Ask me not why I sing in rhyme, Why 'is I woo this bliss sublime And haunt the height, where Muses nest, To moldele my brooding breast, I only know my soul winds O great and the wands Of magic beauty beckon me— I follow on in cottage— Ask me not why. Ask me not why I love the light A calling anguish Nature bright. Why 'is life is lifed up To drink the sweets of poesy's cup; I only know in fancy's flights I reach the realms of pure delights, And there is joy of joys. I know This is the way I faln would go— Ask me not why. Ask me not why (I cannot tell) I'm wrapped within this Eden spell; I cannot say why 'is I crave The nectar of this glory wave; I bind her my hungry heart Binds her the strength to bear (its mart; Of yeaven this manna hit by bit. hire—ah! for the love of it!

The old street car company has put on closed car; on its line long before the cold weather this year, for the first time in the memory of the oldest citizen. Why is this?

D. Miller superintendent. This was the largest number in attendance for many years. Richmond came up with a large delegation, hoping to keep the president in that city. Other sections of the State seemed to have had the same ideas, and with the work for years, was the choice of the convention for president. The Eastern section, as usual, came in large numbers, with Rev. G. E. Reid, D. D., as a forerunner, with the facial expression smiling, and the presence of the officers are ours." So they were delighted to take Mr. D. G. Jacox as corresponding secretary back to Norfolk. The Southwest is as well satisfied with Rev. W. F. Granty as recording secretary as Richmond is with Mr. J. H. Blackwell as treasurer. Notwithstanding this was the largest number of delegates in attendance for years, they were all given homes among some of the most faithful and best people of this community. Miss Irgana and Adèle Alamzur returned from a visit to their old home Danville, Va. Quite a group of our young ladies will leave for the various schools of learning in a few days. Tew, J. H.

Championship Game at Broad Street Champ, Tuesday, September 26. The Richmond Independent Base Ball Team will close its season Tuesday, September 26th. It will be well to state here that this organization of ball players have proven their ability to play well, and are they undisputed champions of the State, but to a player, is considered to be the best in his position that can be found in the State. Henceforth it virtually makes this team an all-star. Those who have witnessed their performances have been loud in prales, the press has been liberal in giving them due credit. There is one feature in itself that will speak to them. They demand for them a strong support, the fact that they have been only defeated once during the season. Mr. Mayo Stephen who obligated himself to an enormous expense in his career, will be a winning team of this callibra, needs no introduction. It will be remembered that for three years he has been working under great strain and financial losses. It is with regret that he must have to contribute to this strong team on account of non-support. If only one-tenth of the bleachers that patronize the State league, would patronize them we would have no grounds to grumble. It is decided to be played between the Independents and Goldsboro of N. C. will be one of the most interesting games seen in Broad St. Park this season. It will be a case of Champions against Champions and Champions against the winner. Come out is full force and cheer our boys to victory. Mrs. Woolfolk Passes Away. DIED — Departed this life at her residence, 1007 Chamf尉, Tuesday, Sept. 12, MRS.

Although Firman Jim Flynn easily demolished Carl Morris, the Oklahoma Giant, last week, the latter has decided to remain in the fighting game. He is going home to Sapulca in a few days to rest for a week or two. He intends to hire several boxing instructors, with whom he will work steadily, until next spring. By that time Morris believes he will know enough about scientific ring training, who he says, must be beaten before another opponent can be considered. Morris doesn't know who will be engaged to teach him how to box, but his manager, Frank B. Ufer, it is said, may try to induce Tommy Ryan to assume the task. If Ryan finds it impossible to manage that, Ufer might do well to engage Hilly Dolaney to arrange matters. In discussing Morris yesterday, Ufer said: Nobody questions Carl's gameness. That's true. Everybody who saw him take the beating from Flynn knows he's got the stamina and the real agility instinct. With these skills, he's got the world to go with and are going to try all over again to make a real pugilist out of the big fellow. He gained a world of experience from Flynn and will profit by it the next time. We are ready to spend unlimited money to teach Morris how to protect himself and at the same time to afford that he is only 2+ years old, there's plenty of time. "The reason Plynn's bumps swelled Morris's face so much was due to tik fact that Carl's skin was tender, as he'd never been hit before. Aside from those bruises Morris wasn't seriously hurt, he took his seconds to throw up the sponge. In my opinion Morris has the same chance to become champion as Jerrifre had when he first boxed in the East. You'll remember that Jeff failed to make a respectable showing against Bob Armstrong a third time. Jeff looked like a big boob on that occasion, but he did not give up the ship. He engaged Tommy Ryan to show him how to fight and a year later he came back with the real stuff. He whipped FitzSimmons, who was a 4 to 1 favorite in the competition in Morris. He has much to learn, but you can't improve his courage, which is all important. "There's no doubt that he was bothered by Flynn's size and ring tactics. Flynn lowered his head and stuck close all the way, so that he could see the long swings. Short arm work was Greek to him and he couldn't put his weight into the blows. He didn't know how to hook or uppercut, and as Flynn ally avoided his swings the Morris had known something about defending his face in half clinches he wouldn't have been beaten so severely. The result of the bout clearly showed what was the matter and, within the next six months he would intend to see these faults, if possible. — N. Y. Sun. Two white boys met two colored boys coming from school the other day. The white boys said to the teacher, "You know those nice-fitting suits you have on!" The colored boys said: "We bought them, from 314 East Broad street." The white boys, said: "We don't buy those suits. We don't come from a colored man's apparel." The lie was passed, and a light she was one was $5.00 or 30 darts in fall. Please don't forget that we have more of those nice school suits left that caused the fight. You can get your little boy's nice school suits, all-wool, knickerbocker style, for $2.00, $2.50, to $5.00. We are headquarters for school shoes and caps.

While the mother was enjoyably bored, she returns the return of her son, the boy home, packed up his clothes, leaving a note, hiding his mother good-bye and asking her to pray for him, and left for Los Angeles. Mrs. White, an returning home and finding the note telling of the departure of her only son, immediately notified police headquarters of Santa Monica and arrested in Los Angeles August 12th. He was found in one of the worst dives in the city. And among the large number of frequent visitors there were about a dozen boys ranging in ages from twelve to eighteen years.

The live discussion arose in the forum Sunday, Sept. 10th, that a certain colored lady had been refused to try on a hat in one of the large department stores in our city, and after the still remains, and there were no solutions given for the same. If our colored business men in Los Angeles, with our capitalists, would spend a little of their surplus change in an establishment of this kind, that we would have would save their friends and families a great deal of embarrassment. We have no place that we can point to with pride. Mr. Sugene Walker has established himself as one of the best tailors in the city, the first class shop and popular prices. The colored population of Los Angeles is between thirty and thirty-five thousand, and there isn't a city in the United States with as large a population as Los Angeles and with an little business among our people.

"This testimony should not be in the record." said Judge Watson "He doesn't know anything of Paul Beatty and his testimony is stricken out." PEOPLE THINK WELL OF HIM. H. R. Blunt, of 1819 Taylor street, who lives around the corner from Paul Beattie, testified that no knew his general reputation for truth and veracity, and had never heard anything against him. "Do you know what people about you think of him?" "Yes. they think well of him. The first time I ever heard his reputation discussed was on Saturday night at Johnson's store. R. P. Dollard, of 106 Randolph street, one block from Paul Beattie's home, testified that in the neighborhood he had never heard anything against the boy, that in the neighborhood they seemed to think well of him. Mr. Carter protested that this witness was not sufficiently informed to testify as to his general representation for truth and veracity. He communicated a long time and nothing against him," roiled the court," that fact is in his favor." The witness is not limited to having heard other people discuss his reputation. If he knows how he stands in the com- munity in which he lives he may "fidify" POP TATE KNOWS HIM. Policeman E. C. (Pop) Tate, who lives at 1624 Beverly street, was called He lives five blocks from Paul Beattie Mr. Tate thought Pauls reputation was good as far as he knew, but admitted that he had limited opportunities of knowing I think the people around there think he is all right, as far as I know, he testified. As this was largely his opinion his testimony was excluded Gregg Fisher, of 2512 M street, said he had known Paul about five years he used to know Paul in New Kent county, and said his reputation down there was good. "I was superintendent of a Sunday-school" and the witness, "and he used to come regularly. I never heard his reputation spoken of other than as good." Wilbur Anderson, formerly lived in New Kent county, where he had known Paul and thought his reputation was good J J Kay who formerly lived in New Kent had known Paul for five or six years. His general reputation for truthfulness was good. Paul had visited at the home of David Boatte and was generally respected and thought as much of as other young men in the neighborhood. I never heard anything disrespectful or kim" said the witness. "If there had been anything wrong I would have heard of it." J O' Goude a conductor on the Southern Railway stated that he knew where the rock quarry was on the Southern near the Belt Line tracks. Is there anything unusual in seeing a man walking along near there carrying a shotgun" he was asked. No sir there is nothing unusual in it. I have seen them." POLICEMAN A WITNESS Policeman C. T. Green of the Richmond force was sworn and he restitched that he knew Paul Beattie and knew Henry Beattie by Might, but not personally Henry Beattie has restitched that he was at Fourth and Franklin streets previous to the murder. Do you know anything about that? I saw him and Paul there "At what time?" At 10:25 o'clock on the Saturday night before the murder." An automobile 'Are the lamps on it now just as he fixed them then?' Yes he took one of the big from lights and put it on in the rear' GREEN CROSS EXAMINED Mr. Smith came to the cross-examination vigorously How did you fix the time so certainly? Well, I pulled in at 33 box at 9 25, then I went over my beat," and the witness detailed the streets he had covered trying front doors to see that they were locked." He told of meeting Connie Johnson just returning from the moving pictures, which he had left at 10 15, and said he had judged the time to be 10 25. "You would not swear that it was not 10 30 or even 10 35." "No air." "Then why were you so positive it was 10 25? You didn't say about or that it was somewhere around that?" "I was waiting for you to ask me." "Didn't I meet you on the lawn out at the coroner's inquest at Dr. Loving's home, whome you had been summoned as a Commonwealth witness, and not placed on the stand, and didn't I ask you in as perfectly courteous way what time it was you saw Paul and Henry and didn't you refuse to tell me?" "Yes air. I told you then that I would have to get Mr Wendenburg's permission to talk with you." "And didn't he refuse to give that permission?" "Yes, sir." And I had to have you summoned as a defense witness without having talked with you?" "Yes." LASSITER'S CLEAR-STATEMENT Roland Lasiter, who drove the first car of dancing boys from Ron Air to Richmond on the night of the murder, was recalled for the third time. "When you came by the store about a mile west of the scene of the crime did you see a car standing beside the road?" "I don't remember seeing it." "Do you know Mr. Kastelberg who has testified here?" "Yes." "How long have you known him?" "About two years." "Do you know hla motor car?" - "Yes," "You have certified here that you saw on that trip, that night, a car standing by the side of the road. east of the whitewashed store with a man at the front and a lady on the running-board. Was that car the Kastelberg car?" "I testified," answered the "witness carefully," that "I saw a car about one-fourth of a mile east of a white building," "that the car you saw that night the Kastelberg car?" "I don't think it was." "How familiar are you with the Kastelberg car?" "I know it when I see it." "Was this man you have described as standing by the engine Mr Kaselberg?" "I don't know I merely saw a man there NOT THE SAME WOMAN "Mr Kastelberg has said that the lady with him had on a hat. Did the lady you saw have on a hat?" "She did not" "What sort of a top has the Kastelberg car?" "Black." "What sort of a top did the car that you saw on the road that night have?" "It had a yellow top cover I don't know what sort of top it was" "Did you know" began Mr Smith in cross-examination, "that Mr Kastelberg wasn't using his car that night?" "I know he wasn't using the Mitchell car he had been driving He was out in a new Knox car" "Have you talked with any of the boys today about the number on the car?" "I hear! John D Blair say he bought the number was D-1]" "Did you see two cars standing still on the road that night, each with a lady on the running-board and a man standing by the engine?" "I did." "Would you not swear that you might not be mistaken?" "I might be but I don't think I am" "Could you be mistaken about the tan coat the lady wore?" "I don't think so" "Could you be mistaken about the lady having no hat?" "I don't think so" "How fast were you going when you passed this car standing by the side of the road with the lady in the car seat on the running board?" "We had almost stopped" "Was it dark?" It was a pretty dark night but I had my lamps burning pretty well On a dark road they would show an object near) two blocks off" AS TO KASTELBERG'S CAR E D Daniel manager of W. C Smith's garage on North Fourth street testified that he recalled the night of Mrs Beattie's murder - July 18 What time did Mr Kastelberg's car come back to the garage that night? asked Mr Wendenburg About to 10 I didn't look at my watch. As it came in Mr. Kastelberg asked me if anybody had called him up and after he had talked to me close on to half an hour, he looked at his watch and said, it was close to 11 o'clock, and he would have to go." Do you* keep any record of the time of coming and going of cars at the garage?" "No sir." Then how did you happen to notice that particular time on a night nearly six weeks ago. The car has been out a great many times since hasn't it? "Well, I'll tell you why I noticed it. Mr. Kastleberg had told the garage manager if his wife called up to say that the car was in the garage and that he had gone out on business." PAUL'S PAY ENVELOPE E A Dunlap timekeeper for I J Smith & Co, on the New May Bridge, produced his note book on the stand and testified that on the Saturday, Sunday and Monday preceding the killing of Mrs Beattie, Paul Beattie had worked ten hours each day. He explained that the men were paid off at 4:30 o'clock on Saturday afternoons, and that Rafter had been there then to relieve Beattie. "If a man were to leave with a substitute in his place," asked Mr. Smith, "would you notice it?" "Probably not," answered the timekeeper. Mr. Dunlap identified a payoff timekeeper named "P. D. Beattie 10.05" as having delivered to Paul Beattie on theursday afternoon in question; the amount, tallying with the amount of time made by Paul during the previous week, The envelope marked "P. D. Beattie" was delivered to Paul about 4:30 o'clock on the afternoon the gun was purchased. DR. MANN RECALLED: Dr. Herbert Mann was recalled, and testified as to having attended Henry Beattie prior to his wife's death. "Was Paul Beattie faking at the coroner's inquest?" he was asked. "I saw Paul twice at the inquest on Friday—the first day. I was listening, to the testimony when Dr. Loving, asked me, if I would go to sea, if I could not stop Paul from hobbling me, if I found six or eight men struggling with him, and somebody was asking for handcuffs. I said, "If you will just leave him alone, he will get quiet himself if you don't fight with him." About a half hour later Dr. Loveking asked me if he was in condition to be taken to a hospital. I went around to see him again, leaned over him and was satisfied it was a hysterical spool—a nervous breakdown. I think I told some one that if I could make him mad I could get some sense into him I leaned over him and whispered, 'Paul, you had better get up and do some talking. If you don't you will be put in jail.' I wanted to make him mad so I could get some sense into him, and made the remark to him: 'Get up from here, there is no reason on earth why you couldn't go to a hospital.' After I had looked him over I told the police they could put him in a car and take him to the hospital with no danger of having him die on the way I didn't use the word 'faking.'" After consultation between the attorneys on both sides, Mr. Wendenburg announced to the jury: It is agreed to save the time of examining another witness or taking the jury out again to view the Beattie motor car, that when the top is up the top is black. When the top is down it has a yellow tan cover that goes over it, making it appear to have a yellow top." It doesn't count, said Mr. Smith, laughing, "that when you take the top down it changes color. It is a black top, and shows so when it is up. When it is down the tan or yellow cover covers it, making it appear yellow." WENT INTO WOODS John Alsop was called. He told of going out to the scene of the crime with Mrs. Scherer, Major Patton and the dogs on the morning following the murder. "Did Mr. Beattie state to you that morning following the murder that the assassin went into the woods?" Yes, he pointed his hand that way and said he went off in the woods. "He may have meant that he went on up the road a piece and then entered the woods?" "That wasn't the way I understood him." Henry Owen, brother of Mrs H C Beattie, Jr., was called. "Mr Bentle has testified here," said Mr Wendenburg. "That he didn't know what became of the gunfettle he was using on the night of the crime. Didn't you on Wednesday, about 13 10 o'clock, go up the road with Henry, and didn't you have some trouble with the engine, and didn't Henry open the hood and stick his hand in and jerk it back as though it had been burned; and didn't Douglas say, 'Where are your hairs?' and didn't Henry reply that he must have left them at home?' "We are prepared to prove that he had three pairs of gunfettles," remarked Mr Smith and Mr. Wendenburg did not press the point SAW THEM ALONE ON PORCH. On July 18, the night of the murder, didn't you see Henry C. Beattie Jr. when he left his garage in his car?" Yes! What time did he leave?" At 7 45 o'clock I couldnt more than a few minutes out of the way. He wont toward Semmes avenue." Did you see Paul Beattie at the home of H C Beattie after the hom- elife?" Yes, on Thursday night." At what time?" Between 7 30 and 9 o'clock, somewhere." "Where was he?" On the side porch alone with Henry. There was no one within ten feet of them. Henry was in a chair and Paul was sitting on the ralling of the porch. Later that night I saw them sitting alone in the dining room." MR CARTER PROTESTS Mr Carter again protested that this was not proper rebuttal testimony. "They put Paul on to assert certain facts," he argued. "We put Henry on in reply, and that should end it." "Where the issue is joined," said the court, "the object of rebuttal is to elucidate. You may except to the ruling of the court." "Mr. Beattie has testified," said Mr. Wendenburg, "that every time he left his wife he would kiss her. Do you remember any occasion after the only was born when she would not kiss him." "The Commonwealth opened up the question of relationship when they put Mrs. Owen on the stand." protested Mr. Smith. "Are they to go over the whole ground again?" "The jury is entitled to the information," ruled the court. "I know once that she was mad with him," answered Mr. Owen. "It was about something she had told me." "You cannot testify to what one told you, unless the accused was present," ruled the court. To the jury he instructed: "You can consider as evidence that part of his answer that he had sent Mrs. Beatrice on one occasion when she would not kiss her husband. You must eliminate all other institution as to her having said she was angry or displeased. "When was this occasion?" the witness was asked. "About two weeks before her death." "Was there any special occurrence, asked Judge Watson, "by which you can six the time when Boatte came out of his garage with his automobile the night of the homicide?" "Yes, after I saw him go out I walked over and got on the quarter to 8 car and went over to Richmond, and the clock struck 1 I got to Seventh and Broad streets." James Rafter, night watchman on Mayo's Bridge, was recalled. "What time did you relieve Paul on the Saturday preceding the homicide?" "It was about half-past 4 o'clock in the afternoon. It might have been a few minutes sooner." "Did Paul Bentle and Mr. Nebrett know each other and talk together often?" asked Mr. Smith. "I don't know. Mr. Neblett worked at night." answered Mr. Rafter. SAW THEM TOGETHER, TOO. James Lloyd, a near neighbor of the Beattles, was called. "Do you know Henry C Beattie, Jr., the prisoner at the bar?" "Yes, sir." "On the night of the murder did you see him when he left his garage?" "No, sir." "Did you see Paul Beattie at his residence after the murder?" "Yes, sir, the night after." "Where?" "On the side porch with Henry They were alone." About what time was this? "About 7:45 P.M. Just after dusk." "Did you see Paul there again on Thursday night?" "I was not at the Beattie home Thursday night?" Detective Sergent Wiltshire was recalled to rebut the testimony of David Weinstein, son of the pawn-broker, who sold the gun to Paul Beattie "When did David Weinstein tell you Paul got the gun?" "At a quarter past 10 o'clock? Who was there when he told you?" "The three Weinsteins" "Any other officers?" No. sir." COMMONWEALTH RESTS We rest for the Commonwealth," announced Mr. Wendenburg, suddenly "We reserve the right to put on anything that seems material in the morning," he qualified a moment later. "Then we reserve the same right" said Mr Carter promptly. "I think this is a good place to stop," said Judge Watson. "The next thing to be considered is the instructions. Have you gentlemen prepared any?" "We have not." answered Mr Smith. "We have been working like galley slaves for the past two weeks as it is." There was a conference between attorneys, and Mr Smith announced that neither side would insist on a view of the scene of the crime, unless the jury asked it. Judge Watson turned to the jury and asked whether the members thought they would understand the argument better after looking over the ground. The jurymen indicated they had no desire to visit the scene. ARGUMENT IN CHAMBERS. Mr Carter asked whether the attorneys could not meet the judge in Richmond to argue the instructions in chambers, suggesting Mr. Smith's office or that of Mr. Wendenburg. Judge Watson agreed that time would be saved in having the argument on instructions in Richmond, and after a conference it was agreed to have the argument today in the room of the State Library for convolutions at the State Library for convolutions, as it is expected that both sides will cite many authorities. The argument will open at noon. The judge expressed his regrets to the jury that completion of the hearing before election day would be impossible, "I will not be able to vote, as I vote in Nottoway," he explained, "and of course, the jurors will not be allowed to vote." Argument of the case proper will begin at Chaterfield, Courthouse tomorrow morning at 10'clock. The judge suggested 9'o'clock, but Mr. Carter protested that at least the attorneys might be allowed to vote. He said he had no doubt of the result of the senatorial primary, but that there was a close fight for the State Senate in his district, in which he would like to cast his ballot. "You have forgotten to mention the fight I have on on my own account for the State Senate," remarked Mr. Wondonburg. With the consent of both sides, it was made a matter of record that it is two and one-fifth miles from the blood spot marking the scene of the crime, to the Bolt Line railway crossing, both points being on the "Midlothian" Turnpike. Court was then formally adjourned until tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, and Shariff Gill was directed to take charge of the jury and prisoner. The proceedings today will be of a purely legal and technical nature in chambarn. WILL NOT BE LIMITED. attorneys is that the argument will not be limited. The Commonwealth will open on Thursday morning. The defense will follow and the Commonwealth will close some time on Friday, and the case will be at once submitted to the jury. It had not been determined last night in what order the attorneys would speak, but all agree that from the wide range that the evidence, had taken, the bringing in of some apparently unrelated facts, and the presence of some conflicting circumstances, that the argument will prove a most important part of his trial. The prisoner and his family left the courtroom last night with the feeling that o long-drawn-out ordeal was nearly at an end. Newspaper men began preparations for prompt flashes announcing the verdict. One enterprising correspondent has had a special wire run into a giant tree, from the branches of which the operator can look down into the courtroom. The solemn word of this paper and its representative is pledged that but one word is ever to be sent over that wire, which is connected through to New York. When the jury finally returns to its seat and Foreman Farley hands the verdict to Clerk Cogbill, the operator may send but one of three words: Acquitted, guilty, misstrial. Other equally ingenious and enterprising correspondents have arranged a code signal system, by which a wave of the hand from the courtroom window will send the news of the verdict speeding through the great press associations to every paper of importance in the world. --- GREGORY ASKS JURY TO CONVICT BEATTIE Commonwealth's Attorney Gregory opened the argument for the State. "May it please the court and you, gentleman of the jury," he began, "before I proceed I wish to say that the duty I owe to the high moral character and standing of my county requires me to say this: the facts connected with this case would not have been brought to light without the splendid aid and indolatitude of the judge, the magnificent and the county authorities. I feel that the thanks of our people are due them for throwing light on the hidden secrets of this crime. "When you took your seats, gentlemen of the jury, you heard fall from the lips of the court the words that 'you shall well and truly consider the issue joined between the defendant at the bar and the Commonwealth, and a verdict rendered according to the evidence, so help you God.' The Scripture sniff. 'Thou shalt not kill.' The accusationaetoaet shall not kill.' The record in this case shows that, in the darkness of the night of July is the land of this county was soiled by the midnight tread of high-hundred assassin. That touch, sensibility, opinion, to shock every sensibility, to creed. Our duty is to show you who is the man who soiled the highway of this county, the man who committed the crime, the man whose heart so burned with hate against that woman—his wife. NO OTHER THAN HENRY. "I believe we can show the jury that no, other man could, that no other man did, commit this crime, no other than the man behind the bar. Why do I say it? Let us see. In the instructions you have heard the court tell you about considerings the time, the place and the opportunity to connect a man with the crime. No man; up to this time, has been seen near the scene of the crime. "If there had been another man who would have been seen. The defendant is the only man who was seen at that lonely spot armed with a gun. The gun which he identified himself was the gun which did this murderous dead. You have one significant fact to consider. Jarrell tells the jury that the light on that machine threw its lustre for 75 or 100 yards on both sides. The glow was sufficient to have furnished light to the accused to see any one there. Roland Sydnor tells you that on the very evening of the crime he saw a man at this spot alone, evidently preparing then to commit the dead. That time the machine was unknown to him Tillman. Shoe then has examined both the man and the machines, and they sit two panes of glass. He tells of how this man went to the top of the hill to get a view of both ways east and west to see if the hollish man planned in his bosom could be detected. But God in His mercy, God the eternal law-giver, provided means to show who the man was who fired the fatal gun. How do we get at that in two ways. If Sydnor had been the only one, to see the criminal, there would have been a vacuum, but circumstances increased in number and became facts. At the spot where Sydnor saw the man, two automobiles passed coming from Bon Air. Boys in one of those machines saw the same man, the same machine the same woman, as described by them to you. They described where the woman was standing. The way ```markdown ``` fired the fatal shot—it was fired to kill that woman. COULD NOT HAVE DONE IT. "Why do I say that it was. In a little time after those automobiles passed the fatal shot was fired. "A pool of blood was found in the highway, a pool of blood eighteen by twenty-four inches. Whose blood was it? Where was the fatal hand that dealt the blood on the spot, have been said, be told. The man in the automobile could have seen, and did see if he were approached by another. No man could have thrown a gun in his face and shot the woman as he said she was shot. The man he saw—where was he? He says he saw the man coming out of the side of the car, that from side of the road to the blood spot on one side to fourteen feet, and on the other thirteen feet. Only one man could have seen the crime—that man at the bar. Two-boy told you, the exact time, the exact place, the exact position, describing the very man, the very automobile. The man was on the ground, the woman on the running board, the man has had the bon "mother, could have been seen. Why wasn't he seen? "There is the man," pointing at Beattie. "There is the criminal. I tell you no other man was seen at that spot. Why do you say it? You know, he was there to confess. After that night went, early in the next morning people flocked to the scene of the crime. Major Patton went to the scene—and I challenge proof of my assertion, for Major Patton is a high-ranking officer and was conduled with him. What did "Beattie say? They handed the gun together, and Boattie told Major Patton that, that was the gun which killed his wife. Then and there he described it. And up to now, he has been so hard to remove the description of that fatal gun MAJOR PATTON'S EVIDENCE "Is that all? Connected with that is the evidence to show you that the only man at that spot was the prisoner' Major Patton asked him what became of the man, and he said that the man had gone off through the woods. But when confronted with the facts which disproved that, Major Patton said. "That can't be so, because the trail would have been found." At this point he said from the record Major Patton's evidence as to this part of the story. "Now, Major Patton," continued the attorney, "drew Beatty's attention to the fact, showing that the man did not go through the woods, and Beatty armed himself with a provocation - The next day he said he thought the man ran up the road." "You cannot consider the dogs," interrupted the court, and the Commonwealth's attorney did not touch on them. "Let's see about the gun," he went on. "Beatto said to Major Patton. 'Yes, sir; that is the gun which killed my wife.' Then he said he thought was the gun. 'Was it the wrong trooper looked at it and said: I think that the gun.' He told Major Patton that the man ran through the woods, and he changed and said the man went off up the road, and then you heard what he said about the gun. What effort has been made to disprove that the gun was detaken by the defense are conclusive, positive proof that this prisoner was the man, his car the car, the woman his wife. The position is unassailable. The store has been identified and placed 200 yards this side of the spot. And where the car was hit by the boys and other witnesses the gun go off. The location where the car was seen has now been fixed. PROOF AQAINST PRISONER4 "Only one effort has been made to remove it, and that effort is positive proof against the prisoner. What are the facts. A mile and a half from the Thomas store was another store. On the same side of the road, half way, is a house with a pump and a trough in front. And here comes the soon—Kastelborg's car. Kastelborg's car for a joyride—he has not told you, the name of the woman he was with, the birds of a feather flock together." Judge Gregory whipped Kastelborg's character with a scourging tongue. "He does not go near to Thomas's store but to Ritter's store, where he stopped, with a woman dressed in white. It was a different automobility, different in color and size, and the man was pouring water in. He was a distiller. If they had put him in Thomas's store, there might have been a courtroom for the effort. But the fatal blow to the former comes from his own violence. He has drawn the sword, and must die by the sword. "they have failed absolutely, to their our evidence, and that is conclusively, that we alleged it true, and they have shamefully failed, to disprove it." him or the time, and let the take him that him, and the war. You cannot rid yourself of those fatal facts. The dense has, absolutely, failed to relieve, itself by Kastelberg. The de- fense tried other means; it brought in another man with a gun. It left the man alone, so the soldier with guns walking along the road. But the time, the place and the man don't suit. NO SHADOW OF HUMANITY. "Hero Benttle stands, with no shadow of humanity near him except the dead body of his wife. Why didn't they make a man to fit the representations the prisoner gave himself? Where are they—these other men with guns? The prisoner was there, according to his own words, and he makes an effort to place the burden of guilt on another's shoulders. "There have been four efforts to come to his relief, and all have mislaid the prisoner alone, standing by that pool of blood. Cain said, 'I'm not my brother's keeper,' but he was scourged by God for his crime. A voice from that pool of blood cries to a jury, to the county, to all the domestic fabric of our civilization for justice. "This young man was not, though he ought to have been by all the laws of God and by all the laws of man, the keeper of that devoted wife. He was not. He was a traitor to his moral and religious duties, to his husband's duty. He forsook her, his wife—not only forsook her but filled her body with fatal shot. The Commonwealth has gone inward to it. It is not required that we prove a motive, but we have gone beyond that point. We have broken down the doors. Is it possible for any Christian mind to conceive how this young mgn could leave that place of happiness and resort to another fireside and take to his bosom a woman of the character of Beulah Blinford* Is it possible to conceive it? Do you recall that it has been particularly shown that he was the direct cause of bringing Beulah Blin- ford back from Norfolk? Sampson in, him, and Sampson and he were ashamed to go down the streets together. WORST HE HAS EVER KNOWN "I have been practicing here for thirty years, and this record reveals the most hoinous crime I have ever been connected with or investigated. There was no malice in this man's A tender habe hung upon her breast filled with the venom of corruption, woman and, to quote the words of Douglas Beattle, his own brother, his lassom warrior all over Manchester. He was so steeped in crime that he and Sampson were ashamed to walk the streets of Manchester again." "There is your motive He wanted to make a home with this other woman. Is that all? Whose name did that Blinford child bear? Who paid the general expenses when that child died? And, then, how shall we consider that letter—that letter beginning "hair Kid," and signed "Hon" the general of love and a thousand kills—that will we consider it when we know that at home he had a faithful wife?" "How do things stand? Where did the gun come from? How did it go away? The last time it was seen it was traced into the actual possession of Henry Clay Beatle, Jr. the Wolstein's tell you who bought it to sold for it. And where it was delivered. From the pawnbroker's store it went into the mobile of the prisoner, and it was never again seen until the fatal night, when he examined it and said, 'Yes, this is the gun that killed my wife.' Had he not been there and not Major Patton it might have been different. He tells you he was the gun. The man was deliberately gotten, but he never said it, never admitted it until he said, 'This is the gun.' The evidence shows that the gun was bought by Paul Beattie, demeaned to Paul for Henry, with Paul menacing him. He was taken into Henry's automobile was never seen by him in' the hands of Major Patton And he says, 'I am being pursued by which fact I which I when man did not go into the woods, then he must have gone up the road "POOR, UNFORTUNATE NER- LETT." "And now we come to poor, unfortunate Noblett, the man who undertook to say that he saw Paul Beattie with a gun, that unfortunate man who was so overwhelmed by the gun, that he saw Paul that Paul had no gun that Sunday morging. It was like proving an alibi. He is overwhelmed by the men who told without equivocation that Paul did not have a gun, a propose to discharge his duty, as I wrote, two persons in this transaction—Jeremy Clay Beattie, Jr., and his slain wife. Only these two are known to me now. But there is a whole community, not only in this county, but in the whole Commonwealth which needs protection, which needs law to protect virgin civilization and Christianity. And I shall not hesitate to do my duty. "His Honor has told you that you have to weigh the evidence, and in doing so that you are to consider the relative conduct these people who have testified have to each other and to the prisoner. I call your attention to the virtue and vice, and I shall do it as I see it. Who have been on this stand to speak for Henry I. Has there been anybody but his own people, anybody but his own, close personal friend? Against his father I have nothing to say. For him I have nothing but approval. I am the head of a family, and he has my sympathy. He is not my fault; and I cannot shoulder the responsibility. Every member of the Battles family has given you to believe that Henry is immature, and impervious to crime and to the alarm Boulan Binford. They said that in face and in full view of the witnesses who came in this court and detailed for Henry the blackest character that could be given to a "Here is a man accused of murdering his wife, young man married less than a year accused of murder, the mother of his only third with whom he had quarrel, and with whom his relatives have, been heretofore unacceptable.

"Up to the time the tragedy occurred there was a relation between Henry and Paul which was never disturbed. They were so close and confiding that Henry goes to Paul to buy a gun for him. If Paul was the man they now say he is. Henry would not have been so foolish as he have asked Paul to buy a weapon which to kill his wife. But the facts show the man Paul Bentlett was attacked. They tried to destroy him with Noblett, but Noblett went down. There were witnesses from New Kent county, where the boy went to Sunday school, and they gave Paul such a character as any young man would be proud to possess. Now why? How trouble came, and Paul comes and tells the whole story not as Douglas Bentlett and would do—despite the evidence against him is either He comes and has the whole story. Douglas would have kept the evidence of guilt from the court, the Commonwealth and the jury. Paul is above that. He comes forward and tells the whole story, which is confirmed by the Weinstein and Policeman Green. "Every member of the Beattie family has come here to try to suppress this boy and to ruin his character, but they failed. Not a soul here was his kinsman. But the prosecution got men who knew him, and proved his character. Only no child fury was needed to move people. Compelled Paul to buy that gun, but he had a further purpose—to do all he could to destroy Paul Beattie in order to save himself. This is a motive, and it shows to what extent Douglas would have gone to destroy evidence in order to save his brother. "Where are we? Are we going into anarchy, that this should be, so is virtue to lose its influence? Where are we, I say? I am appalled SWORD DRAWN AGAIN "Before the night of July 15 they were bosom friends, but, alas' that fatal night came and the dagger of death struck down Henry Beattle's wife. And the sword was to be repost and alas' that Paul Beattle reaged and I challenge proof to the contrary—could there have been any other man with a gun on the Middlothian Turnpike about eleven o'clock but Henry C. Beattle, Jr? They have made efforts to prove otherwise, and they have failed, leaving the dead body of Alcace with the dead body of his wife - if the man Kastetberg had been at the place where Sydnor saw the prisoner, at the same place where the boys saw the prisoner, it would be different. And Sydnor verifies that he watched a Pilz Mossoctenuntil and time and place where and when she heard the shot, agreeing with Tom Shepperson and others. "Observe that Paul got on the stand and examined the gun, and said it was the same that he had bought at Welnatels. He Identified the brass tacks, and said it was the same gun. "Henry says he had a fight with a big man six feet tall and weighing 200 pounds. He throw the gun in the automobile and went to Tom's house. Tom told that the gun was gone. Where was the gun? He couldn't find it. But it was found by a colored woman, and the distance from the edge of the highway to the point where the gun was found was measured. And what does he say? That he was going fast, going at a speed of fifty-five miles an hour, and that the gun bounced out is that so? They put witnesses on the stand—Carroll Montague and Carson—to see how an automobile would jump in going across the Belt Line. They were asked if they were there for the pose of making a test. Did they have anything in the automobile? Nothing but newspapers, and they didn't bounce out. REFERS TO MRS OWEN Take that place shrouded in darkness, bounded by the deepest forecasts along the road. There a crime was committed, and for what? One lonely woman draped in mourning has taken the stand to uphold the memory of a lovely daughter. She stood here on the stand, and you could see that she was tolling the truth. And she told you of circumstances the husband ought to be removed from the house, where she told you of a young woman on whom bosom a little baby clung and should cling. She told you that her daughter and her husband were not happy together, as they should have been. And the others—what do they tell you? They tell you of bliss and angelic harmony—and which shall you believe? You hear how Henry brought Beulah here and promised to help her if she would bother men alone. Mrs. Beattie's brother met you that he was present, and that she once refused to kiss him good-by. The facts were brought by her. The same one—by her mother draped in mourning by her brother. Now we have proved a motive; we have proved the time and place. 1 "Remember the conduct of this man after the homicide. A man should have been weeping under such circumstances, and Dr. Morcer tells that he was drunk, staggering about, and made more horrible? I didn't do it. There is evidence that it was done. It was not my fault, nor yours. ASKS FOR CONVICTION. "When they want to look for the guilt the lights, on the automobile want out, and what eld he say? Let the o - d lights alone. Let the man can't comprehend it. I can't understand the results of these sets. All of them, together, point to the prisoner at the bar as the culprit, as the man who killed his wife on the alight of Dickerson, Virginia Union University. Va.

HILL CARTER MAKES MASTERLY ADDRESS As Commonwealth's Attorney Gregory concluded, Judge Watson announced that the court awaited the pleasure of the defense, and Hill Carter arose. "Gentlemen of the jury" he said. "There is in your hands for your consideration the question in 26 years old and a citizen of your county. Of course, no more momentous question to him and his could be involved. I take it that you gontellon fully realize the seriousness and the solemnity of the occasion. I remember on the examination of the jurors in this case one of the jury, who had admitted that he held a certain bias, stated that this man was on trial for his failure that he was guilty of his justice, that he struck with the many ring in his voice, and I believe and know such a sentiment animates the breasts of all the jurors. "This young man's whole life has been bared before you. It has been narrated to you, not only by neighbors of the family, but also by his father. He has told this boy from his youth, taking the part of both mother and father, and I ask it without fear of contradiction if there has been proven anything in his life to indicate that he was the cold-blooded man who comedied with his character is perfect. It has been disclosed to you by the Commonwealth and by us his relations with this woman, Beulah Binford, shows that he is not a perfect man. But is that phase of his character an exception? In this case 'Lord' see. Let us see what the court has said on that question. "Commonwealth's Attorney Gregory has said that his character was proven by members of his family. What did R. C. Broadduck say? That Henry was a man of kindly disposition. Is Mr Broadduck a member of the Battle family? D. I. Loney, who has represented you in the Logisalian and whose spouse is a character—is he a member of Henry's family? Is H. S. Maurice, once the Mayor of Manchester, a member of the Battle family? He spoke well of Henry's character. Were R. S. Robertson and John Moore members of the Battle family? And A. J. D. Difrion, is he a member of the Battle family, and are W. A. Washingtons and are members of Henry's family. Yet all these men spoke well of his disposition. "A dozen witnesses, men of the highest character and position, have stated under oath that they have known this man since childhood and that they have never seen in him anything to indicate brutality. They may claim that he is available and of a kindly nature, but it is not that proof, and has it not been conceived dicted? No witness has been impached, nor influenced. Now, listen to what the court says about that kind of character. 'The evidence' so far as it relates to the good character of the prisoner should be considered by the jury to determine whether he in the indictment. It is reasonable, self sufficient to raise it, may be in its doubt, and where such reasonable doubt is raised it is conclusively in favor of the prisoner.

It is unbelievable that he could have gone out there in consequence of a preconceived plan and have deliberately taken her life. To believe that of him you must believe that these gentilmen who have known him must have misread him, misunderstood his character or have misrepresented the facts. "You are not trying him for something else, but for a floundish murder without provocation and without motive. You approach the consideration of this crime with the statement of the court that if there is a reasonable doubt as to the commission of the crime by him, you must acquit him. Not only that, but his character may of itself raise that reasonable doubt. The burden is on the Commonwealth, and it is no light a girl like trying a negro for stolling a child like trying this young man, whose life lies before you an open book, for his life, and you can convict only on evidence sufficient as to remove all reasonable doubt. "Well, my friends that without out the active aid of outside officers the Commonwealth could not have made the case as strong as it is. This case is one that has been groomed, nursed and manipulated and made out by detectives. They commenced work on it the morning after the murder. They got into their heads a theory which they have been moving heaven and earth to support the case. Instead of objects for the man described by the accused, they abandoned that and turned every effort to work out their theory and to stump him as the guilty man. WORSE THAN JEALOUS WOMAN I tell you that of all the suspicious men under God's sun the detective is the most suspicious A jealous woman is not in it with him With them trifles light as air are facts strong as Holy Writ. Everything suspicious is construed into evidence of guilt That mob of detectives traveled not in two and three, but in dozens to establish the theory it pleased them to adopt. They said that they metoof he didn't cry That confirmed them in the theory that he had done the das.

Simpson" and at times sailing under other names has been parastaltely swulling both white and colored people in Norfolk. Portsmouth, Newport News and Phobus. 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., Jr. and call him to send him six hundred and a half or some like amount at once to the 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 of Buckroof Beach and as he has been carrying on this kind of swindling for about two years, that boat is presumably wrecked every year. He says he saw the letter he sent to him in care of the person who advances the money. He never comes back, to see if the money comes as he directs. We have written continuously to the people, who send these letters, but we have had quite a time to keep up with him. Keep clear of Captain John R. Simpson or anybody who looks like him.

The African League, a journal published at Buchanan, Grand Bassau, Liberia, for July, 1911, tells of a grand twenty-sixth of July celebration in Grand Bassau. It announces in big headlines that the big street parade, spicy oration and big dinner was unceremoniously concluded by a big fight between the Mayor of Edina and Soldier Ricks of Lower Buchanan. The account is interesting. Here it is. In spite of the rain that foll from the heavens In Bassau on the 26th instant, Liberia's natal day, the people turned out to celebrate the glorious day that they so much love. Although the rain delayed their movements, about 11 30 Captain N. G Weaver, Marshall of the day, proceeded to the residence of Col. E. W. Liles and received the militia, thence to the residence of Hon. H. L. White chairman of the Common Council of Buchanan, to receive in line city Council and officers of Buchanan and Edina, thence to the residence of Mr. W. G Harmon chorister, and received the choir; therefore to the residence of Mayor J. T. Innis who he was received to line with other officers of State the judiciary, chairman of the township of Hartford, the orator of the day and other distinguished citizens. The Mayor of Edina had not yet arrived. The procession then marched to the M. E. Church, where the exerci-ces took place as previously arrived. The procession was adorned with beautiful wreaths representing the four different counties, the executive, Legislature, Judiciary, militia towns of Buchanan and Edinburgh, the township of Hartford and the orator of the day. It was a very careful procession. beautiful proves. The program was ronded at the church in a manner credible to any municipality in the country. The introductory address was delivered by Mr. J. A. D. Howard, and the Declaration of Independence was read by Master Arthur Harris. The singing was directed by Mr. W. O. Harmon, and the singing was really nne. Mr. J. L. M. Reeves, the orator of the day, was at his host. He delivered a very interesting and practical address, Indian with such facts, and given out in a style that held his audience's attention throughout the address. At the close of the oration the procession marched to the Government house, where the table was spread for the dinner. The dinner was prepared with great care and good expense to make it what the city of Buchanan usually has—a dinner unsurpassed by any in the Republic. Mayor Innis, of Buchanan, was seated at the head of the table, and Mayor Johnson, of Buchanan, seated at the end. The eating standing occurred between Buchanan's guest, Mayor Johnson of Edina, and Mr. Ricks, a soldier of Lower Buchanan, when the Mayor slapped the soldier, who, in turn, took his heavy fist and sunshaded the Mayor between the eyes. The soldier was taken away, and he was held by his suppressor all over, and roteed him. When Mayor Johnson took a bottle of beer and inflicted it two or more severe wounds in the soldier's face. There is considerable comment on the light. It appears that Mayor Johnson was the aggressor all the way, being under the influence of Jupiter, and for this cause many accusations were made. For when he was influenced he is liable to act in a way that he would not under different circumstances. Mr. Ricks is a quiet young man from Montserrado county. Stopping in Lower Buchanan, the light unceremoniously just uned to the great feast. The great toasts that had been prepared had to be to the rogret of the Mayor of Buchanan, and all those who were present for peace and quietness. At night the lovers of the dance gathered at the residence of Councilman E J S Worrell and lipped the light fantastic too until a very late hour, and the exercises of the 26th were over This is supplemented by another trouble. Here it is. On the evening of the 25th instant a misunderstanding occurred between Mayor Innis and J J C Marshall about a pig which was owned by Mr J J C Marshall but which Mayor Innis bought from it. Mayor Innis appalled that Mayor Innis shot the pig it seems, believing that it was really Attorney Bevant's pig sold to Mayor Innis in good faith. Mr Marshall believed that it was a scheme to take his pig from hip in spite of his object. Mayor Innis and tried previously to buy a pig from Mr Marshall, but Mr Marshall would not sell. These gentlemen had strong words over the shooting of the pig, and it resulted in the unhappy fact of Mr Marshall running home for his gun. Mayor Innis, the Mayor but by much persuasion by the men of the upper ward Mr Marshall desisted. The African League gives a vivid portrayal of corrupt political conditions, which are closely akin to those in existence in many parts of this country. It says: In the last issue of the African League the question was asked by Lion J. Prosser, "Who will decide the great content" now filed in the county courts by supposed detained candidates voted for at the May 1911, quadrennial election. To fair reasonable and just men, this is a very pertinent and important question, when it is considered that a majority of the seats of the apparently elected members of the House of Representatives are being contested by their competitors on the grounds that they were apparently elected by the most disgrant and open fratricide. The Liberian makes each branch of the Culture judge of the qualification, etc., of its own members. In contest cases the contested men must withdraw and meet and defend themselves against their contestants. Now a majority of the seats of the members of the House of Representatives are being contested; hence a minority of the House must try the contest cases. If they are tried by that House. But a minority of the House must adjourn day by day, they must adjourn from time to time, they get a majority present. If they are at a glance the dilemma in which the Legislature will be placed at its next session. There are fourteen members of the House of Representatives. There are, as we understand, twelve contest cases filed. It is a universal principle of law and justice that no one should judge his own case. It is also known that the absent is being contested is allowed to help decide on the contest case of another, the two partisan friends will help each other, and that is equivalent to judging their own cases. Therefore, the men whose seats are being contested can have no part in being or deciding the contests. That "who will decide the great contest"? Suppose the contestants of Montserrado decide that the matter is too rotten, and corrupt for them to follow up, and suppose they surrender to the reign of perjury, fraud and subterfuge of justice, as some say they will do. there will still be left members to contested, and only six members to contested scans. Can a minority do injustice, not according to our Constitution? "Who will decide the contest?" Some rocklessly say that there will be no attention paid to any contests; that the contents will be brushed aside and contestants shamfully treated, and made to pay cost at once in Monmouth; that the administration will not decide against itself; that it will simply be a sham trial, etc. These assailions are being made by Government officials, and some of them so high standing in office and in political circles that reasonable minds must take cognizance of them, and conclude that the respondents don't want to meet the contestants on just and fair grounds and on legal principle. But let us take the more charitable view of the matter. We shall suppose that justice is done. We shall suppose that in this case matter the trials of it will know that they are making history; and that the nations of the world are judging the men who are judging the contests; that they must answer, to God for their conduct in that public prior. We must believe that the priors of the contest will be just and will throw away all polls that are manifestly corrupt. All polls conducted contrary to law we must believe that the priors that the rulers who will be sworn men, will porfure themselves or violate their trust. We must not prefude them, for it is said that the new administration will be one of reform, and surely it will not build a foundation upon the priors of the contest, nor have the offerritory to tell the just nations that it stands for reform. Let us go up to Monrovia as just and upright patriots. It is not the cause of the contestants only, but it is the just cause of a majority of the tax payers of the Republic of Liberian that the contestants represent, is what shall be decided at the next session of the Legislature. When they said the contestants back home they snuff the one of a majority of the riried people, of this country; they will add infiltrations and insult to an already outraged people. Will they do it? Wait and see. It looks "to a manning a tree" that the Republic is "riding for a fall", which may ultimately result in the loss of its independence and the establishment of a foreign protectorate. PRESIDENT TAFT'S DECLARATION. President Taft has begun his great "swing around the circle," and his utterances are occasioning much commend. Some of his assertions are open to question, and indicate that his memory is defective. This is the most charitable way in which to view his remarks. His defense of the Supreme Court of the United States and its recent decision would indicate that his recent appointees have carried out their part of the compact and conformed to his wishes in the recent judicial decision which read into the Sherman Anti-Trust Act words not therein contained. We have read President Taft's declarations, and we have it emphasized from time to time that he has all of the wiles of the politician and few of the principles of a statesman. He is disposed to side-step great issues in order to accomplish urgent results. When he is confronted with the law he is disposed to apologize and to urge the doctrine of avoidance. His declaration that he was not conacious of having used the patronage of his office to accomplish given result was attacked by his critics, one of whom called his attention to the fact that he had cut off the patronage of his office from those insurgents of his party, who had refused to support the Administration measures without the proper amendment being added thereto. His own private secretary, Hon Charles D. Norton, wrote: "While Republican legislation is pending in Congress was opposed by certain Republicans, the President felt it to be his duty to the party and to the country to withhold Federal patronage from certain Senators and Congressmen who seemed to be in opposition to the Administration's effort to carry out the promises of the party platform." President Taft of discombbling, of evading and of beclouding the issue. It shows, too, that in evading the issues as relating to colored men, he has pursued the same policy in dealing with white ones. The Constitution of the United States, so far as it relates to the rights of a citizen, regardless of race, color or previous condition of servitude, is so plaint that "a way-faring man, though a fool, need not err" or even make a mistake Still, the President of the United States has shrugged his shoulders and the Supreme Court of the United States has dodged, when confronted squarely with its provisions. We note with interest then the present attitude of President Taft, and we shall observe with added interest the result of the next presidential election. $100.00 ENDOWMENT PAID.

The annual meeting of the Equal Rights Association of the South was hold February 9, 1903, at No. 38 Academy street, Cleveland, O. That city is where the headquarters of that organization is located. Most of the Southern States were represented, whose presides were not present sent the presides. All the old officers, except president and treasurer, were re-elected. Mr. W. H. Thorp, of Boston, Mass., who was an attendant, was elected president, and Mr. I. E. Turner, of New York, treasurer. On motion of Secretary Battles, of Louisiana, C. H. Hinds, of Mississippi, was appointed the president of the power of the Old World. The motion was unanimously adopted. White Mr. Hinds was out drawing up the appeal, there were several speeches made by the delegates on the racial question, all of which were to the point at issue none of them berry, but patriotic, logical and eloquent. Mr Hinds came to the table with he read, and it was adopted without a dissenting vote. The annual is as follows. We, therefore, now, in the name of God Almighty, do hereby appeal to the powers of Europe and to every civilized nation of the Old World, through their representatives at宫廷 D. G. Co. perform some way in lieu of the poor, downrodden, outraged Afro-Americans of the United States. The Americans intervened, so they claimed for humanity, because of Spain's barbarous treatment to the Cubans. They were island at the cost of many lives, censured the Spanish throne for wholesale murder, butchery, and torture of innocent Cubans, forging the beam that was in their oce; of their unequal savagery; of burning monarchs; of killing children who would not tolerate to be done to their bitertous foe. The foreign powers have the same and a better right to interfere in defense of 10,000,000 people that are liable to be murdered at will by prejudiced classmates of America, for no cause whatever, only their skin is darker than those that call themselves white people. Max Mueller says the word white is a misnomer, because there is no one white, but there, are different nationalities, among them nationalities of the earth that comprise the people of the world. The word has been misconstrued and in totor is a falshood that is misapplied to explain people. The Bible, in fact, is not about white people. This appears defies contradiction. In God's name, will the King of England, will the Emperor of Germany, will the Carr of Russia, will the Sultan of Turkey, will the Shah of Persia, will the Emperor of Austria, will the King of Italy, and will the King of Greece, will the Frother of Sweden, will the President of Portugal, will the President of France, will the King of Sweden, and will the King of Slam, will the Emperor of China, will the Emperor or Mikado of Japan, will the rulers of Belgium, Roemania, Luxemburg, Montenegro and in other foreign countries half of the suffering, outraged and murdered Afro-American people of the United States, and thus save the name of Christianity from reproach, mockery and derision, and the name of humanity from shame, ridicule, all of its dear amenities from disgrace, scorn and ignominy! For God's sake, intervene to save us, the Afro-American men, women and children, before we are all murdered by those so-called prejudices whites of our race. We plead. We beg you, to save us. On motion of I E Turner, C. W. Hinds was appointed to have 10,000 of these appeals printed and to either carry them in person or to forward them to the representatives of the church. In 1995, Hinds is hereby authorized to speak in the churches, that can be secured. He also has the right to take up collections to detray his travelling expenses. In compliance with the motion we do not have any such records and that this is a true copy. We ask the associate press of Europe, all the Old World, and America to publish this appeal broadcast to all the people in the world. Since this appeal was presented we have been told the countries that are controlled by so-called white rulers. The late appeal is to nations ruled by so-called non-white people. The International Association of the Black, Brown and Yellow Races of the World has received copies of several appeals that have been made to Presidents, Congresses and States of the United States of America. We see you and hear that ever one thousand people have been treated with contempt and ignored by said Presidents, Congresses and States. We have read where men, women and children are tortured every way before they are burned at the stake and upon one or more occasion put upon the Opera House stages and an admission of 60 cents and a charge of 25 cents per shot at a tied man's body, and over 3,000 Kentuckians paid the said fee and fired over 20,900 shots into the man's person. We further know from reports that over 23,683 so-called colored people have been butchered and slaughtered by so-called American slains since the so-called American Jaw. We are aware that no other power presents such a bloody catalogue in the world. We know that those loyal native-born Americans are burlesqued, molested by the so-called white men, women and children as no one else has done. We know that they are barred in mills, stores, municipalities, from State or Federal offices, not promoted to commissions in the army nor navy, none upon the high courts' benches or in the President's cabinet, neither are they paid the same wages as the so-called white people receive; cannot objected to on the account that their complexions are not so-called white, although white is not a miscellion nor color. Using that miscellion and barbarously killing off the dark people, proscribing, ostracising, discriminating and taking their dear right, declinating both poor and rich people in the dark brothers in appealing to Japan, China India. Moreover, Alyssina and all other so-called non-white people in the world, to intervene as a unit against the wanton murder of the dark races in America as well as the Jews in the old country; also against the oppression of any nationality and race, and see to it that justice be dealed to every man, woman and child, irrespective of race, religion and complexions, also that lynching be made an international crime of murder in the first degree, and not only so-called white women protected as they are in the United States, but black, brown and yellow ones are too. Then among all nations and educate as well as to plant an unrooted civilization and a brotherhood of man and sisterhood of woman. In God's name, we request this of the chairman of the Executive Committee of the Equal Rights' Association of the South. Hon. C. Wm. Hinds, of Missouri, will take this appeal to the nations mentioned. Philip Rawla of Japan. Office at present of the Equal Rights Association, located at 107 Rikers Island, Washington. W. W. Moresa Rawa, Montana, Polyteplak and others of the International Human Association of Europe, Asia and Africa. The undersigned will comply with your request by writing and having printed the following appeal in company with the Woman's International League. The first one was made at Cloverland, O., which will state time and date, and the name will then be secondly to the first. Then the latter to the dark rulers will follow the second.

TAFT PRAISES TRUST DECISION Defies Nebraska and Others to Show Where Judicial Interpretation Has Taken Sting Out of Sherman Act. President Taft, at lunchroom with the board of commerce in Detroit, Mich., made the first of what may be termed the political speeches of his six weeks' tour of the country. He took up the "trusts" and clearly outlined his views concerning them. He defended with vigor the decisions of the United States supreme court in the Standard Oil and tobacco trust cases, and there was a distict campaign note in Mr. Taft's challenge to his ancient political ogram, William Jennings Bryan, to point to the plight of trade he would condemn which would not be condemned within the definition of the statute as laid down by Chief Justice White. Mr. Taft added rather significantly that persons who do not understand the decisions and really do not understand the law have had a great deal) to say about them. It was not fair to the court, he declared, to say that he had read the word "reasonable" into the anti-trust statute. The president, in his speech on "Trusts," wasted no time in plunging into the heart of his talk. He made it plain at the outset that he had no patience with critics of the supreme court, and particularly with those who disapproved the decisions in the Standard Oil and American Tobacco cases. He said that nothing was further from the truth than was the bollot that the Norman man had been unassisted by of the three decisions. On the contrary, he insisted, the supreme court had defined by its judicial constructions certain broad and indefinite expressions which had tended to make the act inoperative. He said: "It has required twenty years of litigation to make the statute clear. But now it is clear." Baying that he would not attempt to give a lawyer-like interposition to the decision, the president declared that he thought he was safe in saying that the court had found that any contract in restraint of trade, trade for the purpose of excluding competition, controlling prices or maintaining a monopoly, was in violation of the act. Mr. Taft then challenged "Mr. Bryant or any of the other, publicists and jurists who have been denouncing this opinion," to tell the public just what particular contract or combination he would condemn that this definition did not cover. Concerning the mutually discussed introduction of the word "reasonable" into the act the president declared that the supreme court had simply given a reasonable construction to the statute and had eliminated from the penalties, of its enforcement those arguments of lawful contracts which are made for an entirely different purpose from that of controlling prices or maintaining a monopoly." He asserted that this had in no wise weakened the act, but rather had tended to strengthen it. The president quoted from his message of Jan. 7, 1910, to congress when he made his distinction between the "good and bad trusts, saying that, from fear alone, cannot with the decision of the court, it is in exact record with it. Mr. Taft then took up the question of safeguarding investors who have backed combinations found to be at variance with the Sherman act provision, and declared that here again the wisdom of the court was manifest in both the Standard Oil and the American Tobacco companies to reorganize without jeopardizing the interests of investors. It entirely opposed to an amendment of the antitrust law," said the president. "It is now a valuable government asset and instrument. Tested and brought into beneficial use by twenty years of litigation and construction by the highest court, why should we imperil its usefulness by experiments?" The outcry for amendments, following the supreme court's decision, the president said, had resulted in proposals prepared without a real understanding of the law, and he added that the purpose of promoting "unreasonable" and unreasoning discontent, it certainly ought not to be considered seriously.

All Business Prrompt Attended To. Aviator Whose Flight to Pacific Was Halted by Fall. 10 Copyright by American Press Association SHOE MACHINERY CO. INDICTED AS TRUST Two indictments were returned by the federal grand jury in Boston against five officials and a large stockholder of the United Shoe Machinery company. The indictments alleged conspiracy in restraint of trade under the Sherman act. Officials indicted are Sidney W. Winnow, of Orleana's president; Edward P. Hurd, of Newton, vice president, assistant treasurer, director and member of the executive committee; George W. Brown, of Newton, vice president, member of the executive committee and director; William Barbour, of New York, vice president, member of the executive committee and director, and Elmer P. Howe, of Boston, counsel, member of the executive committee and director. The penalty provided is a fine of one year, one year, or both. The six defendants did not appear, but probably will plead within the next ten days. According to William S. Groge, of the department of justice, the indictments charge that the six defendants have been working through the United Shoe Manufacturing company in a way to make them criminally liable under the Sherman act. The second indictment alleges that the carrying on of the business under the merger of three old shoe machinery manufacturing companies was engaging in a combination in routal of trade, having "a pernicious effect upon the puffile". GIRLS FAKE BURGLARY Break Window to Give Appearance of Reality After Theft. Officer Green, of the state constab lary, found a bag containing $60 hilt in a bed of lilies in the Concatoc creek, just south of Lancaster, Pa. A sensational story, told by William Benedict, aged fourteen years, whose wife, the tollgate on the New Danville turpins, near where it was secreted, led to the finding of the money. One night last week, during the absence of her grandparents, Miss Benedict fired a pistol, and when neighbors came, declared a thief had entered the tollhouse and stolen the bag of money. Under examination the girl broke down and conceived that she and Mary Hammond, aged fifteen years, had "faked" the burglary, cutting a shutter and smashing a window to give it the appearance of reality. She said that her lover, Robert Dusinger, aged twenty, had threatened to kill both girls if they did not take the money and concern it in the lily-pad. The man, a midmanemocrat unhappy has also been preferred against Dusinger. Lose Control of Machina in Flight at Dawitty in.

(Allen's National News Bureau) Last Monday evening the auditorium of the Y. M. C. A. was crowded with a large and representative gathering, who attended the big educational rally and concert held in the interest of the Walker Baptist College, at Augusta, Georgia, of which Rev. Dr. C. T. Walker, the noted Negro clergyman, is president. The meeting, which is a series of meetings being held in the North in the interest of the school, was one of the most successful ever held in the interest of the school. The large crowd testified to the interest of the school in the hearts of the people of the Metropolis, and showed great conscientiousness, the heart of the things uplifting and enobling. A feature of the meeting was the thrilling addresses of President Walker and Colonel R. C. Simons, the retiring editor of the New York Age, who made a plea for Negro education in the South. Dr. Walker told of the growth of the college and its great need in the center of the black belt of the great State of Georgia. He told of the school's present need, and said larger and better work could be accomplished if a new building could be erected. The other features of the meeting consisted of musical and literary numbers from New York's noted talent. Cleveland G. Allon, of Allen's National News Bureau, who was the press agent of the meeting, presided, and called on Rev. J. H. Ellison, financial agent of the school, to make a statement about the financial condition of the school. Mr. Ellison said that he had met with great success along financial lines. Others who took part were Miss Irene J. Moorman the noted solist; Miss Banthea Boisden, who recited from Dunbar; Miss Edwards, the promising young prima donna; Jas, D. Holt, New York's popular, toner, Alonzo Smith, the boy baritone; Mime, Fannie D. E. Knight, the popular dramatic reader. The addresses of Dr. Walker and Colonel Simmons closed, the successful meeting, which was the largest held in the interest of the school. DRILLIANT SERVICES AT Y. M. C. A. Last Sunday afternoon a large gathering of young men crowded the auditorium of the association and heard inspiring addresses from representative members of the race. Secretary Bell presided and conducted the preliminary exercises, which consisted of Scripture reading by H. O. Churemont, of the Springfield Training School, and prayer by W. C. Chance, of Parmaleco, N. C. Mr. Bell then asked for the names of those present for the first time, and a large number of young men, mostly from the South, arose and said they were present for the first time. The principal address was delivered by Rev. Braddum of Illinois. The address of Dr. Braddum was a direct one to young men, in which he urged them to be manly and strive for the best things in life. Others who spoke were H. O. Concrecourt; who told of the great good the Y. M. C. A. had done in the 60 years of its existence. W. C. Chance spoke of Negro education in North Carolina, and Prof. H. A. Bleach, principal of the Selden Normal and Industrial School at Brunswick, Ga., told about the work of the school in Georgia. The association is getting down to its fall activities. Several interesting new features have been planned this year for the comfort of the association members and friends. NEW YORK TRUE REFORMERS JUBILANT. The loyal members of the True Reformers residing in the Metropolis are jubilant over the success, of the news that comes from headquarters that the G. U. O. T. R. is getting into shape. The members here hope and feel that the organization will again come into its own and exert its old-time influence and power in the race. The New York division of the Order, which recently was granted a new charter to continue to do business in New York, in meeting with considerable success, and a large number of new members have come in. J. H. Morgan Taylor, former chief of the New York Division and a loyal True Reformer, was loud in his praise of the new officers recently elected. Speaking of the new president, Mr. Taylor said: "I congratulate the G. U. O. T. R. on electing Mr. Griffin as president. I know him personally, and regard him as an honest, capable man. Much success will come to the organisation under the administration of President Griffin." Mr. Taylor is one of the most prominent citizens in the Metropolis and stands high in True Reformar circles. The New York Division of the G. U. O. T. R. in the old days had a strong grip upon the hearts of the people in the Metropolis, and some of the most prominent men and women of the Metropolis were involved in the politics into shape and judging from the present outlook, the New York branch will come back to its old-time power. The general awakening over the country of this powerful and industrious race, organisation, is received with glad hearts among Afro-Americans, a large meeting in the inter est of the New York Division will be held soon. J. H. Morgan Taylor, the former chief of the New York Division, is proud of the future prospects of the organization. LITERARY SOCIETIES ACTIVE. Last Thursday evening at Salem M. E. Church, under the auspices of the Salem Lycoum, an interesting meeting was held by the newspaper men of the city. A large gathering was present and hung an interesting address on journalism and what the Negro press was doing in its aid of race uplift. Representatives residing in New York of the loading Negro journals were present, including the Boston Guardian, Richmond Planet and many other out-of-town papers. Hon. Charles W. Anderson, the noted Negro government official and collector of the port, president of the Negro press, and a remarkable tribute to the Negro press, and said it was 'doing a great part in the solution of our problems.' "The Negro press," said the collector, "is a power in helping us to solve many of our difficult problems." D. E.

Bimmolkajaer presided, and the following program was presented: Recitation, A. C. Bankolfo, violin collection, Stanley Harding; a short address by Eugene K. Jones, of the Inter-Urban Committee, and a solo by Mine. Lula Robinson Jones. NEW YORK TIMES CELEBRATES JTS 60TH ANNIVERSARY. The New York Times, one of the oldest and most influential, of the Metropolitan dailies, and one especially fair and liberal to the Negro's share in the nation's right, embrated its 60th anniversary last Monday with a special anniversary section, telling of the growth of the paper during the 60 years of its existence, as well as articles from noted newspaper men of every section of the country. The great daily has had a remarkable and interesting career, and has played a great part in the nation's growth, and in developing the great Southland by publishing articles of the great material possibilities that lie in the South. Men who stand high in the journalistic profession, as well as in other walks of life, contribute to the anniversary number, and are loud in their praise of the Times as a Metropolitan journal. One page of the anniversary number contains specimens of the Times' growth in its make-up from its beginning in 1851 to the present time. Every phase of the modern journal is discussed, and many interesting hints given in the serIES of articles contributed. The first article in the anniversary number is a summary review of the history of the Times from the day of its beginning in 1851; "Measure of this Newspaper's Growth Since Its Foundation"; "Step in the History of Journalism and a review of the great political battles fought in the last sixty years, by Wm. Barnes, the symposium contains the following: President Taft on Journalism. The Newspaper More of a Personal Voice Than it is Today, by Rollo Ogden, editor Evolving Post: What the dissemination of News Has Done For the Middle West, by Herman Kohlsaet, editor of the Chicago Record-Herald; A View of Newspapers, by President James R.

Stone, manager of the Associated Press, in which a complete history of the Associated Press is given; The Newspaper and the Region Roundabout, by Talcott Williams, editor of the Philadelphia Press. To newspaper men the article is especially attractive and shows the powerful evolution of the modern newspaper. So marvelous has been the growth of the Times until it meet the growing demands upon the paper preparation is being made to move out of its twelfth-story building at 42d street and Broadway, to larger quarters at 89th street. The New York Times building, at 42d street is famous for its large tower, from which a complete view of New York with its tall sky-scrapers can be seen. Around the Times often large crowds gather daily to see and read the Times' electric buildings, with its flash reports of news from every section of the country and world. The Times' editorial, a few weeks ago, in condemnation of the Coates- ville lynching, was one of the strongest utterances. GENERAL NEWS ITEMS. Prof. H. A.

Correspondent ```markdown ``` 1811 by American Press Association Ex-Senator T. H. Carter Dead. Thomas H. Carter, United States senator from Montana until March 4 last, died at his home in Washington. Senator Carter's illness was known only to his family and a very few intimates. It had lasted only a week, but had been alarming from the very first. Members of the family were overcome by the sudden death of Sonator Carter, and owing to the prostration of Mrs. Carter it had not been intended to allow the fact of the death to become public. Senator Carter is survived by his widow, Ellen Galen Carter, and two sons, John G and Hugh Thompson Carter, both students in the art school of Georgetown university. Mrs. Carter and her sons were at the bedside when death came. Mr. Carter had been under the care of a physician for months. He was able to go about, however, and his aliment, a filling of the lungs with clotted blood, did not become acute until about a week ago. Held Police at Bay; Killis Self. Because fellow boarders taunted him that he was stuck up because he washed up in his room instead of in the kitchen of the boarding house at Mount Carmel, Pa., Alex Kaulie, aged twenty-two years, went out, got two revolvers and came back and fired at the boarders. One bullet struck William Mafesakl in the stomach, inflicting a wound that may prove fatal. He then ran to his room and barricaded the doors. The police came, but he fired on them and drove them away. He held his position against all comers for five hours. By this time the entire town was in a state of great excitement. Kaulie fired on everybody who attempted to dialogue him. Finally Sergeant Walter Snyder and Private Hyde, of the state police, stationed at Shamokin, were summoned.—When they driven on the scene Kaulie had just driven back a constable who attempted to fire upon him from an adjoining house. The two policemen managed to get into the house and were going up the steps to the room, when they heard a shpt. Snyder burst open the door of the room, to find Kaulie lying on a couch with a bullet hole in his temple. He had buckled an old sword that he used while in the Hungarian army around his waist and had an extra revolver stuck in the holt. Robbers Make Haul of $315,000. Robbers broke into the branch of the Bank of Montreal at Now Westminster, B. C., and escaped with $316,000 in gold and bills. Three men opted the building by an unprotected rear window and dug through a brick wall into the vault, wrecked the cage door and dynamited the safe. They left $20,000 in gold on the bed where they had plied their foot, and about $80,000 more unmolested in the safe. The bank waitman was on his vacation, and the only person in the building was a Chinese janitor, who was sandbagged before he coud give in alarm, gagged and tied to a chair. He had managed to work loose after the man had gone and reported the robbery. Armed Cossacks Patrol Kiev Streets to Prevent Demonstration by Mobs. Slayer Talks Freely: The Russian premier, M. Stolypin, succumbed to the wounds, which he received when he was shot by Dmitry Bogrov at the municipal theater in Kiev last Thursday night. The patient had appeared to improve until late Saturday, when peritonitis set in. The early examinations made of the wounds inflicted on the premier by Dmitry Bogroff had led to hopes for an early recovery. The development of unfavorable symptoms followed a few hours after the patient had made a most hopeful rally. The rally followed immediately the removal of the bullet by the surgeons in an effort to relieve the premier of the unbearable pain of which he had complained throughout Saturday night, and which had thrown him into a state of depression where death seemed a welcome relief. Several times during Saturday night the premier had broken out involuntarily with a murmured exclamation: "I feel death stalking upon me!" The operation was entirely successful. The bullet had been removed without difficulty by the use of a local anaesthetic, and hopes apparently were justified when the premier experienced a great sense of relief and cheerfully talked with his attendants. He inquired of current events and commented on the appearance of his assailant. "The little fellow was awful pitiful as he came up to me in the theater," said Stolypin. "He was pale and bowed—a sorry figure." The bullet which the doctors extracted was of huge caliber, and proved to have been purchased in Berlin. The head was deformed from striking Stolypin's breast. The cross deflected the course of the bullet and deprived it of much of its penetrating power. One hundred and fifty arrests of lawyers and other acquaintances of Dmitry Bogroff, the man who shot Stolypin, have been made in Kiev. Bogroff talked freely of his past life and furnished the authorities valuable clews. The original confident behavior of the prisoner has given place to despondency, and he is now receiving medical treatment. Among the versions of the circumstances leading up to the crime, and which must be investigated, is the assertion that Bogroff belonged to a new autonomous revolutionary group, the aim of which is to assassinate individual statesmen. In the course of the questioning Bogroff declared that he held M. Stolypin as one of the most permeous men of the state." Another version is that the revolutionaries put Bogroff who, according to the police, had been filling the dual role of revolutionary agent and police spy, in a dilemma where he had to kill Stolypin or be himself killed. Bogroff chose the first alternative. The Hebrews are departing from the city precipitously in fear of anti-Hebrew riot. Cossacks with loaded rifles patrol the streets. Wiley, Cleared by President. The efforts to have Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, the United States' best known pure food expert, ousted from his place as chief of the bureau of chemistry of the department of agriculture have failed utterly. The resignation of Dr. Wiley will not be asked for by President Taft, despite recommendations that it be requested, made by the personnel board of the department and endorsed by Attorney General Wickersham The condition punishment for Dr. Wiley, which Mr Wickersham held to be necessary, will not be met out by the chief executive. The president's opinion, carrying no word of criticism for Dr. Wiley, but many a word of praise, was made public. In the opinion the president admits what has been well known to many persons close to the administration—that there is trouble in the department of agriculture. Speaking of the congressional inquiry into that department, unfinished at last session, and to be taken up again next winter, Mr. Taft says. "The broader issues raised by the investigation which have a much weightier relation than this one to the general efficiency of the department, may require more radical action than the question I have considered and decided." That this statement indicates a curious shake-up in the department next winter, was frosty predicted. There have never been any intimations that Secretary Wilson was disposed to retire, and it is not believed that the president would request him to do so. A general shake-up of affairs in the department, however, could easily be requested by the president and carried through when he returns to Washington in November. Girl Becomes Insane at Funeral. Myrtle Smith, the pretty and youthful sister of the lad who was murdered In an Italian shoemaker's shop last Sunday, the place afterwards being set on fire to hide the crime—went mad at Mount Olivet cemetery, in Washington, when the body of the little victim was being lowered into the grave. She became violently hysterical and tried to jump into the grave on top of the coffin. It required four men to restrain her maniacal strength, and finally it became necessary to blind her hands and feet securely with the strong webbing which should have been used to lower the comf, and physicians in attendance administered opiates. Then the girl was taken to the Washington Insane saylum, where her reason is said to be gone. She lies on a cot not a hundred yards from the cell in which Tony Malline, the "shoemaker by trade." In whose shop little Harry Smith was brutally beaten to death with a steel hammer, is confined on a charge of murder. Physicians at the hospital say that the young woman is in a serious condition and that her reason may never be restored, even if her life is saved. The murder of little Harry Smith was one of the most brutal crimes in the policed history of the national capital. At the inquest which held Malmio for the crime the theory developed that the Italian, who had long been the butt of the mischievous boys of the neighborhood, thought the Smith boy, who stuttered, was trying to mock him and killed the lad in a fit of rage. Farmer Kills Neighbor. Following a series of altercations lasting more than a year, Charles K. Reich, a farmer, was shot at his home in Cumru township, near Reading, Pa., by his neighbor, Lazarus Shonour. The wounded man was taken to a hospital in Reading, where he died shortly after being admitted. Shonour was placed in custody, but was reticent as to the shooting. Both are middle-aged men with families. Reich, the dead man, is the father of nine children. Shonour, when placed in jail, said that he was glad that he had killed him; that he did not regret his crime. The men met in the public road, when Shonour fired into Reich's abdomen, and the latter begged Shonour to desist for the sake of his wife and children, but he finished him by shooting him in the back. Immediately after the shooting District Attorney Schaeffer sent County Detective Merkel and a squad of officers to the scene and they approbended the accused slayer. He calmly explained how he killed his neighbor. Bad blood had existed between the two farmers for several years. Numerous threats were made by Shonour and lawsuits were instituted on several occasions. The culmination was the murder Taft Lenient to Woman. President Taft granted executive clemency to the first woman applicant during his administration. Margaret Blevins, of Ilig Stone Gap, Va., was sentenced to a month's imprisonment and $100 fine for availing internal revenue taxes on whiskey. As she is sixty years old and feeble the president commuted her sentence to the fine AGENTS FOR THE PLANET W. H. White, 501 W. Leigh Street. Peter Thompson, 422 E. Marshall Street. R. B.

At least, he will never do so on what he shows about fighting now, and need not be considered until he has much more ability and experience. In Madison Square Garden tonight Morris received a terrific beating in four rounds from Jim Flynn, of Pueblo, Col., and had it not been for Morris's wonderful pluck there is no doubt that he would have been put to sleep. Although Morris was nearly six inches taller and weighed 50 pounds more he was practically shagged. Both of his eyes were closed, his nose was broken, his lips were slashed and he received so many blows on the right side of the head that it swelled to the size of a small pumpkin KNOWS. LITTLE OF THE GAME From the moment the men put up their hands it was clear that Morris knew nothing of the art of self-defense. He was just a big, strong writing fellow who thought he could beat his rivals with superior weight and harder punches. But when Flynn began rushing him, at the same time punching his body with short hooks and uppercutting him in the face with drives Morris lost his bearings and presented a sorry spectacle. He received smashes in the face of a fairly blind him and swings on the heels, but the heels yet Flynn could not score. knockout. Morris' blows soon became weak and ineffective. He punched Flynn whenever he had the chance, but the necessary steam was lacking and barring a swollen left onto the Pablo man escaped without serious brushes. TAKES HIS BEATING GAMELY Few pugilists of modern times ever have taken such a hammering as did Morris. As the light progressed his case was hopeless, yet he never showed any indication of fear. He stood up before an侵丧 bombardment with such courage that old-time ring followers cried out in admiration. He was unable to block or sidestep Flynn's wallops, and the only protection he could provide for himself was by throwing his weight upon his opponent when clinched Morris bled profusely, and was in such distress in the last few rounds that tingles spectators begged him to quit. But the big engineer did not know the meaning of that word and stood the gait to the end Flynn therefore won because he inflicted fearful punishment without a let-up. He carried off the honors in six of the rounds. Morris had the better of the third and fourth when he rallied, while the second and seventh were even up. MORRIS DWARFS HIS OPPONENT Morris had as his chief advisers Con Riley his trainer, and Joe Jeannette, his sparring partner, with Al Heniedict and Ray Simon. behind Flynn were Abe Attell, Danny Goodman, Al Williams, Joe Branlman, and Mike Carroll. Morris said that he welged 222 pounds but he looked bigger. He towered over and dwarfed Flynn, whose weight was given as 175 nearly 50 pounds less. Preliminary events were concluded at 10 30, and a few minutes later the big men appeared. Morris coming first. It was announced that they would do 50 pounds straight rule with Charlie White as reference. Al Kaufman and Kid McCoy were among the many who challenged the winner. There was no betting on the result for the reason that nobody cared to ask a dollar in view of Morris' unknown prowess. Flynn's agreement with the club called for a $7,000 guarantee, with the privilege of taking 25 per cent of the gross receipts. Morris, it was stated on good authority, had a contract calling for a $10,000 guarantee, or about 30 per cent of the gate receipts. THE FIGHT BY ROUNDS First Round. Morris missed a left and Flynn, rushing to close quarters was amothered into a clench. He tried to use a free hand, but it was blocked. Flynn broke away and worked back. Morris appercutting him with a right in the face. Flynn stood in close and punched the body with short lefts and rights. Still at close quarters, Flynn ripped punches into the stomach, and with a hook on the mouth he drew first blood. Flynn punched him on the mouth and body. Morris stood away a moment and blew the blood from his nose. Flynn had the round. Second Round—Morris was puffing when he came up. Flynn rushed to close quarters and began driving in heavy body blows. Morris was slow and awkward when he tried to hit, and soon clinched. Flynn slipped and wont down while in the act of flipping, and when he got up Morris tried uppercuts. He landed several times in the bread basket, and Flynn clinched. Flynn then covered up with both hands as Morris drove in short hooks. Morris was fighting hard, but he was wild. He threw his weight on Flynn in several clinches. And when the round ended was closed tight when he sat down. Flynn seemed to be relieved. The round was even. Morris' right eye Third. Nound—hypn-ruished and collected. Fourth. Nound—collected quarters, both landed, short books. and Morris held on in a ollench. He received a left uppercut in the body and almost lost his balance. Flynn toke in with more stomach punches, and Morris olinched. At half-arm work Morris put no great amount of power in his blow, but he drove them in, one after the other, until Flynn was holding. They broke away, and Morris was the aggressor at close range. He pounded the ribs and head; Flynn suddenly hooking a right to the jaw. Morris was doing the work at the god and had the round. MORRIS TAKES THE LEAD Fourth Round - Flynn's left eye was closed when he came up out of his corner. They worked into a clinch and with free hands punched away until they locked. Morris stood off and drove a right to the ear, Flynn crossing him on the neck. Flynn held until broken, then rushed in to receive an uppercut in the mouth. In another clinch Morris put his weight on the Fireman, and with an uppercut in the stomach he made Flynn back to the ropes for another clinch Morris put a left in the stomach and drove his man around the ring before a steady volley of short smashes. Flynn was clutching at the bell, and Morris then had the other eye puffed Morris had the round by a small margin. Fifth Round—Morris' face was a mass of lumps and brushes when he came out and missed a left lead Flynn torn in with short blows to the body and face, and Morris began roughing it, pushing Flynn around and leaning on him in the clinches Flynn worked a free hand into the stomach, but Morris' blows were becoming weaker and his efforts to land were pitiful. He lumbered around blindly, and Flynn swelled his mouth with a couple of smashes Morris too it all gamely, but he could not retaliate. He was half blind and his mouth was swollen so much that he could hardly breathe Flynn's round. Sixth Round—Flynn rushed, and with a left he rushed a great jump over Morris' right eye Flynn torre in with swings for the jaw but missed. Morris received a wallop on the jaw and staggered, but he quickly recovered his balance and met another onslaught. Flynn stood in close, ripping both hands to the body and face and landing a coiling light on the jaw. Morris took the blows without wavering and went into a mix. He tried short-arm punches that had no force, and Flynn with right and left on the jaw, made the big man fall into a clench. Flynn's round FLYNN WILL NOT BE DENIED Seventh Round Morris stuck the belt into the mouth as Flynn tore in, but he could not keep the fragrant Morris received a smush in the face, and the blood poured down his chest. He held in a clench, and then threw Flynn off. He jabbed Flynn in the eye as the latter tore in, but Flynn kept on slugging until Morris clenched. Morris blows were still landing, but he had no force. Still he mixed it with wonderful gameness, and soon had Flynn clenching. In the fight, the军官 and did all the fighting. He drove Flynn to a corner and the latter was overlying no at the hell. The round was even Eighth Round Morris threw a left into the neck and smothered a rush with his great bulk. In a half catch both handed heavy hooks. Flynn dividing the harder blows. At these range Flynn kept hammering away with body blows and smashes in the face. Morris having no defense but always countering with short shots blows. Flynn worked away so persistently at the body that Morris for a moment was befuddled. He rallied and tore in gamely, but Flynn almost put him down with a right on the jaw. Morris elicited but his strength came back quickly and he was mixing it desperately at the bell. Flynn's round Ninth Round - Flynn went in for a knockout if possible. He smashed Morris on the nose with a left for more blood, and both men were covered with it. Morris clinched when another rush game, and Flynn drove a deft into the stomach. Morris rallied and fought his man to a corner, but Morris held back. Morris and Flynn soon stood him off with more hooks in the face in a clinch Flynn hooked left and right to the jaw, and Morris clinched. Morris took a terrific beating, but stood up with wonderful courage until the bell ended the slaughter Flynn's round. · COULD NOT MAKE BIG MAN QUIT Tenth Round. They shook hands, and Flynn run into a clichn. As they broke Morris stabbed Flynn in the eye with a long left, and the latter ran in with short hooks that drew more blood. Flynn stuck close, ripping in blow after until Morris climbed. Still Morris tried to punch his man whenever they were free, but he could do no damage. Flynn rebelled his efforts. He drove in stomach blows and hooks on the jaw until Morris was reeling, but he refused to quit. He was a punching bag and Flynn hammered him mercilessly all the way to the end Flynn had the round and was the winner after a sanguinary encounter. Both men were tired when they took their corners as the crowd gave a cheer. Morris shook hands with Flynn, who then jumped through the ropes and was congratulated by a crowd of fans. Morris was also praised for his superb courage. No decision could be given under the law, but it was Flynn's bout, and by a wide margin. $150.00 ENDOWMENT PAID. Richmond, Va. Sept. 18, 1911.

Grete Green Rest—Mr. Peregrine's Visit to the Transvail—Critical Conditions in the Fatherland—Economic Questions. I have just returned from an extended trip through the Transvaal and Orange Free State colonies, British Buchanan land and Protectorate Rhodesia and Buruotseland. This trip was a semi-official one, and was in response to an invitation from several paramount chiefs to address them on the situation. The word situation as applied to the several questions we are now now a long one and every man (black) who is able of thinking is apprehensive. There is a determination on the part of the white brother, and which he takes no trouble to disguise to seize Naboth's vineyard. LAME EXCUSES. All manner of subterfuges are employed in support of the claim to perpetrate a glaring iniquity, such as were it attempted by the blasted foreigner, a Leopold, a Czar or any other non-English speaking tyrant would excite the holy fury and the righteous indignation of Mr John Bull, his family and all of his relations. It is claimed that the preservation of the power in South Africa can be achieved only by this act of confession and yet the people who have broken the peace for, lo, these many years are the white brethren in the Anglo-Boer war. THOSE TRIBAL WARS It is maintained that the internecine contention and tribal wars of this past which tended to the deformation of the poor black man, can be rendered impossible of repetition only by cutting up the resources And yet there is not (toda) one black tribe in South Africa in con- tention with another tribe, and no rumors anywhere of a misunder- standing and I circulate pretty freely, and am in the confidence of many. BLACK PHILOSOPHER WONDER But, hush some black philosopers have begun to wonder whether after all the game was really worth the candle, whether the white brothers' civilization, his books, his rum and the other indispensable adjuncts to the enlightenment you caused us whether these things have not been used by the philosopers who have spoken so far have decided in the alternative Yea these messings have been too dearly bought AN INCONGRUOUS SHIBBOLETH It is argued then by the cessation of the tribal wars, our decimation has been arrested. In compliance with an inexorable natural and Divine law, we multiply and are mutilated, and you are alarmed, threaten. You have adopted a shibboleth, the meaning whereof expresses your insatiable rapacity the falsehoods which underly your pretensions and reveal your after failure to distinguish between mum et tum. That shibboleth is White South Africa a mutilations feth and an impossible ideal. And the very conception of it exposes you fully in the glure light. Yes, the decimation resulting from as possessed one redeposing qualification as a happy dispatch and no impiring torture and perennial misery. We fought each other as men. We died like men. You would reduce us to outwash. We would prefer to die as men. No, we have enough of it. The above shows briefly what these black philosophers are thinking you, and thinking it loudly. WANTS THE EARTH A part of my mission in my recent tour was to interview the Minister for native affairs at Pretoria on an important matter A gentleman named Wessell, who represents what is known as the Vryburg District in the House of Assembly here, recently put a question to the Minister from his place in the House and that question placed into a nutshell was this "Was the Minister presented to take advantage of the Minister's importance to England to see the Imperial Government and point out the advisability of alternating the land in any native reserve?" Now, think of it, the Imperial Government to be asked to sanction a policy of dnylight robbery? Naturally you wonder what was the Minister's reply. Well, you know the American politician and how little he is in his appreciation of the facts that language was made to conceal the thoughts of man Well, the South African variety, except that he hecks his political polish, can give the Yankee a few points in that accomplishment. There, you have the Minister's reply. He spoke and said nothing, hence the necessity for a thousand mile trip to see him, the particulars of which will be forwarded later. THY GLORY IS DEPARTED Did I hear you say, "Surely the Imperial Parliament would not sanction this?" Well, then, you are not acquainted with your Mr. Bull. Rather shall I say, you know only the John Bull of old. He whose flag did only sweep the seas, but whose arms were ever stretched to succor the weak, protect the oppressed, and with whom no creed no color counted. The Bull of thirty years ago I know, ye, twenty, and even ten years ago. This is but an imitation of him spurious and unreal and over the portals of his house today are emblazoned in characters lioniform invisible, Ichabod. F. E. Z. PEREGRINO. Farmville (Va.) News.
