THE RICHMOND PLANET (After reading the Hymn) By Luelan B. Watkins. 'Abide with me!'—I dare not live alone! Make me Thy temple, Lord! my heart Thy throne! O guide Thou me!—my hands and faltering feet Into the glory of Thy blessings sweet! 'Abide with me!'—Alas! when I would yield To sin and shame, Lord Jesus, be my whild! O hide Thou me!—within Thy saving power! And long me safely through temptation's hour! 'Abide with me!' When I am sore opprest! And know not how to serve Thy purpose best! Decide for me! Life's problems that arise! Ab' let me sense the Truth through all disguise! 'Abide with me!' O' teach me how to live! When I am wronged, Lord, help me to forgive! Preside with me!—and make my dealings just Wherever there's tendered me a charge of trust! 'Abide with me!'—Thy strength Iain would know When 'tis my falling breath is ebbing low! Confide in me! O, Lord, from day to day! Help me to keep Thy One Eternal Way! 'Abide with me!'—Through Death's mysterious vale! There let not pass, my prayers of present fall! Reside with me!—I long at last to sight The dazzling splendors of Thy heavenly light! (Dedicated to Chaplain George W Proleman (Ninth Cavalry) Buried at Last. The man who has been in Funeral Director Wm. Isaac Johnson's morgue since October 3, 1911, was buried by Mr. Johnson's Thursday November 9, 1911. It will be remembered that this body was carried to Mr. Johnson's undertaking establishment from the City Home by Funeral Director R D Brown. It was embalmed. When relatives from Petersburg finally put in appearance they decided that they wanted Funeral Director A D. Price to bury the body, and they gave him a polio for $21.90 to defray the expense of the same. Some say that he refunded to them $1.00. When he sent up to Funeral Director Johnson's place, for the remains there was a charge of just $15 for hauling and embalming. This was not paid and the body was held until the time of burial for that reason. The Mechanics' Savings Bank (Durham, N. C. Reformer) The Mechanica' Savings Bank of Richmond is a conspicuous illustration of the possibilities of banking institutions among colored people. Under the direction of President John Mitchell, Jr., this institution has become to be the most widely advertised of any in this section of our country. The solid sub-structure for this publicity is a total resources of a quarter of a million dollars. This is a notable success under the heavy odds under which all Negro enterprises which reach out into new fields must encounter, but we are of the opinion that any locality with as many as five thousand Negroes who will co-operate with such effort can do the same thing in ten years or less. When the race learns the stern lessons which the restrictive legislation of the country is trying to teach, financial institutions like the Mechanica' Savings Bank will be common, yet enduring, monuments of race, thrift and unity. --- Fifth-Street Baptist Church Calla Pastor. A modeling of the members of the Fifth-Street Baptist Church was held last Monday night, and after preliminary work it was decided to call a pastor. Rev. S. G. Manuel, D. D. of New Albany, Indiana, was nominated and elected. The call will be extended to him forthwith and those who are mont envious to secure a competent leader hope to have the matter settled immediately. THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH. The Supreme Court and the Chief Executive Refuse Relief.=H. C. Beattie, Jr. Must Die. While I sympathize very profoundly with the father of H C Beattle, Jr. and would be glad to help him if I could do so with proper regard for the public interests, I cannot, with any consideration for these interests interfere with the due execution of the sentence of the court in the Beattle case. I followed that case during the trial, and, as its horrible facts were developed, regretted that a crime so cruel and malicious should have occurred within the confines of this State. In the decision of every question which was presented to the able and impartial judge who presided at the trial he was careful to give the benefit of every reasonable doubt to the prisoner: his instructions, were as favorable as the counsel for the prisoner could have expected; that he did not err in the admission or exclusion of evidence or in his instructions given the jury is known in the refusal of the Supreme Court of Appeals to grant a writ of error.

"I do not think the affidavit of Paul Beattie, printed in the papers, or any other evidence or consideration brought to my attention, sufficient for that purpose.

Dear Sir,—having good in a recent issue of the New York Age that the Democrats had put out of office thirty-three Negroes, with the inference that white men had been given their places, I immediately wrote to Congressman James T. Lloyd, chairman of the Committee on Patronage of the Democratic Party of the House of Representatives for information on the subject, and received the enclosed reply, which I should like to have you publish in the next issue of your paper making your readers the question of how many Negroes have been dismissed from the Federal service by President Taff and their places given to white men? And with best wishes for your health and the continued success of your great journal. I am yours truly ALEXANDER WALTERS 205 W. 134th Street New York City Roy Alexander Walters New York, N.C. My Dear Sir, I am in receipt of your favor of the 6th instant enclosing a communication from the New York Age. The statement made that article is untrue. At the beginning of the session we reduced the number of employees of the House about seventy five. It is true that a few of the positions were hell by colored men but the reductions were made without regard to the color of the individuals holding the place. In fact even offices held by white men were abolished to every one filled by a colored man. You will see therefore that there is no justification for the statement that Negroes were discussed that their places might be filled by white men nor that there was any discrimination against men of other color. It is true that a position known as Assistant Stenographer to Committees," which had been in existence a number of years, was abolished. It happened that this place was filled by a colored man. Mr Johnson, who while he had rendered service to the Speaker, had never performed any duties with the regular stenographic force. I will say that there are a number of Negroes holding places here now, and so far as I have information in no instance has a Negro been displaced by a white man. It is the purpose of the Democrats to treat the Negro faith and to discriminate against no one, and one thing is sure—that the Democrats have as much concern for the welfare of the colored people as have the Republicans—in fact, as a rule, when a colored man wants a favor from a white man he goes to a Democrat to get it.

Merlweather, resigned. The Assault on Booker Washington (Evening Star November 11) The decision of the court in New York settling free the assailant of Dr Booker T Washington the foremost negro in the world, has caused the entire race to put on sackcloth and shoes. That this illustrious American the blamelessness of whose life embodies the Christ-like spirit of meekness, humility and forgiveness of spirit, should be stricken down with impunity fills the just and righteous mind with indignation for the assailant and infinite ploy for the victim. President Taft in his calm, judicial, patriotic spirit, proclaims that PHARMACIST WILLI Appointed Grand Worthy Master W. R. Griffin to succeed. he reverences the process and personnel of the courts. Would to God that the courts were so true to their function that every American could share in this lofty sentiment. No negro in America feels that he can get justice in any court where the true feeling is involved. Even the President of the United States will, I am sure forgive the negro for not sharing his feeling of reverence for courts and judges whose august personality is so evailed that they must not be called into account for deeds done on the bench. I take it for granted that every reasonable man will regard the allegation that the conduct of Mr. Washington was provocative of the assault in absurd in the last degree. That a man who for well nigh a generation has gone in and out among the American people, every feature of whose conduct has been under the white light of public observation, and who for so long has stood the test as being without moral spot or blemish, should, of a night, the transformed into an insane libertine is too impossible to be entertained for a moment: No candid-minded American believes that Booker T. Washington addressed any woman on the streets of New York in terms of lustful demeanor. That he was peeking through a keyhole in a cheap apart- --- ment house with lascivious intent is so inherently silly that it would not even be repeated against any other American of like established character and renown. The fact that Dr. Washington fitted to prove the charge against hisignant to the satisfaction of the court before whom it was tried ought not to reflect upon his honor or prejudice his reputation. The fact that one judge out of three held the assentant to be worthy of punishment robs the decision of judicial conclusiveness. Dr. Washington was not on trial before that court nor should he be before the American people. Righteousness of practice, precept and principle is the negro's only hope. This is indeed the only salvation of the weak among the strong. Dr. Washington has preached and LIAM H. SMITH. Treasurer by Grand Worthy ucceed Dr. John E. Merlweather. exemplified this in his life. That he should be striken by lawless hands declared innocent by law is an alleged transgressor of the gospel upon which hinges the miolation of his life and the salvation of his race is to me the most tragic occurrence in our annals since the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. And yet I feel sure that the high-minded American people will abate no whit of their respect, support and admiration for this gentle spirited, purposely man because of the humiliation which even a blameless life may not enable the most illustrious negro to escape.

Copyright, 1892, by American Press Association. TWO Private Mark Malone, U. B. A., sent a spy to Chattanooga by General Thomas, is saved from guerrillas by Bouri Black. A spy from a countryman, Mark arrives for Chattanooga by Bouri Black. Mark is to send Bouri her red bandkerchief if in peril. Mark and Jake are given shelter by Laura Pain and her mother Laura suspects Mark is a Union soldier in disguise. He contends that he is Laura is a spy she prevents her lover, Captain Cameron Hugh H. C. B., from detailing Mark. Mark learns that big Confederate army is massing at Chattanooga and planning a northward dash. He attempts to escape from Chattanooga. He carries Jake in safety past the police, unexpectedly meets a band of Confederate He and Jake are then taken prisoner. Mark is imprisoned as a spy Jake sends Bouri bandkerchief to her by a negro Mark defended by Fitz Hugh, is sentenced to death. Bouri receives her handkerchief and disguises a coined girl, goes to Mark a rescué. Bid becomes a servant in the jail. Bourt and Mara exchange clothing and with a blackened face Mark passes the guard Wendell hounds follow him. He takes her to Reaching the Fire House, Laura conceals him and gives him food and new clothing. She upraises him for seeking her protection. And Baker are sent home by the Confederate general marshal Mark poses as Professor Robert of South Carolina in the Palm House. Robert Daniels accepts to Chatantouga for further military information. Captain Pitt hugh catches unexpectedly captures Mark. Laura insists that Fita Hugh permit Mark to leave. He does so and their engagement starts. Laura and her mother start for New York. M. remained Brave City at St. George. He did not dare to go through the place so no skirted it and once above it rode along the mountain plateau over a road leading directly north. He was now familiar with the country. Arriving at a place called Johnstone's, he struck off to the right to Purdons, where two roads join leading from there to Altamont. Mark struck the main stem a few hundred yards from the junction. As he rode up a slight rise on to the road he cast his eye to the right. There, standing at the fork, was a Confederate cavalry redette. He saw Mark as soon as Mark saw him. Shouting to the rest of the picket post, he dashed forward. "Now for it, Madger." The animal knew by his tone that there was work to be done and a tougher job had to be done since mud F. THERE WAS A WRINTLING OF BULLETS BY THE EARS night she began the race with vigor. On sped the Union soldier, followed at a few hundred yards' distance by the Confederate, and half a mile behind by several others of the picket post. Mark was within range, but his pursuers did not care to draw rein in order to fire, doubtless fearing that they should fall to bring him down by the bullet he would escape. Mudge did nobly, and had she not been riding up a mountain side for three or four hours would have easily distanced her pursuers. As it was, the man who followed that was galing rapidly. Mark know that he must either dispose of this fellow or be taken. Coming to a alight bond in the road, he rode a hundred yards beyond to a place where his pursuer must and deny appear around the trees. Retaining in his horse, he faced about and stood still with his carbine at an alm. As soon as the man appeared Mark fired. The Confederate fell from his saddle, and his horse made off into the woods. Mark turned and was soon again flying forward. He judged that he could not be very far from the Union plight between him and Altamont. Looking ahead he saw a horseman standing in the road. Whether he was in town or Confederate he did not know, but there was no way to escape the remainder of his pursuers except in keeping right on and trusting to moving a friend. As he rode on he noticed that the horseman wore a forge cap. This looked well, for the Confederates nearly always wore hats. Then he could see that the man's body had a dark blue. It must be blue. At last he came near enough to diacern gey low facing. There was a whistling of bullets by his car; he turned his head and saw that his pursuers had halted. They had evidently seen the Union picket and fired a farewell volley at the fuftive. Private Mark Malone was within the Union lines, his mission was ended. Mark was taken to the officer in command at Alamout. On the way from the picket line he was informed that the piece was occupied by McCook's division. When he reached headquarters he made himself and imposition known and in a few minutes a cipher telegram was on its way to General Thomas at McMinnville. Bragg at Pompany yesterday with no fear except a few cavalry. Cheatham at a brief refiring now. The main army gone by Chattanooga on the right result to Knoxville. PRIVATE MARK MALONE Ten minutes later the spy was sound asleep on a camp cot in a tent before coming to one of the staff. Mark bad had no sleep for twenty eight hours, and for much of that time he believed that he would be reaked and hanged. Now he slept a deep sleep. Hour after hour went by and though huges called and drums rattled he numbered on. He dreamed that he was at Chattanooga. He was standing on the scaffold. Soldiers surrounded him. The noise was adjusted about his neck. He heard the sound of the ax as it cut the rope. He swoke with a cry. Laura Fain—no Laura Maynard—ht wife was standing beside him She sank down by the cot, and in a moment they were in each other arms. Neither spoke. Neither wished to do anything, but leave tears—tears of an awake in an happiness to do on silently. For a time Laura saw in Mark a face only a reflection of her own happiness. He was feasting his eyes upon her passing his fingers through her dark hair or smoothing it back with her white hand he covered her face with kisses. Suddenly a thought seemed to come between her and him. "What is it, darling?" she asked and loosely. "I was thinking"—said Mark. "I do I will not think of that." "Tell me." "I was wondering—laura, did you give him?" Laura cast down her eyes. "Love?" Was it love? She asked the question of herself. "It was a summer breeze, while this—" Is a tempest? Drawing her to him, before imprinting a kiss Mark added to her smile. A wild west wind." "You are thinking of your Shelley," she said. "I shall love him too, now, since it was he who betrayed you to me." "And I shall love him the more be cause he betrayed me—and made me." He did not finish. He was thinking of the morning in the garret when in her impersonal way she had claimed that saving his life had made her its owner. She remembered it too, and smiling finished for him: "And made you my slave. But who made me your lyre even as the forest is' to the west wind?" Her careless prevented a reply for a time. When there was a pause Mark exclaimed wondering: "Oh, woman, why must you so often deny to the worthy that which you may give in such abundance to one whose only recommendation is an ability to catch your fancy?" Again there came into his face the expression of a thought which seemed for the moment to carry him away from her "What is it now?" she queried anxiously Mark smiled "You will laugh at me when I tell you" "Then you must be laughed at" "When you must be laughed at," "I was wondering if, when I get back to headquarters, the general will want me to go right away on another mission." Her arms were about him. She drew a little away and fixed her black eyes upon him. They alone like those of some savage but beautiful animals about to be bereft of her young. "If you go again," she said fiercely: "into the presence of such a death I will go with you." Mark made no reply, except to throw his arms about her neck and draw her to him again. Her fereness was with him her chief charm. Then he made an effort to rise. "Stay where you are," she said in the same imperious tone in which she had given the order once before when he threatened to leave the garret; "you shall be there till you promise that you will be a spy no more." "Let me up," cried Mark, smiling at her earnestness. "Come, sweetheart," he said pleadingly, "let me get up, and I'll say with hotspur to his Kate, 'When I'm on horseback I'll swear I love thee indulently.'" Mark was on his back, his arms pinoned. He was powerless. He was surprised at Laura's strength. "I promise." "Never?" "I promise." "Why so I know I shall be dying to go again in a week." "Then you shall he there till the war is over." "But I thought you told me once that if you were a man you would be an have been." "So I would. And you being a man might continue to be so were you." husband of any, other woman; but minga, never." Mark looked into her eyes and knew that his career in the secret service had ended. The arrival of Laura the night before at the farmhouse where her mother had stopped, and awaited her coming anxiously, their resumption of their journey the next day, during which Laura confessed all to her mother, their safe arrival within the Union lines, the finding, Mark at headquarters, may be passed over in a few short phrases. Mark's meeting with his mother-in-law was, to say the least, embarrassing. Mrs. Pain received him with the same dignity that had characterized her throughout, but without her former cordiality. As yet she knew nothing about his connections, and she delimated to ask. But Mark had satisfied Laura, and the information she transmitted to her mother was in a measure multiflying. That afternoon the party that had ridden into Anderson the day before rode out of Altamont in the direction of McMinville. To all outward appearance the situation was the same, but really how different? Yesterday Mark was in imminent danger while Laura was in a state of terror. Then they rode with scarcely a word how language was inadequate to convey all they wished to express. In the evening the party drew up before General Thomas' sent at McMinville. Mark went inside. "General," he said, "you received my telegram?" "I did." "Did you not received the information before?" "If we had, why should we be here?" There was a brief pause. "I have brought something besides information general. May I introduce a party waiting outside?" Mark went out and brought in Laura and her mother "General, permit me to introduce my wife." The general looked at the blushing Laurin then at her mother, then at Mark, in undisguised astonishment. "I thought you had been on a scout," he said. "I have." "And courted and wed at the same time?" "Yes, general." "Be sotted, ladies. Now explain all this." Mark gave an outline of his adventures the listener's eyes opening wider as he proceeded. When the recital was finished the general called out: "Orderly!" In a twinkling a man was standing in the rent waiting an order. "Send for Chaplain Gadsden." "Yes, sir." "I am a trifle uncertain about that wedding," remarked the general. "I think wed better have it done according to the regulations." All smiled save Mrs Fain, who maintained a rigid and dignified silence. tafured a rigid and dignified alliance. While they were waiting for the chaplain the general wrote a telegram to Mr. Fain, at Nashville, announcing the arrival of his wife and daughter. He did not mention the no-in-law. The chaplain came, and the bride and groom were wed again—tbls time with ample witnesses, for the whole staff had been ordered to "report in person at headquarters to witness marriage ceremony"." The general gave the bride away, and after the benediction, offering his arm to Mrs. Fain, led the way to another tent where a collation of foraged vines—foraged unbeknown to the general, and consisting principally of cold chicken—was served. While the party were refreshing themselves, word was received from Nashville that Mr. Fain was out of danger and impatiently awaiting his wife and daughter. After communicating this pleasant bit of information, the general, turning to Mark, said: "I shall need you hereafter on any staff I have learned from your colonel that there is a vacant lieutenant for you in your regiment, and I will issue an order detaining you for duty with me. But this rank need be only temporary. The army is about to be divided into army corps, and my troops will constitute one of them. Under the recent law fixing the staff of corps commanders I shall nominate you for inspector general, with rank of lieutenant colonel, to be appointed by the president." For the first time since she had been apprised of the fact that her daughter was a wife Mrs. Fain looked happy. "General," said Mark. "while I appreciate the honour you so kindly bowtow upon me, I would prefer, were it pot for my wife, to remain in the secret service. She certainly deserves the distinction you offer, and I accept it for her. I rejoice at the prospect of being near you, and shall not be averse, now, since I have so much to live for, to a service not connected with a constant reminder of hmp rope." At this juncture an aid-drop entered and handed the general a telegram. He cast his eye over it and said: "The ball is opened. Nelson is fighting the advance of Bragg's army at Richmond, Kentucky."

As bitter a campaign as Massachusetts has seen in a decade closed with the reelection of Governor Engle N. Foss, the Democratic candidate. So close was the vote that the actual count was not within eight until nearly midnight. The returns showed a Democratic loss about 5 percent and a Republican margin of gain of a little more than 4 percent, indicating a plurality for Foss in 1990 although the huns K churned out. From a most point of view the result may not unfairly be taken to mean that a majority of Massachusetts voters are no content to wait with President Tefft for the report of the team board on the textile schedules. The campaign has been largely fought on the issue although local topics have taken topics throughout on both sides. The fact that Governor Folsom lost hearts in the cities 6,000 in Boston, 1,000 in Lyme 1,000 in Fall River 500 in Tampa city is ascribed to the battle in certain quarters that his artis have not squirmed with his promises on social matters. GENERAL ASSASSINATED Manchu Soldiers Murder Army Officer Who Was Deposed. Pekin Nov 8 General Wu, who was educated in Japan and was beheaded to be a sympathizer with the revolutionary movement, has been assassinated at Shih Kla Kwang. Thirty Manchu soldiers rushed into the tent where he was sleeping and murdered the general, who had been deposed and placed under arrest. General Wu had secretly gone over to the revolutionists and was betraying the Manchu. The assassination of General Wu was followed by fighting between the Manchu and Chinese troops. Several officers and men on both sides were killed. COURT' DRASTIC ACTION Orders U. S. Marshal to Setze Books in McNamara Case. Indianapolis, Ind, Nov 8 - When Judge A. I.

Elected to Congress to Succeed the Late Henry Loudenalager. Trenton, N. J., Nov. 4.—Election returns from different parts of the state were brimful of surprises. Both democrata and Republicans claim control of the senate, which seems likely to stand 11 to 10 is/avon of the one side or the other. The completion of the house, whiew was Democrat last year, depended entirely upon the results in Kansas county, neither side having elicited sufficient members in control it with out the twelve men from Kansas. William J. Browning, of Camden, for many years Republican clerk of the house of representatives, was elected to congress to succeed the late Henry C. Loudonslager, Mr. Browning defeated ex-Senator Thomas M. Forcell, the Democratic candidate, by a greatly reduced majority from what they gave in this district. Of the six counties in which senators were elected the Republicans won in each; William T. Read, in Camden, and William W. Smallley, in Somerset Camden and Somerset had been Republican and Easley Democrat 1c. The Democrats won the senate right in Salem, which elected Rev. J. Warren Davis, and Warren where Mr. vin A Pearson was successful. Glenn center was claimed in the senate light by both parties, the result being close that neither candidate bid nor parently obtained more than a majority of 200. Late indications were that Senator George F. Gaurt, Rep had been re-elected John W. Sloan the Democratic leader of the senate from Monmouth, was elected over Clarence E. Horrick The Democrat swept the entire county, electing their assembly member ticket, consisting of Elmer H Geran, sponsor of the new election law, and Leon R Taylor For the first time in many years a Democratic mayor was elected in Ashbury Park The Republicans made a clean sweep in Atlantic county, where Carlton Godfrey and Mergen L. Richardson were elected to the assembly. Borgen county, which was Democratic last year, was reported to have swung back into the Republican ranks by the election of William B. Ogden, Frank M. Stevens and Van Vorst Wells to the assembly. 'WOMAN KILLED BY FALL Mrs. James Havemeyer Plunge From Window of Apartment. New York, Nov 8 — Mrs. James Havemeyer, a daughter of William Fredrick Havemeyer, three times mayor of New York, fell from the window of her apartments at 401 West End avenue and was instantly killed. Mrs. Havemeyer, who had been an invalid, had been left alone by her nurse, her son, John Craig Havemeyer, said that he thought his mother fell out of the window, which had a low sill. For more than fifteen years, Mrs. Havemeyer, who was sixty-five years old, had been confined to her room in charge of a nurse, suffering from a nervous trouble. CLOSE IN MARYLAND Both Parties Claim Election For Gov- eror. Ballimore, Md. Not. 8.—Both par ties claim the election of their respective state tickets. Owing to the great number of names on the ballot for local as well as state offices and judges of the courts the count is slow. The Indian flots are that the result on the state ticket will be close. Chasman Van Dulver, of the state Democratic committee, claims the election of Gorman as governor in 5000 plurality. Chasman Banns, of the Republican committee, says returns resolved as headquarters show the election of the Republican state ticket headed by Phillips Lee Goldsbrough. Washington county, including Horsburgh gives 500 estimated majority for Goldsbrough Calvert, St. Mary's, Charles and Allogeneh counties go Republican. The Democrats are holding up well on the Eastern Shore. Under the William ballot law hundreds of negroes in the dark counties were distranchised because of inability to intelligently mark the intricate ballots. But parties are claiming Baltimore city, with the chances slightly in favor of the Democrats. Baltimore county and Georh, as well as Hartford, are Democratic. German carried Howard, his own county, by a safe majority. The Democrats are confident of controlling the legislature. Voted and Dropped Dead. Albany, N. Y., Nov. 8.—Watervillet's election was marked by the sudden death of John O'Brien, sixty years of age. He had voted in the First ward and turned to leave the polling place, when he sank to the ground and expired before a doctor could be summoned. Kills Self in Louisville Voting Place. Louisville, KY. Nov. 5.—When the voters of the Seventeenth precinct of the Ninth ward went to their voting place, at 122 Righth街 street, they found that Henry Kimbel had just commit ted autopsies in the room that was to be used as the polls. The voting player was moved to another house. Kembal shot himself through the heart. SATURDAY . . . . . NOV. 18, 1911 ELEMENTS OF THE POPULATION OF THE UNITED STATES Washington, D. C., Nov. 18, 1911. The Director of the Census issued today a preliminary statement of the population of continental United States, distributed according to its elements of race, nativity, and parentage, as shown by the returns of the Thirteenth Decennial Census, taken as of April 15, 1910. The figures for white and negro population have previously been made public. The present statement distributes the white population with respect to native or foreign birth, and for the native white, distinguish those having native-born parents from those having foreign-born parents. The statistics were prepared under the supervision of Mr. Wm C Hunt, chief statistical for population in the Bureau of the Census and are subject to later revision. The white population, taken as a whole, has constituted at each census a slightly larger percentage of the total population, with a corresponding decrease in the percentage for the negro population, at each succeeding Federal census since and including that of 1880. The number and proportion of the total population for each of the elements of the white population, as well as for the total negro population and the total other colored population (Indians, and Chinese, Japanese, and other Asiatics), are shown for the same censuses in Table No. 1. NATIVE WHITE AND FOREIGN DOWN WHITE PROPORTIONS Of the total population of continental United States—that is, excluding Alaska, Porto Rico, and other outlying possessions—in 1910, the native white element, numbering 68,389,104, constituted 74.4 per cent, while the foreign-born white element numbering 12,343,583, constituted 14.5 per cent. The native white proportion in 1910 was almost the same as in 1900, but slightly larger than in 1890 or 1890. The foreign-born white population constituted 13.1 per cent of the total in 1890, rose to 14.5 per cent in 1890, fell to 13.4 per cent in 1900, and was again 14.5 per cent in 1910. These fluctuations were due to the very large immigration from 1890 to 1890 and again from 1900 to 1910. Of the entire white population in 1910, namely, 81,732,687, the foreign-born whites constituted 16.3 per cent, as compared with 15.3 per cent in 1900, 16.6 per cent in 1890, and 15.1 per cent in 1880. For the last three Federal censuses the native white population has been further subdivided with respect to parentage. Those classed as having native parents are persons with both parents native, those having one or both parents foreign born are classed as of foreign parentage. Table No. 1 shows that in 1910 the native white population having both parents native numbered 49,488,441, while those having one or both parents foreign born numbered 18,900,663, or 53.8 and 20.6 per cent respectively, of the country at that census. These proportions are practically the same as those shown by the census of 1900, but as compared with 1890, there has been a slight decrease—from 54.7 to 53.8 per cent—in the proportion of native white persons of native parentage, and a considerable increase—from 18.3 to 20.6 per cent—in the proportion of native white persons of foreign parentage. The latter class constituted 27.6 per cent of the total native white population in both 1910 and in 1900 as compared with 25 per cent in 1890 * DECENNIAL INCREASE IN THE MAIN ELEMENTS Table No. 2 shows the decennial increase in each of the main elements of the population of continental United States since 1880. In figuring the increase from 1880 to 1890 the population (325,464) specially enumerated in Indian Territory and on Indian reservations in 1890 is excluded, as the corresponding population for 1880 was not enumerated. It should be borne in mind that, except for the negro population, which is not appreciably affected by immigration, none of these percentages of increase represent natural increase from excess of births over deaths. Thus the native white persons of native parentage for 1910 include not merely the children born since 1900 as the offspring of the class of native white of native parents, but also as the offspring of the class of the native white persons of foreign parentage. THE NATURAL RATE OF INCREASE. Since 1900 the white population as a whole, as shown by a preliminary statement issued recently by the Census Bureau, has increased 22.3 per cent, as compared with an increase in the negro population of 11.3 per cent, the excess in the percentage of increase for the whites being due in part, as then explained, to the large immigration of foreign-born whites during the decade. It was also estimated in the same statement that the increase in the white population, apart from immigration, would have been not quite 15 per cent, representing approximately, though not precisely, the natural rate of increase. It was further stated that the apparently very marked falling off in the percentage of increase of the negro population during the decade 1900-1910, as compared with the preceding decade, is possibly due to an undercount of the negroes in 1900. It is not possible to determine the extent to which the increase in each element of the white population is due to natural increase from excess nf, births over deaths, but, in judging the significance of the percentages shown in Table No. 2, consideration should be given to the difference. Between the actual and unadjusted percentages of increase just present for the white population as a whole. GRADUAL DECLINE IN NATIVE WHITE RATE OF INCREASE Disregarding the question as to the source of the increase, Table No. 2 shows that the native white population has increased 20.8 per cent since 1900, as compared with a gain of 33.1 per cent from 1890 to 1900 and of 24.5 per cent from 1880 to 1890; there being a gradual decline in the rate of increase from decade to decade. In the foreign-born white population, on the other hand, there has been an increase of 30.6 per cent since 1900, as compared with a gain of only 12 per cent from 1890 to 1900 and of very nearly 40 per cent (39.1) from 1880 to 1890; these differences arising from the fluctuations in the number of immigrants during the three decades in question. The native whites of native parents and those of foreign-born parents increased at substantially the same rate during the last decade, 1900-1910, but in the preceding decade, 1890-1900, the rates of increase for the two elements differed materially. For the native white element of native parentage, as shown by Table No. 2, the rate of increase from 1900 to 1910 is considerably higher than that from 1890 to 1900 namely, 20.9, as against 18.8 per cent, whereas for the native white element of foreign parentage the rate of increase for the last decade is very much less than that for the preceding decade, or 20.8 as against 36 per cent. These variations in the rate of increase for the two decades are largely the result of the difference in the amount of immigration at different periods, as affecting primarily the number of native white persons reported as having one or both parents foreign born and ultimately the number of native white persons reported as having both parents native born. NEW FIGHT ON VARDAMAN. Jackson, Miss., Nov. 4 Senator-elect Yardman, despite his overwhelming vindication at the hands of the people last August, when he was given a majority in excess of 26,000 over his rivals, Messrs. Percy and Alexander, will -ot be allowed to take his seat in the national Congress without another contest, in which, it is expected, his public acts as Governor will be subjected to a searching and war-reaching scrutiny. This will continue in the nature of civil action against the various funds at his command during his term of office, each suit to be independent of the other. It would appear that those opposing Mr Vardaman through the avenue of proposed civil suits, are not making the smallest effort to conceal their intentifo, as the matter is common property. Those who profess to be in close touch with the movements of those fighting the ex-Governor declare that these actions only await such a moment as legal service can be obtained in Hinds county on the Sonnator-elect, and that then they will be pushed with all possible speed, with the object of disposing of them before the new Legislature convenes in January. The present Legislature is strongly anti-Vardaman, while the incoming body will learn just as much the other way. The statement is also made here that State Accounts are be called before the present Legislature for further examination and report. In which event it is held as not unlikely that some action adverse to the Vardaman interests may be undertaken. From present surface indications, the war against Senator-elect Vardaman apparently has only begun. Should the civil suits go against him it is safe to assume that he would be made the target of still more vigorous action. Right at this time, few in Jackson believe that Senator Percy will surrender his seat in the Senate in January. One of his staunch supporters and political friends said to your correspondent today that he would not do so, but would go back to the investigation and demand a search-in investigation into the correctness of an article attacking him recently published in one of the magazines. In additio to the threatened suits the fight against the ex-Governor will be carried into the United States Senate, in the shape of a scathing political and personal arraignment, setting up many private transactions and specifically declaring that he failed to account for public money. To this end Rev. N. G. Augustus of Durant, Holmes county, industriously is circulating a petition protesting against the seating of the ex-Governor, and it is said many signatures already have been secured. The petition follows: To the Senate of the United States: We, the undersigned citizens and qualified voters of the State of Mississippi, beg leave to heroby enter our earnest protest against the seating of James K. Vardaman as a Sasitor from the State of Mississippi for the following legal and moral grounds. L. James K. Vardaman is ineligible to the office of United States Senator because the laws of our State declare that no man who has failed to account for public money is eligible to that office. We cite the laws as follows: Section 42 of the Constitution of the State of Mississippi. As to the facts, we cite: 1. A report of the joint legislative committee of the Legislature of 1910. See exhibit A. 2. Sunday reports of Charles J. Moore, legally appointed accountant of the State of Mississippi. See exhibits. 3. We cite the Senate to the said Charles J. Moore. State accountant, as a witness to said defalcation. 4. We would call attention to the Senate to the refusal of said James K. Vardaman to explain his public accounts when duty summoned, to do no by said State accountant, Charles J. Moore. 5. As Governor he handled numerous trust funds, and in no single instance has he completely accounted for them. The prosecution of Jas. K. Vardaman for those irregularities was prevented by the fact that the district attorney, the sheriff and most of the jurors summoned to serve in Minds county seem to have been political partisans of the said James K. Vardaman. II. We alloge the unworthiness of said James K. Vardaman to a seat in the Senate because he violated the laws of the State of Mississippi in the illegal use of railroad passes. We cite in particular his use of pass No. 864, Gulf and Ship Island Railroad. III. We protest that James K. Vardaman is unworthy of a seat in the Senate of the United States because he has slandered the State of Mississippi in the unfounded charge that he was defeated for election by the Legislature during the session of 1910 by bribery. Wo cite, in brief, the general fact that bribery was charged, but two legislative committees invited all to come to give evidence who had any evidence to offer. No evidence could be found except the claim of Theodore G. Bilbo that he had been paid $645 by L. C. Dulaney to vote for Leroy Percy as United States Senator. Upon this evidence a bill of indictment was returned against L. C. Dulaney for bribery. Upon the trial of Dulaney in the Circuit Court of Yazoo county in November, 1910, the money alleged by Bilbo to have been paid him as a bribe was produced in court, when an official of the United States Treasury aware that some of these bills had not been issued at the time of their alleged use of bribe money Dulaney was, of course, acquitted. See exhibits. IV. We protest that James K. Vardaman is unworthy of a great in the Senate because he has made his campaign before the people upon the double wrong 1. An unfounded charge of labors and corruption against the Fair name of our State Legislature; and (2) upon the equally unfounded charge of disloyalty against the honorable gentleman Leroy Percy, he defeated him before the Legislature, in February, 1910. V. We declare the untidiness of James K. Vardaman because, after basing his campaign before the people upon the dishonor of the State and of his competitors, with unfair and unmanly cowardice, he refused to meet them in joint debate, although challenged to do so. VI. We protest against the seating of James K. Vardaman as Senator because of his flagrant disregard of his financial obligations, obligations made to all classes of people. We refer especially to the case of Booth Drane, of Winnaon, Miss, who, on the 18th of July, 1911, made oath that for eighteen years James K. Vardaman refused to pay him the sum of $150 for overhauling a mattress. Drane is a blind man who lives by making and repairing mattresses. We mention a few other cases: William McCallan of Grenada county, Baldyn, Knowlton & Lake, Memphis, Tenn., Whrner & Soarles, Vickburg; J. H Caldwell, Yazoo county; H. L. Taylos, Yazoo county; J. G. Gunther, Madison county; R. C. Carson, Columbus, Miss., King, of Heathman, Miss. VII We protest against the sentinel of James K Vardman because of the publication by him of an obscene rilvations and abusive paper called "The issue," and in justification of this rilvation we cite the Senate to the the paper. The following details illustrate its character and influence. The campaign just ended was needed for the disorder in meetings held against Vardman, in which anti-Vardman speakers were subjected to much rudeness. We cite an witness Hon John M Allon and W. S. Hill. former members of Congress. At Godbold's Wells July 4, 1910. Senator Percy was interrupted during his speech. Commenting on the occurrence, a newspaper in the State declared "nothing was too nasty to do to the secret caucus gang," meaning those who defeated James K Vardaman before the previous Legislature. This inexcusable utterance was quoted with approval in The Issue. At Rose Hill, in Jasper county, Deputy Sheriff Rounda was stabbed in the back and murdered by some ruthens whom he was endeavoring to deafen from interrupting Senator Percy's speech. During all the non-emotional campaign no public protest was made by James K Vardaman against this unseemly conduct. See exhibits. VIII We would call your attention to the indecent abuse by James K Vardaman of many of the noblest and best men of our nation. See exhibits. 1X. Believing that Jas K Vardaman is legally disqualified and unfit morally and temporarily for the office of United States Senator, and that the effect of his influence is to sow dissension among our own citizens, arraying classes, callings and races against each other, and degrading the moral and political standards, debating to our public life, and that his course fosters sectional prejudice and retards the growing relations of accord between all sections of our country, we respectively petition the Senate of the United States 1. That this protest be spread upon the records of Congress. 2. That full investigation be made into the matters herein set forth. FIRED ON FIVE TIMES. Bullets Flew Thick and Fast at Cary Street Road Camp. George Williams, colored, of 9 South Twenty-second street was fired upon for some unknown cause, he states, last Saturday afternoon while at a camp on the Cary Street road, and was shot through the right hand. He was fired upon five times. The first bullet passed through his hand, between the thumb and first finger. The second grazed his right arm, without inflicting injury. The other three passed by his head as he was running. The bullet was extracted. The mighty gatsby is so valuable as human mind.

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

Entered at the Post Office at Richmond, Va. as second-class matter SATURDAY . NOV. 18, 1911 THREE PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTMENTS. President William H. Taft visited Chattanooga, Tenn., Nov. 10, 1911, and traveled over the battlefields there. The correspondent there says. The President was whirled by scores of monuments, that bore testimony to the valor of thousands who fought at Chickamauga, and paused more than once to read the inscriptions on shafts of stone and granite to the men who died on the field around him. On the summit of Kelly's Hill, one of the hotly contested spots on the battlefield, Mr Grosvenor explained the way in which his regiment and those with him defended that point years ago. "Ever since that battle," said Mr Grosvenor, "we've been trying to convince the Confederates that we won." WW. "You had a pretty hot time didn't you," said the President. He continues Twice today) the President declared that his visit to Tennessee was not political, and to the students of Chattanooga University he defended his appointments to the United States Supreme Court. "It has been my privilege and pleasure while President," said Mr Taft, "to appoint from the States of Tennessee, Louisiana and Georgia men to the United States Supreme Court, the highest judicial office in the world. Two of them were Confederate soldiers and I believe Democrats. However, I didn't appoint them because they were ex-Confederate soldiers, but because they were good men and brilliant lawyers." He glories in his action in appointing his political enemies to office to the exclusion of his political friends He can affiliate with Democrats and he can appoint Democrats to office in preference to tried and true Republicans, and he can yet maintain his standing in the Republican party of the nation If he can do this why cannot white and colored Republicans throughout the country do the same thing? If he can nominate and use the great power of his office to secure the confirmation of Mr. Justice White (Democrat), of Louisiana, over Mr. Justice Harlan (Republican), of Kentucky, and Mr. Justice Hughes (Republican), of New York, why cannot white and colored Republicans vote for Governor Mann (Democrat) and his party associates in Virginia and maintain their standing in the Republican party of the State and nation? We draw this comparison and emphasize this illustration in order to show that the distinguished Ohioan is the leading factor in the disintegration and disruption of the Republican party of the nation. That the signs are ominous that it will be disastrous to renominate it evident still if he is the weakest candidate outside of the Republican party, he is the one individual who has the largest following within the party lines. Those who are advocating Senator La Follette for the President of the United States evidently do so upon the theory that whoever is nominated will lead a fortorm hope and that this able statesman can do about as much to hold the party organization together as any other candidate who could be named at this time. CASELY HAYFORD'S TREATISE Mr Casey) Hayford in his highly interesting treater, Gold Coast Native Institutions, explains in detail tribal laws and customs and by using terms readily understood in the British Isle and on the Continent, makes it possible for the reader to understand almost at a glance all that he wishes to convey and impress upon the public. He explains the relationship of the Chief Barrister Hayford's description of the "linguist" or "spokesman" as we would call him as amusing as it is interesting. He says The Linguist is a most important personage in the Native State. He is in some cases, more influential than the Chief. But he must not be taken literally. He is not a person skilled in the tongues of men, he generally speaks but one language. He was called a linguist first by a half educated native interpreter asked to explain his position to the white man and as Linguist he has been known ever since in the language of law and politics on the Gold Coast We might correct the term and substitute "spokesman" for it but it will be going dead against all precedent so I shall content myself with the explanation that the so-called "linguist" is the spokesman of his word and master. But he is more than a spokesman. He is by no means a mere figurehead he is one of the main props in the Native State System. Both the King and the Head Chief have their linguists and so have the Tuto him and even subordinate Chiefs. He is a sort of confidential officer who is always about the person of the King or Chief and is his mouthpiece in every public function as well as in judicial proceedings. He is generally speaking an intelligent bright and witty individual skilled in the use of language, smoothing down an angry word of his master or putting a beaten up to a retort when the sensation demands it. If he is a right down capable man he often attains to a position of great influence in the community. 11. 011 (110) The Linguist's place is not filled by his successor to the ancestral stoop. It is filled by his son, if he follows in the steps of his father, and has his capabilities. The son, living in his father's house and often carrying his stool to the public meetings and to the King's Court, would if he were intelligent, pick up the knowledge which would qualify him to be a linguist after his father. The Linguist is generally the repository or if you like, a walking development of all traditional knowledge and information in connection with the stool. Under which he serves. He is supposed to be acquainted with the etiquette of the Court and in case of new succession it will be his duty to instruct the new monarch in the functions of the Crown. As a reward for valuable services, he may occasionally be promoted to the King's Council in which capacity he will practically be the ruling voice warranted by his great experience. H. says further: The Linguist, as we have seen comes by his knowledge from his very early acquaintance with Court functions history and tradition continuing his education or training throughout the greater portion of his life and often extending the field of his enquiries till his knowledge embraces the political history of the whole State as well as of slater States. When he speaks, therefore he does so as one having authority and be listened to with the greatest respect. As a further description of this important office and his duties he says When the Linguist rises up to speak in public he leans upon the King's gold cane or a subordinate linguist holds it in front of him. He is going to make a speech now, and it is sure to be a happy effort. It will sparkle with wit and humor. He will make use freely of parables to illustrate points in his speech. He will indulge in coggrams, and all the while he will come not to possess any nerves—so cool no collected, so self-compacent! He comes of a stock used to public speaking and public functions. The art of "linguistic" oratory is all its best in Ashanti, where, coupled with acuteness of a high order, it makes the members of the linguistic body about the most enlightened men of the kingdom. Boatsin, the Linguist of the King of Ashanti, being once pressed with questions about the indomynity in a "palaver" between the Governor and some Ashanti amassors calmly said: "Se yori he linkoro, na se yanna na yori del kaa naem dzia, inki ma ka bl. Na tyi the wala tihum asem," mooting "If this were a regular 'palaver' and we were discussing matters with wisdom, I could hold my own. But this is a matter of might." This, then is a practical demon. stration and a specific citation of the high literary ability of these so-called heathens, who certainly give evidence of an intelligence which would be appreciated if possessed by the lower elements of the civilized world. Author Cassoy Hayford pauses long enough to remark: In the days of the Judicial Assensors, when Sir David Chalmers of honored memory, was Chief Magistrate of the Gold Coast, the Kings and Chiefs, when required to assist the Court with points on the Customary Law, sat on the bench with the Magistrate, and the latter lost none of his dignity thereby. The Wages of Sin is Death. (Continued From Page Number ONE) such crimes as this is to punish them adequately, certainly, speedily. There fore the judgment of the Circuit Court of Chesterfield will be carried into effect without interference from me. (Signed) WILLIAM HODGES MANN Accompanied by D. Beattie, cousin of Beattie, Jr., and put against him in his trader, went to police later afternoon im reading in an after account of an anl made by him, and the instrate J. A. Purdie took oath that the all parts of the all were absolutely unti There will be no harm in going back to the old practice, particularly now that the stools of the Gold Coast are gradually being filled by men with English education. It will inspire yet greater confidence in the hearts of native litigants in purely native cases. "This then is the recommendation and hope of this son of Africa" who with a heavy heart witnesses the despoiling of his native land, and the bigging of some of his fondest hopes. Author Hayford puts up a powerful plea for the Africans. He says The careless foreign critics puts down the nonchalance of the native to ingrained laziness. Whenever I come across such critics I smile at their simplicity. As a matter of fact the "lazy Fantil" is capable of putting forth effort amidst his own surroundings which men of no other race on earth can. Who in truth, have been the pioneers and developers of the mahogany gold and rubber industries of the Gold Coast but the lazy Fantil. Moreover, I must hold to say that the future work of the country will be done by him but not in the foreign critics' way. The further description of the customs and usages of their African tribe or nation is exceedingly interesting. He tells about the Headman and his Councillors. His description of the people is interesting and instructive. But enough for this week. We shall not prolong the recital but will reserve it for our next installment. YUAN SHIH KAI. Urged by Prince Ching as the Next Premier of China. Man Eloped With Wrong Twin. Captain Harry R Edwards, of the schooner May H, eloped from Kean Island near Annapolis, Md., Sunday night with Mr. Betty Harrison the daughter of G F Harrison, a farmer. Edwards spent his vacation last summer at a home near that of the Harrisons who had twin daughter-People living on the island have often mistaken one of them for the other and that was what Edwards did when he eloped. Edwards landed from the schooner bounding to slope with Mary Harrison he not Betty first and thinking she was Mary hurried off to a parson and then went aboard the schooner. The schooner is now somewhere in Cheesapeake bay with Edwards and his wife aboard headed for Baltimore, while Mary is meeting the fate that leaves her a single woman. It was reported last summer that Betty was jealous of the attention paid her sister by Edwards, and it believed she learned that Edwards was going to marry Mary and decided the best way to stop it was to marry him herself. Makes Solid Whisky Whisky in a solid form which, it is supposed will enable a man to "taint a stimulant and truthfully swear to his wife that he had not been drunk lag." is the latest revelation presented to Commissioner Caboll, of the internal revenue bureau. The commissioner has been called upon to decide whether or not "solid whisky" is taxable for federal revenue purpose. This new substance comes from the prohibition state of Kansas, and its inventor says that it does not come within the internal revenue tax laws because those statutes refer only to whisky as a liquid. In presenting this contention it is declared that whisky, brandy bee and other alcoholic beverages can be solidified. This was news to the commissioner who has passed upon many variations of intoxicating liquors, but never before had he heard of them reduced to entable form.

There fore the judgment of the Circuit Court of Chesterfield will be carried into effect without interference from me. (Signed) No earthly hope remains to Henry Clay Beattle, Jr. He will be sent to the death chamber In the State Penitentiary early In the morning of Friday, November 24, and will there pay the extreme penalty of the law which he has outraged For him there is only the prayer of Judge Walter A Watson "May the Lord have mercy upon your soul" No statement could be more positive and unequivocal than that issued by Governor Mann yesterday morning. Not only did he decline in the most absolute terms to grant even a respite but he expressed himself in such language as to shut off any further appeals for mercy. Analysis of the decision reached by him shows that it would be an affront to the Governor to present to him an additional plea, unless based on evidence which is unknown at this time. He leaves no loophole evidently being determined to avoid demands upon his time and his sympathies in the face of his convictions, and of his immutable decision not to interfere with the due and orderly execution of the mandates of that law which he is in office to enforce. FAMILIAR WITH CASE The State's chief executive has fully informed himself of all the essential facts in the case. He has carefully followed the trial, and has weighed for himself the evidence produced at that time. He has noted the points raised in the bills of exceptions and has read the arguments of counsel for the defense in the petition for a writ of error. He has noted the prompt and positive denial of an error will by the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia. Besides he has seen the Paul Beat the affidavit secured from somebody in Washington. He has read this paper carefully, and has deliberately made up his mind that it is unworthy of consideration with an appeal for clemency. The attorneys who have fought so vigorously and so faithfully for the life of then client can do nothing more save only in the exceedingly remote possibility of the production of new and material evidence. They have exhausted every tribunal judicial and executive. They have made every point which their knowledge of the law and which the decisions and precedents of Virginia pleadings and practice have suggested. There is nothing more to do. KNOWS HE IS QUILTY Henry Clay Beatty III took his appeal to the Supreme Court the Governor is convinced "with the purpose, if possible of avoiding the consequences of a crime of which he knows he is guilty." Nothing could be more expressive of the attitude of Governor Mann in the case. The verdict of the jury to his mind was unquestionably correct. He has seen to hear nothing since the day when the federal word 'guilty' fell from the lips of the clerk in the little court house of Chesterfield county to modify his conviction. To interfere, then would be to tomporise with the law. Again from his own pen comes the comment that executive clemency in the form of respite would be to encourage appeals to the Supreme Court with the sole purpose of gaining time. Dismissing the Paul Beatty affidavit with a single clause, the Governor says, that it is not sufficient to create in the mind of a reasonable man a substantial doubt of the guilt of the prisoner. AVIDAVITS LACK FORCE Not in connection with this case, the Governor has frequently as a matter of interest to bip as a lawyer commented on the insufficiency of affidavits as evidence. He has no information as to the one in question and throws no doubts upon it, but he has often said that they are exceedingly unsatisfactory papers. They stand in the form of depositions taken in the absence of the attorneys for the opposite litigant with no opportunity for cross-examination no chance to observe the demeanor of the witness on the stand. There is no way to shake the evidence by questioning. It is hardly to be wondered at, then argue those who discussed the action of yesterday, that he prefers to consider the testimony of Paul Douglas Beattie on the stand at the trial as approximating the truth. This of course, is presuming that he considers this man's evidence as material to the case. JUDGE WATSON COMMENDED It may be further noted that the Governor paid especial attention to the rulings of Judge Watson for he takes occasion to comment on the fact that the presiding judge was careful to give the benefit of every reasonable doubt to the prisoner, that his instructions were as favorable as the counsel for the defense could have expected, and that the refusal by the court of last resort to find error in the record shows that he did not err in the admission or exclusion of evidence or in instructing the jury. In view, probably, of statements that have been made to the effect that arguments against capital punishment would be presented to him in Boattie's behalf, the Governor says that he does not question its necessity. He himself would not hesitate to vote as a juryman for the extreme penalty of the law in a proper case. He apparently thinks it unnecessary to discuss the proposition that he is not authorized to abolish capital punishment.—Times-Dispatch. Nov. 16. Accompanied by his wife, Paul D. Beattie, cousin of Henry Clay Beattie, Jr., and principal witness against him in his trial for wife murder, went to police headquarters yesterday afternoon immediately after reading in an afternoon paper an account of an alleged confession made by him, and there, before Maggisstrate J. A. Purdie, notary public, took oath that the five statements, all parts of the alleged confession, were absolutely untrue and without a particle of foundation in fact. PAUL BEATTIE'S AFFIDAVIT In the presence of Captain Mc Mahon, Detective-Sergeant Kellam his wife and a newspaper man, Paul Heattle swore to and signed the following papers: 1. Paul Heattle, do hereby solently swear and declare that on account of the issue of the Richmond Evening Journal, of this date, pertaining to alleged statements made by me in Washington, D. C., I at once came to police headquarters for the purpose of correcting these alleged statements, which are, I notice (1) 'He did not give the shotgun to Henry on Saturday night before the murder.' (2) He (Paul) had the gun in his possession from twelve to eighteen hours after he claimed to have given it to his cousin. (3) He was in the cement house at the bridge with the shotgun the Sunday before the murder. (4) 'Henry made no confession to him and did not say, "I wish to God I hadn't done it."' (5) He was led to treaty as he did before the coroner and at the trial because he feared prosecution 'And I hereby solemnly swear that such statements were never made by me to any one, much less to a notary public as stated in this issue of the Richmond Evening Journal (Signed) 'PAUL, D. DEATTIE 'Subscribed and sworn to before me this 11th day of November, 1911 (Signed) 'J A PURDIE, Notary public in and for the city of Richmond, Va. HANDLED BY STRANGERS Immediately after signing this paper Paul Beattie signed his name to a statement he had given to Captain McMahon several days ago. The statement was in connection with transactions. Beattie had had in Washington with several men who represented themselves to be agents of a typewriter company, and who offered him a position with the company at a salary of $35 a week and expenses. Beattie was with this man in Washington for nine days. He was never employed by the typewriter company, received no position whatever though he tried at several other places to get employment, and returned to his wife and child in Richmond. Jeffleit first met one of these representatives of the typewriter company in Richmond after receiving a telephone message to call at Murphy's Hotel. There he was offered employment and consented to go to Washington. In Washington he met several other men and was taken to a place where several typewriting machines were shown him. He was informed, he says that the company was to open a branch office in Washington and that he was to be placed in charge. ASKED TO WRITE HEATTIE SR He waited waited for nine days and then he alleges inducements were made to him to sign a sympathetic letter" letter to Henry Clay Beattie. Sr father of the convicted man He was informed he says that it would result to his financial betterment to sign the letter Chief among the statements made in this letter was that he was armed with a gun on Mayo's Bridge on the Sunday preceding the murder. He refused at first to make such a statement, but was told that it was meant to show only that he was armed with a pistol. The letter was signed and dispatched, and was, it is stated, afterwards received by Mr. Beattie. Captain McMahon was informed several days ago of this letter, and had interviewed Paul and got from him a statement in regard to the communication. At that time it was alleged that an attempt had been made to blackmail Mr. Benttle and Captain McMahon immediately made an investigation. He interviewed Harry M Smith, Jr. attorney for Henry Clay Benttle. Jr. in the latter's trial for murder, and was informed that no complaint had been registered and that there were no grounds on which to take action. As to the alleged confession, Paul Benttle denies it in its entirety and declares that he never saw a notary public while in Washington. SAYS HE WAS DOPED Paul Beattie told a reporter for The Times-Blapatch last night that the three men who claimed to be typewriter agents were confidence men, who sent for him immediately after the State Fair and took him to Washington. He related how they had "framed" up a blackmail scheme and forced him to sign a paper, the nature of which he does not know. When he got away from them and returned to Richmond he said he went to see Chief of Detectives McMahon and informed him of the facts and that subsequently in a disguised voice, he telephoned H. C. Beattie, Sr. and warned him against certain people who pretended to have information. From the statement made by Paul Beattie to his family, he was doped while in Washington, and it is barely possible that "confessions" will be forthcoming, although Paul asserts that these are forgeries. CERTAIN IT WAS BLACKMAIL. "I got away from the men as soon as I could," said Paul. "For I was satisfied that they were trying to use me for blackmail purposes. One of them said he could forge any name. At first I thought they were really going to give me a job, but I was later convinced that they wanted to use me for unlawful purposes. I had already explained the situation to Captain McMahon, and I went immediately to police headquarters this afternoon when that alleged confession was printed under, flaring headlines. I have suffered enough and I certainly would not have been fool enough to confess that I lived in court, when I might have known that it was a penitentiary offense. Those men doped me, and they did it simply because they wanted to use me as a tool in the hope of bleeding somebody."—Richmond (Va.) Times Dispatch SUPREME COURT DECLARES THAT JURY'S VERDICT IN BEATTING CASE MUST TRYHAI His rights in the courts of the Commonwealth exhausted, and with the trial jury's verdict of guilty approved by two tribunals, Henry Clay Beatty, Jr., is brought face to face with the shameful death prescribed by statute for wilful murderers. His last real hope for life was ended yesterday when the Supreme Court of Appeals refused to grant him a writ of error, and thus declined to even review the case on his petition for a reversal and a new trial Only a successful plan to Governor Mann for a life of imprisonment in the stripes of a convict would save Beattie. Such action would be entirely unexpected. The prisoner had a trial which was generally commended for the care with which disputed points were decided. The highest Virginia court has determined that the pleadings of the petition were not worthy of even a hearing on their merits—that the arguments of the defense alone were insufficient, without waiting for a statement from the prosecution. WILL HARDLY INTERFERE Those who have carefully followed the case do not believe that any representation can be made of sufficient force to induce executive interference in the face of the judicial history of the case. And it is equally realized that it is little to talk of a commutation based on general arguments against capital punishment to a Governor who is aware to carry out the laws of the Commonwealth no matter what his individual views may be. In the death chamber of the State penitentiary Beattie was informed yesterday of the action taken by the Supreme Court. The informant was his father, who went to the State prison soon after he heard of the result of the appeal. Later in the afternoon the prisoner was pelted by H M Smith, Jr., one of his attorneys. The future was discussed on this latter occasion and the contents of respite or commutation were gone into at some length. Beattie received the news without serious results to his general condition. He was apparently as well as ever last night. Of course, no effort was made by representatives of the Times-Dispatch to pull aside the well and learn the details and effect of the interview between the aged father and his son. In such an hour, public curiosity halts at the door of the tragedy and draws aside from the horror LAW UNUSCALLY QUICK Less than four months elapsed between the day when Henry Clay Benttle Jr. stood by the open grave of its young wife, Louise Owen Benttle in Maury Cemetery, and the day when the doom of the husband was finally pronounced by Judge James Keith, president of the Supreme Court of Appalachia of Virginia. Justice in this instance has been swift. Not even in other lands could there be much less of the law's delays. The murder was committed on July 18 the verdict was rendered by the trial jury on September 8 the appeal was refused by the court of last resort on November 13. While it had been realized from the moment of the filing of the petition on November 4, that the court might take action at any time, the opinion had been quite general that a written opinion would be rendered and that in that event the appeal would not be heard from until Thursday of this week, when the court will hand down its first batch of decisions for the term. This accounts for the fact that few people were in the courtroom when the session began at 10 o'clock yesterday morning. One or two lawyers from Lynchburg were on hand to argue a tax case while three or four others were sitting about waiting for succeeding hearings. KEITH PRONOUNCED DECISION Clerk H Stewart Jones occupied a few seconds in reading the minutes of Friday's session of the court. Then Judge Keith, from the bench, simply said: "In the case of Beatle versus the Commonwealth, from the Circuit Court of Chesterfield, county, the judgment of the court being plain right, a writ of error is refused." Judge Keith followed nearly the verbage of the formal order which always goes with the rendering of a refusal for a writ of error on an appeal. There was no explanation of the court's action. It was simply a statement that the defense had not in its petition made out a case with sufficient force to justify further consideration No attorney in the case was presen-ent when the decision was rendered. Clerk Jones notified counsel for the petitioner as soon as possible, and a few minutes thereafter the howe- had spread throughout the city. Men told each-other on the streets, in the office buildings, in the stores, that Boatte had been refused a writ of error, and that he could secure no new trial. Nobody was surprised, few expressed dissatisfaction, nobody wondered. It was as if some body of people, having, as they knew, voted overwhelmingly for a cause, heard the official returns without especial interest. NOT YET BEFORE GOVERNOR. Governor Mann was in Petersburg yesterday. Attorneys for the prisoner tried to get in touch with him but he was not in his office. He was asked by his secretary, likely the thought of the secretary's father, that declared to make appointments, thereby indicating that he might have something to say today, a matter rather than before him, and on course, he has an decision to announce, as yet. It is understood that he will be seen today for the purpose of a preliminary conference. Upon what he indicates the next move of the defense will likely be used. Differing opinions prevail as to the probability of a respite for, thirty or sixty days. Such a stay of execution is often given, when a case is pending, in the Supreme Court, or when the facts to be presented to the Governor are not familiar to him. But in this instance, it is believed, Governor Mann has followed the progress of the case, and that he is familiar with it. It is not improbable that he will indicate to the attorneys the futility of a petition to him, unless accompanied by new evidence or by arguments which differ from those already advanced in the courts. In that event, one more appeal might be made for time for the prisoner to prepare himself for that eternity which now seems opening for him. On this point, the Governor might consider an extension of the number of Beattie's days on earth. THE DENIED PETITION The petition of Beattie, which is reproduced in full this morning, is an interesting document, in view of the importance which the case has assumed in the public mind. Seventeen bills of exceptions were presented, and some of these were discussed at some length. Paul Beattie's credibility is made a subject of special attention. The court is asked to examine his evidence and to determine if it is worthy of belief. The attempt is made to show that the prisoner would not have gone about his preparations for the murder in the manner indicated by the testimony of his cousin, nor would he have so put himself in the power of Paul Beattie. The prisoner is said to be a man of intelligence. To have done as Paul Beattie said he did, argues the petition, would have shown him to be a driving idiot. ÖPINION OF JURORS A good deal of space is taken up in discussion of the acceptability of jurors. Those who had read newspaper accounts of the crime and had formed an opinion as to the guilt or innocence as to the accused based on such circumstantial evidence as the publications afforded, are said to have been not qualified jurors. The Metue case is quoted in this connection, the point being made that rulings of the same court in that instance reached the high-water mark in latitude of acceptance of talesmen. Objection is made to sundry statements made in evidence, and admitted by the court over the objection of the defense. Certain parts of the evidence of Mrs. R. V. Owen, mother of the murdered woman, are said to have been improperly before the jury. An interesting point is the objection to remarks made in the closing address of Louis O Wendenburg, special counsel for the prosecution. Asking the jury to convict Beattie, Mr Wendenburg said in effect that if the prisoner wer efeed, the State should dig up the remains of Phillips, Cluverius and McCue and apologize to them. It was argued in the petition that the admission of this sort of appeal to the jury was highly improper. Numerous authorities were cited to show previous decisions on this and other matters mentioned. Upon these and other objections, the petitio asked that the judgment of the Chesterfield court in refusing the prisoner a new trial be reversed, and that he be again put on trial for his life or his liberty.

Booker, 808 Wylie avenue, Pittsburg, SATURDAY .....NOV. 18, 1911 From New York AT THE NATION'S METROPOLIS. Alien's National Nows Bureau. The "On-to-Washington movement, which had its origin at the session of the National Baptist Convention held at Providence, R. I., last summer, and a 'movement which calls for 5,000 to march to the National Capital at Washington and protest to the President against the lynching of the Negro in this country, is getting into shape. Although the movement had its origin in a baptist movement. It has now outgrown the denominational lines and has 'interested all 'denominations which are giving co-operation. The National Committee realizes that the problem of lynching is a national one and one that should interest the entire race. Some of the most prominent clergymen and laymen in the race of all denominations have joined in the movement, and have said in one voice lynching must stop. Realizing that New York is the great center of the American civilization and of the American newspaper thought, and where a large and influential number of colored people reside, New York has been agreed upon as the starting point of the committee. The aim of the committee fostering the movement is to organize a committee of five in every large city to manage and supervise the general movement in their respective States. The committee plans a commonsense and conservative effort and hopes to interest the best type of men in the race. The resolution, which is to be read before the President of the nation, is to be placed in the hands of a committee who has had legal training and who thoroughly understand the art of drafting the important resolution. Last Wednesday at Salom M. E. Church the meeting of the local committee was held to talk over further plans of the movement and to arrange for a large mass-meeting to be held at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church Thursday evening, December 12th. The meeting is to be the starting point of the national campaign, and will be one of the most important mass-meetings of the campaign. Dr. John H. McMullen, pastor of Little Zion A M. E. Church, presided and told in a brief introductory address the great need of such movement to protest against the lynching of the Negro in the country. He said he would do all he could for the movement and hoped that when the movement marches to Washington a deep impression will be made upon the President of the nation. Rev Dr A Mark Harris, pastor of the Salem Baptist Church and who is a member of the National Committee who is planning the general campaign, was the first speaker. He told how the "On-to-Washington" movement had gotten into shape since the movement began in Providence. He said: "The time has come when we must suppress the lynching of the Negro in this country and begin to bring about a better and healthier sentiment in the Negro's favor. I have met with considerable encouragement in the different cities in which I have gone in the interest of the movement. In Boston and Providence and other New England cities local committees have been established. Dr Dt Bois, who is the director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored, heartily endorsed the movement and said that the mass meeting to be held at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church he hoped would be the means of sounding the general keynote to be heard in this national campaign. Other present at the meeting and who spoke were Rev. Dr K. C. Ransom, pastor of Bqthel A. M. E. Church, Revs. W. P. Hayes, of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, Goodman Slimme, of Bqthel Baptist Church; A. Clayton Peppall, of the Abysisina church; G. Hunt of Mt. Vernon; Rev. Booker, of St. Paul Baptist Church; W. H. Brooks, of St. Mark's M. E. Church; Horace G. Miller, of Mt. Taylor Presbyterian Church. At the mass-meeting to be held at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church on December 12th, the speakers will be Counselor James L. Curtis, Rev. Dr. A. C. Powell, Dr. W. S. B. Du Bois, Mrs Frances K. Keyser, of the White Rose Mission, and others to be announced. The National Committee consists of Revs. Dr. A. Mark Harris, Jersey City; G. H. P. Talliaferro, of Philadelphia; W. H. Brooks, of New York, and William H. Creditt, of Philadelphia. The committee says lynching must stop, and that the committee hopes to keep up a vigilant fight for the manhood rights of the Negro. NEW YORK STREET CLEANERS STRIKE. The street Cleaning Department of the city of New York went out on strike last week, and up to this writing the men are still out. The trouble started with the night force of the department, who struck for better pay and shorter hours. Out of sympathy with the night force, the entire department, including the day force, went out in sympathy with the night force. The usual street rioting accompanying strikes has provailed in the city, and several deaths have resulted from the rioting. The public is not at all in North First St., Richmond, Va.

The situation is grave, and the condition of the streets due to the large collection of garbage and refuse is in a very unhealthy condition. The lives of the entire population is endangered by the unhealthy condition of the city streets. If relief is not had from the city department the Board of Health has threatened to do something to relieve the situation. The strikebreakers, who are taking the place of the strikers, are being guarded by policemen and special guards. The situation is to be relieved within the next week according to the orders coming from the Mayor's office and the Board of Aldermen, Commissioner Edwards, of the Street Cleaning Department, is doing what he can to clean up the streets and relieve the grave situation. The entire population of the Metropolis is indignant over the strike of the Street Cleaning Department, and feel that the strikers are doing themselves and the city a grave injustice and are endangering the lives of the people of the Metropolis by their obsulency. MEMORIAL SERVICES TO BOB COLLE The memory of Robert Cole known to the public and theatrical world as Bob Cole, was honored in special memorial services last Friday evening at St James Presbyterian Church. A large and representative gathering representing all walks of life, and friends and admirers of the late actor were present and heard the character and virtues of the great actor extolled and how in life he provided for the comforts and his mother and sister. A feature of the meeting was the singing of the "Big Red Shawl," written by Cole in the hoyday of his theatrical success, and the song that he starred in at the "Red Moon" Company. The general opinion was that he was best in the "Red Moon" Company and the Trip to Coontown. J Dogglass Wetmore, a lifetime friend of Cole, presided. He said he had known Cole at least 25 years and always admired him for his pluck ambition and energy. At the time of his death he left a handsome home for his mother and provided her with a splendid competence for life. Others who spoke were Dr E. P. Roberts, Fred R. Moore, of the New York Age, Jesse A. Schipp, a member of the Red Moon Company: Dr Charles H. Roberts and Rev W R. Lawton IN MUSICAL CIRCLES Activities are seen in musical circles of the Metropolis, and the music-lovers will have an opportunity to be treated to several interesting musical events. The activity in the musical circles of the city speak volumes for the musical development of the members of the race. Prominent among the coming musical events that promises to be out of the ordinary are the following: Mme. Lulu Robinson Jones, one of the most promising young primadonnas in the race, is making preparation for her annual Teclat at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church Thursday evening, December 7th. The recital promises to be one of the most interesting musical events of the season. Mrs Jones will be supported by the following well known artists: Mrs C Amee Hayes, pianist, Miss Ardelle Mitchell Taylor, dramatic reader; C. Carol Clarke, the noted Denver baritone, and the wonderful child violinist; Norwood Alexander Tanner, aged 9 years. Mme. Jones made, her first debut several years ago in New York and has now become one of New York's favorites. The first appearance of C. Carroll Clarke the noted Denver baritone, is being looked forward to with much delight. Mr. Clarke is one of the sweetest baritone singers of the race, and has been favorably judged by musical critics as one of the most promising singers of the race. Mr. Clarke will be presented by the Literary League of Greater New York at Salem M. E. Church. He will be supported by the following well-known artists: Miss Etta Cannon, dramatic reader; Henry O. Harding, violinist, and E. Aldamn Jackson, the well known organist and musician. Mr. Clarke has sung with decided success before many cultured audiences of the country, and his appearance in New York is creating considerable interest among the music-lovers of the Metropolis.

NEW CHURCH FOR ZION The great A M E Zion connection is to have another new church added to their long list of handsome edifices. The new church is to be in New York and situated in 138th street in the Harlem section of the city, where fully 40,000 members of the race reside. The new church to be built will be the outgrowth of the Little Zion A M E Church, now worshiping in an inadequate frame structure. The pastor of the church is Rev Dr John H McMullen, one of the most prominent churchman in the connection. The cornerstone for the new church was formally laid recently and the exercises were attended by many prominent prelates in the Zion connection, as well as clergymen representing the other denominations. Among those present at the laying of the cornerstone were Bishop J C Caldwell, of Philadelphia, G C Clement, editor of the star of Zion Rev Dr R C Ransom, of Bethlehem A M E Church, and Dr W H Brooks, pastor of St Marks M E Church Rev Dr McMullen, pastor of the church, has a reputation as a church builder and worker in the connection of great merit The building of the new Zion structure in the nation's Metropolis reflects considerable credit upon the ability of Dr McMullen.

ALLEN. Correspondent (N Y Sun. Nov 11, 1911) Andrew Carnegie turned over $25,000,000 yesterday afternoon to the Carnegie Corporation of New York, the body which was incorporated by the Legislature on June 9 of the prosais year for the purpose of taking over Mr. Carnegie's work in connection with educational institutions, libraries and hero funds. The gift was in the form of 5 percent, first mortgage bonds of the United States Steel Corporation, the bonds being given as at par. The bonds closed yesterday at 102 5-8, so at yearend's closing the gift was worth about $656,250 more than the face value of the bonds. The income of which the incorporators will have the disposition is $1,250,000 a year.

The bill for the incorporation of the fund was introduced in the last Legislature by Senator Frawley on March 21, 1911. It was passed June 9. It provided that the corporation be empowered to hold real and personal property without limitation and empowered the trustees to expend the income in such manner as in their judgment would best promote the object of the corporation. It was signed by Governor Dix on June 10. The incorporators met for the first time yesterday. Mr Carnegie was elected president Senator Root, vice president, Mr Frank, treasurer, and Mr Bertram secretary. It is intended that the business of founding and aiding libraries and educational institutions which has been carried on by Mr Carnegie as an individual shall be turned over to the corporation at an early date and be carried on hereafter by the corporation. The Carnegie Corporation has nothing to do with the previously organized institutions bearing the name Carnegie. The incorporators feel that the purposes of the corporation will be subserved by aiding one or another of these institutions. According to the figures given in the biographical books, Mr Carnegie will be 76 years old on the twenty-fifth of the present month. As those associated with him in the present benefaction understand, Mr Carnegie's motives, the man who has given so many millions to educational projects and other causes which he believed deserved his assistance in desirous of relieving himself of the responsibility of giving—of all the thousand and one details incident upon an investigation of the various needs and opportunities attracting the attention of the philanthropist, and most of all is desirous that the work which he has been doing in these directions shall go on independent of his age and health.

Mr. Rockefeller gave $32,000,000 at one time to his general education board, on February 7, 1807. The total of his gifts to that fund is said to be about $53,000,000. Mr. Carnegle is credited with giving something like $52,000,000 in figures for libraries, but the donations came from time to time as the needs presented by the The Carnegle Institution at Washington has received $25,000,000 from its founder, but the sum is the total of several gifts, i.e. Hotel Dale T.

Altogether rough estimates of his gifts for the cause of education, peace, research and for hero funds and other philanthropic purposes made before the present $25,000,000 gift totalled between $190,000,000 and $200,000,000.

H. (Cyclone) Samuela, former constable of Hennico county, who killed his son last September and was adjudged insane by a lunacy commission, and who is now confined in the county jail. The shiver of his son is permitted to roam about the courthouse yard, without guard and he has, upon several occasions, gone into the streets and visited stores in the neighborhood of Twenty-second and Main streets for the purpose of making small purchases. Several days ago he was seen by a county magistrate in Twenty-first street, about one block from the prison. It was necessary to send a deputy sheriff to return him to the jail. It is no infrequent sight to see 'Cyclone' leaping upon the fence of the courthouse yard, fronting Main street, talking to any person who will permit himself to be drawn into conversation. MEALS IN VESTIBULE He is allowed to have his meals, which are brought in from a restaurant, and not of the usual prison variety, served in the vestibule of the jail. These and many other privileges are accorded him. The fact that this is so is said to be due to constant complaint that he is in ill health and in need of fresh air. An order committing Samuel's to the Western State Hospital for the Criminally Insane, at Marfin, was sentenced several days ago by Judge R Carter Scott, County Circuit Court, following the findings of the commission, which pronounced him of unsound mind. The State law governing what the court shall do if a person he insane, in part, follows: "If the commission decides that the person he innae and ought to be confined in a hospital, and it is confain that he is a citizen of this State, then the judge or justice shall order such innae person to be delivered to the care and custody of the sheriff of the county or sergeant of the city to be safely kept and confined in jail by him until he is conveyed to a hospital for the innae, or otherwise discharged from custody."

Too much honor and praise cannot be given to the faithful members of Baptist Temple Church, New York city, for their great achievement. For many months they have laured hard to secure a more adequate house of worship, and their efforts at last have been happily rewarded by the purchase of one of the most valuable pieces of property in New York city, on 132d street, between Lenox and Seventh avenues. This is a popular and fashionable locality in the neighborhood of more than 50,000 desirable church-going colored people. It is the purpose of the Baptist Temple to make this one of the most desirable churches in the city of New York. This church has a present membership of about 300 of the most intelligent, industrious and well-to-do people. The congregation has so increased that their present house of worship at No 445 Lenox avenue is in everyway indestructible. Thus they have been forced to widen stakes, spread their borders by securing larger quarters. This church has been pastorized by some of the oldest divines of this country namely Drs Daniel W. Wisher J Gordon and A D Chandler who gave excellent service and who are held in high esteem by the church. Doubtless this church enjoys the exceptional pleasure of sending more of her pastors to foreign countries on vacations than any other colored church. The present pastor is Dr W B Huccless formerly of Virginia, under whose administration and starling leadership so inuch in such a short time has been brought to pass. The church is thoroughly organized. A financial campaign was waged all summer, by which the present results have been accomplished. The new church is superbly adapted for church purposes, and with a few changes it will be accessible for service. The congregation hopes to be able to enter their new church about Thanksgiving Day, at which time special services will be held, when the general public will be invited $10 SPECIAL SCHOLARSHIP $10 "We Train the Heart and Hand."

(Detroit, Mich. informer) Henry Urlich, the man who took Professor Boocher T. Washington for a burglary and brutally beat him up last March, was acquitted by a district court in New York on Friday of this week. Two reports of the trial were received in Detroit. The one printed in the morning News was palpably intrune in some passages of the testimony as was that also printed in The Free Press. Dr Washington told the same story gave out the details of the assault, the woman and other witnesses and different stories to tell. The badest lie told was by the defendants' woman named Alvarez. She decked that Dr Washington followed her and accosted her, saying to her, "Hello, sweetheart." Now say one well know that either of the defendants was guilty of evidence Either Dr Washington is dark crazy or the woman lied. No one will accept the thepy that the professor is crazy. for his constant and sane activity forbids such a conclusion. And if sane then he did not accrast a total stranger in the manner alleged. No gentleman of the culture and admitted refinement possessed by Dr Washington would do it. Therefore, we must conclude that the woman Wesley schramed" her testimony. It was Dr Washington's word, however, against all the other witnesses that the judges were not to be blamed for their decision in the promises. Dr. Washington has our profound sympathy for his embarrassment regarding the affair, and assure him that it in no wise affects our belief in his integrity. --- Testimony Was Fliesd (Houston, Texas Western Star) The daily press sent the news broadcast this week that Dr. Booker T. Washington had lost his case against Ulrich, who was accused of stealing $100,000 from New York city not long ago. Such testimony as was hailed up by the defendant was fixed in such a way as to deflect justice and to free the guilty party. Mr. Washington happens, to be a Negro, but because the evidence given by the defense shows on its face that it was in the main manufactured, and we believe further that every fair minded man in both races who read the testimony believes as (Chicago, Ill. Fellowship Herald) The Associated Press dispatches Tuesday gave full account of the trial and acquittal of Ulrich, the man who best booked Washington on the charges of trespass. For seven months the people of this country have awaited this trial and its outcome. They refuse to accept the natural deduction that race prejudice is so strong that the most prominent, cannot get justice. Had Mr. Washington been poor, obscure and unknown like Robert Nelson who was killed in this city by Policeman Knack with neither money to employ counsel nor friends to exert influence in his behalf, it would be easy to charge the result to race. But the police having plenty of money, and so many powerful friends in all walks of life in New York city and the country, it is a positive absurdity to say it was impossible to convict Ulrich of the assault he has never denied making. To say that President Tatts' influence could not secure conviction for the brutal beating of the police, would be a letter of confidence and confidence, to is say that no one believes. The truth seems to be that Mr Washington has acquiesced in this aquittal as the easiest way out of a bad situation. Easier for him because he has never satisfactorily explained what he, a Christian educator, model husband, exemplar for a large school, assoc. and choreographer, to race leader, was doing in the red-light district of New York city at 10 o'clock on a stormy night. Easier for him, because already the white papers of the South have already made ugly charges reflecting on his honor about that owe, and it is safe to say his reception would not be pleasant. On the other hand, he has pushed the case and secured the conviction and imprisonment of a white man for cutting his head open and boasting him up so severely he had to remain in the hospital several days. Easier for him because it makes him stronger than ever with those in the North, who advocate his race theories and who will ever look on him as a martyr to race prejudice. The Herald beloiles Mr. Washington's theories have done much harm to the race in this country and has always objected to them on that account, exceedingly that he has again created a situation where it becomes necessary to sacrifice this race in order to save himself. Interesting Opinions of the Race's Editors. Court of Special Sessions heard the case of Booker T. Washington against the man Ulrich, who viciously assaulted him last March for alleged suspicious conduct. Two of the justice voted to acquit Ulrich, but the judge ruled against him. Mr Washington's positive testimony. The outcome of the trial, considering the character of the defendant and his relation with the chilf witness, the woman whom he first represented to be his wife and later to be his landlord merely, is decidedly strange. Mr Washington himself was a victim of the assault, and sands of his admirers and friends will unhesitatingly extend to him renewed assurances of absolute confidence and respect. There is no doubt in their minds that he told the exact truth on the witness stand and that his assailant and his "handeddy" either through prejudice or force or both have misrepresented the circumstances of the whole incident. In spite of the acquittal of Vlirch whose past and present life involves local attention, Mr. Washington will continue to command the admiration and esteem of all intelligent and fair-minded fellow citizens and herald her victory. The Chicago Herald-Liveried is a great paper. It is one of the most conscientious journals of America. It deals fairly and squarely with all citizens alike. It uses its columns for the publication of honorable and gelable news matter. Its editors are brilliant and brainy, high tone and elevating. When it deals with any phase of the Negro question, it writes with confidence and without prejudice. Mr. Washington has had a clear record, his attentions at all times have been above criticism. His character is above reproach and his friends and admirers, those without prejudice will agree that the whole affair a flasco. He did his rare a service in prosecuting Urchin. The New York deserves the mental calibre of Mr. Washington, his value as a citizen and his endeavors for his race. It is discouraging to find in this late day of the Twentieth Century that prejudice so completely holds sway that it is impossible that a Negro of known ability and character to receive a just decision in an East African court exists in the courts of New York city, it is equally true in Chicago, for it was only) last week that a policeman killed a Negro teammate cold blooded and the white officer acquitted. To fair minded people this state of affairs must always be regarded as a distinctive example of retarded development. The prejudice is against those who prejudiced as well as those who are victimized. In the light of present affairs it behooves us to renew our Confidence in Dr. Washington and assure him continued justice so completely holds sway that faith and appreciation since he has given us tangible evidence of his value in the community of which he was a member of the Record-Herald, "Dr. Washington will continue to command the admiration and esteem of all intelligent and fair-minded fellow-citizens." Should Disrobe These Justices. (Chicago, Ill., Defender) The final discharge of the assailant of Dr Booker T Washington has set the Negroes of this country thinking. When any race of people is assaulted by the sworn officers of the courts of justice, when color and not facts is the standard by which cases are to be decided, when persecution is to be avoided, testimony, if against a Negro, it is about time to do some thinking. Ulrich charged Dr Washington with being a sneak thief and gave it his sole reason for asking for his arrest, so both police officers testify, who were first on the ground—but not be so. He informed his slain man. After consulting his paramour he charges that Dr. Washington had insulted his wife. These facts were brought to the notice of the court, and this man Ulrich, a common dog, thief and fugitive from justice, with one story, and his admitted paramour, with his persecutory testimony on our behalf, informed the court of the country's greatest educator on the other's know their decision! How any rational man, with the astounding contrasts between the two statements, an apology for that verdict can only be explained by blind prejudice—the public or impainable—facts of the eyes and facts of the conscience, all look alike to these men. Moss and Ziller. If there can be found a white woman, no matter how vile she may be, who will point out any Negro, however clean his life may have been and will be, a marshal who is safe; if he be black? What things like these can happen. Is not it proof of the hold that prejudice has upon this nation, that it is a shame, a crime, a curse to this country; an almost unhearable opposition to the Negro; an inlandable block to the nation; an impediment to progress—a ulle enemy to every true interest. "Such men as these should, for the rest of their lives, have the overlasting finger of scorn pointed at their judicial records. We suggest that it is the Christian duty which they should have, to disobserve these cricking cravens of the mantle of office, which they wear with disgrace to themselves, injuz- tie to their black constituents, and administration of justice, everywhere. --- Editor Trouter "Too Full For Utterance." (Boxton Mass. Defender) We shall not, at least this week expiate on the unfortunate out come of Dr. Washington's suit against Albert Ulrich. Its significance is too plain to require explanation. It is too painful a subject. Mr Washington finds himself in no enviable light when his assailant admits thrashing him, and yet the court decides that Dr. Washington gave such kind of provocation by his conduct as to justify the assault. If the court agrees and have Booker Washington goes forth under a cloud. He has done his race a greater injury than any other member of it. His attempted race dictatorship is now entirely uninhabitable. He should retire to his school work. Colorful Folks Should Remember Y Amsterdam News Dr. Washington, however, has earned as never before the approval of every member of his race. White men and colored men of power and prominence had brought a tremendous pressure upon him to quit the case, to refuse to prosecute his assault on the grounds of his position and race harmony. But, listening to the views of the members of his people, for the sake not so much of his own good name as that of his race, he never faltered in the entire ordeal of the tedious prosecution. He did not have the case hushed up. Without malice he insisted upon the court of public knowledge soiling its every detail. He comes away with his Christian character unsullied, the courageous moral leader of his people. Today, as a consequence of his theology and confluence of his race, The acquittal of Ulrich was a monstrous injustice. The vindication of Dr. Washington through the complete publicity of the trial is a source of great satisfaction. Powerful Influences Behind Ulrich. (Philadelphia, Pa., Tribune) On last Monday Dr. Booker T. Washington appeared in court in New York against Ulrich, who assaulted him in March last. While it is true that friends of the accused used their best efforts to get Dr. Washington remanded obarate, and perished in doing all in his power to have it tried in open court. Evidently Dr. Washington was consolon of the roculture of his course on the night of the assault, and, therefore, was perfectly willing that the fullest intents of the assault be carried as far as he was concerned. For this reason Dr. Washington made repeated trips to New York. only to find out that in each visit, for one cause or another, the case, on request of Ulrich's lawyer, was postponed. The lawyer doubtless harboring the thought that Dr. Washington would grow tired of making so many frustless visits to New York and consequently the plaintiffs in the plaintiffs' case that it was his duty to push the case, although he know well that in that city particularly it is not considered a crime for a white man to club a colored man whenever he feels so disposed. Still, he persevered. At the conclusion of the case two of the judges said that they found no evidence of complicity in the third judge's decision because he thought a clear case of brutal assault had been clearly proven. Several points around the trivial showed that the assailant was being cared for by powerful influences, For instance, Ulrich had for his lawyer James I. Moore who is one of the most famous lawyers to the king's work at Tuskegee, and Ulrich the defendant, says that lawyer Moore volunteered his services to defend him. The conclusion one may draw from it is that while Dr. Washington may stand very high in the ranks of the police, he must not harbor the thought that he stands high enough to have a white man sent to jail for slandering him. Unfortunately For Dr. Washington. (Newport New Va Star) The unfortunate incident in which Dr. Booker T. Washington figured in New York, as one of the principals, has been brought to a close by the decision of the judge before whom the case was tried. It was unfortunate because it was exceedingly unwise for Dr. Washington that he allowed himself to go without the company of some friend, into this section of New York city. No matter how urgent the necessity might have been to see the man who was looking, there are many people who believe to believe the story. Dr. Washington's words are gild the incident is closed and give blim credit for the use of better common sense in the future. Still Man of Lofty Life (Nashville, Tenn. National Baptist Union-Review) Booker T. Washington still lives a man of lofty life whose word and character with all fair-minded people stand infinitely above the wilde-ferring Urich, who had his case repeatedly put off on spurious excuses until he felt that he could not afford to walk through the needle's eye of prejudice to acquit, after long waiting, at testimony against which Dr. Washington's testimony would have no chance. Projudice is an awful thing, and perform all sorts of unreasonable capers in the acts and decisions of the dominant powers in cases the black man and white are adversely charged by Judge O'Keefe, like the late Justice Hutchison, the issue on its merits and disengaged. We do no flattering of any man measure or thing, but we do stand by and for the right under any and all conditions, and that is why we are saying this word to the public regarding this worthy, sterling bar of the race, this manly man—Book or T. Washington. Hare Prejudice Figured. (Indianapolis, Ind. World) Last Monday Dr. Bookey'T. Washington faced his assault before three New York municipal judges. The case was decided against Mr. Washington on the ground that the prosecution had not been clearly aware that his elision in no sense weakens Mr. Washington's position. There was never any attempt on the part of the prosecution to evade bringing the culprit to justice. The decision does prove the force of Mr. Washington's testimony to immediately following the unfortunate occurrence. Mr. Washington's prominence was not an asset at the trial. If it had been there would never have been a trial. He did not depend upon that to influence the court to decide the case in his favor regardless of the choice and to evidence. It will be required that the court must uniformly with the assault upon Mr. Washington by Ulrich—he set out the plan that he was defending his home and the honor, of his wife. Subsequent investigations proved that the woman was not Mrs. Ulrich, but an alleged paramour of the assailant. She was not his wife and consequently there was no honor to defend. Her honor, the court is not surprising to those families, is not character of testimony that is likely to come from such an irresponsible and unreliable source. We are satisfied that when Mr. Washington was trying to locate D. C. Smith, auditor for Tuskegee, and attracted the attention of this brute jailor, that the defense of his wife's honor was not an element that entered into the assault. All that Ulrich saw, was a man who would have around the necessary amount of prejudice, which found an outlier in the wedding of a heavy club. All that Washington is guilty of in this case is being a colored man and happened to be in a place on a business mission—u-park where Ulrich thought a Negro had no business. He said, "Any business, any business, because of his color. Laws to Punish, Not to Protect. (Birmingham, Ala., Reporter) From the court's decision of the Washington, the Ulrich case. It would appear to the short sighted and those who are disposed to come to quick and prejudice conclusions, that Ulrich, of New York, was justified in his assault on Dr. Washington, and those who were right or souls anything in the form of a defense against anything that Dr. Washington was doing in and around that building. The facts are as Mr. Washington states thou, and Ulrich was wrong and should have been punished, and the multiplicity of evidence kept in perfect line that Mr. Washington's statements, citing not only the evidence, but to save himself from a punishment that he was justly entitled to have at the discretion of that court. Did we think the courts were going to punish him? has been asked by men high up in social development. Frankly, we did not. And for no other reason than the fact that a woman was a white man to vindicate her he puts in a white woman to make strong his chase of self-defense. Now let us look this thing straight in the face and see would a white man be willing to convict another white man on the testimony of a Negro, though he be Booker T. Washington, against that of a white woman and other white men who were Negroes who had been in this twenty-four hours would say, No, they would not do that. Then, looking at it from the natural position of a white man with a Negro in this country, Mr. Washington could not have hoped to punish Jirlich regardless of the maliciousness of the crime. We must remember once for always that a white man is a white man, wherever found, and he is fast one of the members of that one of the members of their group about to meet public disgrace at the hands of black nigger, though he be the big nigger, Booker T. Was Mr. Washington right in seeing to it that the court go through some form of prosecution? Yes, he could not have done otherwise with the supposed defense this cur had against him. Mr. Washington shows plainly all over this country that the laws are not made to protect the Negro, and we could not have had a plainer demonstration than was shown in the Washington-Ulrich matter in New York city on the day of the trial. The laws are made to punish the Negro, not to protect him. There is not in our opinion a decent white man in all this country, let him be in the North or South, who believes that Ulrich was justified, and certainly not a worse anywhere. Mr. Washington has done what he could, and that's all could be expected of him. Devokl Of Manhood. (St Louis, Mo., Advance) The agony is over *Booker T. W. Washington* loses his case against Ulrich, the New York linger who beat him for peeping through his keyhole and more insistent in the prosecution of the case. We do not rejoice in Washington's dilemma, but we exceedingly regret that a man should assume the leadership who is so devoid of manhood. *Hooker T. W. Washington* seems to be. Editor (Olford Is Suspicious) (Martinsburg, W. Va., Pioneer Press) History, profane and sacred has two purposes to serve. First, to enlighten the people, and second, to sternly warn the world how to avoid similar returns of the past's calamities, and people as well as nations are not only foolish, but wicked who refuse its teachings. Falsehood and truth serve a-purpose for the moral government of humanity akin to history's design, and people ought to know it. He had no good manners at 11—63d street. He said he wont there to see a Mr. Smith who lived there and had telegraphed him to come there. Mr. Smith said he never lived thore 'and had sent him no telegraph to go there. Mr. Washington wiggled out of that dilemma by saying the man had been sent to him from Chicago to New York, and that he lost or tore it up in that city. If that were done, how could he have kept the direct and number in mind all that time? And why did he lurk around that particular place if he had not found the number? Pretty: good evidence that he had been there before to see Mr. Smith (7) and Judging by the seven months' delay, he did not want to face a trial, and only did so because and only because public pressure mediated him. Last March when arrested the said Mr. Smith was the man who booked him to see, and last week he told, then, the court that it was a Mr. McClure he was forging for, and when Wilich's failure led to the person wanted was colored of white, Booker T. (took his lawyer's place, and said to the court; "I don't see the use of such questions." thing. Ulrich heats him last March while he is in the kitchen with the them. With the Mr. Washington doing about his business with closed doors he waits into print to defend himself, making in seven months, three times a pitfallable object of himself. Booker T. Washington knows as well, as do all those detectives who went to *Streetstreet* and found out of his long relationship with that locality—and had it not been for *big* official of, New York, city the whole thing would have been made public long ago. For the president for publication, but the *Big* fellow, told them it would not do, for the President and strong men are backing him. Finally when the four stood firmly for publication the *big* official assured them that if they did they would get no more news, from that place. Booker T. is a guilty man, and the only way it can hurt the Negroes is for them to cover it over and he him out. Did Breckenridge hurt the white man? Did the *Nagos* false leader. It is up to him to alone to God for his own sins, and until he does, every decent colored woman in America should ronn on him. ```markdown ``` Confectioner Shoots Himself Through Brain While Family Is Near, Died Almost instantly, Children Rush Upstairs When They Heard Report and Find Lifeless Body. Standing in the upper hallway of his home, at 914 West Cary street, Philip Sota, confectioner, shot himself through the brain at 10:48 o'clock last night, and died almost instantly. At the time all the family except the smaller children, who were asleep in their apartments upstairs, were seated in the kitchen. Sota had just left the store and ascended the stairway to his bedroom. As those in the kitchen sat talking they heard the report of a pistol shot and then the dull sound of a falling body. Together they rushed upstairs. Tony, the eldest boy, is on crutches, and made his way painfully. Minute, young woman, the oldest daughter, was the first to reach her father's side. She found him lying in a pool of blood. QUICK CALLS FOR HELP. with agonized screams she ran to him and fell on her knees by his body. She placed her hand above his heart and found it was still beating faintly. Mrs. Seta, who had followed the other patient out of aloud, and the Google and Steele who were not far distant, heard the screams. They ran to the house and then summoned the ambulance. But a member of the family had called Dr. Fred E. Steere, of 1102 West Main street, when he met the patient and pronounced Seta dead; and the city ambulance was notified that it was not necessary for one of the City hospital physicians to come. Captain McMahon was on his way home when a report of the suicide reached him. He at once wont to house and conducted an examination. BROODED OVER SECRET TROUBLE. In the meantime Dr. Steere had called Coroner Taylor. The coroner made an examination of the body and questioned all members of the family as to any possible motive which Seta could have had to cause him to end his life. They could assign none. They said, however, that he had been brooding over some secret trouble, and had been in a moody condition for a week or more. So far as they knew, it was said he had no trouble, and his desirous life was all that could be desired. It was slated later, however, that he had been swinging a hill since last December, and it was thought perhaps this might have affected his mind. Sota left his store and went upstairs, passing the kitchen, without speaking a word. But it was his custom every night to go to his room and deposit the earings of the day, and no attention was paid to him as he passed to his room. But he never entered. His body was found with the head resting along the bulb, and his feet lying against the wall. Blood oozed from a wound in his right ear. The revolver was found near the body and the right hand. A bag of money was also found nearby. CLEAR CASE OF SUICIDE. The door at the foot of the stairway was found to have been locked for the night, and, after a minute examination, it was the opion of Coronor Taylor and the police authorities that it was a plain case of suicide. The pistol—an Iver-Johnson of 38-collbre—was identified by the son as being his father's weapon, which he kept with him in the store where he lived. We saw his room on every night. One cartridge was found indented and had been fired. Mrs. Sota collapsed and became hysterical. One of the little girls awakened from her sleep, ran down into the store and sobbed there until she was taken away. Messages, were immediately sent to the nearest relatives—James, Joseph and Stephie Cardora, brothers of Mrs. Sota, who at once came to the store to see Augusta Trienzi, a sister of Mrs. Coronor Taylor turned the body over to Undertaker Kain to be prepared for burial.
