PLANET VOLUME XXIX. NUMBER 11. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1912. PRICE, FIVE CENTS. GRAND WORTHY MASTER GRIFFIN KILLED IN A RAILROAD SMASH. CARRIED TO PETERSBURG. He had been removed to the Petersburg Hospital in an unconscious condition and when he died, his effects were examined and his identity established. The surgery explained the delay by stating that they were interested in trying to save his life first and find out who he was afterwards. Mr. Griffin was travelling in the colored section of the train next to the baggage coach and was the only passenger of color. The colored porter, Mr. J. W. Brown of Roanoke was in the compartment with him and both were fatally injured Grand Wor thy Master Griffin was unmarried. The porter had just purchased a cozy home in Roanoke where he lived with his family. THE CORONER'S INQUEST. Mr. A. D. Price, Funeral Director was given charge of the remains Grand Worthy Secretary J. Frank Douglas was practically in charge of the arrangements and went over with Grand Worthy Treasurer William H. Smith and others on Tuesday morning. The Coroner delayed action, that is holding an autopsy over the remains until 4:30 Tuesday and it was after 8 o'clock before the remains were brought to Richmond. It was a peculiar sight as the Price undertaking wagon backed up at the ware-rooms on last Tuesday night bearing two bodies, one that had come in to him from Georgia on the same trai. A crowd gathered quickly and readily mistook the body of the lady for that of Grand Worthy Master Griffin. His remains had been carried in first and placed with a rear room, where at about 8:50 the box was opened and there was W. K. Griffin as natural as in Life. He almost were a smile upon his appearance and it seemed that he was in an amusing conversation with his companion when he was killed. There was no sign of trouble, none of fear. He had entered peacefully into that eternal rest promised to the mints. "We must get to work," was the laconic remark of Funeral Director Price. This laconic remark was taken as a hint to retire and all left the work room. THE CAUSE OF DEATH. Mr. Griffin's death was due to a fracture of the head at the base of the brain. He was not mutilated in any way, whatever. In fact, by opening his eyes h's features would have looked so lifelike that no one would have believed that it was taken after death. It was Wednesday afternoon when this same fine funeral director's wagon conveyed the remains to the room adjoining the old True Reform Revival Bank and was laid out in state with bare draperies all about and palms of the hand and foot and surrounded no remains to add to the funeral beauty of the same. The christening was lying in the midst of his former activities and the crowd penned in and out with bowed hands. He had made many friends here and they all came to do honor to his memory. race leaders had gathered there to do homage to the fallen chieftain. PROMINENT LEADERS THERE. Among those there were Rev.

His Christian example is seen and known by all. He spoke from the following scriptural selections: "Arise and depart for this is not your rest for it will destroy you with the sword of destruction."—Mat. 3:10 "Except a corn of wheat fall, etc." John 12:24.

The divine areas to periods of govine elogueship and when he declared that he was out of the gunnest of the Devil, and the stone's throw of wicked men; there were scounders of approval.

He pledged his support if the policles of Griffin were carried out. He had heard that there were some there who were somewhat elated over the death of Griffin and regarded it as an omen that a different policy would be pursued. He declared that if the True Reformer officials would carry out Griffin's policy the people would be with them. Rev. R. G. Adams of Farmville, stated that Grand Worthy Master W. R.

Editor, Richmond PLANET: To-day, I happened to glance at the Richmond Times-Dispatch during the recess of the court at Yorktown and learned for the first time of the accident on the Norfolk and Western railroad, which resulted in the death of Grand Worthy Master W. R. Griffin of the True Reformers. The intelligence of this sad happening shocked and distressed me beyond expression. Mr. Griffin had in a large measure many of the elements of a great leader. His soul was possessed of the pioneer spirit and he was courageous almost to a fault. He was a man of sterling honesty and very firm and fixed convictions. He was enthusiastic, zealous and withal a fighter, and he will be sincerely missed and mourned for by the entire brotherhood. His death will recall the great investigation carried on last Summer by Griffin Ross. Humbles and myself. vestigation carried on last Summer by Griffin, Rosa, Humbles and myself. I shall never forget those trying days. The Grand Fountain was maked inga desperate battle for corporate existence. Fearful wrongs had been done the people and there was a loud call from the entire Negro race for the indictment and punishment of the guilty. To get together and arrange the evidence was a task that would have staggered and discouraged the weak and hesitating. But W. R. Griffin was tireless. Day in and day out, late and early, in sunshine and storm, he kept his task with a faithfulness and idelity almost sublime. We worked together. Great throups poured out to the public meetings. A running fire was kept up until the indictments were found. August 20th came. Griffin was my candidate. I raised my voice above the noise and fears of his enemies and nominated him and fought for him until his last foe fled defeated from the field. From that moment, every machination of those who found Griffin and myself working together, was brought into play to tear us asunder. Our break is known to the whole race. Probably it was for the beast. God knows. No two other men living knew as much about the tangled affairs of the True Reformers as Mr. Griffin and myself, and it was a masterly stroke of the enemy to have us at each others throats. Mr. Griffin has answered the last roll, call but if his departed soul is conscious of what goes on below, I believe he will be happy to know that the prosecution of the accused officers will go on, with all the aid I can render, until the honor of the race is vindicated and the guilty receive their just deserts. My sorrow over the loss of Mr. Griffin is genuine, but God lives and the Grand Fountain still remains. Marriage Announcement. The marriage of Mrs. Alex. Robbinsa to Mr. Edward Garrott took place Thursday afternoon, January 18, 1912 at her friend's residence in South Richmond in the presence of a few of her most intimate friends.

ELLA JOHNSON BURN TO DEATH Colored Scamstress Will Not Recover From Fearful Wounds. Catching fire, apparently from the grate in her room, Mrs. Ella Johnson wife of Mr. D. Wade Johnson, living at 1000 N. Ist St. was so seriously burned last Thursday night that physicians attending her say that recovery is impossible. Every stitch of clothing on her body, except a collar she wore around her neck, was burned. No'gh born saw the smoke and rushed into the house. They were too late. They found Mrs. Johnson lying on the floor, flames still streaming upward from her form. The calling was on fire, and an alarm was turned in from Second and Bates Strokes. Assistant Chief Wise responded with an engine and a truck, but the flames were extinguished before the firemen arrived. Chief Wise telephoned for the city ambulance, and Dr. Hulcher answered. He found Mrs. Johnson in such a dangerous condition that it was impossible to remove her. He applied every known remedy, and left her in charge of a colored physician. It was said last night that her condition was hopeless. Mr. Johnson is a liveryman and has his teams and carriages at this residence where his wife met her death. He has the sympathy of the community. Funeral Notice The funeral of Rev. Royal Smith, who died Monday night, February 5th, will take place from Quilecison Baptis Church, Sunday at 12 o'clock.

An Unsung Song Prevented Panic When Lincoln Was Shot 1 WILLIAM WITHERS, LEADER OF THE ORCHESTRA IN FORD'S THEATER THE NIGHT LINCOLN WAS ASSASSINATED. William Witbers, Leader of the Orchestra In Ford's Theater, Tells Experiences BY JOHN W. LAWRENCE (Copyright, 1821 by American Press Association) WILLIAM WITHERS, who was the leader of the orchestra in Ford's theater in Washington at the time Abraham Lincoln was assassinated and who met Booth a few seconds after he had given the president his death wound, is lying at Rye Beach, N. Y. He is an accomplished musician and is a master of several instruments and for a number of years was leader of the orchestra in Daly's theater, New York. "Some time before that fatal 14th of April, 1865," said the musician, "I had composed music to the words of a poem entitled 'Honor to Our Soldiers,' and it had been sung in public on one or two occasions with remarkable success. This song was directly responsible for my meeting with John Wilkes Booth a moment after his attack on the president, and I might say it almost cost me my life. When it was announced in the newspapers of Washington that Lincoln intended to witness a performance of 'Our American Cousin' I decided. WILLIAM WITHERS, LEADER OF THEATER THE NIGHT LINCOLN ed that it would be particularly fitting to have my song rendered between the acts, and H. Clay Foul approved this. "I hired a male quartet, and when Miss Keene, who was appearing in the leading part in the play, heard a rehearsal of the song she volunteered to assist in the chorus with her entire company. It was finally decided that the song be given between the first and second acts. "On the night of the performance the presidential box, which under ordinary conditions was used as two separate stalls, was thrown open into one compartment and smothered in the national colors. Before going to the music room I stepped next door to a saxoon frequented by actors and employees of the theater. "When I entered, the very first person I met was John Wilkes Booth. He was standing at 'the bar in his shirt sleeves, his coat thrown over one arm and his hat in his hand. There were several men with him, and they were laughing and joking. When Booth saw me he cried, 'Hello, Billy; come have a drink with me.' "We drank together, and during the conversation one of the party laughingly remarked that Booth would never be as great as his father. I remember seeing an incessant smile fit across his face as he replied. When I leave the stage for good I will be the most famous man in America.' The statement had no significance for me at the time, but I remembered it later. "After the overture and before the curtain went up on the first act I noticed Booth in the rear, leaning against the last row of orchestra chairs. The first act had not progressed very far when I board cheering. I knew what that meant and gave the sign to the members of my orchestra to play 'Hail to the Chief.' Of course, there was lots of excitement, and men and women stood up and cheered for the crowd. "An Italian climbed the stairs to the first balcony the orchestra increased, and he bowed twice to the audience. He disappeared in the question and became and took a seat a second later in the left corner of the box. Narrowly Escaped Death From Dagger Wielded by Booth as He Escaped Across Stage song was to be sung, I was called for the speaking tube by the stage manager, Mr. J. B. Wright, and was requested to play, my entrance music, as Miss Keene, was not ready to assist in my song, but probably would be at the end of the second act. Toward the end of the second act I saw Booth in the balcony, apparently deeply interested in the play. "When the second act was over I was informed again through the speaking tube that Miss Keene was not ready to do her part in the song. Feeling vexed at this, I went behind the scenes to find out why the extra feature had been slighted. To reach the stage I had to take an underground passage to a stairway in the rear of the building. I found Mr. Wright in one of the wings with several members of the company about him. When I approached a scene shifter named Spangler got in my way, and as I asked him to move he turned on me suddenly and snarled. What do you want here? "I was taken aback at this sudden display of temper, as I had always OF THE ORCHESTRA IN FORD'S NICOLN WAS ASSASSINATED. Found him a quiet and altogether inoffensive sort of man. I told him I was not there on any business, that concerned him and again asked him to move. He stepped to one side reluctantly as I advanced to the manager's side, and before I said anything regarding the song I pulled the cover over a box on the brick wall called the governor, which contained a lever controlling all the gaslights in the house. I rested my arm against the cover and made inquiries about my song. "Mr. Wright said that Miss Keene was so nervous and was trying so hard to give a good performance that her promise to assist in the extra feature and slipped her memory. I became disgusted with the whole affair and started back to the orchestra. I had reached the stairway lending to the underground passage and had taken two steps downward when I heard the report of a pistol. "I knew there were no firearms used in the play and started to retrace my steps to the manager to find out what the trouble was. When I approached the narrow entrance where Mr. Wright had been standing only a few seconds before I heard a dull thud as though some one had fallen on the stage. Just as I was about to step into the wing I heard an iron bar strike the brick wall and fall to the floor. Somebody cursed fiercely—there was a stumbling rush—and I faced Booth, the assassin! "Should I live a thousand years I shall never forget that ten seconds of my life that was spent between Booth and his liberty. 'His eyes seemed starting from their sockets. In his left hand was a long dagger, while with his right he seemed to be balancing himself against the brick wall. Behind the murderer I saw the iron bar used to control the lights lying on the floor. He glared at me like a wild Beast for a second or two and then with lowered hand and with arms flying he made a rush at me. "Let me pawn! he beheaded. Let me pawn! and with the dagger made a dangerous bump at me, the alarm blinds slipping through the collar of my arm, penetrating my underarm and flipping a thud behind in my arm." Blood six inches long. This bible me swimming on the floor, and he made a death for the stage door, through which I caught a glimpse of a hearse head and a young fellow known as 'Tennant John' holding it by the hind. The next thing I knew a defensive shamed Stewart ran over me and disappeared out the stage door only a few seconds after Booth had closed it. Harry Hawk and several members of the company went stumbling over me in a rush to get to their dressing room. Finally a detective picked me up, and I asked him what had happened. He didn't answer, but led me to the stage, which was now crowded with people, and pointing to the president's box said, 'Look there,' both there! I looked and saw Lincoln, with his head resting on the back of his chair, apparently dead. His wife was bathing his face with her handkerchief and Miss Laura Keene stood near with a pitcher in her hand. The detective hissed in my ear. The president is dying—shot by an assassin! The horror and the pity of it all rushed upon me like a great black cloud, and I wept. I recovered myself and told the detective to take me to police headquarters, ab I had important information. "The most sorrowful night I ever beheld was when the president was carried up the aisle that only a short time before he had walked down smiling and bowing. The audience that had cheered was now crying; the handkerchiefs that had waved enthusiastically were now wet with tears. "The president was taken to Mr. Peterson's house, opposite the theater, and put to bed in a room occupied by John Matthews, a member of Miss Koenic's company, where he died at 7:30 the next morning. "When I reached the street with the detective there was a great mob in front of the theater, and as they caught sight of us there were cries of 'Kill him! Lyndh bim! Hang him!' and the threats were nearly carried out before it was made known that I was not the man who had killed the president. When we arrived at police headquarters I was taken before Mayor Wallack of Washington, who questioned me closely and to whom I told my story. "My wound was examined and attended to, and after I had given all the information I could Mayor Wallack told me I would be detained overnight, but to go home in the morning and stay there, because if Booth had friends on Washington they would endeavor to put me out of the way if they thought I had any valuable information. "There were a great number of conspirators arrested, and I was animated to appear at the trial, which was held in the arsenal in the navy yard. Spangler, the scene shifter, was sentenced to serve a term at Dry Tortoise gas. After serving his time he returned to his home in Brooklyn, where he became ill. Before he died he was interviewed by a reporter on the staff of the Brooklyn Eagle. He stated then that I probably saved the lives of many people in the audience by appearing when I did and asking him to move away from the governor, as his part in the plot was to turn off all the lights in front of the stage when he heard the pistol shot. When I pulled the cover over the governor Spangler did not have time to get back and turn the lights off before Booth's pistol was fired. Booth in his wild dash to escape, seeing that the lights were still on in the auditorium, must have tried to turn the gas off himself and in his excitement wrenched the lever from its place, and it struck the wall in falling to the door." Mr. Witthers carries a scar on his neck about four inches long as a reminder of his encounter with Booth. The coat that he wore on that night has been promised to the government on his death. There is not much of the garment left now, as it has been much hacked by relic seekers. MR. BRYAN'S ESTIMATE OF LINCOLN'S ORATORY. In analyzing Lincoln's characteristics as a speaker one is impressed with the completeness of his equipment. He possessed the two things that are absolutely essential to effective speaking—namely, information and earnestness. If one can be called eloquent who knows what he is talking about and means what he says—and I know of no better definition—Lincoln's speeches were eloquent. He was thoroughly informed upon the subject; he was prepared to meet his opponent upon the general proposition discussed or upon any deductions which could be drawn from it. There was no unexplored field into which his adversary could lead him. He had carefully examined every foot of the ground and was not afraid of pitfall or ambush, and, what was equally important, he spoke from his own heart to the hearts of those who listened.—W. J. Bryan. Indict Three For Coasteville Lynching. In the Chester county criminal court at West Chester, Pa., the January grand jury found true bills against Lewis Deanthorne, John Conrad and Louis Keyser, the three young men of Coasteville who were charged with murder in connection with the lynching of Zach Walker, the colored man, who was dragged from the Coasteville hospital and burned on a fire of fence rails and straw on Sunday night, Aug. 13 last. The three young men have been in jail for three months. It is probable their cases will be continued. Uncover Crusader's Church.

Accused Are Mostly Labor Union Officials and Warrants Are to Be Served in Various Parts of the Country. The federal grand jury in Indianapolis, Ind., which has been investigating the dynamiting outrages in all parts of the country for six weeks returned thirty-two indictments in the federal court. The grand jury was not discharged, and it is understood, although permitted to go to their homes, their work is not yet done. Other cases, which it is deemed better to go over for a short time, will be taken up later. The thirty-two indictments do not mean that only thirty-two labor leaders have been indicted for some of the indictments are for conspiracy and there are as many as three or four defendants named in them. It is believed that a number of persons indicted will not fall short of fifty and it may exceed that number. The indictments are all in the dynamiting cases and in the conspiracy cases, several persons are involved and it is also certain that some of the defendants are named in more than one indictment, as evidence has been produced showing that some of the persons who will be arrested, not only conspired to transport explosives unlawfully, but personally assisted in the unlawful transportation. As a result of the grand jury investigation, it is said, grounds for only two charges in connection with the dynamite cases were established. One of these is for violating the statute which provides that it shall be unlawful to transport dynamite or other explosives on a passenger train engaged in interstate commerce, and the other is the violation of the conspiracy statute. The unlawful transportation statute has a penalty of not more than eighteen months imprisonment and a $200 fine for each offence, the penalty attached to the conspiracy statute is two years imprisonment. Implicated by the evidence which the government has spent months in examining are believed to be many men active in the iron workers' local unions in numerous cities, who, although well known among members of their own craft, are not widely known in the country. The list of men who will be obliged to stand trial here however, is thought to include several of the Iron Workers' who are widely known in labor circles. Just when the arrests will be made is said to be unknown even to federal officials, although the latter have a pretty well defined idea as to the time. There remains considerable work to be done in getting certifications of the indictments, which the law requires shall be sent to the districts in which defendants are arrested. Time will be required also in getting the caplays into the hands of United States marshals and government agents in the different districts. Milwaukee, Chicago, New York, Boston, Cleveland, Peoria, San Francisco, Kansas City, Omaha, Pittsburgh, New Orleans, Buffalo, Detroit, Philadelphia, Indianapolis and St. Louis are among the cities in which arrests are expected although the government has been making an especial effort to keep secret the names of the men involved. It is said that the possible connection of numerous men with the dynamic conspiracy has been investigated, but that because of lack of sufficient evidence, it was not thought advisable to indict these men. BURNED TO DEATH IN MID-AIR Lineman, Flipping From Pole, Grabs Live Wire, With Fatal Result. William Zeigler, twenty-nine years old, a lineman for the York Haven Power company, was literally burned to death in York, Pa., while adjusting a crossbar on a pole near Farquhar park. Zeigler's foot slipped and he grabbed a live wire to keep himself from falling. Townty-four hundred volts shot through his body, and he dangled in the air while the current was roasting him to death. Find $50,000 Bank Sherritage. Announcement was made that a shortage of at least $50,000 had been found in the accounts of Fred Standard, head bookkeeper of the American National bank in Pomona, Cal. Standard and his wife left the city several days ago. GEN. JAMES B. WEAVER DIES Was Twice Candidate For President of United States. General James B. Weaver died at the home of his daughter in Dew Mohes, in., and seventy-nine years. General Weaver served with distinction in the Civil War, and was a member of the Forty-sixth, Forty-ninth and Fifth congresses. In 1880 he was Greenback nominee for the presidency of the United States, and as the People's Party nominee for the same office in 1880 he received twenty-two electoral votes. Pension For Veteran at E. Francis Joseph, ninety-two years of age, of William-Burton, Pa., who served in the army four years during the Civil War, has received his first pension of $500 a month. He was in good health until recently. Being able to work, he did not apply for a pension. The information of age, however, compares him finally to such and from the government.

The bodies of Noble and his bride of a month were found in their New York apartments at $2 West Twelfth street. The couple had been sphynxiated by gas. The suicide pact, the discovery of its results by Mrs. John J. White, of Washington, mother of Mrs. Noble, and other features of the case, were startled. Mrs. White, who has an apartment on Lexington avenue, had her daughter as a visitor on Saturday night, and supposed that the daughter would remain over night. When Mrs. White awoke in the morning she found that her daughter had fied the house, and she hurried immediately to the daughter's apartment on West Twelfth street in her automobile. She became alarmed when there was no answer to her repeated knocks and summoned two policemen, who forced an entrance. The entrance door had been bagcaded with chairs and tables, and the doors of all the rooms of the large apartment also were locked and barricaded. When the party forced its way to the diningroom the odor of gas was first detected and the mother became hysterical. Breaking through the next door, which led into the kitchen, the party found Noble and his wife lying dead on the floor, their heads almost inside the oven of the gas range. They were partly undressed and claused in each other's arms. A few minutes after the discovery, Mrs. Noble's former husband, Walter Lapenard Suydam, a millionaire, was mummoned by telephone and arrived quickly in his automobile. He was much affected by the news of the suicide of the woman. He was not allowed to view the body, which was later given over to the custody of the mother. Employees of the apartment house said that Suydam frequently had risied his divorced wife since her marriage to the young plumber. When asked what he thought might have been the motive of the suicide pact, Suydam said: "I can't tell you anything. She is not mino now, and I am only here as a friend to see what I can do." Suydam picked up in the apartment a check for $110 which he said his former wife had told him she had drawn on his account. He put the check in his pocket. In the absence of explanatory notes the motive for the double suicide will probably never be known. The woman was still in the twenties. She was married to Suydam about nine years ago and the couple made their home on a magnificent estate at Blue Point, Long Island. Mrs. Suydam had a strong intellect and moved in the upper circles of society. Early last fall sensational reports developed regarding her mysterious disappearance. The sensation was heightened when it turned out that she had deserted her wealthy husband and magnificent home to be with Noble, son of a Brooklyn plumber. Noble was learning the plumbing trade. Suydam instituted divorce proceedings and obtained a divorce. The divorced wife afterward married the plumber's son. The wedding took place in Jersey City a month ago and the couple established the home where the suicide pact terminated the romance. Minera Are Determined. The anthracite mine workers' delegates who returned from the Indianapolis convention report that President White will go to Wilkes-Barre Pa., on Feb. 25 to make the final arrangements for conferring with the coal operators relative to the presentation of the mine workers' demands. A meeting is to be held here on Feb. 24, and President White, accompanied by the district presidents, will go to New York to present the demands on Feb. 27. Local men say there will be no change in the nature of the demands and that they will continue to insist upon the 20 per cent increase in wages and the abolition of the consolidation board. They believe that the operators will grant them some concessions after they ascertain how determined the mine workers are to gain them. Jumps From Stations of Liberty. Having rushed his life many times in climbing the Suspension of the Stinger and Fulton buildings and other high altitude scaffolds, "People Jack" Law... jumps P. R. Law... known to tel- Miss Bain recounts an up initial cost payment, parcelled from the area of the State of Liberty in New York state before a select crowd and a giving picture meeting. Looking for something new, the picture people suggested this jump to Law, who said it made little difference to him, so long as he was high in the air for a time, and also so long as there was an element of danger in the street. Armed with a special permit, Law went up in the State of Liberty, as- cending to the arm—for which part of the state he had to have his special permit. Jumping, he left the arm of "Miss Liberty" and gave the parachute a jerk. He fell down before it opened. That he fell slowly and gracefully to the ground. As he neared the ground he waved his hand to those gathered around the base of the state. There was a moment of alarm as he came down because the freshening wind drove him toward the water. Fortunately the wind bulled and he landed on the stone embankment. Part of the Maine Fleeted. The wreck of the battleship Maine in Havana harbor in afloat, or rather the after half of the ship, which has been bulkheaded. There is sixteen feet of water in the cofferdam, across which Major Ferguson, the chief engineer, made a blastion earth embankment so as to float the after half, while leaving the forward part unattached. The cutting away of the wreckage was then compiled and the after half of the Maine floated at a point where the depth of water in the harbor is thirty-five feet. The list of the vessel of six and a half feet on the port side was reduced to three feet, and the ship will soon rest on an even keel and will then be ready to be towed out to a point where the sea is deep and there buried. Three more bodies were recovered from the crew section in the bow, making six additional bodies that have been found recently. EDWIN HAWLEY. Railroad King Who Died After a Long Illness. PETER H. Submarine Lost With Entire Crew. The British submarine "A 3" sank after a collision with the British torpedo gunboat Hazard, off the eastern end of the Isle of Wight. The submarine's crew of fourteen, ten sailors and four officers, perished. Besides the regular crew of ten men and a Leutenant who were on board the "A 3," three other lieutenants were on the vessel going through a course of instruction. Torpedo practice had been in progress for some time and the submarine "A 3" was partially submerged when she came into collision with the Hazard. The gunboat was steaming at a fairly high rate of speed, and when she struck the submarine her bows cut a big rent in the little vessel's side. As the "A-3" settled down, which she did in a few moments, and then disappeared, air and gas bubbles appearing on the surface told the crew of the Hazard that she was filling with water, and that the fate of the four officers and ten men of her crew was sealed The Hazard, however, throw, out life boats and launched boats in case any of the men should succeed in escaping, but none came to the surface. Edwin Hawley Dies in New York. Edwin Hawley, chairman of the Minneapolis & St. Louis railroad and one of the leading railroad magnates in this country, died at his home in New York after an illness of several weeks, aged sixty-two years. Mr. Hawley, had been a sufferer from nervous indigestion for some time, and for the last few weeks had been confined to his home at 19 East Sixth Street. Frequent reports that his condition was serious were denied, and only Wednesday Mr. Hawley said that he hoped to be downtown within a week or so. He was seized with heart failure and his death followed. Hawley's fortune is variably estimated at from $40,000,000 to $75,000,000. Railroads known as the Hawley lines are the Cheesapeake & Ohio, Chicago & Alton, Hocking Valley, Minneapolis & St. Louis, Missouri, Kansas & Texas, Iowa Central, St. Louis & San Francisco, Chicago & Eastern Illinois, Colorado & Southern, Colorado Midland, Des Moines & Fort Dodge Browneville & Terre Haute, Kansas City, Fort Scott & Memphis, Toledo St. Louis & Western. MacFarland Quality of Murder. The jury in the case of Allison M. MacFarland in Newark, N. J., brought in a pursuit of murder in the first degree, after a deliberation of more than twelve hours. Allison M. MacFarland was found guilty of causing the death of his wife Grynn, who drank crushed ice of poison paint up the staircase of Oct. 17. Nor- Fisher admitted that he had brought his patient to the house and had placed R in a humidia hotel. The jury found that he did so with intention to cause her death. The pro- secution denied that MacFarlane's in- firmation for a Philadelphia woman named in the case as Florenan Brom- ley, furnished the motive. CHARLES W. MILLER.

Morse is rapidly recovering and that he will soon be on his way to Carlsbad have been scanned with much interest in official circles in Washington, especially about the White House and the department of justice. Officials will not make comment for publication, but it is clear they are watching the progress of the ex-prisoner's health with a certain antitely, disliking to be put in the light of having been "gold bricked" through being imposed on by representations that Morse was already at death's door. It is declared by the officials that they have no reason to suppose that anything but truthful reports were made to them of the condition of Morse. President Taft and Attorney General Wickersham satisfied themselves he was a very sick man. His improvement is attributed to the fact he is relieved from the mental burden of worry and disgrace. At the same time, officials doubt greatly whether he will ever be a well man. It is impossible to keep down gossip that Morse has been shamming and that the government officials have been imposed on, but this they will not admit. In any event, officials feel that it would be better for Morse to recover after release than to have had his case drag along until death had gripped him as it did John R. Walsh Gives Birth to Four Chil There were born on Tuesday to the wife of J. T.

He allows that he is captain of a sailing vessel, which according to his letters has been lost near Thimble 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 advises the money. He never comes back to see K the money comes as he directs.

SATURDAY...FEBRUARY 10, '12 The True Reformers are having a hard time of it, but they have no need to lose hope. If they will do right and pray right, all things will come right in their own time. --- Major Gaynor of New York is accredited with telling the schoolchildren how to boll an egg. Down here the question is, how to get an egg to boll, with the price of "then fruit" sixty cents per dozen. Mr. Floyd Ross, the Grand Worthy Master is a "seasoned" official and should be able to take up the work of the Order where Griffin left off. There is no need for fear and no reason for faltering. Hon. William J. Bryan seems to have come to the conclusion that he will either get his man in the White House from the Democratic side of the contention or keep any other Democrat from landing the coveted position. It is now announced that President Taft has decided to let Judge Hook remain in Kansas on account of a prejudiced decision rendered by him some time ago in a "Jim Crow" case. If this report is true, it will do more to rally the colored voters in the doubtful States and in the Southland than a thousand speeches could do in the next six months. It looks to us as though the country or rather the Republican part of it must take either President Taft or ex President Roosevelt. The business interests that fear Roosevelt are now rallying behind Mr. Taft. If Gov. Harmon of Ohio is nominated by the Democrats, the indications are that these same interests will leave Mr. Taft and back the Democratic nominee from the Buck-ee State. --- THR FALLEN CHIEPTAIN. The death of W. R. Griffin, Grand Worthy Master of the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers came like a thunderbolt from a clear sky. It emphasized the uncertainty of life, while at the same time bundling a shock through this struggling organization which has shaken it from center to circumference. He had no permeated the brotherhood and sisterhood with his energetic spirit and characteristic attainments that to see the one was to think of the other. His death at this time is particularly unfortunate. Had he died later it would have been all the more unfortunate. His earnestness and innate ability made him a striking figure and inspired confidence in his followers. It must be admitted that his death is a staggering blow to the Order of True Reformers, but the injury is in no wise vital. Mr. Floyd Ross of St. Louis, Missour is a successor, who if we are to judge by his past actions, will carry out reliably every policy and principle for which W. R. Griffin stood. These are and times for the True Reformers, but if they will redouble their efforts, get closer together, avoid petty bickering and personal strife, the Order will emerge from its present predicament stronger and more energetic and as necessary result show to the world that its fallen chieftain did not die in vain. We hope that the members of the Order throughout the country will profit by their past experiences and heed the instructions of those trusted leaders whom W. R. Griffin has left behind. We extend our sympathy, too, to the leader upon whom the mantle of office has fallen. His responsibilities will equal if not exceed those of the official whom he is succeeding. 'If he will invoke divine guidance and keep his eyes upon the barometer of truth and the compass of justice, all will be well with him. We mourn with the felends and family of W. R. Griffin. We sympathize with the Order, for which he so faithfully labored and we hope that with the cessation of the storm the roof of the elemen's calm and sunshine will come and that the vessel of the True Reformers will reach the harbor of tranquility at last, the haven of prosperity for all of its members. FARMVILLE VA. NEWS. Fairville, Va., Feb 5, 1947 Hon W. R. Griffin G. W. M. of K. O. True Reformers was billed to speak at the A. M. K. Church at the close of the morning service. Roy Flood, pastor. Rey R. G. Adam, had been requested to be present and introduce the speaker. At the close of services of First Baptist church quite a number of members and friends went over to hear the distribu- tional gentleman, the pioneer of the great institution. Mr. P. B. Hastraist presided with the University of the late parliamentar- ian Rebel of Maine. Rey Adams in a few choice words spoke of the bright future of the institute on dem- onstrated within the last five months under the leadership of this good and great man.

Mr. Griffin is indeed an excellent speaker.

Cordelle, Gn., Jan 30.—A mob of 500 men to-day stormed the fall where Albert Hamilton, the colored assailant of a white girl, was confined, took him forth and hanged him to a tree. Troops ordered here failed to arrive in time to save the man's life. m Hamilton's arrest resulted after a young white woman of a prominent Cordelle family had been attacked in the city's principal residence section. As the girl walked along the street behind a man, dragged behind a high fence, a short distance from a number of officers. When she recovered officers, aided by citizens began a search for the man. Hamilton was arrested late at night and it is declared the young woman positively identified him.

(a white man) and a native of Austria and Illinois Houston (colored) were married Wednesday noon, January 26th on board the steamer Chelsea, arrives to Catalina. The ceremony was per formed on the high seas fifteen miles from San Pedro by the Rev. Joseph Joseph Church. This in one of the startling instances on the Pacific Coast. The laws of California do not permit a marriage between the Negroes and whites. Like all other States it makes laws to protect the white citizens in a large measure, but fails to deal justly with their less fortunate brother. In many cases where a man has an highest and noblest that's in us he has dodged the issue by saying the State law is against intermarriage. This is one white man who is man enough to acknowledge to the world that his choice for a life companion is a typical Negro woman. Whereas the United States has not made law the United States has not made law that all men and races have a right under the projection of the United States to be recognized as such; therefore the marriage between those concerned, as citizens of the United States is in keeping with the same. The State of California therefore must be treated with care in case Mr. and Mrs. Con are residing at No. 600 New High Street, Los Angeles. The groom is 36 years old and the bride is 19. One of the most representative and influential organizations in Los Angeles for civil righteousness, is the Ministerial Federation, of which the Rev. Dr. J. D. Gordon of the Tahiracle Baptist Church is the presiding officer and the Rev. J. Gordon Mo Pipher is the efficient Secretary. Rev. Dr. J. T.

Your representative was a pleasant visitor at the last meeting and was recorded the usual press courteses. The topic of the day was discussed by the Rev. Dr. W. J. J. Byers of the A. M. E.

The speaker was warmly compli- The Federation can boast of being the largest non-sterilized body ofcolored preachers in the Southwest and the largest in the Northeast for the upholding of the race. ATTORNEY NEWSOME EXPLAINS (Check You Be Reinstated) Editor The Richmond PLANET Richmond, Virginia In your last issue you stated that the suits brought by the Grand Mountain of the United Order of the True Reformers against W. P. Burrell, et al. had been disbanded for an extent and we it in no who pre- policies the rights of the Grand Mountain. Section 2214 of the Code of Virginia is as follows: "If one month lapse after the process is returned executed to as any one or more of the defendants, without the declar- ation of the Clerk, shall enter the suit dismissed, although none of the defendants have appeared." AUTHORITIES QUOTED Concerning this statute, in Lapcomb's Admir' V. Winston, I. Hen. & M. 462, Judge Tucker says "That the restatement of a cause (which may have been dismissed at rules for want of a declaration) at the next Court may be generally regarded as a matter of course." And in Buchanan V. King's Heirs, 22 Grat. 111, it is held that while "It is the duty 'of the Clerk to dismiss the suit when the process is served and the bill is not filed in the time prescribed by the statute, yet if the bill is filed before an order of dismissal is entered, and the defendant answers without insisting upon the dismissal the case, and consents to a hearing of the case, he thereby waives the objection." There has been no decision in this State overruling the above authorities, the O'Flarency case recently decided by our Court of Appeals not being entirely in point. Very truly. J. THOS. NEWSOME Baby Screw Man Beat Wife and Kill Self. Portland, Oregon, Jan. 31.—An a result of a quarrel over their three-year-old daughter, Merley, Charles Brown, a grocer, aged 32, in dead Wednesday—a suicide: his wife is at St. Vincent's hospital suffering from three big scalp wounds, and the baby is in the care of neighbors. The baby was the only witness to the struggle. According to Mrs. Brown, her husband became enraged and chased her in bedroom where he struck her several blows on the head with a hammer, knocking her unconscious. The baby said the father worked for some time to resuscitate the mother before he procured a revolver and blew-off the top of his head.

You had to be in Paris for some time trying some of his horrors, an indulging story曝光ing the heroic old race also, perhaps. The hero was recently used in a wealthy Fayetteville for a own soldier. He went to Paris with his string, bought a 126 carre Spars in Normandy, some distance from Paris. When he had Hermie shipped to his farm he turned the old time race horse out. The handcane animal seemed at a loss for something. He dropped and was off his food and appeared to be sick. Hogger was very much worried. A veterinary or amined the horse, but could had nothing the matter with it, and do clared it well and sound. THOUGHT HOR$D WAS HOMESICK "Wonder if he isn't homeschool," mused Ziegler. No one believed that a horse could become homeschool, and the doctor said it was impossible. Hermis had been brought from a farm near Losington, Ky., and his at tendants had all been colored men. Ziegler worried for several days over the actions of his horse. Hermis seemed to go into a decline. His color cloaked him down the road. Ziegler saw him. He was the first cloaked man Ziegler had seen for a long time. Like a flash the thought came to him that Hermis might be longing for his old assoc clates. Ziegler stopped the man who spoke a little English and plenty of French. Ziegler asked him to go over to Hermis' stable. As soon as the horse saw the colored man he pricked his nose, whined and pawed, and seemed dripped. When the Negro approached him Hermis rubbed his nose against the colored man's arm. The Negro was hired on the spot. This horse immediately responded, ate well and was soon in good shape again. "Can you beat that for a real, live animal story," asks the man who received the letter from Ziegler. OLD MARK: AUCTION Fun For Fun Lovers.

BROADWAY, NEW YORK CITY --- The Parisienne is for the most modest man tired of three piece outfit, of cost consumes. They are useful, indispensable for some purposes, but while one must have her tailored coat and shirt the one piece freak has made ourselves abroad upon the popularity of its rival. Probably the fairs are responsible. Never were fairs so beautiful, so varied, so interesting, and while the long fur coat which are the desire of every woman's heart of opence, no connection with the cost and shirt consumes, it is also true that the very latest and smallest "small faux" costest better with the one piece freak than with the cost and shirt suit. Not that there are not stunning fur fets that are altogether admirable with the tailored or semi-tailored suit. On the contrary, there are plenty of them, beautiful fox sets, silver, black, white, blue, cream, dred, sable, skunk, chinchille, ornate, opentime, taupe and every fashionable fur. All of the furs are made up into neck pieces and muffs that can be worn with coat suits, and the average woman is only too thankful if she can have some one of the handcourt sets for such wear, but the ultra medium Parisienne has developed a fancy for small furs that are no longer "small," for small furfins that are voluminous, so enveloping that they can take the place of a coat and are too bulky when worn over a coat. And since this is go the one piece frock gains in importance for street and general afternoon wear. The most striking fur fad of the season is the enormous scarf, usually straight, but occasionally pointed at the ends, very supply and light, very wide, long enough to wind round the body in any manner desired and still fall almost to the ground. The graceful wearing of those fur scarfs is as art and difficult of master. Perhaps that is why the Parisienne has taken up the cult so enthusiastically. There are also many little fur wraps, wherever truly modish fur are shown and most of them are attractive if a trifle suggestive of early Victorian days and the second empire. Naturally cape and pelerine lines are adopted for these little wrape, and as a usual thing two furs are combined though this is not an invariable rule Combination of furs is popular through all the phrases of fur wearing this winter. Almost all of the 'handmost coat' show two kinds of fur, and the same is true of most of the smaller furs-except in the case of fine fabrics to whose distinction no other fur can add, and of the rarer kinds of fur, to which the same reasoning applies. Skilfully managed, this combination of furs gives artistic and charming results. The contrast may be in color rather than in texture or in texture rather than in color or there may be contrast in both respects, though that is rarer. FRUIT LOAF. A Rich and Tasty Cake That Will Go Well With Winter Dinners. The illustration shows a rich fruit loaf iceed with white and red stars cut from colored candied pineapple cooked An load Fruit Leaf. In water until tender, then stamped out and pressed into the iceing while just moist. Colar to Fit the Meod Some one color is more becoming to a woman than any other color. That which brings out all the strong points in her complexion and coloring or covers the lack of the latter in the correct one for her gown. When one is dependent the somber gown should be avoided and the brightest looking dress in the wardrobe should be brought out. Psychology has shown that red is a direct nerve stimulant. Pale blue is cold unless combined, as the French make it, with pink or rose. Violet, unison combined with plenty of green and white or even a few touches of pink, suggests melancholy, even sorrow, which accounts for the rarity of its use for decorative purposes. A plankish lavender is a better choice. A Use For Worn Whisk Broom. After a whisk broom has done service in the many ways in which it was intended to be used did you know that there is nothing better with which to scrub animal waste than one of these same little whisk brooms? After your broom has been worn down trim it off to a stub. After this need with soapy water, then wash in cold water; to a string to the handle and bring up somewhere in the air to dry. The closest nail for substitute work is hervorwichtige to immer dark color if it is not made up in one of the colors which is preferred as popular. The colors, or the colors of the day, are not used. Many cuts belong to what is known as the three piece variety—that is to say, the coat and skirt get matched by a blouse of chiffon or alenin in the same color and trimmed with great elaboration of detail. These blouses have almost superadded the once ubiquitous loose cape, and they look well on all occasions. Naturally the suit they accompany is somewhat smarter than the rough weather tailor made. The coat is often shorter, and there is rather more trimming on the skirt, which may also have panels or slashings to show material matching the vest or the coat of the coat. The paume is a probable feature, and so is the cutaway front. this practical and daimy waist and the return of the tailor made combine to secure for this season at least the popularity of the blouse. For morning wear it is now essential and something quite simple and as manisha as possible fulfills every requirement. For the street we have the blouse matching the gown, and for home wear beautiful specimens of lace and embroidery continue to give a daimy finish to the toilet. ECONOMICAL DESSERTS. Suggestions That the Thrifty Housewife Will Appreciate—Canned Fruits a Help. A simple dessert is a gingerbread baked in pans about three inches deep. Cut in good sized pieces and serve with whipped cream, heated, on top of each slice. Jarred fruit can be made to masquerade ade in quite elaborate desserts. Open a can of green grapes or blue plums, put on stone until hot, and then add two ounces of gelatin, stir until dissolved and let the mixture stand until nearly cold. Then stir in the beaten whites of three eggs, put in a cream mold and stand in cold places to harden. The yolk of eggs may be made into a thin custard with a half pint of milk and a tablepoonful of sugar. Flavor with vanilla and pour over the plum sponge instead of cream. Halves of canned peaches thoroughly chilled can be filled with whipped cream and served in half a stalk sponge cake dipped in sherry. The juice of the peaches can be stiffened with gelatin for next day's dessert. Peaches left when a jar is opened are nice for salad for next day's lunch. Serve ice cold and fill the bollow with mixture of equal parts of smoody and creamy cheese mixed to a paste with a little salt. Cold bollow rice from one dinner can be turned into rice mold for next day's dessert by adding a little milk, gelatin and a flavoring of cinnamon and lemon lind grate. Have the rice ice cold and fill with jarred fruit or almond orange. 20 Assorted Post CONSISTING OF LOVE AND ALSO SCENES OF W We Carry a Full Line of Cards for Postpaid on Receipt of T ENTERPRISE POSTC 2112 Eighth Street, N.

Washing Lace Medallions You can wash fine lace medallions which are soiled and make them look like new if you use the following method: Baste the medallions flatly and firmly to a piece of cambric or lime material and put to soak for a couple of hours in warm sands of some pure soap. Blime well, place them while still wet face downward on a thickly padded iron board and press with a very hot iron. A*Use For Cigar Ashes. Cigar ashes can be utilized as polish for gold watches, bracelets and rings, chains and other trinkets. This comes from a prominent jeweler, so it must be neatly correct. He even goes to the extent of carrying with him a small case in which he preserves all the ashes from the cigar which he smokes. He says that the grain is so fine that it leaves no mark that is discernible to the naked eye. IN THE KITCHEN. Hot biscuits, generously buttered and spread with currant jelly, are delicious served with game. Remove grate stains by saturating the spices with alcohol rather than brine, as the alcohol will not leave the ring around the spots that is left by the basinine. Wash with cold water. Mock chicken sandwiches are delicious. Chop one cupful of English walnut meats, one large or two small stalks of celery and mix hard boiled eggs very fine. Mix with boiled mind dressing and spread between thin slices of buttered bread. Probably everybody knows that boiled ham and corned beef have a sugar flavor if left to cool in the liquor in which they are cooked, but a lot of people don't follow the practice, possibly because they dislike the large greasy kettle to wash late in the day.

Goraldine - I'm no intruder of publishers - New York Times ```markdown ``` Since Jack Johnson has served for a championship with Jim Fryan there have been instances as to the slow progression of powers of his right apperent. This panch in Johnson's famous book, being the instrument which Jackson uses like the King Kotchel to take his right apperent, this right apperent in the invention of Josephine jaw of Reno. In roller on his right hand to finish battle. Going back through pagination history, one can find many instances of fighters who were not at all different from Johnson. Some 60 years ago Tenn Hyer won the championship of America with straight hitting from the shoulder. He punched like a batting ram with either hand, and in this way best down Yankee Sullivan, who was one of the rickiest fighters that ever stepped into a ring. Hyer never booked or crossed, as the present boxer is accustomed to, and is probably the only man who ever wholly employed a straight punch in a battle RIGHT SWING SULLIVAN BEST. John 1. Sullivan won the heavy-weight championship of the world with a right swing to the jaw. Sullivan was a "one-two" boxer, leading with his left to the body and head and trying to set an opening, for his right swing. He did not have the science of the present-day boxer, who uses similar tactics. He bored in like a bull infiltrated by a picador, and beat down his opponent by brute strength. One who could avoid Sullivan's right hand generally gave him could erable trouble. Charley Mitchell and Jake Kilrain made Sullivan work 39 and 75 rounds, respectively, for no other reason than they stood clean of the right hand swing. James Corbett humbled, pummelled and defeated Sullivan, making him hit nothing but air with his right swing. Sullivan's lack of pugilistic skill in that memorable fall was the cause of his punch. He had but one punch and Corbett was so scared that angle enough to avoid it. Corbett's best blow was a sharp, cutting left to the jaw, which he landed with great rapidity. It did not carry the knockout sting; but chopped the recipient to pieces and wore him to a point of exhaustion. Corbett used his right on defense the greater part of the time. DEMPSEY'S SHORT- LEFTS TOLD. A snappy, short left-hand wallop stopped many men for Jack Dempey Rushing sluggers never laced long with him, for usually they ran into his left on the first rush. Dempey had an educated and damaging right, Gans, though, was using favoring that side of him and using his right for defensive work, as did Corbett. Joe Gans employed a finishing right-hand hook, which made him famous. Gans, though, was an artist in the fatic game, and one of the best two-handed fighters the sport has ever known. Gans not only had to pank the hook, but thought out a battle before he started. In his championship affair with Frank Erne, Gans outgunned Erne in feints. Erne had a conquering way of pulling back a few inches in a feut, and then ing. Gans planned, therefore, to pank the hook, and then right to the jaw as Erne pulled back. This is exactly what happened, and Gans scored one of the cleanest knockouts on record. FITZ HAD A SOLAR PLEXUS. Robert Fitzsimmons and the solar plexus blow are synonymus. It was the lefthand shift with the stomach and jaw as stopping points that won the championship of the world for "tubby" Robert. He stopped with that left hand blow Hall. Maher, Creedon and Sharkey and he landed it on Jeffries, but broke his hand trying, to make the big Californiaan stop. Half arm joins with either hand also won many victories for Fitzsimmons. Jeffries essentially a left hand fighter, and his best "meal ticket" a rigid left hand hook. This cannon ball punch stopped Fitzsimmons. Ruh Lin, Corbett, and Munro. Each in distance he reached the body, punch, and followed quickly to the jaw. Sharkey sustained several broken ribs from the force of this left punch. KETCHEL WAS HARD HITTER Stanley Ketchel was a wonderfully hard hitter, his left swing following a feint and shift dropping most of his opponents as though they had been shot. Johnson received the full effect of this blow when he met Ketchel, and although he was not knocked out, he was sent off his feet and carried an on his chin for several days afterward. Ketchel's style was hardhead. He lacked the science of self protection, and was forced to take much punishment because of it. Ketchel was built to stand the hard usage, and he managed to survive some terrific beatings. A twist of the wrist featured the pouch styled the "corkswear," which Kid Oyoy used for his "K. O." Though he had a small man in build and frall always packed out many of the heavyweights with the peculiar blow. With his pouch he cut his man to pieces, forcing each to count through loss of cuticles and blood. NELSON INTRODUCED SLEEP PUNCHER Battling Nelson introduced many "bad wun" to the float art. He "half claws, book," plunging the side of the hand with the thumb and foe finger on top of the rival's Hear, created pain. He "wh" whore punch without a shave for a week and drained the br'vill hair in the eyes of the opponent. He other fellow's crosspet and gave the advantage. Also he "wye half" punch, rubbing the top of his head moves the opponent's gown "flat" the most advantage. The blinky punch, on paddle, is by almost every blinker, but as much of foot it is possible for the blink of the opponent to be in the mouth of the opponent simply by the mouth of the opponent. It would be much easier to give it a wider pleurea than for it to give the same more pronounced A White Variety of Cape and Gandeaux Are Shown. Juliette Poet, Cap is Reimagined For Theater Wear—Beads and Not Utilized With Stunning Ef- feet in Oriental Mode. It isn't exactly tying up "her bonny brown hair," but the last touch for the evening costume is the ornament that may vary from the Grecian fillet to the cap that covers the hair. Indeed, Paris is making hair accessories important component, parts of the whole scheme of dress, and today the enormous box that holds the gown is accompanied by a smaller one for the collar ornament. Juliet, comes to a lovely rescue this winter, or at least she has thrown a pearl cap down through the years, and clever women have caught the idea. This is a round wired frame with narrow side saps. The entire headpiece is of crossed lines of small pearls, with larger ones on the edge. It is good in gold, silver or colored beads and looks particularly well with a simple gown of matin. From Holland on festival days comes the headpiece of gold beads with two side caneshes and hanging tassels. This is melon shape and fits on the top of the head, quite fat in effect. Any kind of beads are in order, governed, naturally, by the color of the evening dress with which the ornament is worn. The silver tulle bandeau is another type of ornament that is purchasable and copyable. It is made of folds of glistening tulle, fastened at the side under a disk of the same. From this point two gauze wings, wired on the edges and beaded with silver beads, point backward in charming pliquency. A flower effect is shown in pink gauze. The plain band is trimmed with baby ribbon velvet and steel beads. A flower of six gauze petals is placed at the top and is sprinkled with beads to glisten like dew in the moonlight. In this season of oriental splendors the band that is appropriate for eastern costumes occupies a prominent place. Net in dull gold is embroidered with oriental shapes of "silk in a running flower design. It fastens at the back under a disk and gold tracas. Womankind has a wide field from which to choose an ornament for the crown of glory. It can be of metal, jewels or cloth and may be the finest wire fillet or the entire coring of beautiful fabric, but in any phase when it completes the costume and is worn with a realization of its value the crowning touch is irreversible. Do not neglect an opportunity to use a few inches of silk, the restringing face, beads or silk floss and the ideas that are given here. White For Winter. Not so many years ago it was an un on board of thing to wear white in winter. That color was reserved for warts weather, when alone it was deemed appropriate. But now women, who can afford to include more than one coat suit in the winter opitif are apt to have one white scarf or corduroy or mayaph white velvet tailored suit for calling purposes and afternoon teas and receptions. Not only the suit, but hat—at least the trimming on it—shoes, hand bag and gloves share the same snowy hue, especially the gloves, for these days white gloves are almost universally worn, not alone with white or black and white costumes, but with dress of every color even to the severest of plain black. The reason for the liking for white gloves was voiced by one woman who explained that she bought no other kind because they can go to the cleaner and be kept spotless, whereas the color is rubbed out of tan, gray or black gloves in the effort to remove the soil. The unbecoming effect of dead white on some complexions is relieved by the juxtaposition of a black collar next the face. But, on the other hand, the severity of the solid black is charmingly mitigated by the graceful design with which the collar is brushed. Cuffs and pocket flaps also show a touch of color, corresponding with the collar. Worn with a collar and muff, the suit is stunting and in keeping with the best taste of modern fashion. In the Sewing Room Did you know a lighted match or taper would do wonders with the sewing machine? Try it some day. Light a candle or just a match and apply it to different parts of the wheels and cogs. Lists and threads will burn, the char can be wiped off, and the machine will run twice as easily. When a machine guts it is advisable to use the threaded piece it in tub and cover with cotton. It makes a new machine from an old one and often corrents some defect which will cost you more than the price of that much gasoline. An Extra Strip of Chiffon For winter wear, in addition to the usual chiffon or net lining now employed with these transparent blouses, an extra and separate slip of chiffon is wonderfully helpful. When the sleeves are to the wrist the sleeve of the slip is carried to that point and looks delicate in the extreme if finished. The sleeve is then a throdding of narrow ribs. While affording an incredible amount of extra warmth, this slight slip does not by any means entirely obliterate the new almost invariable cache corner, also decked with ribbons.

Senator Tillman Arouses Kentuckian's Ire--Grave Charges Against the Candidate From New Jersey--Charges that He is Guilty of Prevarication and Duplicity. The Wound of a Friend--Some Interesting Reading. WILSON "NO TILDRN". Waterloo Tells of Governor's Break with Harvey. Louisville, Ky., January 17.—That he had hoped to find in Woodrow Wilson another Tilden, but had found "rather a school-master than a statesman," was the declaration of Henry Watterson, the veteran Kentucky editor and Southern Democrat in a statement made bare to-night in connection with the break between Gov. Wilson and Col. George Harvey. "Regretting that I must appear either as a witness or a party to the misunderstanding which has arisen between Col. George Harvey and Gov. Woodrow Wilson." reads the statement "I shall have to speak with some particularity in order to be just alike to the public and the private." "The conference between us in my apartment at the Manhattan Club was held to consider certain practical measures relating to Gov. Wilson's candidacy. Col. Harvey stood toward Gov. Wilson much as I stood five and thirty years ago toward Mr. Tilden. This appealed to me. HOPE? FOR ANOTHER TILDEN. "Col. Harvey had brought the governor and myself together in his New Jersey home eighteen months ago, and, as time passed, had interested me in his ambitions. I was hoping I might find in Gov. Wilson another Tilden. In point of intellect and availability, I yet think Col. Harvey made no mistake in his choice of a candidate, but the circumstance leading to the unfortunate parting of the ways between them leads me to doubt whether in character the department may be guilty in the habits of a ill-timed—Gov. Wilson is not rather a schoolmaster than a statesman. "I have from Col. Harvey and Gov. Wilson statements, according to the memory of each, touching what did actually happen and was spoken on the occasion named. These do not materially differ. They coincide with my own recollection. Nothing of a discountous kind—even of an unfriendly kind—passed during an interaction than an an hour. From the first, however, a certain constraint in Gov. Wilson's manner, the absence of the cordiality and candor which should mark hearty, confidential intercourse, indicating the existence of some adverse influence. His manner was autocratic, if not tyrannous. I did not take this for myself, but thought it related to Col. Harvey, and when Col. Harvey apparently overcome by Gov. Wilson's master, I put the direct request to Gov. Wilson, whom it supported of Harper's Weekly was doing him an injury, and received from Gov. Wilson the cold rejoinder that it was. I was both surprised and shocked. WILSON'S DEBT TO COL. HARVEY "I had myself, as far back as last October, suggested to Gov. Wilson that in view of his supposed environment it might be well for Gov. Harvey to moderate somewhat of the rather aggressive character of Harper's Weekly in the Wilson leadership. I am not sure that I had not said as much to Col. Harvey himself, but that Gov. Wilson, without the least show of compunction, should express or yield to such an opinion, and permit Col. Harvey to consider himself Col. Harvey in the position of deputy intimacy, he had moment held, left me little room to doubt that Gov. Wilson is not a man who makes common cause with his political associates, or is deeply sensible of his political obligations; because it is but true and fair to say that except for Col. Harvey he would not be in the running at all. EDITOR "GRIEVOUSLY WOUND-ED." "Col. Harvey was grievously wounded. He had been fighting Gov Wilson's battle for many years and had idealized his chief. Although I was given no reason to suppose myself included in the disfavor which perceived a sense of something very much like indignation, but on reflection I could not rid myself of the impression that Gov. Wilson had been receiving letters from Kentucky written by enemies of mine, who seek to use his name and fame to gain some ends of their own, warning me, and that, to all intents, I sat in the same boat with Col. Harvey. "I am in receipt of Gov. Wilson's ament to the contrary. I wish this had reached me earlier. I have during three weeks of newspaper importunity refused to print a word on the subject, in the hope that no publicity might be required, and that some understanding could be reached. I have reason to believe that Col. Harvey withheld his statement for the same cause, and with the same hope. It being no longer possible to suppress the matters at issue, this issue will make most reluctantly, seems needful to a full and impartial knowledge by the general public, but more especially by the mass and body of Democrats who are so earnestly seeking a leader in the coming contest." WATTERSON AFTER RYAN FOR WILSON. Colonel, in New Withilliam, Admiral No Wanted Cust. (Washington, D. C. Post, Jan. 27.) For a memorial without official in Washington had visions of a duel between Col. Henry Watterson and Senator Bonjamin R. Tillman, of So Carolina. The manner in which the fiery South Carolina senator expressed in an interview his approval of the war with the Confederacy with Col. George Harvey, and his observations relative to Col. Watterson's views on that rupture roused the treas of the veteran editor. SOUNDED LIKE A CHALLENGE. When two Southernners yield to their emotions and set themselves down to write sarcastic letters and demand a reply through a "friend," to the timid, at least, there is a sound in the air strangely like that of a challenge. So when politicians in the hotel lobbies learned that the eloquent and redoubtable editor had demanded a reply from the old-time senatorial herd, "throughmy friend, the Hon. Swager, Sherley, of Kentucky," and demanded it forthwith, they gave an ask to ask the senator who could they fight. A duel between these two famous Democrats would be memorable, as each is fearless, yet each is exempt from the strict interpretation of the hallowed code of honor by reason of similar affinctions - defect of vision. SAID HE CONCEALED FACTS In his interview Mr. Tillman referred with some warmth to Col. Watterson's reflections upon Gov. Wilson for breaking with Col. Harvey, and charged that the colonel had "concealed the material facts." These "facts," according to the senator's version consisted of the alleged attempt to "tele and lasso" the governor to Thomas F. Ryan. Col. Watterson took offense at this charge, and reminding the senator that the man who would do that was not a senator, he manued his authority. Mr. Tillman came back with a reiteration of the statement why he believed that you were unquestionably concealing the material facts." And thereupon' heads began to shake enthusiastly and tongues to wade dire predictions concerning the personal clash between those two men who never knew, fear and never would admit defeat. Presently, however, a more peaceful atmosphere for the lobbies, and all fear of an encounter vanished. Col. Watterson, prompt in his reply to the senator's response took a more pacific tone, and explained a few things he knew about the financial end of the Wilson campaign. This letter showed that the colonel himself had appealed to Thomas F. Rye, the governor, out what he believed to be a worthy cause. Col. Watterson does not say in words that Mr. Ryan contributed money, but admits that his efforts to raise funds for the Wilson campaign "were not wholly unfruitful." This he declares, was done with the knowl size and consent of the Wilson managers who "were delighted with the victory," Harvey, he says, had nothing to do with it and knew nothing about it. Col. Watterson, however, reiterates his belief that Gov. Wilson is no longer available, and asserts that the party "might discover all too late that he possesses personal peculiarities which would prove disastrous." MR TILLMAN MAY REPLY TO DAY With this second letter that went to Senator Tillman last night, the incident for the moment ended. Col. Watterson, although besieged would make no statement other than that contained in the correspondence which was circulated by some of his friends. Senator Tillman would not talk, but probably to-day will send him, buteron his reply to the second epilogue, which was construed by many as an overture for a reposition of that friendly status that existed prior to the sending of that first formal note to which answer was demanded "through my friend, the Hon Swinger Sherley, of Kentucky." The correspondence follows: "Washington, D. C., Jan. 25, 1912. My Dear Sir:—Referring to the so-called "Harry Watterson incident" I find the following in the newspapers of this morning to the following effect: "I had given Henry Watterson credit for more sense than to try to foil off a story like this, with the material facts concealed." "The man who makes a public statement with 'the material facts concealed' is little other' than a scoundrel. I have the right, therefore, to demand of you what warrant of authority you make this serious accusation against me, and to ask a reply through my friend, the Hon. Swager Sherley of Kentucky. With great respect. "HENKY WATTERSON. "Hon. B. R. Tillman, &c. &c." ANSWER BY THE SENATOR. "Washington, D. C., Jan. 26, 1912. "My Dear Sir:—in your note of January 25, handed me by the Hon. Swaker Sherley, you direct my attention to an interview which I had with the author of the book Watterson-Wilson incident, in which I say, 'I had given Henry Watterson credit for more sense than to try to foist off a story like this, with the material facts concocted.'" "You demand to know, 'upon which warrant of authority you make this serious accusation.'" "You demand to the proms you described to detail the rupture between Gee, Watterson and Col. Harvey but not making it to what caused it." Our Presidential Possibilities Series © by American Press Association. WOODROW WILSON THE candidacy of the former president of Princeton university makes the expression "the scholar in politics" something more than a taunt in the mouths of politicians of the old type. During the time he has held of fice as governor of New Jersey Woodrow Wilson has made it evident that, though he was before his election without practical experience in state or national politics, he is a man to be reckoned with by those who have played the game for many years. His administration has shown him to be the possessor of original ideas and of the force to carry them out, and his speeches delivered throughout the country have added to his popularity. The withdrawal at his own request of the formal support of Harper's Weekly, which has been his foremost newspaper advocate, has added interest to his campaign to secure the nomination at Baltimore. All the leading papers of the country accem to know wify Gov. Wilson severed relations with Col. Harvey, and you as a leading newspaper man and self-confessed, experg groomer of presidential candidates must have witnessed the time your statement was published. "I very properly concluded that you knew the reasons for the rupture and when you made public the manner in which it occurred without giving the causes, you were unquestionably concealing the material facts. Very respectfully you, "B. R. TILLMAN." "Col. Henry Watterson, Washington, D. C." NOT GROOMER OF CANDIDATES "Washington, D. C., Jan. 26, 1912. 'Miss Dear Sir!

WOODROW The candidacy of the former president "expression the scholar in politics" mouths of politicians of the old type face as governor of New Jersey Woodrow though he was before his election with national politics, he is a man to be reckon the game for many years. His administrative sensor of original ideas and of the force delivered throughout the country have a drawal at his own request of the formal has been his foremost newspaper advocate paign to secure the nomination at Baltimore. Gov. Wilson was industriously circulating the story that the real reason why Governor-Wilson broke with Col. Harvey was that Col. Harvey had tried to bring Mr. Thomas F. Ryan into the governor's campaign. But until you could have credence to the story, it could not be invested with any responsible authority. Its origin was mysterious, its circulation surreptitious. Consequently there has been up to this time nothing either said. "Now, Senator. I know, of my own knowledge, that that story is a lie made out of whole cloth. If any person ventures to question this assertion. I have in my possession proof conclusive which I hold myself ready to place before your honest and truth-seeking mind. DOES NOT ACCUSE GOV. WILSON I do not accuse Gov. Wilson of tra- originating or circulating this inven- tion, manufactured to make a hero of him at the expense of the friend who has most effectively served him. I do do not assume that he is aware of the de- dictarily work being done by his al- leged agents, but the first response in that Gov. Wilson knows as well as I do that the story is false. He may or may not feel that he owes any obligation to Col. Harvey. That is a matter of which he must be the judge. But I do insist that he owes it to his own honor to repudiate that story and to disobserve those who are arlying to inject the calamny into the public mind. At Gov. Wilson's instance, I had undertaken to assist his accredited managers in raising the considerable sums of money, needful to the prosecution of his campaign, and in this my efforts were not wholly unfulfult. SUGGESTED AID BY MR. RYAN. "As the business proceeded, the name Thomas F. Ryan not unnaturally came into my mind. He is a Democrat. He is a Virginian. He is my friend. Knowing him to be a distinguished man, having no ax to grind, I hoped that I might induce him to help out, which I believed a worthy cause. Gov. Wilson's manager were delighted with the suggestion. Col. Harvey had nothing to do with it, and, as far as I am aware, knew nothing about it. Throughout this unhappy affair I have been an unwilling witness—in its consequence, somewhat of an innocent bystander—having been, up to the hour of the Harvey incident, a sincere believer in Gov. Wilson. Possibilities Series WILSON President of Princeton university makes the case something more than a trust in the type. During the time he has held of Gov Wilson has made it evident that, without practical experience in state or reckoned with by those who have played education has shown him to be the pose to carry them out, and his speeches are added to his popularity. The with-ternal support of Harper's Weekly, whichocate, has added interest to his cam-imore. He is a man of ability. In some ways he might prove a candidate of availability, but I fear that if he became our President we might discover all too late that he possesses personal peculiarities which would prove disastrous. We want in the White House a man of broad mind, as well as possessed intellect, of heart grateful and kind, no less than darling. I remain, with great respect, "You must serve us." "HENRY WATTERSON."

Governor Wilson then shown a copy of the press dispatcher, quoting me correspondence between Colonel Wutheron and Senator Fulham given out now in Washington last night. When he ove I came to the paragraph in which West Ternon asserts he had undertaken to raise campaign funds "at Governor Wilson's instance," the New Jersey Governor excclaimed, pounding his flat to give emphasis to his remarks: "Great Scott! It's the most remarkable paragraph I ever read. What do you think of that? It's absolute by the Governor Wilson then dictated this statement: "So far as I am concerned, this statement that Col. Watterson was requested to assist in raising money in my behalf is absolutely without foundation. Neither I nor any one authorized to represent me ever made such a request of him." "How about the Harvey matter: don't you want to clear that up?" asked the reporters. "That question has cleared itself up, isn't it? Governor Wilson asked when it will." "Do you still think that Colonel Watterson is a nice old gentleman?" he was asked. "I have always had a high regard for Colonel Watterson." "Will you comment upon Mr. Ryan's connection with the controversy? Not a word. I knew nothing about it until I read the book. I know nothing about it. My master ment covers anything." Tillman Out of Rt. Waablinton, D. C., Jan. 27—Senator Tillman, when shown the state statement of Colonel Watterson, said, "I have nothing to add to my statement of last night. I have no issue to settle before a court of hon or. I shall have nothing whatever to add to what I have already said. It is a matter now for Governor Willson and Colonel Watterson to settle. It is their controversy and I leave it with them." WILSON ANOTHER SAUL Soundly Converted. Too, So Bryan Is Convinced. Dallas, Texas, Jan. 30,—So far, in the opinion of William J. Bryan, Govood Wilson, of New Jersey, has been helped, rather than hurt because of his controversy with Col. Henry Wavell, or considers Gov. Wilson, instead in being the man is sometimes hurt by the sort of men clamorous in his support." The contest in Missouri between Speaker Champ Clark and former Governor Joseph W. Folk, he described as "distinctly unfortunate." WILL WEAKEN CHANCES "Whatever the result of the prari- men," Mr. Bryan said, "it is to be bearded that either of the contestants will have weakened his chance of carrying Missouri in the general e- lection. "It was a mistake that the Clark mould not accept the Stephens suggestion, a thing I heartily appro- ved; that the Missouri men divide the vote of the State that but lot in the national convention, and that the one who received the larger support in the delegation from other States take the full vote of the del- cation afterward." "How about the letter Gov. Wil- son wrote to E. H. Joline several yea- ger?" Mr. Bryan was asked. "A shining illustration that Mr. Wilson is the best modern example of Sid of Tarnus" Mr. Bryan ex- claimed. "He has been soundly con- verted. Anyone who talks with him or hears him will be convinced of that. Mr. Wilson's sort of impress- iveness is best demonstrated in the Smith incident in New Jersey." MEANS TO BE IN CAMPAIGN Mr. Bryan said he would not now make any announcement as to his choice of candidates for the Demo cratic presidential nomination. "There will be a campaign in my State in about two months," Mr. Bryan continued. "I expect to be in that campaign, and before that time to decide between the Demo cratic presidential candidates. We and I hope for the selection of that man who can unite the Democratic elements." Mr. Bryan also expressed his ap proval of presidential preference primaries. "While primaries are still in the experimental stage to a large extent," he said. "I favor this method of selecting candidates. Ultimately, I favor the making of a majority vote the deciding method in primaries." WHICH ONE HAS LINK? ASKS COL. WATTERSON Gov. Wilson, No Dereliction in State meet, Bear No Face Piece. "The sole issue is whether I have lied, an Gov. Wilson says I have, or he has lied, which I have engaged conclusively to show. He does not face the facts." When Col. Henry Watterson wrote that, while in but one of many disagreeable speeches of the king's Handlers, the governor, and gave it to the public hearings, his final word in the Watterson-Wilson-Watterson module, he became, to mention a remarkable political document. No candidate be fore the American people asking their support for the nomination for the highest office within the gift of the electorate ever has been the victim of a pen more arsenic than that with which Col. Watterson indicted his arrangement of Gov. Wilson. AWAITS WORD FROM GOVERNOR The country now will wait in impatient mood to see in what vein will come the retort courteous from the scholarly and learned Dr. Wilson who, having left behind him the cap and gown, is now scurrying about the country beating the bushes for votes for Woodrow Wilson, the politician. Col. Watterson characterizes the whole affair as a "most distasteful episode," which so far as he is concerned, has been brought to a close because of Mr. Wilson's refusal to accept his proposition regarding the proofs he holds. Wilson justifies his withholding publication of these proofs on the ground of party prudence and a desire to avoid an invasion of private rights. Apparently there is in this statement an admission that it would not be wise for the party that the country should know: whence came the funds. Specifically, however, he denies that any came from Ryan. REVIEWS THE WHOLE CIRCUM STANCE. the veteran editor begins his com-munication with a review of the cir-cumstances to which he owes "the misfortune of having made Gov. Wilson's acquaintance." During one of his several conferences, he says, reference was made to senatorial prifferences, and he asks, by default, "in which a person named Martine, represented as wholly unfit, had obtained a rather mender vote." The succeeding months, he says, brought him into confidential relations with Gov. Wilson. This reevaluation brought out a certain conference at the Manhattan Club in New York, which col. Watterson, for some purpose, has called to say as little as needful "to justice between man and man." This conference seems to have been the result of "a most urgent appeal for money from a gentleman of distinction, closely associated with, if not actually directing the Wilson organization." Col. Watterson admits this confer-ence, but does not mean—else why, and for what—he asks, "was Gov. Wilson there?" Taking up the later phase of the situation, Col. Watterson charges that Gov. Wilson seeks to "beoulod the lause and escape its menace by turning upon me the irresponsible chatter of the literary bureau which is to live off of compulsive contributions of subservirbers with wings, harpe and halos." DENIES THAT RYAN CONTRIBUTED. The story that Ryan contributed to was asked to contribute, Col. Waterson deponies as "a lie out of whole cloth," and of which Gov. Wilson knew. The suggestion of Ryan was approved by Wilson's agents, but Mr. Wilson himself, "expressing a fear that if knowledge of such a contribution got abroad it might do him more harm than good—an opinion held Col. Harvey promptly occurred," he says the matter went no further. "I might have asked Gov. Wilson says the colonel in one of his sarcastic moods, "how he could reconcile his objection to Ryan money which had not been offered him with As demand for Carnegie pension money, which had been denied him." Referring to the Ryan story, Col. Waterson illuminates his statement with the declaration that the Wilson promoters were endeavoring "to divert attention from the fact that Gov. Waterson been sitting round as a hero because of his rejection of Ryan, the truth belongs that Ryan never was pressed upon him at all." In conclusion Col. Watterson says he refuses longer to follow a man whose nomination, in his judgment, would be a "disaster," and whose selection a calamity. He who could show himself so disloyal to private friendship cannot be trusted to be loyal to anything. Col. Watterson adds that he shall not indemnify all the place acceded by Gov. Wilson, of whom he calculates: "There seems no abandonment into which he cannot descend with equal facility and grace." And as he departs to his winter home in Florida, where he says he will be out of reach of both the telegraph wire and the telephone, the Democratic patrush affords this lamentation: "May God protect Democracy from such a leader and such leadership." COL. WATTERSON'S STATEMENT. His statement, addressed "to the Democrats of the United States," follows: "The time limit set upon my stay in the National Capital being short to expire, and Gov. Wilson having refused my offer as to the time of vanity he has raised between us to admit proof of the truth of my ever need to party association competent to judge both of his character and to the truth of his conduct, I shall bring this most disimilar course to a close, as far as I am concerned. "The claim that I must rush into print with this proof assumes either from the perversity of the militant, I have R. am ready, under prayer. supervision, to produce it, and can be asked in reason to do no more. If I should publish it the very men who are demanding that I shall would be first to accuse me of reckless disregard of what they would call party prudence and private rights. The sole issue is whether I have Hed, or Gov. Wilson says I have, or he has lied, which I have engaged consecutively to show. He dare not face the facts. TELLS OF MEETING GOV. WILSON "With as brief a review as may be of the circumstances to which I owe the misfortune of having made Gov. Wilson's acquaintance, not to mention my indebtedness of his praisable but specious pretensions. I shall cease to trouble the public with a controversy no wise of my seeking. "During the early summer of 1910 I was passing a week-end with Col. Gee, an old friend, at Dool Beach, his home in New Jersey. There arrived for dinner. Dr. row Wilson, then president of Prenton, and the Hon. James Smith, Jr. late a senator in Congress. Dr. Wilson I had never met before. The talk at table was mainly about the prospective nomination of a Democratic candidate for Governor of New Jersey. "Drawn into the conversation, I ventured the opinion that if nothing more than a governorship slight, it would be a sacrifice for Dr. Willett to quit his exiled station at the head of great university and get down into the burbling of politics to struggle for fermention no尊儡 and unsuccessful." "That was probably what Col. Harvey, who seemed under some spell wrought by Dr. Wilson, had planned. Mr. Smith declared that he wanted nothing for himself; only to see the Wilson redeemed; that no one but Dr. Wilson seemed it, and the like. In due season Dr. Wilson was nominated and elected. "Not long after I was called to New York. The situation in New Jersey was explained to me. I was told that Mr. Smith wished to return to the Sea at, despite his declaration that he wanted nothing for himself; that there had been a primary election, which had gone by default, in which a person of the name of Martine, retained the hollary unit, had obtained a rather senior position, the Gov. Wilson held Senator Smith his bond, and stood by the party pledge touching primary elections. In this he was clearly right. "DRAGOONED INTO HIS SERVICE" "The presidential campaign, to which the gubernatorial election had served as a prelude, began. In a manner I had been dragged out—I will not say deceived—into the service of Gov. Wilson and Col. Harvey. The succeeding ten months brought me confidential relations with Gov. Wilson. I passed between us. Upon his invitation, I visited his home in Princeton. He was good enough last winter, come to the steamer to see me off for Europe. We were even caught by the inevitable kadak flead and posttialized in the friarbald press side-by-side, making quite a touching group. "I found him a man of polished manners, scholarly attainments, and undeniable talents. I came from abroad, the governor came from New York. Again in November and December foregathered there. "In short, nothing was wanting to the most cordial and unrestrained intimacy. "I make this detailed statement be cause the public might well fancy from the governor's present attitude from the governor in some way thrust myself upon him, and that my friendship and support not have been desired by him. "The fortnight immediately proceeding the interview at the Manahat's club of which I have been at point of view as little as was needed to justice the man and men and men. I had done nothing could in the interest of his campaign." APPEALED TO FOR FUNDS, HE SAYS. "I was met on my arrival in New York by a most urgent appeal for money from a gentleman of distinction, closely associated with, if not actually directing the Wilson organization, and in answer to this I was able at once to secure a considerable sum of money. The meeting at the Manhattan Club was designed still further to push forward and perfect the work of organization. Ehe, why and for what was the supervisor there?" "To confuse and mislead the public he has latently adopted a policy of alternate silence and sneering. Giving the lie direct to my statement that I was asked to help the financial end of his campaign and declaring my offer to submit the proof of his truth to a body of goodmen and Democrats equally concerned with ourselves for the well-being of the party, to close the issue and escape him from serving upon the irreconcilable choice of literary borne, which claims to live immaculate contributions of suburban ones having wings, harps, and balen, and which has been for weeks flooding the country with every measure of falsification. "SHOULD GET ROMANTIC PROPER THINKING." The very existence of life is an inhibition of the process of life in the universe and the process of life in the universe. The universe is the process of life in the universe. The universe is the process of life in the universe. he out of whole cloth. Though Gov. Wilson knows this, he has allowed it to circulate without a word of contradiction. The attempt which followed its exposure by me, to make it appear that I have intimated that application was made to Mr. Ryan is cut off the same cloth, and is char acteristic of the duplicity which attaches itself to the entire proceeding of the governor and his publicity agents. "The suggestion of Mr. Ryan was eagerly caught up by those agents. Pancy a political promoter refusing money from payway or anybody. But when I spoke to Gov. Wilson about it, he said some uncleivil things of Mr. Ryan, expressing a fear that if the knowledge of such a contribution got, abroad it might do more harm than good—an opiates with which-Ool. Harvey promptly concurred—and the matter went no further. I might have asked Gov. Wilson how he could reconcile his objection to Ryan money, which had not yet been offered him, with his demand for Carnegie pension money, which had been denied him. But, although growing a little impatient under his sudden change of demeanor, I did not wish to be disagreeable. SAYS RYAN NEVER HEARD OF IT. "Certain it is that Mr. Ryan never heard of the matter. Neither I, nor any one else, spoke to him on the subject. The effort of the Wilson promoters to revive it and bring it to the front is simply an unprincipled attempt to divert the public attention from the fact that Gov. Wilson has been ratling round as a hero because of his indignant objection of Ryan, the truth being that Ryan was never pressed upon him at all. "His courageous repudiation of Harvey, which has put such a leather in his cap was of a piece with this. Whilst Gov. Wilson was receiving popular applause because of his sacrifice of private friendship to public duty, he was groveling at Harvey's feet after pardon for the shameless and heartless treatment he admitted having bestowed on Harvey at the Manhattan Club. If he possesses a spark of honorable sensibility, he will at once demand and require the publication of the object letters he wrote to Harvey when he was made to understand and realize that he must square the account of ingratiate, or take the consequences. "Meanwhile, let me say, that whilst the governor's tardy repentance may placate the forgiving Col. Harvey—whilst it may even satisfy the susceptible Mr. Ryan—I refuse longer to follow a man whose nomination would, in my judgment, be a disaster and whose election a calamity. He who could show himself so disloyal to private friendship cannot be trusted to be loyal to anything. DENIES THAT HE IS ON TRIAL "Within a single year, Gov. Wilson's radical change of base, his alignments and readjustments, personal and political, his offenses to some and apologies to others, have been exactly concurrent with his selfish aims. There seems no aba- ment into which he is unable to descend with equal facility and grace. May God protect Democracy from such a leader and such leadership. "I is bound to the Democrats of the United States that I am not on trial. I am a candidate for nothing. There is no office within the gift of the government, or the people, the acceptance of which I would no much as consider. My career is behind me. I have pursued it in the light of day. If it does not plead my cause, I cannot pload for myself." "In the support I gave the candidacy of Gov. Wilson, as herein related, I acted for the best, according to the lights about me. In withdrawing that support I must render some sufficient reason to my party associates. That is their right, and it is my right. Why, at my time of life, should I seek to do injustice to any man, or in any wise to mislead the party which, during 40 years of storm and stress, I have striven so faithfully to serve? "The niche vacated by Gov. Wilson I shall not undertake to fill. I hold nothing in reserve, am backing no other aspirant, advancing no other interest. I shall go to my winter home in Florida, beyond the reach even of the telegraph, sure that in this matter I have done my duty alike to public obligations and private friendship, and having not a care beside. "HENRY WATTERSON." M. Y. FORT LANDS WILSON-HARVEY MISSION In Justice to Both Men Correspondence Between Them is Given Out for Publication. New York, January 20.—The New York Breeding Post has sought for the sake of justice to all concerned, to secure the publication of the correspondence between Governor Wilson and Col. Harvey. In that sense it applied to them both. Neither wished it to be put in the position of giving out private letters but both assisted to the publication with the distinct understanding that the initiative came from the Breeding Post. The first letter addressed to Col. Harvey by Governor Wilson is as follows: "University Club, Fifth Avenue and Fifty-fourth Street, Dec. 21, 1911. (Powell) "My Dear Colleague...Every day I am combined in my judgment that my mind, is a one-trick road, and can run only one trail of thought at a time. A long time after that relationship with you and Marva Henry all the time, there is a more over time when I feel the sense of the relationship with you that goes through the heart. I am grateful." simply as a matter of fact, and of business, and said never a word of my desire gratitude to you for all your generous support, or of my hope that it might be continued. Forgive me, and forget my manhood. HARVEY TO WILSON. In reply Colonel Harvey wrote to Gov. Wilson as follows: "My Dear Governor Wilson: "Replying to your note from the University Club. I think it should go without saying that no purely personal issue could arise between you and me. Whatever anybody else may surmise, you surely must know that, in trying to arouse and further your political aspirations during the last few years, I have been actuated solely by the belief that I was rendering a distinct public service. "The real point at the time of our interview was as you aptly put it, one simple 'of fact and of business,' and when you stated the fact to be that my support was hurting your candidacy and that you were experiencing difficulty in finding a way to counteract its harmful effect, the only thing possible for me to do, in simple fairness to you no less than in consideration of my own self-respect was to relieve you of your embarrassment, so far as it lay within my power to do so, by coaxing to advocate your nomination. "That. I think was fully understood between us at the time and acting accordingly. I took down your name from the head of the Weekly's editorial page some days before your letter was written. That seems to be all there is of it. "Whatever little hurt I may have felt as a consequence of the unexpected peremptoriness of your attitude toward me is, of course, wholly eliminated by your grecious words. very truly yours. "GEORGE HARVEY." WILSON TO HARVEY. Governor Wilson replied under date of January 11. as follows: "My Dear Colonel Harvey: "Generous and cordial as was your letter written in reply to my note from the University Club it has left me uneasy, because in its perfect frankness, it shows that I DID hurt you by what I so tactlessly said at the Knickerbocker Club. I am very much ashamed of myself, for there is nothing I am more ashamed of than hurting a true friend, however, unintentional the hurt may have been. I wanted very much to see you in Washington. but was absolutely captured by callers every minute. I was in my room and when I was not there was fulfilling engagements. I saw you at the dinner, but could not get at you and after the dinner was surrounded and prevented from getting at you. I am in town today, to speak this evening, and came in early in the hope of catching you at your office. "For I owe it to you and to my own thought and feeling to tell you how grateful I am for all your generous praise and support of me (no one had described me more nearly as I would like believe myself to be than you have) how I have admired you for the independence and unhesitating courage and individuality of your course, and how far I was from desiring that you should cease your support of me in the WEEKLY. You will think me very stupid, but I did not think of that as the result of my blunt answer to your question. I thought only of the means of convincing people of the real independence of the Weekly's position. You will remember that that was what we discussed. And now that I have unintentionally put you in a false and embarrassing position you heap coals of fire on my head by continuing to give out interviews favorable to my candidacy. All that I can say is that you have proved yourself very big and that I wish I might have an early opportunity to TELL you face to face how I really feel about it all. "Cordially and faithfully yours, "WOODROW WILSON." It is noted in the foregoing that mention of the Knickerbocker instead of the Manhattan Club is obviously a slip of the pen. Colonel Harvey's reply was as follows: "January 16. 1912. "My Dear Governor Wilson—Thank you sincerely for your most handsome letter. I can only repeat what I said before—that there is no particle of personal rancor or resentment left in me. And I beg you to believe that I have not said one word to anybody of criticism of you. "I have to print a word of explanation to the Weekly's readers, but it will be the briefest possible. WILSON MANAGER SAYS HE REFUSED RYAN HELP. Watterson's Offer Was Made to Him. He Was Not Delighted, but Said No. That Gov. Wilson's managers were "delighted, with the suggestion" of Col. Watterson that he hoped to induce Thomas P. Ryan to contribute to the Wilson campaign fund is asserted by Col. Watterson and denied by William P. McComb, who says he is the manager of Gov. Wilson's campaign. Mr. McComb says Col. Watterson volunteered the suggestion to him and thereupon: "I said to him that we could not take Mr. Ryan's money and that such contributions were not within the spirit of the Woodrow Wilson campaign." To this Mr. McComb says Col. Watterson replied that "money and not patriotism counts in a Presidential campaign." Here is Mr. McComb's statement, made as will be seen, as authentically as adduced: From the beginning of the occupation for City, when I have resigned, I have received all of the instructions right to it. I assume responsibility for them and I have all their demands. They have not only been made by people who have already made the instructions of the City which they have received. I have all these demands and their requirements. A Splendid Hazard . . . A "The Goose Girl," "The Man on the Box," "The Puppet Crown," "Arms and the Woman" and Other Celebrated Books Watterson regarding campaign funds has taken place in personal interviews between him, and myself. There have been two interviews only. I intensely dislike to make a public statement of a private conversation, and regret very much that Col. Watterson has forced me to do so. "In October of last year I had a general conversation on. Presidential politics with Col. Watterson at the Waldorf where he was stopping. I visited him at his suggestion. In the coarse of that conversation he gave it as his opinion that a large amount of money would be needed and volunteered the suggestion that he would go and see his friend, Mr. Ryan, and that he was sure he could induce him to make a very large contribution to the campaign. "I saffil to him that we could not take Mr. Thomas F. Ryan's money and that such contributions were not within the spirit of the Woodrow Wilson campaign. His reply was: "I have been in politics fifty years and I know that money and not patriotism counts in a Presidential campaign." "I repeated to Col. Watterson that we could not take the money. Early in December I met him again and he renewed the discussion of a Ryan contribution. I made the same answer to him that I had made before. I heard nothing further from Col. Watterson on the subject and thought no more of the conversations. I have not seen him since that time. If I mistake not there, be an implication perhaps in Col. Watterson's letter to Senator Tillman—probably not intended—to the effect that he secured funds for this campaign from Mr. Ryan. No such contribution has been made, and this of course Col. Watterson well knows. "The well-timed annotations, upon Gov Wilson are rendering a real service. I will specify one respect. Since the beginning of these attacks I have received in my mail many small contributions from all over the country from people who have not been asked to contribute and whom neither. I nor Gov Wilson know. Their letters all convey expressions of recruitment at the unfair and concerted attacks that are being made upon him." Governor Wilson conferred with a number of his political advisers at Trenton today, and then reached the conclusion, that it would be the part of sound discussion to make my reply to the latest broadcast of Colonial Writerism, published this morning. "A statement like that affords of no documentary from me," were the world of the Governor when he gave evidence to the working investigator, who was writing interview. Upon being asked to make some further comment upon the charge, the Governor, speaking with the subject, confessed, said: An International Romance of the Lost Treasure of Napoleon, Notable For Its . . . . . Action AND Mystery Action AND Mystery Read this Remarkable Story of Love, Intrigue and Adventure by the Author of . . . "The Man on the Town," "Arms and Arms Celebrated Books APER. or that perhaps he meant to say he was sorry to regret the loss of such a friendship, but he repeated that he had intended exactly what he had said, that he must speak sincerely, and therefore could not say that he regretted the loss of that which proved to be only ashes. Later in the day the Governor was informed of the publication of correspondence which passed between him and Colonel George Harvey following the incident which resulted in his name being taken from Harper's Weekly as a presidential candidate. Inasmuch as he had given his consent, to the publication of these letters, and was informed that Col. Harvey had done the same, the Governor said that further comment upon his part seemed unnecessary. He declined to make a statement.—January 31, 1912. "THE AMENDE DISCREET." By James J. Montague WILL BE FEAR STEEL TRUST DESTROYED PROOF EnJoined From Doing Away With More Evidence. HINT OF CRIMINAL ACTION Missing Papers Said to Prove That President Farrell Had Knowledge of and Aided in Illegal Pooling Contracts. One section of the petition of the United States department of Justice on which an injunction has been issued at Trenton, N. J., by United States Judge Gray, restraining the defendants in the government's and trust suit against the United States Steel corporation from destroying books and papers desired by the government, appears susceptible of the interpretation, that criminal indictments and prosecutions of certain officers of the corporation and its subsidiaries are under consideration by the department. The petition alleged that several thousand papers and documents, that are used by the government's criminal prosecution of the "wire pool" law fall, had been destroyed. It also was alleged that the letters were destroyed to prevent the government from proving its case against the steel trust and subsidiaries. The rule by Judge Gray directs the defendants to show cause why a permanent injunction should not be issued and is returnable on March 5. The present injunction forbids the destruction of any other books or papers which the government may desire in the anti-trust suit. The position avers that certain much-wanted documents are in imminent danger of destruction "because there are officers of the United States Steel corporation and its subsidiaries who have not yet been indicted for the practices which laid papers tend to also whom guilty of, to wit: "Of having been involved of the aforemid unlawful association, and since none of the defendant companies has yet been indicted in suspect therein." The petition urged that anonymous other papers were produced in the guilty final presentation which contained them, leading to show the guilt of American Steel and Wheeler compa.

A. Farrell, formerly president of the last named company, now the president of the United States Steel corporation, not merely was cognizant of the unlawful pooling arrangement entered into by the American Steel and Wires company, through its officers, but also knowingly added and abetted said unlawful practices in violation of the Sherman and trust act." The petition further alleges that in this work of maintaining prices Edward E. Jackson was employed as a central man, and that he designated who should be the successful bidders on government work and on large private contracts. It is still further charged that Jackson designated the "competitors" who were to bid high. It is alleged that through this method the government had paid enormous prices for the products of the Steel corporation. The destroyed papers, it is charged, were in a trunk which, with its contents, were delivered on June 29, 1911, by United States District Attorney Wise to Charles MacVeigh, general solicitor of the United States Steel corporation, who gave a written agreement, it is said, that he would keep the papers in his personal charge, subject to examination by Mr. Wise or his assistants at any time.

A FLORIST'S TRIBUTE Mr. Harvey Jefferson, florist of Washington, D. C., spoke. He donated a floral design of a clock, the same being made by himself and wife. Attorney Joseph R. Pollard added to the interest and gave a sensational turn to the proceedings when he gifted a couple determination to bring the more responsible for the wrecking of the Order to justice. As a result, the audience gave audible evidence of approval of his fury, yet sympathetic remarks. The choir sang "Abide With Me." Editor John Mitchell, Jr., also spoke. The delegation from Washington, D. C. was composed as follows: Mrs. S. M. Stockton, Mrs. Lizzie C. Carvo, Mrs. M. E. Carr, Mrs. AnneLleigh Thornton, Mrs. C. Waltz, Mrs. E. B. Jordan, Mrs. Agnes Morris. W. R. GRUFFIN KILLED IN RAIL ROAD WRECK. Was Grand Worthy Master, Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformer—Others Hurt on Norfolk and Western. W. R. Griffin, Grand Worthy Master, Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers, died in the Peter- burg Hospital yesterday afternoon as a result of injuries received in the wreck of an earthbound Norfolk and Western Railway train, No. 16, near Ford's station, Dinkwildloid county. He on his way to Richmond from Lynch burg and had expected to leave here at noon for Wimlington, Del., where he was scheduled to deliver an address last night. The official statement given out by the railway company and newspaper dispatches from Petersburg to which city the injured were carried, put Griffin down as an unidentified passenger. When he failed to reach this city, telegrams were sent to Lynchburg and other telegrams from Lynchburg were received about the same time asking if he had arrived. The Petersburg Hospital informed the Philadelphia hospital, lung-distressed telephone last night that the body had been identified as that of Griffin, A. D. Price, a colored undertaker, and local officers of the Grand Fountain, will leave this morning for Petersburg to bring the body to Richmond. LEGISLATORS ESCAPE The only other person killed in the wreck was John Brown, of Roanoke, a colored porter. Like Grimn, he was sent to the hospital where he died. Many passengers were injured. Several members of the General Assembly, returning from their homes, spotted a spelling error worse for someone they got through out being hurt. Six injured persons were removed to the hospital. The accident is said to have been caused by the breaking of the arch bar of the forward truck of the tender. A plank at the crossing was torn up and carried some distance, skirting the frog of the sliding and causing the derailment. Only the mail and box were held. Other cars remaining on the wheels, and two Pullman cars in the rear remaining on the track. WORKED HARD FOR ORDER. Griffin, who was about 40 years old and unmarried, lived at 604 N. Second Street. He was probably one of the best known colored men in Richmond. For the past few months he had taken hold of the Grand Fountain, a fraternal organization for colored people and was building it up again after its trying experience which came about with the wrecking of the 'the Reformer's Bank.' As president of the Old Folk's Home, he had about all he could do. Recently, he figured extensively in the news papers when he dismissed J. Thomas Kewsone, the colored lawyer of Newport News, who had been engaged to assist in clearing up the affairs of order. With uncles everywhere, it was necessary for Griffin to travel a great deal and when he received injuries which proved fatal, he was returning from West Virginia, having stopped over in Lynchburg. When other officers of the Grand Fountain's heard from Petersburg last night that he was dead, the news created much distress and excitement for nobody seemed to know exactly who would pick up his work. Griffin had the utmost confidence of his people, who realised that he was doing excellent work in behalf of the other Prizes. There could be no doubt of the fact that the identification was correct, though nobody was able to understand why it took no long to ascertain the facts. LIST OF THE INJURED. A dispatch from Petersburg gives the following list of the injured, to refer with details of the wreck: Ramond Hutton, cultured problems, body injured about knee and hand and body tamed wounds about face and body. Layton Moore, of Lynchburg, his fractured and otherwise injured. John P. Martis, of Salem, Va., ginned man, on his way to South Northland left hand badly mashed and body bruised. The slightly injured who went to their homes, were: George R. Gleann, of Prospect, Va., mall clerk. William F. Murray, of Waverly, Va., mall clerk. C. E. Carper, of Pulaaski, express messenger. Milton Bones, of Christiansburg, signalman. Mike McMahon, white, of Crewe, and Zack Pr. ce, colored, of Big Tunnel, Va. All of the passengers were more or less shaken up, but, besides the above no one sustained injuries of consequence. In one of the rear Pull mana was General Superintendent Riton and Mrs. Rkon and Delegate W. Rand of Nottown. Every point of contact was made and those needing more than temporary treatment were brought to the hospital here as soon as possible. The engine passed the point of Janger without damage, and the enlisteer and fireman were not hurt. The road was blocked for some hours, and transfers had to be made at the scene acceded. The enlisteer-colored men who were fatally injured were caught and plinned in the wreck of the mail car and colored coach. OFFICIAL STATEMENT. An official statement given out by the railway company this evening says: Train No. 16, passing a point about one half mile east of Hebron at a clock this morning, was derailed and nearly crushed by eight cars including three sleepers, leaving the rails, caused by an arch bar breaking under the front truck of the engine, the bar catching a crossing plank at a road crossing, carrying the plank to the switch at 104-mile sliding, where it caught in a frog, derailing the tender and cars. The one unknown colored passenger, badly injured, and will likely die. Sam Holmes, colored brakeman, Crewe, Va., badly injured about body Zack Price, colored Big Tunnel, Va., slightly injured. Layton Moore, white, Lynchburg, Va., left hip broken. B. J. Brown, colored train porter, left leg injured, badly cut and bruised. C. E. Carper, express messenger, Puttkila, Va., slightly injured. G. R. Glenn, mail clerk, Prospect Va., slightly injured. W. H. Murray, mall clerk. Waverly Va. slightly injured. Lewis Gallago, Italian, Strong, Pa. badly injured. J. F. Martin, signalman, Salem, Ma. and Milton Bones, signalman, Christiansburg Va. slightly injured. White passengers helped to rescue the injured Negroes, and wreck trains were soon at the scene with a corps of Doctors and nurses. Traffic was delayed about four hours by the wreck. Miraculous was the escape of the occupants of eight cars on the Norfolk and Western passenger train, No. 16, this morning about 4 o'clock, about three miles west of Fords, some thirty miles west of Petersburg. The train, the fast passenger train from Roanoke to Norfolk, and was running a bit late. It was hitting up distance at the rate of about sixty miles an hour. Nine passengers were hurt, three of them very badly and two fatally. The train was carrying parters on the train, both colored men. One of the baggage masters received a slight cut on the wrist, but was otherwise unhurt. The train was made up of nine cars, and is recarded as one of the host trains in the service. The enclave and the ninth car only remained unmanned. Right of the cars left the tracks one of them turning over several times. Six of these cars are declared to be wrecks and absolutely unfit for further use in any capacity. The cause of the wreck is not known, but it is believed that a truck under the train struck a piece of a fence in the middle of the whole trouble followed the detainment of the tender. WHAT PASSENGER SAW. George P. Adams, of Blackstone, one of the passengers on the wrecked train, reached this city at noon, being some four hours or more late in meeting to the city on important business. "The train was late," but just how much I do not know, said Mr. Adams, who was seen at the Capital soon after his arrival. "The cars were fairly well filled and how the occupants managed to escape without hearing evidences of the wreck I cannot understand. The Eichler, the cars left, the tracks, the fire, the cars for the scrap pile. They will have to be burned where they are, in my opinion. "Nine persons were hurt, three of them badly, and I believe that at least two of them will die from the effects of the injuries. I have not a scratch that I know of—for which I thanked me, my but, and that was replaced with a new one as soon as I rot to the city. "We were running sixty miles an hour, according to the railroad man, and I am not prepared to deny that we were not travelling at that rate of speed. I helped other men to get one of the injured men from the wreck. "The train force was well organized, and the superintendent himself was on hand—being a passenger. Every precaution was taken, the flagmen and a messenger was dispatched to bring help. "Wreck trains from Crewe and Peterburg were sent at once," bringing passenger cars and physicians. Then arrived with all possible speed the wrecked train was transferred and the interior of the wounded men were dressed." BENATOR BROOK IS WRECK. Senator R. K. Brock, of Farmville, representing the Twenty-eighth District, was in the second, so were Senator W. A. Gurrell, of Henry and Deborah W. A. Land, of Blount stores. All of these businessmen escaped without library. Speaking of the wreck, Senator Brock said: "I had taken the wreck of Farmville and was on my way to Blount meet. We had left Formerly three five minutes late, and the train going along a good speed—every one of them was a hour, so far as I am able to judge. "I was stretched across the road, sleep when the crash came. It was a sudden far, but I did not leave the seat, though I can tell you, was awakened in a mather which I did not get to see. I did not get a scratch of any sort, and how any of the people on the train managed to get out alive, especially after viewing the wreck to-day, I am at a loss to understand. "The cars are badly broken up, and they will be unfit for any other exercise except to move about to where the crash were reduced when they were crashed against each other." "There was a thing which I think deserves credit. A Mr. J. W. Womack, of Farmville. He was going to Suffolk, where he is engaged in business. When we began to pour out of the cars our attention was attracted to a colored man who had been caught under the cars as they went over. His leg were caught under heavy timbers, firmly plioned, and in the way. Mr. Womack got a shovel, a return, pick and reconditioned two colored porters from the sleeping cars. Under his direction they dig the man out. Mr. Womack took a hand with the shovel and the pick and I did the same. Mr. Womack, however deserves the credit, for he directed the work and was the first to see the position of the colored man. He is fairly hurt. The white men saved his life. We were delayed some four or five hours, and I am thankful that I got out without a hurt of any sort. I have just telephoned my wife that I am unhurt." SENATOR GARRETT SHAKEN UP. Senator William A. Garrett, of Henry County, who had been to the home to spend Sunday, was also on the legislators to get a shaking up. He was in the sleeper, and managed to get away without being other than ruddy disturbed in his slumberby. He was late in getting to the Senate to day, but appeared to be very well satisfied to be here at all. “I was not knocked out of my berth, but it was a sudden stopping that I shall not soon forget. I had gone to Roanoke and had taken the sleeper there for Richmond, and was sleeping the sleep of the just. Of course, we had to get out in a hurry. When I did get out all the men had been rescued, those passengers in the day coaches not having to get dressed before they got out. It was awfully cold, and we made a fire on the side of the truck for the comfort of the passengers who were unable to get back on the cars. The Inurest men were taken to Petersburg for medical treatment.” o石, Delegate W. A. Land, of Blackstone, was one of the first to get to the newspaper men when he got here and to tip them off to the story, remarking that it was the most wonderful thing he had ever seen—all tattered and being wrecked and splintered and no one killed in the accident.

Distressing Conditions We have received the following communication which explains itself: January 23, 1912. My Dear Mr. Mitchell: I am enclosing you a clipping or rather a port on of the New Orleans Heights Street. Second, relative to the twenty-six hundred of colonies families or persons in the various Parishes mentioned in the article. I will say that I am in a position to hear a great deal that outliders can get a chance to and I think from what I have picked up here and there, that there is an organized band of White savages who have a clan similar to the Klu Klux Klan, whose object is to extort Jefersones and peaceable colored people in certain Parishs or Counts as we term them. I am persuaded to believe the authorities are aware of this clan of murderers, but they are gathering in all the colored presachers claiming they are teaching a doctrine that stimulates their followers to such acts; it is simply a ruse to create sentiment against these colored people and to abuild the guilty savages. And the amazing part of it is that not until yesterday was any reward offered for the apprehension of these criminals. The Governor offered Five Hundred Dollars reward for the capture of those connected-with the crimes after twenty-one had been killed. Should you mention this for God's sake, never mention on my name or from whence it came as it would mean death to me. Of course, in the larger cities a Negro has some degree of protection but here in the country Parishes you are considered as cattle. I am ours in sympathy for the oppressed.

In the same year he exalted places to be filled on the to Allen Chapel, Kansas episcopal bench. Men who have been called of God, educated, trained and fitted for service, whose practical experience as a successful pastor, whose broad sympathies have been responsive to the yearnings of men and women reaching out to them, and whose knack for touch of divine hands, which men soul-rich and powerful, are the kind of material the church needs and humanity wants to be elevated to the doeascan purple of our Methodism. Such a character is Rev. F. Jesse Peek, D. D., of the First A. M. E. Church of Los Angeles, Cal. Hosp. of Elmorce, Md., he has all of his ministers in A. M. E. Church. We can all the more appreciate and account for his ability when we know that he halls from a family of ministers. As for back as can be traced the men of his family were ministers, he being one of the third generation in which both himself and brother are our humble servants following in the footsteps of their father, Peek, who was a minister in the A. M. E. Church forty years. His grandfather, Nathaniel Peck, was a delegate to the General Conference which met in Baltimore in 1840. His great uncle, John Peck, was a delegate to the General Conference in Pittsburgh in 1860. He attended a Catholic school in Baltimore and this had much to do with developing his great love for music and art. He graduated from Storer College at Harper's Ferry, W. Va., in 1880, where he earned his way by working at odd times. Much of his time was spent teaching in the public schools in Maryland. In 1885 he began the study of Theology in Oberl's College course in Howard University in 1892. His first appointment was given by Bishop Turner at Catlettsburg, Ky., the next by Bishop Wayman to Willhamport, Md., and while he there saved the church from public sale; after Bishop Arnelt sent him to Clear Springs, Md., from thence Blush or Campbell sent him to Washington, where he there erected Campbell Church. There were many differences, but was greatly added finchness by Bishon Handy. This experience marked the begin- Building Condemned at Once. $12,000.00 worth of Goods must no, regardless of Cost.

The constant attendance of Frederick Douglas at Campbell had much to do with the increase in the congregation, and the prominence given on the pastor's weekly sermons in "The Star." In 1832 Bishop Handy appointed Bishop St. Joseph, M. At this place he found old church building and the parsonage heavily mortgaged. He succeeded in removing this debt, and left a handsome edifice as the result of his labor. From here he was elected President of Western University, and there at a great sacrifice to himself he made possible the Western University of to day. In 1836 he led the delegation from the North Missouri Conference to the general conference in Wintersville has been a member of every General Conference since that time. In the same year he was appointed to Allen Chapel, Kansas City, Mo., by Bishop Handy as successor to Dr. Parka. Remaining there five years he built the church (in which the General Conference of 1912 will meet) at a cost of 420000 enclosed in He. He will be sent by Blythe to shorter Chapel, Denver. Here he paid off the debt and installed a costly pipe organ; it will be remembered that during his pastorate Rey. Peel led the fight against the drawing of the "color line" at the "International Sunday School Convention" in which he was victorious. After three years at Shorter he was transferred to Bishop Shaffer, where he served his second term, making ten years in all, and increased the membership from 350 to 1100. The degree of D. D. was conferred on him by both Morrison Brown and Wilberforce. He was sent by Bishop Grant in 1908 to Los Angeles, Cal., where he has doubled the membership, which is still increasing it, and frequently at his servic standing room at a premium. In every department of church work Rev. Peek has been successful—nor is he great on the financial side alone, but also as a speaker, for he has the power to thrill any audience with such power. Such is the man that the great West and his host of friends through out the connection are asking the church through its representatives to elevate to the bishopric. The growing importance of our Methodism west of the Rockies, which has been spreading its borders by leap and surging during the last decade is a just reason for the demands for a bishop in that section should be heeded. Dr. Peek stands for recognition of our young manhood and womanhood, the hope of the race and the arbiters of the destinies of our nature church. It would be a splendid tribute to his fitness, his labor and achievements to the building he has erected as a museum African Methodism with the highest position in the gift of the Church he has served so ably and devotedly. Yours for the Church and the race D. Lay Delegate Missouri, Conference A Hard Knot Mr. Editor:—Please give me a small space in your esteemed and valuable paper to say a few words in regard to our High School. The Principal has said that he wants the High School turned into an industrial instead of a high and normal school and he will have his plans carried out if the coloured people sit with sealed lips and folded arms. We know just how hard our people worked to get the colored teachers for the colored schools, and then pass, we had the colored principals for the term. And now we do not Protest against our only High School being turned entirely into an industrial school, we will have no more colored teachers, to take the place of present teachers, and then, of course the Board would be compelled to put the white teachers back into the colored schools again. I may. God for such a backward step. So please let me think and act for our children and the coming generation. Who will answer? Echo answer. Who?

The prisoner was surrounded and hundreds of bullets wreaked into his body. The crime with which the man was alleged was committed about "T" o'clock last night while the young woman was on her way home from work in the downtown district. She was seized by Powell, drawn down an embankment and assaulted. Two men who had heard the young woman's order, arrived on the scene just on the man made his way up the embankment with his victim's purpose. The officers landed their man in fall, but when news of the gathering of a mob was received, the colored man was recently taken out a back door with the intention of hurrying him to Atlanta for safekeeping. The police stopped in the railroad yard waiting for a trak, when they were found by the mob. To day at noon a crowd of between 300 and 400 men gathered behind an undertaking establishment in the heart of the city, entered the embalming room, where the body of the corpse was placed only the morning had been taken. They placed the body in a wagon, carried it to the heart of the Negro section of the city, and, after saturating it with oil, the torch was applied, and the body burned. The coroner appeared on the scene of the lynchship to-day. The verdict placed on the marshal's arrest. Up to nightfall all was quiet, and officials stated that no further trouble was feared. Should Have Stock to Fill Job. (Indianapolis, Ind. Freeman.) J. Thomas Newsome, general counsel of the True Reformers organization for existence has thrown it greatly in the light. To be the chief counsel at such an event, for Mr. Newsome, he says. If I were seen on the streets in conversation with an indicted official the rumor at once went the rounds that I had sold out. If I owed a man in Richmond one dollar which I sometimes had to borrow, because my business had almost gone to wreck at home by reason of my attention to the True Reformers, it immediately became the subject of public gossip. If I owed a hotel and mingled with the prominent men whom I might meet there, I was childed and admonished to be a little more circusman. When a receivership was applied for to take charge of the affairs of the organization, it was published far and wide that the action was instigated by me, because one of the lawyers in the case was at one time my partner." Mr. Newsome should have concluded that he would be some body and attack to his job.

The party is said to go under the name of "Smith" or "Nelson" and is described as a man, of about forty-five, tall, weighing about 180 or 190 pounds, smooth to heavy hair, iron gray hair, teeth containing a number of gold fillings. Smith usually introduces himself to the unfortunate housewife by presenting a card reading thus: "The Armour-Swift Soap Company, Limited, New York, Boston, Philadelphia's Special Agents for Laurent Fils, et Cle, Paris, France." at the same time offering his victim an alluring bargain of toilet and laundry soaps. With orders amounting to $10.50, the prospective buyer is given the choice of premiums, carpets, rugs, sideboards. He usually secures cash payment at the time of obtaining the "order," and then leaves for other parts. Many people have already been duped by this fellow, who has no connection with either Swift & Company or Armour & Company of Chicago. Swift & Company will be glad to pay the above reward to any person for the apprehension and conviction of this swindler. $150,000 Endowment Paid. Portsmouth, Va. Feb. 2, 1912.
