William will be reimbursed to him and the debt on his account will be paid by the district in all of the "Any officer or employer of any bank, banking institution, savings bank, savings society or savings institution, who shall take and receive money from a depositor with the actual knowledge that the said bank, banking institution, savings bank, savings society, or savings institution is, at the time, insolvent, shall be guilty of embezzlement, and shall be punished by a fine, double the amount so received and imprisoned not less than one or more than three years in the penitentiary for each offense.

Commonwealth Attorney Minetree Folkes was ready with the new indictments in the cases of the ex-officials of the Savings Bank of the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers. Many witnesses were present. Attorney J. Thomas Newsome of Newport News, Va., who resigned as General Counsel for the Order was on hand and proved by his actual appearance that all reports relative to his disappearance were untrue. He took part in the proceedings and wood ready to lend all the assistance in his power to secure the re-indictment of the formerly indicted ex-officials. SIX INDICTMENTS RETURNED. The Grand Jury brought in six joint indictments against Mennar, William P. Burrell, ex-Grand Worthy Secretary; J. C. Robertson, ex-General Counsel; William L. Taylor, ex-Grand Worthy Master and Edward Milla, Jr., ex-Vice President. Six separate indictments were returned against Mr. A. W. Holmes, also ex-Grand Worthy Master. The charges were as follows: two indictments for receiving money from Mr. A. D. Price, the sums being $775.00 and $182.25 after it was known by them that the bank was insolvent, one each in the following cases: Thomas J. Blackwell, $22.00; A. G. Boe, $6.77; T. G. Tinsley, $299.00 and B. A. Cephan, $70.46. The witnesses in the cases are Monsur. A. D. Price, Thomas J. Blackwell, A. G. Boe, T. G. Tinsley, B. A. Cephan, C. C. Barkedale, Wm. Wilson, Joseph Jackson, W. B. Chesterman, W. A. Moncure and E. M. Pileher. EX-GRAND WORTHY MASTER HOLMES SEPARATED. It will be observed that Attorney R. Browlin Byrd has disassociated or separated A. W. Holmes from the other officials in the case and while six indictments appear against him individually, it enables him to "hold off" so to speak until the other cases are out of the way, so he elects to go to trial. Mr. A. W. Holmes was Grand Warranty Minister and caused the arrival of La R. Phillips, one of the clerks, who is now under indictment for supplying and who is allowed to have admitted his guilt. There is evidently not the best of feeling between him and those prosecuted in the indictments and his criminal hear drawn a strong line with the result that all indictments are that his accomplices a problem of vengeance in the coming legal struggle. others. Many character witnesses will figure in the trial for the defense and every effort will be made to show that the officials did not know that the True Reformers' Savings Bank was insolvent. It looks as though all of the sins of omission and commission will be loaded upon Cashier R. T. Hill: He being absent, he is no doubt best able to bear them. The prosecution will have an up-hill road for the reason that it must prove that the indicted ex-officials knew that the bank was insolvent at the time the deposits were made.

Richmond, Va., March 27.—(Special)—A Virginia Negro in far off Roumania who is anxious to become a Benedict will doubtless be in tears when the next American mail brings him and information from the State Health Department that there is no legal record of his birth in Virginia, thanks to the absence of a vital statistics law. The Negro, who styles himself a "colored music hall artist" and declares that he is "always jumping from one country to another," is at present in the Balkan country and is anxious to take into himself a wife. A stranger in a strange land, he has been informed by the inexorable Roumanian authorition that he can procure a marriage license if he will produce a legal certificate of his birth, but that if he has no birth certificate, there will be no welding belts for him. The Negro, whose letter was received yesterday at the State Health Department, claims Boydton, Meckenburg county, as his home and pro fessors himself the thirteenth act of his sable line. He is sure of the date of his birth and knows where he first saw the light, but he has no legal certificate that will satisfy the relentless officers of the law. Health Commissioner William would be glad to oblige the unfortunate artist, who tearfully beams a certificate of his birth, but the State authorities cannot give him the desired document. "This is a typical example," said Dr. Williams today, "of the need of a vital statistics law. In Roumania and in all continental countries, every man is provided with a birth certificate. Births and deaths have been registered for centuries; any man without a birth certificate is looked upon with suspicion. This demonstrates the marriage laws effective and enables the Authorities to be sure that no fraud is practiced either in respect to identity or age. "In this State we have had no such regulations. Unless a man is born in a city or town which keeps its own vital statistics, he has heretofore never been able to secure such a legal record of his birth. The new vital statistics law will, of course, remedy this deplorable condition and will give to every man a permanent record of his life; but these certificates naturally, will be of no value to prospective Benedicts until twenty-one years from this time. The new law goes into effect on June 15th, and will then provide for the registration of every birth and death occurring in Virginia. All the expenses and inconvenience of trying to prove a birth date will then be obviated. Such cases as this cannot occur." SEMINARY NOTES Lynchburg, Va., April 2.--The Deacon's Union of Lynchburg and vicinity held their monthly session at the Va., Theological Seminary and College and in that meeting gave the school a cash donation of $50.00 and pledged their moral and financial support to the aid of our work here. Deacon Daniel Peachy is the President, Deacon E. A. Bondurant, Secretary, Deacon A. Humbles, Treasurer. This is indeed a progressive body of Christian men, doing real constructive work in and about Lynchburg. They hold interesting sessions discuss topics and are enthusiastic in all of their debates. These meetings are largely attended. We hope them great success. Dr. R. H. Bowling of Norfolk spent several days with us, lecturing in the Theological school and also delivering several popular lectures in the Literary Departments of the school.

(Timen-Dispatch, April 1, 1912.) Officers Gerring and Crump, yesterday captured Junius Meredith, nineteen years old, who stabbed and killed James Hubbard, also colored, at Seventeenth and Franklin Streets on Saturday night. He was caught at the home of a relative in Twenty-ninth Street, near M. Following an all night search by the police to find him, Meredith early yesterday morning called the First Police Station by telephone, gave his name and said he wanted to surrender himself, and that he could be found at his home, 1013 Buchanan Street. Officers Gerring and Crump were sent for him, but when they arrived at the Buchanan Street address they found that Meredith had left. They secured information which led them to Twenty-ninth Street. Officer Gerring guarded the front door while Officer Crump was about to search the house by entering through the rear door. Just as he opened at Meredith walked into his arms. ADMITS MURDER. When seen last night he admitted that he killed Hubbard, but could give no lucid reason for his act. He said that Hubbard, who was also nineteen years old, had attempted to cut him and that he stabbed him in the neck with a pen-knife to defend himself. Why Hubbard should have attacked him Meredith could not explain The two had long been friends. The prisoner's story does not agree with that told by witnesses, who said the two were standing on the curb chatting in a normal manner and were not aware that anything was amiss until Hubbard fell. Coroner Taylor will hold an inquest this morning at 10 o'clock in the basement of the City Hall.

"To protect an absent woman is in all ways mainly," she said. "I thank you for caring for my name." Now, I should have grown warmer in the face and in the heart at this, but the very truth is that I felt a chill some over me as though I were getting deeper into cold water. I groomed her mind. Now, how was I, who had kissed her at the lane, who had defended her when absent, who called now in state with his father and mother in the family carriage—how was I to my I was not of the same mind as she? I pulled the ones of the hunting dog on till he yipped in pain. We were deep in the great Sheraton orchard. Presently we came to a fallen apple tree, a giant perhaps planted there generations before. We wanted ourselves here, and we should have been happy, for we were young, and all about us we sweet and comforting, yet, on my肩, I would rather at that moment have been talking to my mother than to Grice Sheraton. I did not know why. For some time we not there, pulling at apple blossoms and grass stones and talking of many things quite beside the real question, but at last there came an interruption. I heard the sound of a low, rumbling below approaching through the trees, and as I looked up I saw, coming forward with a certain confidence, Sir Jonas, the red Liberator butt, with a ring in his nose, and in his carriage an intense haughtiness for one so young. I knew all about Sir Jonas for we had bred him on our farm. Miss Grace gathered her stigts for instant flight, but I quickly pushed her down. I knew the nature of Sir Jonas very well and saw that flight would mean disaster long before she could reach any place of safety. "Keep quiet." I said to her in a low voice. "Don't make any quick motions or he'll charge." Come with me slowly now." Very pale, and with eyes starting in the intruder, she arose as I lade her and slowly moved toward the tree which I had in mind. "Now, quick!" I said, and, catching her beneath the arms, I swung her up into the low branches. Mr Jonas came on with hand down, and his horn missed my trouser leg by no more than an inch as I dodged around the tree. At this I laughed, but Miss Grace screamed, until between my busy actions I called to her to keep quiet. Mr Jonas tapped on his hand then and bolted for the tree where Miss Grace had her refuge. Then I saw it was the red lining of her Parisian parcel which had enraged him. "Throw it down!" I called out to her. She could not find it in her heart to toss straight down to Sir Jonas, who would have trampled it at once, so she cast it sideway toward me, and each by inch I beat Sir Jonas in the race to it. Then I resolved that he should not have it at all and so tossed it into the branches of another tree as I ran. "Come," called the girl to me, "jump; Get up into a tree. He can't catch you there." But I was in no mind to take to a tree and wait for some ingorious discovery by a rescue party from the house. I found my fighting blood rising and became of the mind to show Sir Jonas who was his master regardless of who might be his owner. He charged me again and again, keeping me hard put to it to find trees enough even in an orchard full of trees. Once he ripped the bark half off a big trunk as I sprang behind it, and he stood with his head still pressed there not two feet from where I was with my hand against the tree braced for a sudden spring. His front foot dug in the sod, his eyes were red, and between his grumbles his breath came in puffs and soars of anger. Near by me on the ground lay a rugged limb cut from some tree by the prunera, now dry, tough and not ill shaped for a clutch. I reached back with my feet and pulled it within reach, then stepped quietly and got it in hand, breaking a few of the lenoir or banchever with one foot as we still stood thereaping each other. "Now, mr," said 1 to Mr. James at last, "I shall show you that no little hull two years old can make me a laughing-stock." Then I sprang out and carried the war into Africa forth with. Or hears was surprised when I come from behind the tree and swung a hard blow to the side of his tender nose, and so I repaired him he grinned, blow out his breast and turned his head, to one side with closed eyes, raising it almost to pain. Once more I crawled into her arm, the mouth, and this time he beaded loudly in apprehension and anxiety and so turned to pain. This gift of his affection me held upon his tail, and so adored to hear I followed, plucking him upon the hand with always careful attention, as I went, through his mouth when he blushed breast swish. Then with kind words and with a voice which he might better to have answered I followed him to the mouth and opened this apprehension out of the grasped to wish he be so good whisper in mouth. After public, upon hearing I could summon, I returned to the own where whispered with still pardoned whistle had helped down to which came voice. That can make Cordial a nice addition to those especially in this world you are expected to be. Also, if you are not afraid to give a slight to any little detail, you are likely to enjoy the memorable details. When a little piece of art is built in long days, it can be a wonderful addition to your home. Gram, and we caused confusion again than our fallen apple tree. Her hand and upon my soul digged. We must dig it again. They lost. Our life not also. I do not know how. I do not hold myself either guilty or guiltless. I am only a man now. I was only a boy then. But ever since I had my notions, right or wrong, as to what a gentleman should be and do. At least this is how Grice Shoraton and I both engaged. I shall never forget the scene there under the naked of the Shoraton from yard which met my gaze when Miss Grance and I came about the corner of the house. Before us and facing each other stood my father and Colonel Shoraton. Raimond His Breath Came in Puffs and Sports of Anger. the former standing straight and tall Colonel Sheraton with tightly clinched hand resting on his stick, his white hair thrown back, his shaggy brown contracted. My mother sat in the low rocker which had been brought to her and opposite her, leaning forward, wa- Mrs. Sheraton, tall, thin, her black eyes fixed upon the men. Orme, also standing, his hands behind him, regarded the troubled men intently. Near at hand was, the Sheraton's Jim, his face also fixed upon them, and such was his own emotion that he had tipped his silver tray and dropped one of the Sheraton cut glass julep glasses to the nod. "I tell you, Cowles," said Colonel Liberaton, grinding his stick into the turf, "you do not talk like a Virginian. If the north keeps on this course then we southerners must start a country of our own. Look man"—He swept about him an arm which included his own wide paces and ours, lying shining clear to the thin line of the old Blue Ridge. "We must fight for these homes!" "You forget, colonel," said my father in his low, deep voice, "that this man Lincoln has not yet been elected, and that even if elected he may prove a greater figure than we think. He has not yet had a chance to learn the south." Orme had been standing silent, his face indifferent or faintly lighted with a habitual cynicism. Now he broke in. "He will never be elected," he said emphatically. "It would ruin the entire industry of the south. The south must secede, gentlemen. If you will allow me as a stranger to venture an opinion." My mother turned her gaze to him, but it was Sheraton who spoke. "It goes back to the old articles of federation, our first compact," he said. "From the very first the makers of this country saw that by reason of diverse industries the south was separated from the north. This accession has been written in the sky from the beginning of the world." "Nay, Brother Sheraton," broke in my mother eagerly. "It was the union of brothership that was written first in the sky." He turned to her with the bow of a gentleman. "It is you ladies who knit the world together with kindness," he said. "Alas, that men must rend it with fighting." "Alas!" whispered also. Sheraton's face was sad as he welt on with the old justification. "Jefferson would turn over in his grave if he saw Virginia divided as it is. Why, Owies, we've all the world we need here. We can live alone here, each on his own acre, a gentleman, and all the needs of government is protection and fair laws. Ouilhon was right. Better give us two peaceful countries, each living happily and content, than one at war with itself. Clay was a great man, but both he and Webster were fighting against the inevitable." "The war has already begun on the border," said my father, "My friend and partner, Colonial Mottwether of Albemarle, who is with the army in the west, says that white men are killing white men all across the lands west of the Missouri." "At least, Cousin," said Colonial Mottwether, pointing a short way apart, his hands behind his back, "we can wait until after this question." "But if the government takes action," suggested Cousin. Sheraton waited quickly. "Then war, war," he cried, "war till more Virginia is dead on the frontline and each woman starved at her breasts. Cousin, you and I will fight, a happy that you will fight."

There had been no opportunity for me to mention to Colonel and Mrs. Sberaton something that was upon my mind. I had, small chance for farewell to Miss Grace, and, if I shall admit the truth, this pleased me quite as well as not. We rode in silence for a time, my father musing, my mother silent also. It was Orme who was the first I heard to speak. "By the way, Mr. Cowles," he said, "you spoke of Colonel Meriwether of Albemarle county. Is he away in the wee? It chances that I have letters to him, and I was purposeing going into that country before long." "Indeed, sir?" replied my father. "I am delighted to know you are to meet my friend. As it chances, he is my associate in a considerable business enterprise—a splendid man, a splendid man. Merriwether. I will. If you do not mind, sold my letter to others you may have, and I trust you will carry him our best wishes from this side of the mountain." That was like my father-in-law unanimous, ever ready to accept other men as worthy of this trust and ever ready to help a stranger as he might. For myself, I confess I was more amplecious. Something about Orme set me on edge. I knew not what. I heard them speaking further about Mertweether's being somewhere in the west and heard Orme also any carelessly that he must in any case run over to Albemarle and call upon some men whom he was to meet at the University of Virginia. We did not ask his errand, and none of us suspected the purpose of the systematic visiting among the more influential center of that country. But if you will go now to that white domed building planned by Thomas Jefferson at Charlottenville and read the names on the brazen tablets by the doors, names of boys who left school there to enter a harder school, then you will see the results of the visit there of Gordon Orme. My little personal affairs were all that time so close to me that they obscured clear vision of larger ones. I did not bear all the talk in the carriage, but pulled my horse in behind and no rode on moodily, guiding out across the pleasant lands to the foot of old Calcutta and the dim Blur Ridge. A sudden discontent assailed me. Must I live here always? Must I settle down and be simply a farmer, forever? I wanted to ride over there over the Rock Fish gap, where once King Charles' men broke a bottle in honor of the king, and took possession of all the lands west of the Pacific. The west—the word in some way thrilled in my blood—I knew not why. I was a boy. I had not learned to question any emotion, and introspection troubled me no more than it did my painter dog. Before we had separated at the door of our house I motioned to my mother, and we drew apart and seated ourselves beneath our own oaks in the front yard of Cowles Farms. Then I told her what had happened between Miss Grace and myself and asked her if she was pleased. "I am very content with then," she answered slowly, mentally. "Thee must think of setting, Jack, and Miss Grace is a worthy girl. I hope it will bring peace between our families always." I saw a film cross her clear, dark eye. "Peace!" she whispered to herself. "I wish that it might be." But peace was not in my heart. Leaving her presently, I once more swung over saddle and rode off across our fields as and a lever as ever closed the first day of his engagement to be wed. 60 YEARS ADVANCED PATENTS [Image of a silhouette of a head with a bald crown and a necktie.] Married Men's Traubles. It was married men's night at the revival meeting. "Let all you husbands who have troubles on your minds stand up," shouted the preacher at the height of his spasm. Instantly every man in the crowd arose except one. "Ah," exclaimed the preacher, peering out at this lone individual, who occupied a chair bear the door, "you are one in a million."

Colored people must cultivate good manners and practice politeness to sample everyone. It will pay in the long run. The segregation of the colored people in the Southland has done more to increase crime amongst them than anything else. We need friends among the better class of white people and we should bend our energies to the task of obtaining them. One word in our favor from the lips of an influential white citizen will do us more good than a thousand words from another source. You can no longer tell a person's attitude towards colored people by his politics. Some of the most "arrant Negro-haters in the country now are so-called Republicans and some of the best friends of the race may be found within the limits of the Democratic Party. THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK The political fight now going on in New York state is not really between President Taft and ex-President Roosevelt, but it is really between Vice-President Sherman and ex-President Roosevelt. There is evidently an understanding and an agreement that if President Taft is renominated as President, Vice-President Sherman is to be renominated as Vice-President. This will give the public the old ticket. Hon. James S. Sherman, through Chairman Barnes controls the party organisation in New York state. Col. Roosevelt has upset these calculations thus far and he is ready to do battle for his home state. It must be conceded that Hon. Theodore Roosevelt has succeeded in doing one thing and that is, he has eliminated Hon. William Howard Taft as a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, if that great body has any idea of naming a the 45th man with any hope of success at the polls. His opposition against him and the the Punjab interests which he represents have 259. been so cautic and pointed as to make it practically impossible for him to actively support President Taft. If he is re nominated at Chicago. The office holders will accordingly go into the fight with the almost certain knowledge that they are leading a forlorn hope. The only way out is to effect a compromise between the Taft and Roosevelt forces. Senator La Follette has never been a factor in the contest other than to cause trouble. He could not be elected if nominated and in this respect occupies about the same position as does President Taft. The outlook now seems to be that even if President Taft and his supporters have a majority of the delegates at Chicago, they will fear to use the power at their disposal for the reason that a breach made in the party organization, with such a representative character on one side leading it as Hon. Theodore Roosevelt will command respect and guarantee a respectful hearing by the people, who in November are to decide the contest. Col. Roosevelt's followers will be treated with consideration at Chicago unless perchance he finds it necessary to decide that his convention is the regular national convention and that President Taft and his supporters are bolters. There is much going on beneath the surface and the result may be surprising to some of the actors themselves. AN EDITOR'S PREDICAMENT. George St. Julian White, editor of the Georgia Broad-axe, who was charged with criminal libel in reproducing in the column of his journal an editorial from the Chicago, Ill. Defender, criticizing the action of jury and the authorities in condemning to death a colored man, who had killed a white man for assaulting his wife, was convicted. Editor White was at first incarcerated in jail at Augusta, Ga., and then released on a bell of $700.00. When his case was called he pleaded guilty by agreement and wan sentenced to twelve months in the chain gang and to pay a fine of $400.00. We presume if the editor of the Chicago, Ill. Defender had been on trial, a sentence of death or life imprisonment would have been accorded him. These rigorous punishments for trivial offenses will yet prove the South's undoing. It was only a few years ago that Editor Wm. J. White who had spent a lifetime in Augusta was forced to seek safety in flight, and the intercession of influential white friends enabled him to return to the scene of his life's work. It was proven, we believe, that the objectionable article in the Georgia Hap tion was inserted by some of his employees and he was in nowhere responsible for its publication We regret to note these happenings for in these cases, the better class of white citizens were more or less involved and the white people had cooling time. It seems to us that of Editor White intended to plead guilty, it would have been better for him to have left that locality while under bail of $700.00. His advisors did not seem to have the best judgment. He threw himself upon the mercy of the white men there and got no mercy. We have always felt that we preferred to be a dead patrol than a live convict. Men of Editor White's callbre should either die fighting or leave the neighborhood and go to some place where they will not be required so to do. From this distance, the verdict seems to us to be rigorous and the punishment all out of proportion to the offense committed. Still, family ties and friendly counsel may have been responsible for Editor White's choice. He is a murtry to the cause of freedom of speech, where the murder of colored men is considered misdemeanors, and where labels of white men are regarded as capital offenses.

MILLER, Louth Bc. 759 In view of the fact that a resolution is pending before the Ordinance Committee of the City Council appropriating $15,000 to raise the pay of school teachers other than in the white elementary grades, the City Behool Board last night decided not to distribute at this time the $27,500 carried in the annual appropriation ordinance for increasing the pay of white elementary women teachers. TRACHING GST NO SALARY LEFT NOW. School Board Decides Not to Bid Into Funds on Council Ordered. In lieu of the request of the School Board and the recommendation of the Committee on Finance that a sum be provided in the budget from which meritorious increases might be made in such classes of teachers as are believed to be underpaid at present, the Council at the instance of the White Elementary Teachers' Association, adopted the Pollock-Umlauf mendment, granting the entire year's increase of $27,500 to the 225 white elementary women teachers, leaving the 223 other teachers with no increase whatever. realizing that the colored teachers juniors, principals and many of the male teachers; as well as some of those teaching at the High School, are underpaid, and that the increase granted the elementary white teachers would make their salaries out of proportion to what was being paid to those teaching higher branches and more difficult subjects, a supplementary resolution appropriating $15,000 additional was offered in the Council and is now pending in the Ordinance Committee, where the flight of the white elementary women teachers was principally waged and where the plan for an investigation of the public schools originated The School Board at its meeting last night received an official copy of the appropriation ordinance, with the various items for schools, including the item of $27,500 for increasing the white elementary women teachers along a proposed scale ranging over the first six years of service. The City Attorney has held that the power of fixing the salaries of teachers was in the School Board, not in the Council, and that any such action as that attempted by the Council in amending the budget could only be advisory. Pending action on the further appropriation of $15,000, and to prevent the disruption of the schools by gross inequalities in pay for the various grades of service; the board ordered that the extra appropriation of $27,500 born not distributed at this time. Superintendent J. A. C. Chandler reported an enrollment in the public schools in excess of the entire enrollment of last year of 1,148 pupils. It was decided that the dedication of the new Arents public school building, at Pine and China streets, will take place on Saturday afternoon, April 13, at 4:30 o'clock. A flag and Bible will be presented by the Junior Order of United American Mechanics. The School Board received a communication from the Board of Health recommending that the period of quar antine on account of measles be reduced from three weeks to twelve days, which recommendation was approved by the School Board so far as it affects pupils and teachers of the schools. The first session of the special committee appointed to investigate the public schools will be held this afternoon at 4:30 o'clock ... Times-Dispatch, March 29th. DRAKES BRANCH, VA. NEWS. The feeling resulting from special guest entertainments which have been frequent here of late and which severed several friendly relations was to-day viewed in a way, commendable when the cause was made known. The facts are our boys must learn first to respect themselves. They should go nowhere but to work with overalls. Then, too, smoking chewing and the smell of whiskey are offensive and especially to the fairer sex and should be avoided, at least in company. It will be seen then, that special guest does not always mean invited persons, but those who respect themselves. The death of Thaddeus Daniel, Sr. was surprising though not unexpected as he had been alluring for a long time. In his death Organ Hill Church loses a faithful and earnest deacon and Drakes Branch a respected and useful citizen. A widow and several children mourn their loss. M. M. Lee has returned from Itchmond where he spent a few days on business. NOLORED FORGER CAUGHT AT BANK. Student Had Already. Cashed Two Checks When He Walked Right Into Trap. Twice successful in passing forged checks, John Freeman, a seventeen-year-old coloured student, yesterday tried to cash a third, which led to his undoing at the Bank of Commerce and Trusts, Ninth and Main streets. On March 8 Freeman is said to have cashed a check at the bank bear ing what was supposed to be the signature of Mrs. Luce B. Watson, of 1139 West Avenue, for the sum of $9.50. Noting nothing unusual, the paying teller handed over the money without hesitation. On March 16 he called a similar check for $6. In the meantime the account of Mrs. Watson became overdrawn much to her surprise. She had her account balanced, and when a batch of canceled checks was returned to her she noticed the two which had been crashed by the young man. She at once pronounced them as forgeries. WALKED INTO TRAP The bank was notified, and the officers took steps to catch the boy. For the third time he appeared yesterday morning with another check for $6.20. The teller delayed in giving him the money, while one of the bank's officers, who had seen the boy enter telephoned police headquarters, and Detectives Wilkinson and Bolton were hurried to the bank.

About a month ago, when the deposit book of Mrs. Watson was at the bank inquiry was made over the telephone whether it had been balanced. The voice at the other end of the wire explained that it was Mr. Watson and that he wished to send for it for his wife. A few minutes later a colored man appeared for the book which contained checks previously cashed. Whether this colored man was Freeman cannot be positively stated. However, the police are certain that in this manner he succeeded in getting a copy of the signature of Mrs. Watson. The book was found the following morning just in front of the bank entrance. Freeman lives with his mother at 620 North Ninth Street. She is employed to clean some of the offices in the Mutual Building, in which the bank is located, and the police are now working on Plums which may implicate her in the matter. Mrs. Watson is the wife of H. L. Watson, district manager of the Maritime Mercantile Agency. Timer-Dispatch, March 29. The Grand Jury Indicts Them Again.

WALTER CHRISTIAN, Clerk BOY IS SLAIN BY COLORED PLAYMATE. Robert Anderson, son of Chesterfield Farmer, Killed While at Play. Robert Anderson, the eight-year-old son of Walter Anderson, a Chesterfield farmer, was shot and instantly killed yesterday morning at 11 o'clock at the home of his aunt, Mrs. Mollie Anderson, at Robins, Chesterfield county, by Hannah Milli, a young, colored servant, while playing with a single-barreled hammerless gun. Young Anderson, whose home is on an adjoining farm to that of his aunt is a frequent visitor to her home. He, with a little five-year-old sister, came over to visit their aunt yesterday morning. FIND LOADED GUN Finding her feeling ill and lying down, the brother, and slister, together with the colored girl, began playing around the house. Finding the loaded gun setting in a corner in the dining room the colored girl picked it up and began fooling with it when the weapon was suddenly discharged, the entire load entering young Anderson's head, just back of the right eye, blowing off a part of the skull. The boy fell to the floor and died instantly. CORONER SAYS ACCIDENTAL The colored girl who did the shooting was held spellbound at first, but when she realised that she had done she screamed for Mrs. Anderson. Mrs. Anderson's attention had been attracted by the report of the gun, and she ran to the boy's side. The shot had proved fatal, and he was dead when his aunt reached him. Dr J. O.

(Allen's National News Burcau, 252 West, 53rd Street.) Rev. Dr. Francis J. Grimke, for 24 years pastor of the 16th Street Presbyterian Church in Washington, and one of the most prominent churchmen and race champions in the country, delivered a stirring race at St. James Presbyterian Church last Wednesday. The address was the most notable message ever delivered to the race in the Metropolis and offered for the solution of the race problem a different measure from what is usually offered by the race speakers. While most race orators offer as the solution of the problem, education and the acquiring of wealth, Dr. Grimke says that the building up of a race strong character and morality will be the only means by which the problem can be solved. Dr. Grimke said that a race is respected only in proportion to its character. The subject of Dr. Grimke's address was "The Chief Stakeholder By Which Races and Individuals Should Be Judged." The meeting was a notable one and was held under the auspices of the New York Historical and Literary Society of St. James Church of which Dr. A. S. Reed is the president. It was the regular monthly meeting of the society, and the auditorium of the church was fairly well packed. It was a representative audience and noted the best in the official and business life of the Metropolis. In the audience were many, strong supporters of Dr. Grimke who have followed his long and honorable career, and who are admirers of his courageous leadership. The meeting was called to order by President Reed and the invocation was given by the Rev. Dr. E. F. Egglertons of Newark. The national hymn was sung and Rev. Dr. Hayos, pastor of the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church was called to preside. Dr. Hayes in presenting Dr. Grimke told of his long life of service dedicated to his race and of his national reputation as an orator. "If any one here has not heard of Dr. Grimke, he ought to go and hide himself," said Dr. Hayes in the midst of laughter. Dr. Grimke, who is well known in the Metropolis received an ovation when he rose to speak. Dr. Grimke felt his message and was listened to with marked attention. He caught the audience by surprise when it was seen that Dr. Grimko had struck out along an entirely different line. Taking as a basis for his subject "God is no respecter of person" Dr. Grimke scored American sense of justice as exemplified in the courts of the nation. He made a plea for equality before the law for both races and wealth nor color should not influence judges in rendering a declaration. "In the administration of justice," said Dr. Grimke, "judges should deal with all men alike and should not be bias in their decisions. Wealth should not be considered in administering justice, but each case decided upon its merit. The poor man in America is at a decided disadvantage over the rich man who misfeeds a kind of influence that the poor man does not. According to American notion a black man is looked down upon because of his color." Speaking emphatically Dr. Grimke said, "A white man must not think himself superior to a Negro because of his color or wealth or position in life. Character should be the stand and by which individuals and races should be judged and not color. God is no respecter of person, and the same standard that He has set up is the one that we should accept. If we would accept this standard, there would be little friction between the room. "The only thing that will solve the race problem no far as the Negro is concerned is the building up of a strong majority and character. Education whether higher or industrial will not move the problem, but the race will be respected only in proportion to its character." Dr. Grimke said, "As a race we are given too much to judging men and women by their dress and social position and fail to give to the man or woman of character their proper attitude. I am strongly opposed, said Dr. Grimke, "to paying around three of public functions and making certain men合合 especially those they have an official position." "I am glad many things these men have done given of shame and disbelief and got below the penalty men for crimes that will not work their way. I am grateful institutions like the U.S. having men to develop characters before them when it is difficult and those men are not free." this power blow. I am presumed to be a dwarf in Washington where a man was beheaded to squall below the F. C. A there safety on the ground that he was a Negro infant. A servant young man when asked why it was he did not attend, he replied. "I was with him in a saloon the night before." "On the Y. M. C. A. appoint the confidence of the community and of the young men when such a thing is present? We must impress upon life, their friendship in valued not so much for position as it is for their worth and character. If these men of questionable characters are placed to the front, what incentive is there to the young men of the race." Dr. Grimke made a plea for an even standard of morality for men and women and said the present system of modern society in demanding a different code for men and women is both contrary to the laws of God and common sense. So ringing was the message of Dr. Grimke until he was frequently interrupted by aplause. At the conclusion of Dr. Grimke's address he was heartily applauded, and the address was referred to as a new message to the race. Among those who spoke complimentary of Dr. Grimke's message were Assistant Deputy C. W. McDougall who regarded it as a master address. Others on the rostrum were Lawyer Wilford Smith, Rev. W. R. Lawton of St. James Presbyterian Church and Rev. E. Egglertone of Newark. At the conclusion of the speech making, a reception was tendered to Dr. Grimke. Your correspondent in a brief interview with Dr. Grimke found him an interesting race leader and race champion. He has strong character and is a credit to the clergy of the race. Taft Wins at the Primary by Fraud. At the primary election last Tuesday, when election for delegates to the National Convention was held, Taft polled the largest number of delegates to the Convention getting 90 over Roosevelt's 7. It was hardly a fair election and was manifested by fraud and political trickery. The Taft men completely dominated the situation and exercised the most disgraceful tactics in carrying their own point. Roosevelt watchers at the polls were not allowed fair play and many booths were driven away from the polls. Up until a late hour at many of the polls there were no ballots which deprived thousands of voters of the privilege of voting. At the polls where there were no ballots the Roosevelt voters suffered the most. At the polling booths in Harlem where the largest number of colored people reside. Roosevelt men were maliciously contested and discouraged in many ways against voting. A personal canvass among the voters of the race found a large number of the most influential members of the race lined up for the Colonel. They expressed themselves as being thoroughly disguised with the methods exercied by the Taft crowd at the polls last Wednesday. In the opinion of many it was a direct affront to the political decency of the state and party. Republicans openly fought each other at the polls and presented a sad spectacle of strife and dissension. A reelection has been demanded and it is believed that influence will be brought to bear to bring it about. Despite the fact that the Taft crowd won the Roosevelt men are undaunted and are working with zeal for the Colonel. Taft must go. is the slogan. Roosevelt colored head quarters has been set up in the Metropolis. Colonel Roosevelt returned to his home from his Western trip last Sunday afternoon. He expressed himself as being pleased with his trip but expressed himself in indignant tone of the way the election was handled. Colonel Roosevelt will be at his home in Oyster Bay for two days and will be gin his tour through the South about Wednesday. Reception to Rise Women Workers. Last Friday evening at St. James Presbyterian Church in West 51st street, the meeting was under the auspices of the Minute Girls Club, an organization composed of the active young women of the church. The purpose of the meeting was to acquaint the public with the work of the prominent women race workers, and to note the work they are doing for race uplift in various fields of endeavors. Some of the prominent women of the race and well known in club life of the city were present and told what they were doing for race uplift and aiding in helping fallen girls to life of service and honor. A large gathering greeted the women workers and showed their appreciation by applauding the references of the women speakers. It was a noted body of women, many of whom had national reputations, but have dedicated their lives to one of service. There were school teachers, well known social workers, a probationer officer and club organ insurers. Prominent among the women race workers who were present and told of their work were Mrs. Frances Kerner, Supt. of the White Rose Home, Mrs. Marie Stewart, Secretary of the New York Federation of Women's Clubs, Mrs. A. B. Reed, a well known club organizer, Mrs. James Curtis, a prominent worker in the Y. W. C. A., Miss Orane Campbell, the first and only ordered probationer officer in the New York courts, Mrs. Humman R. Sannon, President of the Y. W. C. A. and Mrs. M. C. Lawton the well known woman writer. The medical features were offered by Mrs. Lyne Leonard, Mimi A. Hodgson and Mimi A. Showe. At the conclusion of the speaking refreshments were served and a splendid evening was furnished.

The recall of federal judges by popular vote at presidential elections was proposed in the house by Representative Taft, of Colorado, a Democrat, who introduced a bill for that purpose. $2,000,000 SUGAR TARIFF REMOVED FOR THE SUGAR TRUST BEST SUGAR INDUSTRY KILLED 600,000 COAL MINERS IDLE Raise in Wages Likely Solution of Anthracite Crisis. IDLENESS TO BE SHORT Modified Demands May Be Found Acceptable — Compromise in Bituminous Field Averté Strike. The absolute suspension of all coal mining, in both the anthracite and bituminous holds, took place on Saturday, and more than 600,000 miners are able and will remain so until the referendum vote of the miners approves the agreement entered into at Cleveland for the bituminous mine. The anthracite operators will renew their conference with the men in this city on April 10. At an informal conference among operators in New York possible terms of compromise were considered, and the feeling seemed to be that some thing would be conceded the men, al WAY OF though nothing official was done. One operator said after the meeting that in no case would the union be recognized, but that an agreement on the basis of a slight increase in pay was possible. Approximately 160,000 mine workers in the antitracte field have quit work until they get further orders from their leaders, as an expected outgrowth of the renewed conference of miners and operators in Philadelphia on April 10. There has been no attempt, so far, to segregate the non-union workers and continue operations with them. Most of the mining plants are in need of repairs and will remain closed for at least the two-weeks holiday that now seems inevitable. Many employees look for an increase of 10 per cent in wages. All coal available in the Schuylkill region has been marketed at high prices, instead of at the usual $20-cent cut in April, and the operators are millions richer because of even the prospects of a strike. Washeries will be capable of producing all the steam sizes of coal needed for months to come, if the mines remain closed. The shutdown of the mines in the bituminous field promises to be but brief. The agreement reached between the miners and operators has increased the mutual good feeling, and both sides are doing all that is possible to hasten an early resumption of work. While the agreement is yet to be ratified by the policy committee of the United Mine Workers, and then by a referendum vote of the union members concerned, as little time as possible will be lost in those formalities, and it is expected that production will be resumed within a few days. Throughout the bituminous field general satisfaction is felt over the fact that there will be but a short suspension, although neither operators nor miners are entirely satisfied over the compromise. A NENVY LITTLE GIRL Walks More Than a Mile With Two Fingers Cut Off. With her land nearly cut off as the result of an accident, Mary Corkbill a seven-year-old girl of Ellendale, Md. walked to more than a mile from a woods, where the accident took place, to her home, and then calmly held her hand while physician amputated two fingers. The little girl and her younger brother were playing, when the boy accidentally cut her with an axe so the two fingers were severed, the other two mangled and the hand badly cut. It was only after the dressing of the wound that the child began to cry. LOS ANGELES, CAL, NEWS The great mass meeting was held at Blanchards Hall, March 27th under the auspices of the Citizens' Committee to denounce the decision made by the Board of Supervisors to prevent Negro girls from entering the training department of the County Hospital. Judge Waldo M. York spared no pain in expressing himself against the wrong that had come to the Negro citizens. He remarked that he knew we were right in protecting against this insult and that we have his support and service whenever he was needed. Hey Dr. S. Hecht, on rising said, "I suppose this audience knows J. a Jew. My race has made its greatest success because of their uprising efforts to fight against every wrong that was heaped upon it. At one time I thought that the House of Representatives spent a great portion of their time to make laws to keep us out of of every place that other people enjoyed. But we fought him in various ways until we got his sympathy; now he comes to us for money. You have a perfect right to all of the rights awarded American citizens and if you cannot get it without fighting for it, you must fight." Mrs. Clara Shortridge Poltz, attorney-at-law, made a strong plea in behalf of this movement. "I know what it is to be discriminated against," she said, "by my first experience to enter the Bar Association. To my great surprise I found many of the leading lawyers of the city and state against allowing a woman to practice. No other reason than the fact that I was a woman. Still, I contended until I got a hearing and finally was admitted to the Bar. It is to you to determine whether you shall or shall not enter the County Hospital. You have a perfect right which cannot be justly denied you." Rev. E. W. Kinchen wended into the subject fearlessly. While it is true he has not been in our midst but a short time, he is one of the large number of ministers of our city who has not chilly feet. His race blood is always in good flowing condition. There are always exceptions in all cases. Great credit is due the Citizens Committee for attacking this difficult problem. Called to a New Field. The Ministers' Federation together with a large number of their friends meet at Phillips Chapel on Newton street March 25th to show their great respect for the Rev. James A. Stout who took his departure on Tuesday to take charge of the principal-ship of the Inter-State Industrial College at Texarkana, Ark.-Tex. Rev. Stout came to California about four years ago and located in Santa Monica and instituted - the Phillips' Chapel C. M. E. Church of that city, where he has labored hard in building his church and parsonage and leaves them both clear of all debt. This silver tongued orator has been heard from the Atlantic to the Pacific. His work will stand as a monument for his good deeds done in his community. The Y. M. C. A. has lost an active member, the Forum has lost its foremost and best orator. The Ministers' Federation has lost a fellow brother and its critic, and the whole community has lost a Christian gentleman. He has left behind him a clean record and a good name. Entertained 1000. The Williams Jubilee Singers entertained the largest audience at the Shriners Auditorium, March 26th that they ever sang to in America, and possibly the largest in their career. They entertained under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. of our city, and Secretary T. A. Green-had to order twenty-five extra cars to accommodate the immense crowd, and together with the regular cars on the line they were hardly able to handle the crowd. From 7 to 8 o'clock there was almost a stampede. Hundreds of people seemed to gather at the ticket office at the same time and it was all the special officers could do to handle the immense crowd. About one-third of these were white people who were also anxious to hear the great entertainers. A number of the wealthiest people of the city sat side by side with their less fortunate brothers and enjoyed themselves. We are pleased to note there was no disturbance of any kind to mar the evening, and for this reason the daily papers made no comment. The V. M. C. A. is indeed grateful to their many friends for the loyal support in this instance. It is not known exactly the correct number, but it is known to be something over four thousand (4000) in the audience.

My Dear John Mitchell, I have been trying to locate John Richmond brother of William Richmond, a colored American who died here about three weeks after his arrival of malignant malaria, called the black water fever out here. William Richmond registered in this office as an American citizen, giving as his nearest kin, John Richmond, whose post office address in America was given at Pembroke Sidre Postoffice, Campbell county, VT. I addressed a dispatch to the State Department, reporting the death of William Richmond, requesting that they assist me in locating the brother of the deceased. The department acknowledged the receipt of the dispatch. I wrote John Richmond, sending the letter to the above address. The letter was returned marked uncalled for. The property of the deceased, consisting of travelling bag, clothing, money and bank book are in my possession. I am an anxious that his effects reach his brother, or if he be dead, satisfactory proof of the same must be furnished in order that I can proceed in settling the estate. I know no one better qualified than yourself to whom I can turn for assistance. Will you help me find the heir of William Richmond?******* I take this opportunity to congratulate you upon the splendid showing of the Mechanics' Bank in its achievements in the field of finance. If industry, honest endeavor, perseverance, determination and intelligent management are essentials of success (and they are) then your future and the success of the great financial institution of which you are the honored head is assured. Many Americans, white and colored, come out here and lead careless lives, disregarding advice as to the care of their health, and quickly pay the penalty in an early grave.

I know ‘ { no effort to exclude colored people from participating in the meetings and | have never favored any, uch policy.
