P. NO NEGROES ON JURY LISTS, SAYS LAWYER. Young Woman Attorney From the South Raises Novel Point in Murder Case. (N. Y. Sun, April 11, 1912). Miss Lillepugh Pule, the young North Carolina woman lawyer who was assigned by Judge Swann in the Court of General Sessions to defend Leroy Polindexter, the Negro who is under indictment for the murder of Thomas Brown, another Negro, in a row over a crap game, appears before Justice Davis in the Criminal Branch of the Supreme Court yesterday to ask that the Grand Jury list and the petit jury list drawn for the Polindexter case be quashed on the ground that the Negro had been discriminated against in the making up of these lists in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution. No Negro appears on the list from which the Grand Jury which indicted Polindexter was selected and no Negro appears on the special jury list furnished for the trial. Miss Pugh said in her argument that there are 85,000 Negroes in New York and that there was a prejudice against them which operated against their being placed on jury lists. As an evidence of the general prejudice against the colored race in New York she instanced the action of various property owners' associations in attempting to keep Negroes out of certain districts of the city, particularly in Harlem. Miss Pugh submitted a memorandum in support of her contention and asked that Commissioner of Jury Orsia Allison and others having to do with the making up of jury lists be subpoenaed to tell why the prejudice against Negroes should be allowed to enter into a court proceeding. Assistant District Attorney Moss, in opposing the motion, insisted that there had been no discrimination against men of the colored race and declared that he owed his life to a colored porter and that he had more than an ordinarily kind feeling for the colored race. Justice Davis said he would announce his ruling this morning. The case has been put over until April 23. After the argument Miss Pugh said that if her motion was denied she would take the matter to the United States courts under the Fourteenth Amendment.

BAILEY, Box 371, Charlotte, N. C. FROM LOS ANGELES, CA Los Angeles, Calif., April 6. The following is a clipping from the Los Angeles Times of March 20th: By Mayor of Oakland Kills-Enquiry. Oakland, March 27. Adolph Goldman, recently released from San Countin penitentiary, is dead, and for Mayor of Oakland Roland W. Snow is desperately wounded as the result of a duel tonight in the assembly room of the First Congregational Church in the city. Only the sexton, Charles F. Lewis and Mrs. F. Cassidy were witnesses of the shooting, the congregation expected for prayer meeting not having arrived. The duel was the outcome of an county dating back to the time Snow was elected Mayor in 1889. Previously the men had been the best of friends. Some years ago Goldman shot Snow after a quarrel in San Francisco, and was sentenced to five years in the penitentiary after a long legal battle. In which evidence was added beaming the character of both men. Witnesses say Snow was the first to enter the church tonight and was followed a few moments later by Goldman, who took a seat across the aisle from him. The witness first intimation of trouble was when Goldman attacked Snow, blashing him with a razor. While Snow was trying to defend himself, Goldman drew a revolver and shot once. Snow fell to his knee and from that position fired the bullet striking Goldman in the chest and felling him. Snow staggered to his feet and fired twice more, both bullets striking the prostrate man. Goldman fired from his recumbent position, the bullet striking Snow in the head, but the latter managed to fire one more shot, the bullet piercing Goldman's head and killing him instantly. The shots attracted the attention of passers-by and persons on their way to the prayer meeting. Snow was taken to a hospital, where it was found that in addition to the bullet wounds, his throat was gushed deeply. The surgeons held out little hope for his recovery. The body of Goldman was taken to the morgue. Snow, before being elected to the Mayoralty, had served a term as and for of Alameda county. He was considered one of the best of Oakland's Mayors. Of recent years Snow has made his home in Goldfield, New, where he engaged in mining. He resided with a daughter, Mrs. Gertrude Kenty. Snow arrived in Oakland from Goldfield March 2nd and registered in a rooming house as John Wright. He knew that Goldman was at liberty and endeavored to avoid him. It was told tonight that Goldman employed detectives to keep him informed as to the whereabouts of Snow. Ex-Mayor Snow died the following morning, March 29th at $:40. Supervisors' Decision. The Board of Supervisors decided at their meeting on Monday, the first, to give the colored nurses a special ward at the county hospital as they were compelled to give them a consideration. This of course, will mean that they will be in charge of the colored patients only. This proposition has not been accepted by the colored citizens as a whole for they feel that there should not be any color line drawn in an institution which is supported by the tax payers. Every male voter in the State of California pays two dollars ($2.00) a year poll tax, so in this we are all tax payers and have a right to all public institutions that are supported by the county. We know we are right and we are going to fight on. The 31st State Convention of the Y. M. C. A. of California convoked in Pasadena on April 4th for a four days' session. Delegates from the colored branch were Secretary T. A. Green, Fred. M. Roberts, Rev. T. J. Hill E. W. Kinchen, William Bowles and A. D. Bacey. W. T. Vernon Honored at Hot Springs Hot Springs, Ark., April 4.—The Honorable W. T. Vernon and wife have been recuperating at our famous resort for the last few days. While here he delivered one of his famous lectures, after which he was tendered an ovation in the form of a banquet given at the most select café in the city. Covers were laid for fifty of our most representative clitons.—Prof. F. C. Long acted as minister of ceremonies. Dr. C. M. Wade, the promoter of the banquet responded to the request, "The Personnel of Our City." Dr. J. W. Bryan enlisted our professional and business men; Mr. Miram Holland depicted in beautiful language the responsibilities and possibility of young men of the race; Dr. J. W. Curtis delivered with graphic description, "The Work of our School." Hoe J. D. Pamela said glowing tribute to "Our Women." after which our guest of honor responded with a tribute to our hospitality, the greatness of our city and the possibilities of our race. The affair was the greatest of its kind ever held in our city, and we shall always look with pleasureable anticipation for the return of this most noble representative of race, the future Bishop of the A. M. E. Church and the unrivaled orator of America. A CIRCUS. Much Colored Talent Oakland, California, April 4. Mr. A. L. Barnes has just closed a four day's engagement with this city with his circus. He started from his Winter quarters which are at Ventura, Calif. on March 2, 1912 on his tour through the country. Ventura is a city of about 2,000 inhabitants and is situated on the Pacific Ocean, the streets running to the water's edge. Mr. Barnes has shown his appreciation of the colored race. He has engaged for the season a colored band of ten pieces from Kansas City, Mo. He also has engaged Mr. and Mrs. H. McNeil Mrs. McNeil is the steam pianist. She has been with the circus for two or three years, playing the piano. She is of New York City and her husband of Richmond, Va. The circus will return to its winter quarters the latter part of December. 1912 Mr. E. N. White is the leader of the band. Summer Normal at Virginia Union University. The Summer Normal at Virginia University that year was very successful. Those teachers who wanted to get something which would be helpful and those who wanted advanced certificates of value were not disappointed. This year the school will prove to be still more helpful and attractive. New subjects such as Drawing, Primary Industrial work, Music and Games and Observation work will be given by experienced teachers. This school offers especially a variety tages to those who want to make the most of a Summer Normal. 1. It lasts six weeks, June 19th to August 2nd, the last three days being devoted to examinations. There will be no sessions on Saturday. A six weeks session will accomplish far more than one of four weeks, both in professional work and in preparation for the State Examinations. 2. This School makes a specialty of the courses required for the Professional Certificates. Last year 110 teachers already holding first grade certificates, took these, professional courses and did remarkably fine work that showed both real ability and conscientious application to the lessons. This year these classes will be full. 3. This school also gives special attention to the preparation of those who desire to take the first grade State certificates. Six weeks of work under skillful professors is of inestimable value to those who need a last review for the State examinations. 4. Advanced High School or College work will be given in any regular subject for which as many as 5 applicants make request by June last. The Summer Normal at Virginia Union University offers to colored teachers opportunities substantially equal to those offered to white teachers at the University of Virginia at Charlottesville.—Professional, High School and College Subjects and a six week's season. The attendance will prove the character and ambition of the colored teachers. We expect them to show their appreciation of a good thing by a crowded attendance. If they thus show a demand for the best training, equal to that sought by the best white teachers the best will be offered to them in the future as it is 'his year. No teacher is a credit to his or her profession or race unless constantly improving in ability. Nor can a teacher expect to hold his place indefinitely without growth in efficiency. Let the teachers prove and improve their worth by a large attendance on this Summer Normal. SCRAPS! Rev. D. W. Davis will lecture at the 5th Street Baptist Church. Monday, May 6, 1912, at 8:30 o'clock. He will be accompanied by the little quartette of South Richmond, Va.

Dr. Lyons Delivers Elogy—Things Humming at Roosevelt Headquarter—Dellegates Off to State Convention at Rochostes—Democrat Getting Busy—Dr. Lyons for Tart Clear Skies, Great Easter Day. Timings Attend Church and Hear About the Resurrection. Thursday evening, April 4th at St. Marks M. E. Church under the auspices of the Lyceum special memorial services were held in honor of the late Dr. Writom Blyden, the noted and far famed Negro scholar, who recently died in the West Indies. A fairly large audience was present and heard of the great scholar's place in the world of letters. The meeting was arranged by Geo. Young, one of the most prominent citizens of the Metropolis Dr. Ernest Lyons, pastor of the John Wesley M. E. Church of Baltimore and former Minister to Liberia delivered the principal ecology. Some of the most prominent men of the race made brief addresses on the life and work of the great Negro scholar. The meeting began with a selection from the well-known Female Quartette, Steal Away, and the Invocation was given by Rev. Dr. W. H. Brooks, pastor of St. Marks M. E. Church. The first speaker was John E. Bruce, the well known writer and friend of Dr. Blyden who spoke on reminiscences of the life of Dr. Blyden. Mr. Bruce spoke as follows: "Having known and corresponded with Dr. Blyden for 25 years or more, I am glad to say in word on the life of Dr. Blyden. The death of this noted scholar is more than a passing event." Mr. Bruce told of various experiences. "Fifty years ago when I was a boy in Washington in school I had the pleasure of seeing and hearing Dr. Blyden speak. A solo entitled "The King's Business" was sung by C. C. Clarke. Dr. Lyons was the next speaker. Dr. Lyons, who remembered Dr. Blyden when he was a midwinter in Liberia, delivered a notable enlogy on the life and character of Dr. Blyden and told in an interesting manner the great place Dr. Blyden had attained in the scholastic enmity of the world. Dr. Lyons gave a brief sketch of the life of Dr. Blyden his desire for education and his wide attributions and how he became to be recognized as an authority of French, German, Arabic, Italian literature. Dr. Blyden was proud of his race, and was ready at all times to defend the race." Continuing Dr. Lyons said, "Dr. Blyden was just as proud of his ancestry as Lord Droughtam was of his. It was this consciousness of his ancestry that made him proud of his race. He came to America hoping to satisfy his knowledge. Here he met his greatest disappointment because he was refused admission in an American College." Dr. Lyons told how Dr. Blydon had been of such a great help to Liberia and how he figured in the development of Africa. Dr. Lyons defended Dr. Blydon against the charge against him that he was a Mohammedan. Dr. Lyons said that he was simply an admirer of some of the qualities of the Mohammedans. The eulogy of Dr. Lyons was a magnificent tribute to the great scholar. Others who spoke interestingly of the life of the great scholar were Dr. Reed, a missionary to Africa; Secretary Ball of the Y. M. C. A. and Rev. Dr. W. H. Brooks of St. Marks M. E. Church. Dr. Blydon was well known in New York and on his first visit he was given a reception in the same church where the memorial was held in his honor. Dr. Lyons was then pastor of the church and was among those to give the great scholar a recorder. Things Humming at Roosevelt Headquarters. Your correspondent made a visit to the Roosevelt headquarters on the 24th floor of the Metropolitan building and found things humming at the headquarters. The forces at the headquarters are enthusiastic over the prospects of the Colonel and believe that he will get the Presidential nomination in Chicago at the National Convention. Mr. Payne who has charge of the Roosevelt press bureau is sending out helpful information about the candidacy of the Colonel. The click of the typewriters of the newspaper at the headquarters indicate that lively information is being sent out about the Colonel. The Roosevelt headquarters occupy almost the last story of the largest building in New York and is located at Twenty-third Street and Madison Avenue, within a stone's throw of the great Madison Square Garden. Your correspondent has been promised a place as one of the correspondents of the Roosevelt Press Bureau. Democrats are Greeting Busy. The colored Democrats in the Me- PRICE. FIVE CENTS tropolis are getting busy and are jubilant over the fact that their chances are so good this year for a Democratic sweep. Prominent Negro Democrats in the Metropolis are centerring their attention upon a strong presidential possibility. A large delegation of colored Democrats will attend the National Convention of the Democratic Party when it meets in June in Baltimore. Bishop Walters when seen at his Episcopal residence last week expressed himself as being pleased with the prospect. The Bishop is still on the war path and is keeping his secretary busy inquiring into the national status of Negroes in the Democratic Party. Dr. Lyons for Taft. Rev. Dr. Ernest Lyons, pastor of the John Wesley M. E. Church of Baltimore and former Minister to Liberia when seen in the Metropolis last week told your correspondent that he favored Taft for the Presidential nominee. "I believe that Taft should be granted another term," said Dr. Lyons. "He has done the best he could under the circumstance and has appointed some very prominent Negroes to office. It required courage to appoint Lewis to such a high office. He has appointed other Negroes to high offices." said Dr. Lyons, "and I hope that he will get the nomination." Dr. Lyons put in a busy day in the Metropolis and saw a large number of his friends who remembered him when he was laboring in the Metropolis. In the afternoon Dr. Lyons was the guest at a special luncheon in his honor at the residence of Geo Young, 328 West 53rd Street. Among the prominent men at the luncheon were Fred. R. Moore, editor of the New York Age; Rev. Dr. Granville Hunt of Mt. Vernon; Dr. W. H. Brooks, pastor of St. Marks Church and your correspondent. Dr. Lyons is one of the most prominent churchmen in the M. E. Church and is in line for the Bishopric. Rev. Dr. Brooks has been sent back to St. Marks M. E.

"He did not die on his back," I replied. "I turned him over." ↵ "You did—and alone!" It rarely a single man could do that, nor have I seen it done in all my life with no big a bull." "The Indians don't bother to turn a bull over. They split the hide down the back and skin both ways. The best meat is on top anyhow," and then he gave me lessons in buffalo values, which inter I remembered. We had taken some meat from my bull, since I insisted upon it in spite of better beef from a young cow Auberry had killed not far above, when suddenly I heard the sound of a bugle sharp and clear, and recognized the notes of the "recall." "What's up?" inquired Auberry as we pulled up our galloping horses near the wagon line. "Indians!" was the answer. "Fall in" We could all now see coming down from a little fattened coupe to the left a head of a line of mounted men, who doublets had been the cause of the buffalo stampede which had crossed in front of us. The column of the tribesmen came on toward us fearlessly. They made a long calvacade, 200 horses or more, with many travaux and dogs trailing on behind. They were all clad in their native finery, seemingly bearty and well red and each as arrogant as a king. They passed us contemptuously, with not a sidelong glance. In advance of the head men who rode foremost in the column were three or four young women, bearing long lance shafts decorated with feathers and locks of human hair, the steel tip shining gray in the sun. "Auberry," said Balknap, "we must go talk to these people and see what's up." "They're Sioux," said Auberry. "But come on. They don't mean right now." Balknap and Auberry took with them the sergeant and a dozen troopers. I pushed in with these and saw Orme at my side, and Balknap did not send us back. We four rode on together presently. Two or three hundred yards from the place where the Indians halted Auberry told Balknap to halt his men. We four, with one private to hold our horses, rode forward a hundred yards farther, halted and raised our hands in sign of peace. They rode out to us four of the bead men of the Sioux, each a stalwart man. "Talk to them, Auberry," said Balknap. And as the former was the only one of us who understood the Sioux tongue he acted as interpreter. "What are the Sioux doing so far east?" he asked of their spokesman sternly. "Hunting," answered the Sioux. "The white soldiers drive away our buffalo. The white men kill too many. Let them go. This is our country." It seemed to me I could see the black eyes of the Sioux boring straight through every one of us. "Go back to the north and west, where you belong," said Aubrey. "You have no business here on the wagon trail." "The Sioux hunt where they please," was the grim answer. "But you see we have our women and children with us the name as you have"—and he pointed toward our camp. "Where are you going?" asked our interpreter. The Sioux waved his arm vaguely. "Heap hunt," he said. "Where you go?" he asked. Aubrey answered that we were going a half sleep to the west to meet a big war party coming down the Platte, the white men from Laramie. The Indian looked grave at this. "We are going on up to meet our soldiers," said Aubrey sternly. "The Sloux have killed some of our men below here. We shall meet our soldiers and come and wipe the Sloux off the land if they come into the valley where our great road runs west." "That is good," said the Sloux. "An for us, we harm no white man. We hunt where we please. White men go!" Aubrey now turned to us. "I don't think they mean trouble, Beutanten," he said, "and I think the best thing we can do is to let them alone and go on up the valley." Belknap nodded, and Aubrey turned again to the four Sloux, who stood tall and motionless, looking at us with the same fixed, glittering eyes. "We have spoken," said Auberry. "That is all we have to say." Both parties turned and went back to their companions. Beknap, Auberry and I had nearly reached our waiting troopers when we missed Orme, and turned back to see where he was. He was standing close to the four chars, who had by this time reached their burrs. Orme was leading by the burrs his own helmet, which was slightly lame from a strain received in the hung. We saw Orme make some sort of gestures, pointing to his hips and the others. "Wonder if he wants to short burr?" mused Auberry, shortline. Then in the same breath he called "Look out!" We all now it. Orman's son that we straight, tipped by a hip pull of accent, and we bound the stance of droppen stance. One of the flames, his wife who by this time had passed, been thrown his head against his dish and sound slightly bury their hearts so as to be of all the flames of the body where his body drowns from the middle and Raimond Orme's Arm Shot Out Straight, Tippen by a Blue Puff of Smoke. with a leap was in the dead man's place and riding swiftly toward us, leading his own horse by the rein. It seemed that it was the Sloux who had kept faith after all, for none of the remaining three could find a weapon. Orme rode up laughing and unconcerned. "The beggar wouldn't trade with me at all," he said. "By Jove. I be lieve he'd have got me if he'd had any sort of tools for it." "You broke treaty," ejaculated Betknap—"you broke the council word." "Did that man make the first break at you?" Aubery blazed at him. "How can I tell?" answered Orme coolly. "It's as well to be a trifle ahead in such matters." He seemed utterly unconcerned. He could kill a man as lightly as a rabbit and think no more about it. Within the instant the entire party of the Sloux was in confusion. We saw them running about, mounting, heard them shouting and walling. "It's sight now!" said Auberry. "Back to the wagons now and get your men ready, lieutenant. As soon as the Sloux can get shut of their women they'll come on, and come a bollin' too. You blanked fool!" he blissed to Orme. "You murdered that man!" "What's that, my good fellow?" said Orme sharply. "Now, I advise you to keep a civil tongue in your head or I'll teach you some manners." Even as we swung and rode back Auberry punched alongside Orme, his rise at ready. "Young man, if you want to teach me any manners begin it now! You make your break" he cried. Belknap spurred in between them, "Here, you men," he commanded, with swift sternness, "into your places. I'm in command here, and I'll shoot the first man who raises a hand. Mr. Orme, take your place at the wagons. Auberry, keep with me. We'll have fighting enough without anything of this." "He murdered that Sloux, lieutenant, reiterated Auberry. "Dash it, sir, I know he did, but this is no time to argue about that. Look there!" We saw the Sloux separate into two bands, the men remaining behind, riding back and forth, whooping and holding aloft their weapons. We heard the note of a dull war drum beating. "They'll fight," said Auberry. "Look at at them." "Here they come," said Belknap coolly. "Get down, men." They came on, then swing out around us, their horse line rippling up over the broken ground apparently as easily as it had gone on the level floor of the valley. "Tell us when to fire, Auberry," I heard Belknap say, for he had practically given over the situation to the old plainsman. At last I heard the voice of Auberry, changed from that of an old man into the quick, clear accents of youth, sounding hard and clear. "Ready now! Each fellow pick his own man and kill him. Dye hear, kill him!" Our troopers were armed with the worthless old Spencer carbines, and I doubt if these did much execution, but there were some good old Hawkli rifles and old big bored Yageris and more modern Sharps' rifles and other buffalos guns of one sort or another with us, among the plainsmen and teamsters, and when these spoke there came breaks in the flaunting line that sought to hedge us. The Sloux dropped behind their horses' bodies, firing as they rode, some with rifles, more with bows and arrows. Most of our work was done as they topped the rough ground close on our left, and we saw here a half dozen bodies lying limp, flat and ragged, though presently other riders came and dragged them away. At a hundred, yards their arrows fell extraordinarily close to the mark, and time and again they spiked our males and horses with these hissing shrieks that quirred where they struck. They came near breaking our rear in this way, for our men fell into confusion, the horses and males plunging and trying to break away. I was crowding a ball down my rifle with its hickory rod when I felt a shove at my arm and heard a voice at my ear. "Ok out of the way, mag! How can I see to shoot if you bob you head around my nights all the time!" These stood old Mandy McGovern, her long brown rifle half ruined. She was so cool as any man in the line and so friendly. "Ok, in here, git in here now!" I hoped my city. And to my woods now I drew the long, long figure of Andrew Jackson McCormack forward, a carbine shotbed in his hand, while from his mouth came some sort of dirty powder of hostile common, which allowed to give wounds more likely to his forte data. At about this moment one of the Illinois mounted by our own, turned his head. Hawkins-Johnson MANUFACTURING CO., Hair Grower and Restorer, 616 N. 1st Street, Richmond, Va.

Ab. those red men knew how to die! He got within forty yards, reeling and awaying, but still trying to sit an arrow to the string, and as none of us would fire on him ago, asking that he was dying, for a moment it looked as though he would ride directly into us and perhaps do some harm. Then I heard the boom of the boy's carbine, and at almost at the instant, whether by accident or not I could not tell. I saw the red man drop out of the forks of big saddle and roll on the ground with his arms spread out. Perhaps never was metamorphosis more complete than that which now took place. Shaking off detaining hands. Andrew Jackson sprang from our line, ran up to the falch foe and in a frenzy of rage began to belabor and kick his body, winding up by catching him by the hair and actually dragging him some pace toward our firing line. Mandy called out as though he were a young dog at his first fight: "Whopee! Git to him, boy, gift to him! Take him, boy! Whopee!" We got Andrew Jackson back into the ranks. His mother took him by the hand, as though for the first time she recognized him as a man. "Now, boy, that's somethin' like." She turned to me. "Some says it's in the paw," she remarked. "I reckon it's some in the maw an' a leetle in the traina!" Cut up badly by our fire. The Sloux scattered and hugged the shelter of the river bank, beyond which they rode along the sand or in the shallow water, scrambling up the bank after they had got out of fire. I looked about me now at the interior of our barricade. I saw Ellen Meriwether on her knees lifting the shoulders of a wounded man who lay back, his hair dropping from his forehead, now gone bluish gray. She pulled him to the shelter of a wagon, where there had been drawn four others of the wounded. I saw tears falling from her eyes—saw the same pity on her face which I had noted once before when a wounded creature lay in her hands. I had been proud of Mandy McGovern. I was proud of Ellen Meriwether now. Almost as I had turned I felt a sudden jar, as though some one had taken a board and struck me over the head with all his might. Then as I slowly became aware my head was utterly and entirely detached from my body and went sailing off deliberately in front, of me. I could see it going distinctly, and yet, oddly enough, I could also see a sudden change home on the face of the girl who was stooping before me and who at the moment raised her eyes. "It is strange," thought I, "but my head, thus detached, is going to pass directly above her. right there." Then I ceased to take interest in anything and sank back into the arms of that from which we come, calmly taking hold of the hand of mystery. MINERS' WAGES Get 7 Per Cent Increase on Selling Price of Coal. Charles P. Neill, United States commissioner of labor, has issued his monthly bulletin on the average price of anthracite coal at New York harbor. The bulletin gives the average, price of the sizes above pea coal—that is, the so-called "domestic" sizes—for the month of March as $4.88 per ton f. o. b. This price entitled all the mine workers to an increase of 7 per cent on the rates of wages fixed in the award of the anthracite strike commission. 60 YEARS' EXPERIENCE PATENTS Telephone, Madison-4601. love all Dandruff and cure the Hair on clean Temples and head.

CARING FOR THE REFUGEES Thousands Driven From Their Homes by Swollen Mississippi Need Assistance. Advices received at Memphis, Tennessee, that the main levee has broken a mile and a half north of Golden Lake, Ark., about fifty miles north of Memphis. The water is spreading over a wide area in that section. Forty-five townships will be partly covered by water. The town of Marked Tree, Ark., probably will be inundated. Warnings were flashed over the telephone lines to all portions of the section affected, in the hope that the residents would seek high ground before the water reached them. Hope is entertained that the warnings reached the inhabitants in time to permit them to gain places of safety. The first section to feel the full force of the flood is sparsely settled. Much live stock undoubtedly perished. The center of the flood situation has somewhat shifted from Memphis to Vicksburg. Chief anxiety is aimed at points between there and the Modoc breaks, south of the Tennessee line. Thousands of workmen labored by moon and lantern light along the threatened levee stretches and the fight continues. River pilots in charge of steamers that have resumed operations between Memphis and points south say their jobs are anything but enviable. When the river rises to a point that it laps the levee tops a wave from the wake of a steamer might produce sufficient force to smash the embankment. The pilot of the steamer Kate Adams, to avoid trocherous currents, shifted his course nearer the Arkansas shore. Directly a party of men appeared at the top of the levee and shouted through a megaphone. The pilot called back that he could not understand. In a minute a hall of bullets from repeating rifles cracked about the woodwork in the pilot house. Then the steamer's wheelman understood He shifted his steamer back into midstream. The task of caring for the flood victims is proving a serious problem. The greater number of those driven from their homes so far have sought a refuge at Hickman, Ky.; Tiptonville, Tenn.; Forest City and Helena, Ark., and in Memphis. In Memphis the Tri-State fair grounds have been converted into a tented city and the Associated Charities is directing relief measures. At Hickman approximately 500 persons are being cared for. Over a thousand people, nearly half of them refugees from the flood, are at Ridgely, Tennessee. The one-story houses there are no longer habitable and the two-story houses are crowded. The remainder of the community is out on a hillside without shelter. The stock is without provender. Two steamboats have reached Tiptonville with provisions, one of them a government boat. At Bay Landing fifty-three sufferers were picked up without shoes. A Mrs. Baker and two children on a raft made of two logs, their place of refuge for three days, were rescued near Cherokee, Tennessee. 27 Stowaways on Beqz. The apprehension of twenty-seven Italian stowaways on board the White Star line steamer Celtic, which arrived in Boston from Naples, was acco- plished. The search was made upon informa tion received that work from Italy that stowaways would be found on the ship, and that they were members of the Black Hand organization. Stark Left Pear Boys. John L.

Carpathia Picked Up 868 Persons. Other Ships Reached Scene of Disaster Too Late. Most of Those Saved Are Women and Children. The appalling magnitude of the wreck of the giant liner Titanic has been but little mitigated by the fragmentary information which has so far filtered in. The Titanic struck the iceberg off the Newfoundland banks at 10.25 Sunday night and went down at 2.20 Monday morning. She sank in water two miles deep. The rescuing steamer Carpathia has 365 survivors on board, according to the latest news received at the offices of the White Star line in New York. This incurses the list of those saved by about 200 from the number first reported. Except for this, the favorable details are insignificant compared with the supreme fact that the Titanic is at the bottom of the Atlantic and that the shattered wreck took with her about 1250 victims to their death. A rigid investigation is to be made into the report that the Titanic was not equipped with sufficient life boats and rafts to save her passengers and crew. The assertion is made that the vessel did not carry anything like adequate life saving appliances to meet such a disaster as that which overtook her. It is probable that both the British and American governments will insist on a thorough inquiry in this phase of the wreck. The first reports giving the total survivors at 675 were varied by morrificable news, first from Captain Rostron, of the Carpathia, who gave the number at about 800 and later by the positive announcement of the White Star line that there are 683 survivors of the Titanic on board the Carpathia. But with these revised figures there remain 1314 persons, passengers and crew of the Titanic, who are unaccounted for and apparently lost. Hope clung desperately to the belief that the steamers Virginian and Parisian, of the Allan line, might have picked up survivors in addition to those on board the Carpathia, but this was practically dispelled when the Sable Island wireless station reported that the Parisian had no survivors on board, and when the officers of the Allan Line in Montreal issued a statement that the captain of the Virginian had sent them a wireless message saying that he had "arrived at the scene of the disaster too late to be of service." Both the Virginian and the Parisian therefore appear to hold out no hope of further reducing the extent of the calamity. The Virginian has proceeded on her way to Europe. The Parisian steamed through much heavy, fold ice looking for passengers from the ill-fated ship. No life rafts or bodies were sighted among the floating wreckage, which covered a large area. The Parisian reports that the weather was cold and that even if any persons had been on the wreckage they would in all probability have perished from exposure before they could have been picked up. The Carpathia, having on board the only survivors accounted for, is coming in slowly to New York. All hope for details of the tragedy and its effects are centered on this ship. She will reach New York some time during Thursday night. London, Paris and New York are griel stricken and overwhelmed by the town of the disaster. Teenar crowds of relatives and friends of passengers on board the Titanic thronged the steamship offices in all three cities, waiting hour after hour for news that, more often than not, when it does come means bereavement and sorrow. Of the survivors on board the Carpathia by far, the larger number are women and children. Preminent Man Left: It is practically certain now that nearly all of the men of the Titanic's company went down with the ship when the plunged two miles toward the ocean floor, or that they perished miserably while clinging to wreckage or life preservers in the ice waste that buryed them. They gave up life written about the little, rocking boats that held their women and children. It cannot be doubted now that among these were Cecilian John Jacob Astor, Edward Birmingham, Major Archibald W. Burl, also to President Taft; George D. Widener, of Philadelphia; Karl H. Buber, the female champion; Jacques-Patrick, the writer; William T. Steed, the London editor; Francis D. Mille, the American artist, and many more. know who were known on both sides of the Atlantic. The tell of the Titian's death will be felt the world over. Captain M. J. Smith, commander of the Titian's, probably went to the same group with his ill-fated vessel without being able to communicate directly with the captures of the Titan Anglo from the "M. G. R." sent by his windows opened on one word him who was seized on the same time the Titian mank bow foremost into the ocean. The presupposition is that he met his death while at his post as a gallant skipper. That he and his crew faced the rigidly unwritten law of the sea—women and children first—is plainly indicated by the preponderance of women among the partial list of survivors that the wireless has given. Although rated as one of the most able commanders since the advent of the modern steamship, Captain Smith's career had been recently married with ill luck. He was in command of the Titanic's sister ship, the Olympic, when that vessel was in collision with the British cruiser Hawke. Exonerated of all blame for this occurrence, he was placed in charge of the Titanic, only to graze disaster when his new charge fouled the steamship New York in the Solent after leaving Southampton. Although 368 souls are reported to be on the Carpathia, it is apparent that all of them are not passengers, for it was necessary for members of the Titanic's crew to man the life boats which set out from the sinking liner. How many of the crew were assigned to each boat is a subject of conjecture. A similarly unsettled point is the percentage of first class passengers among those saved. While the names of survivors obtained are largely those of saloon passengers, the rule "women first" should apply equally to the second cabin and the steerage, a regulation which may have cost the life of many prominent men above decks. It is natural also that the names of the more obscure survivors would be slower in reaching land. Olympic Sent Terrible Tides. The tidings that the Titanic had sunk came in a brief wireless dispatch to Cape Race, N. F, from the White Star liner Olympic, which reported that the Titanic had foundered at about 2.20 a.m. Monday morning, in latitude 41.16 north and longitude 50.14 west. The message added that the steamship Carpathia, then on her way to Naples, had reached the scene of the wreck at daybreak and found only the boats and wreckage and that all the Titanic's boats were accounted for and "about 675 souls saved, crew and passengers, latter nearly all women and children." A wireless dispatch received at Boston, which was relayed by the Olympic from the Carpathia, stated that the Carpathia had 368 of the Titanic's pas- ```markdown ``` COL. JOHN JACOB ASTOR. sengers on board, mostly women and children, closing with the words: "Our fears are felt for the safety of the balance of the passengers and the crew." The brief wireless dispatches received so far show that the passengers and crew passed through thrilling experiences from the very moment that the great Titanic crashed into the iceberg in the dead of night until the Carpathia, several hours later, reached the scene and rescued the survivors from lifeboats floating in a sea of ice. The collision occurred at a time when most of the passengers had retired or were about to go to bed. When the Titanic struck she struck hard. There was something more than a rending and leaping of bow plates, a flooding of a few forward compartments. The Titanic must have recouled from her destroyer a shattered and riven ship. So tremendous an impact would have crumpled up the very bedplates, shaken the mighty engine from their foundations, opened up the watertight compartments, buckled her plates from end to end and started rivets everywhere. It is likely that water rushed in on her hull from all sides, for her keel must have been injured by the terribile drive on a mass as hard as rock. That far must have quenched the ship's lights by injuring her electric apparatus. We know that the wireless worked weekly when Phillips, the operator, set about his desperate task to peach out for help while the women and children in the boats rocked. ok somewhere in the dark and then waited with sinking hearts. The wireless ceased muttoring in less than two hours. A fitter or two and it was gone. The shock of the collision sent many of the passengers to the dock gently dropped. A wireless dispute came through Oumpurdown, N. R., saying that the passengers were aware of the disaster at once and that many were seriously ill as they took their plane in the back. This would lead once that the Thunder's condition we such that so those could be spared to return to their classrooms for additional clothes.

Huge quantifi- tion of field ice covered the ocean, a wi- less dispatch says, and in the darkne- the crewweighed to guide their boat with the greatest care to prevent be- ing jammed and overturned. The le- w was so heavy that the lifeboats could not force their way through it, and it a result the boats became widely ap- arated. The air was biting cold, and the chill that rose from the ice floe caused the passengers to hover close together to keep warm. All through the night the lifeboats bobbed hea- lesly between the shifting cakes of ice, while the survivors prayed for the dawn to come. Shortly after 2 o'clock the sinking Titanic made her great dive into the sea, carrying with her hundreds of persons to death. Daylight came and with it arrived the Cunard liner, Carpathia, which found only the score of lifeboats filled with crew and passengers floating, helplessly about the viability where the Titanic had passed under the waves. First reports were that the Carpathia had savod but 675 persons. The new figures reduced the list of those for whose fate fear was felt by nearly 200, and if, as seems probable, practically all those savod were passenger, it would appear that all but approximately 450 of the vessel's passenger are accounted for. A partial list of the survivors received from the Carpathia includes the names of many women of prominence who were on the steamer. A Terrible Scene. After the first desperate calls of the Titanic for help had been sent flying through space and brought steamers for hundreds of miles around speeding to the scene, what seems to have been an impenetrable wall of silence was raised between her and the anxious world. The giant liner, so far as advises, appear, went to her fate with out so much as a whisper of what must have been the scenes of terrible tragedy enacted on her decks. In the lack of even a line from a survivor, imagination pauses, before even trying to conjecture what passes as the inevitable became known and it was seen that of the more than 200 human lives with which she was freighted there could be no hope of saving, as it appears, far less than the half. Other than the news that 865 persons, largely women and children, had been rescued from the liner's hull by the Cunarder Carpathia, several hours passed without a word as if the fate of the remainder of those on board at the time of the fateful crash. Along the entire Atlantic coast wireless instruments were attuned to catch from any source the slightest whisper of hope that possibly on one of the many steamships which rushed to the assistance of the stricken Titan of the sea were other survivors of the sunk vessel. But from none of the ships reported to be atror near the scene of what, viewed in the light of the probabilities may be recorded as the world's greatest marine horror, came the slightest syllable of encouragement to the anxiously waiting world. The $10,000,000 Titanic, with cargo and jewels, worth perhaps $10,000,000 more, is a total loss.

SWEEPS PENNSYLVANIA Progressives Will Control State Convention, and Many Predict It Will Mean the Passing of Senator Penrose. Complete returns from all parts of Pennsylvania only accentuate the sweeping Roosevelt victory in Saturday's primaries. On the final round up, after the state convention, which will elect twelve delegates at large to the Republican national convention, Roosevelt will have seventy of the seventy-eight delegates from Pennsylvania, and it seems quite likely that he will have the entire delegation. The supporters of President Taft carried but one district west of Philadelphia, that comprising Lancaster county, where Mayor McLain has all most an unassailable organization. In Philadelphia the Taft supporters apparently carried the First, Second Third and elected one delegate in the Fifth district. But in the First district State Senator Edwin S. Vare the Republican organization leader, and his running mate as delegate Hugh Black, have announced that to their minds Colonel Roosevelt is the only Republican capable of saving the country to Republican rule. President of Solent Council Runley, who was elected as an uninstructed delegate in the Third district, announced "As Senator Vare votes, so do I." In the Fifth district in Philadelphia one Roosevelt delegate was elected and one apparent Taft man go through, C. A. Disson, the saw manufacturer, who was swept into office on the Taft ticket through his popularity with his own employees. The recapitulation shows that at the present writing President Taft may count on the votes of E. T. Stetschy and John Wanamaker, who were elected as delegates in the Second district. J. H. Bromley, who was elected in the Third; C. A. Disson, of the Fifth, and William W. Gelat, and William H. Keller, the two delegates elected in the Lancaster district. This is the sum total of the Taft delegates under complete returns make some minor changes. Not only have the Roosevelt followers swept the state for their delegates, but they have elected the majority of the 372 representatives to the state convention, which will elect twelve delegates at large to the national convention. May Mean Passing of Penrose. Those twelve delegates already are counted for Roosevelt, but the state convention will have other and more potent effect on Pennsylvania. It marks the passing of United States Senator Boles Penrose as a member of the national committee, and many persons are predicting that it also marks the beginning of his exit from politics. The Roosevelt followers will absolutely dominate the state convention. They will nominate an auditor general and a state treasurer, and for the first time in many years will have absolute control of the election machinery of the state. In this same connection the twenty five men nominated as candidates for the state senate, when elected, will hold over until the time comes for the selection of a successor of Senator Penrose. From late returns a system of those men are opposed to Senator Penrose and the ideas for which he stands. Divorce Brother and Sister. Mr. and Mrs. John P.

L. The Utah was at anchor and the Brittish was bound out when the collision occurred. The Utah received the blow at her port hawker hole. The blow smashed two of her plates, five lengths of an inch thick, above the water line, and opened up another hole about fifteen feet below the water line, through which the water poured. Fortunately this hole was made at a point where the port jigging tails are located. That is a sink used in trimming the ship, water being left into it to use her how rides too high. Through the hole in the plates of the battleship below the water line the water poured into this tank. The tank virtually acted as a collision bulkhead and the ship was in no danger of sinking. It is not yet known how serious the damage is. The Condor was hooked into the big sheet anchor drawn up to the hawse pipe and hung there for five minutes while the crew of the battleship were hurriedly called to collision quarters. Then she backed away and disappeared in the fog. She anchored subsequently about 300 yards away. Her prow had been bent to one side as though it had been made of tin and her fourquarters filled with water. It was found that she could keep afloat with the aid of her pumps. --- Miss Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross Society, died at her home in Glen Focho, Md.

The steamship Ontario, of the Merchants and Mariners' Line, bound from Baltimore to Boston, was beached a mile and a half west of the Montauk Point light at Montauk, L. I., with her forward hold crammed with burning bales of cotton. Her thirty passengers were taken on a hand carried in a tug to New London. Her crew and Captain W. J. Bound are still aboard, throwing smouldering cotton and kegs of rosin into the sea and lowering the fire of her cargo into lighters. They think the fire is under control and that the ship will be saved and floated. An episode that had the elements of a real catastrophe turned out to be mostly picturesque. The passengers had time to dress and depart with all their baggage. A breeches buoy, rigged by the life savers of the Dutch Plain station, was not needed for them. They were lowered without fuss in two of the ship's boats and transferred with out mishap to the tug Tasco, which took them to New London to continue their way to Boston. The only person hurt was a life saver, David H. Miller, while he was holding a stake that was to make fast the land end of the breeches buoy cable. He was hit by an axehead that flew off its handle. The axe blade gashed his forehead over the right eye. The Ontario captain, steering his ship straight for shore, with his eyes smarting from the smoke that swept up through the forward hatch and back into the pilot house, could not have picked a more dissolate spot for beaching. The vessel lies on an even keel about 300 feet from the only stretch of beach in this region that is not clean sand. The shore there is cluttered with rock, ranging from pebbles to boulders. Back of this rock, a forbidding collection, rises a bluff 100 feet high, in whose soft soil great rifts have been made by the waves and tide. When the Ontario was beached there was only one landman a wif ness to the event. This lone witness of the ship's distress was David Miller, the life saver who was later hurt. He was patrolling the beach in the rain when he saw a faint glow on the ocean off to the southeast. Squinting through the drizzle, he saw a rocket rise brightly and fade and that was enough for Miller. He rushed to a lit h eut that shelters a government telephone and called up his mate at the Dutch Plain station. From the telephone he ran to the brink of the cliff and shot up a rocket which meant "Your signal is ever and aid will come as soon as possible." The Ontario drew nearer, the smoke spouting from her forward hatch, with now and then a gleam of red from the flames in the cotton below. She was headed for the nearest land, Dead Man's Bend. The steamship struck gently and roasted easily. The Ontario passengers were standing beside the ship's boats, surrounded by their belongings, ready to be rescued. When the fire was first discovered they had been summoned to the main saloon and locked in. There the captain had told them that there was no immediate danger and that the ship was sure to be beached before the flames could possibly burst through the compartment filled with cotton. So when the Ontario was beached the thirty passengers stod there on the upper deck. The tug Taco had arrived and the passengers were transferred. Millionaire Jury Acquits Man. A coroner's jury of woality and prominent men of New York city headed by George W. Peckins, the financier, was selected to sit at the inquest into the death of J. Harry Laville, who was shot and killed on March 22 at the home of Benjamin K. Jackson, who is charged with the shooting. The jury includes George B. Cortelyou, former cabinet officer. After many witnesses had testified the jury was charged by the coroner who laid stress on the fact that Laville was in Jackson's home at the time of the shooting. Witnesses for the defense had testified that a fight developed over Jackson's effort to put Lavelle out, and that Jackson, who was much the smaller man, had shot in self-defense. The jury returned a verdict after eighteen minutes' deliberation, unanimously agreeing that it was a case of juvenile homicide, and the prisoner was released. Most Prison Bars in New York. Prison of all parks, and enclosures have jumped enormously in New York in the last week. Applying to the proprieer of a chain of butcher shops, there has been a tremendous advance in the whole sale and retail cost of meats in the last week. Experts in the business announce that the meat packers have advance the prices of hinds and ribs of beef by 4 cents a pound wholesale. The may this means an advance of the retail price amounting to 8 cents a pound. The wholesale price aggregates 14½ cents a pound for one-half of the meat, while they have to dispose of the rest at the rate of from 4 to 6 cents a pound. In pork loin the same proportionate advance has been registered. The packers have advanced the price to the dealers to 15 cents a pound, which is an advance of 5 cents per pound. The product is now being retailled to the consumer at the rate of 16 cents a pound. Retail dealers admitted that the cost of cattle, calves, sheep and lambs had legitimately advanced in price recently, but not so much as to warrant the great increase demanded by the packers. Floods in the Ohio and Mississippi river districts were blamed for much of the increase in the cost of meat since such disturbances had been a reason for the higher cost of the transportation in the case of live stock. British Coal Strike Ended. The executive committee of the Miners' Federation met in London and, after they had gone over the complete returns of the miners' referent dum vote, decided to call off the strike and advise the men to go back to work. The final vote on the question of accepting the problems of the government's minimum wage bill and ending the strike was as follows: Against resumption, 244, 011. For resumption, 241, 013. The executive committee, after deciding to advise the men to return to work on the ground that a two-thirds vote would be necessary to either call or continue a strike, finally agreed to call a special meeting of the federation to indorse the decision of the committee. The meeting is to be held on Saturday, and it is expected that the formal order will then be issued to the men to return to work on Monday. Many of the miners, however, have anticipated the order and have already tion of the Reading railroad track follow their example during the next few days. Galf Venison and Veal Wilson White, a McVeytown, Pa. butcher, purchased a freak calf from Joseph Harshberger, of Bratton town- ship. The calf, which is eight weeks old, seems to be veal and venison in equal proportions. The markings of the deer are a round nose, long, slender legs; carries its head high; has pointed ears sticking straight from the head and moves about in leaps and bounds instead of the even strides of the domesticated animal. The animal's mother, a young heifer, was in pasture with deer in the Licking Creek Valley, in the heart of the Blue Ridge mountains, the past summer and fall. Woman Accused of Many Deaths. On the charge that she was responsible for the death of Joanette Laurency, aged eighteen years, Mrs. Esther Coyle was arrested in Paterson, N. J.

By Constant Care and Preparation the Soil Can Be Made to Withstand Long Dry Seasons. It is astonishing how little some farmers profit by their failures. For example, during the last three or four years a series of droughts has occurred, and many a farmer has seen his crops shrivel before his eyes while powerless to prevent their ruin. On the other hand, a few farmers have learned from experience and secured good crops notwithstanding the unfavorable weather. The secret of going through drought successfully lies in keeping the soil filled with humus so that it holds water like a sponge and in careful plowing, harrowing and surface cultivation. Even today the assertion that, in spite of drought or wet weather, the soils of the eastern states can produce good crops is scuffed at by many, "Scientific farming can do much, but you cannot change the weather," they say. Quite true, but we do not expect to change the weather; it is the soil we are going to change. The methods are simple enough, but the difficulty comes in applying them to specific causes. Soil to stand drought must be treated by what may be called modified dry farming methods. If the soil is so hard give it an application of lime. Most dry soils are sandy or gravelly, and hence ground limestone, oyster shells or marl is the best form to use, because all these are less destructive to humus than other forms. Use at least one ton an acre of any of these forms, which should not cost over $3 a ton. Preparing Pole for Strength. EDITOR MITCHELL'S QUERIES. related in the daily press that Mr. Melvin F.

TAUGHT BY BAD EXAMPLES. Short Ride Showed Observant Farmer What He Ought Not to Do In Managing His Place. In the Farm and Fireside a contributor reported a ride to town, during which he noticed three farmers who were managing their affairs badly. Here is his story: "The foremost had been a little rainy. It had cleared off nicely; so I hitched the horse to the buggy and started to the village, about five miles away, to do some trading. These are some of the things I saw: "Farmer No. 1, a well to do and respected man, had managed poorly, and so it happened he had run out of stove wood at a time of the day when it was most needed (nearly noon), and he had his son out with the ax making the ships fly just as another dashing above it came along. These few wet, soggy sticks were taken in for his wife to use in the preparation of dinner. "Farmer No. 2, another well to do and responsible man, had neglected to break his gown out as feet as he should have done last fall. This fodder and corn were badly wasting, and in a quarter of a mile of his field good bright fodder could not be found. "Farmer No. 8 had his wagon, plantr, corn plow and roller, backed up against the barnyard fence, slowly but surely rooting and rotting away. There was a large parch less than fifty feet away which would have covered part of them at least. "On my return home I thought about my farm, machinery, tools, frozen stock and the like. Were they where they ought to be, and what they should be? When I drove in and put my horses up I just get up on the big end post and looked around and thought. I must confess I saw many things that were not just right and were not on a gaying bench, but. I am young and daring, and I full to work and am doing up the things most needed just as that as I can. And it is no need to say I have never regretted these few actions on that next." Mommy's Supervisor. Mrs. Johnp—Jones practically lives in his autumnible. Mr. Johnp—Hans to.

Walsh, the sociologist, said of immigration in a recent lecture in Reading: "I would not restrict immigration. It is true that some immigrants, entering for the first time a free country, abuse their freedom. But they soon get over that. "We are all apt to abuse unwonted freedom. I know an Englishman who on his arrival in New York demanded a glass of whisky in a palatal bar. "Now, in England your whisky is measured out to you in a small tin measure, but in our bar the Englishman, to his astonishment, had the full bottle set before him. He was given for the first time the freedom of the bottle. "And, though a rich man, he abused that freedom. He took an enormous drink. Then he rose and handed the bartender 15 cents. "Hold on, sir," the bartender called after him. 'You've forgotten your change.' Illustrated Advertisement. Evening dress—one third off. "Well, Hawkins, old man," said Witherbee, "has your wife decided where you will spend the summer." "Yep," said Hawkins, "Going ahead." "So! And how about you?"

Simpson," and of times, calling under other names has been persistently arriving both white and colored people in Norfolk Portsmouth, Newport News and Phoebus. His pime has been to represent that he has money in a colored bank in this city. He gives his victim to write to John Mitchell, Jr., President and tell him to send him six hundred and fifty 400s or some like amount at once to the person who is writing the letter or advancing him a small sum of money until he has gotten his money from Richmond. He alleges that he is in captain of a sailing vessel, which according to his letters has been lost near Tumbles Light off Buckroe Beach and as he has been carrying on this kind of swaddling for about two years, that boat is presumably wrecked every two or three weeks. He asks that the latter be pined to him in part of the prison who did not want this happen. He never could build to one if the money came as he drank. We have written condemning to the people, who send these letters, but we have had quite a time to keep up with him. Keep clear of Captain John R. Hippeen or anybody who looks five him. S. W.
