KILTENHILL PIANO VOLUME XXIX, NUMBER 28. The chief practical effect of the present judgment is to compel the defendant to adopt another name which contains no reference to the Elks. Its organization is not interfered with and it may continue to exercise all its functions just as before. If its members desire the name of an animal there is a long list of beasts, birds and fishes which have not yet been appropriated for such a purpose. It is only the virtual misrepresentation that they are Elks that is complained of here. The judgment should be modified by striking out the provisions in regard to the names of officers and the colors used by the defendant, and as thus modified affirmed with out costs. Cullen, Ch. J.

PERRINS SEMINARY, 320 S. 10th St., Birmingham, A1a. The Elks' Decision. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, Respondent, against the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World and the Grand Lodge thereof. Appellants. (Decided May 24, 1912.) Appeal from a judgment of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court in the Second Department, entered on December 30, 1908, unanimously affirming a judgment rendered at a special term of the Supreme Court in Westchester county enjoining the defendant from using the name, "The Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World," or any similar title, The nature of the action and the facts, so far as material are stated in the opinion. D. Macon Webster and Assistant Department Attorney General Anderson Price for appellant. Thomas F. Curran for respondent. Willard Hartlett, J. This is a suit to restrain the defendant from using a corporate name so closely resembling that of the plaintiff as to be calculated to mislead and deceive the public and persons having transactions with other corporation. The plaintiff has been awarded the injunction which it sought, and upon unanimous affirmance of the restraining judgment the defendant has appealed to this court. Although there are nominally two defendants they constitute but one organization and will be treated as one defendant in this opinion. The plaintiff was incorporated by a special act of the Legislature (Laws of 1871, chap. 88) under the name of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, "to protect and aid its members and their families and to accumulate a fund for that purpose, which said fund shall be used and appropriated for no other purposes whatsoever," and it is authorized to acquire and hold real and personal estate to the value of $200,000, to cell and dispose of the same to have and use a common seal and to establish branch organizations. The corporation has grown and prospered, being now represented by branches in many other States of the Union and having an aggregate membership of about 280,000 persons. The defendant corporation, on the other hand is of comparatively recent origin, having been organized under the Membership Corporation Law in 1907. In the certificate of incorporation it is named the Grand Lodge of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, but in its publications it apears simply as the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, the designation as Grand Lodge being omitted. Its objects as defined in the certificate are similar to those of the plaintiff and it has established some branch organizations in this State and else where. The evidence indicates that its membership is made up chiefly of colored persons, while the members of the plaintiff corporation and its branches are exclusively white. According to one of the witnesses for the defendant, "there is a membership of about 50,000 colored Elks in the United States." While the question of color crops up in the evidence in this record, it does not appear to have any legal significance in the litigation. The rights of the parties have been determined in the courts below and must be adjudicated here precisely as though the members of both corporations were all of the same color. The grievances of the plaintiff is that the defendant has pursued a course designed to mislead and confuse the public by a deceptive imitation of the plaintiff's name, seal, emblem, membership card and the titles of its officers. This grievance is established by the findings of the trial judge at Special Term and the unanimous affirmance thereof by the Appellate Division, which precludes us from considering any of the points of the appellate based upon the alleged insufficiency of the evidence. The public policy of this State against permitting the use of misleading names by corporations of any character is evidenced by the legislation on the subject. Thus the General Corporation Law (Laws of 1909, chap. 26.5 as amended by Laws of 1911, chap. 638) provides that no certificate of incorporation of a proposed corporation having the same name as a corporation authorized to do business under the laws of this State, or a name so nearly resembling it as to be calculated to deceive, shall be filed or recorded in any office, for the purpose of affecting its incorporation or authorizing it to do business in this State. This provision is a substantial re-enactment of a section in the first General Corporation Law (Laws of 1890, chap. 563, 4). Ever more expressive of the legislative intent to repress the deceptive adoption of pre-existing corner ate names in section 948 of the Penal law originally enacted in 1908 (but which did not take effect until after judgment was rendered in this action): "No person, society or corporation shall, with intent to acquire or obtain for personal or business purposes a benefit or advantage assume, adopt or use the name of a benevolent, humane or charitable organization incorporated under the laws of this State, or a name so nearly resembling it as to be calculated to deceive the public with, respect to any such corporation. A violation of this statute shall be a misdemeanor." In case of a threatened violation the section goes on to provide for an injunction; and if it shall appear that the defendant is in fact using the name of a benevolent, humane or charitable organization incorporated an aforesaid, or a name so nearly resembling it as to be calculated to deceive the public, an injunction may be issued "without requiring proof that any person has in fact been misled or deceived thereby." The appellate insists that the names of the parties here have not enough similarity to support the action, and that in any event the judgment should not go further than to prohibit the use of the defendant's name without the prefix "improved" and the suffix "of the World." We think that the names are so similar as to be extremely likely to deceive and that a limitation of the injunction in the manner suggested would not give the plaintiff the relief to which it is entitled. Indeed, the plaintiff's organization has become so well and widely known simply as Elks (as the trial court has found) that the assumption of a title containing that appellation by any other independent behenolent corporation or fraternal order would in and of itself convey the false impression that there was some connection between them. Therefore, the learned judge as Special Term was right in enjoining the defendant from, in any wise, using the word Elk or Elks as part of its title or incorporation. The case would be quite different if the members of the defendant organization had ever been members of the plaintiff corporation and had succeeded therefrom because of dissatisfaction with its methods of administration or for any other good and sufficient reason. In that event the representation that the members of the defendant were Elks or had been Elks would be true as matter of fact, and the use of the parent name as part of the name of a new society formed by members of the original organization as an offshoot thereof has sometimes been sanctioned. (See Supreme Lodge Knights of Pythias vs. Improved Order Knights of Pythias, 113 Mich. 123.) Here, however, there has been no secession and the defendant is in no sense an offshoot of the plaintiff associates. We think the judgment goes too far, however, in forbidding the defendant from using the same titles for its officers as those borne by the officers of the plaintiff. We can perceive no valid legal objection to the use of such titles as exalted ruler, esteemed leading knight, tiler, etc., by any association which chooses thus to designate its officials. This is a harmless limitation of the plaintiff, complimentary rather than otherwise. The prohibition against the use of the colors of the plaintiff corporation, to wit, purple and white, should also be stricken from the judgment. A case might arise in which the use of a particular combination or arrangement of colors ought to be forbidden, but no such general prohibition as this can be sanctioned. Judgment accordingly. 2 Closing Exercises. Florence, B. C. May 24—(It is said that Bulboa while gazing puon that mighty ocean, the Pacific buckled his sword around him, waded out into that stream and with a drawn sword claimed all the peaceful ocean and the land bordering upon it for Spain, his native land.) At this season of the year thousands of Negro boys and girls will meet at a common place to witness the finishing touch of the work of the teacher for this session. As we gaze into their faces well might we as workers for the Master claim all of these for the Lord. During the day the sun sent forth his tropical rays that reminded one of his home, the Southland the most favored spot on earth. But as daylight began to disappear and darkness was seen in the distance a delightful breeze crept softly from the South. At quite an early hour the pupils, friends and patrons of the Wilson Graded School began to arrive and when at the first sound of the piano as the initiative of the graduating exercise of the Wilson Graded School The graduating class consisted of Misses Theresa Beatrice Howe, Nancy Elizabeth Rowell, Leona May Webster and Eliza Louise Williams led by Prof. J.

The exercises on Monday night consisted of dialogues, recitations and last, but not least, "Who Killed Cook Robin." A packed church witnessed the occasion. On Thursday night a play entitled The New Minister was rendered. The entire affair during the week was of a high class nature and reflected much credit upon Prof. W. T. Singleton and his corps of teachers. The address of Prof. Wallace was practical and showed the speaker to be a gentleman of wide experience. The boys and girls of our schools are our nation assets, and must be so regarded. We are not to lay impediments in their way. "Why not then," said the speaker, "have a night school for the benefit of those not able to attend in the day, as in many of our large cities." We need well trained leaders to guide us. The well trained man holds success in his hand," said the speaker. Strict attention was given to the address throughout. Many prominent white citizens witted the exercises. The corps of teachers of the Wilson Graded School consists of Prof. W. T. Singleton, Mrs. L. C. Sinleton, Mrs. M. E. Howe, Miss M. E. Scott, Miss F. E. Brown, Mrs. S. E. Bowler, Miss M. S.

Theodore Cable the Crimean's fore most hammer-thruster and all-around athlete, is the logical selection for leader in 1913. He is by far the best athlete on the team, and his grand work all the present season would certainly have earned him the position hands down had he been white. As Harvard has a Japanese base ball manager, a Negro track leader would not seem so far fetched as one would imagine. If Cable will to land the position, it will probably fall to J. B.

"An editorial writer your stand is at the head. The editorial I am referring to was headed, "Candidates and Brownville." May I ask you a few questions on the brownville matter? When this subject came to light, were not one, two or three or more committees sent to get the reports and did Mr. Roosevelt call men of our race to consider the discharge and in your own paper a few weeks ago, did you not say in your editorial that another person was responsible for the discharge of the colored battalion? If these facts are true, your sharp expressions about Mr. Roosevelt are unfair, immanch as we all regret this grave mistake and it is not too much to say that not only the mistake was made in 1906, but the way some of the colored editors would have the voters go would still more administer a deadly blow to our progress. The mistake of this kind must not stand in our pathway. A man is a man and our editors should by this time have found true facts in this case. Mr. Roosevelt will talk common sense with men of any race and I beg you, Mr. Mitchell to deal out your editorial fair to all. Mr. Roosevelt is the people's candidate, which means all races and the time is here to stop fighting and save the cause of the whole Ethiopian race. In New Quarters.

Burrell was acquitted in the Hustings Court of this city upon the charge of permitting the Savings Bank of the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers, of which he was a director to receive deposits after he knew that the bank was involvent. Commonwealth Attorney Minetree Polkes, thereupon entered a noille prosequi in the cases of all of the other exTrue Reformer officials. Contrary to previous announcements exGov. A. J. Montague did not appear in the case and only Attorney R. Lynch Montague assisted in the prosecution. This result was reached May 20, 1912. MUCH DISSATISFACTION Attorney H. M. Smith, Jr. handled the case with consummate ability and won out on all points for his clients. Attorney K. Evelyn Hyrd assisted in the defense of the indicted official. The outcome of the case has caused widespread satisfaction among the colored people of the city and practically every where that colored people gathered it was the subject of adverse comment. As straggle as it may seem there were some people, who believed that a verdict of guilty would be rendered in some of the cases. There can hardly be any doubt, but what the prosecution weakened. ANOTHER REWARD OFFERED Grand Worthy Master Floyd Ross was out of the city during the trial of Mr. Burrell, but upon his return he learned of the facts. A report was circulated that he would resign June 10th, but he has since denied this. A publication was made that he had offered a reward of $2000 for the arrest and conviction of R. Cashier R. T.

THE WORLD OF THE HUMAN A wonderfully prophetic fiction story written fourteen years ago of the wreck of the TITAN, which, like the Titanic, was the world's largest and most palatial vessel and generally regarded as insinkable and indestructible. Like the Titanic, too, the TITAN was wrecked by an iceberg in the month of April when speeding along the northern lane route of the Atlantic. The wreck in CHAPTER I. The Unsinkable Titan. S HE was the largest craft inventor and the greatest of the work of men. In her construction and maintenance were have ed every science, profession and trade known to civilization. On her bridges were officers who possessed the pick of the naval navy, had good rigid armaments in all styles that pertained to the wards, tooles, armaments and geography of the sea. They were not only armed but also hostile. The same proficiency is still applied to the personnel of the engine room and the stewardship thereof were paid to that of a craft engineer. From the beaches, ocean room and a dozen places on her desk the ninety-two doors of the ocean water tight compartments could be closed in half a minute by turning a lever. These doors would also close automatically in the presence of water. With nine compartments flooded the ship would still float, and as no known accident of the sea could possibly fill this many the steamship Titan was considered irreversibly unsustainable. Built of steel throughout and for pas- enger traffic only, she carried no com- municable cargo to threaten her destruc- tion by fire, and the immunity from the demand for cargo space had en- dured her designers to disard the fat, bettle bottom of cargo boats and give her the sharp dead rise or slant from the keel of a steam yacht, and this improved her behavior in a seaway. She was 500 feet long of 700" tons displacement, 400" horsespower, and on her trial trip had steamed at a rate of twenty five knots an hour over the bottom, in the face of unconsidered winds, tides and currents. In short, she was a floating city, containing within her steel walls all that tends to minimize the dangers and discom- forts of the Atlantic voyage, all that makes it integrable. Unthinkable, hide sturtiable, the car rided in, few boats as would satisfy the laws. These twenty four in number, were securely covered and lashed down to their checks on the upper deck, and if bounded would hold four people. She carried no business, cum personale life rafts, but because the law required it each of the 200 herds in the passengers' officers' and crew's quarters contained a cork jacket, whence about twenty circular life buoys were stwned along the raft. In view of her absolute superiority to other craft, a rule of navigation thoroughly believed in by some cap- tains, but not yet openly followed, was announced by the steamship company to apply to the Titan. She would steam at full speed in fog, storm and sunshine and on the northern lane route, winter and summer, for the following good and substantial reasons: First, that if another craft should strike her the force of the impact would be distributed over a larger area if the Titan had full headway, and the brunt of the damage would be borne by the other; second, that if the Titan was the aggressor she would certainly destroy the other craft, even at half speed, and perhaps damage her own bows, while at full speed she would cut her in two with no more dam- PETER H. like to leave, fell on a public bush, could remedy. In either case, so the lesser of two evils, it was lost that the smaller ball should suffer. A third reason was that at full speed she could be more easily struck out of danger, and in certain that the color of an end on an object with an arcing the only thing noticeable that the could not be quarreled would be missed on but a few feet forrest at full then at half speed at the most three perfectly with the ball, which would be at the end with six passes to spart. Sir Thomas was born and expected then when the war broke out and then solved the problem of the war. He worked for the pressmen there and always with the pressmen and reporters of a railway train. Sir Thomas was a well-known officer in the pressmen and reporters of the third return train and had been the time between Sir Thomas Hook and Dormant for the third return train and it was the third return train that the 2004 pressmen there and the New York train of that year were made to leave. Light the ship, opened the port to midstream and pushed it down the river, then pushed on the bridge, opened a worm, and two of the first officer blow a short beam on the wheel and turned a lever, the top path erect in the wheel and drew it down in the hooves of the ship three small engines were started, opening the throttles of the three engines, three propellers began to revolve, and the main moth, with a tracery tremble running through her gear at frame, moved slowly to sea. East of SandyHook the pilot was dropped and the real voyage began. Fifty feet below her deck, in an interior of house and heat and light and shadow, passers wheeled the pickled fox from the tankers to the firehold, where half stackers, with faces like those of tortured flocks, tossed it into the eighty white hot months of the furnaces. In the engine room officers passed to and fro, in and out of the plunging, two long, glistening steel, with oil and waste, overseen by the watchful staff on duty, who listened with strained hearing for a false note in the confused jumble of sound or a clicking of steel ring of tune which would indicate a possessed key or nut.

Some were seated in steamer chinrs, well wrapped, for, though it was April the salt air was chilly, some paused the deck, acquiring their sea legs, others listened to the orchestra in the music room or read or written in the library, and a few took to the berths, seated from the sight to the ship on the ground west. The little boy was blinded with a set of teeth and then the boy was endure counting in it which strenuously gallops put to a touch of their time. Headed by a sky food bootshoe, a gang came off on the starboard side with paint the oats and brushes and distilled the oils among the rain. "Davies an stunniions, men never mind the rain!" said the beatswain. "Ladies, better move your chinrs back a little. Rowland climbs down out of' that; you'll be overboard. Take a ventilator. "No, you'll spill paint. Put your bucket away an' get some sand-paper from the yewing. Work inboard till you get it out of' you." The sather, addressed, a slight built man of about thirty, black bearded and bronzed to the sophistication of healthy vigor, but watery eyes and unstylish of movement, came down from the rail and shambled forward with his bucket. As he reached the group of ladies to whom the bouttawah had spoken his gaze rested on one, a sunny haired young woman with the blue of the sea in her eyes, who had arisen at his approach. He started, turned aside as if to avoid her, raising his the fiction story happened in about the same place that the Titanic disaster occurred, and there were not sufficient life boats and rafts to take off the passengers and crew. Read and you will see that there are many other remarkable and startling coincidences between the wreck of the TITAN, the largest steamship of the world of fiction, and the wreck of the Titanic, the largest steamship of the material world.

"Oh, George me!" she answered to agitated ones "John Rowland is here—Lieutenant Rowland. I've just seen him, he is so changed; he just tried to speak to me." "Who that troublesome figure of yours? I never met him, you know, and you haven't told me much about him. What is he first called?" "Not he seems to be a common sailor. He is working and is dressed in old clothes, all dirty. And such a disgusted face too. He seems to have fallen so low. And it is all since" "Since you sourced on him? Well, it is no fault of yours, dear. If a man has it in him hell go to the dogs anyhow. How is his sense of injury? Has he a guidance or a grudge? You are badly upset. What did he say?" "I don't know. He said nothing. I've always been afraid of him. I've met him three times since then, and he puts such a frightful look in his eyes—and he was no violent and headstrong and so irritably angry that time. He accused me of lending him on and playing with him, and he said something about an immutable law of chance and a governing balance of events that I couldn't understand, only where he said that for all the suffering we inflict on others we receive an equal amount ourselves. Then he event away in such a passion. I've imagined ever since that he would take some revenge. He might steal our Myra—our baby." She strained the smiling child to her breast and went on. "I liked him at first, until I found out that he was an atheist. Why, George, he actually denied the existence of God and to me, a professing Christian." "He had a wonderful nerve," said the husband, with a smile. "Didn't know you very well. I should say." "He never seemed the same to me." after that," she resumed. "I felt he though in the presence of something unclean. Yet I thought how glorious it would be if I could save him to God and tried to convince him of the loving care of Jesus, but he only ridiculed all I hold sacred and said that much as he valued my good opinion he would not be a hypocrite to gain it and that he would be honest with himself and others and express his honest unbelief—the ideal. As though one could be honest without God's help—and then one day I smelled liquor on his breath—he always smelled of tobacco—and I gave him up. It was then that he—that he broke out." "Come out and show me this reprobate," said the husband, rising. They went to the door and the young woman pared out. "He is the last man down there—close to the cabin," she said as she drew in. The husband stepped out. "What! That hangdog ruffian securing the ventilator? So that's Rowland of the navy, is it? Well, this is a tumble. Wasn't he broken for conduct unbecoming an anter? Got roaring drunk at the president's leave, didn't he? I think I read of it." "I know he lost his position and was terribly disgusted," answered the wife. "Well, Myrn, the poor devil is harmed now. We'll be across in a few days, and you needn't meet him on this broad deck. If he hasn't lost all sensibility he has embarrassed as you. Better stay in now. It's getting foggy." CHAPTER II: HEN the watch turned out at midnight they found a vihicle half gale blowing from the northeast, which, added to the speed of the steamship, made so far as effects on her deck went, a fairly uncomfortable whole gale of chilly wind. The head sea, choppy as compared with her great length, dealt the Titan sucessive blows, each one attended by supplementary tremors to the continuous vibrations of the engines, each one sending a cloud of thick spray aloft that reached the crow's nest on the foremast and battered the pilot house windows on the bridge to a liquid bombardment that would have broken ordinary glass. A fog bank into which the ship had plunged in the afternoon still enveloped her, damp and impenetrable, and into the gray ever recurrent wall ahead, with two deck officers and three hostiles straining sight and hearing to the almost the great racer was charging with unimpeded speed. At a quarter past 12 two men crawled in from the darkness at the ends of the eighty-foot bridge and shouted to the first officer, who had just taken the deck, the names of the men who had relieved them. Backing up to the pilot house, the officer repeated the names to a quarter in star within who entered them in the log book. Then the men vanished to that coffee and "watch below." In a few moments, another ship appeared on the bridge and reported the crow's nest relief. "Rowland you say?" bowled the of three above the bowling of the whip "I be the man who was lifted above drink so today!" "You say." "Is he straight now?" "Yes." "All right, tell the Enter Keyboard in the office, and give permission." sold the officer, then, making a form of his hand, he fouled out, "welcome there." "Sir," came the answer, shril and clear on the gob. "Keep your eyes open. Keep sharp lookout." "Very good." "Been a man of war's man. I judged by his answer. They're no good." muttered the officer. He resumed his position at the forward side of the bridge where the wooden railing affixed some shelter from the raw wind, and began the long vigil which would end only when the second officer relieved him four hours later. Conversation was forbidden among the bridge officers of the Titan, and his watch mate the third officer, stood on the other side of the large bridge binnacle, leaving this position only occasionally to glance in at the compass, which seemed to be his sole duty at sea. Shuttered by one of the deck houses below, the boatwain and the watch paced back and forth, enjoying the only two hours' respite which steamship rules afforded, for the day's work had ended with the going down of the other watch, and at 2 o'clock the washing of the 'twen deck would begin as an opening task in the next day's labor. By the time one bell had sounded, with its repetition from the crow's nest, followed by a long drawn cry "ALL's well!" from the lookouts, the last of the 220 passengers had retired, leaving the spacious cabins and steerage in possession of the watchmen, while sound asleep in his cabin abaft the chart room was the captain, the commander who never commanded unless the ship was in danger, for the pilot had charge, making and leaving port, and the officers at sea. Two bells were struck and answered, then three, and the boatswain and his men were lighting up for a final smoke when there rang out overhead a startling cry from the crow's nest. "Something ahead, sir, can't make it out." The first officer sprang to the engine room telegraph and grapped the lever. "Sing out what you see," he roared. "Hard a port, sir, ship on the starboard tack, dead ahead!" came the cry. "Port your wheel hard over," repeated the first officer to the quartermaster at the helm, who answered and obeyed. Nothing as yet could be seen from the bridge. The powerful steering engine in the stern, ground the rudder over, but before three degrees on the compass card were traversed by the lubber's point a seeming thickening of the darkness and fog abend resolved itself into the square sails of a deep indent ship crossing the Titan's bow not half her length away. "H- and d-!" growled the first officer. "Steady on your course, quartermaster!" he shouted. "Stand from un- dor on deck!" He turned a lever which closed compartments, pushed a button marked "Captain's Room" and crouched down, nawling the crash. There was hardly a crash. A slight jar book the forward end of the Titan, and sliding down her fore topmast stay and rattling on deck came a shower of small spars, sails, blocks and wire rope. Then in the darkness to starboard and port two darker shapes shot by—the two halves of the ship she had cut through—and from one of these shapes, where still burned a bluntance light, was heard, high above the confused murmur of shouts and shrieks, a salatory voice: "May the curse of God light on you and your cheese knife, you brass bound murders." The shapes were swallowed in the blackness eastern, the eries were hushed by the clamor of the gale, and the steamship Titan swing back to her course. The first officer had not turned the lever of the engine room telegraph. J. "Something ahead, sir. Can't make it out." "Something ahead, sir. Can't make it out." The boatswain bounded up the steps of the bridge for instructions. "But then at the hatches and doors. Send every one who comes on deck to the chart room. Tell the watchman to notify what the passengers have learned, and clear away that wreck forward as soon as possible." The voice of the officer was bourse and strained as he gave these directions, and the "Aye, aye, aye" of the boatswain was uttered at a gust. The crew's feet clad in safety foot along the deck had seen every detail of the horror from the moment when the upper half of the deplimped ship had appeared to him above the fog to the time when the last tangle of wreckage was out away by his watch matches below. When relieved at four bells he descended with as little strength in his limbs as was compati- ble with safety in the rigging. At the rail the boatswain met him. "Report your tollet, Brownhill, be told, 'hand to the tollet pass.'" On the bride as he gave the name of his successor, the first officer sent his hand, pressed it and reported the bride's order. In the short passage he found the caption of the bride's face and intense in manner served at a table and grouped around him the whole of the watch on deck, except the officers, lodgings and quarter masters. The entire watchmen were there and some of the watch below, among whom, were stolers and coal passers, and a few of the officers, lampmen, yeoman and butchers, who, sleeping forward, had been awakened by the terrible blow of the great hollow knife within which they lived. Three carpenter's mates stood by the floor with sounding rods in their hands. which they had just shown the captain—dry. Every face, from the captain's down, wore a look of horr and expectancy. A quartermaster followed Rowland in and said: "Engineer felt no jar in the engine room, air, and there's no excitement in the stokebold." "And you watchmen report no alarm in the cabins. How about the stuereage? Is that man back?" asked the captain. Another watchman appeared as he spoke: "All asleep in the stuereage, air," he said. Then a quartermaster entered with the same report of the forecunties. "Very well," said the captain, rising. "One by one come into my office, watchman first, then potty officers, then the man. Quartermasters will watch the door, that no man goes out until I have seen him." He passed into another room, followed by a watchman, who presently emerged and went on deck with a more pleasant expression of face. Another entered and came out, then another and another until every man but Rowland had been within the sacred premises, all to wear the same pleased or satisfied look on reappearing. When Rowland entered, the captain, seated at a desk, motioned him to a chair and asked his name. "John, Rowland," he answered. The captain wrote it down. "I understand," he said, "that you were in the crow, not when this unfortunate collision occurred." "Yes, sir, and I reported the ship as soon as I saw her." "You are not here to be consumed. You are aware, of course, that nothing could be done either to avert this terrible calamity or to save life afterward." "Nothing at a speed of twenty-five knots an hour in a thick fog, sir." The captain glanced sharply at Rowland and frowned. "We will not discuss the speed of the ship, my good man," he said, "or the rules of the company. You will find, when you are paid at Liverpool, a package addressed to you at the company's office containing £100 in banknotes. This you will receive for your silence in regard to this collision; The rebooking of which would entail rass the company and help no one. "On the contrary, captain, I shall not receive it. On the contrary, sir, I shall speak of this wholesale murder at the first opportunity." The captain leamed back and stared at the debauched face and trembling figure of the sailor, with which this defiant speech so little accorded. Under ordinary circumstances he would have sent him on deck to be dealt with by the officers. But this was not an ordinary circumstance. In the watery eyes was a look of shock and horror and honest indignation. The accents were those of an educated man, and the consequences hanging over himself and the company for which he worked—already complicated by and involved in his efforts to avoid them—which this man might precipitate were so extreme that such questions as insolence and difference in rank were not to be thought of. He must meet and subdue this Tartar on common ground—as man to man. "Are you aware, Rowland," he asked quietly, "that you will stand alone, that you will be discredited, lose your birth and make enemies?" "I am aware of more than that," answered Rowland excitedly. "I know of the power vested in you as captain. I know that you can order me into frons from this room for any offense you wish to imagine. And I know that an unwitnessed, uncorroborated entry in your official log concerning me would be evidence enough to bring me life imprisonment. But I also know something of admiralty law—that from my prison cell I can send you and your first officer to the gallows." "You are mistaken in your conceptions of evidence. I could not cause your conviction by a log book entry, nor could you from a prison injure me. What are you, may I make an ex-lawyer?" "A graduate of Annapolis—your equal in professional technique." "None whatever." "And what is your object in taking this stand, which can do you no possible good, though certainly not the harm you speak of?" "That I may do one good, strong act in my useless life, that I may help to arouse such a sentiment of anger in the two countries as will forever end this wanton destruction of life and property for the sake of speed, that will save the hundreds of fishing craft and others run down yearly to their owners, and the crowds to their families." Both men, had risen, and the captain was pacing the floor as Rowland, with flashing eyes and clenched fists, delivered this declaration. "A result to be hoped for, Rowland," said the former, pansing before him, "but beyond your power or mine to accomplish. Is the amount I named large enough? Could you fill a position on my bridge?" "I can tell a thief, and your company is not rich enough to buy me." "You seem to be a man without ambition, but you don't have wants." "I food, clothing, shelter and whisky," said Rowland with a letter, self-contemplations laugh. "The captain reached down a doorster and two glasses from a swirling tray and said as he placed them before him. "Here is one of your wants." "Fill up." Rowland's eyes glistened as he poured out a glassful, and the captain followed. "I will drink with you, Rowland," he said. "Here is to your better understanding." He tossed off the bounty. then Rowland, who had waited, said, "I prefer drinking alone, captain," and drank the whisky at a gulp. The captain's face flushed at the affront, but he controlled himself. "Go on deck, now, Rowland," he said. "I will talk with you again before we reach soundings. Meanwhile I request not require, but request that you hold no unpleasant conversation with your shipmates in regard to this matter." To the first officer, when relieved at eight bells, the captain said: "He is a broken down wreck with a temporarily active conscience, but is not the man to buy or intimidate. He knows too much. However, we've found his weak point. If he gets snakes before we dock his testimony is worthless. Fill him up and I'll see the surgeon and study up on drugs." When Rowland turned out to break fast at seven bells that morning he found a pint flask in the pocket of his G. M. M. "I prefer drinking alone, captain." pea jacket, which he felt of, but did not pull out in sight of his watch mate. "Well, captain," he thought, "you are in truth about as pierite. Insplid a secondnel as ever escaped the law. I'll save you your dugged Dutch courage for evidence." But it was not drugged, as he learned later. It was good while. Ry-1 leader—to warm his Mornack while the captain was studying. An incident occurred that morning which drew Rowland's thoughts far from the happenings of the night. A few hours of bright sunshine had brought the passengers on deck like bees from a hive, and the two broad promenades resembled in color and life the streets of a city. The watch was busy at the inevitable scrubbing, and Rowland, with a swab and bucket, was cleaning the white paint on the starboard taffrail, screened from view by the after deck house, which shunt off a narrow space at the stern. A little girl ran into the enclosure, laughing and screaming, and clung to his legs while she jumped up and down in an overflow of spirits. "I wunned 'way," she said; "I wuned 'way from mamma." CHAPTER III DRYING his wet hands on his trousers, Rowland lifted the toot and said tenderly, "We little one, you must run back to mamma. You're in bad company. The innocent eyes smiled into his own and then a foolish proceeding, which only bachelors are guilty of the heir her above the roll in jesting menace "Shall I drop you over to the fishes baby?" he asked, while his features softened to an unwanted smile. The child gave a little scream of fright and at that instant a young woman appeared around the corner. She sprang toward Rowland like a tigress, snatched the child, stared at him for a moment with dilated eyes and then disappeared, leaving him limp and nerveless, breathing hard. "It is her child," he groused. "That was the mother look. She is married." He resumed his work with a face as near the color of the paint he was rubbing as the tanned skin of a sailor may become. Ten minutes later the captain in his office was listening to a complaint from a very excited man, and woman. "And you say, colonel," said the captain, "that this man Rowland is an old enemy?" "He is or was once a rejected matrir of Mrs. Selfridge. That is all I know of him, except that he has hinted at rebellion. My wife is certain of what she saw, and I think the man should be confined." --- "Why, captain," said the woman vehemently as she hung her child, "you should have seen him! He was just about to drop Myra over as I sent her, and he had such a frightful beat on his face too! Oh, it was lifeless. I shall not sleep another wink in this ship, I know." "I bag you will give yourself no unmeasured, madman," said the captain gravely. "I have already learned something of his傲慢ness that he is a designed and broken down travel officer. But as he hasailed three voyages with us I had credited his willingness to work before the most to his craving for liquor, which he could not satisfy without money. How ever, as you think, he may be following you. Was he able to learn of your movements that you were to take pleasure in this ship?" "Why not I examined the husband," The most known one of Mrs. Selfridge's friends." "Yes, yes," she said eagerly. "I have heard him spoken of several times." "Then it is clear," said the captain. "If you will pledge madam to testify against him in the English courts I will immediately put him in irons for attempted murder." "Oh, do, captain," she exclaimed. "I cannot feel safe while he is at liberty of course I will testify." "Whatver you do, captain," said the husband savagely. "Just assured that I shall put a bullet through his head if he meddles with me or mine again. Then you can put me in irons." "I will see that he is attended to, colonel," replied the captain, as he allowed them out of his office. But as a murder charge is not all always the best way to discredit a man and as the captain did not believe that the man who had defended him would murder a child and as the charge would be difficult to prove in any case and would cause him much trouble and innocence, he did not order the arrest of John Rowland, but merely directed that for the time he should be kept at work by day in the 'tween deck out of sight of the passengers. ```markdown ``` Rowland, surprised at his sudden transfer from the disagreeable 'scrubbing to a "soldier's job" of painting life buoys in the warm tween deck, was shrewd enough to know that he was being closely watched by the boatswain that morning, but not shrewd enough to affect any symptoms of intoxication or drugging, which might have satisfied his curious superiors and brought him more whisky. As a result of his brighter eyes and steadier voice—due to the curative sen air—when he turned out for the first dog watch on deck at 4 o'clock the captain and boatswain held an interview in the chart room, in which the former said: "Do not be alarmed. It is not poison. He is halfway into the horrors now, and this will merely bring them on. He will see snakes, ghosts, goldlings, shipwrecks, fire and all sorts of things. It works in two or three hours. Just drop it into his drinking pot while the port forecastle is empty." There was a fight in the port for castle to which Rowland belonged at supper time, which need not be described beyond mention of the fact that Rowland, who was not a participant, had his pot of tea dashed from his hand before he had taken three swallows. He prepared a fresh supply and finished his supper, then, taking no part in his watch mates' open discussion of the fight and guarded discussion of collisions, gilled into his bank and smoked until eight bells, when he turned out with the rest. "Rowland," said the big bootswain, as the watch mastered on deck, "take the starboard bridge lookout." "It is not my trick, boats'n." said Rowland in surprise. "Orders from the bridge. Get up ```markdown ``` there." 1 1 Rowland grumbled, as sailors may when aggrieved, and obeyed. The man he relieved reported his name and disappeared. The first officer sauntered down the bridge, uttered the official "Keep a good lookout", and returned to his post: then the silence and loneliness of a night watch at sea, intensified by the never ceasing hum of the engines and relieved only by the sounds of distant music and laughter from the theater, descended on the forward part of the ship, for the fresh westerly wind coming with the Titan made nearly a calm on her desk, and the dense fog, though overshore. C. B. She Sprang Toward Rowland Like a Tigress, by a bright star specked sky, was so chilly that the last talkative passenger had fled to the light and life within. When three hells (0.39) had sounded and Rowland had given in his turn the resplified call, "All's well!" the first of four left his post and approached him "Rowland," he said as he drew neat. "I hear you've walked the quarter deck." "I cannot imagine how you learned it, sir," replied Rowland. "I am not in the habit of referring to it." "You told the captain. I suppose the curriculum is as complete at Annapolis as at the Royal Naval college. What do you think of Maury's theories of currents?" "They seem plausible," said Rowland, unconsciously dropping the salt. "but I think that in most particulars he has been proved wrong." "Yes, I think so myself. Did you ever follow up another idea of his—that of beating the position of ice in a fog by the rate of decrease in temperature as approached?" "Not to any definite result. But it seems to be only a matter of calculation and time to calculate. Cold is negative heat and can be treated like radiant energy, decreasing as the square of the distance." The officer stood a moment looking ahead and humming a tune to himself, then saying, "Yes; that's so," returned to his place. "Must have a cast iron stomach," he muttered as he poured into the binnacle, "or else the boataw'n dosed the wrong man's pot." Rowland glanced after the retreating officer with a cynical smile. "I wonder," he said to himself, "why he comes down here talking navigation to a fore-must hand. Why am I up here—out of my turn? Is this something in line with that bottle?" He resumed the short pacing back and forth on the end of the bridge, and the rather gloomy train of thought which the officer had interrupted. "How long," he mused, "would his ambition and love of profession last him after he had met and won and lost the only woman on earth to him? Why is it that failure to hold the affections of one among the millions of women who live and love can outweigh every blessing in life and turn a man's nature into a hell to consume him? Who did she marry? - Some one prob- ably a stranger, long after my banishment, who came to her possessed of a few qualities of mind or physique that pleased her, who did not need to love her—his chances were better without that—and he steps coolly and casually into my heaven. And they tell us that 'God death all things well' and that there is a heaven where all our unattainted wants are attended to—provided we have the necessary faith in it. That means, if it means anything, that after a lifetime of unrecognized allegiance, during which I win nothing, but her fear and contempt, I may be rewarded by the love and companionship of her soul. Do I love her soul? Has her soul beauty of face and the figure and carriage of a Venus? Has her soul deep blue eyes and a sweet, musical voice? Has it wit and grace and charm? Has it a wealth of pity for suffering? These are the things I loved. I do not love her soul, if she has one. I do not want it. I want her I need her." He stopped in his walk and leaned against the bridge railing, with eyes fixed on the fog ahead. He was speaking his thoughts about now, and the first officer drew within hearing, listened a moment and went back. "Working on him," he whispered to the third officer. Then he pushed the button which called the captain, blew a short blast of the steam whistle as a call to the boat swain and resumed his watch on the drugged lookout, while the third officer conned the ship. The steam call to the boatswain is so common a sound on a steelship as to generally pass unnoticed. This call affected another besides the boatswain. A little nightgowned figure arrose from an underberth in a saloon stateroom and, with wide open, staring eyes, groped its way to the deck unobserved by the watchman. The white, bare little feet felt no cold as they patterned the planks of the deserted promenade, and the little figure had reached the steerage entrance by the time the captain and boatswain had reached the bridge. "And they talk," went on Rowland as the three watched and listened, "of the wonderful love and care of a merciful God, who controls all things, who has given me my defects and my capacity for loving and then placed Myra Gaunt in my way. Is there mercy to me in this? As part of a great evolutionary principle, which develops the race life at the expense of the individual, it might be consistent with the idea of a God—a first cause. But does the individual who perishes, because unfit to survive, owe any love or gratitude to this God? He does not! On the supposition that he exists, I deny it! And on the complete lack of evidence that he does exist, I affirm to myself the integrity of cause and effect, which is enough to explain the universe and me. A merciful God—a kind, loving, just and merciful God"—He burst into a fit of incongruous laughter, which stopped short as he clapped his hands to his stomach and then to his head. "What all me?" he gasped. "I feel as though I had awailed hot coals—and my head—and my eyes—I can't see." The pain left him in a moment, and the laughter returned. "What's wrong with the starboard anchor? It's moving. It's changing. It's a—what? What on earth is it? On end—and the windlass—and the spare anchors—and the dawfs—all alive—all moving." The sight he saw would have been horrid to a healthy mind, but it only moved this man to increased and uncontrollable merriment. The two rails he low leading to the stem had arisen before him in a shadowy triangle, and within it were the deck fittings he had mentioned. The windlass had become a thing of horror, black and forbidding. The two end barrels were the bulging, lightless eyes of a nondescript monster, for which the cable chains had multiplied themselves into innumerable legs and tentacles. And this thing was crawling around within the triangle. The anchor davids were many headed serpents which danced on their tails and the anchors themselves writhed and squirmed in the shape of luminous hairy caterpillars, while faces appeared on the two white lantern towers, grinning and leering at him. With his hands on the bridge rail and tears streaming down his face, he laughed at the strange sight, but did not speak, and the three, who had quietly approached, drew back to await, while below on the promemde deck the little white figure, as though attracted by his laughter, turned into the stairway leading to the upper deck. The phantasmagoria failed to a blank wall of gray fog, and Rowland found sanity to matter. "They've drugged me," but in an instant he stood in the darkness of a garden, one that he had known. In the distance were the lights of a house, and close to him was a young girl, who turned from him and ded, even as he called to her. By a supreme effort of will he brought himself back to the present, to the bridge he stood upon and to his duty. "Why must it haunt me through the years," he groused, "drunk then, drunk alone? She could have saved me, but she chose to damn me." He strove to pace up and down, but staggered and clung to the rail, while the three watchers approached again, and the little white figure below climbed the upper bridge steps. "The survival of the fittest," he bawled as he stared into the fog—"cause and effect. It explains the universe—and me." He lifted his hand and spoke loudly, as though to some unseen familiar of the deep "What will be the last effect? Where in the scheme of ultimate balance, under the law of the correlation of energy, will my wasted wealth of love be gathered and weighed and credited? What will balance it, and where will I be? Myra, Myra," he called, "do you know what A The Little White Figure Steed at His Foot. you have just! Do you know, in your goodness and purity and truth, of what you have done!

And in the vast, limitless emptiness there was no sound or life or change and in his heart neither fear nor wonder nor emotion of any kind save one, the unspeakable hunger of a love that had failed. Yet it seemed that he was not John Rowland, but some one or something else, for presently he saw himself far away, millions of billions of milled, as though on the outermost fringes of the void, and heard his own voice calling. Fatally, yet distinctly, filled with the concentrated despair of his life, came the call, "Myra, Myra." There was an answering call, and looking for the second voice, he beheld her—the woman of his love—on the opposite edge of space, and her eyes held the tenderness and her voice held the pleading that he had known but in dreams. "Come back!" she called. "Come back to me!" But it seemed that the two could not understand, for again he heard the despairing cry. "Myra. Myra, where are you?" and again the answer: "Come back! Come." Then in the far distance to the right appeared a faint point of flame, which grew larger. It was approaching, and he dispassionately viewed it, and when he looked again for the two they were gone, and in their places were two clouds of nebula, which resolved into myriad points of sparkling light and color whirling, enervating, until they filled all space. And through them the larger light was coming—and growing larger, straight for him. He heard a rushing sound and, looking for it, saw in the opposite direction a formidable object as much darker than the gray of the void as the fame was brighter, and it, too, was growing larger and coming. And it seemed to him that this light and darkness were the good and evil of his life, and he watched to see which would reach him first, but felt no surprise or regret when he saw that the darkness was norest. It come closer and closer until it brushed him on the side. "What have we here, Rowland?" and a voice. Instantly the whirling points were blotted out, the universe of gray changed to the fog, the flame of light to the moon rising above it and the slopesel darkness to the form of the first officer. The little white figure, which had just darted past the three watchers, stood at his foot. As though warned by an inner 'autonomousness of danger', it had come in its sleep for safety and care to its mother's pilover—the strong and the weak, the deprived and disgraced, but exalted; the persecuted, drugged and all but helpless John Rowland. With the readiness with which a man who doges while standing will answer the question that wakes him he said, though he stummermed from the now warning effect of the drug, "Myra's child, sir, it's asleep." He picked up the nightgowned little girl, who cared as she waked, and folded his peanut around the cold little body. "Who is Myra?" asked the officer in a bullying tone, in which were also chagrin and disappointment. "You've been asleep yourself." Before Rowland could reply a shout from the crow's nest split the air. "Ice!" yelled the lookout. "See ahead! Iceberg! Right under the lows." The first officer ran ambships, and the captain, who had remained there, sprang to the engine room telegraph, and this time the lever was turned. But in five seconds the bow of the Titan began to lift, and ahead and on either hand could be seen through the fog a field of ice, which arose in an incline to a hundred feet high in her track. The music in the theater sounded, and among the babel of shouts and cries and the deafening noise of steel scraping and crashing over Ice Rowland heard the agonized voice of a woman crying from the bridge steps: "Myra, Myra, where are you? Come back." (To Be Continued.) Kills Husband and Herself. In a fit of jealous rage, Mrs. Luther Jenkins, twenty-three years old, shot and mortally wounded her husband in Hagstowntown, Md. She then committed suicide by shooting. Jenkins died two hours later. Jenkins was thirty years old. He came from Stanley, Va., and had been a pitcher in a minor baseball league, but lately was employed on the Western Michigan railway. —Subscribe to THE PLANET.

Columbia News Agency, 921-D St. N. W. --- U. S. WILL SEND FORCE INTO CUBA TO BE SENT INTO INTERIOR They Will Protect the Interests of Any Foreigners Who Are Menaced. The United States is prepared to send marines and bluejackets to the Interior of Cuba for the protection of American and foreign interests, where no Cuban forces are available for that purpose, even though President Gómez should object to such a course. Just after this statement was made at the state department came the news from Gaimanera, Cuba, that the United States naval transport Prairie that arrived there, bringing 775 men of the United States Marine Corps. It is emphatically held at the state department that American marine and Navy officers are expected to take such measures as use necessary to protect foreign plantations as well as American ones. No foreign government has at yet communicated with the United States on the subject of protecting its interests, and it is understood this government aims to make such action unnecessary. Now that President Taft has replied to the message of protest sent by President Gamez, this government is confident that with a clearer understanding of the purpose of American military forces in Cuban waters, there will be no further objection to the disposition of ships and men for the protection of all interests. Cuba was officially notified as early as last Friday that it was the purpose of the United States to concentrate a naval force in Cuban waters. It is now known that the demonstration was not an impulsive movement but part of a general and carefully prepared plan on the part of the United States to restore order in Cuba first by moral influence if possible, and by intervention in a political sensibility as a last resort. To avoid taking the Cuban government by surprise, the state department last Friday called in Simón Cubillo de Albórgos, charge of the Cuban legation, and it was explained to him that while it was the purpose of this government to send a naval force to Cuban, it was only intended to have such a force in position to protect American lives and interests, only it should become apparent that Cuban government was unable to control the situation.

SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1912 "THE ELKS" AND THE COURTS The Court of Appeal at Albany New York has confirmed a unanimous decision against the Improved Be- vevent and Protective Order of Like a colored Order, restraining it from the further action that name killing that it infirms upon the name of the white Order to such an extent as to unload persons de- cending business with the white ori- zation. It seems that the white Order is unopposed and that the colored Order is not Colored people are making much progress in their efforts to generate fields of organization that it has established the envy of certain white men who never owned Negro and who never knew the value of one. The Northern Supreme Court like a Southern outfit has recognized the fact that the rivalry between the white and colored organizations is keen. Down here, if the ex-slave owners had to settle the question there would be no trouble. They en courage, colored people along any time which will lead to their moral, religious and material improvement and note with interest their actions in imitating them in any legitimate field of fraternal endeavor. They have regarded with equanimity their appropriation of their ritualistic signs and paraphernalia by the initiative "brother in black" laughing good naturedly over many of the queer antics and ladderroom exhibitions in their efforts to infiltrate the white man. Down here there are virtually two civilizations side by side, one is white and the other is colored. The white man encourages the colored hotel man, the colored barber shop, the colored eating house, the colored icecream parlor and in fact establishes of every kind. When Southern white men did not want colored men in their own organizations some of them would Ulysses give information by underground methods and encourage the thankful colored men in the work of imitating the white folks. But all of this is being changed and it is evident that colored men who are influential enough in their own states to merit the approval and favor of the white men will be able to retain their so cieety business and emblems and go doctrine on as heretofore. There is really no rivalry between the white and colored Orders for the season that the membership of the one is barred from membership in the other. It is only a question of courtesy and good feeling and, the better class of white people are willing for the two races to match side by side in the good work and go on heretofore. The Elos of New York are in an embarrassing predestination and it may be that they may be able to find a way out and retain much of what they seem to have already lost. COL. ROOSEVELT AND BROWNS VILLE. Our good friend, Mr. K. H. Hall of Lawrence Massachusetts is such a Roosevelt enthusiast that his vision is in a measure observed in dealing with matters pertaining exclusively to the race with which both of us are identified. He forgets that the editor of this journal is dealing impartially with a very great and grave question affecting the rights of a people whom he essays to represent at the bar of public opinion. All of our importance upon this subject so far a they relate to an expression of opinion in the matter have been based upon the statements of the distinguished statement and the evidence added at hearings in these cases. We asserted that white troops had been guilty of conduct a waste of law, because, but there had never been any record to show that such drastic punishment had ever been met to them. In this case the innocent had been惩罚ed and infamously punished. We are of the opinion that the whole infamous business was the work of the Negro hater, in the War Department. Mr. Roll speaks about the various investigating committees which upheld the methods of the War Department. To our mind, this reference is unfortunate for all of the investigations bodies carried upon our point of view, that a large proportion of the Dell colored soldiers was not concerned in the shooting up of Brookville, Travis and had no heart in that matter, performance. The most proclaimed of the white writers is passed the number of per cent of the troops to swain. This effort is 143 officers all attributable to the War Department, in particular to General G. H. H. W. A. M. General Ansonworth, Secretary of War William Howard Taft and President Theodore Roosevelt show this. It was an effort to recover the dead body of the late John H. Hunt, who was deceased on March 15, 1939. He was born in New York and died in Boston. He was a lawyer and a physician. He was a lawyer and a physician. He was a lawyer and a physician. They did not do so and the backal was affected. Of course we know that the rights of full citizenship attested to the ordinary individual are not always vested in a soldier that did not autocratic role where the wall of the commanding officer laws. He is not subject to the or ordinary operation of the civil law and therefore is in a larger measure. The Commander in Chief knew that and he took advantage of the knowledge. If he wished to rid the army of a dozen murderers he would have done so by dismissing the battalion and then by barring the suspected parties from reenlistment, but he went farther than this. He virtually took away the honor and reputation of a soldier. He barred all of them from any service in the government. He made it impossible for them to secure retirement or to negate the service and some of the men had seen as much as thirty years of service and their innocent breasts were studded with jewels woken upon many a bloody battlefield. Who can defend this action? Who can put in a plea of justification for this outrage? How was it done? It was the work of the New Hating Democrats of Texas working through the Negro-hating Republicans at Washington. The one had a record of consistency, the other had a record of inconsistency. President Roosevelt and Secretary of War Taft met the Southern senators and congressmen and the work was done. Would Grover Cleveland have done this thing? Would Ulysses S. Grant have done this thing? Would Abraham Lincoln have done this thing? Would the good and lawy Jesus Christ have done this thing? To ask this question is to answer it. Ex-President Roosevelt says he not only did it, but he would do it again. His position is in line perhaps with the old dispensation, the doctrine of "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth," but it is not By LUCIAN B. WATKINS.

O Fatherhood Supreme! The One benign! --- We have the toes of Col. Koover well and in this we prefer him to President Taft. He is outspoken and fourable and we do not have long to wait before we can find out his position upon any question. He may not remain of that opinion long, but he will give you notice when he is about to change. Mr. Taft is like "lay in the hands of the potter." Both of them while preaching great principles are very slow pro- cisions in practicing them when these principles conflict with their purposes or are antagonistic to some thing that they want done. We do not agree with Mr. Hall that any advantage for the colored people rests in the election of the distinguished New Yorker. He is a law unto himself, and for our people are obtained and he is brilliant solitary and he have been weighed the business and are longed want- ing." We are and oversee have him in on them. P. A. Democrat. Chief Executive had taken a poll action, as well as the country would have been allowed by the platform of Republican politicians. We are "very for aloud and sparing not." The leading Republican statesmen have violated not only the platform of the National Republican Party, but the Constitution of the United States. They have rejoined the color line. President Taft has virtually ousted every colored man from every appositive office south of the Mason and Davon line, where they could possibly be ousted. He has recognized what he portray a existing conditions and it is what is called deeply bought peace. They have done from a national standpoint what but few Southern governors up to that time had done from a state standpoint, read the colored man out of his citizenship by executive utterances. --- --- We are opposed to Negro hating Democrats and we condemn Negro hating Republicans. The former can at least lay claim to consistency, while the latter can lay claim to traiterous hypocrisy. High above the political winds of men rules and reigns the omnipotent God. To Him we submit our case and await the result of His decision. Will Roosevelt is not all right on the race question. President Taft is all wrong on the race question and the Democratic leaders of the country have never been right on the race question. This is the dilemma which confronts us and this is the political situation, the like of which has never before been submitted to a down-trodden and oppressed people. Apologists wont do in this country now Mr. Ball. We must face the issue squarely. We must stand squarely upon great principles, regardless of the consequences, either to ourselves or others. God will take care of us. If we will only put our trust in Him. COLORED VOTERS AND ROOSE VELT. The remarks of Col. Theodore Roosevelt at Atlantic City, New Jersey May 24. 1912 are very significant. GOD. cant when considered from any arris- and they indicate that the distin- gished New Yorker fully realizes the extent of the loyal support which he has received from the citizens of color, during this most remarkable contest. The prize dis- patches stated. There are Lone colored voters in Atlantic City, almost one third of the total vote. Age crowd of them, watters and hotel servants, from the black, colony, surrounded the Colo- nell's machine in the street. The Colonel thanked the colored men for their support last Tuesday in Ohio, and incidentally dropped a blit that the colored vote on Tuesday in New jersey would be very acceptable. "I wish to take this opportunity of expressing my thanks to the colored men of Ohio," he said. "They stood by his just as though they had been the Ninth or Tenth Cavalry, and I very deeply appreciate it." This then "stilled the colored folks almost to death." The Colonel had personally recognized their political valor. How shall it be when he be again involved in the White House? It should not be forgotten that civil servant Roosevelt has a chance of remembering the services of the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry before election day and forgetting this same performance after election day. Similar remarks have before won for him enthusiastically support in the Hinstre Státe. We hope though that this itself acknowledg of the value of the colored vote in Ohio and the admitted support of the campaign factor in Maryland and New Jersey will cause him to accord substantial recognition to men of our race and advocate such dedication as will tend to give to us the fundamental rights of citizenship which are now denied. Nevil Reeve pledged to an official politician and a great statesman. He has the courage of his convictions and on the stump he has never had an equal. From the campaign for the nomination will come the canvas for an election and the colored votes of the country will be heard from in no uncertain times before the political war is ended. --- THE OHIO STATE CONVENTION The result of the meeting of the State Republican Convention in Ohio is another evidence of the blundering capacity of the Tatt managers against the shrewd political maneuvering of this primum of politicians. By a close vote six delegates at large were elected for President Tatt. This was done in the face of the fact that on the presidential primary vote held in that State ex President Roosevelt won by a plurality of thirty thousand. Certain it is that he was entitled to the delegates at large. When Massachusetts elected eight Roosevelt delegates and the State went for President Taft by a small plurality, Col. Roosevelt renounced his right, title and interest to those delegates. Now in Ohio, a similar condition prevails and President Taft is silent. This is proof positive of what Col. Roosevelt has charged, namely, that President Taft is ready and willing to accept delegates from any quarter without regard to their mode or method of election. The result in Ohio will prove to be a veritable boomerang. From a political stand point, it was the crowning blunder of the campaign. Col. Roosevelt, has 34 delegates out of 43 in Ohio, even with the six delegates at large given to the distinguished occupant of the White House. The unique spectacle is presented in the majority of the delegates from Col. Roosevelt's State supporting President Taft and the Majority of the delegates from President Taft's State voting for o President Roosevelt. It would seem on the face of these returns, where both of the brilliant statesmen are best known, they are not wanted. Of course, Col. Roosevelt claims, with a show of truth too, that the people of his home State were denied the right to reg RICHMOND HOSPITAL'S CAMPAIGN 406 E.

THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($3,000.00) HAVE ALREADY BEEN SUBSCRIBED THE STRIKE OF THE HOTEL WAITERS. We have noted with much interest the strike of the white hotel waiters in New York and the importation of colored waiters to take their places. We can see no objection to our people doing this provided the jobs given them are of a permanent character and they are fully qualified to perform the service expected of them. Colored men now, have the opportunity of proving their worth. The Northorners of late have had the habit of advertising "exclusively white waiters." In speaking to Mr. R. N. Smith, head waiter of the Hotel at Hot Springs, Va., about the matter he said that it was more a "jad" than anything else. He employs colored waiters and their service is emphatically satisfactory. We see now that he was called upon to furnish help for the New York hotel of that corporation. He has always a list of waiters booked for the Homestead. As a result colored men are now "offlacelating" in some of the leading hotels in New York and it is hoped that they may remain there. The Northerner has never been able to understand, the Southern white man. While he abuses and berates the colored man in one instance he holds to him in all others, he prefers the colored laborer under all circumstances and in the face of all conditions. It is because he can get more work out of him. He is docile and obedient to the Southern white man, although he may be a "holy terror" to his own people. Colored men have been trained in long forbearance. They do not strike unless they are persuaded so to do by some designing white man. These facts have led all of the great corporations in the South to prefer colored labor. A white man can get more labor out of a colored man than he can get out of a white one. The colored servant, when trained is polite and obliquely, of a joyous nature and not given to complaint, where the boss can hear it. For this reason he is preferred. Just as it is a recognized fact and a stereotyped saying that "a Negro and a mule go together, if you want much work done," go it is that a Southerner and a Negro go together. If you wish to eliminate all danger of strikes and the consequent inconveniences. Congressman and Reporter Fight.

She was born at Lafayette, Conn. A jury before Justice Sudder in the supreme court in Brooklyn, N.

Although charged with the death of nine infants, Miss Ankers was only indicted for the deaths of two of them—Richard Gomersan, the six month-old son of an insane mother of whose murder she was acquitted, and Rachel Liebowitz, two months old Bail in the latter case was fixed at $2000 after her acquittal.

While undergoing builder's trials off the coast of Maine, near the entrance to Penobscott bay, the new dreadnought Arkansas scraped her bottom and suffered considerable damage. A dispatch to this effect was received at the navy department from Captain S. A Fletcher, president of the naval board of inspection and survey, who is on board the Arkansas. The Arkansas is now floating free, while examinations are being made of her, bottom to see whether the trials can be continued. Examinations already made reveal that eight compartments are involved in the damage, which is on the port side. The outside plating of the bottom has been showed up about nine inches and the framing of the double bottom considerably damaged. A few small leaks have been discovered in the seams and butts. Secretary Meyer has asked Captain Fletcher to send further details of the condition of the Arkansas as soon as practicable. The Arkansas is still in the hands of the builders, the New York Shipbuilding company, of Camden, N. J. Going fifty miles an hour, Alvin C.

Leaving the cow with the cow allows it to get its first milk in the maturing way, and the locking the cow gives it attention, the stimulation of the life in the young calf. If the cow remains longer, the harder to reach it to drink and the cow is up to first move for her baby. The cow can neither see nor bear the calves. Sometimes the under becomes hard and wet and bred. Bath thoroughly with not water, wipe dry and wash with the oxygen treatment has proved very satisfactory in cases of swollen udder or garment.

The cow's food before the friemont should be of an uncultured a nature as possible. The grain ration should be limited. (Corn silage or pulped roots with brain may be given in winter, and rather short pusture is summer to give better the humidity excretion. For several days before the call it is expected.) The cow should be kept in a box. Ing. Some stint the food, fearing milk fever. This is not to be dreaded if the cow is properly handled after calving. The main cause for this frequent fatal trouble is milking the cow out clean soon after calving. Only a little milk should be drawn at a time, and this should be done several times a day for the first day or two. This is as the calf would take it and is following new tunes a course. One of the best dairies men I know never touches a cow for the first twenty-four hours no matter how distended her udder, but just leaves the calf with her. If milk fever a rest from milking of from six to eight weeks in order to produce a vigorous calf and do better during her next milking period. If persistent in keeping up her milk flow, leaving a little milk in the udder and toward the first, milkkiln but once a day will usually cause bet to become dry. Cure must be taken when drying up a cow in this manner to avoid the udder cak. As good pointers is of great value in the human race so we look for and have every reason to expect cows to be better cows which have come from a long line of heavy milking ancestors. It is within the control of the breeder of the calf to see that both herre and dam can come of good milking stock. Bespecially must the head of the herd be a pure breed, healthy animal from a good strain of milk producing stock.

A better should reach this amount in her second incubation period. This is not a high standard, but if put into force throughout the country it would mean that three quarters of the cow would be docured. The average yearly yield per cow is not over 4,000 pounds of milk. With such an average, how many very poor ones there must be? What about you?

Wilbur Wright, elder of the two Wright brothers, who made America famous throughout the world as the planners in the science of aviation died in Boston, O., in his forty sixth year. His death, due to typhoid fever came after the distinguished patien- had made a gallant fight for his life. Mr. Wright had been lingering on the border for many days, and thou- his condition from time to time gave some hopes to members of his family the attending physicians, Drs D B Conklin and Leaf Spittler, mainten- nance that he could not recover. When the patient succumbed to the fever that had been racking his body for days and nights he was surrounded by the members of his family which included his aged father, Husband Milton Wright, Miss Katherine Wright, his sister, Orrville, his brother, the co-owner of the aeroplane Remtin Wright and Louth Wraith also brother. Mr Wright was treated with typhoid fever on Nov. 4, when a bus trip to the airport that day he turned to a hospital from Jouglas and came to the hospital the family was stitched.

There for several years, the Writer brothers had been experimenting with gliders, a crop between a box box and an aeroplane, minus the engine. They found they could remain in the air for seconds at a time. Then they built a glider with an engine attach and tried it with varying success in short flight.

The New York World says. The long-term that has brought about the consolidation of John Rockefeller as a writer to tell the present stories between Stanley Oil and the famous subsidiary companies, supposedly disassociated from it under the judgment of the United States supreme court, has involved also a quiet inquiry into the stock holdings and other forms of wealth. Mr. Rockefeller "From all the data available, an one of the associate counsel in the inquiry said the available data were fairly exhaustive, the conclusion has been reached that John D. Rockefeller is now worth $900,000,000. "For the purpose of an average the Rockefeller income may be estimated at $600,000 a year, or $500,000 a month, or $1,153,840.15 week, or $161,725.31 a day, or $8,000 an hour, or $114 40 a minute, or $1 a second.

I have in my possession a prescription for nervous debility, lack of vigor, weakened manhood, failing memory and lame back, brought on by excesses, unnatural drains, or the follicles of youth, that has cured so many worn and nervous men right in their own homes—without any additional help or medicine—that I think every man who wishes to regain his manly power and virility, quickly and quietly, should have a copy. So I have determined to send a copy of the prescription, free of charge, in a plain ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write me for it. This prescription comes from a physician who has made a special study of men and I am convinced it is the surgest-acting combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor failure ever put together. I think I owe it to my fellow man to send them a copy in confidence so that any man anywhere who is weak and discouraged with repeated failures may stop drugging himself with harmful patent medicines, secure what I believe is the quickest-acting restorative, upbuilding, SPOT-TOUCH ING Remedy ever devised and so cure himself at home quietly and quickly. Just drop me a line like this: DR. A. E. ROBINSON. 3895 Luck Building, Detroit Mich., and I will send you a copy of this splendid recipe in a plain ordinary envelope, free-of-charge. A great many doctors would charge $3.00 to $5.00 for merely writing out a prescription like this—but I send it entirely free. FARMVILLE (VA) NEWS Farmville, Va. June 3. Mr. Ram bler is still in town looking into the social condition of the young people We learn that he was at the Opera House on Friday night to witness the exhibition "Cinderella In Flower land." Little Miss Elizabeth Jordan playing the title role, given by Mrs. Delmo Lucas Paige for the benefit of First Baptist Church. Upon a whole be thinks it was a grand affair and that much praise should be given to Mrs. Paige. $40.25 was presented to the Church. Mr. Rambler does not fail to note everything that tends to lower the moral standard of the people. In olden days the young men and women coming from the various schools of learning were looked upon as leaders in true morals and spiritual uplift of the people. In those days when our institutions were controlled by consecrated Christian men and women we had sent to us a large number of teachers who were examples in every community morally and spiritually. The community was proud of such infusion of intellect and the lifting of the moral standard while the church delighted to refer to the Christian influence of those who came to present the cause of Christianity. If we are to judge the controllers of many of our institutions of today by many of those sent out we are afraid that the right impressions are not made during their stay there. Those coming from these institutions who fail to attend Sunday School and Church, fail to take an active part in things that are elevating the people but rather join hands with the amusements of today in opposition to the Christian Church, always found upon the public hall room floor, are unit subjects for leaders and teachers of the people. The chief idea should be to help others, thereby better the condition of the people. If this is not the paramount object in the life of the young men and women who want to be leaders in this day their life to begin with is a failure. Those who are given to drunkenness, gambling frequenting the pub the ballroom floor and all immoral conduct are not fit subjects to be leaders in chagging praise to God in the Christian Church. We are thankful to say there is a growing sentiment here in the Church against such pretenacious leaders. Miss Emzy O. Poe of Chattanooga, Tenn., office secretary of Ingle side Seminary and Hattie R.
