Noted Baptist Divine delivers possible address—A good word for Tuft—Richmond educator in the Metropolitan—General News. (Alten's National News Bureau, 252 West 53rd street.) Rev. Simon S. P. Drew, pastor of the Cosmopolitan Baptist Church of Washington, D. C. and National Organizer of the Consolidated Republican and Independent political club is in the Metropolis making preparation for a national convention of the organization to be held here September 18th to 20th at the Mt. Gilead Baptist Church in East 132d St. The purpose of the meeting will be to get a national expression from the men of the race to who in them will be a worthy candidate to support, and to discuss vital matters pertaining to the political and civil welfare of the Negro in this country. Some of the subjects discussed will be the restoration of Companies B, C & D 26th Inf. to the army, the urging of Negroes to run for Congress, and the denunciation of any unjust discrimination of the race in this country. The convention will be free from any partisanism, but Republican and Democrat will meet on a common level, and take up the issues as they face the race. One of the subjects that will receive much attention from the convention will be the urging of Negroes to run for Congress, especially in districts where a large Negro constituency reside. During the session Taft, Wilson and Roosevelt will make addresses and set before the country just where they stand on the Negro question. The convention will be one of the most notable gatherings of Negroes ever held in this country, and will be, epoch making in the political and civil welfare of the race in this country. Fully 2000 delegates representing all political faiths, and from every section of the Nation promise to be present. Some of the most prominent men in the life of the country will be present and make defenses. The appearance of Taft, Wilson and Roosevelt before the convention will be one of the most interesting features of the convention. Prominent politicians in the Metro polls are looking forward to the convention with considerable interest, and will be ready to contribute their share to the success of the convention. Rev. Drew, who will be large the moving spirit in the working up of the convention; is one of the best known men of the race. Few men wield greater influence in the city of Washington than Rev. Drew. He is personally known to most of the senators in Washington and enjoys the friendship of President Taft. He is a notable figure in the Nation's capital and figures largely as a preacher. He has been the security for his race. He is the founder of the St. Stephen Baptist Church in New York and the Cosmopolitan Baptist Church in Washington. It is one of the largest churches in the country and has a membership of 2000. The Mount Bethel Baptist Convention, one of the largest, of the Baptist Conventions will meet in the Cosmopolitan Baptist Church from August 26th to 28th. President Taff will address one session.

C., came to a close Friday evening July 19th with a great banquet, over two hundred people being seated at the table, which was followed by a most unique and interesting programme, consisting of elocutionary and musical numbers which were higher than the ordinary. In all an evening not to be forgotten was had. The attendance this year was unusually large surpassing all other years, but the high scholastic stand reached this year at this school marks a turning point for Summer School work in the South for artistic and pedagogical attainments and class work presentations. The work is graded into a four year Summer School course, upon the completion of which will receive the diploma of the college. The addresses this year were by some of the most prominent educators and speakers in the country. Dr. W. S. Rankina, Secretary of the State Board of Health, delivered a series of four lectures on different health topics, each of which was largely attended and interesting. Prof. R. D. W. Cunner, Secretary of the State-Historical Commission, also delivered a very brilliant and instructive lecture using as his subject Charles B. Aycock as an Educational Governor. Among the other prominent speakers were Hon. J. Y. Joyner, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Hon. C. H. Mochek, Secretary of cational Campaign Commissar Prof. M. C. S. Noble, University of North Carolina, Rev. H. H. Proctor, Atlanta Ga., and Dr. Charles H. Bauer, Sr. Augustines School, Raleigh, N. C. All lectures were designed especially for the educational and social benefit of those attending the Summer School. The large attendance at each lecture attested their value and popularity. The Summer School Faculty was the strongest the school has ever had. Aside from the regular school instructors the president was fortunate in securing such prominent instructors as Dr. O. Faduma, Principal of the Peabody Academy, Prof. T. R. Fount, Supt. Gullford County School;s: Dr. D. J. Jordon. Ex-President of Kittrell College: Prof. F. M. Kennedy, President, Slater S. Normal School; Prof. P. W. Moore, President, Franklin School; Prof. N. Norman School; Dr. E. E. Smith, President State Normal School; Prof. J. J. Wheeler of the Baltimore High School; Prof. J. H. Branch of the Raleigh Graded Schools; and others of like prominence. President James B. Dudley has the happy faculty of calling about him in his school work men of educational standing who are potent factors in the building up of the race and who understand how to imbate into their students those fundamental principles which make for the best citizenship. The Fall Term of the regular school begins the first of September. Already an unusually large number of applications have been received from young men who are anxious to become skilled mechanics and trained farmers. The excellent equipment of this school is designed to give the best training possible with the least amount of cost to energetic young men. Knights of Pythias Enjoy Themselves—Grand Chancellor There.

News From South Carolina Florence, S. C., July 28, 1912. "Qite often the expression, 'If the weather is favorable' is heard in reference to some future action. There are many things to be in this world but will never be a success unless the weather lends a helping hand. Church workers desire that every sabbath be bright and fair, while the farmer prays for rain on certain days. On Friday morning, July 26, at a very early hour there were evidences of a fair day. During the night there was a soft breeze blowing from the South, enabling the toller to enjoy the sweet repose of a night rest. No rain had fallen for several days and the drooping plants had begun to beg for moisture. Long before the sun had disappeared in he occident the sparkling peared in the occident the sparkling leaf and flower and ere long before the rays of a new day were seen in the orient one would have thought that a copious shower had fallen from above. It was Friday morning, July 26th, an ideal day for picnic' reception, exposition and public gatherings. An invitation had been extended to the public to shake hands in Cheraw on this day. The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company offered exceeding low rates to the public. At a very early hour we were on our way to the post office in search for mail. From the office we went to railroad station and hurriedly purchased our ticket. We found a train of 12 cars ready and waiting. With our "publications" we boarded the third car in the rear. Just then looking out of the window we saw Meenan. H. H. Parker, Yardmaster and H. H. Coles, trainmaster, having the sniffing "touch" put on the extra from Florence to Cheraw, S. C. via Coast Line. At 8 o'clock Capt. H. H. Parker, Yard Master with pencil and tablet in hand waved to Conductor W. R. Johnson that the time for engine No. 335 carrying the extra train to Cheraw had arrived to commence its journey to Cheraw. Engineer Coxe and Fireman Meadora were ready and at once the sound of steam and ringing of the bell were heard and the monster from horse with its rile started on its journey out of Cheraw. In a few minutes the extra had disappeared "beyond the hill." The first stop was at Palmetto. S. 15. Several passengers were taken up here. The next stop was at Darlington. S. 35. The platform was literally covered with people. And after stopping at the water tank at the crossing our train "struck bodily out to sea." In just a short while we found ourselves at Floyd's. 3:20. About one mile to distance was seen an object on the railroad to the left of the main line. It proved to be the Hartsville extra consisting of four loaded cars. After coupling on two of these cars and taking on other passengers we left for Doveville, S. C., arriving there at 9:36. A very large crowd awaited the arrival of the extra. The twelve cars were being rapidly filled and when we left for Society Hill at 9:38 there was little room to spare. At 9:50 we arrived at Gandy's crossing. The next stop was at Society Hill reaching there at 10:05. On glancing over the crowd at the station would readily conclude that there was nothing in sight but a break down. But the "new corners" were "tucked" in and once more the extra was seen leaping westward. We reached Cheraw at 10:55. The crowd at once made their way to the center of the town where there were enough people and some to spare. We spent the day pleasantly in the town of Cheraw, shaking hands with our old friends and doing business. We met Measur J. E. S. Williams, Covington Dean, Rev. D. W. Williams. The town of Cheraw has made con additionible improvement since 1906, when we received several new brick buildings and other signs of material progress. Cheraw is situated on the great Pee Dee River in Chesterfield county. On both sides of the railroad from Florence to Cheraw as far as could be seen, fertile fields of corn, cotton, peas, potatoes, tobacco and millet met the sight of vision. When I was a boy the farmers in this part of the State know little about raising corn to what they know now. Twenty bushels to the acre was supposed to be an excellent yield but now many farmers gather from 100 to 150 bushels per acre. The idea is to plant deep, and stunt the stalk, thereby increasing the quantity of corn yield. Roy, and Mr. Charles F. Gandy, of Charleston, S. C. passed through the city recently carote for Society Hill the home of Mr. Gandy. Liliana K. Gandy, their baby having been quite ill it was thought that a change of climate might prove beneficial, but on Wednesday morning, 164th hall. it died at the home of Mrs. Brock, its grandmother. We extend to the bereaved family our deepest sympathy in the loss of their dear little one, Lillian K. Gandy. Rev. and Mrs. Gandy were blessed with three little ones. Master Charles F. Gandy, Alma Gandy and Lillian K. Gandy. Rev Gandy is pastor of Central Baptist Church Charleston, S. C. and Mrs. Gandy was a Miss Brock of Society Hill. one of the finest young women of purse state. She is blessed to have a Christian helper for a husband and they live happily together in Charleston, S. C. Mrs. Gordon B. Hancock of Newberry is visiting her parents at Society Hill. Mr. Joe Dickerson, Misses Mary & Ellen Dickerson are to return to the State College this Fall and resume their studies, but any young friend, visiting Society, Hill will do well to call and see them. No one knows better how to trent "us" than they do. Prof. Wilkerson, President of the State College at Orangeburg and G. Pogues of Benedict College visited Society Hill recently, stopping at Miss Ellen Dickerson's parents' home. On Sunday, July 28th inst. we spoke at Central School House. Rev. E.Kelley accompanied us. On our return we stopped at the Wallace's near town. The girls are looking one NEWS FROM FARMVILLE. Farmville, Va., July 31.—A brilliant wedding took place last week few miles from town. Mr. Jose Bolden and Miss Lillian West were the contracting parties. Miss West is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Natanahal West, who are successful farmers owning the plantation upon which they reside. Mrs. Sarah McDaniel Robinson was bridesmaid, assisted by Miss Bolden. Dr. J. A. Baker, best man was asked by Mr. Jackson Grace, the ceremonian, who formed by Rev. R. G. Adama. A large number from town and country attended the wedding. There seems to have been no end to fried chicken and the best of country ham. The particles of atmosphere were put in motion the other day and a roused the admiration of the citizens of this community when the news reached here that a daughter of one of the wealthy colored citizens of our town had married a white gentleman. "Mr. Rambler" said he is still taking notes, looking after the moral status of our people. It was thought at one time the statue of Virginia; at another the statue of Washington; brought to play its part, but owing to the fact they were married in Washington, D. C., the heavy hand of the law was stayed. It was soon found out that the laws of Virginia would not even allow them to live together in the State. The contracting parties and their friends seem to decide the best thing for them was to seek new quarters in a state where they would not be debarred by the law in living together. They left last week. This is an object lesson from which we can learn many things and while theorizing reach a conclusion based upon undisputed facts. There is a great moral question confronting the people of this country, relative to the intermarriage of the races and it is the opinion of many thousands that the statute law, unless it is in accord with Divine law, is not the proper law to regulate this matter. Mrs. Dr. Cooper of Roanoke Va. is visiting Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Palge of Race Street. Annie Payne Clark of Richmond, Va. is visiting Mr. and Mrs. Vaughn of Main Street. While here Mrs. Clark will give one of her lite rary entertainments for the benefit of the Sowing Circle of the A. M. E. Church. Mrs. Mattie Bullock McDaniel is home visiting parents. Rev. P. M. Robinson preached at the West End Mission at 3 P. M. for Rev. C. H. McDaniel. Rev. Adams' officers and congregation asisted in ordaining a deacon for the Zion Baptist Church. The First Baptist Sunday School will have their picnic upon the Bolden School grounds, eight miles from town. Quite a large number are expected and a good time is anticipated. Mrs. Gusie Robinson of South St. lost by death her infant babe which was buried from the home. Revs. R. J. Butt and R. G. Adams officiated.

PRICE, FIVE CENTS Champion Wants $30.000 (N. Y. Journal, July 26, 1912.) If Billy Gibson, manager of the Garden Athletic Club, will lay $30, 000 in Jack Johnson's lap the champion will mingle with our own colored brusser, Joe Jeannette, here on Labor Day. The promoter and Johnson had a little gag fist over the long distance phone yesterday afternoon. "Artha chirping from the Windy City end. "What will your price be for a ten round fight with Joe Jeannette?" Gibson asked. "Thirty thousand dollars. Mr. Gibson," came the reply. "That is a little too steep for me, but if you make it $20,000 you are on. No." said Johnson, "I must have my price, or otherwise I will accept the offer of Mr. McIntosh for three flights in Australia. I would not waste time stopping here for a smaller amount and then you have pleaded a tough man for me. Manager Gibson asked for a little time to figure the big demand as he thought the amount was a bit too much for the battle, and did not want the club to go in a hole after having a fairly successful season. During the conversation Johnson asked Gibson how Al Palser would do for a drawing card. Gibson told the champion that Palser was not seasoned enough to be given a chance, and the public would not look upon the match as anything like an even thing. It is generally understood that Boxing Commissioner O'Neill is opposed to a white man fighting Johnson here in New York fearing that it would put the man in a bad mood. Dan McKettrick, manager of Jeanette, and Billy Gibson will leave for Chicago today where they will hold a conference with Johnson and possibly a compromise will be made, and Gibson will come home with the training articles. If he is successful the bat will take place on Labor Day, Monday, September 9. Johnson and Jeanette have battled seven times. The best the latter could do on these occasions was to get a ten-round draw with Johnson when they boxed at Portland. Matine. In one of their Philadelphia boutts Johnson lost on a foul in the second round. Jeanette claiming that Johnson hit low while the men were at close quarters. Little chance is conceded Jeanette in a short bout with the champion, even though Johnson, is not quite as fast as he was when the men fought their other engagements. Jeanette is not wonderful endurance and ability to assimilate hard punishment would give him a chance, but as ten rounds would be the limit here in New York many close students of the game give Jeanette little chance of coping first money.

It is a summary of a detailed-statement going carefully into all of the cases, a statement so thorough that it takes up 150 pages of printed matter. This statement is signed by Mr. Victor Rosewater, chairman of the former Republican national committee; by Mr. J. H. Devine of Colorado, chairman of the committee on credentials of the Republican national convention, and by Mr. Charles D. Hille, chairman of the present Republican national committee. The total number of delegates summoned to the convention under its call was 1,073, with 540 necessary to a choice. Mr. Taft had 561 votes on the first and only ballot and was declared the nominee. There were instituted against 238 of the delegates regularly elected for Taft contents on behalf of Roosevelt. These contests were easily instigated not for the purpose of really securing seats in the convention, not for the purpose of adducing evidence which would lead any respectable court to entertain the contests, but for the purpose of decliving the public into the belief that Mr. Roosevelt had more votes than he really had, as the conventions and primaries were in progress for the selection of delegates. This is not only a necessary inference from the character of the contests, but it was boldly avowed by the chief editor of the newspapers owned by Mr. Munsey, who has been Mr. Roosevelt's chief financial and newspaper supporter. The 238 contests were reduced by abandonment to seventy-four. The very fact of these 104 privilious contests itself reflects upon the genuineness and validity of the remainder. The seventy-four delegates include six at large from Arkansas, four at large from Kentucky, four at large from Indiana, six at large from Michigan, eight at large from Texas and eight at large from Washington, and also two district delegates each from the Ninth Alabama, the Fifth Arkansas, the Thirteenth Indiana, the Seventh, Eighth, Eighth and Eleventh Kentucky; the Third Oklahoma, the Second Tennessee and from each of nine districts, the First, Second, Fourth, Fifth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth and Fourteenth of Texas. Arizona In the Arizona convention there were ninety-three votes. All the delegates—six in number—were to be selected at large. The counties were entitled to select their delegates through their county committee or by primary. In one county, Marticopa, a majority of the committee decided to select its delegates and a minority to have a primary. In other counties there were some, contests, and the attae committee, following the usage of the national committee, gave a hearing to all contestants in order to make up the temporary roll. There was a clear majority of the Taft delegates among the uncontested delegates. The committee made up the temporary roll and then there was a holt, sixty-four remaining in the hall and twenty-five withdrawing therefrom. The case of the Taft majority was so clear that it is difficult to understand why a contest was made. Indiana. In Indiana the four Taft delegates at large were elected in a state convention to which Marion county, in which Indianapolis is situate, was entitled to 125 votes. A primary was held in Indianapolis, at which Taft polled 6,000 and Roosevelt 1,400 votes. This gave Taft 106 delegates in the state convention from Marion county, and if they were properly seated the control of the convention by a large majority was conceded to Taft. Attempt was made to impeach the returns from Marion county by charges of fraud and repeating. These charges were of a general character, without specification except as to one ward out of fifteen wards, and then the impeaching witness admitted he could not claim fraud enough to change the result in that ward. The national committee, upon which there were fifteen anti-Taft men, rejected the Roosevelt contestants and gave the Taft delegates their votes by a unanimous vote. Senator Bornhold and Mr. Prank B. Kellogg, both Roosevelt men, made speeches in explaining the votes in which they said that the case turned wholly on the Marion county primary, and as there was no evidence to impeach the result certified, the title of The Tault delegates was clear. This is the convention where proceedings called forth such loud charges of theft and fraud from Mr. Roosevelt. Kentucky. In Kentucky a contest was filed against only three of the four delegates at large. The fourth Taft delegate's seat was uncontested. The three contestants admitted they were not elected by the convention which sent the Taft delegates or by any other. They only contended that if the Roosevelt force had had a majority they would have been elected. There were 2,356 delegates summoned to the convention by its call. There were 449 of those whose seats were contested. If all of these had been conceded to Roosevelt it would have made the Roosevelt vote 267 votes less than a majority. The appeal to the committee on credentials from the decision of the national committee was abandoned, as it ought to have been. Michigan In Michigan the state convention had in it about 1,200 delegates. There were only two counties in dispute or contest. One was Wayne county, in which Detroit is situated, and the other was Calhoun county. The evidence left no doubt that the Taft men carried by a very large majority Wayne county, but it was immaterial whether this was true or not, because, leaving out both Wayne county and Calhoun county, the only counties in contest, the Taft delegates outnumbered by several hundred the Roosevelt delegates, and they had a clear majority out of the total number of votes that should have been in the convention. The contest was so weak to hardly merit recital. Texas In Texas there were 249 counties, or which four have no county government. The 245 counties under the call of the convention were allowed to have something over 1,000 delegates, representing them, who were given authority to cast 248 votes. Of the 245 counties there were ninety-nine counties in which the total Republican vote was but 2,000, in fourteen of which there were no Republican voters, in twenty-seven of which there were less than ten each and in none of which was there any Republican organization and in none of which had a primary or convention been held. It was shown that Colonel Occlil Lyon, to whom had been assigned as referee the disposition of the patronage of the national Republican administration for ten years in the state, had been in the habit of controlling the Republican state convention by securing from two federal officials in each of these ninety-nine counties a certificate granting a proxy to Colonel Lyon or a friend of his to represent the county or as if regularly conferred by a Republican county organization. The national committee and the committee on credentials and the convention after the fulfilment investigation decided that these ninety-nine counties in which the Republican vote was so small and in which there was no Republican party, no convention, no primary, no organization, was not the proper source for a proxy to give a vote equal to that to be cast by the other 146 counties in which there was a Republican organization and in which primaries or conventions were held. The two committees therefore held such ninety-nine proxies to be illegal and not the basis of proper representation. The two tribunals who heard the case decided that they should deduct the ninety-nine votes from the total of 245 and give the representation to those who controlled the majority of the remainder. The remainder was 152 votes, and out of that the Taft men had carried eighty-nine counties, having ninety votes. This gave to the Taft men a clear majority in the state convention and with it eight delegates at large. WASHINGTON. The contest in Washington turned on the question whether the Taft delegates appointed by the county committee in King county, in which Seattle is situated, were duly elected to the convention or whether a primary which was subsequently held and at which Roosevelt delegates were elected, was properly called; so that its result was legal. Under the law the county committee had the power to decide whether it would select the delegates directly or should call a primary. In some counties of the state one course was pursued and in other counties the other. In King county the committee consisted of 220 men, the majority of whom were for Taft, and that majority, acting through its executive committee, selected the Taft delegates to the state convention. Mean time the city council of Seattle had redistricted the city. It before had, 220 precincts. Now substantially the same territory was divided up into 381 precincts. The chairman of the county committee was a Roosevelt man. He had been given authority by general resolution to fill vacancies occurring in the committee. A general meeting of the committee had been held after the city council had directed the redistricting of the city, in which it was resolved, the chairman not dissenting that representatives could not be selected to fill the 381 new prescincts until an election was held in September 1912. Thereafter and in spite of this conclusion the chairman assumed the right by his appointment to add to the existing committee 131 prescinct committees, and with these voting in the committee it is claimed that a primary was ordered. There was no much confusion in the meeting that this is doubtful. However, the fact is that the Taft men protested against any action by a committee so constituted on the ground that the chairman had no authority to appoint the 131 new committees. They refused to take part in the primary, and so did the La Follette men. The newspapers reported the number of votes in the primary to be something over 3,000. The Roosevelt committee showed by affidavit the number to be 100 out of a usual total Republican vote of 75,000. The action of the chairman of the committee in attempting to add 121 prescinct men to the old committee was, of course, beyond his power.

It could not in the nature of things apply to a change from the old system to a complete new system of prescripts created by the city council, because if they were to be filled the entire number of 331 new prescripts different from the old must be filled. One system could not be made into the other by a mere additional appointment of 131 committee men. No lawyer will say that such action by the committee thus constituted was legal. Therefore the action which the lawful committee of 250 took in electing Taft delegates who made a majority in the state convention was the only one which could be recognised as valid. CONTESTED DISTRICT DELEGATES Ninth District The Ninth Alabama contest turned on the question whether the chairman of a district committee had power to fill vacancies, whether a committeeman who had had his resignation to take effect only in case he was not present, being present; should be prevented from acting as committeeman, and, third, on the identity of another committeeman. The written resolution under which the right of the chairman to appoint to vacancies was claimed showed on its face that the specific authority was written in its different writing and different colored pencil between the lines. A number of affidavits were filed by committeemen who were present when the resolution was passed to show that the resolution contained no such authority. This gave rise to a question of fact upon which a very large majority of both the national committee and the committee on credentials held that the lead pencil insertion was a forgery, that the chairman did not have the authority therefore to appoint to the vacancies, and therefore the action of his committee was not valid. This made it necessary to reject the contentants. The committee decided the two other issues of fact before them in favor of the Taft contention, although the first decision was conclusive. Fifth District In the Fifth Arkansas the question was one of the identity of one faction or the other as the Republican party. This convention followed the example of the convention of 1908 in holding that what was known as the Redding faction was not the Republican party, that it was a defunct organization and had only acquired life at the end of each four years for the purpose of using it in the national convention. The contestants were therefore rejected. It was shown that the other or Taft had been in active existence as the Republican party, had nominated a local ticket and had run a congressman. CALIFORNIA Fourth District The Fourth California presented this question: Under the state law the delegation, two from each district, was elected on a general ticket, in a group of twenty-six. Each delegate might either express bias presidential preference or agree to vote for the presidential candidate receiving the highest number in the state. In the Fourth district the two candidates from that district on the Taft ticket expressed a preference for Taft, but did not agree to vote for the candidates having the highest state vote. These Taft delegates in the Fourth district received a majority of 200 more than the Roosevelt delegates in that district. The national call forade any law or the acceptance of any law which presented the election of delegates by districts. In other words, the call of the national concession was at variance with the state law. The state law sought to enforce the state unit rule and required the whole twenty-six delegates to be voted for all over the state, assigning two to each district on the ticket to abide the state wide election, while the Republican national convention has insisted upon the unit of the district since 1890. That has been the party law. This convention recognized the party law and hold it to be more binding than that of the state law and allowed the two delegates who had been elected in the Fourth district to be larger than their two opponents assigned to that district, to possess delegates in the convention. This was clearly lawful. For a state has no power to limit or control the basis of representation of a voluntary national party in a national convention. The fact that President Taft by telegram approved all the twenty-six delegates as representing him is said to be an estoppel against his claiming the election of two of those delegates in their Fourth district. What is there inconsistent in his approving the candidacy of all his delegates and the election of two of them? Why should he be thus estopped to claim that part of the law was inoperative because in conflict with the call of the convention? INDIANA Thirteenth District. In the Thirteenth Indiana there, was no question about the victory of the Taft men, because the temporary chairman representing the Taft side was conceded to have elected by one-half a vote more than the Roosevelt candidate. This one-half vote extended through the Hototous proceedings, and although it was not as wide as a barn door it was enough. The chairman put the question as to effecting the Taft delegates, and after continuous object-laiting three hours declared the vote carried. The Roosevelt men thus prevented a roll call and then boiled. KENTUCKY. In the Seventh Kentucky district the total vote of the convention was 155. There were contests from four counties, involving ninety-five votes. According to the rules of the party in Kentucky, where two seats of credentials are presented those delegates whose credentials are approved by the county chairman are entitled to participate in the temporary organisation. On the temporary roll the Taft chairman was elected by ninety-eight votes and forty-seven votes were cast for the Roosevelt candidate. The committee on credentials was then appointed, consisting of one member named by each county delegation. The majority report of the committee was adopted unanimously by the convention, no delegation whose seats were contested being permitted to vote on its own case. As soon as the majority report of the credentials committee had been adopted, the Roosevelt adherents bottled. There was not the slightest reason for sustaining the content for Roosevelt delegates. Eighth District The Eighth Kentucky district was composed of ten counties having ten votes, of which eighty two were necessary to a choice. There was no contest in five of the counties, and although the Roosevelt men claimed that there was one in Spencer county no contest was presented against the seating of the regularly elected Taft delegates from that county. This gave the Taft delegates eighty-four votes, or two more than were necessary for a choice. In other words, assuming that the Roosevelt men were entitled to all the delegates from the counties in which they tied contests in the district convention there remained a clear majority of uncontested delegates who voted for the Taft delegates to Chicago. In the Third Oklahoma district the question of the validity of the seats of the delegates turned on the constitution of the congressional committee which was made up of twelve Taft men and seven Roosevelt men. The chairman, Cochran, was a Roosevelt man and attempted to prevent the majority of the committee from taking action. The chairman was removed and another substituted, and thereupon the convention was duly called to order on the temporary roll prepared by the congressional committee, which was made the permanent roll, and the two Taft delegates to Chicago were duly selected. Every county in the district had its representation and vote in the regular convention, and no person properly accredited as a delegate was excluded or debarred from participating in its proceedings. Cochran and his followers bolted after his disposition. Assuming that all the committee who went out with him had the right to act on the committee. It left the committee standing twelve for Taft and seven for Roosevelt, so it was simply a question whether a majority of the committee had the right to control its action or a minority. The bolting convention which Cochran held was not attended by a majority of the duly elected delegates to the convention. It did not have the credentials from the various counties, and the membership was largely made up of bystanders. who has, not been duly accredited by any county in the district. Its action was entirely, without authority. In the Second Tennessee district there were fifty nine delegates untested out of a possible total of 108 in the convention. There were forty nine contested. The Roosevelt contestants in the forty nine refused to abide the decision of the committee on candidates and withdrew, leaving fifty nine untested delegates. These fifty nine delegates, part of whom were Roosevelt men, remained in the convention, appointed the proper committees, settled contents and proceeded to select Taft delegates. There can be no question about the validity therefore of their title. TEXAS. First District The only remaining districts are the nine districts from Texas. Of these the First district was composed of eleven counties, each county having one vote except Cass county, which had two. The executive committee, composed of one representative from each county, made up the temporary roll, and in the contests died from two counties sent both delegates with one-half vote each. The convention elected the two Taft delegates, giving them ten and one-quarter votes. Each county was represented in this vote. A minority representing one and three-quarter votes bolted the regular convention and held a rump meeting. The national committee by unanimous vote decided the content in favor of the Taft delegate. Second District In the Second Texas district there were fourteen counties. Two counties were found not to have held conventions and one county to have no delegate present. The convention was then constituted by the delegations that held regular credentials. The report of the committee on credentials was accepted upon roll call, and then the representatives of five counties withdrew from the hall. The representatives of four of these counties held a pump convention. The regular convention remained in session several hours, appolished the usual committees, which retired and made their reports, which were accepted, and elected two Taft delegates to the national convention and certified their elections in due form to the national committee, which without division asked for, held them properly elected.

SATURDAY. AUGUST 3, 1912 There are few Southern white men who secure a stronger hold upon the esteem and affection of the colored people than did Judge S. B. Witt of this city, who was laid to rest last Monday afternoon. He was uniformly fair to all and his friendship for the better class of colored people was known of all men. When he died, many of our people mourned and their grief was as genuine as that of those who had labored for months at his bedside. When the final word is spoken and the fast tide on earth is broken, we hope to meet him again. From the reports coming in from the various states, it is evident that the Roosevelt movement, now known as the Third Party movement is assuming huge proportions and the defections from the Republican Party steadily on the increase. The recent meeting in New York of the county chairman revealed the fact that every county in the State was represented. Many officials in the government service are resigning their commissions to take up the battle for the remarkable leader and statesman of Oyster Bay, New York. While Col. Roosevelt has been outspoken in his condemnation of political bosses, he has collated in his service some of the shrewdest politicians in the country. The State convention in New Jersey was a record breaker and a strong platform was adopted and an enthusiastic delegation elected to the National Progressive Convention at Chicago, which has for its purpose the nomination and election of President Theodore Roosevelt as President of the United States. The dark cloud upon the horizon seems to be coming from the direction of the Southern States. The Progressives in Georgia, Alabama and Virginia have split upon the race question. The white supporters of .Col. Roosevelt in Georgia barred out the colored voters and denied them representation. These colored voters, together with their white allies met and elected delegates to the Chicago convention. The situation in Virginia with reference to the National Progressive Party and sometimes called the "bull moose" Party is puzzling. It has caused much annoyance and untold uneasiness among the colored men, who thought they saw the opportunity of a lifetime for a return to those political conditions which existed here just after the Civil War, when colored men were recognized upon the basis of their political ability. Mr. Thomas Lee Moore of Rounoko and the recognized committeeman in this state called a state convention without consulting Attorney J. R. Pollard and his white state chairman Mr. Newcomb of Petersburg, Va. The result was a largely attended state convention of white men exclusively, with the colored voter absolutely in the background. It was further stated that this action was taken with the assent and consent of Senator Dixon, ex-President Roosovelt's campaign manager. We are not surprised. We have week in and week out told the colored people of the country that Col. Roosevelt was not the ideal proposition that he was, represented to be when it came to the race question and the rights of all American citizens rewardless of race, color or blood. He may believe in all of these things from a personal standpoint, but he is not disposed to force his views upon his political friends and associates. Time is demonstrating the truth of these assertions. The instructions state that in Southern States, where the demand of the colored people are practically arrestable for the reason that the white representation is not sufficient to justify right, and down-right recognition, separate conventions will be held and separate organizations maintained with the hope that temporary harmony may be restored. "SHALL COLORED MEN SUPPORT WILSON?" Bishop Alexander Walters seems to have found a political haven and a democratic resting place, at last if we are to judge by the reports sent out by our correspondent at New York. The able Bishop no longer affiliates with the National Independent and Political League. He claims to have found congenial surroundings not only at Gov. Wilson's cottage at Sea Girt, N. J., but also at the National Democratic Convention at Baltimore, Md. If he did, he is "mighty easily" satisfied. We have never been able to see how any colored leader working for the interests of the race can "square" himself with the principles as unquainted by the Democratic Party. In Northern states and very far North, too, this may be done, but as a rule, it cannot be done without a sacrifice of principle. We can see how colored men can support some Democrats as individuals, and be better off in a personal sense than they would be had they supported the Republican candidate. For our part, we are disgusted with the attitude of some white Republicans hereabout and would just as soon support a "horned" Democrat as to march up to the polls, and support some of them. Still, when the question of party principles is at stake and the issue of manhood rights is to be decided, we must look once or twice and perhaps three times, before we vote once. If Gov. Wilson in his address accepting the nomination will give voice to broad, statesmanlike utterances, which can be construed to cover all people, regardless of race, color or previous condition of servitude, we shall then be in a position to assert that the learned Bishop, builted better than he knew and that it may be time for colored men to follow his leadership into the Democratic Party, where they shall have an opportunity of being something else than "bowers of wood and drawers of water." --- Rev. J. Milton Waldron, D. D. of Washington, D. C. and former National Organizer of the National Independent and Political League published a defense of his conduct and asserted that the colored Democrats were not anbubled by the National Democratic Convention at Baltimore and by its managers. Explanation is made that the reason the colored Democrats were not admitted in a body and did not have seats assigned to them as an organization was due to the fact that they were late in arriving at the Convention Fall. It has often been said that "some excuse is better than none," so we accept the explanation of the colored Democrats at its face value. Dr. Waldron's explanation as to the purpose and mission of an independent organization is correct. Still, we cannot understand how he could have marched in line with the colored Democrats as he said he did, until his organization had heard from the platform committee of the National Democratic Convention and the status of the colored Democrats definitely deckled. As a matter of fact, he was a pronounced Democrat, at least for this campaign at Baltimore and yet he went to Philadelphia to attend the annual sessions of the National Independent Political League, of which organization, he was then the National Organizer. The purpose of the meeting, it seems to us was to decide which one of the political parties was entitled to the support of the independent colored voters of the country. If the National Organizer of the League had already decided this question for himself, what was the use of the meeting at Philadelphia so far as he was concerned? Dr. Waldron admits that he has already identified himself with the National Democratic Party to the extent of openly showing his approval of it by marching in line with the rankest type of colored Democrats. Still, he is also one of the leading officials in the independent movement and is now pledged to submit to Gov. Woodrow Wilson these questions: "Are you in favor of or at rights and opportunities for or rule of citizens and will you contend for them if elected?" "Are you opposed to mending and lawlessness, and wit, if elected labor to make lynching a crime against the national Constitution punishable by Federal Government?" "Will you use every effort to have Jim Crow' car laws, and disruptions amendments to the State Constitutions abolished?" Let us presume that Gov. Woodrow Wilson should answer these questions in the negative or refuse to answer them at all. What will Dr. J. Milton Waldbroon do in the premises?" These may be embarrassing questions and the learned Doctor may reply that he does not care to "cross this bridge before he gets to it," still, as he is a public man, operating in the interest of that part of the public known as the colored people, we hardly think that it is out of place here to attempt to secure information for those people, whom we represent. --- CANDIDATES AND THE RACE QUESTION. The ever-recurring race question is still worrying the candidates. The white enthusiasts of the distinguished resident of Oyster Bay, New York, in the Southland are seriously embarrassing him by announcing that they will not slay in the same convention upon a basis of equality with the citizen of color. They are insisting upon their right to nullify the provisions of the Constitution of the United States and the fundamental principles of the Republican Party. In this connection, it may be well to quote the telegraphic report sent from Oyster Bay, N. Y. It says: Senator Dixon said It was his understanding that in most of the contests in Southern States between whites and Negroes for seats in the Chicago convention, the white delegates were the ones selected under the official arrangements made by the members of the provisional national committee. These contests would be decided, he said, by the committee. He made it clear that an effort was being put forth to build up the party in the South largely under the leadership of the whites. He said he had just received a letter from Mississippi to the effect that the movement was making rapid progress in that State under white leadership. This statement coming from Senator Dixon, manager for ex-President Roosevelt, is very significant and will be in the nature of "a wet blanket" to the hopes and aspirations of tens of thousands of colored Roosevelt supporters, who had pictured him the greatest statesman the country has ever produced and as being the unblemished champion of fair-play and political equality for the "brother in black." They might have known that what Senator Dixon said was what Col. Roosevelt said and that the one would not go any further than had been indicated by the other. But they could not believe that Senator Dixon had it right, so they journeyed to see the Colonel himself and "they saw the Colonel." Here is what the telegraphic reports say: The attitude of the national progressive party on the race question was inquired into today by a delegation of Negroes, which called on Col. Roosevelt in New York. Representatives of three States were in the delegation. New Jersey sent Dr. C. R. Branch, the Rev. Jbhk C. Love and James Churchman. James H. Hayes came from Richmond, Va. and the Rev. W. P. Hayes, J. R. Gleed and Isaac B. Allen were the representatives of New York. Col. Roosevelt assured them that he would do all in his power to secure for the Negro his full rights under the Constitution. The question of the "illly white" movement in the South was brought up, but Col. Roosevelt postponed a definite answer as to this phase of the question, saying that in a few days he would make a public statement of his ideas of the attitude the national progressive party should take. To any man with ordinary intelligence, it would be apparent that the same. Col. Roosevelt promised these colored men, what practically every candidate would promise them, namely,—that he would do all in his power to secure for them their full rights under the Constitution. As he has no power under the Constitution to do anything, the promise is about an empty—as an empty creek during a dry spot in the summer time. Every one knows or should know that the power rests with the Congress and the States. But when it came to the machinery of the new party, which Col. Roosevelt absolutely controls, for the final Progressive Party is Roosevelt and Roosevelt is the National Progressive Party, the report says that ex-President Roosevelt "postponed a definite answer as to this phase of the question." Is it possible that colored men will not see? Are they still so blinded by their wishes and dulled by their desires, as not to see that the great Roosevelt is tired of them and intends to relegate them to the rear, adopting the policy of the Southern, moss-back, Negro hating Democrats in dealing with them? But we may be a little too fast in drawing our conclusions and it may be best to wait for his definite answer as to this phase of the question. Gov. Woodrow Wilson, the Democrat nominee for President of the United States, like ex-President Roosevelt, is also having his troubles in dealing with this embarrassing race question. The report from Sea girt, New Jersey says: Later in the afternoon he talked with E. E. Grossup, democratic state chairman of New Jersey; J. Taylor Ellyson, Democratic State chairman of Virginia; Louis Nixon, Robert S. Hudspeth, A. Mitchell Palmer, and half a dozen other visitors who had made no appointment to meet him. He also assured a delegation of Negroes representing a New Jersey organization, that they would find, before the campaign was many weeks older, that he was not only in sympathy with the ambitions of their race, but had no prejudice against the men of any race. This is a clear-cut statement of his position. It is in striking contrast to the equivocal position assumed by the distinguished ex-President. He does not promise to do all in his power to enforce the provisions of a Constitution, which he cannot enforce but he declares in the open that he is not only in sympathy with the ambitions of the colored race, but that he has no prejudice against two men of any race. It would seem that Bishop Alexander Walters did have positive assurances from the distinguished Democratic presidential candidate relative to his attitude towards the colored people of this country and this fact will be a most positive one in discussing the question, "Shall colored men support Wilson?" The political situation is becoming an embarrassing as it is complicated. President Taft has drawn the colorline on colored men in the Southern States. Ex-President Roosevelt, through his Chairman, Senator Dixon has done the same thing and now the Democratic nominee of the Democratic National Convention openly announces that he has no prejudice against the colored people of the United States and that he is in sympathy with their ambitions. Consider in this connection, the adoption by the Democrats of this State, a primary plan, which admits colored men and enables them to stand on a basis of equality with white men in the Democratic organization and we come to the conclusion that truly, "the world moves" and the people with it. God has a hand in all of this. He has promised that where one door closes against His people, another one shall open. We see a literal demonstration of this fact and we call the attention of the thinking colored people to a most remarkable display of God's power and demonstration that all things will come right in their own time. DRASTIC NEW DRUG BILL House Committee Favors Measure Drawing Lines Tightly. A blow at the readers of quack patient medicine was a ruck by the house interstate commerce committee when it favorably reported the bill of Representative Stirley, Democrat, to amend the pure food and drug act. The measure "prohibits" "false and fraudulent" curative claims for patent medicines upon labels, under penalty of prohibition from interstate commerce. The Stirley bill seeks to meet the decision of the supreme court in the Johnson case, where it was held that false and extravagant claims as curative powers of medicines was not in violation of the pure food law. 1600 North 80th Street.

Unconscious For More Than Thirty- six Hours Before the End Came, He Dies Quietly. Mutsubito, emperor of Japan, died in Tokio on Tuesday. He had been un- conscious for thirty-six hours. Acute nephritis was given as the cause of death, but he is said to have suffered from a complication of di- eases. The crown, prince, Yoshibito, has succeeded to the throne. The new emperor was born Aug. 31, 1879, at Tokio. He was declared heir to the throne in 1889. There was a alight rally in the patient's condition Sunday, but this failed to hold. Every resource known to science was used by the attending physicians to hear him over the crisis which they knew to be at hand, but the stimulants administered to strengthen the heart action had no effect. The empress and crown prince were with the emperor when he passed away. The dead ruler's wife was led weeping from the room when she was told by the physicians that all was over. Throughout the night crowds had belledged the palace for the latest news from the sick room. Thousands of men, women and children prayed in the streets for the recovery of their emperor. The emperor had been ill for several months, but the first intimation that his condition had reached a critical stage came in an announcement published in the Nichl Nichl at 12:15 on the afternoon of July 20. The news was a tremendous shock to the people of Japan. It spread rapidly through the empire and within a few hours of the first announcement up until his majesty passed away spent most of their time, visiting, shrines and praying for their ruler. While the throngs in front of the royal palace had been waiting for hours in breathless expectancy and had seemingly been prepared for the announcement of the end, an audible wall arose from the multitude when that announcement came. The last moments of the mikado were most impressive. Surrounding the deathbed were the empress, the crown prince, who will reign as Emperor Yoshihito; his wife, and the young princes and theologians, together with a few heads of the state. Yoshihito was greatly affected. Recently ill himself, he was by far the palest one in the room, and his thoughts were plainly on his dead father and not the exalted station his father's death has thrust him into. The Emperor Mutahito was born in Hoto on Nov. 3, 1952. He was the second son of the Emperor Komel. He succeeded to the throne in 1867, and in 1885 overthrew the rule of the Shoguns, who were de facto sovereigns for 700 years under the theoretical rule of the mikados. From 1868 to 1899 Mutsuhito ruled as an absolute sovereign, though reforms granted in 1882 and thereafter in practice limited his power. In 1899 a constitution was promulgated, and since that time the emperor has ruled as a constitutional sovereign. The crown prince, who will succeed to the throne, was born in 1879. Mutsuhito ascended the throne as the 121st mikado. He married, on Feb. 9, 1899, the third daughter of Ichihiro Tadaka, a noble of the first rank. His wife was born in 1859. She is known as Her Imperial Majesty Haruki. throne is Yoshihito, the third son of Mutahabito, who was born Aug. 31, 1879. He was nominated heir apparent in 1887 and proclaimed crown prince in 1899. Prince Yoshihito has served in the army and navy of his country, and in 1909 he became both a lieutenant general and a vice admiral. On May 10, 1900, he married Princess Sabako, fourth daughter of Prince Kujo Michitaka. The crown prince has three sons, the youngest of whom was born in 1905. Three-Score Dead In Floods. Over ninety lives were claimed on Wednesday by floods and cloudbursts in southwestern Pennsylvania and West Virginia, and hundreds of homes and business houses were destroyed. Uniontown, Pa., leads the list of the known dead with fifteen. At Wheeling, W. Va., three were drowned; at Lomont, Pa., four were drowned; at Ellenwood, Pa., three persons were drowned, and thirty six lives are reported to have been lost in other towns of the two states. Uniontown, Lomont, Mount Braddock, Connellaville and Dunbar, Pa. were inundated. In Turtle Creek Valley the damage is enormous and scores of families are homeless in the upper Youghigheny Valley. Hundreds of families deserting their homes in a mad rush for safety on the mountain slides sought shelter beneath improvised shacks and tents, toward the construction of which every available piece of debris was turned to account. Shivering women and children gassed over a acone of desolation in the upper Youghkenghoven Valley, and as the waters recode it turned dwellings, shattered buildings and crushed plies of mortar were held in a mass by a railroad bridge or trestle. At Evans Station, three miles north of Uniontown, Pa., a cloudburst sent patrons raging into the mouth of the Superba No. 2 mines. Fourteen men were drowned like rates in a trap, while thirty-seven others had miraculous escapes from a similar death. A low miles away at 1.000 mine No. 2 three other men are reported to have drowned in like fashion. Steel Mills Short of Labor Urgent pleas have been received by steel car manufacturers in Pittsburgh, Pa., since the middle of the month that delivery of cars ordered during May and June be hastened. Shortage of labor has interfered with the putting on of more capacity in the past fortnight notwithstanding declarations of the railroads that delays in deliveries of cars ordered early in the summer will aggravate the most severe car famine in the history of the country during the coming fall. Unusual expedients are being resorted to by the railroads and car manufacturers. One southern railroad is financing a Roanoke, Va., bridge and structural company in the installation of car building machinery, because it is unable to get prompt deliveries of steel cars in the north. Millions are being expended in the Pittsburgh district for improvements and additions to steel plants, and it is expected that this year's record of money spent will exceed that of any other year in the district's history. The figure is close to $30,000,000. Two Dead In Mine. Two miners were killed and three others injured by an explosion of gas in the Hillman slope of No. 1 colliery, operated by the Delkware & Hudson company at Plymouth, near Wilkes-Barre, Pa. The dead are: John McGuire, forty-five years old, married; Michael Morrisey, forty-three years old, married. Their bodies were horribly mangled. As far as can be learned, the explosion was caused by one of the men igniting a body of gas with a naked lamp. Bishop Warren Dies. Bishop Henry W. Warren, of the Methodist Episcopal church, who was retired from active work by the general conference last May, died in Denver, Colo. The bishop was stricken with pneumonia a few days ago. Immediate relatives and the bishop's physician were at his bedside at the time of the death. The widow, who had been in constant attendance upon the noted divine since his illness, was prostrated and is under a physician's care. Horse's Kick Killa Baby. Kirked by one of the heavy horses attached to a local brewery wagon, the sixteen-months-old daughter of Felice Dilasrott, of West Berwick, Pa., was instantly killed. The child's neck was broken and her skull fractured at the base of the brain. No one saw the baby until she was under the horse's heels. Tiny Vessel Crossing Atlantic. The thirty-five-foot motorboat Detroit, Captain Thomas Fleming Day, eastbound across the Atlantic, was spoken on July 22, 800 miles east of Boston light by the steamer Arabic. The Detroit reported all well. She has four men aboard and is the smallest power boat that has ever tried to cross the Atlantic. Killen Sixty-Year-Old Mrs. V. J. Hartwell, of Mecklenberg county, killed her sixty-year-old husband near Charlotte, N. C., Friday. She explained that she was enraged at the conduct of her husband and her daughter by a former marriage. The Hartwells had been married for twenty-five years. Two Hang For Killing Three Persons. George Sheldon and John Bailey were hanged in Nashville, Tenn., Friday for the murder of Bost Pettigrew, an old negro, and his two children. As Pettigrew and his children came along the road they were shot down. Dispute over land is said to have been the murder motive. Girl Has Fasted 23 Days. In an effort to reduce her weight, Miss Lizzie Griffin, of East St. Louis, ill, bowed on a diet of cool water for three days. Since June 2, she has lost 100 lb. her weight from 21. May 1, 1911. John Mitchell, Editor of B John Mitchell, Jr., Editor of Richard Planet, Richmond, Va. My Dear John Mitchell. I have been trying to locate John Richard brother of William Richmond, a colored American who died here about three weeks after his arrival of malignant malaria, called the black water fever out here. William Richmond registered in this office as an American citizen, giving as his nearest kin, John Richmond, whose post office address in America was given at Pembroke Store Postoffice, Campbell county, Va. I addressed a dispatch to the State Department, reporting the death of William Richmond, requesting that they assist me in locating the brother of the deceased. The department acknowledged the receipt of the dispatch. I wrote John Richmond, sending the letter to the above address. The letter was returned marked uncalled for. The property of the deceased, cos sisting of travelling bag, clothing, money and bank book are in my possession. I am anxious that his effects reach his brother, or if he be dead, satisfactory proof of the same must be furnished in order that I can proceed in settling the estate. I know no one better qualified than yourself to whom I can turn for as- sistance. Will you help me find the heir of William Richmond?******* I take this opportunity to congratulate you upon the splendid showing of the Mechanics' Bank in its achievements in the field of finance. If industry, honest endeavor, perseverance, determination and inteligent management are essentials of success (and they are) then your future and the success of the great financial institution of which you are the honored head is assured. Many Americans, white and colored, come out here and lead careless lives, disregarding advice as to the care of their health, and quickly pay the penalty in an early grave I am, sir. Your obedient servant, WM. D. CRUM, American Consul-General Liberia, Africa. Do You Know Him? Columbia, Va., March 19, 1912. Mr. John Mitchell, Jr.. Richmond, Va. My.Dear Str. I see published in your valuable paper the letter of Consul General Crum May I, 1811 stating the death of William Richmond any trying to locate John Richmond. I wish to say that I had a brother by the name of William Richardson, born in Cumberland, Va. and reared in Columbia, Va. He went to Richmond, Va. and lived there many years. He left Richmond, Va. on the 8th of September, 1896 and I have not heard of him since. I could not tell if he was dead or alive. He had a scar on the right cheek and he had a scar under the right eye and one on the chin. All three of the scars are visible and will last him to the grave. He was about five feet ten inches and weighed about 175 or 180 pounds when I saw him last. I also send you the piece that I clipped from the paper or 'The PLANET.' Please find him if you can for me.

COLORED DEMOCRACY ALL READY FOR WILSON. Your correspondent made a visit to the headquarters of the United Colored Democracy at 122 W. 136th street last week and found things lively at the headquarters. Splendid quarters have been fitted up and everything indicates that a lively campaign will be handled from the headquarters. Robert N. Wood. President of the local Democracy, and the leader of the colored Democrats of New York City and State, and one of the most prominent men in the political life of the country is enthusiastic over the candidacy of Wilson. Mr. Wood who has just had a conference with Governor Wilson at Seagirt, said he was received in most respect and was assured by the Governor that he would stand by the Negro in the event of his election. Mr. Wood said that every phase of the Negro question was discussed and that the Governor showed a keen interest in everything that was brought up by him. Mr. Wood in talking to your correspondent said, "It is safe in saying that Mr. Wilson if elected with stand by the Negro. In talking to him, I appealed to him from the standpoint of a Southerner who knew the situation of the Negro in the South. Mr. Wilson appealed to the importance recognizing the Negro votes and I feel that he is sincere in this matter." "I would not support any man," said Mr. Wood, "who would not pledge his support to the race." The Negro Democrats are solid for Wilson. There are 46,000 colored Democrats in the State and 5,000 who are in New York. Mr. Wood stands high in the political field. He is found to be on the side of honesty and square dealing. He represents the highest type of the politician. Few men know the political situation as affects the Negro better than Mr. Wood, and wield greater influence. SOME PROMINENT DEMOCRATS It is interesting to note the person nell of the colored men who are supporting the Democratic party. They are men of wide training and character. F. Q. Morton, who has been supporting the Democratic party since 1909 is one of the brightest young men in the race. He is a lawyer by profession and has been effective as a campaign speaker in several campaigns. He is a graduate of Harvard University and while in college made a notable record as a debater. James L. Curtis another prominent lawyer with offices at 5 Beckman street is a national figure among colored Democrats. He is the secretary of the Ex. Committee of the Northwestern Democratic League and will direct the annual palm among the Negro voters of the country. He was educated at Lincoln University, and the law school of the Northwestern University. J. Frank Wheaton is one of the most prominent of the campaign speakers of the Democrats. Mr. Wheaton is well known as a lawyer. 8150.00 Endowment Paid. Graham, Va., July 25, 1912. This is to certify that I have received from John Mitchell, Jr. Grand Chancellor of the Grand Lodge of Virginia, Knights of Pythia, A. S. A. E. A., A. and A., 11th Degree, S. S.

St. Clair, Atty. for Alex Steward T. P. Wright, J. E. Bucker, J. E. Adama, S. L. Brown, M. of F. D. C. Johnson, D. D. G. C. Harry K. Thaw, in the eyes of the law, is still insane and must remain in the asylum where he was placed on Feb. 1, 1908, after he had killed Stanford White. Justice Martin J. Keogh, of the New York supreme court at White Plains, denied Thaw's application for free dom. The court took the ground that Thaw's release would be dangerous to public safety. The decision of Justice Keagh deny liberty to Tawh in his third effort to escape from the madhouse was brief. It held that the applicant had not proved his sanity. Justice Keagh said: "My whole duty is fully performed when I decide the single question presented for decision, namely: Is Harry K. Thaw at present nane or insane, and would his release be dangerous to the public peace and safety? Having listened to all the testimony and seriously considered it, I am of the opinion that Harry K. Thaw is still insane and that his discharge would be dangerous to the public peace and safety. The writ, therefore, must be dismissed on the merits and Harry K. Thaw be delivered to the authorities at Mattewan." BECKER CHARGED WITH MURDER New York Police Lieutenant Is Under Arrest. Rose, Webber and Vallon Declare Becker Ordered Rosenthal Killed and Promised Protection. Lieutenant Claus Becker was arrested in New York city and held by Judge Mulquenon for murder. In the first degree, after Jack Rose, Becker's collector for gambling money, had contended that the police lieutenant had ordered to have Herman Rosenthal killed. The arrest and arraignment of Becker followed swiftly after Rose's confession and the confessions of Bridgely Webber and Harry Vallon, who corroborated Rose in every important particular. District Attorney Whitman, questioning the three parishioners for four hours, pounded one against the other until they all broke down and said Rosenthal was shot down in front of the Metropole by a direct gang because Becker wanted it done. The grand jury acted specially. With their confessions warm on their lips, Rose, Webster and Vallon went before the grand jury, put their hands on the Bible and swore that they had told the whole truth. Within an hour the former commander of the strong arm squad was in a cell in the Tombs. But the men who placed him there did not dare to leave the district attorney's office. Shaking with fear, they begged the district attorney to keep them for the night in his office. And there they stayed, under guard of four of Mr. Whitman's detectives. Rose's confession, the most vital of the three, details how Hocker six weeks ago told him that Herman Rose enthalid had lived too long, that Rose enthalid had to be put out of the way, and that the men who did the job had nothing to fear, because he (hecker) was a power in the police department. So Rose went out and spread the word that the string arm commander said that Rose enthalid must be killed. He dropped hints here and there. He did more. He sent for big Jack Selig and held a conference with that torturous gang leader of the East Side. The four men who pitied Rose enthalid by this arrangement were White Lewis, Letty Lewis, Dagge Frank and "Gypy Blood." Rose admits that he rounded them up and saw that they were pitted for the crime. It was for this purpose that the gray car of Libby was used. Rose is not sure that they escaped in the gray car, but he points to Hocker's promises of protection as a proof that the murderers did get clear of the police. The general manager of the Milling, Jack Reeker, called Becker up by phone a few minutes after Rosenthal was dead on the sidewalk in front of the Metropole. He told Becker that it was a bit terrifying. He said it was more than he expected. He was frightened clear to the heart, and he was afraid to stir without a word of confidence from his master. And Becker was over the game, while Rose was making preparations for a hurried trip down to the Tenderloin. "Oh, don't worry. I will protect you. There won't be much fuss over this." A few minutes later, in the shadow of the Murray Hill baths, Lieutenant Becker, calm and collected, and with perfect confidence in his reassurance to the moviegoer and frightening Rose, bid. "Don't you be worried over this matter. I see you that none of the boys are into it." The bald cameraman, who included in his conversation a frank statement that for a long time he had been collecting money for legislation, not only for Lieutenant Becker, but for officers higher up in the police department, swears he did not know that murder was to be done the night he hired shots met at Bridge Weberk and sat there waiting for the signal that Rosenthal, the squealer, was about to leave the Hotel Metropole. Rose says he knew something was to be done to Rosenthal, but that he would have finished from the task if he had known that pistols were to be used against the informer. Bridge Weberk, the host of the murder conspirators, backed up Rose, and told of what was said when he and Rose met Becker up town a few days before the murder. Becker was hot for the killing. As for Harry Vallon, his confession was the least important of the three. But, the Weiner, he supported Rise in a substantial particulars. Denying that he was present when the murder was committed, Vallon admits that he was at the door a few minutes previously, and that he was cognizant of the arrangements. Rose said also that Becker had told him that $2,000 was the yearly police graft from gambling, disorderly houses and other forms of blackmail. Rose swore that Becker had confided to him that the loot was divided among four police officials, Becker himself, two policemen of higher rank and a minor official who does not wear a uniform. "Jark," said Becker, "the rake off is so good that my own shave wag $800, 900, and the others got the same." Beckers collector, having handled a good deal or the money himself, does not think that he receives any individual pocketed $2000 in any one year, but that hecker and his connections were distributing agents and that the $600,000 each received was subdivided. There is just one chance for he to have himself. The district attorney may conclude to deal leniently with the lieutenant. If he can and will tell the truth about who also received the THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA. Lieutenant Becker, Charged With Murder, and Jack Rose. THE POLICE OF NEW YORK Photo by American Press Association profits of blackmail. There was not the slightest indication that Becker would turn Informer. On the contrary, a man with whom he has talked in the past twenty-four hours said that the Leutenant's defense would be that Rose and Bridgley Webber and Harry Vallon had lied about him for the purpose of saving themselves. As the case unwinds its folds it will be foiled, if the statements of Rose and Webber stand up, that the four men who killed Rosenthal were not paid any large amount of money for the crime. The tale that as much as $2000 was paid is denied by the men who are alleged to have paid it. The quartet of gangsters moved to murder were inspired entirely, it is said, by fear of what Becker could do to them if they failed to obey orders. Each of them had blood on his hands and each had been engaged in the commission of crimes for which no punishment had been met out. All they got, if the information given the district attorney is correct, was a few handouts, as it were, of five, ten or twenty$^a$ dollar bills. This was partly "booze money" and partly "getaway money". The incentives are now with out funds except such as are provided by their pals, and their early capture is regarded as a certainty. Police inspector Hughes said that he had information as to the whereabouts of the slayers of Rosenthal and that they would be arrested soon. MARKET FOR BEDBUGS Will Pay Five Cents Each For Live Cases For Experimental Purposes. There has been found a man who not only wanted to help, but was willing to pay one cent each for them it deceived above. Lisa O'Connell demand comes from G. M. Zimmerman, president of the Ung- iversity, who is in the experimental study of Virginia. He has hung out one of his wristbands. Will pay five cents for each hand to $2 worth. Mr. Zimmerman complains that he has been unable to pay all the bills he deposits in his purpose, which is to set them to pay, overminimating an amount which is destroying an artery in the experimental farm. The proposal of Virginia seems about taking advantage of the offer by the United States officials. FERRETT ATTACKS BABY Pet Animal Disfigures and Perhaps Fatally Injures Child. A pet bereft, which had been allowed to play about the crumble of her baby, attacked the five-month-old son of Mrs. Carrie Cahill at Grafton, W.Va. Before the mother discovered what the beast was doing it hated eaten one check, partly devoured one eyeball and had punctured the back of the child's head as well as a vein in the child's nostril. The baby will probably die. Fined on Installment Plan. Hardy H. Whitlock, former county treasurer, pleaded guilty to embezzlement at Dantville, Ill., and was fined $75,000 in monthly installments of $40. It will take 156 years and three months to pay the fine. Coal Probe Is Ordered. The house of representatives has adopted a resolution calling upon the secretary of commerce and labor to inquire into "the different elements of cost and profit included in the present high price of anthracite." Representative Diffenderfer, Democrat, of Pennsylvania, author of the resolution, declared that a "hard coal trust" existed and that coal mined in Pennsylvania was sold at higher prices in Philadelphia than in New York. He contended that, while the miners' wages recently had been increased a fraction more than 5 per cent, coal operators had arbitrarily advanced the price to the consumer 25 cents a ton an advance measurably greater that represented by the miners' wage increase.

July 22, 1912 Editor of The Richmond PLANET. I write these lines in hope of finding some of my father's relatives. My father was born and raised in Albemarle county, Virginia. He belonged to one Dr. Farrar. When about 15, he was taken to Richmond, Va. as a slave, where he remained for some time, until purchased by a gentleman of this town by the name of Henry S. Kane. He was brought to Gate City, Va. with several others by Henry S. Kane about the year of 1849. His name was Daniel Rack, he so loved his father, that of Daniel Rack. He had some brothers and sisters. I know not how many. He had one brother named Warwick. If I am not mistaken he said this brother was sold into Missouri. His brother was also older than he. My father died when I was but an infant in 1859. I know nothing of him except what I have heard my mother say. She having died some years ago deprives me of any information, which I might be able to get from her were she still living. If there is any one living in Albermarle county or any.where else that can give any information that will enable me to find any of my relatives I should be glad to have it. I am more than 50 years old and have more knowledge to find any of my father's people. Very respectfully, WARKWICK D. MORISON Do You Know Her?

They took away 10 suits of our best 60 cents per suit underwear. Not being satisfied with these they looked a coat and spied on a collapsed and serge coats that we sell for $1.25, $2.00 and $3.00 and they grabbed up 12 of these. They were arrested and convicted and fined $10 each but the judge reuced the fine to $5.00 each if they would pay for the goods. They agreed to do this as the goods were so cheap for the price and kept them so cool during the hot weather that they concluded that they had a bar gain. Now they advise you to go to 309 N. 2nd St. and get your Summer underwear and a serge or slapse cost that will only cost you $1.25 $2.00 $3.00 or $3.50 without being disgraced by stealing them and save the cost in police court. They would also advise every preacher in this city and county who has to proach so hard every Sunday trying to warn sinners to flee from the wrath to come to go there as early as possible and get one of these cool alpaca or serge coats 42 inches long that will one cost you $2.50 $3.50 Best one for $4.00 You will also find there an up-date line of collars ties and socks. They handle the best 25 cent silk sox in all colors in the market. Don't forget them when you are in need of a nice serge suit for yourself or boy. All the $15; $18 and $20 serges have been reduced to $7.50 $8.00 and $10.00. Boys suits made from worsted fabrics from $1.50 to $3.00 and $4.00 per suit. 500 pairs single men's pants from $1.50 $2.50 to $3.00.

Dr. J. G. Merrill, ex-President of the University of Georgia, says "I have heard so much of Windows' call that I wish a copy of it. Send it to me." Bishop L. B. Scott of the M. E. Church, says: "I believe it will change conditions in the South if it is read by any considerable number of the leaders of that section. Hon. Naw W. Cooper, one of Tennessee's most widely known white lawyers, says: "* It is really a wonderful book, full of the finest philosophy, choosest rhetoric and Christian ideas. Rev. Mr. Griggs is manifestly a great teacher, a GENIUS and a statesman." The Chief of Police of Barton, Fl. says: "That book has changed my views on the race question. I see that we white people have got to change our treatment of the Negroes." You do yourself and the cause of humanity an injustice when you neglect or delay to send for Wisdom's Call.
