In 1888, while a member of the board of visitors of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute, he was elected president of the institute, succeeding John M. Langston, which position he ably and satisfactorily filled to the time of his death. President Johnston's most efficient and beneficient service to society was rendered as teacher and educator. He was a graduate of the Richmond High and Normal School in this city, and taught for ten years in the public schools here. A TESTIMONIAL TO HIS CHARACTER.

Baller, President Alumun Association, Chicago, Illinois: The occasion which brings forth the following remark, is not only that V. N. and I. I. lost his president; not alone that the Afro-American has lost one of their most leaders, but that the world has lost a man. It is not always true that our leaders are clean morally,粗眉 honest and stand firmly for the principles that are based in the foundation of American civilization. It is not now, always, to find a man who at once combines scholarship, intellectual ability and creative genius, as was true of our late imputed President James Hugo Johnston. His early training was thorough and of the best in his graduate training placed him in the ranks of our most beloved; his work is important, which is always the greatest opportunity training placed him in the vault of American progress, with the world's greatest workforces for the spirit of humanity. The institution which he leaves in an overarching command in his consecutive guards and the one element of the Respectful Respondence to American Citizenship. His example is an ethology, actor, educator and administration lesson representative of the example of American and European philanthropy, so he has, so all that he has been taught, all that he is meant to learn, all that he must be known to be known to be used widely. The Advocacy Guild to the world's elite 'fought a good fight and kept the faith.' Whereas, We the members of the Alumni Association students and friends realizing the fact; that his patience and Herculean labors com- bined with his ability and tact, has brought to the attention and good faith of the outside world, the worth of the school, for whom he labored so auspicious, have endured him, not only to the graduates and former students of the school but to the race and country at large, for he is indeed a contribution to Humanity. Resolved. That we, the Alumni Association, hold memorial exercises one month from to-day, in our regular biennial meeting. Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions be given to the Daily and Associated Press, as well as the weekly papers, a copy to the family, and a copy filed in the archives of the V. N. and I. I., as well as upon the records of the Alumni Association. The Alumni Association of the V. N. and I. I. M. T. BAILEY, President. ORA BROWN STOKES, Orc. Sec. MAUDE REYNOLDS, Rec. Sec.

Emma's Wallop Mortell's Rock Castle, Va., April 13. — The four team league at Rimelde Industrial and Agricultural College opened Easter Monday at 3 P.M. The first ball was thrown by Gen. Edward Morrell of Philadelphia, the founder of the School, who had previously presented the league with over a hundred and twenty-five dollars worth of sporting goods, remarking that he hoped the teams would appreciate them by their care, good playing and take great interest in this great American sport and aspire to be proficient players. Randolph and Haynes pitched for Morrell's and both did good work. Boone hurled the entire contest for the Emma's. The game, which was umpified by two members of the faculty, was won by the Emma's, sooze 7-4. Though rather a slow game it was not wanting in thrills as when, in the fifth a Morrell player stole second with a great slide. Bourke, the Emma catcher throw the ball to J. Chapain, the second baseman, who caught it close, to the ground, but immediately turned and yelled to center field for the ball. The ruse worked. The runner strolled on to third and was of course tagged out. Uton University Plays Great Game. Lincoln, Omaha Next. Easter Monday marked one of the greatest days in athletics at Union. Playing before society helpless and chaoticistic fans, the home team held Hampton Institute soccer until the ninth fanning when Jasper, who had pitched no nobly, lost his own game by throwing wild to third and letting in one run. Union had scored in the first round. Hampton' had made some awful try to register a tying run for eight gruelling innings. Then come that fatal ninth and error, error, error and an many run for Hampton. The work of both teams abounded, in brilliant play. Union has a choice combination work ing in the infield. It is said to be the best team that the league have had in years. Coach Winston is doing good work.

OF P LODGE SECURE AN INJUNCTION Editor Garrett's Tribute. (Wichita Factarian.) It has been very interesting to us to watch closely the fight between the Grand Lodge of Virginia led by Hon. John Mitchell of Richmond, and the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias. Having visited Mr. Mitchell in his home city and having at that time studied the great work he has accomplished, and realizing the material required of any man to perfect what he has, we realised he was a man of brain and stability that wins. Then knowing Mr. Green, Supreme Chancellor of the great order of Knights of Pythias, we have known it would be a battle royal when John Mitchell and his Grand Lodge were refused admittance to the Supreme sessions at Baltimore last year because they refused to pay the excess of $761.90 levied taxes. John Mitchell has fought the Supreme Lodge and now the United States court has granted to the Virginia Grand Lodge an injunction preventing the dissolution of the Grand Lodge of Virginia by Supreme Chancellor Green. Mitchell is jubilant over his success thus far and feels he will yet win his point. He is not alone, for the sympathy of many of the more prominent men of other states is with him, and we should not be surprised at a general revolution in the ranks of the K. of F. order if Mitchell wins his suit in full. Men like C. K. Robinson, the man who made printing possible for Negroes in St. Louis, and who lost his office as Supreme Keeper of Records and Seal because he dared to sanction the unjustness of such taxation, stand with Mr. Mitchell. We trust that peace may yet reign in the house of Pythianism where as it may not end in a disruptable state for the caucus which now divides the house against itself. Some say Mitch all seeks supremacy: we feel he seeks justice and protection to the order as a whole, looking into the future as he does. Leesburg (Va.) News Items.

FROM AFRICA. Editor Peregrino's Observations—The Question of Labor. South Africa, Feb. 21, 14. Mr. Editor: I dare say the white people on your side of the stream have kept you fairly informed as to the trend of things here during the past few weeks. I have, reference to matters political and industrial, and yet, they are hardly, likely to give undue emphasis to that phase of the question wherever the black man is concerned. I would address myself therefore to The PLANET in order that those among us, who pause long enough in the patronage and perusal of the white man's to patronize and peruse their own race papers—may have the opportunity of learning from an authoritative source. The colored American, who has kept abreast with the industrial history of his own country need not have attained the age of the patriot, Methusalah, to remember the historic Homestead Strike in Pennsylvania, and which ended so tragically. The student of affairs will recall the fact that strenuous efforts were made by the labor leaders of that day to get at and swallow the colored man so as to enable their white labor to present the necessary frontal proportions, which would scare the employers as you call them on your side of the wall, and "marsters" as we call them here, for in England add in the British Colonies, you are employed by your "marster." "Alice samee slavery, oh?" I recall also that on your side, there is a certain historic yelp, Jamestown, so English, you know your scribe, then a resident of Pittsburgh-had a hand in the controversy. As the result of an open letter, to the gentleman with the title of General Master Workman, I believe that was his "handle." I think there was a "General" in his name. I know there was a "workman" in it, mostly mouthy though. As the result of all this, there was formed shortly the regular branches of the Knights of Labor among the colored people, although to what extent they have prospered or otherwise I am unable to say. COME OUT TO COME IN. BLACK BROTHER. A year and a half ago, there was a strike of printers all over South Africa and Mr. Black Man being also a printer was approached and asked to come out, so as to swell the ranks and that the masters may speedily cry capiol. I was called upon, by a number of the colored printers, soliciting my advice what to do, as the labor leaders had promised to accept them, the colored printers to membership in the Typographical Union of South Africa. I saw these leaders and propounded to them the conundrum. What guarantee are you prepared to give me that the colored man who joins the Union in the Cape Colony would receive recognition on his crossing the Vaal in quest of work? Such a man will be expected to pay the same assessments and contribution as do the whites, wouldn't he? O, yes, but will you or they protect him equally in the North? Or would he be ostracised in Natal, Transvaal and O. F. States remain only a part of a number? And it still remains a conundrum. Many of the men, heeding my advice, remained at work. Others, especially those of the North known as near white, went out on a strike. The strike ended white man went back to work. Near white man is kicking up his heels on the street. NEW TRIAL FOR JACK JOHNSON. United States Appellate Court Rules in Favor of Negro Pugilist. Chicago, April, 14.—Jack Johnson, the Negro pugilist, was granted a new trial to-day by the United States Appellate Court on one count of the indictment charging violation of the Mann act, of which he stood convicted. Johnson, who was under sentence of one year in the penitentiary and to pay $1,000 fine was held to have been proved guilty only of transporting Beile Schreiber, a white woman, from Pittsburgh to Chicago, for improper purposes. The other count was held not proven, the court stating that the Negro had not been shown to have any commercial interest in the woman's misdoping. Johnson left Chicago secretly nearly a year ago, and has been in Paris since. Johnson's attorneys were jubilant, asserting it ended the possibility of his serving a prison term. A fine, they said, was the only punishment that could be imposed on him. The district attorney's office asserted that the decision made little change in the situation. Acidstability Foot. Charles Friendster was accidentally shot and slightly wounded last Sunday while playing with a gun at 912 Abigail Street. (National Baptist Union-Review) Announcement is made that Rev. Sutton E. Griggs, A. M., D. D., Corresponding Secretary National Baptist Educational Board, famous as an essayist, novelist, philosopher and orator, is arranging a tour of the country for the purpose of carrying to the Negro race a new message of hope. The message will come in the form of an address from the subject, "Nature's Great Dream with Reference to the American Negro." This address was delivered recently at the Central Baptist Church, of St. Louis, Mo., where it was pronounced by the unanimous vote of the many auditors the most remarkable deliverance of its character that they had ever heard. From the standpoint of overshadowing eloquence, reinforced by originality and depth of thought and closeness of reasoning, Dr. Griggs ranks with the master spirits of the age and is rated as one of the greatest orators of modern times. The character of the treat in store for those who shall hear this address may be judged from the following tributes to Dr. Griggs' power as an orator: Hon. T.-O.-Fuller, A. M., Ph. D., Ex-Senator North Carolina Legislature, President Howe Institute: "If any man living or dead ever made a stronger plan for his people, I have never heard it, seen it nor heard of it." Rev. A. B. Callid, Boston, Mass. : "Never since the days of Frederick Douglass have I been so stirred as I have been by the address of Mr. Griggs, to which we have listened tonight." Rev. R. C. Judkins, D. D. Editor Colored Alabaman: "That was the greatest speech that I over heard fall from human lips." Mumphis Commercial Appeal: "Dr. Griggs is rewarded by many as one of the most eloquent and forceful orators that his race has produced. His power over audiences is said to be little short of invaluable, and he has been known to lift audiences to their feet by the sheer force of his eloquence." St. Louis Republic: "The delegates (to the Southern Baptist Convention, white) cheered when Rev. Sutton E. Griggs, a Negro Educational Secretary of the National Baptist Convention, spoke. ***President E. C. Dargan checked the applause, but could not quiet the shouts of encouragement from the Convention members." St. Louis Globe-Democrat: "He made what was considered one of the most eloquent speeches of the Convention." Rev. H. M. Moore, D. D.: "Among the many addresses that I have listened to during my life that was the masterpiece of them all." The National Baptist Union: "The most able, learned and logical speech made during the entire Philadelphia, Penn.) convention was delivered by Sutton E. Griggs. For fully an hour and twenty minutes, Dr. Griggs held his audience of five thousand securely within his grasp. The lowest demonstration followed the matchless eloquence of this fascinating young hero. The audience cheered wildly, hats were tossed in midair, the Chautauqua salute was given repeatedly, lusty lungs poured forth their contents in loud voluminous applause, and Dr. Griggs retired from the platform the hero of that eventful morning." The Daily Metropolis, Jacksonville, Fla.: "Much has been said of the eloquence and close reasoning of the speaker and it was not long after he began before every one present felt that all had been said was true." Towns and cities that are desirous of having Dr. Griggs visit them in the course of his coming tour can address him at 658 South Lauderdale street, Memphis, Teen. He will go as far south as Galveston, Texas and as far north as Denver, Colorado. The presentation of copies of "Wisdom's Call." written by Dr. Griggs to the lawmakers of the nation, will take place upon the occasion of his stop at Washington, D. C. The pre sentation was ordered by the National Baptist Convention - some time ago, but has been delayed thus far from the failure to provide a sufficiency of support for the project. It is believed that the matter will be fully consummated on this trip. A Wound in the Arm. William Woody was shot in the arm at Seventeenth and Franklin Streets last Sunday morning. He stated that he did not know who shot him.

SYNOPSIS Sam Glendon, manager of boats, bears a wonderful unknown bait called Pat Glendon. He finds the boy in the wadersmen. Glendon, innocent of the world's ways, goes to San Francisco and is matched "Roughhouses Kelly." He whips Kelly, and other boats so easily that he is called "Glendon" more than the Flying Dutchman. Glendon wins again. He nears the top in pugilism. His manager, Hubberen, chops off the ring practices, unknown to Glendon. Through Mau Mang Singer, a reporter, Glendon first learns of the crooked practices and first suspects Hubberen. CHAPTER V. BUT the purpose grew larger and larger. In place of $100, such as his first battles had earned him, he was now receiving from $2000 to $2000 a right, as well as equally large sums from the moving picture man. Stubener took his manager's percent age of all this according to the terms of the contract old Pat had drawn up, and both he and Glendon, despite their heavy expenses, were waging rich. This was due more than anything else to the clean lives they lived. They were not wasters. Stubener was attracted to real estate, and his holdings in San Francisco, consisting of building flats and apartment houses, were bigger than Glendon ever dreamed. There was a secret syndicate of betters, however, which could have made an accurate guess at the size of Stubener's holdings, while heavy bonuses after heavy bonus, of which Glendon never heard, was paid over to his manager by the moving picture men. Stubener's most serious task was in maintaining the importance of his young gladiator. Nor did he find it difficult. Glendon, who had nothing to do with the business end, was little interested Besides, wherever his travels took him, he spent his spare time in hunting and fishing. He rarely mingled with those of the sporting world, was notoriously aby and secluded and preferred art galleries and books of verse to sport coasts. Also, his trainers and sparing partners were rigorously instructed by the manager to keep their tongues away from the slightest blurs of ring rotten ness. In every way Stubener, intertwined between Glendon and the world. He was never even interviewed save in Stubener's presence. Only once was Glendon approached. It was just prior to his battle with Henderson, and an offer of $100,000 was made to him to throw the fight. It was made hurriedly, in swift whispers, in a hotel corridor, and it was fortunate for the man that Pat controlled his temper and shouldered past him without reply. He brought the tale of it to Stubener, who said: "It's only con, Pat. They were trying to Josh him." He noted the blue eyes blaze. "And maybe worse than that. If they could have got you to fall for it there might have been a big sensation, in the papers that would have finished you. But I doubt it. "Such things don't happen any more. It's a myth, that's what it is, that has come down from the middle history of the ring. There has been rottenness in the past, but no fighter, or manager of reputation would dare anything of the sort today. "Why, Pat, the men in the game are as clean and straight as those in professional baseball, than which there is nothing cleaner or straighter." And all the while he talked Stubberen knew in his heart that the forthcoming fight with Henderson was not to be shorter than twelve rounds—this for the moving pictures—and not longer than the fourteenth round. And, he knew, furthermore, so big were the stakes involved, that Henderson himself was pledged not to last beyond the fourteenth. And Glendon, never approached again, dismissed the matter from his mind and went out to spend the afternoon in taking color photographs. The camera had become his latest hobby. Loving pictures, yet unable to paint, he had compromised by taking up photography. In his hand bagage was One grip packed with books on the subject, and he spent long hours in the dark room, realizing for himself the various processes. Never had there been a great fighter who was as an aloof from the fighting world as he. Because he had little to say with those he encountered he was called sullen and unsocial, and out of this a newspaper reputation took form that was not an exaggeration so much as it was an entire misconception. Bolled down, his character in print was that of an ox muscled and dumbly stupid brute, and one callow sporting writer dubbed him the "abyssal brute." The name stuck. The rest of the fraternity halted it with delight, and thereafter Glendon's name never appeared in print unconnected with it. Often, in a headline or under a photograph, "The Abyssal Brute," capitalized and without quotation marks, appeared alone. All the world knew who was this brute. This made him draw into himself closer than ever, while it developed a bitter prejudice against news paper folk. Regarding fighting itself, his earlier mild interest grew stronger. The man woman been guilty in Europe made me a goodly home. She had won the state, kept with her, from Ran time on a sensation team at a game. In for art and Francisque. All this until her faeces. Acute. Pete yet having could gin those who her father of life and social misgoing to swear. Beginning had swiftly was prince "it's only con. Pat." he now fought were anything but dubs, and victory did not come easily. They were picked men, experienced ring generals, and each battle was a problem. There were occasions when he found it impossible to put them out to any designated later round of a fight. Thus with Sitzberger, the gigantic German, try as he would in the eight eighth round, he failed to get him. In the nineteenth it was the same story, and not till the twentieth did he manage to break through the battling guard and drop him. Glendon's increasing enforcement of the game was accompanied by severity and probabilistic training. Never dispassing, spending much of his time on hunting trips in the hills, he was practically always in the pink of condition, and, unlike his father, no unfortunate accidents marred his career. He never broke a bone, nor injured so much as a knuckle. One thing that Stubener noted with secret glee was that his young fighter no longer talked of going permanently back to his mountains when he had won the championship away from Jim Hanford. The consummation of his career was rapidly approaching. The great champion had even publicly intimated his readiness to take on Glendon as soon as the latter had disposed of the three or four aspirants for the championship who intervened. In six months Pat managed to put away Kid McGraw and Philadelphia Jack Meltide, and there remained only Nat Powers and Tom Cannam. And all would have been well had not a certain society girl gone adventuring into journalism, and had not Stubber agreed to an interview with the woman reporter of the San Francisco Courier-Journal. Her work was always published over the name of Mand Sangster, which, by the way, was her own name. The Sangsters were a notoriously wealthy family. The founder, old Jacob Sangster, had packed his blankets and worked as a farm hand in the west. He had discovered an inexhaustible borax deposit in Nevada, and, from hauling it out by mule teams, had built a railroad to do the freighting. Following that he had poured the profits of borax into the purchase of hundreds and thousands of square miles of timber, lands in California, Oregon and Washington. Still later he had combined politics with business, had bought statesmen, judges and machines and become a captain of complicated industry. And after that he had died, full of honor and pessimism, leaving his name a muddy blot for future historians to amudge, and also leaving a matter of a couple of hundreds of millions for his four sons to squabble over. The legal, industrial and political battles that followed vexed and amused California for a generation and culminated in deadly hatred and unspeaking terms between the four sons. The youngest. Theodore, in middle life experienced a change of heart, sold out his stock farms and racing stables and plunged into a fight with all the corrupt powers of his native state, including most of its millionaires, in a quidistic attempt to purge it of the infamy which had been implanted by old Jacob Sangster. Maud Sangster was Theodore's oldest daughter. The Sangster stock uniformly bred fighter among the men and beauties among the women, nor was Maud an exception; also the must have inherited some of the virus of adventure from the Sangster, breed, for she had come to womanhood and done a multitude of things of which no woman in her position should have been guilty. A match in ten thousand, she remained unmarried. She had sojourned in Europe without bringing home a nobleman for spouse and had declined a goodly portion of her own set at home. She had gone in for outdoor sports, won the tennis championship of the state, kept the society weekends agog with her unconventionalities, walked from San Mateo to Santa Cruz against time on a wager and once caused a sensation by playing polo in a men's team at a private Burlingame practice game. Incidentally she had gone in for art and maintained a studio in San Francisco's Latin quarter. All this had been of little moment until her father's reform attack became acute. Passionately independent, never yet having met the man in whom she could gladly submit and bored by those who had inspired, she resented her father's interference with her way of life and put the climax on all her social misdeeds by leaving home and going to work on the 'courier-journal. Thus she scooped the big interview with Morgan at a time when he was being fully realist by a dozen New York-star journalists, went down to the bottom of the Golden Gate in a diver's suit and flew with Rood, the "What do they want to come butting into the game for?" bird man, when he broke all records of continuous flight by reaching as far as Riverside. Now, it must not be imagined that Sand Singer was a hard bitten Amazon. On the contrary, she was a gray eyed, slender young woman of three or four and twenty, of medium stature and possessing uncommonly small hands and feet for an outdoor woman or any other child of a woman. Also, far in excess of most outdoor women, she knew how to be daintily feminine. It was on her own suggestion that she received the editor's commission to interview Pat Glendon. With the exception of having caught a glimpse once of Bob Fitzsimmons in evening dress at the Palace grill, she had never seen a prizefighter in her life. Nor was she curious to see one—at least, she had not been curious until young Pat Glendon came to San Francisco to train for his right with Nat Powers. Then his newspaper reputation had aroused her. THE abysmal brute! It certainly must be worth seeing. From what she read of him she gleaned that he was a man monater, profoundly stupid and with the sullenness and ferocity of a jungle boast. True, his published photographs did not show all that, but they did show the burgess of brawn that might be expected to go with it. And so, accompanied by a staff photographer, she went out to the training quarters at the Cliff House at the hour appointed by Stubener. That real estate owner was having trouble. Pat was rebellious. He sat, one big leg dangling over the side of the armchair and Shakespeare's "Bonets", face downward on his knee, crating against the new woman. "What do they want to come butting into the game for?" he demanded. "It's not their place. What do they know about it anyway? The men are bad enough as it is. I'm not a holy show. This woman's coming here to make me one. I never have stood for women around the training quarters, and I don't care if she is a reporter." "But she's not an ordinary reporter," Stubener interposed. "You've heard of the Sangsters, the millionaires?" Pat nodded. "Well, she's one of them. She's high society and all that stuff. She could be running with the Blingum crowd now if she wanted to instead of working for wages. Her old man's worth 80,000,000 if he's worth a cent." "Then what's she working on a paper for--keeping some poor dill out of a job?" "She and the old man fell out, had a tiff or something, about the time he started to clean up San Francisco. She quit, that all-left home and got a job. And let me tell you one thing, Pat. She can everlastingly aling English. There isn't a penpusher on the coast can touch her when she gets going." Pat began to show interest, and Buster hurried on: THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. tation should have bousand, she re- she had soiled her it bringing home a and had declined her own set at for outdoor sports, championship of the empty weeklies agro- nationalities, walked ants Cruz against and once caused a polo in a men's ringling practice she had gone in and a studio in San arter. of little moment form attack became independent, never man in whom she and bored by red, she resented once with her way limax on all her having home and courier Journal. weeks her salary $50.

"I've seen her name in the papers." Pat commented. "Here you have. And you're honored. Pat, by her coming-to-interview you. It won't bother you any. I'll stick right by and give her most of the dome myself. You know I've always done that." Pat looked his gratitude. "And another thing. Pat, don't for- get you've got, so put up with this in- terviewing. It's part of your business. It's big advertising, and it comes free. We can't buy it. It interests people, draws the crowds, and its crowds that pile up the gate receipts." He stopped and listened, then looked at his watch. "I think that's her now. I'll go and get her and bring her in. I'll tip it off to her to cut it short, you know, and it won't take long." He turned in the doorway. "And be de- cent. Pat. Don't shut up like a clam. Talk a bit to her when she asks you questions." Pat put the screen on the table, took up a newspaper and was apparently deep in its contents when the two entered the room and he stood up. The meeting was journal shock. When blue eyes not gray it was al- most as if the man and the woman shouted triumphantly to each other, as if each had found something sought and unexpected. It this was for the instant only. In a masculine use the curtain and the any gallows. In a battling crushed, if what she was no.

Stubener into But later, Pat encountered the be real big, clever or more— On your mottle. "Yes, that's it; care I found it; care in fact. But still it to me as it might Each had antitested in the other something so tenacious different that the next moment the cry of recognition gave way to confusion. As is the way of women, she was the first to achieve control, and she did it without having given any outward sign that he had ever lost it. She advanced in the distance across the floor to meet Glendon. As for him, he seems know how stumbled through the introduction. Here was a woman in a woman. He had not known such a creature could exist. The women he had not had never configured this. He wondered what it was. It’s judgment would have been there if she was the sort he had received to hang on to with both his hands. He discovered that in some way he was holding her hand. He looked at it, curious and animated, marveling at its fragility. She, on the other hand, had proceeded to obliterate the shoes of that first clear call. It had been a peculiar experience, that was all, this sudden outrush of her toward this strange man. For was not be the abysmal brute of the prize ring, the great, fighting, stupid bulk of a male animal who hummered up his fellow males of the same stupid order. She smiled at the way he continued to hold her hand. “I will have it back please, Mr. Glendon,” she said. “I really need it you know.” He looked at her blankly, followed her gaze to her imprisoned hand, and dropped it in a rush of awkwardness that sent the blood in a manifest blush to his face. She noted the laugh, and the thought came to her that he did not keep quite the unmouth brute she had pictured. She could not consolve of a brute blushing at anything. And also, she found herself pleased with the fact that he backed the easy gibbness to murmur an apology. But the way he decoured her with his eyes was disconcerting. He stared at her as if in a trance, while his cheeks flushed even more reddly. Stubber by this time had fetched a chair for her, and Glendon automatically sank down into his. "He's in the shape, Miss Sangster, in fine shape," the manager was saying. "That's right, isn't it? But? Never felt better in your life?" Glendon was bothered by this. His brows contracted in a troubled way, and he made no reply. "I've wanted to meet you for a long time, Mr. Glendon." Miss Sangster "I'll have it back, please, Mr. Glenden," she said. "I never interviewed a pugilist before, so if I don't go about it expertly you'll forgive me. I am sure." "Maybe you'd better start in by seeing him in action," was the manager's suggestion. "While he's getting into his fighting tonight I can tell you a lot about him—fresh stuff too. We'll call in Wish, Pat, and go a couple of rounds." "We'll do nothing of the sort." Glendon growled, roughly, in just the way an abrasal bead should. "Go ahead with the interview." The business went ahead unsatisfactorily. Stainbera did most of the talking and suggesting, which was sufficient to irritate Maud Sangster, while Pat volunteered nothing. She studied his fine countenance, the eyes clear blue and wide apart, the well modelled, almost aquiline, nose, the firm cheek tips that were swept in a masculine way in their curls in the corners and that gave no hint of any gallows. It was a buffling personality, she reminded. If what the papers said of him was no. In vain she sought for marks of the brute. And in vain she attempted to establish contacts. For one thing, she knew too little about priesthood and the ring; and whenever she opened up a lead it was promptly snatched away by the information coding Stubener. "It must be most interesting, this life of a pagist," she said once, adding with a sigh: "I wish I knew more about it. Tell me, why do you fight? Oh, aside from money reasons." (This letter to forestall Stubener.) "Do you enjoy fighting? Are you stirred by it, by pitting yourself against other men? I hardly know how to express what I mean, so you must be patient with me." Pat and Stubener began speaking together, but for once Pat bore his manager down. "I didn't care for it at first"—"You see, it was too dead easy for him," Stubener interrupted. "But later," Pat went on, "when I encountered the better fighters, the real big, clever ones, where I was more"—"On your mettle," she suggested. "Yes, that's it; more on my mettle, I found I did care for it—a great deal, in fact. But still it's not so absorbing to me as it might be. You see, while each battle is a sort of problem which I must work out with my wits and muscle, yet to me the issue is never in doubt"— "He's never had a fight go to a decision," Stubenber proclaimed. "He's won every battle by the knockout route." "And it's this certainty of the outcome that robs it of what I imagine must be its finest thrills," Pat concluded. "Maybe you'll get some of them thrills when you go up against Jim Hanford," said the manager. Pat smiled, but did not speak. "Tell me some more," she urged—"more about the way you feel when you are fighting." And then I am amazed his manager, Miss Sangster and himself by blurting out: "It seems to me I don't want to talk with you on such things. It's as if there are things more important for you and me to talk about. "— "Yes," she cried eagerly. "That's it. That is what makes a good interview — the real personality, you know." But Pat remained tongue tied, and Stubener wandered away on a statistical comparison of his champion's weights, measurements and expansions with those of Sandow, the Terrible Turk Jeffries and the other modern strong men. This was of little interest to Maud Dangster, and she showed that she was bored. Her eyes chanced to rest on the sonnets. She picked the book up and glanced inquiringly at Stubener. "That's Pat's," he said. "He goes in for that kind of stuff and color photography and art exhibits and such things. But for heaven's sake don't publish anything about it. It would ruin his reputation." [TO BE CONTINUED] Find Pin in Appendix.

BEEMAN became an earnest member of a local German class and developed into a very enthusiastic student. It was not long before she learned to read a little German; but the pronunciation of the language was somewhat more arduous. At a recent meeting of the class she afforded them more amusement than they got out of the German humors they were reading. One of the questions in the lesson for the day was, "Are you not glad you are able to learn German?" The answer, which was, of course, in German, was "Ja, gewid," which means "Yes, certainly." When Mrs. Beeman was called upon to read the question and answer she upset the whole class by saying: "Ya, gee whit!"-Detroit Free Press.

By a majority of 80 an amendment for the rejection of the home rule bill was defeated in the house of commons in London, and without division the bill was given for the third time its second reading in the house. The second reading of the home rule bill was carried the first time by a majority of 101, and the second time by a majority of 98. Eight O'Friarities abstained from voting and two Liberals voted against the government. One Nationalist was absent through illness. Three Laborists also were absent, and Charles F. G. Masterman, who had previously voted as a member of the government, lost his seat in the election for Bethnal Green last February. National, Independents, Nationalists and Liberates clashed in partisan debate over the home rule bill. Timothy Healy, the independent Nationalist, charged Mr. Redmond with deluding Ireland. "From Sir Edward Groy's speech announcing there must be an appeal to the electorate before the bill comes into operation," he said, "it is clear that the whole matter is the purest gamble for Ireland. "If the advocacy of conditions made by William O'Brien had been followed instead of calling the Ulsterman 'Orange dogs' and carrion crowns' the question would be much nearer settlement." Mr. Healy then announced that the followers of O'Brien, ten in number, would not vote for the second reading of the bill. The Nationalists, Mr. Redmond said, would have been glad to accept the scheme proposed by Sir Horace Plunkett in February, by which a plebiscite would be taken after a certain number of years on the question whether any section of Ulster desired to continue subject to the Irish parliament. Sir Edward Carson, the Ulster Unionist leader, declared that the government's attempt to "jump" Ulster with naval and military forces had made him skeptical of any reality in its professions of peace and coercion. Sir Edward suggested Mr. Redmond, like the government, was trying to create an atmosphere favorable to himself without an attempt to and a practical compromise. "The talk of federalism," he said, "has not advanced the settlement of the Ulster question an lota." Sir Edward Carson repeated his offer that if the government would agree to allow parliament to decide at the end of the six years' period of exclusion whether or not Ulster should have the continued right of local option he would call an Ulster convention and submit the question to it. --- Torrent Falls: Loss Over 5000 Not only is Pancho Villa's rebel army in undisputed possession of Torreon, Mex., but his army is in close pursuit of the losing Federal army, recently defending the city. The cavalry, under Generals Hornandez and Ortega, sent in pursuit of General Velasco and his seeing Federalals, overtook the rearguard of the Federalals at San Pedro de Los Colonias, and in the fight which followed 100 Federalals were killed and 153 taken prisoners. The rebel losses were not given. Torreon was the last stronghold held by Huerta in northern Mexico. The town, strewn with the dead and wounded of a six-day battle, was occupied by the victorious rebels on the heels of the flying Federalals, the remnants of General Refugio Velasco's army. In all the fighting no foreigner was killed or injured. The losses have not been compiled, but General Villa estimates his own losses at 500 killed and 1500 wounded and the Federal loss at 1000 killed and 2500 wounded, with an unknown number of prisoners. This is by far the largest number of casualties in any of the many battles that have marked the Mexican revolution of the last four years. Venango County, Pa., is "Dry." All of the applications for wholesale and retail liquor licenses in Venango county were refused by Judge George S. Criswell in court at Franklin, Pa., who had granted licenses for eighteen years, and three new applications were made this year. Judge Criswell hasn't disposed of two brewery applications. The applications were refused on the ground that saloons are not necessary, and in this connection Judge Criswell took into consideration the public welfare. The court that falls to do this, he says, falls to, exercise the discretion which it possesses relative to public interest. To regard as proper for consideration only the useful and nonjudgeable functions of a liquor license is to do violence not only to the adjudged law of the state, but to the common sense of men, the judge says Judge Criswell declares that the Brooks high license law does not say it is "lawful" for courts to refuse licenses, but provides that they, "shall" refuse them when they aren't necessary, and the question of necessity is left to the discretion of the court. The Judge admits that the Brooks law is not a local option law, but says it contains a legal option in feature, in that it requires courts to have re Two Die Looking at Fight Patrick Engleman, seventy years old, and Mrs. Daniel Arsenault, sixty years old, of Espencer, them dropped and from fright in the street in Worcester, Mass., as they witnessed a three-cornered sight between Martin Niederberger, a chauffeur, and Stanley Oratt and Charles Banes, the employee of a cereal company. Orutt and Bannon, while distributing samples, had called at the home of Walter Watson, Niederberger's employer. Mrs. Watson claims she was insulted by one of the men and informed her husband. Watson and Niederberger started out after the two distributors, and located them at the trolley waiting station. A sight followed and Mr. Engleton, who was waiting for a car, collapsed from fright and died. Mrs. Arsenault sank to the floor of the station and died. Twelve Reserve Banks Named. The twelve districts and twelve reserve cities of the federal reserve banking system authorized by the new currency law were announced by the organization committee. This is the first formal step to be taken in the organization of the new banking system. The cities that are to have federal reserve banks are: New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Richmond, Va.; Atlanta, Chicago, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Dallas, Tex.; San Francisco and Kansas City. Twelve districts are outlined, with these cities as financial centers, it being required that the reserve bank of each district shall subscribe to a minimum of $4,000,000 of capital in the reserve system. Gets $50,000 For Loss of Extra A verdict awarding $0,000 to Natt Yurkun for the loss of both eyes was returned in the United States district court in Brooklyn, N. Y., a district the Delaware, Lackawanna and West ern railroad. This is said to be the largest verdict ever obtained in New York state for an injured workman. Yurkun was working in the "railroad company's Pettitone coal mine at Luzerne, Pa. when he was injured by the explosion of a south of fuse in a powder bale. March Guilty of Murder George H. March was found guilty of murder in the first degree at Media, Pa., for the killing of S. Lewis Pinkerton, an Edgmont township tax collector and farm manager, by whom March was employed. The jury had deliberated for more than thirty-six hours and several times had returned to the court room for further instructions. Pinkerton was slain in a barn on Nov. 7, 1913. His body was later found buried in a woods five miles distant. "Rube" Waddell Is Dead. George Edward ("Rube"), Waddell, the famous ball pitcher, formerly a member of the Philadelphia Athletics, died in San Antonio, Texas. He had been ill for a long time of tuberculosis. Waddell was the most eccentric and unreliable pitcher in the country, but the most effective when in shape. He was born in Bradford, Pa., in 1875. Waddell went to the Bradford schools, but paid more attention to base ball than his education and early won repon as a twirler of phenomenal ability. In 1897 he went to Volant college and later in the year joined Louisville. in 1898 he was with Detroit and Homestead, Pa.; with Columbus and Louisville in 1899; with Pittsburgh and Milwaukee in 1900, and with Chicago and Los Angeles in 1901. Connie Mack took a trip to Los Angeles in 1902 and was so favorably impressed with his work that he made him a big offer to jump to the Athletics. It was his wonderful pitching that enabled the Athletics to win the pennant in that year, and he was also a big factor in the 1905 pennant winning team. In 1908 Waddell was sold by the Athletics to the St. Louis American team. For a "Dry" Navy A dry navy is to take the place as the right arm of grape juice diplomacy in the scheme of the Wilson administration. Secretary of the Navy Daniels has signed an order which absolutely prohibits the use or introduction of alcoholic liquors on any vessel of the navy or within the confines of any navy yard or shore station. This order will be issued to the service at once and will become effective on July 1, 1914. Victim of March Hot Wave Dies. George A. Klare, a letter carrier, of Portsville, Pa., who was stricken with the heat while delivering mail during the sudden hot wave in March, which lasted but one day, died from the effects of the stroke. He had been only partly conscious since being stricken. Klare had a weak heart and was obliged to use caution during hot weather, but did not think it necessary to do so in March. Dynamite Refused to Explode. The town of Bath, Pa., had a narrow escape from being blown off the map when a carload of dynamite was wrecked at the switch south of here. The force of the collision caused the freight car to fall completely to pieces and scatter the dynamite, yet not one stick exploded. Sanate Cuts Out Telegrams By a vote of 47 to 4 the senate do- prived itself completely of the privilege of sending telegrams on official or other business at the government's expense. Senators O'Gorman, Oliver, Tillman and Lippitt voted against the resolution. Named by President. President Wilson sent to the senate the nomination of Richard H. Mann, of Petersburg, Va., to the United States attorney for the eastern district of Virginia. --- U. S. BATTLESHIPS SENT TO TAMPICO Insist on Public Apology For Insult When American Marines Were Arrested by Mexican Federal Commander. A general concentration of the Atlantic fleet at Tampico, Mexico, was ordered by Secretary of the Navy Daniel lea after a cabinet meeting in which President Wilson laid before the cabinet the necessity for backing up the demand of Rear Admiral Mayo that the American flag be saluted by the Huerta commander there. The Atlantic fleet is under command of Rear Admiral Badger and comprises the second strongest fleet in the world. In addition to the fleet the 1300 marines at New Orleans, 800 of whom were on their way to Philadelphia, when stopped, have been ordered to Tampico at once. Naval experts in Washington stated that a single broadside from the fleet would blow all the Tampaico fortifications, to pieces. It is not believed however, that the fleet will do anything more at present than make a hostile demonstration. No shots will be fired unless congress authorizes a declaration of war. The cabinet had discussed the situation in a two-hour meeting and the consensus of opinion was that the Washington government should insist on a salute. After the meeting there was a conspicuous silence on the part of all officers, and Secretary Daniels hurried to the navy department, where he prepared a memorandum of naval orders. This action followed an earlier announcement that further investigation of the arrest of the United States marines at Tampaico had been decided upon. It was learned that Charge d'AF fairs O'Shaughnessy had reported that the Huerta government actually had promised to fire a salute to the Dolph phin, but conditioned it on a salute of response. The American government, it is understood, has set forth, through Mr. O'Shaughnessy, that it wished a public salute to the colors without conditions. No time limit for the salute has been fired or is likely to be, it was said on high authority. President Wilson and Secretary Bryan, it was said, are not disposed to regard time as essential, but are insistent that a public salute must be fired. It became known that Senor Algarra charge of the American embassy in Washington, called personally on Secretary Bryan, had Saturday and transmitted the apology of President Huerta for the Tampico incident. Secretary Bryan reiterated to Senor Algarra at that time that the United States would insist on the American flag being sutured at Tampico. Officials said that while no ultimatum had been issued to the Huerta government, the mobilization of the fleet at Tampico was intended to put the United States in position to enforce one should the immediate developments make it necessary. MEXICO'S INSULT TO U. S. Incident That·Has Brought on the Acute Criele. The incident which led to the war like action of the United States government toward Mexico happened on April 9. The paymaster of the U. S. S. Dolphin and a fall whaleboat crew landed near the turtlebridge bridge, Tampico, this being within the Federal lines and also within the some of operations. Colonel Hinojoe, the Federal guard commander, ordered the men detained and brought before him, whereupon all were arrested by Mexican soldier, including several who remained in the boat from which the flag was flying. All were taken before Hinojoe, who questioned them regarding their purpose within Federal lines in modern during active operations. The paymaster explained that he had landed to obtain gunfire, whereupon Hinojoe ordered them escorted back to the boat and released. United States General Miller judge dially protected to General Marion Maragon, the port commander, who arrested Hincjone personally and verbally expressed regret over the incident. Rear Admiral Moya, who did not consider this sufficient, asked for a formal apology, the punishment of Hincjone and a spike of twenty-one guns to the American flag before his arrest when afternoon. When the time had expired it was thought of Washington that the incident had been adjusted to Admiral Moya's mindlessness; but it developed that the Madman idea of a civilized apology did not meet those of the American commander. The officer then took on a nervous aspect. Some Startling Information Some Startling Information "There are none so blind as those who will not see" Colored men must observe high ideals and act in accordance with fundamental right principles in order to maintain self-respect, and enlist the sympathy and support of the best people, regardless of color in this country. They cannot properly complain of unfair treatment of themselves by a certain class of white people, and then when vested with power, practice upon each other the very injustice of which complaint is made in others. The opportunities afforded colored men of intelligence and learning in the fraternal organizations of the country should be used to demonstrate our ability for self-government. The best class of white people should be imitated and not the worst classes. When we observe the actions of some of our educated people their conduct is disheartehing. Yet, we know that the great body of the colored people is all right. We were induced to make these remarks after observing the attitude of the officer., of the Supreme Lodge Knights of Pythias, N. A., S. A., E., A., A. and A., at Baltimore last August. In a wild scramble for money, they threw discretion to the winds. Let us see. Unier the laws of the Order each Grand Lodge has exclusive, original jurisdiction over the subordinate lodges and the members attached to the same. The Supreme Lodge or its officers cannot tax the members of a lodge in a state having a Grand Lodge. The Constitution provides a representative tax of $25 on each Supreme Representative to the Supreme Lodge. As no State has less than two Supreme Representatives or more than four, the tax was not less than $50.00 per term or more than $100.00 per term. For this the only return is the password. The salaries and traveling expenses of the Supreme Chancellor and other officers had been increased. The Supreme Keeper of Record and Seal warned the Supreme Lodge of these reckless expenditures and for this he was put out of office. The Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia protested and for this the Supreme Chancellor suspended and put out of the Order, not only the Grand Lodge, but also the subordination lodges and the members attached to the same, although he had no power over any but the Grand Lodge. The new constitution which requires a two-thirds vote to adopt was alleged to have been adopted. One test vote disclosed the fact that there were 51 acres, 14 noses with 63 members of the Supreme Lodge absent. Of the 51 votes, 20 were office-holders and 8 Deputy Supreme Chancellors appointed by Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green, with the power to vote. This loft 23 Supreme Representatives out of an elected membership of 90, all of whom had been in Baltimore to attend the session, but they were tired out, for the Constitution was finally "adopted" after 9 o'clock Saturday night, after a week's deliberations. All that a Grand Lodge receives from the Supreme Lodge is the password. The password is a word framed and promulgated by the Supreme Chancellor. In order to pay high salaries and running expenses, for each Grand Lodge pays its own endowment and defrays its own expenses, the Supreme Lodge with a majority of the elected Supreme Representatives absent made an increase in taxation. It was done under the guise of a ten cent and a five cent tax on each member. As it was only for a pass word, the value of a password may be estimated from the following statement of facts: Alabama's biennial tax was $100. It was changed to $144.00, an increase of $1340.00 per term. Arkansas' biennial tax was $100.00. It was changed to $1,136.20, an increase of $1,026.20. California's biennial tax was $50.00. It was changed to $65.25, an increase of $15.25. Colorado's biennial tax was $50.00. It was changed to $46.50 a decrease of $3.50, but as the membership increases will pass the $100 limit. The District of Columbia' biennial tax was $50.00. It was changed to $58.25, an increase of $8.25. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. Copy of Injunction.

Clerk. assessed biennially ($9,252.75), nine thousand, two hundred and fifty-two dollars and seventy-five cents and the District Deputy Supreme Chancellors are not assessed as much as a penny. The new constitution alleged to have been adopted at the last session requires all Grand Lodges to surrender their present state charters of incorporation and to reincorporate in the name of the Supreme Lodge. This would place all of the real-estate, money in the treasury and other property under the direct control of the Supreme Lodge. It can now be seen why Virginia and her Supreme Representatives were not wanted in the Supreme Lodge. 70. Mississippi's biennial tax was $100.00. It was changed to $1,577. 70. an increase of $1,477.70. Missouri's biennial tax was $100.00. it was changed to $792.75, an increase of $692.75. Maryland's biennial tax was $100.00. It was changed to $300.75, an increase of $200.75. North Carolina's biennial tax was $100.00. It was changed to $608.25, an increase of $508.25. New Jersey's biennial tax was $100.00. It was changed to $240.00, an increase of $140.00. It may be well to enquire how will the Supreme Representatives who were present explain all of these things to their constituents? What induced them to support these measures? Were they asleep, hypnotized or absent when these things took place? Who can defend it? Texas' biennial tax was $100.00. It was changed to $1,500.00, an increase of $1,400.00. Virginia's biennial tax was $100.00. It was changed to $861.90, an increase of $761.90. West Virginia's biennial tax was $100.00. It was changed to $375.00, an increase of $275.00. What is the amount of this taxation? ($18,520.50) Eighteen thousand, five hundred and twenty dollars and fifty cents. How much increase is this new taxation over the old taxation? ($16,124.00) Sixteen thousand, one hundred and twenty-four dollars. What will the Grand Lodges and subordinate lodges receive, in return for this large amount of money paid over to Supreme Lodge officers? The parish word. In fact, how can anybody explain it? If the taxation is increased, then the benefits should be increased. But what did Supreme Keeper of Records and, Seal C. K. Bollinson, who knows more about the internal affairs of the Supreme Lodge than any other person in the United States tell the Supreme Lodge? In his report, he said: This is not all. At the session of the Supreme Lodge at Indianapolis the Supreme Chancellor appointed 25 Deputy Supreme Chancellor, giving them the power to vote and extending to them the voting strength of six states, some of which paid high as $2,400.00 per term for the pane-word. This was in violation of the Constitution of the Supreme Lodge. "At the last session, warned you of the condition which confronted you and urged you to prepare to meet the ordee. The conservative man of the convention saw the impending danger and sought to correct it by presenting remedy after remedy, all of which efforts failed. I have no criticism to offer us to the action of the majority at that time, but I feel it my mission duty to again call your attention to the deployable condition of your treasury at this time. The interest of the officers of the Supreme League have not been paid since September, 1913 and when the question concerns of Baltimore, you will find an enormous detail, that can only be met by who legislature, and proper regulation of exporum."*The Order The records show that 14 Deputy Supreme Chancellors were appointed by the Supreme Chancellor at Baltimore last August. He and previously ruled that they had the right to vote. These twenty-four Chancellors, if present at the next session of the Supreme Lodge will have the voting power equal to that of Armenia, Georgia, Michigan, Texas, Tennessee, and Alabama. These six states, according to the Supreme quoted will be ASHLEY M. GOULD Justice. 10 West Leigh Street, Richmond, Virginia.

Robinson was put out of office and the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia, that backed up his plea for retrenchment and reform was put out of the Supreme Lodge. Was the Grand Lodge, K. of P. put back into the Supreme Lodge? Yes, by the Supreme Court at Washington How was this done? Because the Supreme Lodge, being incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia is subject to the courts there This Supreme Court is higher than the Supreme Lodge. Has Virginia paid the unlawful tax levy? No, but it has tendered all of the money for lawful tax levies, which amount was $100.00. Can the Supreme Lodge officials disregard the injunction and keep the Grand Lodge K. of P. of Virginia out of the Supreme Lodge? No, not during the pendency of this suit or until the Supreme Court revokes the restraining order or injunction What will be the result if other Grand Lodges refuse to pay the unlawful taxes? They can be suspended by the Supreme Chancellor and their charters revoked by the Supreme Lodge. Can they get back into the Supreme Lodge again, without paying the unlawful taxes? Oh, yes, they can come back by the "injunction route." Just as Virginia has done and at much less cost. In fact, it would be cheaper to get the injunction than it would be to pay the tax. What is the penalty for violation of an injunction? Fine or imprisonment or both. The Supreme Court usually metes imprisonment, commonly known as "jail punishment." What is the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia's contention? That it has paid all taxes lawfully assessed against it. It refuses to pay any taxes unlawfully assessed against it. How shall the question be settled? By the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, at Washington, which upon the plea of the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia is investigating the facts and will render a decision in keeping with its findings. Can the facts herein cited be verified? Yes. Where? By examining the minutes of the Supreme Lodge at Baltimore and by reading the Supreme Statutes, alleged to have been adopted at the same session. Is the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia in favor of peace? Yes, and it believes this is the surest way of getting peace. We conclude with the words of Bunyan: "I have determined the Almight God being my help and my shield—yet to suffer; if frail life might continue so long, even until the mos shall grow over my eye-brows, rather than violate my faith and my principles." Dispeased: Cuts Throat Sitting against a boulder in Nay-Aug park, in Scranton, Pa., heading a constable's bill of sale for his household goods, Charles King, sixty-seven years old, was found bleeding to death from four cuts in his throat. King had been put out of his house and the furniture sold for rent. He cut his throat with a razor. It is said he will recover. JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER. JR. ```markdown ``` John D.'s Millone Back Open Shop. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., son of the richest man in the world, testified before the house mines committee in Washington about the question of his moral responsibility for the industrial strife which has kept the coal fields of southern Colorado in turmoil for six months. After more than four hours of cross-examination Mr. Rockefeller had told the committee: That he and three other directors represented his father's interest of about 40 per cent in the Colorado Fuel and Iron company, central figure in the big coal strike. That as a director he had fulfilled all of his interest and responsibility in the company when he placed the officers, "competent and trusted men," in charge of the company's affairs. That he knew nothing of conditions in the strike district except from reports of the officers of the company. That the strike had become a fight for the "principles of freedom of labor," and that he and his associates would rather that the present violence continue "and that they lose all of their millions invested in the coal fields, rather than that American workingmen should be deprived of the right under the constitution to work for whom they pleased." That he favored arbitration in industrial disputes generally, but that in the present instance he supported the officers of the company in their refusal to submit the question of unionizing the mines to arbitration.

Man Who Robbed Altoona Bank Leaves Flippant Note For District Attorney, "See Me Later, F. G. C." Frank G. Carroll, alias Wilson, a product of Tin Can alloy, Harrisburg, Pa., the confessed bandit, who robbed the Union bank in Altoona and shot Cashier A. S.P. Rupert and Pennsylvania Railroad Foreman W. E. Blackburn, on March 23, wriggled through a six-inch window opening in his cell in the jail in Holidaysburg, Pa., on Saturday night, climbed with the dexterity of a circus athlete up the outer wall to the roof and then slid down a forty-foot rope made of his bed clothing to the street. He then walked to the district attorney's office, directly opposite the court house, and scrawled with a nail on the brick under the window of the commonwealth's guardian this parting message: "See me later—F. G. C." Nearby residents say a high-powered motor car was stationed in the street close to the jail at midnight and that the prisoner had the aid of accomplices in his successful dash for freedom. The greatest vigilance had been exercised by the county authorities in imprisoning Carroll. He was placed in a cell behind double doors and a guard patrolled the jail yard below his window throughout the night. Carroll's only aid within the cell to escape was a bar of soap. With this soap he greased his naked body and the six-inch slit in the window, wrigled cell fashion through the narrow opening, and then, hatless, clad only in pajamas and bedroom slippers, fled to the recesses of the Allegheny mountains. His escape was not discovered until five hours later. Thousands of people have visited the recent fall home of the bandit, and the detectives and officers have spread a police dragnet within a radius of 100 miles around Holidaysburg for his ennaring. Carroll last week signed papers, in which he plead guilty to a multitude of crimes of sufficient gravity to constrain him to the penitentiary for fifty years. Judge Thomas J. Baldridge arrived home from Atlantic City and would have sentenced him in court on Monday. A reward of $1000, offered for his capture, will be paid to the chief of police of Salem, Ohio. The Blair court commissioners will offer a reward for his second capture. His wife and alleged accomplice in his sensational exploits is ill and is now in the custody of officers at Salem; Obto. Ex-Convict Killed Man For Revenge. Found dying, with a bullet wound, self-inflicted, in his breast, in the vacant summer retreat of the Convent of Notre Dame, near Moylan, Pa., a negro known as Walter Smith and also as Richard Jones, of Media, and who had been paroled from the eastern penitentiary on March 10, was arrested and placed in jail, suspected of murdering William H. McKniff in Media on Wednesday evening. A reward of $1500 has been offered for his arrest. The police believe that the motive of the killing was revenge, as McKniff was the son of former Police Chief James E. McKniff, who arrested Smith four years ago, after a struggle, in the home of former United States Marshal John B. Robinson. The younger McKniff was shot in front of the Robinson home. It was reported at the jail in Media that, Smith had confessed this, and had said he had intended to "get" the father, who is seventy nine years old. Falling in that, he shot the son. Smith was, found, weak from the loss of blood, and grooming in pain in a bed on the second floor of the convent by John L. Fox, of Media, a plumber, and three other men. He was in his underclothing. On the floor was found a revolver of Bismarck bore, the same size as the weapon with which McKniff was shot. In a burglar in a room nearby were servants of his clothing which he had beloved. In the burg were found also pieces of letterheads which are believed to have been those of the Burdell & Adams company, of Media, cigar manufacturers by whom McKniff was employed. Papers of this kind were taken from McKniff after he had been shot down. Jock Johnson Wins Repeat Jack Johnson Wins Appoint. The United States Court of Appeals in Chicago on Tuesday reversed the judgment of the lawyer, court in contending Jack Johnson, the negro persecutor, to the pentagonist for one year and one day on wrong-payment charges and granted the lawyer a new trial. Johnson was also held liable. This is no surprise.

GUNMEN PAY DEATH PENALTY Electrocuted in Sing Sing For Rosenthal Murder. "DAGO FRANK" CONFESSED An Hour Before He Was Executed He Named Harry Vallon, "Lefty Louie" and "Gyp the Blood" as the Actual Murderers of the Gambler. The four gunmen paid the death penalty in the electric chair in Sing Sing prison at Oschling, N. Y., Monday morning for the murder of Herena Rosenthal, the gambler, in New York. They were Harry Horowitz, alias "Gyp the blood," Louis Repennberg, alias "Tatty Leafie," Jacob Seldon schenner, alias "White Leafie," and Frank Crotel, alias "Duro Frank." They were taken shortly from their cells, and four solenium proximen marched down the corridor to the death room, where they met their fate without finishing. Three of them were attended by Jewish rabbis, while Frank Crotel was attended by a Catholic priest. The witnesses of the execution were limited to the number required by law, and all passport off without any unusual incidents. "Whittey Lewis" wrote a statement which he asked the representative of a Jewish newspaper to publish as a warning. "There are many boys on the East Side," he said, "who are well brought up, and who have good parents who do not look out for the company they get in. Bad company is the cause of their fall. 'They get a bad record, no matter whether they are guilty or not they will be framed up. Keep away from bad company, is the last mess sage I can send to Jews." To say their last farewells to the doomed men their families came late Sunday evening, and there were touching scenes when they finally parted from their young wives, who had ex-hauled every possible means to save them from death. An hour before he was executed "Dago Frank," was taken out of the death house into another part of the prison. In the room to which he was taken were his mother, his sister, Wardon Clancy, the principal keeper, Melner ney, and Pather Cushin, Catnolle chap lain of the prison. At that time he was on the verge of collapse. He was able, however, to make his statement, and this state ment was taken down and signed by himself and by Clancy, the prison war den. The statement was sent to Gover nor Glynn, at Albany. At the start of his confession Cloelial told how "Sain" Schepps, "Jack" Rose and Vallon went to his flat in Harlem on the night of the murder He went back with them to "Bridge" Webber's gambling place at Forty-sec end street and Sixth avenue. There they met the three other gunmen. He said that he left the other gunmen in "Bridgle" Webber's place because he received word that his girl had been arrested uptown. He wanted to get her out of jail. He insisted that as a result, he was not present at the shooting, and then declared that the shots that killed Rosenthal were fired by "Letty Louie," "Gyp the Blood" and Harry Vallon. "Whitey Lewis," he said, did not fire a shot because his gun missed fire. He declared here and at other stages of his statement that he had never heard of Charles Becker in the case, that none of the gunmen knew of Becker having any connection with the plot to kill Rosenthal. It was recalled that the testimony at the trial showed that the gunmen never heard of Charles Becker in their murderous transaction. FIVE "Dugo Frank" said the day following the crime he received one-fourth of $1000 for the murder. Clancy, as soon as he could, talked with Governor Glynn on the telephone and told him of the statement. He asured the governor that what "Dad Frank" said made it certain that there had been no miscarriage of justice. PAID DEATH PENALTY. The Four Gunmen Who Were Electrocuted In Bing Bing. JOHN H.

Big League Stories By CHARLES E. VAN LOAN II.-SWEENEY TO SANGUINETTI TO SCHULTZ From "The Ten Thousand Dollar Arm and Other Tales of the Big League" Copyright, 1912, by Small, Maynard & Company WEENEX to Sauguntelli to Schultz." Thus it used to appear in the box score summary of the games in which SWEENEY to Sanguinetti to Schultz. "Thus it used to appear in the box score summary of the games in which the old Mudhens took part. Sometimes, of course, it was "Sanguinetti to Sweeney to Schultz," which was a mere matter of inconsequential detail, depending upon which side of the bag the ball was hit. If anything of a chain lightning nature was due to happen in the infield it was a certainty that it would be started by the Irishman, pushed along by the Italian and finished by the German. As for the third baseman, he was only a married man, with three children and a touch of rheumatism in his right knee. He did not count. The real stars of the Mudhens infield were Sweeney, Sanguinetti and Schultz. Whether it was the red headed, fighting Mick at short who first got his hands on the ball or the nervous, temperamental Italian at second, it was always the mountain of a Teuton at first who closed the incident with a sweep of his broad; flat mitt. Sweeney and Sanguinetti were wonders at starting things, but whenever they started something which they could not stop they yelled for Schultz. That was when Schultz shone. He was a noble fighter, that German first baseman. This was just as true off the diamond as on, for the three were as closely allied in their hours of busy leisure as when they were working at their trade. That was what caused all the trouble. Sweeney. Sanguinetti and Schultz were too much together—too much together for their own good and the good of the club. When they were together they went hunting for trouble—that is to say, Sweeney wished to find trouble, and Sanguinetti told him where to look for it. After they had found it and amused themselves with it for awhile they turned it over to Schultz. He knew what to do with trouble, that big German. For three years the trio lasted, skating on the thin edge of suspensions, managerial lines and police court proceedings. For three years they whipped policemen, taxi mahouts, waiters, and cab drivers. They demoralized towns and teams; they split the league wide open, and then, just as they had made up their minds to reform, the overstrained hair parted, the sword flashed, and calamity fell upon them as a reward for an act of pure heroism —pure, unadulterated heroism, mind you. It doesn't seem right even to this day. From the beginning of the alliance Sweeney, Sanguinetti and Schults were "in Dutch" with the management of the club. After a time they grew used to it. The worst thing about Johnny Moore, the manager of the team, was that he had absolutely no sense of humor. He could not see any fun in a combination formed of an Irishman, an Italian and a German. Johnny should not be blamed for that. He was born that way. Sweeney, of course, was the fountainhead of nearly all the devilment which flowed from the coalition. Sweeney had originality, initiative and inventiveness. He was a red headed, square shouldered, freckle-faced young man who came from the gas house district of a great city. He began his career by playing ball upon the crowded streets and dodging policemen who wanted to arrest him for it. He has --- been playing ball and dodging police men ever since. Sweeney was the bright star of the combine, the guiding genius, the trouble boss, a prospector for excitement, an ugly customer in a mixed battle and a terror to unimpress and bone runners who did feet first. Sanguinetti was born on the east side in New York, and there was nothing really Italian about him but his name, his dark, soulful eyes and his artistic temperament. Sanguinetti will present this statement about his temperament, but it is true nevertheless. On the field and off he depended a great deal upon Sweeney's leadership, but Sanguinetti was a sash of lightning when it came to baggage up a load and carrying a play along to the point where the Sita got to fly. There was nothing yellow about Sanguinetti but his teeth, and, while he could not invent new ways of getting little trouble or creating a disturbance, he was over brittle to have them invented for him. He did the best he could, considering his limitations, and what man of me can do more? And Schultz well, he was just Her man Schultz, a German. He was born in the old country, a fact which his tongue seemed unable to forget. He came to America at the tender age of seven, but after twenty years he still talked like a fresh importation from the delicatessen belt. It was not his fault; he simply could not help it. Sweeney used to say that Schultz joined the Irish alliance for protection from the women who wished to marry him. The Mudhens were rather extensively wedded as a team. Sweeney, Sanguetti and Schultz were teachers and hoped so to remain. But this was just one of Sweeney's jokes. The real truth of the matter was that Schultz fought his way into the alliance and never was able to fight his way out again. It happened in St. Louis, where the fans grow peple toward the end of the season and skip pop bottom off the heads of the umbrella. They do this in some other places, too. New York, for instance—only in St. Louis, when they throw at an umbrella they generally hit him. Ask Bill Evans. It was during Schultz's first year with the team and the Mudhens were playing a St. Louis date with the full strength of the company. The second game of the series was a dingdong affair, and the Mudhens won, 1 to 0. In the eighth inning there was quite a celebration. It grew out of a decision at second time. Warner of the St. Louis club started to steal and slid to the bag. Sanguinetti handling the throw. About 9,000 people in the stands thought Rangulnett failed to get the ball on Warner in time. One man on the diamond took the other end of the argument. He was the umbrella, and he called Warner out. The St. Louis players came roaring from the tench, and the fans came roaring from the bleachers. The umpire pelled for the police. It was an unfortunate affair all around, for the next batter spanked out a double which would have scored Warner from second if—but no postmortem. Warner was out. The umpire said so. St. Louis went home to his wife with his collar wilted down, smacking in whispen, blaspheming hoosely. It was a close race that year, and every game counted. That evening Sweeney and Sangulnett started out to examine into the electric lighting system of the city. "Wherever we see plenty of light," said Sweeney, "we will go in and see what it is all about." "You said it for me, too, Larry," remarked Sanguetti. Along about 11 o'clock the two ball players strolled into a place which they had evidently overlooked in their earlier rounds. The white aproned gentleman with the curly bang built low upon his forehead was requested to arrange a brace of intricate beverages, the construction of which demanded a shaker, plenty of ice, the white of an egg—some other trifles. If Sweeney and Sanguetti had looked about them they would have seen Herman Schultz sitting at a table in a far corner, thoughtfully concealing a tall goblet of dark, foreign looking brew. In like manner Schultz overlooked his teammates. No German can drink a genuine imported beer and keep an eye out for his friends at the same time. While Sweeney and Sanguinetti were standing peacefully at the bar waiting for the artist to produce twin masterpieces, the door opened and in came seven naked young men wearing No. 6 hats and No. 10 collars: One of them, a dish faced person with an undershot jaw, recognized Sanguinetti. He gathered his clan at the far end of the bar and spoke in a low tone. Then, with the dish faced youth in front, the newcomers moved forward in a body. "Hey! You're that wop second baseman, ain't you!" Thus the leader saluted Sanguinetti, who turned with his back to the bar and dropped his right hand to his side. Sweeney took his elbows off the rail and looked over his shoulder. "Well," said Sanguinetti pleasantly, "what's it to you? What if I am?" "Oh, nothing." said the dish faced person. "Nothing. Only you never put the ball on Warner this afternoon. That was a rotten, dirty steal." Sanguinetti, with one eye on the dish faced party, estimated the strength of the attacking force. Seven to two-odd odds should be shorter. A chore of growls came from the six young men: "Naw! He never even come close!" "Warner ald under the ball!" "This wop couldn't tag an elephant in an alley!" Sweeey faced about. "Be a-ay-ay," be remarked, "what's eating you guys?" You looking for something? That was what Ranguineitl had been waiting for. His leader had spoken. It was to be war, then. Oh, very well! "You say I didn't tag this bird today?" said Ranguineitl softly. "Well, I'll tell you the truth now. I didn't, but I'm going to tag-yee-" Flat and word inked at the same time, and down wrest the dish fused person in a dip heap, wondering in a dreadful frown, and hung up. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. It was a little little party while it lasted. Sweeney did the best that it was in him, landing his leather hat with tremendous execution, and Sanguinetti began to pump rights and leaks into every strange face in sight. Sanguinetti did not last long. The dish faced person on the floor, recovering consciousness, identified Sanguinetti's legs and attached himself to them with such force that the second baseman pitched head first to the doughnut. That made it bad—very bad—and it might have been worse but for the fact that the attacking party was suddenly split into two sections by a gigantic young man, who bellowed like a bull. "Gif it to 'um, Sweeney?" be yelled. "Knock 'um owit!" It was Schultz to the rescue, and just in the nick of time. He planted a terrific kick in the midsection of the dish faced person, who was trying to get his thumb into Sanguinette's eye, and in the second baseman jumped to his feet Schultz knocked one of the nozzles up first across the free bounce land with another powerful blow that dropped a second one kicking not to the door. There wasn't very much to the better offer that. Three of the seven were the teenagers and they ran, taking one of the swinging doors with them. The others were on the floor. Two of them could draw and they crawled for the room. "The boys!" pointed Sweetey. "Let's beat it." "Hey!" shouted the bartender. "Ain't you going to pay for these drinks?" Even as that question being quivering in the air the ball players vanaled through a side door. When the "bull" finally arrived on the scene of battle they found nothing but one very sick young man on the floor. He said he did not know what had happened to him, but method to the belief that some one must have murdered him when his head was turned. Later the ambulance surgeon located three broken rifles—one for Sweeney, one for Sanguinetti and one for Schultz. Of course the bartender didn't know a thing about it—not a thing. Never saw any of them before—hoped he would never see any of them again. That was the way Schultz fought himself into the alliance. Is it any wonder that Sweeney and Sanguinetti received him with open arms? Johnny Moore stood for a great many quiet things in the course of three seasons, for there wasn't a better infield in the whole country, but at last his few remaining grains of patience were exhausted. The international triplets were getting upon his nerves. "Now, listen here!" he said. "I'm going to announce myself. It's all very well for you to be three little pals together and take a drink once in swallow, but this business of raising b — from April 11 October has got to stop! You hear me? It's—got—to—stop! That last jab you got in down to Coney Island was the extreme tip of the limit. The next time I hear of you birds going on a but—the very next time, mind you—down comes the ax! And it won't be a fine or a suspension either. You can jake that in your little brown bats. I will bust up this combination, that's what I'll do, and I'll bust it three ways from the liver! You won't going to make me the goat any more and have everybody saying that I run a rowdy ball club. You start anything now, and I'll set you plumb outside." "The chief is peered," said Sanguinetti to Sweeney. "Who do you suppose put him next to that little run in down at Coney?" "Aw, some trouble detective," said Sweeney wearily. "I thought we had those fellows squared. Day, Nettle, the old man menus business this time. Let's cut out the rough stuff for awhile. We'll be getting ourselves disliked if we don't. Me for the water wagon." "You said it for me, Larry," announced Sanguinetti. "Water wagon she in." Schulz would not climb on with his friends. He said there was no sorrow in it as he drank nothing but beer, anyway, and very little of that. But he warmly applauded the idea of his friends making a trial trip. Schulz was black and blue from the neck to the beak as a result of the last mess of trouble which Sweeney, had found for him, and be welcomed signs of reform. Schulz was not quarrelsome by nature. He was always sad and when down on the floor with three or four perfect strangers. There never was a German who did not agree with Occlie Hilly Sherman about that war business. So the international alliance devoted itself additionally to auction pinnacle and "race horse-pitch." went early to bed and drank nothing but water. Schulz having been persuaded against his better judgment, Johnny Moore could hardly believe his senses. Fate deceived that the blow which was to fall upon the alliance should fall in St. Louis, the place of its origin. It came about through Sanguinetti's fatal fondness for the theater. The second manman was passionately devoted to the work, the breakin' and the pink flirtings—unfitting so long as it was a "abow" of some sort. As for sweetness, he demanded girls and music, but principals girls. Musical comedy was his pet attraction. Sensults had no love for the drama in any form, and musical comedy made also very tired, but he had formed the habit of traveling with the others, so he took his medicine uncomplainingly, like the good fellow he was. When the Madness arrived in St. Louis upon the trip selected by dummy, Sanguinetti, sensing the morning papers, announced that a new musical comedy was being produced at a house where he said he "thus was good." "We'll go around and look 'em open," said Sanguinetti. "You and me both," said Sweeay. Schultz ground, but said nothing. That evening Langoustett pressed himself at the street window and shook hands with the treasurer of the house. "I are you, boy!" said the treasurer. "What to see the show?" "Susan." "Well, the best I can do for you is an upper single box. It's the one we set apart for members of the profes- The thought Sanguinetti Failed to Get the Ball on Warner In Time. Theought Sanguinetti Failed to Get the Ball on Warner In Time. [Posed by Speaker, Red Box, and Fletcher, Glanta] sion. It isn't likely I have to put any one in there with you. You're actors, all right, at that—bad actors." "Good news, says Mrs. Hughes" remarked the treasurer. He scripted a few hieroglyphics upon the back of an envelope and passed three coupons through the window, and Sweeney, Sangulnett and Schultz, led by the finger of fate, disappeared through the lobby. If their seats had been anywhere else in the house, anywhere but in that upper stage box—but, as we said before, no postmortem. Life is made up of the trivial things, the petty decisions, the trivial details which make or mar the future. And we never know until afterward and then, it is too late. Having guided the three ball players to their seats the machinery of destiny began to revolve rapidly. While the first act was in progress, Schultz, half sleep in the back of the box, was amazed to see a young lady enter, look about her disdainfully, sniff a few times, and take a seat as far away from him as possible. She was all of five years old. "Hey! Look who's been!" said Schultz. Sweeney and Sanguinetti were surprised tour Sanguinetti thought the young lady might be lost. He asked her about it. She regarded him with scorn. "Lost!" said the young lady. "Well, I sh'd say not! I sing with my mamma in the third act. It's the hit of the piece." "Oh!" said Sweeney. "Is mamma an actress?" "She's the principal boy with this show," announced the little stranger. "Walt till you see her. She's got the rest of these troupers beat to death!" "I'm going to duck," announced Schultz suddenly. "She's singing up her in dis box, unt re give a twirlowit!" "Bick around," said Sweeney. "It won't come off until the last act." Schultz collapsed, mumbling, and the young lady amused her stuffy skirts and suffled contentiously. Destiny, in order to play out the hand, was using the press agent of the house. A press agent is a young man whose business it is to get the name of his show into print as often as possible, no matter what the city editors think about him. This press agent, whose name was Harley Q. Walker, was a live wire. He was the live wire in St. Louis. He kept in touch with the dolls of his professional brother in the seat, and when a new press agent stunt appeared on Broadway Harley Q annexed it for St. Louis. Consequently when a baby elephant walked down the stile of a New York theater and handed a bouquet over the footlights to the leading lady Walker knew about it. Great idea! Bully stuff! But baby elephants are scarce, and none was to be found in St. Louis. What to do now? Harley Q. slapped his brood, high forehead, and reflected deeply. Aha! There was a troupe of performing babies appearing at a summer garden in the city. Mr. Walker was saved. It took some time to make the arrangements. The man who trained the baboons demanded money. It was pointed out to him that he would secure a great deal of advertising, which was better than money. After some talk he enlisted. Then the baboons had to be trained to march down the alley, carrying bouquets. There were eight of them, and they were particularly honesty brutes; but, like most unbandsome people, they were sagacious. They took to the bouquet carrying act like Forty-second street Johnsons. Excellent! Mr. Harley Q. Walker was pleased with himself, the management was pleased with him, and the newspaper men would be on hand to watch the parade of the flowering baboons. Mr. Walker, calculated that it should be worth a column and pictures to every paper in town. We now have thirteen characters in the cast—Sweeney, Schultz, lengthenit, the little lady in the box, the press agent and the eight taboons. Dusty sent the fourteenth actor in the drama lurching through the doors shortly after the opening of the second act. The fourteenth actor was fat, red in the face and of fitful, troubled eyes. His name makes no difference at all, though he told the police afterward that it was John Smith. An older brother at John Smith doubtfully as he treated him in the very last row upon an aisle. "Keep your eyes on that scene," he warned his companion. John Smith coined into his act. He found the music soothing and, with a series of nervous jerks and quivers, fell upstairs and dreamed of strange animals. In the upper stage box Langoustie and lawyer directed out over the rail trying to flirt with the third one from the end. Aircrafts stowed firmly, for he was tired, having staged up north on the train. The night button. The scuffled little lady counted the house and saluted. "Got in the lobby Mr. Walker and the trainer marveled the eight flower bearing bibbons." "The house is dark for the next song," said the press agent, "and that's the time we'd better bend the mounks into their positions. She lights up right after the moon song for the finale of the act. Now, let's see—four mounks to one aisle and four to the other, and you're to send 'em down with the flowers after the third curtain call. The newspaper man are all down in front." "Did you give 'em my picture?" asked the trainer anxiously. "Surest thing you know!" lied Harley Q. glibly. "They'll probably want to interview you afterward." They did too. "All right," said the trainer. "All set? Hup! You, Hattling Nelson, quit that?" Butting Nelson, a blond baboon with a blue face, and pink whiskers, showed his teeth in a deprecatory smile, and the procession began to move. The lights were low when the flower bearers entered the auditorium. The stage was deserted, save for a very big woman with a very little voice, who was singing a song to a greenish property moon. The house was absolutely quiet save for the vocal struggles of the large lady upon the stage. At that very moment John Smith, dreaming of pink lizards and purple mice, awoke with a short and a gurgle. He jerked his head about to make sure of his surroundings, and in the shadowy gloom of the place his astounded eyes rested upon a solemn procession of dog faced apes with bouquets in their bands. The baboons were passing along the runway behind the last row of seats, and they were to close that John Smith might have touched them. Now, every one knows that when a man is accustomed to pink lizards and purple mice, baboons with roses in their hands are a terrible shock to his nervous system. John Smith feeped to his feet with a bodee hood of terror, and even as he yelled he launched a tremendous kick at the baboon nearest to him. Then everything happened at once. You can kick a baboon if you see him first, but you cannot make him like it. A baboon is sensitive. He doesn't look it, but you never can tell from the color of a baboon's face what his disposition may be. Two baboons and three ushers hurled themselves upon John Smith, who began to fight like a maniac, screaming at the top of his voice. Those in the back of the house had jumped to their feet with the first reel. Now Smith's cries were mixed with the chattering and barking of the eight baboons. Down in front a woman began to scream hysterically. It was her voice which stamped the six baboons who had up to that point taken no part in the battle. One of the brutes sprang upon the railing and spared for the footlights over the beads of the people, and as be went be used his shear of American Beauties as a club. The other baboons followed him, shrieking and chattering like crazy things. One baboon would have been enough to create a disturbance; eight of them complicated the situation somewhat. A panic resulted. Men and women were swept out of their seats and carried in a wave toward the front of the house. The alces were full of struggling, screaming human beings, and behind them came the baboons, like hairy furles. From their seats in the upper box Sanguinetti and Sweeney could not see what was causing the excitement. They saw only the panic swirling down the alces toward the orchestra pit. "Hell's loose in the back of the house!" aboutted Sweeney above the clamor. "Let's jump down on the stage and beat it out of the back door." "You said it for me!" yelled Sanguinetti excitedly. Just then the scornful little lady called attention to her presence with a succession of piercing screams. "Mamma, mamma!" she wailed. "We can't leave this poor kid here," said Sweeney. "Got to take her along somehow." He picked the child up in his arms, and she clung to him, still screaming with fright. "It's all right now," said Sweeney. "It's all right. Cheese on the nose, little one. We'll get you to your mamma. Herman." "Vot is?" demanded the big German. "Herman, you jump down on the stage. Sangulnetti, you drop into the box below here. I'll pass the kid along to you and you toss her to Schultz; I'll follow. Quik, now." It was the commanding officer speaking, and, like trained soldiers, Schultz and Sangulnetti ayed. By this time the uprone in the back of the house had begun to subside, but the sight of two men leaping from an upper stage box did not tend to restore public confidence. One of the men had jumped on the stage. A third man appeared in an upper box with a child clamped in his arms. "Now then!" he yelled. "Sweaway to Sangulnetti to Schultz! All set!" Sangulnetti braced himself against the rail below. "Shoot her along!" he cried. Sweaway leaned far out over the rearing abyss, with the squirting screaming child balanced in his muscular hands. A loud shout of protest woke up from the maze of humanity jammed into the slaves. Swampy gagged distance and drop with a practiced eye, and the pull of waving changed to a gag on the little white handle flanked downward. Sanguinetti caught the child shortly about the way wrist and, with one rattle of the powerful shout, must her lying over the floorlight to recline. And that put the Basking tooth to the peak, for it showed the crowd a way out of the place. In less than ten seconds the stage BROWN BROTHERS. Suspects to Johns T. Brown.

Sanguinetti and Schultz trotted down an alley, chuckling to themselves. "And nobody but us could have done it so slick." and Sweeney. "I wonder how you'd score that play?" They found out in the morning. They found out in the morning. You might think that an affair of that sort would give a press agent pause, so to speak. Nothing of the kind. Harley Q. Walker needed an alibi badly, also a scapegoat, and fate sent him three of the best little scapegoats that ever went bleating into the wilderness. In some subtle way, known only to press agents and diplomats, Walker contrived to cast most of the blame for the entire affair upon the battle scarred shoulders of Sweeney, Banguinetti and Schultz. Tees: he admitted that there had been a trifling disturbance in the back of the house, but that was nothing. It would have blown over in a minute and the people would have gone back to their seats but for the melodramatic homepage introduced by three rowdy ball players who belonged to a visiting team. "They're bad fellows," explained Walker to the newspaper men. "They're always getting sounded and creating a row. Look up their records if you don't believe me. Why, they might have killed that poor little kid, throwing her around like that. Her mother is going to sue for heavy damage—shock to the kid's nervous system and all that sort of thing. And there wasn't any excuse. Hand it to 'em good and pliant.'" Johnny Moore read all the papers every morning in bed. This was one of the front page headlines which greeted him: RODY BALL PLAYERS CREATE PANIC IN THEATER! This was another: SWERNEY, SANGUINETTI AND SCHULTZ AGAIN GO ON A RAMPAGE! And this was the way one of the articles began: Not content with their rowdy conduct on the diamond, three ball players named Sanguinetti, Schultz and Sweney last night broke up a performance of "The Woolly Man" and hurried off to practious lives. As a result several suits for heavy damages may be filed. Reputation can be a fearsome thing at times. Before Sweeney, Sanginetti and Schults rolled out of their beds in the morning the fate of the international alliance was sealed. They rolled out when Johnny Moore sent for them, and they went up on the managerial carpet with clear consciences. They had not seen the morning papers, but Johnny shook them at the culprits as they entered. When the manager got through frothing at the mouth the defendants began to talk to him all at the same time. "A-h-h-h, shut up!" snapped the manager. "Think you can play me for a snucker all the time? This is where I've got you with the goods: I'm going to split this combination so far apart that no two of you will ever be together again. That's what I'm going to do. I wish they had a baseball league in China." Considering the limitations of organised baseball, Moore did fairly well. Sweeney went to Boston, Sangulnett went to Chicago and poor old Schultz remained with the Mudbens. Moore said that Schultz would have been all right but for Sweeney and Sangulnott. And all, mind you, for an act of pureroblem. It doesn't seem right even to this day.

Hilles, chairman of the Republican national committee, made public in New York Tuesday the proposed plan to decrease the percentage of the southern and territorial representation in the Republican national convention in 1916, and thereafter from approximately 35 per cent of the total voting strength to less than 16 per cent, as provided in resolutions adopted by the committee at its meeting last December. The plan is addressed to the Republican conventions of the several states, which are asked to ratify the action of the national body before Jan. 1, 1915. A special committee, composed of C. B. Warren, of Michigan; Senator Borah, of Idaho, and ox-Governor H. D. Hatfield, of West Virginia, drafted the report, which embodies other resolutions adopted by the national committee. These guarantee: Recognition, in the call to be issued for the next national convention, of the right of any state to provide for the election of delegates in direct primaries: The right of any state to elect al. delegates from the state at large, of part from the state at large and part from congressional districts. These provisions were adopted with a view to eliminating contests before the national body, such as in the past have produced discord and dissension. The plan adopted and recommended for ratification provides that the Republican voters in each state shall hereafter be represented in a national convention of the party by four delegates-at-large; two delegates for each representative-at-large in congress; one delegate from each congressional district, and an additional delegate from each congressional district in which the vote of 1908 for any Republican elector or for the Republican nominee for congress in 1914 shall not have been less than 7500. Alaska and the District of Columbia under the plan presented will each be entitled to two voting delegates, while Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Philippine Islands will each be entitled to two delegates without the right to vote. The result of this change in the basis of representation, if ratified by the requisite number of state conventions, will be a decrease of eighty-nine votes, as follows: Alabama will lose eight; Arkansas, three; Florida, four; Georgia, eleven; Louisiana, eight; Mississippi, eight; New York, two; North Carolina, three; South Carolina, seven; Tennessee, three; Texas, sixteen; Virginia, eight; Hawaii, four; Porto Rico, two, and Phillipine Islands, two. MONOPOLY CHARGE DISMISSED Government Fails to Break Up Alleged Combine in Coal Trade The United States court in Trenton, N.J., has filed an opinion dismissing the suit of the United States against the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western railroad and the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Coal company for alleged violation of the commodities clause and the Sherman anti-trust law. The court holds that there is no United States law or decision prohibiting the same set of individuals holding stock in two distinct corporations, even though they may be engaged in kindred business. CATTLE FROM ENGLAND The First Shipment in Nine Months Reached New York. Six hundred and forty-eight head of Jersey and Guernsey cattle, valued at $700,000, arrived in New York on the steamship Minneaska from the British Isles. This is the first shipment of cattle arriving in New York for nearly nine months, importations having been checked by the federal quarantine enforced because of prevalence of disease. The cattle on the Minneaska are consigned to C. S. Cooper, of Cooperburg, Pa., and Frederick Phillips, of Villanova, Pa., and other breeders. GONFESSES BANK ROBBERY Prisoner Admits That He Shot Two Men in Altoona Institution. Frank Carroll, also known as Hohl and Wilson, who is in jail in Hollih Daybury, Pa., in connection with the recent bank robbery in Altoona, conflated to District Attorney Patterson that it was he who shot two men and robbed the United National bank of $2900 ten days ago. Profit in Crop Leone. Secretary of the Treasury McAdoc neglected that all of the loans made by the government to aid crop movements last fall have been paid and that the clear profit of the transaction was $100,000. The banks borrowed only $27,000,000 of the $150,000,000 which Secretary McAdoo declared he would ready to loan if the farmers needed it. CHARLES W. BRYAN.

WINTER WHEAT CROP BIGGEST IN HISTORY The Prospect Is For 649, 000,000 Bushcls. Reports issued by the department of agriculture indicate that the United States this year will have a larger crop of winter wheat by 108,000,000 bushels than in any other year of the country's history. The government estimate of the total winter wheat crop, based on an acreage of 4,807,000, is for 649,800,000 bushels. The largest winter wheat crop in any previous year was about 542,000,000, in 1901. Not in years has the condition of winter wheat been so nearly perfect as it is now, according to the report. This is that the wheat, on April 1, was 95.6 per cent of a normal, as against 97.2 per cent on Dec. 1, and 91.6 per cent on April 1, 1913, and 80.6 per cent on April 1 the previous year. The average condition for the last ten years, on April 1, in 85.7 per cent, while the average decline in the condition of the crop from Dec. 1 to April 1, in the last ten years, has been 3.5 per cent, or more than twice as great as the deterioration has been this year, which was only 1.6. In these statistics the percentage is based upon the total crop that could be obtained if all the wheat planted grew to maturity. Rye also is shown to be in good condition in the report, which says the average on April 1 was 91.3 per cent of a normal, against 95.3 per cent Dec. 1: 89.3 per cent April 1, 1913, and 87.9 per cent April 1, 1912. LEE STOPS RUNAWAY Congressman Saves Woman's Life in Pottaville. Congressman Robert E. Lee risked his life in Pottaville, Pa., to save Mrs. Anna Neovier, a farmer's wife, who would have been dragged to death by runaway horses had he not stopped the team. Congressman Lee was on a trolley car returning from the funeral of Mrs. W. J. McCarthy, at St. Clair, when he saw the horses dash across the Mill creek, bridge, dragging a wagon in which sat a young woman. At a curve the wagon upset, pinning the woman beneath the box. Congressman Lee sprang from the car and ran in front of the horses, stopping them before Mrs. Neovier was seriously injured. FOUR GUNMEN MUST DIE Gov. Glynn Refuses to Stay Execption of Rosenthal's Slayers. Governor Glynn, of New York, in Albany refused to stay the executions of the four gunmen convicted along with Lieutenant Becker of the murder of Herman Rosenthal, the gambler. Lieutenant Becker has already been granted a new trial. The four who must pay the penalty in the death chair are: "Dago Frank" Cirofct, "Gyp the Blood" Harry Horowitz, "Whitey Lewis," Jacob Seidenher, and "Letty Louis" Rosenberg. They are condemned to die during the week of April 13.

SEALER CARRIED CREW OF 173 The Funeral Vessel Bellaventure, With Fifty-eight Boddies Aboard, Caught in Ice Floes. Blocked by the great masses of floating ice and unable to make progress in the blinding snow and against a terrific gale talt is sweeping St. Johns, N. E., rescue ships failed in their efforts to go to the aid of the Southern Cross, imprisoned somewhere in the ice floes, together with 173 members of her crew. Fears that the sealer has been crushed and that her crew has been frozen to death or are lost on the fields of floating ice were revived when government authorities stated that the vessel had not arrived at Channel, N. E., as previously reported, and that an extended search for the missing ship would begin as soon as the blizzard and gale abate and make it safe to navigate vessels. The Southern Cross, formerly used in Antarctic exploration by Sir Ernest Shackleton, carried a crew of 173 men and was loaded with more than 17,000 sealskins, trophies of a hunt in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The Southern Cross started homeward a week ago, and passed safely down the west coast, through Cabot strait and along the southern coast. On Tuesday morning she was sighted off Cap Pine, nineteen miles west of Cape Race. Since then the blizzard struck this section and nothing further has been heard from her. Messages sent to New York stated that when the Newfoundland was caught in the ice 100 of her men were on the floe, and that various vessels have picked up more than eighty bodies of men who were frozen to death and that nearly a score of survivors were found. The message stated that the Newfoundland's men were bringing the pelts of the seals toward that steamship when overtaken by the blizzard, and that the Newfoundland has not a single sealskin now on board. The other vessel reported a catch of 28,000 seals. This would mean that the Newfoundland's financial loss is perhaps $70,000, as each skin is worth about $2.50. The Newfoundland is reported to be undamaged. The steamship Bellaventure, bringing fifty-eight bodies and some of the survivors of the Newfoundland to St. Johns, is blocked in the ice. Many of the rescued seagulls are reported to be dying, and the death list will be increased before the rescue steamship arrives. CY WARMAN. POET. DEAD Wrote "Sweet Marie" and Was Pioneer of Railroad Literature. Cy Warman, the poet and short story writer, died in Chicago after a long illness. Warman was stricken with paralysis in a hotel last winter. The outlook was unfavorable from the first. He was removed to a hospital a few weeks ago, where he continued to sink until the end came. Cy Warman was known as the "Poet of the Rockies," and was a pioneer in the school of railroad literature. His tales about railroad men were based on personal experiences at Salida, Colo., where, in the early 80s, he worked as a wiper, a fireman and engineer. After a few years of railroading he became ill and was compelled to seek other employment. The poot later met and was married to Miss Marie Myrtle Jones, who inspired the lines for "Sweet Marie," a song which became a great success. Warman was born in 1855 near Greenup, Ill., on a homestead presented to his father by the government for gallant service in the Mexican War. Taft to Honor Memory of Aide.
