PLAYER AUTOMOBILE TURNS TURTLE Dr. Miles B. Jones Injured--His Wife and Miss Mundin Bruised. TROUBLE FOR A PLEASURE PARTY. VOLUME XXXI, NO. 40 AUTOMOBILE TURNS Dr. Miles B. Jo Wife and Miss M TROUBLE FOR A F Dr. Miles B. Jones had a narrow escape last Sunday morning at DoWit, Va. about 22 miles from Petersburg, Va. by roadway and about 20 miles by railway. It is 41.6 miles from Richmond, Va. via Seaboard Air Liner Railway. The time was about 7 o'clock and the accident happened right at the station with many of the residents of that place as witnesses. Funeral Director A. D. Price received a message about 11 o'clock to send his new Kline car-over to pull in the automobile of Dr. M. B. Jones. BUSINESS WAS DULL. Business being dull last Sunday he sent up to the Ebenezer Baptist Church for his son, Douglass, and with Chauffeur Fauntleroy at the wheel, the same Fauntleroy who has been up in a three revolution antic of a Stevena-Duracy, he started for Petersburg. When he reached Petersburg, he was surprised to learn that Dr. Miles B. Jones had been seriously injured and was unconscious while his wife and Miss Maud E. Mundin had been injured. EMBARRASSED AND SURPRISED They did not want an undertaker just then and Mr. Price was some what embarrassed as previous to that time, he knew absolutely nothing of the mishap. The story as told by Miss. Maud E. Mundin, of 635 N. 6th St. is intercasting. She was in bed under the care of her brother, Dr. Mundin. Her right eye was bandaged, there being a four inch gash just above it. The right side of her face was lacerated and swollen. Mrs. Myrtle Chiles was there and her sister too was affording her every attention. A TRAINED NURSE. Miss Mundin is a trained nurse, having recently graduated from the Freedman's hospital at Washington. She said, "We left Dr. D. A. Ferguson's residence, 107 E. Leigh St., at 4:30 last Sunday morning for National Medical Association. We in front being owned by Dr. J. Mercer G. Ramsey. In the leading car were Dr. J. Mercer G. Ramsey, Dr. D. A. Ferguson, these two being dentists, and Dr. George R. Ferguson of Charlotteville and Dr. Walter A. Alexander, of Orange, N. J. TURNED TURTLE. In Dr. Jones' car were Dr. Milton B. Jones, Dr. Janie Jones, his wife; Miss Viola Lucas, an invalid and myself. In crossing the Seaboard Air Line Railway tracks, the roadway is almost parallel with the track. The wheels of the Ford car failed to reach the rail and the car skidded and turned over, entirely reversing itself. Some say it turned twice, but I do not know about that. I know it turned, once. We were caught under the car. Dr. Jones' chauffeur was in the car, but Dr. Jones was driving it. COVERED WITH BLOOD. "I crawled out. My face was covered with blood. The doctors had failed to bring their satchels and although there were four of them, we had absolutely no emergency treatment at hand. The people at DeWit were very kind and we bathed our wounds with cold water. Dr. Jones was dragged out from under the car. Dr. Ramsey had a guide book and he led the way, raising his hands to advise us as we went along. They soon saw our predicament and returned to help us. They took the pennants off their car and loaded the injured people on the car. EMPI-CONSCIOUS AND HELPLESS Dr. Miles B. Jones was semi-concious and spoke in a dazed manner. Blood flowed from his nose and ear. He walked mechanically when assisted. Dr. Ramsey took him in his ear while the others remained at Dawit and carried him to Peterbury. He was carried in to Mr. Ponsonnerie's asking house and put to bed. His wife was found to be pregnant about the head and shoulder in the way of the opinion that she had been intimately. They are SLIGHTLY INJURED. The chauffeur was injured about the legs. He came to Richmond and went to the Richmond Hospital. I expect to be out in one or two days. Dr. Jones' automobile is badly smashed up. The wheel is injured, one tire being off two axles bent and the top smashed. Douglas Price can tell you all about it. He seemed to know all about it." Wo bid hor adieu. Mr. Price went in his six cylinder car to De Witt, after he found out that the party had been injured. CONTINUED THE JOURNEY Dr. J. Mercer G. Ramsey and his party continued on to Raleigh. It was some time before a surgeon could be obtained in Peterburg, but afterwards, everything possible was done for the injured. Mr. Price found that it was out of the question to pull the car in. It will be necessary to place it on a flat car and bring it into Richmond by the Sea-board. He returned to Petersburg and brought Miss Maud E. Mundin and Miss Viola Lucas to this city. TOO ILL TO TRAVEL. Dr. Miles R. Jones and his wife were too ill to travel and if Mrs. Jones had been able so to do, she would not leave her husband. Dr. Jones is improving rapidly and it is said, while being very ill, was taking the accident in a jocular manner. It will be remembered that his wife had a narrow escape in this same car, when the steering chain broke and the automobile ran into the plate glass front of the piano store at 103 E. Main Street, Wednesday, August 12th. OTHERS REACH RALEIGH Fortunately, no one was injured. At this writing, the Ford car is on the roadside, fifty-five miles from Richmond by road measurement as determined by the speedometer on the Price car. Chaufeur Fauntleroy knows all about it, for he is just out of a wreck a few weeks ago. The other members of the party reached Raleigh in safety, so they reported to anxious friends in this city. Should there be no rain, they will come back no worse for wear. The next time Dr. Miles B. Jones goes, he will take the "train for his n." MEDICAL HELP AT LAST. Dr. William H. Hughes, of Richmond went over to Peterburg and rendered service, although after some delay surgeons, including Dr. Alexander, were secured and rendered all of the aid needed. THE INJURED HERE. Dr. Miles B. Jones and his wife, Dr. Janie Jones arrived in this city from Petorburg last Tuesday night. They left Petorburg at 10:40 and reached this city at 11:30. He was able to walk and seemed to be much improved. He and his Madame were taken to the Hospital. The damaged car was brought over from Do Wilt last Monday afternoon under its own power. A blacksmith straightened the bent axle and made such other temporary repairs as to enable Dr. Jones' chauffeur to bring the car to this city. It was sent to the Ford Motor Car garage for repairs. DR. HUGHES' STATEMENT. Dr. William H. Hughes, who is attending Dr. Miles B. Jones and his wife, stated last Thursday: "When I first saw Dr.-M. B. Jones he showed signs of a fractured skull, hemorrhage from the nose, and ears, with concussion of the brain. He rallied afterwards and these signs lessened and there were no evidences of a fracture of the skull, but a concussion of the brain, which showed gradual improvement. OTHER BRUISES. There were bruises about the right arm and face. His right eye was closed, his teeth damaged and the drum of his left ear ruined. This does not necessarily mean that he will remain dead in the air. There was considerable injury of the posterior nares (back part of the nose.) "Mrs. Janie Jones' right shoulder was jammed but no bones were broken or dislocated. Her back and shoulder were wrenched and she had a brush wound on the forehead. Both ears improving. The Sunday School and B. Y. P. U Hold Great Conventions. The Thirteenth Annual Seasons of the B. Y. P. U. and State Baptist S. S. Convention of Virginia were held at the First Baptist and Pine Street Baptist Churches, Suffolk, Va., Aug. 19-21st. Fully one thousand delegates, visitors and friends attended these seasons, which were very enthusiastic, instructive and encouraging. Rev. J. H. Ashby, of Norfolk, preached the introductory sermon, which was very pleasing. Great sermons were also delivered by Rev. A. O. Bell, of Lynchburg and Dr. C. C. Scott, of Philadelphia, Pa. and Rev. J. G. St. Claire Drake. These were rare treats and electrified the many hearers. Great discussions as to Education, Foreign and Home Mission, Temperance and for the uplift of our people were well discussed and many good and helpful things brought out. The good people of Suffolk, both white and colored, did their very best to make the Convention a success and pleasant. The two Conventions raised nearly $1400.00, $600.00 of which was donated to Virginia Theological Seminary and College. Officers of the Sunday School Convention elected were: President, Prof. J. H. Lee, Newport News; Recording Secretary, Miss N. Taylor, Danville; Treasurer, W. H. Smith, Lynchburg; Statistical Secretary, R. H. Fauntleroy, Richmond; Corresponding Secretary, G. K. Trent, Roanoke.

REVOLUTIONARY WAR RECORDS The U. S. Government desires to ascertain the whereabouts of all original records, both military and naval, relating to the American Revolutionary War, 1775 to 1781. This is a matter of great importance to historical students, librarians, institutions of learning, patriotic societies, and all persons interested in their country's struggle for independence. It is believed that many such records are in the hands of private owners as well as in official archives and libraries. It is not desired to purchase these papers, but to obtain a complete list of them and their location, with a view to publication. Information in regard to all such papers will help complete the record of Virginia's part in the Revolution. The task of gathering this information in Virginia has been placed in the hands of Mr. Morgan P. Robinson of Richmond, and Mr. J. H. Lindeny of Charlottesville. All persons having knowledge of the existence of such records are requested to write to Morgan P. Robinson, Historian for War and Navy Departments, care State Library, Richmond, Virginia, giving a short description of the documents and the post-office address of their owner or custodian. THE GOOD SAMARITANS. OFFICERS DOING GRAND WORK: Richmond has long enjoyed the reputation of being the birthplace and cradle of more organizations than any city in this country. While the Order of Good Samaritans was not born in the city of Richmond, yet State Grand Lodge, No. 6, Independent Order of Good Samaritans and Daughters of Samarita, has its headquarters in this city and that Order is now forging its way to the topmost round of the ladder. You do not hear a great deal of the Order on the highway, yet it is a power in the fraternal councils of the State. The headquarters of the Order for the present time is at the residence of M. J. W. Thompson, 10th West Jackson Street. At the last annual session of State Grand Lodge held in Covington, Va. it was known that the growth of the Order for the past eighteen or twenty years has been so marvelous that it was necessary to purchase and maintain larger headquarters for the Order in the city of Richmond. With this end in view, the Order purchased from the Samaritan Builng Association, the piece of property known as "The Samaritan Hall" at the corner of Sixth and Duval Streets at the price of $6,000.00. This brings us to another bit of interesting history in connection with the Samaritans of the city of Richmond. We doubt whether there are an hundred citizens in Richmond, to-day who know the history of the Samaritan Hall. This piece of property C. F. HUBBARD, Grand Chief, I. O. G. S. and D. of S. VI. THOMPSON was bought immediately after the War by what was known as the Freedmen's Bureau. It was used by this Bureau as an educational and distributing point for books, clothes, and other articles of necessity amongst the emancipated slaves, hence it will be seen that this Hall occupies an important post in connection with the history of the colored people. The Trustees of the Freedmen's Bureau sold this property to the Trustees of ten Samaritan Lodges early in the seventies. In other words this piece of property was bought by ten Samaritan Lodges very soon after the War. These ten Samaritan Lodges continued to hold the property until the year 1908, when it was found that of the ten lodges that purchased this property, four of them had gone out of existence and the remaining six were composed of very aged members, and they did not feel disposed to be burdened with carrying the responsibility of the Hall upon their shoulders. The Hall through J. War by what was known as the Thiomna Hewin, Special Commission of the Court for the sum of $1,000.00. The Association held the property and improved it greatly since 1908 to the present time. The Hall has been sold to State Grand Lodge, No. 6, I. O. Q. S, and D. O. S at the price of $6,000.00. Notwithstanding the fact that the Building Association spent more than $2,000.00 upon the Hall for improvements—in selling the Hall to State Grand Lodge, they were able to pay back every lodge owning stock in the Association every dollar which they paid in and more besides, in other words, for every dollar in (Continued On Fourth Page.) Don't forget, the boat leaves for Claremont at seven o'clock on August 31st. For Sale. SUIT FILED. J. Thomas Hewin. Esquire, was retained by the members of the six remaining lodges to institute legal proceedings in the Courts to subject this property to a sale, and also, to determine the rights and status of the members of those Lodges which contributed money to the purchase of the Hall, but had gone out of existence. Suit was filed in the Chancery Court of the city of Richmond, by Attorney Hewin. The result was that the Court decreed a sale of the property amongst the six Lodges which remained, and gave no interest whatever to the other Lodges that had dragged out of the Order. nor to any of the surviving members of said lodges. The members of the Order in Richmond were determined not to let this piece of property get out of the hands of the Samaritans, accordingly they came together and formed what is known as the "Samaritan Building Association." J. W. Thompson, Grand Secretary of the Order, was elected President and J. Thomas Hewin, Esquire, was elected Secretary. The following persons composed the Board of Directors of the Samaritan Building Association: J. W. Thompson, J. Thomas Hewin, Lucie E. C. Scott, Isiah Mann, C. H. Munford, Emma Baylor, J. A. W. Jackson, Hainah L. Johnson, Alfred Courts, Fannie B. Hill, Alpheus Scott, Major Bland, A. E. White, Fannie Jones, W. H. Thompson, J. N. Myers, Harriet Thompson, H. L. Richardson, Fannie Dammals, R. P. Henderson, R. B. Johnson, Napoleon Jones, Pinkle Lewis, W. G. Jackson, Joshua Davis, B. R. Craddock, Watson Jordan, Salle White. With the above officers, the Samaritan Building Association set to work at once and began to raise money with the object in view of buying the Samaritan Hall whenever it was sold. The Chancery Court appointed J. Thomas Hewin, Special Commissioner to make a sale of the property and distribute the fund amongst the surviving Lodges. This Samaritan Building Association. J. W. THOMPSON, Grand Secty., I. O. G. S. and D. of S. tion bought the Hall through J. Thomas Hewin, Special Commissioner of the Court for the sum of $1,000.00. The Association held the property and improved it greatly, since 1908 to the present time. The Hall has been sold to State Grand Lodge, No. 6, I. O. G. S. and D. of S. at the price of $6,000.00. Notwithstanding the fact that the Building Association spent more than $2,000.00 upon the Hall for improvements—in selling the Hall to State Grand Lodge, they were able to pay back every lodge owning stock in the Association every dollar which they paid in and more besides, in other words, for every dollar invested on Fourth Page.) --- Don't forget, the boat leaves for Claremont at seven o'clock on August 31st.

The city of Namur and five of its forts are in possession of - the Germans. The other four forts at the Belgian stronghold are still holding out, according to dispatches from German sources but Berlin declares that they are being subjected to a terrific bombardment and their fall seems imminent. In the meantime the kalsor's forces are pushing on the French frontier. That the attack upon the allies, which was so successful after three days of desperate fighting, has already been renewed is indicated by reports of heavy cannonading south of Mons. It is believed the Germans have already reached the intrenched line of allies and that the battle is raging, with the kalsor's army shelling the French and British positions. No official news to that effect has been given out by the government press bureau, however. Germans Take the Offensive. A dispatch from Paris says that the French war office announced that the German troops had taken the offensive and are engaged in battle with the allied French and British forces, that the Belgian army had made a sortie from Antwerp and that the reports of the recapture of Muelhanson by the Germans were untrue. An official statement issued said: "In the north, the Germans appear to have resumed the offensive, which had been arrested. They are engaged with our forces, who are united with the British troops. "The Bolgian army, making a sortie from Antwerp and taking by surprise the first lines of the Germans, throw them back past Malines. "In Lorraine, following the counter attacks our forces have taken up their position on the mountain which follows the course of the Muerthe from Luneville to Nancy. "In Alsace our troops have repulsed numerous counter attacks by the Germans directed toward Colmar. The report which has been current of the capture of Musselhaus by the Germans is denied. "The German offensive movement in the north, which was stopped Monday appears to have been resumed. "The enemy is, however, being held back by the French army, acting in conjunction with an English army and a Belgian army." Loss of Life Believed Enormous Advices from the field, both official and unofficial, say that the French are now upon the defensive having fallen back from their advanced position after three days of the most furious fighting known in modern warfare. The loss of life on both sides has undoubtedly been enormous, although no official figures have been issued. The fall of the Namur forts caused amusement and consternation in London and Paris. It had been believed that the troops massed around Namur would be able to put an effectual check to the headlong dash of the kalser's legions. One military expert referred to the Germans "capture of Namur as one of the inexplicable events that make war a gamble." Fighting around Namur and Charleroi was of the most terrific character, the onslaughts of the invaders being swiftly met by the infantry, cavalry and artillery of the allied forces. German Line's Mighty Sweep. The battle line of the mighty German army now stretches from the northwest to the southeast, beginning at a point near Mons and ending at a point near the northern boundary of Bursenburg. A separate engagement, however, is reported to be taking place at a point south of this great 300-mile battlefield in the region of the Voges mountains. The mighty German war machine, victorious in the heavy three-day battle against the French and English allies, has begun a forward move most of all its forces, stretching along the entire Franco-German and Belgian frontiers toward Paris. A message from Berlin stated that the Kaiser's arms proposed a move in which the four armies into which the great attacking force is divided are pushing forward along lines which some together at Paris. Three armies, each a host in Mosl make up the front of the German forces in northwestern Belgium. One lies between Mons and the Mone River; another lies between the east bank of the Mone and the Lesse River; the third is in position north of Lensburg along the Somols river. Both banks and the centre have been engaged in the conflict, which opened early Saturday. GERMAN ARTILLERY Long Line of Cannon Going Over Mountain Pass. 1814 by American Press Association This is the first picture received in American showing German troops marching to Belgium, shows the artillery in a mountain pass. Sit indicate that German strategy, coupled with the immense strength of the greater army, completely upset the plan of attack conceived by General Joffre, the French commander-in-chief. Special mention is made of the gallantry of the British forces, commanded by Field Marshal Sir John French, that met the German assault between the French frontier and the west bank of the Meuse. So powerful was the drive of the German army against the main force of allies that French troops stationed in the department of Nord were rushed southward to reinforce the left flank leaving only a body of territorials in the district around Dubaix to resist the attack of the Uhlans which penetrated that region. From all indications the Germans now control all of Belgium except the extreme northern and northeastern parts, but military experts agree that the kaiser must fight out a decisive engagement at once if he is to use any part of his army in Belgium to attempt to storm the advance of the Russians through East Prussia. Some of the exports have advanced the theory that the Franco-British allies fell back purposely to lure the Germans onward and farther away from Berlin.

According to the Pittsburgh police Mr. Stuart chased the Italian several blocks and was about to catch him when the assailant turned sharply and fired a shot which pierced his pursuer's chest. Mr. Stuart died later in the Pittsburgh Hospital. The other victim was Paul Rieger forty-five years old, a carpenter. He and Edward Vocarri were arguing on the street. The argument grew into an altercation, and as Mr. Stuart, on his way home, approached the two the Italian pulled a revolver from his pocket and shot Rieger. He then ran down the street. Mr. Stuart, who was the only witless to the shooting, gave chase. He ran after the Italian for several blocks. Vocarri turned suddenly and fired again. Mr. Stuart fell to the ground fatally wounded. He was later picked up and sent to the hospital where he died shortly after being admitted. During a force electrical storm in Cape May, N.

In the American Magazine a man who has had twenty-five years matriarchal experience writes "A Hearth's Story," in which he tells about the past that money plays in marriage. Following to an extract: "I have heard many persons say, with insults cast, that money does not bring happiness. Yet as I study my married life I cannot recall even one quarrel or disagreement or understanding that could not be traced directly to money matters." Wake island is a low lying island in the midst of the Pacific ocean, half way between the Hawaiian Islands and the Philippines, and belongs to the United States on two grounds: First it was discovered and surveyed by Commodore Wilkes in his exploring expedition of 1839-42 and again, was taken possession of in the name of the United States by Commodore Tunnig in 1859. It has no low that it is scarcely habitable, but as a cable station for a Pacific cable it will be very valuable. OFFICE ROOM, NO. 406, MACHANTOF SAVINGS BANK BUILDING 'Trema, Moores—3087.

It occupies a hard, tiny tube of its own making and gets its food when the high tide comes up over its biding place by thrusting out a bood bony with tentacles and sucking in currents of water loaded with minute particles of nutriment. Out of this wriggling creature the shore people make soup, which is true vermicellil, a paste imitation of "little worms," and is said to taste as badly as it smells. ONLY ALL BAIL LINE TO NORFOLLE.

SATURDAY AUGUST 29, 1914 Mr William Monroe Trotter, the redoubtable editor of the Boston Mass. Guardian and Corresponding Secretary of the National Independent Political League in conjunction with his colleagues has arranged for a three days' conference of colored Americans against proscription as practiced in this country. The meeting will be called to order in the Bethel Church, New York City, September 21, 1914. Each State is urged to致信 a delegation to attend these demonstrations. The race activists will be there in full force and in view of the present political conditions in the Empire State a brevity that is expected. Colored men should rally now as never before. The issues and the times demand it. Gov. Cole I. Please, of South Carolina has been declared in the Democratic primaries for United States Senator and will accordingly soon go out of office as another Democrat has been nominated for Governor of that State. It was predicted that if this result was obtained, Gov. Please would lead an independent movement in South Carolina. Many colored people honestly believed this and hoped that the result would be brought about. We have never shared that opinion. It begins to look, though, that the era of demagoguism is on the wane and that the better class of people are again coming into control of the government in many of the Southern States. THE NEW YORK SITUATION. The New York situation is interesting. Col. Theodore Roosevelt, who had endorsed the candidacy of Hon Harvey D. Hinman, who is running on an anti-boss platform in the Republican primaries for Governor, has now yielded to the importance of his supporters and withdrawn his support of that gentleman. He is now in favor of a straight-out Progressive candidate standing upon a straight-out Progressive platform. Just what effect this will have on the situation is not known. Hon. Charles S. Whitman, the present District Attorney of New York City seems to be in the lead for the nomination and should be win a large independent vote will undoubtedly be cast for him. The vote in New York State will determine the future usefulness of the Progressive Party in the affairs of the nation and emphasize the fact as to whether or not it is to be reckoned with by each of the great national political parties. Ex-President Roosevelt's action has caused much comment among all party leaders, not excepting his own. His bid for Republican support did not call forth the hearty response that he had anticipated. Viewed from any angle, colored citizens can regard the political situation as entirely satisfactory. God has a hand in all of this and he will work it out in His own time. BLACK TROOPS' BRAVERY. France tried the experiment of enlisting black troops in its regular army. Reports from the front show that the Republic made no mistake along this line. The feats of bravery rival any as told in the world's history. In speaking of it, a correspondent says: Near Charleroi I heard some stories of the bravery of the French soldier. The Germans were bombarding the city. The French troops made what amounted to a medieval fortite, but, finding the enemy in much greater force than was expected, were compelled to withdraw. The bombardment continued relentlessly, whereupon the French Turcos, gliding troops from Algiers deboned from the town and, with a gallantry --- which must surely live in history, charged the German battery, bay-cometing all the German gunners. Their losses are sold-to exceed those of the Light Brigade at Balaclava. Of a battalion, only 100 men, it is reported; returned unscathed. Their bravery, however, was powerless against the German advance, which crept foot by foot through the outskirts of Charlled to the very heart of the town. There, in the narrow streets, the carnage was indiscribable. The French infantry told me that the roads became so jammed with dead that the killed remained standing upright where they had been shot, supported by their dead comrades. The last stand of the French was made before the railway station in front of which passes the canal. Here the Germans fought for two hours to take the bridge. After they had captured the station, with heavy casualties, the Germans moved rapidly ahead, taking various suburban villages. Charlerol was taken and retaken five times in the fighting between the French and Germans on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. The French Turcos are Africans. This tells the whole story. The most desplaced race has proven itself repeatedly to be among the bravest. TWO BAPTIST LEADERS WRATHY The National Baptist Convention holds its annual session in Philadelphia, Pa., September 9th, 1914. The indications are that it will be one of the stormiest sessions in the history of the denomination. The cause of it all is a disagreement between two of the brainstem pulpit orators in the country to-day. One is the President, Rev. E. C. Morris, D. D., of Helena, Arkansas, and the other is Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., Chairman of the Publication Board and Manager of the mammoth Baptist Publishing House at Nasaville, Tennessee. We have read with interest the statement of both of these great men and it seems to us that both have presented their side of the controversy with consummate ability. One has charged the other with misstatements and vice versa. It seems that both have resented the attitude of the other. President Morris cannot understand why he should not be able to pass an opinion and take an official interest in the actual work of the Nat'l Baptist Publishing Board, which is pursued to an insufficiency to the National Baptist convention, which he is an official head. Manager Boyd, who by his mastery management has built up the great publishing house at a great personal financial savvice to himself, intends to respect this interfer- square with his department by persons, no matter who they are, who cannot comprehend the inner workings and troubles of a large publication business. President Morris has shown by two records that he has not profited by the £200 on a preparated annual for the editorial department, of which he was the official head, but has paid the money out to others for services rendered. Dr. Boyd insists in the face of these facts that Dr. Morris' opposition is due to his desire for more money and not being able to obtain it. he makes sturder attacks upon this department through his friends in the Convention and by direct attacks upon him. This controversy reminds us of the one in which Rev. Dr. Isaacs figured many years ago. It is charged, too, that Rev. Dr. Boyd holds mortgages upon the plant of the Nat Rap Publishing Board, that the officesal Board is incorporated and is in a measure independent of the National Baptist Convention, on the membership or rathtp the church membership, it is dependent for its support. This controversy is unfortunate and can only be settled by a strict adherence to $^{15}$ business principles. This great publishing house is the hite's work of Rev. Dr. K. H. Boyd and it is so interwoven with the National Baptist Convention that he is supposed to be subject to its commands, while as a legal proposition and under its charter, he is at liberty to steer practically an independent course in the field of legitimate business. The management of the National Baptist Convention has discovered this and they now hope to place it absolutely under the supervision of officers, who are not well posted on the business' part of the affair although they are "past masters" with reference to the editorial handling of the periodicals of this great publishing concern. As a matter of fact, the concern can succeed with the proper business management and without an excellent editorial department, while the excellent editorial department cannot succeed without the proper business management. 'And there you're.' It is a case for delicate adjustment and a better understanding. To be plain, the National Baptist Publishing Board or rather Dr. Boyd can run the publishing house without the National Baptist Convention, but we doubt if the National Baptist Convention can run the publishing house We are of the opinion that Dr. Boyd claims that much money is due him for his services and that he has taken steps to prevent the years of labor and toil from passing into other hands without first compensating him. This is reasonable and it seems to us that if there is a mortgage, the national body should proceed to pay it off even should the money go to Dr. Boyd. If the National Baptist Convention has not put up the money in cold cash for the machinery, building, etc. at Nashville, Team, some body did put it up and this money should be paid and then the national organization should take over the publishing house in its own right and, having had his pocket filled for his lifetime service, Dr. Boyd would have no other recourse but to give his good will, ability and support to his successor. This is the way it looks to us. If we have misunderstood the facts, we stand corrected. It does seem though that in issuing a circular to the denomination Dr. Morris, President, of the Convention was barred from the publications of his own Convention and in publishing his statements in the periodicals of the National Baptist Publishing Board. Manager Boyd had free and full access to these same publications. There is a weak place somewhere and we regret to see the blunders of the A. M. E. Christian Recorder at Philadelphia. Fa. duplicated when the editor of that journal and the manager were fighting each other in the same journal. Let us have care. The police department of Chicago seems to have "marked up the wrong tree" in the effort to locate and apprehend a chicken thief. It has become to be proverbial that colored folks that steal will take a chicken in preference to anything else, at least this is the general belief, although it is known of all the world that a white man who steals will steal anything from a pen point up to a million dollar bank. This white citizen kept on losing chickens and he could not locate the chicken thief. The detectives were traffled and puzzled, so a colored detective on the force was selected for the task of apprehending the thief. He did not follow the plan of his white associates, who were looking only for a Negro thief. He went at the task with an "open mind." But the telegraphic report tells the story, much better than we can tell it. Here it is: Chicago, Ill. Aug. 26.—The mouth of the chicken thief is an soft as the way of the transgressor is hard, and as long as this obvious peculiarity of roost footers remains, and David Pollard, colored, is a member of the Chicago police force this city will be no place for a bandit chicken fander. Detective Pollard today added to a long list of feathery conquests when he brought in the man who had been taking all but the feed from the chicken coop of Joseph Hartman. Mr. Hartman rushed into the station house yesterday, which is a block from his home, and reported that the last of the leghorns had vanished. He had made eight previous reports regarding the gradual decline of his cooped interests, and he wanted to know what in the name of the warring nations, he got in exchange for his taxes if he couldn't even keep chickens under the chap. eronage of the police The Houston called four detectives and told them to spend the day getting the wretch who had left the fartman coop desolate. Lark night they reported that there was absolutely nothing doing. Pollard was then assigned to the case. He returned in an hour with a white man, crying a bag of "chanckens." "He had a chicken mouth and a bag of chickens," said Pollard, "and I knew I couldn't go wrong." This is an amusing situation and the colored detective is "the hero of the hour." The biggest chicken stealing raid ever made in this state was by a white man and he used a wagon in making his hauls. Some people said that the thief was an itinerant preacher, but we will lot that pass. One thing we know when it comes to chicken-stealing, turkey-stealing, hog-stealing and bank-stealing the average white thief has no equal in the world.

MUMARIA HAIR COMPANY, Department D, 63 Duane Street. New York City vested in the Hall by each lodge, they received $1.20 in return per dollar invested. The lodges of Richmond were delighted at this splendid return from the r investment. Many expressed the idea that this was the first time in their history that an organization chartered and run by our people had disbanded and paid back every dollar put into the organization and some dividend besides. This was true of the Bamaritan Bulld.ng Association which now goes out of existence when the Grand Lodge becomes the owner of the property. TO OPEN OFFICE. Since the Grand Lodge of the Order of Good Samaritans has become the owner of this property, Mr. J. W. Thompson, Grand Secretary, of Richmond, Va. and G. F. Hubbard, of Lynchburg, Va. were in Richmond a few days ago, at which time an inspection of this building was made for the purpose of locating and fitting up the office of the State Grand Lodge, which will be done in a very short time. The headquarters of the Order will be moved from Mr. Thompson's residence on Jackson St. to this building, corner Sixth and Duval Sts. Along with this bit of history, we present our readers with the cuts of C. F. Iubbard, Grand Chief, and J. W. Thompson, Grand Secretary, both of whom have long served the Order in their respective offices. At the time when these gentlemen assumed the responsibility of running the Order of Good Samaritans, the Grand Lodge was unable to pay the travelling expenses of these officers to and from the Grand Lodge Sessions home. To-day, State Grand Lodge, No. 5, J. O. O. S. and D. of S. has grown to 10,000 or more members and has assets close to $20,000.00 in value. In making this splendid showing, the Order has shown no small degree of what can be accomplished by honest, conscientious leadership. The Samaritans of Richmond district are delighted at the prospects of having the property recently bought by State Grand Lodge, equipped and opened as their general office. They are working very hard this year to make an excellent showing in this district. The next Grand Lodge Session of the Order for 1915 will be held in Norfolk, Va. Grand Chief C. F. Hub hard, is also a field organizer for the Order and he is bonding every energy there, is in help to make the session at Norfolk one of the greatest showings the Order has ever made. With this end in view he is travelling in every section of the State this year to arouse the interest in the District Deputies. The usefulness of a battleship is not to be determined by its size, but it is to be determined by the men who are behind the guns. This same rule may well be said to apply to a society. A society is good or bad according to the men who are behind the guns, and the men who are behind the guns in a society are the officers and Board of Directors. The following are the officers and members of State Grand Lodge, No. 6, Independent Order of Good Samaritans and Daughters of Samarita. They are the men who have lead the Order to success during its whole constructive period and they are the men who are behind the guns today: Grand Chief, C. F. Hubbard, Lynchburg, Va.; Grand Secretary, J. W. Thompson, Richmond, Va.; Grand Treasurer, J. M. Clarke Danville Va. The Board of Directors is composed of the above named persons with the following added: C. W. Jordan, Suffolk, Va.; C. H. Munford, South Richmond, Va.; Mrs. M. C. Stewart, Hampton, Va.; Sandy Miller, Norfolk, Va.; Roschee Mosby, Richmond, Va.; Dr. P. A. Scott, Newport News, Va. To say that the above officers and directors of State Grand Lodge have the confidence of the people, goes without saying, because they have been elected and re-elected for a decade or more of years. The affairs of the Order have been regularly examined and audited by the Insurance Department at Richmond and every time they have come out with a clean sheet. Any persons who may desire information as to the organization of Subordinate Lodges in connection with the Order of Good Samaritans, address all communications to, J. W.

A strong, healthy body canable of doing work and having the power to resist diseases must have a plenty of strong, fresh, pure blood. A society to do business of drawing others to it, and to hold them after they come, must have money to meet its obligations. The present corps of officers of State Grand, Lodge forewax this fact many years ago. This is proven by the strength of the Endowment Department. This department had its birth in the mind and brain of the present Grand Secretary, J. W. Thompson. He organized it October 1, 1601 and has been its manager ever since. When this Department first began, the face value of its policies was $50.00, but to-day, the face value of all policies issued by it is $100.00. Since the organization of this Department by Mr. Thompson, nearly 1000 death claims have been paid in 12 years. Every claim is paid promptly. You don't have to threaten them with a law-suit to get the payment of a death claim. Now, anyone can see what is the secret of this Order's success. It is not advertisement in the newspapers; it is not the beating of dreams on the highway; but is the prompt payment of your obligations to your members. This is what State Grand Lodge has done and what State Grand Lodge is doing to-day. Join the nearest lodge in your community.

The navy of France makes fourth among the world powers and third among the nations involved in the present trouble in the amount of warship storage built and also the aggregate of ammunage built and building. The number and displacement of warships of 1,500 or more tons and of torpedo craft of more than 50 tons are as follows: Two battleships (Dreadnought type) having a main battery THE Photos by American Press Association of all big guns (eleven inches or more in caliber) of 46,184 tons (and 9 of 214,100 tons, building); 18 battleships (pre-Dreadnought type) of (about) 10,000 or more tons displacement each and with main batteries of more than one caliber of 282,075 tons; 1 coast defense ship of 8,500 tons; 20 armored cruisers of 201,724 tons; 10 cruisers (unarmored warships of more than 1,500 tons) of 49,978 tons; 81 torpedo boat destroyers of 34,390 tons (and 5 of 3,974 tons, building); 139 torpedo boats of 13,920 tons; 75 submarines of 29,224 tons (and 12,120 tons, building). Total built, 346 vessels of 645,291 tons; total building, 32 of 200,264 tons; in all, 378 vessels of 876,155 tons. Excluded from the foregoing are ships over twenty years old, unless reconstructed and rearmed within five years; torpedo craft over fifteen years old, transports, collers, repair ships, torpedo depot ships and other auxiliary aircraft. Air craft up to July, 1914, included thirteen military dirigibles on hand and 7 ordered, and 1,000 military aeroplanes on hand, including monoplanes, biplanes and hydroaeroplanes. Two Biggest French Ships. The two Dreadnought type battleships completed in 1913, the Jean Bart and the Courtet, were launched in 1911. The Courtet was the first French ship of this class to be completed, and she was the vessel that carried M. Polincorne on his presidential visit to England in June, 1913. In addition to the nine building, another vessel of this type is to be laid down early in 1915, to be called the Vendee. Two of those building, the France and the Paris, were launched in 1912 and may be completed this year. Three others—the Bretagne, launched April 12, 1913; the Provence, April 20, and the Lorraine, Sept. 30—will be completed in 1915. Of the remaining four, They will exhibit a new departure in armament, in that their guns are to be mounted four in a turret. In three turrets they will carry twelve 13.4-inch guns, whereas earlier types had twin turrets. The chief advantages of the new method are said to be simplicity of plan, economy of weight and concentration of fire. Three projected scout cruisers to have been begun in 1919 have been forwarded to 1934. The scouters building will use oil fuel and attain a speed of thirty-one knots. The largest of the new submarines, the Gustave Zede, has a displacement of 1,000 tons submerged and 800 tons when at the surface. She was launched May 30, 1918. It is in the Mediterranean that the main fleet is stationed under Vice Admiral Bone de Lapeyre. Three armored cruisers and torpedo and submarine motifiles lie in the English channel. The navy is manned partly by description and partly by volunteers. The personnel in 1913 comprised 68,500 officers and men (60,621 in 1912 and 61,524 in 1911), including 15 vice admirals, 30 rear admirals, 30 captains and commanders and 1,407 other line officers.

FRENCH ARMORED CR THE SHIP in 1914: The battleships France and Paris, 2 thirty knot torpedo boats and 12 submarines, 8 of 410 tons and 3 of 520 tons, and 1, Gustave Zede, of 800 tons and a speed of twenty knots. The battleships under construction are the Bretagne and Provence, the Lorraine, Flandern, Gascogno, Languedoc and Normandie. Ten ships were to be laid down in 1914, the most important being the battleship Bearn (25,200 tons) of the Normandie type. Compared with their predecessors of the Jean Bart and the Bretagne types and with their foreign rivals of similar displacements the Normandie seem to be fine all around fighting units and, as one critic declares, "to be without weak points and to contribute one of the best investments the republic has ever made." M. Delcassio, the minister seemed to cause special of the Point that Delcassio was the high standard of which had been reached in naval force. He did not aggregate the force itself, that it was animated by the bitton to be as genuinely the French army to ream moment to the country's.

The warships were ninety in number, 18,500 ton battleships of class. All were tuned up to The panes of four new Dreadnoughts, Normandle, Gascogne, Languedoc and Flandre, are all filled with a fine flavor of romance and historic achievement and much superior to the designations with which so many of the former battleships were burdened.

Maps of the navy now carry new powder for the big guns. The old powder which had ceased so many accidents was still used for guns of smaller caliber and for the reserve stock on land. Only one-half of the powder required during 1914 could be made with the staff actually employed. The commanders of the squadrons and divisions of the French navy are Admiral Bone de Lapayre, first; Vice Admiral Marloes, second; Vice Admiral Marin-Darbel, third; cruiser squadron, Vice Admiral Auvert; squad of extreme orient, Rear Admiral Magnet de Kerrill; naval division of Marseus, Captain Simon. The French and British Flora. During the cordial understanding that has now existed for some years between the British and French nations their respective navies in European waters have been stationed in massed fleets, so as to complement each other and with a view to the greatest effectiveness in the event of war. Formerly the British navy maintained a strong battleship fleet in the Mediterranean. All British battleships have now been withdrawn from the waters of that sea, and only four powerful battle cruisers of the Inflexible type have been stationed there. This is because the British admiralty has been depending upon the powerful French fleet in the Mediterranean to look after their joint interests there in a naval war. Under this arrangement France, which used to have fleets based on Brest and operating in the channel and Atlantic waters, now has no fleet in northern Europe and has concentrated her fleet in the Mediterranean.

The enthusiasm brought out an extraordinary display of acerbity in the German press. It has long been the fashion with the German press to belittle the French navy, and this time the papera seemed to have regarded it as an affront to Germany that the French themselves should take any pride in their warships. The apaches of Providence Falleres and CRUISER MONTCALM. M. Delcasse, the minister of marine, seemed to cause special offense. The point that Delcasse dwelt on was the high standard of preparedness which had been reached by the French naval force. He did not unduly exaggerate the force itself, but he said that it was animated by the single ambition to be as genuinely ready as was the French army to respond at any moment to the country's call. The German press to the contrary notwithstanding, the French naval display at Toulon was very impressive. Absolutely no "lame ducks" were paraded and no new rescuals which were not complete and in commission were placed in line. The warships mustered were ninety in number, including five 18,500 ton battleships of the Danton class. All were tuned up to battle pitch.
