RELIEF AND PLANET JOHN CLEMENTS ON TRIAL. Witnesses Testify-Jury Visits Scene of Alleged Crime-Will Not Attack White Girl's Character. An Alibi by the Defense Only Hope--Defendant Declares He is Not Guilty. VOLUME XXXI, NO. 49 JOHN Witnesses To Alleged O Whit An Alibi by the Deck (Times-Dispatch Oct. 28, 1914.) John Clementa, the engr on trial for his life in the Circuit Court of Henrico County, charged with a capital crime against Miss Fannie Chenault, will hear the verdict of the jury much sooner than was predicted at the outset of the case if the rapid progress made on the opening day of the trial yesterday characterizes the entire proceedings. Little trouble was encountered in the selection of a jury when the case was called yesterday morning, and when the first day of the trial was over five witnesses, including Miss Chenault, had been examined, and the case was fairly under way. Eager crowds were on hand at the courthouse early yesterday morning, and when court convened every seat in the courtroom and practically all standing room was taken. The greater part of the spectators were courthouse or sympathizers of the accused or of the prosecution, but there were many who had been drawn merely to get a "thrill" or to hear the sensational features of the case exploited in open court. When court convened for the afternoon session at 3:30 o'clock, and Miss Chenault was called to the witness stand, disappointment came to the spectators when Judge R. Carter Scott ordered that the courtroom be cleared of onlookers, and that only those directly interested in the case be allowed to remain. JURY IS PROMPTLY DRAWN FOR TRIAL The jury is composed of J. G. Wade, C. T. Friend, D. K. Kellogg, James A. Allen, J. M. Brigga, Henry J. Ford, F. Feltig, M. T. Thiompson, Osale Henry, W. C. Ford, R. H. Thompson and C. C. Austin. Of the venire summoned only two were exquired. They said they had conciousious scruples against capital punishment, which may result in case the accused is convicted. One jury-man said he had expressed an opinion, but he was allowed to take his seat in the jury box when he said he would reader a verdict from the evidence, disregarding any previous views he might have formed. There are three attorneys on each side. Irving I. May, T. Gray Haddon and Gilbert K. Pollock represent the accused, while those prosecuting are Frank T. Sutton, Common wealth's attorney, assisted by Isaac Digga and H M.. Smith, Jr. Every point in the case is being vigorously contested. At 10 o'clock yesterday morning John Clements was brought into the courtroom and seated near his attorneys within the bar. He is thirty-six years old and a powerful specimen of physical manhood. The marks of long jail confinement, were upon him. He wore blue overalls heavy tan shoes and carried a big slouch hat. He appeared composed, but showed keen interest in the proceedings. Before the trial started he told newspaper men that he was not frightened, and that he had no fears, as to the ultimate outcome of the trial, for, he said, "I don't done nothing, and they can't prove it on me." The accessed was ordered to stand when the jury had been seated, and when the clerk of court had read the long indictment against him he answered, "Not guilty." Numerous witnesses, were then called and sworn. Miss Chenault entered the courtroom accompanied by her father, W. W. Chenault, and Mrs. Elizabeth Vetch, a friend of the family. The prosecutrix was composed in her manner. She wore a plain blue suit, a becoming black hat of velvet material, and white kid gloves. She and Mrs. Vetch sat near the Commonwealth's attorney, while Mr. Chenault took a seat just outside the railing. Opening the case for the prosecution, Mr. Diggs stated that the State has a clear case against the accused, and asked for a verdict of guilty, and the indictment of the death penalty. The prosecution will show, he said, that Miss Chenault positively identified Clementa as her assistant. Recounting the revolting details of the alleged crime, the attorney sought to impress upon the jury the enormity of the alleged offense. Mr. Haddon, answering the statement for the defense, contended, that Miss Chenault's identification of Clementa is by no means certain. He said it will be shown that the accused was not in the neighborhood when the crime was committed, and that Miss Chenault when she first saw Clementa did not identify him as her assistant. The defense announced that it would put on no new witnesses, but several who have not appeared at the previous hearings will be introduced by the prosecution. MISS CHENAULT TELLS HER STORY ON STAND. For two hours and a half yesterday afternoon Miss Chenault sat on the stand and told her story of the alleged crime. She was positive in her identification of Clerpents as her assailant. Shortly before & o'clock on the night of May 9, Miss Chenault said she got off the street car at Stop 23, on the Seven Pines line, and was walking down the public highway toward her home, a short way distant. Suddenly rough hands gripped her about the throat, she said, and hurried her to the ground. "If you scream, I will kill you," said the voice of her assailant. From the road Miss Chenault testified that her assailant forced her to accompany him through a wire fence to a body of bushes, where for three hours he held her captive. As soon as her assailant had left her, Miss Chenault said, she hurried to her home and told her father what had happened. She was closely questioned by attorneys for both sides. C. D. Martin was the next witness. The young man testified that he had known the Chenault family for years and until recently had lived near the Chenault home. Going to the car line, about 5 o'clock on the night of the alleged crime, he testified that he met Miss Chenault in the roadway. He spoke to her, he said, and walked on. He fetched a negro man walking rapidly in the same direction Miss Chenault had taken, he swore, but he thought nothing of it at the time. He testified that he returned home late the same night, but saw no one on his way home from the car line. PHYSICIANS TELL OF HER CONDITION. Dr. G. T. Collins, who resides a mile and a half from the Chenault home, testified that he was called to the Chenault home early Sunday morning. May 10, to see Miss Chenault. He described her condition, and said, that he had found bruises about her throat and neck, and on other parts of her person, but found no evidence that a capital crime had actually been committed. Dr. J. E. Warriner testified that he examined Miss Chenault on July 16, and found her condition to be normal. No evidences that a capital crime had been committed were to be found, he said. Police Officer T. W. Seay, of Henrico County, testified that he went to the Chenault home early on Sunday morning following the alleged crime, and, accompanied by Miss Chenault, went to the scene of the alleged outrage. He testified that he found evidence of a soverev struggle, and that he picked up hairpins and a purse on the ground, which Miss Chenault identified as her property. He told about accompanying the young woman to the City Jail, and later to the County Jail, when she went to identify her assailant. The officer testified that Miss Chenault said when she saw Clementa. "If it's not him, it's his twin brother." The officer's testimony will be concluded when court convenes this morning. Clements has been arrested three times for the crime with which he now stands charged. The first time he was arrested he was released after (Continued On Fifth Page.)

OFFICIALS ARE MUCH GRATIFIED Have Worked Hard to Preserve Morale of Order in Face of Uncertainty of Unfavorable Deviation—Grand Chancellor Makes Statement. Grand Attorney's Statement (Birmingham Ala. Reporter) The case of the white Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias of this State against the colored Grand Lodge of said order in Alabama which has been pending in the court for several years, has been finally dismissed out of court. "The case was filed in the Chancery Court at Montgomery in December, 1909, and prayed that an injunction against the colored Knights of Pythias be granted, prohibiting them from using the name "Knights of Pythias," the initials "K. of P." the emblems, mottoes, insignia and all other paraphernula of the order. The colored order was prepared for the attack and immediately began its defense. Every step in the proceedings was ably and atibly resisted, the case at one time going to the State Supreme Court until finally the entire proceedings were dismissed out of court. This is a great victory for the colored order of Knights of Pythias in Alabama, which fought the battle alone without having and without asking assistance either from Pythians in other states or from the race generally within the state, notwithstanding the admitted fact that this was distinctly an attack based upon race prejudice. The above announcement from the Grand Attorney of the Knights of Pythias of Alabama is the most gratifying piece of news that has been given out to the Negroes the State of Alabama in many a day. Following in the wake of other States in the Union, a suit was filed some time ago against the Negro Knights of Pythias by the white Pythians in Chancery Court at Montgomery, which, if successful, would have made necessary the charge of name of the Negro order, its insignia, etc., entailing much expense and considerably demoralizing the morale of the forces. Notwithstanding efforts in other States, notably Georgia and Tennessee, had failed, the light waged in the courts of Alabama continued, with the result that the forces were considerably at sea. Whether or not to push aggressively the campaign for ways a mooted question in view of the constructive things that constantly came before the management was always a mooted question in view of the uncertainty of the probable decision of the Alabama courts. The matter being dismissed from the courta leaves free once and for all time, the question of the right of existence of the Negro Pythians of Alabama. Grand Chancellor R. A. Blount and the Grand Attorney, E. A. Brown, together with the other officers, have worked hard on this matter, without making any noise and will no doubt receive the congratulations of the Pythian hosts throughout, the State and country. When seen by a representative of the Birmingham Reporter, Mr. Blount was wearing his usual smile, and declared that in keeping with the results in other States, he had always entertained the opinion that the Negro Pythians would finally win out in Alabama, and that he was most anxious now that all hands would get to work in earnest satisfied as to the perpetuity of the organization, and struggle to bring the Alabama, Negro Pythian fraternity to its point of highest excellence. "The members for the most part have stood up well under this strain, said the Grand Chancellor. "It is really surprising how well they have remained loyal and true. In the face of the fact that at any time the order was likely to come down from the courts, making it necessary to completely re-organize our work, with all the attendant confusion lost of members, prestige and the spirit, which after all is the most important thing. Their loyalty has its reward in this highly gratifying result." News has been received of the death of Mrs. Sadie V. Scott,nee Farley in Boston, Mass.

Greeting: Dear Christian Workers: Near three decades ago, the Negro Baptists in Convention assembled decided upon the establishment of a Negro Baptist Educational Institution. Immediately this decision was materialized in the Virginia Theological Seminary and College of Lynchburg, Va., an institution for the Normal, Academic, Collegiate and Theological training of the youth of the race. This educational plant has had marvelous growth, and has wrought wonderfully for Christ's kingdom and humanity. Thousands of young men and women have entered its intellectual portals; hundreds have finished from its different departments, and to day are in every higher walk of life. This institution is an especial gift of God, a benediction to mankind. No educational enterprise. In the history of the race's freedom, has equalled this one, in meriting for the race a permanent standing along constructive and progressive lines. It has demonstrated the moral mental and spiritual worth of the Negro. It has proved well his fitness, worthiness, his perseverance in a righteous work. It has won for the Negro the high approval of all well thinking people - white and colored. Today another call is made. Hear ye faithful Christian workers. A modernly equipped four-story brick structure has been erected for a Girl's Dormitory and to-day is occupied. This building complete with all equipment means an approximate cost of ($30,000.00) thirty thousand dollars. Thursday, November 5th, it will be dedicated. Elaborate arrangements have been made for a great dedication exercise. We want to see ten thousand Baptists present. Let all Baptists come. Again, that day we want ($1,100.00) one thousand and one hundred dollars. This amount is an urgent need. We are asking, most earnestly, churches to give from five to ten dollars, board members from five to ten dollars, individuals from one to five dollars, just as you feel able to respond to the needs now of a needy cause. Remember the date. Come. If you can not come, answer this with some noy. Ministers will please urgently state this to their churches. Cours for God and Education R. C. Woods, Pres Va.

Naco, Ariz, Oct 19. To my mind the most interesting thing here is not the treason, ammunition wasting battle across the line between Mayotte and Hill, but the behavior of the United States cavalry troopers on border duty here. The American soldiers have gone through an experience more trying than actual war, and have stood the test. A trip to Naco to see them on duty is an object lesson in patriotism. Nobody can come up here and observe these soldiers without feeling prouder than ever before of the men who maintain the nation's military prestige. To me it seems that the behavior of the American troopers has not been only commendable, but remarkable. I have not noticed it from the first. The only complaints I have heard about them are from Gen Hill, and his allegations are vague and without corrogation. On this side of the line, under conditions naturally proactive of more or less criticism, I have never heard a complaint. From the troopers themselves and their officers I have never heard a whimper or a growl. Uniformly, they are not only civil but courteous in their relations with civilians. I have never noted a soldier, even while off duty, noting any other part than that of a gentleman. Their discipline is perfect. More exceptional, however, is the common sense and moderation with which they use their authority. Making a gallant charge on the enemy is easy compared with the ordeal the troopers are going through. This is a test not only of courage, but of patience and restraint and kindness. Clearly officers and men take their lot when kept on duty one or two days at a stretch without: getting a wink of sleep. Always when on duty keeping civilians out of danger when the firing becomes heavy they are in more or less danger of being shot. During the attack early Sunday morning for instance, American officers rode through showers of so-called "stray" bullets to warn people in frame homes of their danger and to deter them to the few places in town really safe. And getting shot by a "stray" has none of the glory and glamor of being wounded on the battlefield. Though they have seen six of their fellow troopers shot by Mexicans, in one of two instances it seemed deliberately, not once so far as I am aware, have the United States troopers yielded to the natural temptation to violate orders and shoot back across the line. The behavior of the troopers stands out finest in the treatment of the Mexican women, and children, who are refugees on this side. The soldiers are their professors. When the dirty, miserable refugees themselves were too indifferent to clean up the quarters in the opera house, the soldiers did the cleaning and did the best they could to keep conditions sanitary. Troop B, North cavalry, commanded by Capt. W. B. Cowin, is in charge at the opera house. Yesterday was a busy day for them, as they had to look after arranging quarters for the Mexican wounded. The record of the Ninth and the Tenth cavalry troopers at Naco is undoubtedly a credit to their regiments. 13 MEMORIAL Mrs. Mary Ann Payne On the evening of Nov. 3rd 1913 the loving and beloved soul of Mrs Mary Ann Payne eychanged its certain tabernacle for the mansion prepared for it in Heaven. Her life extended far beyond time when according to the Psalmist, life ordinarily is but labor and sorrow, was throughout to the end crowned with Heaven's richest blossoms, which are not silver and gold or the abundance that one possesses, but righteousness, and joy and peace in the Holy Ghost; and the dark clouds which many so justly dread seemed always to break with morales on her head. Her life was a lovely Christian idol, unvexed by storm or stress, and untroubled by foes without and fears within. She always wanted to be useful striving always to help in her feeble way. She left no vacant chair, she is missed every where. The precious vase is shattered but the fragrance still lingers, cheering and encouraging those left behind, and the worn out body lies in Greenwood attaining the resurrection of the just, but the spirit that animated it still calls to her loved ones left behind to emulate her pious example. She was a loving wife for more than fifty years a loyal widow for over twenty years and a darling mother. Together in life, in death and through all Eternity. Mother's busy hands are folded Her work on earth is done. Her trials all are ended Her crown of peace is won. Soon we will hear the angles calling. Soon death's waters we must brave.

With the noblest glide of a panther the butler slipped across the floor and closed the door behind him. No one motion had been wasted. For months he had served in his mental capacity for this one opportunity. "It's about Dick's promotion, dad." For months to come he would continue to serve in order that no suspicion might rest upon him. Ten minutes later Thompson, alias Tommy the Duke,叫 "Til" Tommy and wanted for just such jobs in many police departments of the world, glided out the rear of the house, surrying across the moon, splashed parade ground and holding himself in devious wildings among the officers' homes upon the military reservation. Slipping down a narrow side street, lined with disprotable houses that leashed at drunken angles toward one another, the fifty windows winking blitarly to their neighbors, he paused before the largest of these places. His hand reached toward the bell pull. From some distant part of the house came back an echo. Slowly, very slowly, the door swung open, swallowing up the figure of the thief-butter. And there the butter and his employer made their plans. General Dumper Love, U. S. A., amused tolerantly to himself as he overheard the low voices of his aid and Lucille coming from the little cozy corner in which the young 'leutenant' had hidden his sweetheart away from the avd dancers who would have taken her away from him. Then he sighed heavily as he realised he stood on the threshold of another change, that the courtship of his aid had finally been successful and another household would soon be occupied in Officer row, leaving him alone in this great house. He wondered if all fathers felt this way, wondered if he could gladly give his daughter to another man and be happy watching that other remodel her world. And the time was so short. That very boat in the harbor now might bear the senate's confirmation of young Gibson's promotion to the rank and pay of captain. The two men had agreed that the marriage should wait on that, and the general had to admit that the aid had lived up to his word. But, then, Gibson always did that. Again the general shook his shoulders, striding briskly to his private office. Only in work could he get relief from these fits of depression. And there was always work to be done, for the little brown people loved their fighting, were never satisfied with peace and quiet. He pressed the announcer on his desk, curtly commanding the soldier who responded to send Lieutenant Gibson to 31m. General Love permitted a smile to play about the corners of his stern mouth as the rattle of a woman's skirt reached his ears simultaneously with the click of his aid's boots. Came a brief whispered conversation outside the door, then the aid stood upon the threshold at attention. Lucille hiding behind him in an attitude of mock timidity. The old man bit his muscite reliably, then smiled broadly. "Well," he demanded, fumbling among the papers that littered his desk, "what have you got to say for yourself, young woman?" Lucille slipped across the floor, twining a pair of white arms about her father's neck, the soft velvet of her cheek smoothing his brown, leathery one. It was the way she had coaxed him when a child, the way she had never outgrown or known to fall. she whispered. "It hasn't come on the Empress, and that means wait at least another month. If there was any chance of the senate's failing to confirm it we wouldn't bother you, but a month is such a long time, and Dick has some money now." "Yes, yes, yes," the general retorted grumly, a twinkle in his eye that belied the tone. "But from what I've seen tonight and the last week since Harley started his airplane maneuvers I thought there might be some change in your plans." Lucille flushed prettily, her eyes flashing a mocking smile at the stalwart young officer, who stood now with her, holding her hand. "Mr. Harley's a very nice man," she defended. "even if Dick does get jealous. Besides, a girl has to be amused somehow when busy old generals keep their officers working all day and TWO PROLOGUE In print, as on the moving picture screen, "Lucille Love" is a thrilling, rapid fire story. It takes its heroine, a young woman of charm and beauty, into the strangest of situations. There she braves the perils of sea and land for the sake of her love. As the situations unfold, with the swiftness and ease of the moving picture, the reader finds himself following, as he would the living movements of the reel, the fortunes of Lucille, her foe, Loubeque, the international spy, amid scenes of shipwreck and the wildness of nature, on sea, among the islands of the cannibals and elsewhere. But Lucille and her arch foo are not the only two in the picture and story whose movements are followed with the tribute of intense interest. The old general, Lucille's father; her lover, Lieutenant Gibson; the chief of the savages and others all stand out distinctly in the panorama of picture and story. CHAPTER 1 H 12 was swift; he was certain; he was sure. Fairly sweet the tantalizing perfume fingered in the room, and the rustle of Lacuna Love's skirts seemed still to sound against the walls of the tiny room which General Sampler Love used as his private office; the echo of Lieutenant Gibson's pleading tones had not departed when the door leading to the servant's quarters moved. A cautious fraction of an inch at a time, a sound so faint that nothing lived between it and silence succeeded the departure of the general's aid and the girl he loves, the girl he means to marry. As the butter's face framed itself on the threshold the door was opened that led to the ballroom, a burst of music vibrated there, then all was silence. The butter closed the door swiftly behind him and glided across the floor, stopping before the safe, his dexterous fingers manipulating the knobs with a careless certainty C Lucille Love. that spoke of the master cracksman, his face against the cold steel, his ears fairly peaked with the tensility of his listening for the click of falling tumblers. His expression betrayed no anxiety. He knew his worth, knew the pregnability of the safe in which his master placed so great confidence and to which he had consigned the papers and orders he had just received from Washington until the ball was ever and he had time to study the instructions at his tealure. The cracksman heaved a sigh of relief as his sensitive finger tips told him the last tumbler had fallen. The great iron door swung open to his toug. He was swift; he was certain; he was sure. Not a paper was disarranged. His fingers fluttered like little white birds, drifting among the general's papers with a certitude that bespoke great familiarity. With a sigh of relief beheaded at the seated packet he had just seen the army officer receive 'and' place there. The butler thrust it into his pocket, drawing out a package of bank notes and putting it in the tiny vault where the papers had been. The door closed notty, the knobs whirling under the man's touch. Again he waited, listening, listening. The vibration of the dancer's feet continued for a second, the strains of mu- A THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA. night." "I'll think it over, dear," the general said kindly, "immediately I get through with the orders that came tonight. Lleoutmout," he said briskly, "you put the orders and papers from Washington, in the safe, as I told you? Will you get them for me?" The aid disbanded a bit, his fingers playing at the gold strap at his side. "Why, why, general," he stammered. "I left the combination memorandum in my room. Lleoutmout was waiting and—" "Get it!" snapped the old man. The slightest infraction of military system touched his heart on the raw. He studied his aid curiously when he returned and began fumbling with the knives of the safe. The door opened, and the lieutenants band automatically rushed inside toward the place where he had put the packet. An expression of incredulous dismay was upon his face as he drew out a bundle of banknotes. "Why, I don't remember these" he cried. Then with an expression of relief, "You have already been here sir." "No." General Love's tooth was per- emptery, crackling. He did not relish delay of any sort. "Come, come, come the papers I gave you, bountiful." "General, they are--not--there" "Not there." Like the crackling of fire in dry twigs is the old man's voice. "Not there, sir! Then perhaps they, too, may be in your room." "No, sir. I distinctly recall placing them in the order box. There was no money there at the time." But two men had access to that safe; but two men knew of the arrival of M. K. "Oh, father!" the orders and papers. General Lore suddenly rose, the chair wrapping snugly upon the tense silence. "Lieutenant Gibson," he began, his voice rivating the sound of the scraping chair. "Lucille mentioned a moment ago that you had suddenly acquired sufficient money to justify an immediate marriage." "You, mr. A Legacy"— General Love Murray his disbelter General Love shorted his distiller. "Leaving the combination of this safe, with secrets which are invaluable to the United States, with secrets that would be of unold value to the enemies of the United States, with secrets that might mean the sacrifice of not territory, but countless lives—does that not strike you as strange, not to say jealous, that such a precious thing should be left in your room, lientendant." The tones of the general's voice had risen, a snowy vibrating through every syllable. "The papers, Leutenant Gibson—immediately! This is your last chance." "I placed them in the safe, and they are not there now, sir." The tones were quiet, cold, determined. "You will go to your quarters, sir, and consider yourself under arrest. The humiliation of an escort will be spared you. However, there will be a guard about the place." A faint little cry of protect, "Oh, father!" sounded clear and distinct against the dead silence. The young man's hand fell from salute as he stepped swiftly toward his sweetheart. General Love's arm reached out and drew the mobbing girl to him, his left hand outstretched as though the mere touch of his aid would be deiling. Gibson halted in his tracka. Again his arm rose stiffly in salute; then without a word he burned, his steps falling fainter and fainter upon the ears of the pair who listened with teeden beards. A Man With but One Thought. HUGO LOUBEQUE turned the paraset of papers and orders overt and over in his hand, a brooding expression in his eyes that told his thoughts were very far away from the bitter cracksman who had just brought them to him. A massive figure of a man, he seemed to all the room with his presence, the chair in which he sat seemed to have been built about him, the room itself with its magnificent furnishings was dwarfed by its occupant. Greatest of international spies, the rise and fall of many nations might have been placed at his door, rivers of blood had burst their barriers at the touch of those powerful fingers, yet all his thoughts were directed toward rovengo against one man, toward the destruction of General Love Over and over he turned the stolen papers. Only another link, it was in the chain he was drawing about the old army officer. The butler congelled nervously, and his master looked up, waving him away without a word of praise. The mini-but but done his duty. Hugo Louise is expected that. With the rules of every hope swamming about her, without a thought save the need for a complete and friend in time of distress, Nicole took up the telephone to speak with her chum, the wife of a young officer who had only just reached the past month before. For a second, sexuallyized by suffering though her mind was, she did not catch the significance of the orphens being given by the ransom whose wires had crossed her own. Then a feeling of faintness caused her to reel at the power and strength, she caught in the tones. She listened, comparing her four in one trumpet throb of love for the imprisoned officer: "General Love's orders and papers are in my possession now. For Shanghai on the Empress tonight. Have the launch ready." And then the buzzing of the instrument told her that she could hear no note. She rushed to the window, her heart shaking at sight of the smoke curls spawning from the big tiger's funnels. The Empress was ready—ready—and her sweetheart was arrested. Resolution so valuable as to be indelible urge her across the floor and out the door. She did not stop to analyze the impulse which urged her feed across the parade ground, down the streets of Manila toward the dock. A and despair possessed her as she caught the signs of readiness from the Empress and saw there was no boat to take her out to the ship which carried the precious orders. She beat her they fists fiercely together. There must be a way. There must be. Faintly to her ears came a humming sound from the boat. It reminded her of another sound she had heard recently, a sound she identified with the solution of her problem - Harley and his agelane. It was a five miles, but her horse could do the distance in short time. Faster even than she had reached the dock did she get to the stables. No time for saddling, for anything save the wild ride before her. Through the moonlight she dashed, the little mare accepting this new frank of his mistress with delight.' The aviator had only just returned from the dance when she flung herself from the mare and grasped him fiercely by the shoulders, slinking him in the vehemence of her command. He stared at her unbelieving as he made out what she desired, but there was something in the entreatling eyes, the drawn face, that told her deadly earnestness. "It means the honor of the man I love." Harley turned away, turned toward the giant plane. Breathless she watched him, waiting his decision. There was a curiously twisted smile upon his lips when he faced her again "Get in," he motioned. Hugo Loubeque leaned against the liner's rail, pencil poised over the open page of the diary which was headed "Loubeque's Account With Love." Items upon that page had been canceled, more remained clear. The hand started to draw through one of these last when family to his ears reached down a drumming sound from the heavens. As his eyes wandered up the great bird in mid-heaven grew more and more distinct, the figures of a man and woman emerging. A grim smile crossed the skys' face as he put the diary and pencil back in his pocket, for Hugo Loubeque was thorough, and the item might not be canceled yet. Gregory Hugo Loubue watched the aerospace approach- the Empress, Ruthless, above all authority, next to omnipotent with the power he had given his life to build up that he might be revered upon the man who had brought about his ruin early in life, the international spy watched this attempt at interference with his plans—for such he instinctively knew it to be—keenly. Cheers rose from the deck at the masterly manipulation of the plane. Then the aviator's purpose of landing on the liners' deck became clear. The explosions of the motor died out abruptly. Then the plane swooped down toward the deck nose-on, righted itself and glided to a perfect landing. Lucille separated herself quickly from the passengers. She was beginning to think again, to realize what a task lay before her. The orders and papers of her father were upon the boat, but who carried them she did not know. Of all these hundreds any one might be the thief. Harley interrupted her mood of black depression, taking her hand and wishing her luck. The encouragement filmed her eyes, blinding out the sight of the aviator as he started his engine once more THE FIGHT "It means the honor of the man I love." and, with one short glide, rose toward the threshold he loved. Her slender figure straightened as she turned from the rail, her head uplifted itself courageously, almost defiantly. The sound of her own name, repeated twice in a hoarse whisper of incredulity, brought her out of her abstraction. She looked wonderingly at the man who had called her by name, amazed at the emotions twitching his powerful face. Hugo Louteque mastered himself with an effort. He had never as the general's daughter before, this girl with the face and form of her mother, and this apparent resurrection of what had been a living memory so long had stunned him out of his usual composure. "I beg your pardon," he murmured as she passed him. "I thought I recognized"—He stopped abruptly, amazed at the expression of delight and craft and joy and guile which mingled on her face as she stopped and stared into his face, and in the clash of eyes the man knew that this silt of a girl recognized him for her enemy. Linnie starred after his retreating figure, her lips parted, her eyes twin stars for the hope that had been kindled there. "The voice on the telephone," she whispered over and over to herself. The international spy paced up and down the floor of his suit, for the first time in years a prey to emotions that threatened to overwhelm him. The message in his eyes had been clear. This girl knew that the papers his underling had stolen from the general's safe were in his possession. She was his enemy, determined to go appalling lengths to thwart him, just as he must forget the instinctive love he had felt for her, this girl who came from the sky and stirred up visions of days when he had known such a thing as happiness. He settled himself in a chair, closing his eyes while he rearranged all he knew of the general's household. Undoubtedly the general's aid, with whom she was in love, had been charged with the theft. His sonner eyes glowed at the completeness of the have he had wrought. Not alone had General Love been struck, but his entire household. It was an hour before Loubeque rose and moved toward the door, an expression in his eyes which told the problem had worked itself out. In the wireless room he wrote out his message, waiting idly while he watched the operator adjust his helmet and send the message hurting back to Munlin. He wondered at the indifference of the wireless man to the import of the message. "Not the aid. General Love sold me papers." The operator turned indifferently. "Signature?" he queried. The international spy shook his head, smiling at the expression of interest kindled in the young man's eyes. He must for once do work of the most difficult sort and do it himself instead of trusting it to a subordinate. To do this he must ingratiate himself with this man. That accoutuntary message must not be answered. Undoubtedly upon its receipt at Manila an investigation would be started, which would open with finding the source of the original charge. To obviate this the wireless must be put out of order, must be wrecked so thoroughly it would be impossible to repair it until the Empress was out of the zone of communication. It was a matter of hours before he got his opportunity, the operator leaving his board and going to the saloon. Hugo Loubeque wasted not a second. The sound of the man's boots had not ceased to sound before the box lay open, before the spy. His hands moved like lightning, carrying out the plan he had conceived as the safest and most effective from the instructions of the operator. In and out his fingers moved, loosening a screw here, a wire there. GENERAL LOVE sat at his desk trying vainly to figure out what motive there could have been for his trussed aid's taking the desperate chance of which he had accused him. But no matter in which direction he turned, the general was unable to see how the young officer could be honest. Where had he received the money so unexpectedly, that led him to believe he might be married before his promotion was confirmed? And yet-always there was that "you" to contend with. He knew the boy, knew him so well he had been willing to intrust his daughter's life to him, and he could not believe that Gibson was guilty of the charge. "He was roused from the reverie into which he had fallen by the entrance of his orderly, who told him of Luclelle's flight to the Empress. Alarmed, the general sent for Harley. Briety Harley told of his trip to the Empress with Luclelle, the earnestness of her pleadings, the final words that had won his consent. "For the honor of the man I love." Over and over again he repeated the words, writing to make something of them. Of course she meant Gibson, but what could she shed out on the Empress relating to the rubbery of the safe in this office? Puzzled be ordered his ally brought before him. There was a certain suspicion, an air of contempt in the very figure of Gibson that told A The Orderly Told Him of Lucille's Flight. the superior he was himself under another's suspicion. It was more than puzzling, more than battling—that accoustory pair of frank gray eyes. "Leutemann." he began slowly, "I have tried to think of some solution to this affair that will not involve you. You must realize how greatly I desire this. But I have thought for hours and there seems no other explanation of the disappearance of the papers I turned over to you. Can you suggest some other person that might possibly have an interest in their disappearance." "I can, sir," steadily answered the old man, his eyes holding those of the older man. "I am not, however, insubordinate nor insolvent to my superior officer." The smuddering flame in General Love's eyes kept high as he gramped the seminacusation. By an effort he mastered himself, forcing his voice to standness. "Harley, the aviator, has just reported that Lucille came to him this evening and persuaded him to take her to the Empress. She evidently felt she possessed information that would clear you of this charge and that the Empress was carrying the guilty party. Can you tell me anything of such knowledge?" Gibson stared incredulously at his superior. Could it be possible that this old man was willing to make his daughter a scapegoat for his crime? No! it was all too unbelievable. And yet the general must have sold the papers. He could see no other explanation. But what was this tale of landing aboard the Empress in an aeroplane? The orderly again entered, silently passing a Marconigram across the desk. Gibson stared wonderingly at his chief, wondering at the purpelling of his already world face. Suddenly with a choking hush the old man tossed the wireless to his aid, the last blow of Hugo Loubeque: "Not the old. General Love sold me papers." The lightenant felt a warm throb of pity for the old man. The general straightened slowly, rising from his chair. "Somewhere, somehow there is an explanation," he muttered. "And Lacie is all that stands between us and disgrace. You will come with me, lieutenant." "Yes, sir. You have some idea"— "To the provincial governor," curtly answered the old soldier, "until this charge can be sifted. Meanwhile, we will wait until there is word from Lucille in answer to the message I sent." "A message? You did not mention that." "Certainly I sent a message immediately Harley told his story. We can drop in there on the way to the governor's mansion." Gibson nodded shortly. He was in a haze still, feeling that his suspicions of the old officer had been unfounded, knowing that some evil brain was conliving at their destruction. Gibson did not notice the general's orderly hurrying toward them until the man halted in salute there on the parade grounds, the moon casting an eerie shadow across his olive khaki. "Sir," he reported, "the operator has tried to reach the Empress, but there is no response. Her wireless must be disabled." General Love stared at his aid. Fear gleamed in the eyes of both men, a mutual fear for a mutual object. Who was this unseen enemy who struck such fierce blows from out of the dark? And Locille, sweetheart and daughter; Locille, the pampered, daly, fragile Locille was undoubtedly near this one who even commanded the lightness to do his will. Curiously Hugo Loubeque watched the operator as he settled back in his chair, almost immediately receiving the flash that a message was on the way to him from some unseen, unknown source. Came a long silver of light that seemed to nudge the switchboard violently from its fastpings, a shaft that reached out and pierced him through and through, blinding him with its bursting light vapor. Then Loubeque felt himself falling, falling into a pit that seemed to have no bottom. It was hours before he could piece together what had happened, how he chanced to be in bed, what the cause of the terrible throbbing palms upon his arms and torso was. Then the wonder of Lucille's being with him, ministering to him, drove every pain away and he watched her from under cover of his heavy lashes as she moved about the stutterroom, quiet, cool, sympathetic. He straightened in bed so abruptly as to bring a mean of anguish from his lips. In the lassitude induced by THE BATTLE Loubeque Felt Himself Falling. his burns and the shock of the wireless room explosion he had concentrated the forty years that were past into the living presence of the daughter of the woman he had loved at that time. And she was his enemy. He must not show resentment of her kindly interest, must not betray the fact that he had papers for which she was looking. The coincidence of her tending him was too strange to be unpremeditated. "You are very kind," he said. "There was an explosion in the wireless room, was there not? "You must get talk till the surgeon comes," she smiled. "I must obey orders, you know, because I am only a volunteer." "A volunteer; You volunteered to help a stranger." "But you are not a stranger." She smiled curiously. "You knew my name and that made me feel really acquainted when you were hurt." There was something penetrating in the eyes fastened upon his own, something gulleyful about the suggestive expression of her tones that put him instantly on guard. Day followed day with ever his facilities fastened on the necessity for caution. A curious sort of friendlily sprang up between them, a friendlily partaking more of an armed neutrality without the formality of a flag of truce than anything else he could imagine. With the alleviation of Hugo Lou beque's sufferings the old animosity and purpose flourished with redoubtable vigor. This girl had undoubtedly sought the opportunity of nursing him that she might defeat his purpose. She was the daughter of the man he had spent his life in working out a complete degradation for. He must fight down the weakness which assailed him when her resemblance to the Lu clide of forty years ago aurged strong THE MUSICIAN And Lecilia felt the change, felt it and rebounded her effort to get the secret of the stolen papers. The guilt --- of the game was in her, and she yielded a grudging admiration for the cunning of the man who, even in his most acute suffering, managed to conceal everything from her. Even in delirium his powerful brain resisted her suggestions, her blinks. And in one of her days of ministration to him she discovered the diary in which he had entered his strange worldwide actions. The international spy was able to walk about his room now, his eye showing the satisfaction he felt at thwarting her. They played chess together, dined together, with always the armed defence between them, a state of mind so obvious as to have been ludicrous had they not both been so conscious of it. Many times she thought the strain was more than she could bear, when she doubted the wisdom of this trip. And always would come morbid pictures of her sweetheart to sustain her in her determination to clear him of the charge under which he rested. CHAPTER IV. It was on the eighth day out that the spy suddenly spring to his feet, darting swiftly to the door of the stateroom. She stared at him in astonishment, amazed at the change which had come over him. His life must have made him more than uniquely sensitive to impressions, for a full quarter hour clapped after he had resumed his seat before a barely perceptible thudding sound came from beneath the deck. Perhaps it may have been the promotion of the silent man, perhaps forbidding of all disaster on her own part that took her to the deck. The captain had quit the bridge and stood at the door of the engine room, his face betraying the anxiety he tried to conceal from his passengers. Louder, louder grew the thudding sound, followed now by a retching like the ripping of a rotten cloth. "A boiler in the engine room," Lou beque said quietly, when she returned to his suit. She stared at the spy incredulously. Came another thought with that of helplessness, a thought of which she felt ashamed for the second. If word came to the worst this man would attempt to save, to take with him his most priceless possession. If only she could find out where the stolen papers were concealed she would get them. It was not wrong to take advantage of the weakness of a physical invalid who possessed such giant mental strength. Mimicking with the horrid retching sound came a long hiss. The spy strangled to his feet again and opened the door. Passengers were rushing wildly about the decks, their faces betraying the object terror they felt. At the rail stood the captain and second mate suppressing the lowering of the lifeboats. A white faced steward banged against the door, thrusting his head inside. "Fire" he whispered, then, as though ashamed for the fear which had robbed him of his voice. "It's one to the boats"— Laetite turned away, a skeleton clutching at her heart. Fire Fire out here on the broad ocean and never a sight of land since Manila. What could she do? She suddenly was conscious of Huge Louiseque's swift motions. The spy darted across the room and drew from the top drawer of his desk a package of papers which he hurriedly replaced as she turned. There was something on his counterance which told her the truth, told her that he had revealed the secret of the stolen papers. He clapped the drawer shut, reassuming his aspect of indifference as he brushed her away from the door. Quick as the spring of a cat she secured the papers while he strapped to the deck, apparently to study the situation. When he returned she was moving carelessly about the room, wearing so inexistent an expression that he studied her suspiciously a second. Their eyes met, and he sprang to the desk, slapping open the drawer so violently its contents fell upon the floor. As he whirled upon her she saw in his face that the truce was at an end, that he knew of his loss and would stop at nothing to regain his secret. Swiftly she sprang through the open door, losing herself in the mass of passengers huddled against the rail. Below them sounded that horrible blasting sound, the sound of unbridled fire. Lucille felt an overmastering impulse within her to remain with this terror, anything save the great, threatening ocean that looked so monstrous now, waiting the tiny craft that creaked down from the davits. Then powerful arms were about her. She felt herself being lifted and hurled forward, budding down in the crowded boat that was being lowered to the waves. A hand reached out and rested upon her shoulder. For a second she was unconscious of it, then something steady, indomitable about the clutch of finger tips made her turn. Hugo Loubeque smiled into her eyes, smiled with the plying expression of an invincible one who grieves for the weakest that dashes against him. Her eyes upraised toward the boat, a mass of whilah smoke now through which leaped playful, reddish flames. Now and then a figure would dart toward the rail and lunge overboard, the bodies striking the water in great circles that lost themselves in one an A White Elephant on Her Hands THE ELEPHANT That was one of the many remarkable experiences that befell the heroine of our thrilling new serial story of many lands LUCILLE LOVE No Other Woman Ever Had So Many Wonderful Adventures other. And for a second the thought came to her that even that inferno of a ship was preferable to this man beside her. "Well played. Miss Love," the spy murmured silkly. "But I fear you must return the"— A piercing shriek made him turn swiftly, a shriek that lost itself in the heavy crunching of wooden oars against wood. Came a horrid bumping that seemed more like the crunching of a wild beast upon bones than anything she had ever, heard. Heat, intense, steaming, bent upon her cheeks. She looked up and only the dark hulk of the Empress loomed above her, only a hurid fame illuminated the heavens. She was conscious of her heavy clothing, sodden now with water; was conscious of the lack of support. Something long and wooden tilted against her, and instinctively her fingers clutched the ear which had flouted out to her from their boat, which had been towled and crushed against the burning liner's side. Again she looked up. And within her soul flickered the spark of combat which youth will not allow to die. Consciousness lapsed slightly and was followed by a state of dull apathy. Some instinct held Lucille's arms upon the ear that had flouted to her when the lifeboat smashed itself against the side of the burning Empress. Mountains of waves lifted along her path, bearing her gently to their crests and passing her through the trough of sea to the next wave in line. From watching the myriad stars glazing in the heavens she became interested in trites, never thinking of the precious papers she had resued At so great effort from the international ap, forgetting even the ones at Manila on whose behalf she had taken such risks to get them back. Came a long interval of restfulness where everything grew dim and indistinct, and the water in which she was being tossed about seemed like a fostering mother upon which, in perfect confidence, she could rest her weary head and sleep. Little missiles continually prickle at her flesh brought her from slumber so abruptly she straightened bolt up right, stirring about her incredulously. Every nerve and shew of her body ached terribly, crumpling her so she could barely look about the long expanse of beach that seemed to stretch interminably in every direction. Behind her she finally managed to clear her eyes enough to make out a luxurious vegetation, obviously tropical. Safety meant little to her. Her brain was in such a state that the providential escape seemed natural. That she was alone upon an island in the Pacific seemed simple enough. Nothing mattered. Again she closed her eyes and gave herself over to slumber, which lasted until nightfall Securely hobble by the thick vegetation, she settled down, taking a firm grip on herself and trying to reassume the things that had happened to her in such fashion that she might know what was lost to be done. And always primarily did her thoughts revert to the papers concealed in the bosom of her dress, the papers and the man who sought them. The papers. Undoubtedly there was something in them which would affront That was one of the heroine of our thrilling new LUCIL The No Other Woman Ever READ LUCILLE LOVE THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. To save the honor of her father and her lover this plucky American girl pursued a ship in an aeroplane, was wrecked on a desert shore, was captured by savages, was kidnapped by her enemy, Loubeque, the International Spy, and was the central figure in a score of other wonderful experiences. the Caw. She stared at the oiled belt thoughtfully, fighting down the instinct which repelled her touching the secrets of another. The bulky envelope from Washington to her father which the butler had stolen from the safe was still unbroken. She placed the packet to one side, knowing that if the spy did not care to investigate the contents there could be nothing in them which would assist her. The diary she investigated next. Thoughtfully Luclie sat there, the diary in her lap, the picture of her mother in her hands. She knew the life of Hugo Loubeque now, knew the dominating hatred of his life, the love of his life, the gigantic efforts of the man, involving nations and humanity, the thousand tentacles of the man, stretching to every quarter of the globe. But as she looked at the Yaded picture the spy had cherished through all the years tears of pity filmed her eyes, pity for the man who could allow love to associate itself inseparably with hatred. She realized now that destiny itself was fighting in her behalf; that, glint intellect though he was. Hugo Loubeque had more than herself to contend with because of the unnatural baseness of his motives. But it was a fight, would be a fight to the bitter end. She must find out where she was, what nature of place this might be, what chance for rescue there was. She must get back to Manaila, for the papers were no better than rags here. She must start immediately. A long shadow suddenly reached out before her. Motionless she stood and stared at it. From another direction came the crackling report of a broken twig. In every direction, as though the sound had been a signal, windows fitted. The sounds were border now, more frequent. Then, with a rush, Lucille saw the windows resolve themselves into figures of men. She had but time to make out their brown color, four blinding her. She closed her eyes fearfully, knowing she was surrounded. A hand touched her forearm thinly. Something in the touch was reassuring. She looked about upon a solid ring of scantily clad, natives, who stared at her in bewildered amazement. Again the hand touched her arm. The native stood beside her, evidently much bolder than his fellows. Lucille could scarcely repress a shuffle as she caught the incredulity on the man's face as he looked at his hand, evidently expecting the white of her hair to rub off. They had never before seen a white woman. And the girl was thinking how she might use the thing which must appear a miracle to them. Lucille stayed close to the chief; the one who had touched her arm. An old man he was from the heavy wrinkles that crisscrossed his face but his torso was magnificently muscular, his carriage that of a man to whom obedience always comes. There was something very splendid about his steady black eyes narrowed a bit as though to hint of Mongolian origin about the thin nostrilled nose, the full lips. COUNT VON MOLTKE.

We note with pleasure the publication in the editorial columns of the Richmond, Va. News-Leader, entitled, "Colored Quarters." We are pleased to observe that there is a return to a same conservative discussion of existing conditions, where the interests of the whole people are to be considered as in contrast to those of the favored few. There has been a persistent attempt to create impression that the colored people of this community were endeavoring to settle in white districts and to embarrass and anger the white people of this community. As a matter of fact, no such condition existed. White people, who had bought in the outlying districts of the city and who resided in the neighborhood of the colored people or on the border-line, so to speak sold their property to colored people and with the money thus obtained paid for their more modern residences. This created a storm of protest from those other property owners, who were not able to obtain purchasers for their property among colored people at the price they demanded and then came the segregation ordnances. They have been flaunted in the faces of the colored people until we have reached the stage where respectable colored people residing in colored neighborhoods have been ordered to move out of their own houses. The absurdity of the proposition is apparent upon its face. The editorial comment of the News-Leader is in keeping with common sense and we hope all of our people will read it. JUDGE FRANK CARTER. In Superior Court Starts an Investigation that May Put an End to Pasquetbank County's Most Disgrueful Institution. The Independent, Elizabeth City An investigation of the conduct of the Pasquoland County convict camp or chain gang started by Judge Frank Carter in the Superior Court of this county Tuesday afternoon has already verified the charges repeatedly made by this newspaper, and more. Judge Carter's investigation had to be halted yesterday morning to wait upon the report of the Southern Express, and the Northeast Southern Rail Road who have been ordered to show the number of shipments of liquor located by the officers and awards of the chain mong from April 1923 to date. The investigation will be resumed at noon Saturday. Sensational developments are expected. The evidence already noted by Judge Carter, and the investigation only begun, indicates that the condition of the convicts and the brutality of their guards is even worse than the Independent had suspected. The evidence so far shows: 1. Excessive drinking upon the part of the guards while on duty, causing that the convicts are not in proportion to the hands of irresponsible drunks, armed with guns. A guard may shot a convict upon provocation. It doesn't take much to provoke a斗架 under the influence of humor. One case of a convict being shot by a guard has already cost the guard hundreds of dollars. 2. Convicts are often liberally shipped when the Supreme Court is especially ruled that to whip a convict in an assault and the guard who whips a convict is amenable to law. Whipping convicts seems to have been a pleasurable pastime with whom many guards and none has ever been called to account for it. Many convicts carry marks of whippings that may never heal. 3. Many convicts are shackled with heavy iron. The arms work into the flesh of their ankles, producing hideous running sore. These sore never heal because the irons are never removed. 4. Convicts who have rebelled against such inhuman treatment have had from collars padlocked around their necks and chained to the ground. This practice may have been discontinued within the past few weeks. The purpose of Judge Carter's investigation is to determine whether the Pasquotank chain gang is a sit place to which to sentence criminals. Convicts from many counties are sent to the Pasquotank Camp, the counties preferring this because it saves them the expense of keeping their convicts in jail. Conditions so far revealed are so bad that one Negro sentenced to six montha imprisonment this week by Judge Carter was ordered to jail. The county must feed this Negro but it must not work him on the chain gang. MAY END THE SYSTEM Just what the result of this investigation may bring, forth no one knows. It may mean bills of indemnity for the guards, for their Chief Frank Weeks and for the members of the Board of County Commissioners who have permitted these conditions to exist. It will in all probability result in ending the chain gang in Panquottank County. It seems almost certain that Judge Carter will not sentence any more criminals from any county to work on this gang. Other judges will no doubt be influenced by Judge Carter's action. This would mean that the constell camp would automatically go out of existence for want of convicts. The guards taking fright have resigned. The guards are Bill Harris, Jim Cartwright and Jim Scott. The boss of the gang is Frank Weeks. The man above Weeks is Eugene V. Scott, Road Master, member of the County Commissioners. The Chairman of the Board of Commissioners is Goo. M. Scott, Mr. Scott has always opposed Weeks and his methods, but he admitted to Judge Carter Tuesday that he didn't know the actual conditions of one convicts. "There are many things in this county you don't know Mr. Scott; there are many things that you ought to know; I am convinced that you have been very reminis in your duties." Mr. Scott winced under the reprimand. There is no mistaking Judge Carter's determination to go to the bottom of things and punish somebody for the horrible state of affairs that has existed for years in this county without a protest from county officials, from the churches, or from any one in fact except The Independent alone. The Pasquotank county chal gang has long been a damping shame to this community. We build churches in China and go abroad seeking heathen who need spiritual pap. And here at our very doors human beings rot in chalng, are flogged till they bleed and carry marks for life; and Christians comfortably disposed among the pews of their churches sing of the "Sweet bye-and-bye" while the brutal keepers of the helpless convicts play cards and drink cheap liquor. It is no economic motive prompting Judge Carter in this investigation. The little Judge doesn't care a rap whether the convicts earn their keep building roads, or not. It isn't the economic, it is the humane asset that interests him. He says: "The fact that a man is a neuro and a criminal does not remove his human status. People need not think that because a man is black and in prison that he has no rights which white men are bound to respect. We are not going to have the horrors of the institution of slavery perpetuated here in North Carolina. The time will come in this state when the North Carolina chain gang system will be as severely re-probated as slavery was." Judge Carter in his charge to the grand jury Monday morning laid especial emphasis upon the duty of the jurors to investigate the condition of the county jail and the chain gang. Judge Carter did not know it that time that conditions on the chain gang in Pasquotank County were bad. As a matter of fact, no complaints against the local chain gang had at that time reached Judge Carter's ears. Complaints did reach him however, later in the day. The following morning Judge Carter started the investigation by ordering the sheriff to have every convict in the county brought into court at 2:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Judge Carter ordered that the convicts be brought in just as they were, in their court clothes and trous. A miserable picture was presented to the court Tuesday afternoon when the chin gang gang into court. They didn't file "injunction" they hobbled and lingered in. The clash and clatter of their chains ended so out of place in a so called "temple of justice." "An investigator of this sort is very difficult," said the judge. "A convict camp is a close corporation. The convict is at the mercy of his keepers. A convict could not be expected to tell the whole truth about a cruel keeper in a court, because he would fear punishment at the hands of that keeper when he returned to camp. I am therefore going to make it possible for those men to testify without fear of being punished for anything they may tell me. I shall take them in a room one by one. I will have no one with me in that room, but the Court stenographer. We will not ask out man his name. The testimony of these men will then be arraigned, not in the order in which the men came into the room, but in irregular order so that no one can by any possible means know what any man has told." "When I met the truth with these men," said Judge Carter, "I shall know the truth in a general way. There is no way in which these men can arrest the man whose falsehood to tell me and I have and enough experience with witness to judge when men are telling the truth." The examination of the convicts must be one consumed more than two hours. When Judge Carter had examined the last of the convicts and returned to the bench, he appeared livid with naivety and information. "I have seen enough," he said. "It makes my heart hurry." SENTENCED FOR MURDER. Eighteen Years in The Penitentiary. After having eluded the police for more than three years, Curtis Slater colored, was brought to the bar in the Hustings Court Wednesday to answer a charge of murdering George Williams, also colored, and was convicted of murder in the second degree. The jury brought in a verdict of eighteen years in the penitentiary, and counsel for the defense immediately moved the court to overrule the verdict on the ground that it was contrary to law and evidence. Judge Richardson overruled the motion, and the prisoner was sentenced. Slater broke into the house of Josephine Page on the night of May 4, 1911, and, after attacking her, stabbed Williams through the heart. Snatching 50 ceas from Josephine, Slater fled the house, and managed to make his way to Norfolk, and thence to New York, where he was finally arrested. Josephine has since embarked on a career of crime herself, and is now ready to join Slater when he enters the penthouse. FOOTBALL GAME. Don't fall to see the game Monday.

The courts and not the press must settle the controversy regarding the transfer of Immunuel Baptist church. Whether the proposed transfer of the church property be valid and whether the recent amendment to the segregation ordinance be binding are questions that can only be determined by judicial inquiry. But readers will readily see that back of this controversy is the great and vital question of providing adequate living quarters for our colored population. Richmond people do not need to be reminded that a city which employs thousands of colored people as domestics, as operatives and as laborers cannot get the maximum return for wages paid unless these workers live decently. A cook who sleeps with half a dozen other persons in a crowded room on some back street is not, in the nature of things, a good servant; a laborer 'who is crowded with his family into two foul rooms in the back of some filthy shanty cannot be efficient. More than this, we must appreciate the fact that when we permit insultary conditions to exist among our colored population as a result of over crowding, we mention the physical well being of the entire city. A high death rate among our negroes inevitably means an increasing rate among the whites. The cook or nurse who contracts tuberculosis is not kept by any special Providence from infecting the musts she serves or the infant she attends. Still more back is the consideration that over-crowding and immorality, go together a consideration which has a special bearing at this time. We are within two years to attempt the enforcement of statutory prohibition in Richmond and we are determined to give it a fair test. All of the city's police are agreed that the most difficult field of enforcement will be in the over-crowded, congested colored quarters. We must give our colored people more space in which to live. Common justice demands it. Conditions in their principal residential section north of Clay street have become unbearable. They either must take their chances in a ramble with death must leave Richmond or must find new homes here. The only question which fair minded Richmond will raise is how it will provide these homes, and where it will locate them. Two years ago we had an active housing association which itself to solve the problem. It did good work for many months and filed a report which should have been read by every citizen of Richmond. But through lack of cooperation on the part of those from whom it had reason to expect support, the housing association could not carry out its program. Its work should be revived and given all the encouragement of the city government. Relief cannot be deferred. Something must be done quickly. FROM TROY N. Y. Troy, N.

Violent conflict, which have been raging for several days, along with ends of the far flung line in West Flanders, In Liege, to the France Prussian trenches on the east have resulted in many deaths of the Germans, as a result of the conflict. Vale, in the south of the Yorkshire met with a host well defended in the part of the allie, whose lives have been strongly remanded. The heavy artillery with the latter, are brought up to aid in their advance on Calais has not been a effective as was the right it would be. Nor has the karsen's point of view at any cost spared the forces under his command to effect what have been crowned with greater sure that hitherto. The smashing dash against the allied forces on the western end of the battle front in Belgium in the reefs near Nieuwport and Dixmande was dealt a severe blow by the Belgian French and British forces, and the war office in Paris announced that the allies have been able to gain much ground south of Dixmande. On the other end of the line the French army continues its advance into German territory. In fighting it most severe character the invader who had established a strong position near Nancy and Toul, have now been driven across the frontier into their own territory, with the French troops in hot pursuit. Desperate fighting continues along all parts of the line in France, with the Germans in immediate danger of losing their bittersweet impregnable positions. On a minute scale the status of the opposing armies in upper belts ran parallel to the conditions, who prevailed when the German risk toward Paris was observed. The German forward movement has been characterized by an even greater pro-digality of men than was shown in the march In the direction of Paris. The invaders succeeded for days in battering their way and then suddenly came something which caused them to pause. Since' Saturday no German gain has been recorded, and it is apparent that the allies have either brought up such strong reinforcements or en-trenched them elsewhere so well, or both that the Germans must sacrifice man after man for every sort of ground. The flat country in West Plantersporn permits no such centrally located areas made the area of the villages in France famous, but the Britains and Belgians with wartships of their backs have on themselves in who never praised a while throwing out every off-task possible to make for their economy. Whether German can drive forces like a ram through to allied barrier as a task, the result of which is to decide the success or failure of her plan to reach Calais and in there set motion a bombardment scheme to harass England on the other hand the failure of the German forces to progress. It is maintained by military observers. In England probably would mean another retreat. The statement issued by the official press bureau indicated how slowly each side must feel its way among the hundreds of little Belgian villages. To go forward without careful reconnaissance would be extremely perilous, so it is never known whether a village is merely occupied by harmless citizens or by armed forces ready to attack. The admirably has not yet admitted that the monitors working off the fuglian coast have sustained any damage, though the Germans claim to have reached the vessels, with their artillery. The Germans continue to send big masses of troops to the westward and the southwestward, according to a dispatch from Ternouzeff, Holland, published in the Amsterdam Courant. A message to this effect has been sent to London by the Amsterdam correspondent of Reuter's Telegram company. The Ternouzeff message says further that the kills who approached Thielt Saturday were repulsed by fresh German troops. On Sunday 10,000 Austrians arrived at Ghent, where only a few Germans remain. The following are the official bulletins: PARIS "There is nothing to report except some progress on our part in the region to the south of Dixmude. "The fighting continues to be particularly irritated between the two." of the Year and the region of Lens. In this part of the front the allied forces have drawn back at no point and they have continued to make progress in the region between Ypres and Roulers. "In the general region between Soissons and Berry-pu-Bac an artillery engagement resulted in our advance THE MUSICIAN Photo by American Press Association tage and the destruction of several batteries of the enemy. "In the region to the east of Nancy between the forest of Buzange and the forest of Parry, we have assu- med the offensive and driven the en- emy across the frontier." BERLIN. "The battle on the Yser canal near Ypres and southwesterly from Lille is proceeding with the same bombiness. Tuesday the German troops made progress. "On the other battle front in the western theater no important events have occurred. "In the western areas German successes continue. Verdam, which has been fiercely defended for many weeks, has been cut off from help by the destruction of forts between that point and Teul. It will be impossible for help to reach Verdam, and the surrender or destruction of that fortress is only a matter of time. "To the west of Nivenshove the attack of the German forces is slowly proceeding. To the southwest of War aw our troops have repaired all the attacks of strong Russian forces. North of Nivenshove a new Russian army corps has been set off the Vittula." BATTLE AT WARSAW, SAYS BERLIN REPORT Zeppelins Aid Bombardment of Polish Capital Fighting is in progress about the walk of Waraw, the capital of Poland, and Zeppelin airships are aid ing in the bombardment of that city says an official statement issued by the war office in Berlin. The state ment follows. "The operations against Waraw are highly successful. The airships are raiding at the wall of the city. Heavy losses have been suffered by the troops from Britain and the countries who were part of the first line of the Rus'ians. "The number of operations had to be repaired to cope with the result of the effective work of our short leader. "Zeppelin and bombs were bombarding the Waraw airships who bombed and are causing the great damage. "The council of Waraw was left the city and the inhabitants are departing as rapidly as possible" New German Move Fails, Says Czar. Defeat of the Germans in their flanking movement north of Waraw is announced in a report from the Russian general staff, published in the Army Gazette. It states that the Germans have retreated toward Thorn, their base in East Prussia. A heavy snow storm is raging along the battle front in East Prussia and Russian Poland. It is almost a blizzard, but fighting continues between the opposing forces. The fiercest conflict along the front is now going on in the forest of Neimglowsky, southeast of Rawa, where the Siberian troops are attacking the intrenched Germans with their bayonets. The battle in the forest has been raging for four days and the losses on both sides have been enormous, but it is reported that three lines of German trenches have been captured. Bak Von Becker la Suicide A dispatch to the London Evening News from Rotterdam says General Von Besseler, the conqueror of Antwerp, is dead. It is said, the paper adds, that he shot himself in his room at Bruges. British Guard Buzz Cana A Reuter dispatch from Amsterdam says that a Constantinople report to German sources says 14,000 British troops are holding both sides of the Bux canal. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. Two Americana, Captaured by Carranza Men, Were Executed Because They Aided Villa. An attempt has been made to assassinate General Francisco Villa by an agent said to have been committed and paid by General Pablo Gonzales, General Carranza's staunch supporter. This report was sent by Luis Aguilera Benevides, Villa's first secretary. The would-be assassin, Francisco I. Mugla, was executed after making a confession before George C. Carothers, the American consul agent. The telegram from Villa's secretary said that Mugla was apprehended at Guadalupe, where General Villa, with his troops, has been awaiting the out come of the peace conference. The official report stated that the prisoner just prior to his execution told the Villa officials that he had been paid a large sum of money by General Gonzales at Mexico City. In his possession was found interiminal evidence and a loaded pistol. "Mr. Consul, please advise your government and my family that I died a traitor," Muria was quoted as having said. Mugia was an Argentine subject. He assassinated a German consular official in Mexico City some years ago. General Pablo Gonzales has been regarded as Villa's strongest opponent in Villa's controversies with Carranza. Two Americans were executed by General Herrera following his capture of Parral, Chihuahua; Friday night according to Juan Racquer, of San Antonio, Texas, who is a refugee from Parral. Bacquer has admired from Robert Garcia, at Parral, saying, Edward P Baker, of Philadelphia, and a man named Freustein, of El Paso, were accused of adding the Villa garrison in the battle and were put to death. Freustein's name does not appear in the El Paso directory, and he is supposed to have been a soldier of fortune. The Villa garrison of 2000, barring the dead and wounded, is scattered. Herrera captured and executed forty nine prisoners. The battle was fought all of Friday night, and on Saturday the Villa forces, driven from their last defenses, broke and ran in all directions. Mexican priests are reported leading a third revolution in Central Mexico, striking at both the Carranza and Villa Constitucionalists. An appeal has been issued to soldiers and former soldiers of all armies to rally around the new cause, which aims primarily to protect what remains of church property. The new movement started in the town of Union De Tulac, Palisco state, when the Constitutional general threw waved a bishop's mitre from the roof of the cathedral and confiscated all the church property. Captain E. W. Tobin, of the Penn State's football eleven, and G. J. Sawriff, of Baton Height, N. J. president of the sophomore class, were terribly burned by the explosion of five barrels of gasoline at State College, Pa., that was poured over a huge pile of firewood to celebrate the return of the team from Harvard when it played the Crimson to a tie in Saturday's game. Both men, it is feared, will lose their eyesight. They are in the Bellefonte hospital. So great was the force of the explosion that houses in all parts of the village were shaken, windows of college buildings, and the fraternity houses were shattered and plaster fell from the walls in the home of Dr. E. E. Sparks, president of the college. Hundreds of spectators who circled about the bonfire, fifty feet away, were knocked down. Many suffered injuries from flying debris and in the stampede that followed. Tobin and Saurhoff were standing side by side, twenty-five feet from the pile. Under Saurhoff's direction Tobin lighted a torch and threw it into the woodpile. Nearby was a half barrel of gasoline. This exploded, and immediately there followed the ignition of fumes from more than four barrels poured liberally over the mass of timber. Thirty-five hundred persons, assembled on the drill ground near the army for the celebration, were frantic in their struggles to escape from the heat and flames that spread furiously over the ground and leaped high into the air. Girl Accused of Killing Babe. C. C. Hill, a young and pretty girl of Laurel, Del, was placed in the county jail by State Detective Thomas, charged within the murder of a three-day-old infant by strangulation, Harry Elliot, a married man, also of Laurel, was held under $10,000 bail as an accomplice. A GENERAL SURVEY OF THE WAR WEDNESDAY Attacks by German forces all along the Franco-Belgian frontier increased in violence, with the arrival of reinforcements which have been hurried to the front, according to an official statement from Paris. Heavy fighting is reported from Nieuport, through Dixmude to La Bassee, south of Lille. Thus far, the Paris statement asserts, the allies have held firmly at all points, and at some places have driven the Germans back. A dispatch from Petrograd says that the Russians have captured a large quantity of artillery near Lyck, in East Prussia, and that in the operations near Warsaw, in Russian Poland, they have taken fifty guns and many prisoners from the Germans. THURSDAY. Vigorous attacks at points extend ing along virtually the entire battle Line of 200 miles, from the extreme north wing in Belgium, to the south near Verdun, are being delivered by the German army in an attempt to force the allies' lines. Near the north coast, where the kaiser is trying to drive through, a three-cornered artillery fight is in progress. The French are firing from Nieuport and the Germans from Markkerke and Middlekerke, while the British fleet are shelling the German troops from the sea. Russian successes in various fields of operation are reported in official dispatches from Petrograd. It is as serted that the German army which was moving upon Warsaw has been defeated, some distance south of Warsaw, and is retreating. FRIDAY Heavy fighting, with the Germans for the greater part the aggressors, is reported from points covering virtually the entire 200-mile line of batte in Belgium and France. Little material change in the situation of the trapping armies has resulted thus far, and while the kaiser troops have gained slightly at some points, the allies have made progress at others. An overwhelming defeat for the German army that invaded Russian Poland, with Warsaw as its objective, is reported from Petrograd. The Russians are said to be advancing all along the Germile battle line. Successes near Przemysl, in Gallecia, also are reported. South of the Vistula, near the Pilsna river, the Germans are admitted to be holding their own. SATURDAY What is described in London as the most important battle of the war, involving the control of the north coast of France and Belgium, is now being fought with great fury by the German army and is allied foes on the French Belgium border. Paris, on the other hand, while admitting German progress at certain points, reports counterbalancing gains by the allies, and denies the enemy has won any material advantage. The great hostile forces seem locked in a death grapple in which both, in places, sway back and forth, but neither gives entirely away. Terring fighting is under way between the Russians and the Austro-German army along the river San, in a line extending from Sambor to Przemysl and Jarosław, in Galicia. Petrograd assists that the Russians are wining. SUNDAY Germany's great army of invasion assaulted the allies with undiminished vigor at Dixmunde, Belgium, and near Bethune, France, and repulsed an attack by a large French force near Lille. French troops operating against the forces of the German crown prince, in the river Meuse region, destroyed three new German batteries of heavy artillery. Along the river Osso the French and British defeated the Germans, who delivered a furious onslaught against the positions held by the allies. The kaiser's soldiers were compelled to retreat and to abandon their first line of trenches. Germany's ne warmy of invasion. Germany's new army of invasion has been driven forty miles west of Warsaw, according to an official announcement by the Russian general staff. The czar's troops have resumed a vigorous offensive movement all along the battle line. Desperate attacks by the Austrians to force the passage of the San River have been repulsed by the Russians. MONDAY. Encouraged by their success in driving a passage across the Yser canal between Dixmude and Nieuport, on the Belgian coast, the kaiser's forces are attacking with great vigor in an effort to push forward to Dunkirk, in France. Paris dispatches assert, however, that the allies have withstood not only these attacks, but also assaults farther south in the vicinity of Lille and Arras, in France. Battleships and aeroplanes continue to take part in the land battle, the English and French war vessels bombarding the coast. in the eastern battlefield, Petrograd reports that the Austro-German army which advanced on Warsaw has been driven back fifty miles, and is now rotting toward defenses erected along the river Warta, in western Poland, pursued by the Russian army. A little farther, south, an Austro-German army of 300,000 is deadlocked in a terrific battle with 500,000 Russians, north of Radom. Live Stock Price.

Read About Loubeque, the International Spy, and His Remarkable Plot For Revenge, a Plot That Was Thwarted by the Heroism, Resourcefulness and Courage of LUCILLE LOVE CARMAN JUNY FAILS TO AGREE Stood 10 to 2 For Acquittal and Are Discharged. SECOND TRIAL UNCERTAIN The Defendant Is Released on $25,000 Ball and Returns to Her Home In Freeport. Because two of its number insisted that Mrs. Florence C. Carman had murdered Mrs. Louise E. Bailey in Freeport last July, while ten others declared she was guiltless of that crime, the jury in the murder trial at Mineola, L. L. after having been out fourteen hours, was discharged by Justice Kelly. Five ballots were taken, the first being nine to three for acquittal. After that but two remained steadfast in their belief that Mrs. Carman was guilty. Mrs. Carman was carried back to the county jail completely crushed On M. day she was released on $125,000 bail and immediately returned to her home. It was a terrible ordal that Mrs Carman underwent. She plainly showed the suffering she had experienced when she came into court after the jury had sent word that it wished to consult with Justice Kelly. For hours she had been in a nervous collapse and was only kept up through drinking strong black coffee. That the failure to acquit Mrs. Carman was unpopular, was shown by the cool reception given to the two jurors who had voted for her conviction. They were William G. Hovey, of Woodmere, and Jamus H. Aston, of Port Washington. They hurried from the court room, and deputy sheriffs surrounded them to prevent any hostile demonstrations toward them. But the other ten jurors were given a rousing demonstration by the hundreds who congregated outside the court room. The crowd insisted upon making heroes of them, and when the forlman, Robert F. Ludium, of Oyster Bay, appeared, he made a speech and said that he and the other nine men had tried to do their duty. He was cheered, and the throng insisted upon escorting him to the railroad station, cheering him on the way. It was known when the jury entered—solemn faced and pale from a night of bitter wrangling, so loud that the discussion could be plainly heard outside the court house—that it had disagreed. Hundreds had fought their way into the court room, having remained in the village hotels, while as many more clamored for admission, only to be denied. Mrs. Carman broke down completely when she was told she would have to spend at least another day in the cell in the fall. She tried to regain --- her composure, but it was impossible and she fell over into the arms of her sister, Mrs. Powell. Dr. Carman was so beside himself with disappointment that he vacantly watched his wife being carried from the court room. He muttered over ad over again: "It is a shame. It is an outrage." 7,000,000 Belgians Face Starvation. Nearly 7,000,000 of Belgium's 7,000,000 people now face famine unless they at once receive help from the outside. The American minister to Belgium, Brand Whitlock, says that less than two weeks' supply of food remains in the cities, while conditions in the country districts are worse. Although Germany has soiled the food in some cities for her soldiers, she still disclaims responsibility for feeding the Belgians. Mr. Whittlock has had on hand for two weeks only peasants' black bread, and the supply of that is short. One hundred soup kitchens are feeding more than 100,000 of the needy in Brussels. Families, formerly rich are bankrupt. Noblemen, may be seen slipping into these soup kitchens. The supplies of coffee, tea, flour, rye and salt are practically exhausted. Reports received by Minister Whittlock from Louvain, Liege and Namur say that the conditions in those cities are even worse than in Brussels. Aviator Falls to Death.* James Hubbard, twenty eight years old, of Gloucester, N. J., an aeronaut was killed instantly at the fall grounds at Pinckleville, Va., on Friday, when his parachute failed to work. He dropped 3000 feet to one of the grand stands. He arrose from the grounds, waving his hands to the 5000 persons who stood watching him. At a height of 5000 feet he was seen to drop from the trapeze, and his parachute opened. He glided down 2000 feet, and swung his second parachute. This failed to open, and Hubbard shot toward the earth at terrific speed. Women fainted, and it was thought that Hubbard would fall directly in the crowd. His body, falling upon the roof of a grandstand, was driven half way through the roof. Hubbard was dead when picked up. Congresa Adlourna After nearly nineteen months of continuous session since the inauguration of Woodrow Wilson, the Sixty-third congress adjourned its second session on Saturday, after the collapse of prolonged efforts to procure cotton growers' relief legislation. Leaders in this movement agreed to adjourn, however, only on the condition that pending cotton relief measures would have right of way in the house when congress reconvenes on Dec. 7. Not more than fifty members of the house and less than a quorum of the senate were in attendance when the gavels fell on adjournment without day. The end was accomplished by the passage of a concurrent resolution ending the session. United States In War Game. To test the preparedness of regular troops stationed in Washington, Major General Leonard Wood ordered their mobilization at a point on the Potomac river just below Mount Vernon, Va. About 700 or 800 troops affected by this order are cavalry from Fort Myer and engineers from the Washington barracks. Proposed to Miss Wilson. A man giving his name as David A.

After dinner, during which he had seemed much preoccupied, Mr. Bowser had passed through the kitchen into the back yard and poured about two pails of water into an empty barrel. The cook looked at him suspiciously from the half open door, and Mrs. Bowser wondered what he was up to, but nothing was said until he had kicked off his shoes and settled down for the evening. He had been aching for ten minutes to be questioned when Mrs. Bowser observed: "Are you going to shut the water off from the street to make repairs to the pipes?" "Not that I know of," he replied. "Look here, now, but I want to tell you something, and I don't want you to about 'Fad.' over it and call me a fool. I think I've got hold of a big thing. In fact, I believe I am about to produce a boon for all mankind." "Going to turn water into elder vinegar?" "There you go with a sneer in your voice! By hen, but you do provoke me! Why can't you give me a word of encouragement in seeking to win fame and riches?" "Well, tell me all about it, and I'll give you my opinion." Mr. Bowser picked up the cat and pulled her tail in an absentminded way and finally said: "You know what snow is, of course. It's useful enough out in the country." A man and a woman play with a cat in a yard. THE CAT TIPTOED FORWARD AND SMALL- ED OF THE CRUST THE CAT TITTED FORWARD AND SMALL- ED OF THE CHURK. where they want to draw saw logs to mill, but it is a source of expense to the amount of millions of dollars in the cities. It costs New York city alone about $350,000 to get rid of her winter's know. The snow must be aboveed up and carted off, you see." "Yes, I see." "Well, suppose the snow could be melted on the streets and in the yards and the water run off into the rivers; suppose it could be done for about a hundredth part of the expense of removal—would there be worldwide fame and millions of dollars for the inventor of the process, or nothing?" "It would be a splendid idea," said Mrs. Bowser. "Now you are talking. Now you are offering the encouragement to your husband expected of a wife. Say, my dear woman, I wouldn't sell my secret for $5,000,000." "You can melt the snow on the streets, can you?" "I can melt it as fire melts greease. I can clean a whole city block with one barrel of fluid. I can melt snow for about a cent a ton. It's a discovery that will knock the world off its feet." "And how did you discover the process?" "Partly by means of an old manuscript left by a sailor who died in the hospital and partly by a man who was out of work and was willing to part with his information for $5. It's straight and sure, and within two hours I'll be melting ice to prove it." "I hope there's something in it." "Something in it! My dear woman, where I start with one barrel of water I'll end up with ten barrels of gold! Your words, of encouragement have done wonders for me. I must now go to the drug store after a few ingredients." He went, and he returned with three bottles and a gallon just the contents of which were poured into the barrel. Him. Bower still further encouraged him by coming downstairs to see him peer and stir and mix, and the cook was kind enough to remark that Mr. Bower looked like a man who would not knowingly blow up or set fire to his own house in order to kill off a poor, working girl at $15 per month. He was busy before the experiment was ready. The lend sailor's manuscript and the hard up man's advice were to the effect that the mixture need not stand over ten minutes, but Mr. Bowser wanted to make a sure thing of it. The stuff had a rank, acid smell, but he sniffed at it as heartily as if it had been cologne. A chunk of ice was brought from the refrigerator and laid on the ground, and with a great deal of solemnity he dipped a stick with a sponge tied to the end of it in the barrel and sapped it over the ice. There was no explosion or sudden outburst of flame. Even the cat tiptoed forward and smelled of the chunk. Of course ice won't melt as quickly as snow, and in his own salud Mr. Bowser gave that chunk three minutes to vanish off the cold earth. The liquid honeycombed it and threw out a tannard odor, but there was no melting. "What seems to be the matter?" Mrs. Bowser finally queried. "I—I may not have put enough on." replied Mr. Bowser as he renewed the sop with liberal hand. "There can't be any mistake in the mixing, and the thing is bound to work. Can't you keep that blamed out away?" The cat was chased away, and there was another painful period of waiting. The ice could be heard crackling, and it freckled up like a schoolman in summer, but there was no melting. "Perhaps the discovery only alluded to very soft snow," suggested Mrs. Bowser. "Soft snow be hanged!" he shouted. "I tell you this thing is all right. The stuff I put in cost $1.50, and it's bound to work." "Then my don't it work? And if it cost $1.50 for two painful, how are you going to remove snow for a coat a ton? I hope you have got a good thing, but it strikes me—" "Oh, yes; you are always being struck!" he interrupted. "And, this very minute you are hoping I will make a failure of this thing. But I won't, though. Perhaps it needs more stirring." He seized the stick and stirred and swirled and poked, and again the chunk of ice was doped. The smell was rinker, but that was the only result. "Perhaps the dying sailor left the wrong manuscript," said Mrs. Bowser quietly, by way of breaking the painful silence. "Why don't he take a teakettle of hot water to melt it?" queried the cook. "By the living jingo, but shell work or bust?" showed Mr. Bowser as a wave of anger surged over him. "Stand back there and gimme more room!" He seized the barrel with a strong grip and upended it over the chunk of ice and then gave it a kick that sent it flying across the yard. Mrs. Bowser and the cook had retreated to a safe distance, but the cat had advanced to satisfy her feline curiosity. As the barrel went rolling the cat screamed out and began jumping up and down, but in half a minute changed from jumping to a wild career about the yard. "You ought to be ashamed to kick a cat!" exclaimed Mrs. Bowser as the diverting went on. "What in thunder can all her? Gimma a club till I drive her over the fence." He was looking about for a weapon when he gave a sudden start. Then he uttered an exclamation and tried to lift both feet off the ground at once. Then he kicked off his shoes and seemed to start in pursuit of the cat, and he had circled the yard twice before Mrs. Bowser and the cook grabbed him. "Water—a pail of water—my feet!" he howled, and as soon as the water was drawn he plunged his feet into the pail. "Now, then, will you explain this circuit?" asked Mrs. Bowser as a look of relief came to his face. "The acid got to my feet," he replied. "There was a gallon of acid, you know. The cat must have stepped into a puddle of it." Mrs. Bower got out the bottle of sweet oil and some rags, and the blistered feet were made comfortable, and their sole owner and proprietor hobbled upstairs and stretched himself out on the lounge. Mrs. Bower hadn't called him a lunatic or an idiot, but he felt that he had lost prestige and must regain if. She was still cuddling him when he sat up and pointed a finger at her and hoarsely whispered: "Woman, I understand all!" "All about melting snow?" she innocently asked. "All about why my experiment was a failure. Don't seek to hide your guilt by looking at me in that bold face. While I was gone to the drug store you sneaked down and put salt or ashes or vinegar or something into that barrel." "How foolish of you!" "That will dol Denials are useless. You can go home to your mother by the 10:20 train tomorrow, and my lawyer will notify you of the legal steps I take. Woman, avount and leave your victim to die in peace!" And, having squared himself and accounted for the failure of his experiment, Mr. Bowser drew up his legs and fell into a peaceful slumber.

The United States government walked out its biggest guns for the United States Steel corporation in Philadelphia, in the final hearings of the dissolution suit instituted in 1911, lifted the lid from the almost incredible series of events which led to the organization of the so-called trust and hung a bright new tale on Andrew Carnegie. The government's case is based on the mass of evidence which, gathered in the last three years, is intended to prove that a war of unbelievable savagery existed between the different steel companies, and that the Morgan and Carnegie groups of financiers had amassed untold wealth by getting the companies together into one solid working and monopolistic unit. The federal government approached perilously near to fronto humor when in proving that price-fixing pools had existed between the different steel companies, it presented what will probably become one of Mr. Carnegie's most celebrated utterances. The steel man wrote from Skibo Castle to the Illinois Steel company in 1899, two years before the organization of the steel corporation, complaining loudly that his own company wasn't getting its share of business under the price agreement. "Should not this order have come to us?" demanded the faid. "If you can fill next year's orders at present prices, you have at least forty millions profit. It may be fifty. To want more than that," the letter concludes plougly, "seems wicked." The thirty distinguished lawyers in court for the suit, the three judges on the bench, and former Secretary of War J. M. Dickinson, who is prosecuting the suit as special assistant attorney general, couldn't repress their amies at the last line. The government chargos that the profits are unfair, and that millions of "blood money" are distributed among the different parties of the alleged trust to keep them out of certain fields of manufacture. It is also charged that the steel corporation controls 90 per cent of the steel and iron industry in the United States; that competition is impossible against it, and that it made 19 per cent profit on its infaited capital last year. It includes 180 separate and distinct corporations, and is the most colossal combine in the known world. The government alleges that $600,000,000 of its capital is water. There are also charges that the financial operations of the immense corporation were, at the outset, frenzied to a large degree and of a sort that boded ill for the public who had to meet the bills. Thus it was testified, on the authority of, the government, that for $25,000,000 in cash and their services in organizing the corporation, J. P. Morgan, Charles M. Schwab and his associates were given $126,998,768 of the capital stock. Americans With Canadian Troops. Beginning before dawn from stations within a radius of ten miles, Canadian troops have been pouring into camps prepared for them on the Salisbury Plains, near Salisbury, Eng. The notes of "It's a Long, Long Way to Tipperary," mingled with the Spanish-American War favorite "There'll Be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight," and American ragtime tunes, resounded in the quiet English dales. Along the roads the troops everywhere were received with enthusiasm. Riding at the head of the supply convoy was a small Montreal newsboy, who had stowed away on a transport. This little chap, in spite of the fact that he was almost lost in the folds of an army coat loaned him by a good hearted Highlander, was nearly frozen, but he insisted on practicing the bugle, proficiency in which he hopes will give him a chance to go to the front. There is a surprising number of naturalized Americans among these Canadian forces. A sergeant of a Montreal regiment, asked concerning his previous war experiences, replied in an American trawl. Incidentally he mentioned that he was a veteran of Admiral Deny's flagship in the battle of Manila bay. In many regiments social distinctions have been obliterated and men of fortune, with degrees from American and Canadian colleges, are serving as privates.
