JME XXXIL, NO. 2 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 5, 1914 PRICE, FIVE CENTS. Anniversaries of 1915. To The Editor: Every man, woman and child is doubtless aware of the fact that the year 1915 will mark the 50th Anniversary of the close of the Civil War; the final severing of General Lee's line of defense around Richmond and the surrender of the exhausted rebel hosts at Appleton. The object apology for this glorious victory on the part of the North, its weak-kned consent to the elimination from the Constitution of the three amendments written there with the blood of the men in blue will render the celebration of the event rather tame in the minds of the people mostly concerned and most keenly effected by the inopposition of these laws. Now nearly fifty years removed from the surrender of Lee, the Southern brigadier, relentated and flushed with victory is in Congress making bolder demands for the Nation to retreat and go back upon the principles for which our soldiers suffered and died than would have been dreamt of a decade ago. There are more Jimcrow and segregation laws before Congress today than ever before in the history of the Nation. This state of affairs is enough to make the boys in blue now sleeping in the Southland turn over in their graves. But the year 1915 marks the 50th Anniversary of another event far more worthy to be recalled and celebrated than the surrender of Lee: It was the invasion of the South by the Northern Missionary. The smoke of the final struggle had not lifted from Southern battlefields when, in response to the call of the American Missionary Association, hundreds of Northern men and women gathered that country and began the work of lifting out of the slough of ignorance and superstition the newly emancipated black. Historians and fictionists have been unstating in praise of those by whose wrath God wrought the freedom of the slave, but few words of praise have been uttered for those who wrought a greater victory than that achieved by the clash of arms. For "In the storm of years that are fading, No braver victory was won." than the vanquishing of ignorance and superstition. There was no period in the history of the South fuller of trials and hardships than that immediately following the close of the Civil War. The Southern people, hopeful of victory even up to the evacuation of Richmond, took perhaps no serious thought of the awfulness of defaçt. The Southern soldier was unprepared for the situation that confronted him when crushed and subdued he returned to his shattered home after the surrender. Ruined, disfranchised, an armed guard at every door, the former slave and the Northern in political control, the Southern white unhered in a regime of intimidations, persecutions and assassinations unsurpassed by the Inquestion. In some sections of the South these Northmen, Missionaries were more likely hated than the Northmen politicains "they were dubbed "panker intenders," "gigger lovers." "Now England witch burners," "Northern off casts, teaching Negroes as a last resort" Swill was thrown upon them from the windows of the unsympathetic as they went about their work. But undismayed and undaunted they pursued their course giving the full measure of devotion to the cause they espoused. To the many who were and are of opinion that these people were actuated mainly by pecuniary motives I would say that the average wages paid to the teachers who went South to labor during the reconstruction period was fifteen dollars per month, board and transportation. In order that they might be of assistance to the Society in the prosecution of its work some of these missionaries took the cheapest routes to their destination and not a few of them donated their money salaries to swell donations from sympathies Northern Friends to assist struggling ambitions puple to obtain higher education. Just a few years ago there died a young New Hampshire a retired Ministery who by her own self delicat and ingenuous with Northern friends had helped a visit number of Niger youths to obtain an education. At the time of her death she was with her pau and by the sale of old postage stamps paying the tuition of several girls and young men in Northern and Southern Colleges. ized in the useful lives of the thousands who have gone out from these institutions. To those who delight to refer to and dwell upon the threadbare story of carpeting plunderings it would say that there was more than one General Armstrong among the Union Invaders of Sophia ern soil. All were not plunderers and unacupruple politicians fattening upon the ignorance of the Negro. There were countless numbers of Union soldiers who laid aside their war against ignorance and superstition. They endeavored to teach the free man the proper use of the boon so dearly purchased. They were hated because they taught the Negro that he was a man and bado him stand upright. The year 1915 should be the Year of Jubilee among the Colored people throughout the Nation. Minister and laymen, Bishop and Priest, physicians, lawyers, teachers, college students, lawyers join in the celebration of this occasion. The story of this work of love should be told from every platform and rehearsed from every pulp, and unstipulated praise be given to those noble men and women who endured ignominy and shame; were rocked with the outcast and desplaced to make them a possibility. In Wilmington, N. C. the home of the writer, two buildings stand as living reminders of the trials, the auforings and the heroic achievements of these noble martyrs to the cause of human advancement. The grounds surrounding these buildings would not begin to hold the pupils of yesterday and to day who should gather there on a day during the approaching year to celebrate their dedication to the cause of God and humanity. They are gone—the most of them who labored there, some of whom signed their name with their blood on the walls of the back structure. Ashby, Piper, Blake, Noble, Warner, Fitts, Kildare, Blood, Roper, Davis, Hayes, Goodwin, Dodge, Gay, Nicholas, Farrington, Thrall, Woodard, Rollins, Thyde, Ather, Aims, and many others. Added to these the pioneer co-workers of color in the cause of race advancement: Comfort Wade, Maggie Capps, Mary Nixon, Sarah James Brown, Isabella Blowe, Fainie Sadgwar. D. 'O. K. K. Fine Banquet Thanksgiving Night. Mecca Temple of the Improved Ordinary Order of the Knights of Khorassan gave their annual entertainment and banquet Thanksgiving night at the Pythian Castle. A street parade was a feature. A large number of the dokies and their lady friends were present. The Hippodrome actors came after eleven o'clock and with their side-splitting stunts kept the large number of guests in rollicking good humor until supper time. Mr. Harry L. Thomas sang with charming melody many selections and his rendition of "It's A Long, Long Way to Tipperary" brought down the house. Then came Measur, Crosby and Noely, in their original selections. They are also known as Mr James Crobsy and Mr. Walter Noely. Then the guessing contest was a feature and when the gentlemen retired to the room above to see the wrestling match between two teams of the Cadets, the males were in their glory, so to speak in the sporting department, while the females continued to take chances at the games. Many excellent selections were rendered by the Blue Ribbon Quartette. The dancing continued until nearly 2 a.m. The banquet was a magnificent affair. The ladies served it with ease and 'dispatch. The table decorations were magnificent and all heartily enjoyed themselves. Thanks were extended the committee, for their excellent management by Royal Visier John Mitchell, Jr. Mr. Chitman M.

GRAND WORTHY MASTER FLOYD ROSS ARRESTED. Richmond Detectives Swear Out Warrants Charging Him with Felony. The Order of True Reformers Not Seriously Involved—Others Will Carry the Work on. ACCUSED OFFICIAL DISCLAIMS ANY INTENT TO DEFRAUD THE ORDER. Persistent rumors of trouble at the General Offices of the Grand Fountain, United Order of True Reformers caused us to investigate the matter. A visit there disclosed the fact that everything was proceeding as usual and that there had been no looting of the Endowment funds. The office force was busily engaged in discharging their duties. It seems that Grand Worthy Master Floyd Ross is in some trouble and that with the assent of the Insurance Commissioner, he has been forbidden to interfere with the work of the office. Application was subsequently made to Judge Richardson, who granted it in the sum of $1,000, with Mr. William Miller, proprietor of Miller's Hotel as surety. An effort is now being made to have the matter settled out of court. HEAD OF TRUE REFORMERS Warrants Charge Floyd Ross With Stealing From Old Folks' House. WASHINGTON—CHEATHAM. Mr. A. J. Washington and Mrs. Virginia Cheatham announce their marriage which took place Wednesday Nov. 25th, 1914 at the residence of Rev. M. H. Payne, 1900 Wallace St. At home Thursday, Dec. 17th, 1914 from 8 to 11 P.M. at their residence, 720 N. 5th St.—Friends are invited. No cards. It is stated that at the last meeting of the Grand Folks, a resolution was made that all of the donations, Old Folks' funds and other funds, not including the amount money should be sent to the Grand Worthy Master. The law also provides that the money shall be paid over to the Grand Worthy Secretary, Maurice Rousseau who shall in turn pay it over to the Grand Treasurer, Dr. William H. Smith. Money was sent to the Grand Worthy Master and this money was turned over to the Grand Worthy Secretary. Checks were drawn on the Old Folks' Home fund and not expended for the Old Folks' Home. When questioned, the Grand Worthy Master stated that as he had not kept a strict record of his expenditures, he would accept the figures of the official in question. . SPENT FOR THE ORDER. He had expended the money for field expenses, but would make it good. The amount as figured up was about one thousand dollars. This has produced something of a sensation and the Board of Directors has been called to meet to adjust the matter. In the meantime, Grand Worthy Master Floyd Rosa is not discharging the duties of his Office. He has not as yet resigned. The Board will meet next Monday in this city. The Vice Grand Master of the Order is not in good standing and as a result an Executive Committee will take charge of the affairs of the Order no doubt. - As assurances were given at the General Office that no embarrassment would ensue as a result of this condition of affairs and that with the adjustment of matters next Monday, all would be well. WARRANTS ISSUED. Events developed fast last Wednesday for Mr. Irwin East and Grand Worthy Secretary Maurice Rouseille, Dr. Wm. H. Smith, under the advice of the Bureau of Insurance consulted Commonwealth's Attorney Minitree Fowkes and laid the facts before him. It is alleged that he embossed $160.75 and $342.80 of the Old Foils Home Funds. He is also charged with having written checks on this fund and drawn the money. It is alleged that a check in payment of money was also endorsed by the Grand Worthy Master and the funds thereon gotten by him. COULD NOT GET BAIL Being arrested late Wednesday night, he was unable to procure ball and he spent the night in the Second Police Station. The charge being a felony, only Judge Richardson could bail him. The affair has caused detailed sensation here. Grand Worthy Master Ross admits that the money has been misplaced, but promises to make good all shortages. The case of Floyd Ross, charged with embundement was called in the Police Court last Thursday morning. Attorney M. H. Smith, Jr, who has been returned as accused was unable to be present and asked for a continuation. Justice Crawford said accordingly continued the case until Friday, December 16th. Ball was not allowed and the ap- plication was subsequently made to Judge Richardson, who granted it in the sum of $1,000, with Mr. William Miller, proprietor of Miller's Hotel as surety. An effort is now being made to have the master settled out of court. --- HEAD OF TRUE REFORMERS Warrants Charge Floyd Ross With Stealing From Old Folks' Mouse. (Richmond, Va., Times-Dispatch Dec. 3, 1914) Floyd Ross. 108 East Leigh Street grand worthy master of the Grand Fountain United Order of True Reformers, Inc., colored fraternal organization, arrested at his home by Detective-Bergeant Krengel and Policemen Thurman and Tomlinson on two warrants charging enebzlement. He was taken to the Second Precinct Station where he will be held until arraigned in Police Court to-day. Ross is charged by the police with embezzling a large sum of money from the Old Folks' Home, of the True Reformers, and was arraigned on two warrants specifically charging him with stealing $150.75 and $342.80. It was stated last night that the warrants were sworn out on the advice of Commonwealth's Attorney Minitree Folkes, and that it was probable that other charges would follow. Irwin East and Maurice Roussele, general secretary of the order, were named as witnesses. ARRESTED MAN PROMINENT IN FOUNTAIN AFFAIRS Rita has been connected with two True Reformers for a number of years. He is well-educated and is said to have once traveled around the world. According to the police, members of the order first suspected him in 1912, but were unable to secure concrete evidence against him. It is probable that the books of the order will be brought into court during the trial. This is the second case of embezzlement from the True Reformers with which the police have had to deal. Rouben T. Orill, secretary and head of the order, was arrested several years ago, was charged with stealing large sums from the treasury, but succeeded in escaping before the police could arrest him. He has never been captured although efforts have been made throughout this and other countries to apprehend him. Mr. Ryland In. Lewis Panace Away After an illness of two weeks, Mr. Ryland I. Lewis, husband of Mrs. Sarah Lewis and father of Mr. John H. Lewis passed away at his residence 815 Roane St., Thursday morning, December 2, 1914, at 5:15 o'clock. The funeral arrangements have not been completed as we go to press, the funeral to be from the First Baptist Church, Sunday Dec. 6th, 1914. In Memoriam. In sad but loving remembrance of our dear daughter, Katie Cunliskham Cross, who entered into rest Dec. 9, 1911. The rolling stream of time rolls on, But still the vacant chair recalls, The love, the voice, the smile Of the one who once sat there. The Sewers that we lay upon some grave. Will wither and deny, But the love that we born for you Will never fade away. Her Mother and Father. WASHINGTON—CHEATHAM Mr. A. J.

Skipwith, the angelist had a fine audience to hear him at the Fifth Street Baptist Church last Sunday morning and night and he never spoke better than he did on that occasion. He wore, for the first time, the fine, imported doe-skin suit that he had been awarded by the PLANET for the first prize in the ministerial contest. It was made by Mr. Chitman M. White and was a perfect fit. —Mr. Lewis E. Allen, Agent for the Gipson Boxart Corporation Philadelphia, Pa. was in the city this week. You are respectfully invited to attend the Memorial concert of Capital City Lodge, Mo. 11 L. B. P. O. B. of W. of the Hippodrome Theatre North Park, N. W. Sunday December 9th, at 3:10 P.

The National Ideal Benefit Society Holds A Great Thanksgiving Service at the Third Street Bethel A. M. E. Church. The Third Thanksgiving service of the National Ideal-Benefit Society was held at the Third St. Bethel A. M. E. Church Sunday November, 29. at 3:30 P. M. A large and entourable audience, consisting of the ideal members and friends was present. Mr. T. L. Beverly, Deputy of the Richmond District in his usual pleasing manner presided over the meeting. The attractive lady ushers, who were in charge of Mrs. Ida. E. Charity, rendered excellent service. Devotional Exercises were conducted by Rev. N. B. Brown, B. D., Mr. John S. Powell, President of the Y. M. C. A. and a member of the Board of Directors of the National Ideal Benefit Society, offered a fervent prayer for the success and future prosperity of the Society. The National Ideal Choir under the leadership of Mr. S. L. Johnson, rendered sweet music for the occasion. Mr. S. L. Johnson, one of Richmond's leading Bassos favored the audience with one of his choice solos; Thou, Who Art Faithful. The Ideal Society is fortunate enough to have among its numbers, a poet, in the person of Mr. F. L. Bryant who cheered the hearts of the audience with one of his compositions. SUPREME MASTER HOLMES SPEAKE3 Supreme Master A. W. Holmes, delivered a most timely address, in which he reviewed the work of the Organization from the origin two and a half years ago to the present. His address was inspiring and encouraging to the listeners in which he showed what rapid progress the National Ideal Society had made He also spoiled of the hearty co-operation and loyalty of the members. Supreme Master Holmes by his great work and success as a leader, has not only won the confidence and esteem of the members and friends of the City and State, but of the Brotherhood generally. Among the things Supreme Master Holmes stated that there had been 43 deaths, during the two and a half years and all dead claims had been paid and there was now a nice surprise to the credit of the Death Claim Fund. Concluding his remarks, Mr. Holmes beitlingly presented Rev. Nelson Brown, B.D. Pastor of the Rising Mt. Zion Baptist Church, to parch the Thanksgiving Service. The Sermon was excellent and very helpful to all present, many were the expressions of praise to Rev. Brown for his splendid discourse, Mrs. Ross Thompson of Philadelphia the Supreme National Lecturer and organizer of the Northern District was present and gladdened the hearts of the audience by her most timely address. Mrs. Thompson was at her best. She is a most forceful speaker. She discussed to the pleasure of all the three great principles, of which the National Ideal Society stands. TWO NEW LODGES HERE Mrs. Thompson organized a new Lodge in Fachmond District No. 27. All praise and honor to this great woman, who is accomplishing great things for the success of the Society. The Organization seems to be taking on new life and three Lodges and one Nursery were organized recently. Two in Philadelphia and one in Charles City County. In fact all of the Lodges are hustling, getting new applications weekly and making new members. The work is in splendid shape. Dr. S. S. Morris, the honored Pastor of the Church was present and seemed pleased with all he heard; he stated he was delighted to know the great success attending the National Ideal Benefit Society. He congratulated Supreme Master A. W. Holmes for his leadership to success. The Nursery Department was well represented by Little Isetta Bowles, who entertained the Audience with an interesting recitation: The duet by Mr. and Mrs. Washington was beautifully rendered, Dr. W. T. Johnson made appropriate and encouraging remarks. Dr. Johnson is loyal member and leader of National Workers Lodge, No. 19. Mrs. R. Elsnae Wesley and Mr. J. R. Hicks asked for the offering. The audience gave liberally. Lawyer J. H, Crutchfield in a most appropriate speech, presented the nice offering to the Church. The same was accepted very touchingly by Trustee Paul C. Easley. Just before the conclusion of the service Mrs. W. T. Johnson came forward with her usual grace and manner and captivated the audience with a short speech filled with wit and humor and presented to Rev. M. B. Brown, a token of appreciation and for his splendid sermon, representing the Ideals of Richmond District. Thus ended a very helpful Thanksgiving Service. A Christian Editor of A Secular Newspaper. Foremost among journals of the Colored race in America is the "Planet" of Richmond. Va.; published weekly by Mr. John Mitchell, Inc. This fine specimen of American manhood is a far truer sense than may appear on the surface, a christian. The sense in which he exemplifies his Christianity is, in his editing of the "Planet", any properly prepared matter, suitable for publication, presented in time may appear in its column; whether the subject treated or the sentiment expressed is wholly approved by Mr. Mitchell or not. The Christianity of this editor is still further reflected in his fearless and straightforward editorials: in persistent advocacy of what he perceives to be right for black and white alike. Always in clear, and sometimes in scattering denunciation of what is palpably wrong in his own pride, as well as in our white fellow citizens. But in addition to this Editor Mitchell is member in good standing of the great Fifth Street Baptist Church, formerly pastorized by Dr. Wm. F. Graham of Holy Triary Baptist Church, Philadelphia, Pa. He is so much esteemed by the membership of his church, a christian gentleman, that upon the retirement of Dr. S. C. Manuel, as pastor, he was elected Moderator of the Church; to serve until such time as a Pastor shall be called. Taking this responsible position, he found a number of waring forces, contending elements, and widely different opinions; but with a master-hand, clear head and surpassing generality, he has united all these forces, harmonized all these elements and settled the differences. So that on Nov. 23rd, a committee of fifteen was appointed to find a suitable Christian minister to take, the pastorate of this great church. When he is found, and it may be that the Rev. doctor Burko of the High Street Baptist Church, Ronoke, will be the man, our Christian Editor will cheerfully yield up his moderatorship and go on using the columns of his great paper to show that unity in business, in politics and in prayer for Diving guidance, is the most crying need of the Colored race in America today. And whether it be sometime hence, or in the near future that a successor to Dr. Manuel is called, this Editor of a secular newspaper will doubtless continue to prove himself a christian by carrying out the teaching of his Master: "Do unto others as you would that they should do unto you;" attested in the courteous and kindly treatment of those with whom he comes in contact, as manifested to the writer when he called at the office of the "Planet" a few days ago, with the dear friends of his boyhood days, the Rev. Lawrence Campbell, Garland, of Monongahela, to press the Editor of time he o receive us kindly to welcome our you as a visitor to this section, hand him an album of the magnificent banking, house; of which in addition to his other achievements, he, our Christian Editor is the eminently efficient, president. Those are only a part of his ways, time and space fall us in which to speak of John Mitchell, Jr., as Grand Chancellor Commander of the Pythian hosts of Virginia, as one of the best equipped military men of the race in this country, and as the most efficient and impressive installing officer that ever, uttered a word under the authority of . a Supreme Chancellor, in all the world. Long live and may the Lord bless this christian editor, secular minister, John Mitchell, Jr., to continue doing good for the Colored race in particular and mankind in general. Ruv. Walter H. Brooks, D. D. delivered able sermons to large audiences Thanksgiving Day. Those who heard him declare them to be the best they had ever heard him deliver. Ebenezer Bapt.

Any one with good common sense can master Hypnotism and improve their mind. Will send our complete course in three parts on receipt of $3.00. Best method. SYNOPSIS Leucille falls into the hands of a trifle of age men, whose leader draps a mockness of prizeful rubbish, which she takes. She and Leucelle are reected from the court, a most commanded by Captain Wetherall. The girl and Leucelle are not adrift in open heat by Wetherall after she reguire the captain's advancen, and he takes the papers. Served by fishermen, Leucille and Leucelle, are in China. As she passes a house Leucelle's diary is thrown to her mysteriously. She tries to be heard a vowel bound for America. Leucelle recovers the papers from Wetherall. Leucille stows away, is caught and accused of a cabin boy with the aid of the captain. Leucelle is sent to search Leucelle's stateroom for the papers. He catches her at work. Leucelle takes the papers from Leucille. Leading at San Francisco she is kidnapped by the spy and held a prisoner in Leucelle's house by Thompson. She throws a message from her window to the captain of the boat, who passes the house, and a fight follows, which Leucelle is hurt and she takes and blies the papers. Thompson tries to deal the ruble. At Loubeque's ranch in Mexico, to which Loubeque takes Lacilla, the girl is befriended by a mysterious Mexican, who tries to escape after she strikes down Thompson. Lacilla flees across the border and meets Lieutenant Carmody, an army friend. He puts her on a train for San Antonio, where the train is Thompson, watching her. Thompson steals the necklace from Lacilla, and Loubeque takes the papers from her after she enters his house to recover them. Loubeque uses Thompson of being a traitor to him. CHAPTER XIX. UUCILLE started just as her hands encountered the packet of begrimed papers and documenta. A faint humming sound mingled with the heavy treed of the firemen above stairs. But she had won, was victorious after many defeats. Still, that sound— She seemed to have heard it before. With a little cry of horror she looked up, her hands clasping the packet to her breast. The room that had been her boudour was slowly closing down upon her, was moving down, down, down, its dark floor threatening to crush her like a letterpress closes upon its contents. Then it stopped. She looked toward the door through which she had entered, her delight at THE FIRST EDITION OF THE NEW YORK REVOLUTIONARY EDITION The Gear Leakage in the Desertry. the escape dying before the sight of Loudoue's talk, murmuring figure in the doorway, the glowing cigar he picking out his every feature, the hairful smile upon his face. He extended his hand, bowing gracefully, undoubtedly, "The secret of papua, Mika Loudou, if you please," he murmured. For the Sinking sound Loudou wished what would happen did she reply to memorize the phrase to Loudoue—reconfirmed what disturbed thing made him his brain when he found THE MUSEUM OF ART AND SCIENCE himself defied. A glance at the room which had started to descend upon her drove the thought away as quickly as it brought a shoulder through her slender frame. Slowly, reluctantly, she held out the pocket to him, watching him fortuitely, as with the utmost courtesy he bowed and placed it in his breast pocket. Slowly he conducted her up the stair. In his private room he motioned her to a chair, seating himself at the desk. "I am not going to threaten you again," he said quietly. "I wish you to know that this is the last time you can interfere with my plans. Child, can you not be made to see what folly it is—this fight against me!" "Mr. Loubeque," she said softly, "have you never grieved that it is impossible for the finer feelings you are continually suppressing to be returned because your ambitions are cruel and base? I do not like to wage this constant war with you. I do not like to battle with the man who has been so kind to me in his own way that I could love him as another father. But you would ruin my father; you would wreck my sweetheart's life. You would keep me apart from perfect happiness after I have merely pecked through the door of that happiness only to have it slammed 'shut in my face. Can't you see that it is you who must go down to defend? Can't you see that love such as supports a frail girl to battle with you as I have done will not be downed by the most powerful man? Can't you see that I cannot stop even if I, do sometimes grow very tired and sick at heart and pray to this soul of mine to let me lie down for a little while and rest? Rest—reest—She broke off with a sob of the most acute distress. "There is no such word as rest for me. Always it is go on, on, constantly go on, until it seems I must fall along the wayside. But I do not fall. I have won from you constantly; I have always won, and I shall always continue to win. And you know it. Mr. Loubeque, for I can see it on your face—now." Like one inspired she was, as the belting tones of her plea changed to those of passionate conviction, a certainty that expressed itself in words tumbling from the tongue with utter abandon, words that seemed to come from other lips than her own. And as Loubeque looked back at the beautiful figure of the girl he was surprised to see that suddenly she seemed to have changed, that the slip of a child who had come on board the Empress from the hydrocarbon had suddenly become a woman of such capacity for love and hate as even he himself did not have. Come back to him the girl he had and whom he still loved as fondly as in the old days of Flirtation walk at the Point, from which he had been expelled. Swiftly, she came to his side, placing her hand upon his shoulder, her voice low and tender again like the sighing of an April breeze through the greeting baby leaves. "You think you are working for hate, and all the time you are working for the same reason that I am—you are working because of love. Can you not see what a perversion of love is this thing you constantly seek to do? Can you not—" Lucille could feel the man's shoulders trembling, could mark the tremendous, effort he made at self control. She was almost ready to plead with him for a return of the papers, to give up his entire life work and count it failure, confident that he was well along the road to doing so, when a rap sounded on the door. For some reason which she could not define a shudder run through her at the sound. She seemed to recognize a shatter presence close by. She glanced at Loubeque, and her heart sank as she saw the wave of emotion she had bred within him had passed, that he was again the ice, indefatigable international spy. "Come in," he called briskly. Slowly, cautiously, yet with not the slightest uncertainty, the door pushed open. Before the visitor appeared on the threshold Locille knew who it would be. For a moment she was taken aback by Thompson's perfect aplomb. She knew he had been the one who robbed her of her necklace, that he had sprayed her with ether and taken it from about her throat while she slept. And yet not so much as by the quiver of an eyelash did he show any sign of surprise or fear. "I was delayed, sir," the butter began apologetically, when Lesbague blinded his hand impatiently. "Ten you delayed," coldly repeated the age, separating every syllable and mixing it out as though it were a death judgment. "It is perhaps better that you were delayed, Thompson. I have just received a letter from a man with whom you are acquainted. In this letter, Thompson, he informs me he intends turning traitor to my interest, that he intends assisting Mike Love to make her escape." "Just so, air," murmured the butterfly. "I am informed by him that he acted upon you while you went through the door of Mike Love's window." Thompson did not stir, but Lecilia the scar on her a skelly white. "The man lied, sir." "Men do not lie at such moments." For just a moment Thompson was silent. The hush upon the room was so profound as to make the tickling of Loubeque's watch strike upon the ears like mallet strokes. Slowly the butler's index finger moved to the scar upon his check. "The man you speak of evidently did the work in the hope of receiving Miss Love. I gained this scar while trying to prevent the flight, sir." "It's a lie." Lucill's burst forth passionately. "That man tried to rob me here in this very house. That was why I insisted upon a mald to serve me when I took the drug you put in the drink." "Why did you not mention it at that time?" The spy's woes were dubious. "Because I did not wish you to know I had anything of such value about me." "Value? You had no money when you left Manila." "No, but I obtained possession of a wonderful ruby necklace in the cavern of the jungle just before I was rescued by the filibuster. Three nights ago when I boarded the train for here that man dragged, me while I slept and stole the necklace from about my throat. Then he dropped out of the window of his compartment. That is why he was detained." Loubose fastened his cold eyes upon the butler. The man had nerves as steady as a rock. Lucille studied the judge and culprit earnestly. She could see that Thompson was beating down the apyra belief in her story. Swift as a flash, without a second's thought, she darted toward the thief. She had noticed his fingers involuntarily seek the right hand breast pocket of his coat A His Fingers Gripped Thempeors' Threat. when she made her charge. In one swift movement she had ripped open the coat. With the other hand she plunged toward the place she knew the person be. Ask Thompson was taken off his guard. Then he sprang back with a hoarse cry of rage and alarm, forgetful of everything. The girl clung to her hold like a tigress. He grasped her wrist roughly and thrust her, reeling, across the room, his eyes glaring as, with clinched fists, he stared at her, while, dazed though she was by the violence of him, she held triumphantly in her hand the gorgeously dazzling ruby necklace. Hugo Loubeque did not utter a sound; did not change expressions for one instant. Slowly, with all the leisurely grace of some giant animal, he rose and stepped toward his minion. The cold expression in his eyes had turned to one of grim frosty, such an expression as made Locille shudder, as she saw his fingers reach out and grip Thompson about the throat, pressing, pressing— Not hurriedly, but with cold, definite, murderous purpose, the spy slowly forced the struggling figure into limpness, then cast him from his without apparently making the slightest effort, rubbing his palms slowly together as through the touch had defied them. Locille was chilled with horror as she watched the spy repeat himself, his face calm and emotionless. Apparently he had quite forgotten the huddled, silent figure upon the floor, whose blackened face was slowly regaining its color. Thompson was greening when Locille impatiently pressed a button and waited for an answer. It came over before he expected. A head chasing of both through the house penetrated the effusion of chasing that plumed through the twin sound of the doorbell. Bigg Louiseque spring to his feet, waving. The mask of his face dripped and showing that his face, angled, a bit perked. The chasing sound was indistinguishable by the routine of foot. But he did not. of supposed, then goodness, to mind the begin. Then the man she was then anything else. Then she was supposed from the ball. But then she was then all no head. She was supposed greatly to and for the baby boy himself against the mistress that was ignoring her knows to refuse support, her eyes wide with delighted compassion and love and disbelief, and then she opened her lips, trying to say out, about the name of the man she loved, the man she had worked on hand for, the man who stood in the street below, staring up at the very window at which she stood. But all that hung from her lips was the faintest sound, tremulous; pitiful: the whisper of his name. Before she could regain control of herself, even realise that she really was seeing her sweetheart here in flesh and blood, the hand of Loubise was about her waist, drawing her gently, but firmly, away from the window. But even as the clement shout out her view of him she caught the lightning: flash of recognition as her appeal drew Gibson's own eyes to that window, and she knew he had seen her. Loubeque restrained her brunly. The clanging of the bells throughout the house ceased instantly just as a load hammering on the door below rose. Came a flying rush of men within the room, filling it completely. Loubeque swiftly glanced about at the anxious faces, then nodded. "The tunnel" he cried alarmly. Suddenly Lacille became aware that the room was shooting downward like a giant elevator. She ignored about her, sick with apprehension, upon the faces so close to her own in the narrow confines. A breath of rank cool air fanned her cheek from out the darkness. Loubeque's hand was upon her wrist, his voice softly advising her to follow him. Far in the distance a little speck of light reached out toward them. For what seemed an endless distance she was led by the ap, with always that rush of feet behind. The light was growing broader, brighter. Loubeque released his hold upon her. She could see him reach and press harshly against something, a door evidently, for the light slowly lengthened and broadened. Daylight and a foreign street! A bitter sob broke from her lips as she looked at Loubeque and realized how infinitely far away she was from the man she loved. Days upon the desert-blastering days with merciless sunlight pouring from the molten kettle overhead, burning savagely at the imperious sand and cacti that alone had resisted the fire so many ages. Nights of cold, unwinking stars—stars pitiless in their steady undwiving acruity as the glower of sun; nights where the desert brews searched out the marrow of the bones; nights surrounded by the minions of Loubeque, by Loubeque himself; nights of Loubeque, for herself; nights filled with the sounds of the slumbers of her captors. Save Hugo Loubeque. Loubeque never slept. Lucille saw he had steeled himself against her vow, that never again would she be able to penetrate his pitilessness in the pursuit of his previous revenge. Close at hand was the hour for him to strike, ready at hand were the means. What was his object in seeking Mexico and the Constitutionalist leader she had no means of knowing? That there was a great object, one which she must defeat at any and all costs, she knew. It was the eighth day he ran into a foraging party sent out by Villa in advance of his main army. Much as she knew of the mysterious spy, Lucille was still surprised to mark the respect and deference paid him by the dark skinned rebels. Consequently several days later, days of tireless travel, she was not surprised on reaching the main body of the army to find herself being treated with the greatest respect, while Loubeque was in constant consultation with the rebel leader. Day after day she felt the growing helplessness of her position. Loubeque seemed omnipotent in the opinion of these men upon whom he appeared to have stumbled. Still she would not permit hope to die. The justice of her cause, the growing humanity of the international spy, her very youth and the power of her love forbade this. Through the very eagerness and desperation of this feeling she slowly became aware of the attitude toward his master of Thompson. She was aware of the subtle atmosphere of heat which the slick soundrel's mask of servitude concealed so well. In need of anything to do on her own account she took to watching the man, following his every move, his every change of expression. Family toward the master he had served so well and who had instigated him mingled with hatred for the girl he had no bitterly wronged and who had brought his punishment about. Consequently Locile was surprised to come across a briefly scribbled note on a bit of rice paper such as she had often noticed the butter used in ruining cigarettes. It was plumed slightly against one of the partially cut pieces of bread when Thompson served his master and Locile with their dinner. She detached the fragment of bread, dropping it to the floor and seizing the fragment of paper as she plumed it, concealing it in the palm of her hand. For what seemed continue behemoth bravely attempted to eat the food before her, tried to capture the hostage, breaking period during which Kateyne smoked steadily at his eyes. It was with a nigh of relief to devour the spy was obliged to smile that she should half hearted protest at his relentless. He noxious had his figure smug to derain the doorway that she should equally to examine the message. "All the kind best of the old boyfriend." Surely that, but the deplore that animal present with woodsmen smiling. "Please evil upon another's face so that they should under the tutelage of her warring. Vane beheaded." Beneath the couch we continue appalled by her despite the face of hope that had been limited, within the dwindling spell. Where had been such depth about. Those wounds remain under the sorrowing of the man she knew he had so venomously, which made her shudder and form a half separation to acquaint Louiseh with the servant's treachery. She had half turn to her feet, still fighting against the leucocytic impulse when the small host of an ow reached from out the mighty distances of the farreaching desert waren. And now the very seconds hagged. Every nerve, every muscle, fared, for she knew not what. Lecilia waited, her ear against the wall, her eyes pools of mirrored terror. After what seemed an interminable age came again the sound. Unable this time to endure the long information she was charged to undergo, she metly opened the door, pacing out over the sleeping city that the sales chieftait had fungu up at a more command. Immediately before her own abode she made out the less pretentious shack of the international spy. A dim light from the partially opened door cut a segment from the darkness. Far more significant of slumber than complete darkness was that light. A tiny droning sound reached her ears. By main force piercing the thick veil of night Lucille made out the shadowy outlines of a lean motorcar dimly silhouetted against a pile of lava dust. Something shapeless and dark and furious of movement crept across the spice that interrupted between it and the light cleavage of Loupele's quarters. Lucille could not resist the impulse that forced her from the door into the open. Something tugged at her feet, fairly drawing her away from the scene. Then a strange wave of pity for the unsuspecting one against whom this furtive attack was being made urged her forward. As the dark figure slipped through the door Lucille thrust her head cautiously within. Upon the cot lay the long figure of the international spy, his face turned toward the silent, motionless figure that stood in the center of the room staring at him. The eyes were tightly closed, but the girl knew that the man merely finshed slumber. Thompson turned toward the table upon which the lamp dimly burned. Lactile allowed her eyes to wander for ```markdown ``` Luolie Keeping With the Papera a second in that direction, her heart thudding so violently at sight of the diary and papers there that she was fearful she would be heard. Alongside the papers, its facets sending out a million dashes of redstuff blood, lay the strand of rubles. She marked the involuntary flexing of the thief's hands as he tipted toward them. Not a sound disturbed the silence, but something caused her to dart a swift glance at the sleeper. His eyes were narrowed, but open; lights of amused malice in them she had never suspected could show in mortal eyes. Lights so malignant she shuddered even as she would have opened her lips to cry a warning. The butter-thief drew closer to the prize he had worked so hard to gain. His thief's fingers were outstretched to grasp the necklace, when, with a crash, the lamp darted toward him, smashing upon the floor and leaving utter blackness in its wake. Upon the beels of his startled alarm came a chuckling laugh from Loubeque, a laugh that matched the evil that had glowed from his eyes so scant before. Came a gurgled oath, the heavy breathing of strong men in combat. Lucille turned as though to run. There came a swift vision before her, one that made her step swiftly within the wall of mantled darkness. Eyes met her own eyes, eyes that seemed to force their way through the dark interior and cause her to forget everything that had intervened, eyes that mirrored a message of love and faith and hope to her as she looted down from the window of the mysterious house in San Francisco into the eyes of her lover, the man whose happiness could not be insured without these papers so short a space before her. With the thought she sprang into the room, she bounced high, diving the bedside of the two men and landing separately against the table. Gripping, gripping, her hands encountered the cold rain. She thrust them swiftly into her bedside, but left hand continuing the punch. Fourth rushed under her thigh. An iron hand was open her shoulder, but she wrestled herself home and impaled back. Along the wall she moved all her body encountered the overlying rain. Given to Leontine springs of her she slipped the door wink. She jumped a ray of guts and reg, the strength of fast footwork. Leontine dug through the night, and breathed while she held the meter on her wrist. Then she held on for the rest of the night. It was a struggle, but she was the winner. given. What commands had he been given? She stopped a second. She had been warned to walk for three hours of the owl, and let two had been given, impulse directing her, the blind her hands to her mouth. First no sound came. A wound then she spoke the attempt. Pebble it was an awk, but the started silence took it up and hurried back the offender past sympathies. To her right came the part of the motor. From behind around a shot. She lunged toward the first sound and entered the tentacles. A dark figure leashed from the seat and drew her beside him. Lucille clung to the man, sobbing from nervous reaction even as the car shot through the night. The whine of a bullet sounded overhead, another and yet again another. She dared not look back. The papers warmed through the flesh against which they pressed, warmed through her body and to her very heart itself. But Hugo Loubeque knew the method of her departure, knew what she carried with her. And already she knew Hugo Loubeque was working to overtake her. Low in the seat beakle the driver crouched Lucille with the precious papers and rubles in the waiting auto-mobile the butler had arranged for himself. Buddely she leased forward, beating her little fists together, urging the Mexican chauffeur to accelerate his speed. The man smiled down at her, shaking his head to signify he did not understand the words, even as he stepped on the clutch and shot the car forward like a huge arrow newly released from the bow, and behind somewhere upon the same road there was another machine with a determined man, in it, a man who had never yet allowed machine or man or even the elements to thwart him. Then came the dull crunching sound from before her. The car swerved viciously, swung in such an abrupt circle she clung to the side of her seat to avoid being hurt out. The driver righted his machine swiftly, dazed easily, and she started to heave a huge sigh of relief. But only started to, for the front wheels, suddenly slipped, seemed smoothly to be gliding upon a surface of nothingness, clawing for a foothold. The chauffeur reversed heavily, fought with his wheel, but vainly. Then the heavy car lost balance, tilted heavily and rolled down, down down. Lucille felt no fear. It was all too deadly for that. She was only conscious, even as her hand hands clutched "the edge of her arm, of a droning sound from behind that was growing into the rytmic hum of a motorcar. Canada a long period of desolation made much much through she floated upon ether; a harsh, crunching jolt and blackness—merciful uncoordination that closed black shutters across the mental vision of her and brought a sweet smile to the lips that had been tightened so long. Sleep— Locille pieced together happenings vaguely after that; then dismissed them as of no account. Nothing appeared to matter. She was comfortable and partially content. She recollected for a fractional space of time being lifted and carried away by strong, friendly, plying arms. The memory passed immediately with the coming of an impression of swift travel in a motorcar, which, in turn, gave way to the more sharply etched impression of being wheeled aboard a train in an invalid's chair. Then came a vision of the lean, powerful face of Loubeque close to her own, the gentle whisper of his voice close to her car, calling her name over and over again, while, matching the suffering in his bones, were the deeply carved lines of agony upon his face. Over and over again the man called to her, and yet she knew it was not to her he resembled, but to the mother whom she resembled. She felt all her sympathy going out to this man who had proved such a bitter enemy, who had brought such catastrophe upon her and hers and who would again prove so relentless should she attempt to take advantage of his temporary weakness to appeal to the better side of him. Undoubtedly Loubeque was again in possession of the papers. Suddenly she felt that he, had conquered his emotions and moved away. She slowly opened her eyes and looked about. She was in her own private compartment on the train. She was alone. Tremulously, fearful yet almost positive her hands would not encounter that which she sought, she touched her bosom. The feel of the necklace and papers measured her, drove away the last mists of unreality. Where she was going she did not know nor care. With the precious papers she could do anything. Simultaneously with the thought came one of terror. Vagus at first. It spread over her spirit like a veil that obstructed all light, all hope. As though forcing herself against her will, she closed her eyes and drew forth the bundle and necklace. Yes, there could be no doubt the gentleness of the rubens. Their schaltluster luster was fiery blinding. But she paid them little heed. Her fingers grazed at the papers even as her eyes snapped open. Then a little cry of rage and chagrin came from her lips. The pocket open the table had obviously been nothing but a blink. Her eyes were still on the table, the white pages even white enough, the head stakes a shard of woodiness upon paper. The international gag hold the wrist band. Safely she slipped down the wall behind a lad, she had rescued out the answer. Thompson had escaped Loubeau and, folded in his attempt to gain the neckline, was still in the pursuit. Safely she stepped down the aisle, through car after car, until she halted already and moved back again, for, doing against a pillow in the basement car, a long gash over his eye rendering him a bit villainous, looked, was the better-thief. Lacille sought her compartment, her brain awhirl. It was a three cornered light now.-Loubeau to retail the papers and to protect her in her wealth; Thompson to gain the ruby neckline and revenge himself upon his master, but she-Lacille only sought the papers. Nothing else counted as against that. And Loubeau held the papers. [TO BE CONTINUED] U. S. TROOPS OUIT VERA CRUZ Stars and Stripes Are Hauled Down in Mexican City. LITTLE ENTHUSIASM SHOWN As American Soldiers Withdrew the Constitutionallate Took Possession of the City. Vera Cruz, Mox. Nov. 24. — The American forces of occupation evacuated Vera Cruz, after having been in possession of the city for a period of seven months. The withdrawal of the Americans, under General Frederick Funston, progressed without disorder. As the Americans withdrew Mexican Constitutionalists took possession of the city. There was little enthusiasm, the excitement and no trouble of any kind. The streets of the city were filled with a mob of boys and men carrying Mexican flags. The cheering was limited. Fast on the heels of the retiring Americans Constitutionalist troops marched to the center of the city, the marching music of their bugles filling the air. The bells of one church rang out. The abandonment of the American positions began at 9 o'clock in the morning, when the detached post of marines at El Tejar, where they have been guarding the water works since last April, boarded a train for the run of one hour into the city. The Mexican lines at that time had made no attempt to advance. This was for the reason that between El Tejar and Vera Cruz there is a railway junction, and General Punaton had asked the Constitutionalist commander not to move forward any of his trains, for the reason that to do so would block the line. The Mexicans waited until all the Americans from El Tejar had passed. The circling line of American outposts, from Vergara, on the north beach, to a point on the south beach, began moving forward as soon as the detachment from El Tejar arrived at Los Coros, a ruburb. Thus the line became shortened, and there then began a sweeping movement directly across the city until the line of Americans came to a stop along the Francisco canal and Cino de Mijo street, running at right angles to the canal. Only two blocks behind was the one of the American cities, closing in 'as the Americans withdraw, but always holding a distance of about two blocks. The American stop at the Francisco canal was brief. They quickly resumed their march, converging on the central part of the city. As they came in they picked up the provost guards who had been patrolling the city as usual, and also the men who had been posted on tall buildings to watch for "untippers." These men joined the ranks, and together the force moved forward toward the water front where the embarkation began. There were no flags to lower, nor were there any ceremony of any kind on shore. The American flags that came down at retreat Sunday night were not raised. As each transport received her allotment of men she shipped her cabets and dropped out into the channel. Here they formed in two lines, through which later in the day the Cristobal, with General Fuson and his headquarters staff on board, passed in view of the American forces. Only Horsepower Neutrality.

Promoters of Great State Function Advance Many Good Reasons Why It Should Interest Our People Throughout the Country—Congress Appropriates $65,000 Toward Expenses. Richmond, Va.—While it is both essential and proper that the former slaves and their descendants should fittingly celebrate the semicentennial or fifthth year of their freedom in every state of the United States, the exposition to be held near Richmond, Va., in July and August, 1915, should take pre-eminence over all similar celebrations, since it was at Jamestown, Va., that the first slaves were landed soon after they reached this country in 1619. The colored people served for 246 years in actual slavery in Virginia, the mother of presidents and statesmen. In Virginia, that gave to the country Washington, Jefferson, Patrick Henry, James Monroe, John Randolph, "Stonewall" Jackson, Robert E. Lee, John Wise, William Mahone, John Mercer Langaton and many other national characters, white and colored, and where the great civil war ended on April 9, 1865, which was followed by the freedom of the race, the celebration should be a magnificent display of what they have achieved in the past fifty years of freedom. Not only our race in Virginia, but those in every state, should take part in this great event and make it one that our whole country and the civilized world will admire. While the celebration in a sense is local, it should be carried out for the reasons named on such a high scale as to make it national in character and thus not the pace for a great national centennial celebration at the proper time. This generation will then have passed away, but it will have laid a foundation on which future generations can build in forming the history of a race that the Bible tells us "shall yet stretch forth its hands unto God and become a mighty nation." The colored people in some of the states have already held similar celebrations, and others will celebrate in 1915. In some states annual fairs have been held regularly and a larger number of county fairs, at which the industrial and material advancement of the race has been exhibited. All of these have been gradually paying the way for larger celebrations. Not more than two years ago a large number of leading colored men sought to bring about a national acmi-centennial of the freedom of the race in 1913 and asked congress for an appropriation of $200,000 during the Taft administration, but after long deliberation congress showed that it deemed it inexpedient that the race should undertake to celebrate upon such a large scale after only fifty years of freedom and that the exhibits that could be made within that time under the circumstances would not justify so great an outlay of money by the general government, and the bill making the appropriation did not pass. Able men in congress thought that more time and more advancement were necessary before the holding of a national celebration should be undertaken by the newly enunciated race. It took the white race from the foundation of the government in 1790 and the holding of many hundreds of state and thousands of county fairs to get ready for the great national centennial which was held in Philadelphia in 1876. The wisdom of the course of congress in that case is now clear. Whenever the people of any single state have attempted to put on such an exposition congress has readily acted in the matter, as it did in making an appropriation of $55,000 for such a celebration and exposition by the colored people in Virginia. When our race continues in its progress till 1965, when it can celebrate 100 years of freedom, place its achievements on exhibition and ask greens for help it will be granted without scarcely any opposition. The reason for this ought to be clear. The colored people of Virginia so well as the whole race are now on trial. What have colored people done along all times to elevate themselves in Virginia on a plane with the best citizens of the state? List their candidates and the conduct of the expatriates under the supervision of Colonial Glen R. Jackson in July and August, 2001, answer this question. It must answer it. The national government will appoint it. The colored people and the white people of Virginia will appoint it. Then it, by means of the permanent duty of every intelligent colored man and intelligent colored person, in this way to make it a great example in order to explain and explain the history of the colored people of the South, just the same the nation and the country in the country.

AIR BOMB IMPERILS AMERICAN CONSUL German Aviator Drops, Explosive Near Warsaw Residence. A bomb that had been dropped from a German airship fell in front of the American consulate at Warsaw, Poland, breaking the windows of the consulate, but injuring no one within, according to a telegram from American Ambassador Marye, at Petrograd. Several parsons in the street in front of the consulate wore killed and wounded, but none was an American. The incident was regarded in Washington as indicating the proximity of the German advance guard to Warsaw. American consuls received instructions early in the war to leave zones of great danger whenever invading forces arrived in their vicinity. It is expected in Washington that if Warsaw becomes a battle ground of the German and Russian armies that the American consul, and his staff will at once withdraw to a place of safety. Turkey Explains Firing on U. 8. Ship. The Turkish government has voluntarily explained to the government of the United States, through Ambassador Mongenthau, that the shots fired toward the launch of the American cruiser Tennessee were intended merely as the customary warning that the port of Smyrna was mined and closed to navigation. Although the explanation is informal and the United States is still awaiting a reply to formal representations which Ambassador Morgenthau was instructed to make to the Turkish foreign office, it was generally admitted at the White House, state and navy departments that all danger of serious complications over the incident had been removed. Ambassador Morgenthau reported that two members of the Ottoman cabinet, the ministers of interior and war, had fully explained the occurrence to him, and high officials in Washington said his message was filed before the instructions sent from Washington to discuss the subject officially with the grand vizier could have been received by him.

YOUNG SONGSTER OF RARE TALENT Fenton Johnson's Work as Poet and Journalist. PRAISED BY ABLE CRITICS. Carver of, Ambitious Student Whom Men of Lettre Hail on Second Paul Dunbar—A Little Dreaming." His Masterpiece, Gave Him Preminence With the Reading Public. BY CLEVBLAND C. ALLEN. New York.-The young men of our race who have entered the field of literature have been men of special adaptation and have given evidence of brilliant futures in the literary field. This metatheoretical field, however, attracts to it only young men of the finer taste, and most of those who have entered it have manifested natural tendencies at an early age. Among the young men of the race who have taken a proponed place in the literature of the day and who possess to a marked degree a fine literary background is Fenton Johnson, who has been hailed and proclaimed by the finest literary people of this nation as ```markdown ``` PENTON JOHNSON. a "new poet" with a new message and as the most logical successor of the lamented Duntur. Mr. Johnson is a gifted writer and is destined to occupy an exiled place in the literary achievements of the race. He was born in Chicago. May 7, 1888. He graduated from the University of Chicago in 1910 and immediately became instructor in English at the State university in Louisville, Ky., where he remained for awhile teaching. He wrote special articles for the leading magazines and daily newspapers. While a student at the University of Chicago he wrote the first legitimate play reflective Negro life and inspiration, the title of which was "The Flower of Haiti." This play was presented at the Peking theater in Chicago in 1900. This gave the young playwright a good introduction to the literary world and paved the way for the future novels which he is destined to win. This play was received favorably by the Chicago Herald, the Crisis and the Mississippi Mail. From 1002 to 1012 Mr. Johnson wrote a collection of verses which were put in book form in 1013. They appeared in a book under the title of "A Little Dreaming." and it was this book that gave the young poet his place in the literature of America and brought him to the fore. "A Little Dreaming" has attracted the abstracts of the oldest literary critic among white people and has been proclaimed by them as a production of literary literary merit. Well known and long established literary products like the London Literary World, American Review of Reviews, Correct English and the Writers' Magazines have been profuse in their interpretation of the value and merit of "A Little Dreaming." The following extracts from some of the publications quoted follow: From American Review of Reviews: "A Little Dreaming" gives promise of a true, poetic gift, a natural, spontaneous lyricism with the same distinguishing racial qualities that characterize the works of Paul Laurence Dunbar." The Chicago Daily News: "Praise-worthy in the ways of imagination, mysticism and romance." The Indiana University Freeman, Illinois Chronicle, Chicago Defender and the Crisis have also been unattended in their praises of this poet's work. These expressions from such reliable sources speak volumes for Mr. Johnson and give him a rating that makes his place in the literary field secure. The success that has come to him is borne modestly. He is still reaching out to higher endorers. He has been in New York for the past two years attending the school of journalism at Columbia university. He has contributed largely to the papers published by our people and for some time has been connected with the Eastern Press association as a special writer. He is one of the most versatile young writers of the race and has won his place in the literary achievements of the race after passing through some hard times. Mr. Johnson recently gave a recital at the Harlem Congregational church in New York.

Wants A New More Trottern. (St. Louis Mo. Argus.) Nogrophorus thats the chief trouble with Wilson. Himself a Southerner, with all the nasty, unreasoning prejudices of that class of Southerners, we never did expect much at his hands. And with so many Southern office holders under the present administration, the little we might have expected has become less. It is time that we of a great race hold our heads just as high as our white fellow-citizens, and speak our opinions just as freely. A President should look no different from any other man when he discriminates against, restricts, and insults our race. As the white press freely criticises Mr. Wilson's weaknesses and failures, so let the Negro press just as freely hold him up to scorn when he betrays us, just as we have hold his predecessors up to praise when they befriended us. A few more Trotters to speak the truth in high places would do. much towards increasing our moral courage and self-respect! Did Not Fail to Express Real Feeling (Detroit, Mich. Leader) Editor W. Monroe Trotter may have failed as a diplomat, for editors often do, in the already famous interview between the President of the United States and the committee of Colored American citizens who journeyed to Washington, D. C., last Thursday Nov. 12 to protest against the segregation in the various federal departments particularly vivid since democrats have been in control of the Federal government. But, he did not fail to express the real feeling of the colored people against the injustice of such practices by the government itself, which is supposed to protect its citizens and give and assure the principles of the Declaration of Independence "that all men were born free and equal" which is the chief cornerstone of the foundation upon which this great government—a Republic of, for and by the people, was built. Did Not Go Far Enough. (Keystone, W. Va, Mc Dowell Times). The truth is, the Committee did not go far enough. It might have told the President that the Colored people were not the only ones disappointed on account of his administration's broken promises, who would have some corrections to make at the polls in the next election. Both Learned Something. (Tulsa, Oklahoma Star.) Much has been said pro and con on the White House incident last week wherein Wm. Monroe Trotter of Boston played such a prominent part. We find on looking over the exchanges coming into our office that the sentiment among the race editors concerning the affair is about evenly divided, one side thinking the ace was damaged by Trotter's actions the other side thinking the race was benefit ed. From our observation it seems that both president Wilson and Monroe Trotter learned a few things about each other that they didn't know before. Just who was at fault is not for us to say until we have heard both sides of the case. Trotter Must Have "Causal." (Muscorce, Okla. Climber.) (Musclegow, Okla., Chinle) What did Trotter say to the President? Judging from the way the lily white papers and the mossbacks are howling he must have cussed some. Trotter certainly must have used some vigorous English or else his manner must have indicated dammit or "some sich." The Guardian will give it all and then we will see. Trotter is getting lots of free advertising in Oklahoma and in the South they are raising h——. Hopes Incident Will Be Forgotten Indianapolis, Ind. World.) The columnist of the press last week contained an interview between the President of the United States and one James Malone Trotter editor of the Boston Guardian. Mr. Trotter representing the association for the advancement of Colored people took upon himself the burden of speaking for the entire Colored population of this country, ambient the practice of segregation in virtue in some of the departments at Washington. The language used by Mr. Trotter in support of his cause, is said to have appealed to the President, and at the same time brought to Mr. Trotter a great deal of encouragement. The necessity guided by Mr. Trotter on the subject of this incident was the cause for his encouragement. His experience has been given a place in economic literature that deserves it. colleague. It will but the main when Mr. Trotter presented that aroused the fire of the President nor the manner in which it was presented. The impulse of aggression in the room presented by Mr. Trotter involves a very delicate consideration and the joint said even about a good cause is sometimes more helpful to it than the continuous discussion of it. We doubt the wisdom of making an issue of everything that pertains to Negro life. No other race suffers in this way. Mr. Trotter may feel that he is a martyr to a cause that only time can regulate. People will always choose who they will marry, lot with or sit by. Legislature can not hastil into the mind an attitude toward a race that is not in harmony with ones personal feelings. Mr. Trotter has not done the race any good-by his alleged pugnacity, nor the cause he so zealously espouses. The mass-meeting recently held in Washington condemning the President does not reflect the best sense of the American Negro. We hope the incident will soon be forgotten and buried in the scrap heap of oblivion. Must Fight For Rights (Hannibal, Mo. Home Protective Record.) The only way we can get our rights is to fight, for them, even though we are sometimes unsuccessful in obtaining them, it will at least show that we are in earnest and determined. The Negro in the eyes of this prejudicial nation, has long been looked upon as the "White Man's Burden"; little does this land of the free and home of the brave think about the many burdens they have heaped, upon us, yes many with out cause or provocation, until now the heads of the different departments at the Washington Government are practicing segregation which, is very objectionable to the Negro citizens of this country as well as to the humble "clerks" that labor so ardently, and do their work equally as well as their white contemporaries. The rebuke of the Committee of Colored Citizens last week by President Wilson was wholly uncalled for and shows his attitude toward the Negro, and if we read between the lines we can clearly see that old "Race Hatred" that has so long been in the hearts of many white people who style themselves as "Christian Gentlemen." Yet the President in taking the segregation issue into his own hands by giving Mr. Trotter and his Aids an audience made a national issue of it, wherons if the gentlemen had been referred to the different heads of the departments where segregation is in vogue. It would have saved embarrassment on the part of Mr. Wilson, and the ridiculous situation in which, both he and the Committee were placed. On the other hand agitation is bad for us all: "If you put your head in the lion's mouth he'll surely bite it off," however the fire has been kindled so do not let it go out. Should Consider Conditions (Montgomery, Ala. Colored Alabama.) Those who are apt to think about and talk about this Trötter-White House incident must keep in mind the Southern feeling and Southern viewpoint before they pass judgment. Mr. Wilson is Southern born and reared and must share his peculiar Southern feeling down to its very bottom. Besides that he is surrounded in the government by men who are from the South, many of whom are hostile to every interest of the colored man and who keep alive this Southern feeling which we have referred to. President Wilson's statement that if the Negro people had made a mistake in voting for him, they ought to correct it, "is far different in tone and spirit, from his addresses in the Presidential campaign of 1912 and rings true to his Southern Democratic training and feeling. Mr. Trotter has many enemies among Negro editors who will rejoice at his present predicament, but we call their attention to the fact that whatever may be said of him and whatever mistakes he has made, he has been true to the manhood interests of his race, and has biddily stood up for his people at every call. He was born, reared and educated in New England and has not been trained in the art of addressing Southern white men. Should Uphold Trotter. (Asbury Pk. N.J. Peoplea Recorder) (Ashbury Pk. N., J. People Recorder) The case of W: M. Trotter and President Wilson is just another repetition of the same old story, dissatisfaction, impulsiveness bolting bright and rosy promises, betrayal, disappointment and indignation mass meetings. The time will come when the colored man will if he is out of the G. O. P. ranks will get back and stay. A good many want to be the king bee, I would say let him be if he is qualified, but no, emphatically no if he is not. This seems to be the whole trouble with a good many of our colored men of ability, they demand and, because exactly what they want is not immediately forthcoming, they become impatient and both only to return repentant. It is my advice to stick to those who have always been your friends and leave uncertain things alone. Mr. Tropter who is a man of ability and undaunted courage as his recent experience with the head of the nation will show, doubtless thought that he was right when he went to see President Wilson who was then aspiring to the Presidency. He stated in his recent speech to President Wilson that he thought that he would be a second Abraham Lincoln. We now see that this man was preposterous and Mr. Wilson, the Christian Gentleman who begins to go to heaven who is not such thing as grupation in thought of has simply turned out characteristically of his party. Against all and may move on the rest of Columba's words that tends to ward advertisements. Let us uphold for Trotters hand and secure him a man, one who is worthy to represent as a race and one who has the courage to go forth and bear our standard. All honor, to Tropper and may be with the help of God succeed. Did Not Use Diplomacy. (San Francisco, Cal Western Outlook.) The committee that visited President Wilson last week to protest segregation in the departments at Washington did not accomplish much now. If we are to judge from the many newspaper reports of the same, But W. M. Trotter, editor of the Boston Guardian, who was chairman of the committee, lost his head and said things to the President that were in very bad taste. As a race, we cannot make headway by any such methods. We are too weak and too helpless, and we must use diplomacy—common sense, if you please. Those who attempt to speak for us should bear this in mind, and not injure a cause by making an astonish exhibition of themselves. Sometimes you have to stoop to conquer—other races have done so, and the Negro, with his lack of equipment, will have to do the same thing. Must Give It To Trotter. We at all times take W. M. Trotter as aradical of the radicals in all things racial, but on this occasion we must give it to Trotter when he goes right up to the biggest man in our land and on his toes tells of the wrongs that are being-heaped up in part of our most loyal citizenship. True it was a bitter pill for the President and it gagged him his only relief was to diamise Trotter from his presence. So we verily hope Mr. Trotter has come to a realization that he made a serious blunder when he advocated democracy for the cure of the fills of the body politic and after his latest rebuft at the white house can repent in sack cloth and ashes. As we foresaid we admire Mr. Trotter's pluck and believe that he was entirely right in the promises and he only went some of our leaders by points further that he was game enough to tell even Woodrow Wilson the truth of the situation. Trotter's Diplomacy Won! (Philadelphia, Pa. Christian Index. The Southern newspapers are giving considerable front page space, as well as extensive editorials to the Trotter-Wilson interview. There is an elation pervading that section over the fact that the President has endorsed "segregation." The diplomacy of Editor Trotter in putting a little force and energy behind his argument has resulted favorably to our cause, inamuch as he aroused the President's fire sufficiently to force from him an immediate expression of his position upon this matter. Without this plain talk of Trotter's, very likely the President would have found some subterfuge behind which to hide and thereby prolong this declaration. More promises would have been forthcoming and the delegation would have departed without knowing just where our Chief Executive stood on this question. Trotter diplomacy triumphs; the die has been cast. Negro Democracy of the North and West must give way to Negro Republicanism. Trotter Was Eternally Right. (Greenshore N. C. Herald.) If we may judge by the comments expressed by the Negro press, from time to time, William Monroe Trotter is not a very popular man. Some who claim to know him say he lacks tact and that he is inclined to be somewhat hot-headed. That he has had the courage of his convictions, no one will deny and while many have differed from him on race questions and have frequently criticised his methods, few have questioned his sincerity or doubted his loyalty to his people. The recent interview of a committee of which he was spokesman with the President has again brought him into the limelight, and the Associated Press correspondents seem to have left the impression that the conduct of Mr. Trotter at the white house was somewhat unbecoming a gentleman of his advantages and training. Of course bad manners are always out of order, and there is no excuse for a man's ungentlemanly in the presence, of those who have extended him the courtesy of an audience, and specially does this hold true when it comes to the President of the United States. If Mr. Trotter in his zeal overstamped the bounds of propriety, it is to be regretted, but that he was eternally right in his fight on segregation of Negro employees in the government service and that his denunciation of the spirit of caste which has been encouraged to show its head in some of the departments at Washington was altogether proper and timely are the opinions of editorial writers on the New York World and the New York Evening Post both of which have been among the most ardent supporters of the Wilson administration. Mr. Trotter was a Wilson man and during the last campaign he used the columns of the Guardian, his paper, to urge the Negroes to return to Congress representatives in sympathy with the President's economic policies. (New York Crisis.) Wl Monroe Trotter is a brave man. Of his fearlessness and his unselfish devotion to the highest interests of the Negro race there can be no doubt. Principal Woodrow Wilson is a 18 hearty sensitive man. He has a high 1 Why Everybody Should Read THE NEGRO FARMER.

He feels "kindly" toward Negroes he wants to "help" them, he would not knowingly hinder them; but when it comes to treating black men as independent human beings, the equals of other citizens in the United States, the thing is simply beyond Mr. Wilson's conception. When two men like this come together to discuss segregation, granting them both honesty, good will and earnestness, as indeed we must, there is going to be trouble, if not anger and positive discourtesy. One thing is certain. Mr. Trotter voiced the feelings of nine-tenths of the thinking Negroes of this country. Grand Time There. Grand time at Midlothian with the K. of P. when Midlothian Lodge No. 140 added to their Lodge six new members on that Wednesday 25 last, the members received their degrees in their new castle hall. The D. G. C. John Bland were met at the station by Sir Hopry Jones, C. C. H. W. Choice and they went to the new Lodge where the members were made. He was surprised to know that the new building was ready to meet in. Every member was so proud of the new building they spent the entire night. The D. G. C. remarked they must have fifty members by the time the Grand Lodge meets. There was much praise among white and colored, for the grand work done by this order. Music In Public Schools. "What percentage of the pupils in the grammar grades of our public schools can sing an ordinary, hymn at sight?" One hundred and nineteen schools out of 433 say that 75 percent of their pupils can do talks, according to the United States Bureau of Education. Convinced of the fundamental importance of music as a school subject, Dr. P. P. Claxton Commissioner of Education, requested Mr. Will Earhart, director of music in the schools of Pittsburgh, Pa., to make a thorough investigation of music teaching in the schools of the several States. A bulletin containing the results of Mr. Earhart's investigations has just been issued. According to this bulletin about 90 per cent of the schools of the country require music and practically all of these have the course graded. The weakness of the present system, in Mr. Earhart's view, is that only a small per cent of the grade teachers are required to pass an examination in music. The work in the schools is done largely through supervisors of directors of music. Ten per cent of the schools have music; half that number have organs. The order of popularity with the student in regard to music reverses exactly the order that the school authorities desire. Students regard music first from the standpoint of appreciation, then history, and finally harmony. Mr. Earhart finds that "the less formal and academic the plan the greater the popularity." In discussing Mr. Earhart's findings Commissioner Claxton declares, "Good music is necessary not only for enjoyment and recreation, but also for inspiration and for salvation from death in the din dust of trades and this music should be democratic in the truest and best sense. Although not recognized in the course of study of our earliest public schools, music has, within the last 25 or 30 years, been introduced to some extent into the schools of most progressive cities and of many towns, villages; and country communities, though by many it is still considered unessential and a fad. Sooner or later we shall not only recognise the culture value of music, we shall also begin to understand that, after the beginnings of reading, writing, arithmetic, and geometry, music has greater practical value than any other subject taught in the schools."

The Florence Educational and Missionary Union of Florence County met at Chaney Grove, near Carrollsville S. C. on Saturday, Nov. 29. I did not attend the Union Saturday, but spent Sunday, there. The first person I saw on Sunday A. M. was Rev. A. J. Streeter. He and Miss Streeter stopped with one of the members of Chaney Grove, near the Station. Rev. Streeter and myself took a walk while our team was being harnessed. But Professor, said Rev. Streeter you have not found any one to suit you as yet: Not yet I said I am still single. Then we talked about the Union. I have been reliably informed that there was considerable unpleasantness during Saturday's Session. Yes somewhat said Rev. Streeter. Since Saturday I have talked with several brothren of the Saturday's meeting. The trouble seems to have been as following: After the churches present had reported and a full in the proceeding was there about. There was a kind of a temporary adjournment, so to speak, the Moderator vacated the chair for a short while and passing through the ante room went out in the church yard near by. Just now his attention was called to the reopening of the meeting. The Moderator Rev. C. T. Taylor sent word for the Vice-Moderator, Rev. Daniel Robinson to preside. The courier thought Rev. E. R. Roberts the Stake Missionary was meant and accordingly Rev. E. R. Roberts was asked by the message beaver to take the chair. After finishing with Minor matters that part of the program was reached calling for the Election of Officers. At Rev. J. R. Brooks suggestion Rev. Edward Ham, motioned that the election of Officers be postponed until the January meeting. This motion prevailed. Just then Rev. Isaac the Moderator came in and saw what had been done. Rev. Taylor ruled that according to the constitution and the program the Union was without a head, and in fact that it really did not exist because each and every officer had served his time and it was just and proper that the election be held Now. The chair further ruled that inasmuch as the Vice-Moderator was present and physically prepared to preside that no other person had any legal right to preside and that all matters relative to the election of Officers while Rev. E. R. Roberts presided was illegal. Just then a member said. Well then if that be the case all that has been done during the Roberts administration is illegal. Rev. Brooks the Treasurer rose and said that his object for suggestion that the election be postponed because he, Rev. Brooks, wanted to have a private talk with the Moderator relative to his being absent on Sunday during the Session of the Union. Rev. E. Ham then said had he known this he never would have made the motion to postpone the election until the January meeting. Rev. Taylor thought that as he and the Treasurer had been together quite much during the Saturday morning Rev. Brooks should have told him of the complaint. After considerable discussion by Rev. J. G. Gregg, A. J. Streeter, E. Ham, C. McDonald, C. G. Horn, H. B. McPhail, Zimmerman and others all seemed to be at a fervent heat. Rev. Taylor the Moderator tendered his resignation. The resignation was not accented. In my judgment it was a mistake to have passed a motion to postpone the election until the January Meeting. No Plausable reason has been given, and some unpleasantness has been witnessed. The program called for an election and it was the proper time. The matter was to be amicably settled at the January Meeting at Mt. Rona Baptist church January 30th, 1915. Mr. John H.

He was set apart and duly commissioned. Rev. A. J. Cary was Moderator and Rev. F. L. Hall, Clerk. From Farmville on Mr. Trotter. Farmville, Va. Nov 30, 1911 Mr. Editor: There are all expressions of comments coming from all sections of the Country on the visit of the delegation of Negroes from Boston Mass to the White House, Washington D.C. and what W. M. Trotter, as spokesman, said to President Wilson Trotter and the President both have been commended and commended for some things they said, and no doubt both of them said some things they might not have said and would have accomplished just about as much good under the present administration. Mr. Wilson was mistaken when he said this aggregation, rule in the Government is not a political question it is one of a grave nature and he will see it before the dawn of 1916. Had Mr. Trotter been born and educated in this section of the country knowing that the President by birth and many years of duration was a Southerner plain and simple he, no doubt, would have made a different presentation and used language peculiarly adapted to the subject. Addressed and would have, at least, received from the President a smile and a promise to look into the matter. We will admit that no man understands the Negro better than the southern white man and no man understands the southern white man better that the southern Negro. Mr. Trotter should have known on a business proposition when a white man approaches another white man and states facts as they are it is all right, but when a Negro on the same business proposition states the facts to a white man pure and simple he is a "Saucy Negro." It is a fact the President made promises to the Democratic Negro delegations and Mr. Trotter was among that number so Trotter was calling him to his promise and he had failed in so many it made him angry. Now what will be the outcome? It will not be like the Booker T. Washington dining with the President, that seemingly stirred the Country for a while; and then they decided there was nothing in one great man dining with another. Under similar conditions. So now the question of "Booker T dining with Teddy," is a thing of the past. Will it be like unto the Nat Turner and John Brown's raid, which created in the branches of millions sympathy for the oppressed Negroes in this Country who filthment was agitated upon the Bear of Congress and the Senate Chamber of Illinois. Boys' and G This segregation rule in this Country, and most especially in the Government Departments under the Constitution which guarantees to all citizens equal rights and privileges is a disgrace upon a civilized Nation perpetrated by the Administrators. This race discrimination in the administration of the affairs affecting the political and civic rights of a part of the citizens is a condition which cannot stand. In all great National movements in correcting wrongs of long standing there has turned up from some unexpected place a Nat Turner, John Brown, William Lloyd Garrison, a Douglass and last but not least a William Monroe Trotter, to stir the Nation and cause them to think. Before the sun goes down in 1916 the day of the National Election the Administrators of the affairs of this Government will know that Trotter and his delegation have awakened the Negroes of this Country and their influence will be felt from ocean to ocean and from the lakes to the Gulf.

Mob Hanga Man And Wife With Interest to Date Included. Byhalia, Miss., Nov. 27.-Fred Sullivan a colored man, and his wife, accused of having set fire to a barn on a plantation near Byhalia several days ago, were hanged by a mob, which forced deputy sheriff and his poesie, who had arrested the couple, to stand idly by while the lynching was in progress.

Sullivan, it is stated, was first hanged from the limb of a tree, and within a few minutes the woman met a Mke fate.
