CHAPTER II. The Sleeping House Mystery. THE clearing of John Storm was a nine days' wonder. In court Hassam All testified that Burns had been seeking some facts regarding the past and that he, Hassam All, had succeeded in aiding him to a certain extent. But the name of Beneathold had never been mentioned during those seances. He could not imagine why Burns had committed the crime. There was no evidence to be found that the two men had ever exchanged a word. He was rather confounded at the turn of events. The broken phrase "but another" was as much a mystery to him as to the court. It was inexplicable. Hassam All, a good friend of Burns, was grilling from the district attorney, but the answer answered every question calmly and in detail. He admitted that he was a disciple of the Hindu cult; admitted that he had the gift of second sight at times. There were many who could testify to this. Hassam All finally left the witness chair with honors in his favor. A subsequent investigation by the police revealed nothing to his discord it so far as the law was concerned. His past, from the circus days to the present day, was as an open book. Indeed, Hassan Alla was himself the investigator of this research. He wanted it definitely understood that, while his cult was not looked upon favorably by the police, he was not the object of any justifiable suspicion. His grave air, his unfailing patience under the glues of the interrogator, his frankness, all won him at least the respect of his detractors. The man Burns was buried at the expense of the city, and what was known as the Hirenoth case went into the police case as one more unpleasant mystery. It was remarked, however, among his associates that John Storm lost a deal of his impunity and that in his subsequent case he was no longer brilliant and eratic, but calm and steady, always extremely well fortified within his facts. New York city has without doubt the most considerable population of any city in the world. The only aliens race which does not find habitat in New York is the Aztec, and that is merely because the Aztec is extinct. And each race has quietly formed a city of its own within the greater city. There are Little Italy, the Glicott, Chinatown and heaven knows how many others, all familiar to sightseers. But among these others that even the police never hear about except by purported accident. Who can say he knows the heart of Chinatown unless he actively belongs to it? On a certain night two weeks after the Blencott case, recorded in the preceding chapter, Zubira heard the clock chime the hour of 9. She went upstairs to her room and threw up the shade for a final glance at the heavens and praised in amazement. Coming toward the house was the strongest procession she had ever seen. Turbans, flowing robes and white pantons here in this workaday city of New York! She rubbed her eyes as if striving to awake. She looked again. They were trooping silently up the steps. She next heard the thunder of the knocker, which nobody used in these days of electric buttons. She then became silive to the fact that this was reality. She reached the head of the stairs just as her uncle's Hindu servant, Amed, opened the door. He bowed deeply and ceremoniously. He was dressed a good deal like his strange visitors. Zodora came down the stairs unde- cided as to whether she was frightened or merely upset. The man who was griidently the leader of this strange anwra* advanced to wield Zodora. "I wish," he said in broken English, "or use him who is called Hannan ALL, the giver of light." "The people who are my uncle!" said Zodora, equally colored. "And you, my daughter!" "His place, I will call him." "She left the hallway and sought the mystic room, where she found Hassam All crowded over his globe. He looked up impatiently. "Well?" "Some Hindus to see you, uncle." "Hindus, at this time of night? Why didn't you send Amed to me? It lowers you in his opinion to take upon yourself to do his work." Hindus—what can they want, I wonder? "I'm sure I don't know nor care"—a bit angry at being rebuffed by her uncle. When Hassam All stood before his knees there was some time wasted in gumming his teeth. "You are Hassam All, the man who kisses?" "Your servant here recommended you to us, Sahib, we are in the midst of a strange mystery. In our absence the god of sleep comes suddenly and unwares. Our own god seems to have forgotten us. This dread thing comes almost instantly, and we are taken in soep no matter what pose we are in. That we are here ought and not under the evil gods' influence is due to the fact that we waited outside the octagonal room." "The scandalous room," repeated Hassan. All thoughtfully. "You are known to us as a great yogi, a bear into the future. Will you aid us to find out what causes this dread bloom? Our servants are economists and interpolated with." All this was in an English that was only fairly understandable. Here and there Hassan All's man interpolated the right word. "You will accompany us, Huzoot?" Hassam All smiled and held. Here was an adventure that rather appealed to him. More than that, it would banish from his mind, at least temporarily, certain psychological agencies which were making their power felt more and more strongly as the days went by. "I must go, too, uncle," said Eudorde "Hurry, then. I should like to see these people before they come out of their trance." They went away to get their wrap. Before going downstairs again Zudora THE FIGHT "Tell me where she has gone or I will kill you!" fondled for a moment the carrier pigeon whose Storm had given, her recently, John had one for himself. The bird's carried messages. Aside from its practicality it was very romantic and elevated the necessity of trusting one's secrets to the telephone girls. And Zudora was not always sure that some one in the house was not listening when she telephoned. As Hassan All never entered this room of hers she was quite confident that he knew nothing of the pigeons. When they returned to the visitors they were greatly astonished to learn that they were to go blindfolded, garbed in oriental costume. Hassam All objected. Very well, then; the Hindus declared that they would go elsewhere for aid. They made this decision unmotivationally. Hassam All bent his head to signify that if they took that attitude he was ready to submit. Presently the procession fled out into the street. They hurried along for several blocks; then came a long automobile ride. Hassam All counted the turns and felt quite assured in the end that they were being driven in circles and that the house of mystery was not so far away as it seemed. When the bandages were finally taken off Zudora found herself in a room which might easily have been taken bodily out of the "Arabian Nights." It was, indeed, like some fabulous farmland—the idols, the sleeping people, the strange, sweet, after which seemed to permeate everything. She was not sure that she had not been transported by some magic carpet to the heart of the ancient city of England. Sue became childishly inquisitive. She moved about the recumbent figures, and suddenly she came upon what looked for all the world like the sleeping beauty of the fairy tale. The sleeping woman was beautiful in the accepted sense of the Caucasian race. Her skin was as light as Zudora's own, which generally wore a slight tan, due to her out of door habits. Near the young woman lay the figure of a the looking native. Zudora surmised that these sleeping people had been in the midst of some solemn ceremony, possibly a wedding, when overtaken. The caucasian resembled nothing so much as a prearranged tablum such as she had often played at school. "Who is this beautiful woman?" asked Hassam, All, as keenly intertwined as Zudora. "She is our ruler, our princess. All," he murmured, darling toward Zudora; who was how sleeping over the sleeping beauty. "The meenshall must not touch!" "But"—began Zudora. "The mensubtils touch would delish," she said the mansely stollen. Meantime an idea had come to Hassan Amal. He was beginning to sense a peculiar heatness about his eyes, and he realized with alarm that this mysterious sleep was overstimating him. Quietly and unobserved he slipped from the room and managed after some difficulty and some explanations to reach the street. Zudora was there alone. If she was clever enough she might extricate herself: if not—well, that was Hassan Alla's idea. Zudora went on with her visual investigations, quite oblivious to the fact that her uncle had deserted her. The strange idols fascinated her, especially the heroe one before which were grouped the sleepers. It was a monster, a man's body with an elephant's head. As she gazed up at its sinister little eyes she began to see things as through a film of rain. It seemed as if some invisible hands were forcing her down, down. There was no feeling of alarm, no sense of danger; just a grateful, dreamy sensation, not unlike that of going to bed after some strucure. The object of it was that she was conscious of making to effort to fight off this sleep. As she felt she clutched in her hand a little very figure, a small elephant which had evidently escaped the fingers of the princess when she succumbed. Now there had grown in John Storm's heart an orientalism, doubtless engendered by his frequency at the house of Hissam All. It consisted of a polygonal sense of danger to Zudors at those moments when she really was in danger. He could not have analyzed this sensation, but he immediately surrendered to it. He was this night in the act of retiring when this sense came to him. He at once went to his desk and wrote a note, which he attached to the carrier pigeon. In less than a quarter of an hour the bird returned. The message had not been received. Storm got into his topper and hat and hurried over to the Keen place. Aimed answered his ring, but hesitated to admit the man his master had forbidden the house. "Where is your mistress?" demanded Storm. "She is out, snail." "Where?" "I cannot tell you," said the servant, gradually closing the door. But Storm was in no mood for parlaying. He resolutely pushed his way in. In his hand there was an automatic. "You will tell the where she has gone or I'll kill you!" he said, making no effort to lower his voice. "Sahit, Hassam All will kill me if I tell you!" I aimed. "I don't care what he'll do, but I know what I'll do if you don't answer me. Where has she gone?" The curtains stirred a little, but neither Storm nor the servant noticed this. Hassam All peered forth cautiously. The servant saw in Storm's eyes a species of madness, and he was quite certain that Sahib Storm would shoot him, as he said. Rapidly he recounted what had taken place. "You can take me there just as soon as you can." "Very well, sahib. But it will be the death of us both in the end." The curtains fell back gently, Hassam All returned to his globe smiling. Both of them! Storm was greatly astonished when the Hindu told him that he must be blindfolded. He refused, emphatically. "Very well, sahib. Shoot. I cannot take you where the momeahib is without blindfolding you." Storm saw that the man was in concert; so, after much grumbling and warning, he submitted to be blindfolded. Half an hour later the burgundy was taken from his gym. "Where is she?" he whispered to his Storm suddenly moved forward until he came upon the form of the sleeping princess. He was rather sadd in spite of his democratic assurance. What in her heaven's name was going on here? Where was he? In Hammett, in the middle of a bad dream? Suddenly, even as he gazed, the woman on the rug before the idol stirred and sighed. Her dart, slooflike eyes opened. Storm stopped and raised her to her feet. "Is Zudora here?" be asked. Zudora lay almost at his feet, but he had not recognized her, due to the outlandish costume. The princess looked at him bewilderingly, shaking her head. Presently THE LIFE OF MARY C. MAYER He Was Overcome and Taken Away From the Octagonal Room. He Was Overcome and Taken Away From the Octagonal Room. he spoke softly, but so far as his knowing the intent of the liquid words it might as well have been the wind moving through the treetops. The hand some native who had been lying at the side of the princess now opened his eyes, saw the strange white man talking or trying to talk to his princess. The stump left him almost instantly. He sprung to his feet, a vicious looking knife in his hand. Feringh! he shouted. Which means a foreigner. Others came to life at the same moment, and John Storm found himself in a predicament little to his liking. He was strong and sturdy, but he was no match for the dozen of so little East Indians. He was overcome and taken away from the octagonal room. He was cast into a steel dungeon in the basement of the house. The sleeping mystery of this house had its ebb and now evidently, Zudora awoke without any abnormal effect for her short shan, and the men who had gone to Hassam All's house also awoke, Nabok Shan demanded of them who this white girl was. Were they betraying him? They should do like dogs in that case. They graveded and hastily explained that she was the niece of the celebrated Hassam All and that she might be able to break the power of the sudden sleep by discovering how it was accomplished. "Where is this man Hassam All, then?" demanded Nabok Shan, who had grown very suspicious. "Huzor, we know not. Mayhap overcome as we were by the sleep. But this memahab is clever and may help us." "Who was this man I just sent to the dungeon?" "We know not." "Well, you speak the occured English tongue. Question her and learn what she has to say. And on your beads be it if there is any sign of treachery." "It is justly said the leader of the men who had brought Zudora. They then proceeded to squat down upon the rug, and Zudora piled her questions and culled a story which ran somewhat as follows: It began in southern India. A certain native prince had in his extreme youth, as is customary in India, be betrothed to the little princess of a neighboring state. There were great festivities, not to say extravagant ones, in honor of the event. When the girl became a young woman and the boy a young man the marriage ceremony was brought about, but not commensal, for the simple fact that a prince of still another principality had been the princess and had determined to make her his own regardless of the possibility of throwing the three states into a tribal war. The British raj uttered it, but not until a good deal of war had weight. The rival prince was Nabok burgtain. He hardy and none too scrupulous chieftain. He succeeded in carrying off the princess, but he was beset by so many trials that he fed from India to America with the bulk of his treasure and the purified princess. The house with its oriental trappings had been the property of an uncle, who had chosen American because his neck had been in danger. "But the mystery is this, memahm: It is written that the marriage ceremony shall take place before our god, the elephant headed, and always when we begin the ceremony we are thus strangely overcome by sleep. Solve this riddle for us and my master will pay you well." The spokesman addressed a few words to Nabok Shan. The prince smiled and dragged a rope of super pearls before the girl, intimating that in the event of her success they would become here. Now, Zeddora did not seek monetary reward, but she was wise beyond her years in understanding the ornamental mind, due to the several years that her niece had employed blindness as servants. If she admitted that she acted for no reward there dark pearls that would hastily begin to support her, and once, they compelled her her life would not be worth a map of the world. Butliness it would not be such a very hard object to imagine much of the present world. may be Nabok Shan that she hoped to solve the mystery for the sake of the pearl, being a normal woman. But she must have free run of the house. This was agreed, but under no circumstance must she leave without being blindfolded, and moreover, she must remain that night. Eodom accepted the conditions philosophically. She never wore Nabok Shan's rope of pearl, however. She would have liked very much though, to acquaint her lover with her whereabouts. Her uncle's disappearance puzzled her. But perhaps he had already, begun his investigations. The night passed uneventfully. Those who slept did so naturally. Zudorn, however, wandered in and out among the curious alcoves and quiet balconies. She peered behind the grotesque statues into the fountain. Whenever the ceremony began sleep came. This fact kept ringing through her mind. She just must solve it. It would be another step toward her lover and happiness. One thing she ascertained for future use and this was the exit more or less, carelessly guarded. She might have to take to her heels. And all the while, in the steel dun- geon below, Storm saw the walls slow- ly and relentlessly contract. He had beaten upon the unfeeling steel until this knuckles bled. He had shouted until his lungs hurt, and smaller and smaller grew his prison. He recalled a certain tale by Poo and touched the metal from time to time to see if it were growing hot. But it was evident that he was to be crushed only, not incinerated. Morning came. The feast of the night before was remamed. Naught girls danced; musicians played the sax and walling music of the cast. Zudora had quickly wet her handkerchief in the basin of the fountain and at the moment the ceremony began held the wet dandelion to her nose. She showed her forelight in this, for shortly after the music began the people in the octagonal room fell to nodding and from nodding into peaceful sleep. Even with the aid of the dampened handkerchief Zudora could not wholly escape the subtle and amazing narcotic. She strigged blindly toward the exit. How she managed to reach the street was something she could never remember. She was mighty glad to get back to New York again, for she had been 13,000 miles away in spirit if not in fact. Still, she determined to return and solve the riddle. She had already formed a campaign. What simple tools these orientals were in some respects? Haslam All concealed his astonishment. Yet something down in ```markdown ``` Storm Saw the Walls Slowly and Relentlessly Contract. his soul told him that she would return unburth. "But how did you escape, uncle?" "They wanted you," he gild glibly. "They bluffed you again and sent me about my business. What did you learn?" "Enough to determine me to see what I can do. Of course it is a colossal trick of some sort, but it would not be wise to suggest that. It must be proved." "My child, this is altogether a strange business. These orientals are quick to distract. If they find you gone when they wake up it is quite likely they will try to kill you." Then she ran upstairs. She was anxious to send a message to Storm by the carrier pigeon. She wrote a short note explaining the situation and liberated the bird. Storm's housekeeper received the bird and naturally read the message. She scribbed on the back of this message and informed her master's sweetheart that he had left the house in haste the night before and had not yet returned. The return of the pigeon left Zudora in a fair state of excitement. She immediately set out for Storm's apartments, but the housekeeper could add nothing further than that Mr. Storm had sent a pigeon to her and it had come back with the note. Zudorn returned home and guzzed her uncle; but, of course, he ployedly denied having seen Storm. Surprisingly, she piled the Hindu servant. This man secretly worshiped the young membhil, and by and by she got the facts from him. So! She had not only to solve the mystery of the sleeping house, but to save her lover also. She would be without a mission in that fantastic house, and it was quite likely that he would be made to suffer for his audacity. Bravely she set out for the house of Nabok Bhan and boldly she demanded admittance. The servant at the door recognized her, but it took a bribe to open the door wide enough for her to step through. The persistent ceremony was being started again. To Zudorn it would have been laughable but for the new tragedy underneath. The man who had brought her to the house originally finally disheartened to what had been done to storm. His death had been claimed on An Indian grand wizard skipped the many days over a man in a purple difference from that wager by them in the octagonal room. He shone up in where he stood and correctly wrestled him and became easily convinced of the desire to stone. He breathed through her, handshaking, lowering her per glance water from the hidden man. He turned, smiling bronzely, and she saw him raise a stone in the flooring. He disappeared into a pit, letting the stone fall carefully into place. Sleep had again attached those determined upon the ceremony. One would think that they would have at least given his some chance to investigate before proceeding again in an endeavor which had so many times proved a failure. This very sleep, however, gave her freedom of action. She stole from the octagonal room, found the stone, raised it and discovered a tunnel. It was not the safest tunnel in the world, but with John's life hanging in the balance she accepted her chances. The tunnel led to a room under the cellar. This room, bewildered, her far more than the octagonal one. There was a large rat, which had the appearance of a distillation rat, with many little pipes leading up from it. The men gathered about this strange contrivance were evidently of a different case from those in the upper room. A tall, graceful young man seemed to be directing the others. One of them, however, saw the shadow by the door, drew his knife and stole quietly up to the girl. She was caught! Ready witted, she asked. "Do you speak English?" The man passed. He nodded grimly. "I am a friend. I would save your princess. I would defeat Nabok Sheen." My lover is hidden somewhere in this house. Save him, and I will save the princess." The man turned to see if his comrades had observed him. They were all busy with the vat. "I will go with the memsabib. If she has lied she shall die." "I agree to that." Once home she ran upstairs for her automatic. When she came down again the stranger had vanished. Aimed refused to speak and Hassam All did not know what she was talking about. "He came in behind me," she declared. Then he took to his heels the moment his back was turned. "Over her shoulder to Amed Hassam All went a terrible glance, and Amed knew that death awaited him if he opened his lips. He was still breathing heavily from the strangle. Zudora left the house more deeply puzzled than ever. Two hours later she had cleared up the mystery of the sleeping house and rescued Storm from his dreadful prison. The fact that the ceremony could take place only before the elephant headed god made it a simple game to the enemies of Nabok Shan. Zudora did not go to the octagonal room, but proceeded directly to the secret chamber. For one belief moment death stared her in the eyes, but she spoke briskly in return for the Liberation Declaration, declared that with the aid of one man she would bring the princess down to them. The young prince struck his forehead in rage. He had never thought of such a thing. His one aim had been to force Nabok Shan from the house and then to take his tortured. When the princess awoke, the next time she found her true lover gazing down into her eyes. Then they stisted out in search of Storm, and they were just in time. The steel chamber had become a box, coffin shaped, three feet square and eight feet high. Storm was in bad shape, but food and water and an hour or so in the outer air revived him. "Will you be good hereafter?" he asked to Zudorn. "Yes." "You promise never to go anywhere without first sending the pigeon?" "Yes." "And now what the dickens made those chaps go to sleep?" She explained. The vet was a brow of an oriental narcotic, the vapor of THE MUSIC OF THE MUSIC OF THE MUSIC She Found the Stone, Raised it and Discovered a Tunnel. which superinduced sleep. It was quite transitory and harmless. The pipe led to all the elephant trunks, and each time the ceremony began the vapor was liberated at a signal from the watcher above. "That's the oriental mind, John. They cannot go at anything in a straightforward way. It must be all mystery and trickery." "Do you know, Zudorn?" he said ruminatively. "Know what." "That I've an idea we'll be married before the year is out!" The Age of Vintage Venice is used upon buildings, jewels and people. It can be observed in local buildings, industrial malls, public and religious buildings. It is most relatively in Italy, except Italy, but is mostly in Portugal. Of the buildings and public buildings in Venice there in various circumstances. Some who know it, some are born with it, but in this country somebody has had it thrown upon him, because it is raised on highly that no one wishes to part with it. Sometimes the question is asked to what in the difference between venerd and the real thing. It is different because venerd is something is no more that there is no basis of comparison. Venerd Sorensen in all climates. It is no respecter of persons. It is cultivated by college professors, authors, and lawyers. It probably reaches its highest state of perfection, however, when exhibited by young girls who have just been graduated from some finishing school.—Life. Colonel Isaac Newton Lewis, inventor of the rapid fire gun which aided the Belgians to put up such a remarkable resistance, is a retired American army officer, late of the United States const artillery. The weapon, which easily fires 500 shots a minute, is said to be the most perfect of its kind in the world. It was offered to this country, to Germany and England before Colonel Lewis took it to Belgium, where he perfected terms for its manufacture. C The candidacy of Prince Eitel Friedrich, second son of the kaiser, is certainly being energetically many. It has been put about in Hungary that the name Eitel is merely a name, not a nationality, naturally, according to German reasoning, marks out the holder of the name as hereditary claimant to the indole, and the result is, therefore, will be one of the results of this war for Hungary. CANADIANS KILL AMERICAN GUNNER Soldiers Fire on Two Duck Hunters. One American was instantly killed and another seriously wounded by Canadian troops patrolling the Canadian border at Fort Erie, Ont., opposite Buffalo, N. Y. The men were hunting ducks out of season in the Niagara river and in Canadian waters. Thomas Delaney, a provincial policeman, of Fort Erie, ordered the men to stop shooting. They refused, and Delaney called upon a corporal and two privates of the Forty-fourth battalion of the Canadian militia for assistance. The corporal ordered the men to come ashore. Instead they headed their boat for the American shore and were beating a hasty retreat when at the order of Delaney the soldiers fired upon them. Walter Smith was shot through the head and killed and Charles Dorsch was seriously wounded in the shoulder. Both resided in Buffalo. ] When the hunters toppled over in their boat the soldiers put out in a boat and towed the hunters' craft to shore. ] Secretary Bryan was notified of the shooting by J. B. Curtis, United States vice consul at Fort Erie. ] "Whether or not complications will result is a debatable question," said Mr. Curtis: "While two Americans were shot, the information available indicates that they were shooting ducks without a Canadian license and were in Canadian waters, where they had no right to be under the circumstances." WOULD VOTE ON WAR Senator Owen Would Have Majority of Voters Approve Before Action. Aggressive warfare by the United States would be possible only on the approval of a majority of the voters of the country, under a constitutional amendment proposed by Senator Owen. -The power of the president to call out troops to resist invasion would not be altered; but declaration of an offensive war would have to be submitted to a referendum.

All communications intended for publication should be sent so as to reach us by Wednesday. Entered at the Post Office at Richmond, Va. with second-class matter. Prof. Kelly Miller has offered the name of William Monroe Trotter for the Spingarn metal. Extensively he did not consult Dr. Booker T. Washington before doing so. The action of the United States Senate in amending their immigration bill by providing for the barring of persons of African descent has waked up Dr. Booker T. Washington, who not only condemns this a crime, but calls attention to the fact that the Panama Canal could never have been dug but for the employment of Negroes from Jamaica and the other West India Islands. The distinguished educator shows that he is taking an active interest in what is transpiring. We beg leave though to call attention to the fact that political power or is necessary to secure an adjustment of those conditions. In the Southland, the colourful people have been told to eschew politics, to invest in business and to to back to the farm. This advice was all right in a way all wrong in either way for the loss of political power has brought about the sacrifice of material interests. In this country of politics, it is absolutely essential to have political rights and to exercise them in order to protect property rights. Protects by the mouth will do good, but protects with the tailbill will do much more good. Every representative who supported the ratacious measure should do unto private life and remain there. It is indeed unfortunate that we are not able to place in the best statesmen who can face above petty prejudices and be supported by the people, who sent them there. Dr Rooker T. Washington is all right in this position he has taken and the indications are that he will be all right in many others in the future. THAT IMMIGRATION BILL. Senator James A. Reed of Kansas City, Missouri has a unique distinction of having offered an amendment to the immigration bill providing for the barring from entrance of all persons of African descent or of the black race Senator Williams of Mississippi gave as his reason for supporting the amendment that there were enough Negroes in this country already. The astounding part about that matter is that Senators Borah, Polindexter, Sterling, Sutherland and Works voted in favor of the amendment and these five senators were elected to the United States Senate as republicans. They show plainly their antipathy to colored people. On the other hand Sonntra Hurche Lane, Lewis Pomerene, Robinson Shafroth and Thomas, Democrats voted against it. It shows that you can no longer determine a statesman's pos- tion upon the race question by his political affiliations. We would soon vote for any one of these seven Democrats than for any one of these five Republicans. We met Sonatar Sutherland several years ago in Sait Lake City, Utah and we are, sur- pired at his attitude. The immigration bill was passed after this amendment had been adopted by vote of 25 to 29. But what about international complications in a result of this vote? These West Indian colored people are subjects of Great Britain and as such are entitled to free admission into this country. France has citizens of African descent and they are subject to like consideration. This country has made representations to Russia on account of the refusal of that country to recognize the American government of citizenship of Jewish decent and now by vote of the upper chamber of the American congress it proceeds to practice the very discrimination that it has condemned in another. It is announced that President Wilson will veto the immigration bill should these restrictions be passed by the lower branch of congress. Let us hope that he may do so. Conditions now are puzzling and critical. "The practicing of 'peanut politics' is every where in evidence. The penalty for all of this is war. Europe is now being drenched in blood as a result of the duplicity of its statesmen and the United States is marching boldly to the front in search of a similar experience. May God help the nation. MORE RACE PREJUDICE. It is no longer a question of race prejudice in the Southland. It has spread to the North with increasing virulence and the trouble about it is that these northerners are constantly making a "mess of the whole business." The following telegraphs report explains itself. Millwaukee, Wisc. January 5. Negro boxers will be permitted to engage in contests with each other before batting clubs in Wisconsin, but no boxing whites and negro contestants will be allowed, the boxing commission ruled to delay. The ruling regards a former order forbidding boxers between negro This reads like Louisiana Colonies, can only box colored men. This race prejudice is largely due to the Négré haitian address of Senator Bert R. Tillman and Thomas Dixon, added and abetted by the dissolute insulting crap-shooting Negroes, who can now be found in nearly every section of this broad country of ours. They are a hendrance and a curse. It may be that some times, the thrifty, industrious, will to colored man of the Southland will use the necessity of organizing a person for the dissimilation of information concerning the progress and upheld habits of the west-colored people. Philanthropists in the North are grateful hundreds of thousands of dollars to change these conditions to educating the colored people and their wonders colored people, identified as examples of the kind that need just this kind of training. When colored people learn to imitate the Roman Catholics and other progressive denominations to the extent of caring for and tearing the children of the race, then we shall have started to change these unpleasant conditions at the root, where only the positive work of reconciliation can be accomplished. It is a fact that we are standing in our own sun blue and we do not seem to know it. The dissolute colored people, both male and female, burrowed of whom have North Africa to embrace, the worthy colored people who have come in the same direction, are doing no injury than all of the Tillmans and Dissous in this country. Dr. Washington is aware the only colored bearer, who can secure a hearing now upon those all important topics and it is to be hoped that he will proceed to counteract the effect of this constant eruption of the dissolute colored elements against us.

Germans Gain in Warsaw Region and Cross the Pilica River—Russians Swarm Into Hungary. The correspondent of the Berlin paper, Zeitung Am Mittag, at Austrian headquarters, in a dispatch says the Russians are conducting a series of violent frontal attacks on the Austrian positions along the Danube river to the cast of Cracow, and are bending every effort to push toward the fortress, which has been their goal for two months. All these attacks the correspondent adds, had been practised with heavy losses, owing to the excellence of the Austrian positions. The capture of Borgfjow, in Poland, on the road to Warsaw, is deemed highly important, according to the press bureau. In this connection it says: "The position is described as合围ing a wide sweep of the surrounding country, and the possession thereof greatly to infiltrate the German advancement, Warsaw." The Local Anselm's military cor- respondent recalls. It is probable that the Germans will succeed in breaking through the lines here unless the Russians forecast this by a great retreat. Announcement is made in Berlin that the portion of Russian Polish occupied by the Germans has been pro- vided with a well administration under Herr von Brandenburg. Germans Are on Offensive In East. The Germans are made on the offensive along this whole front, but the Russians are occupying positions of great strength and reports recently from the front state that the German attacks are being repelled at all points where their successful advances would prove a message to the Russians. At some point, the Germans have succeeded in capturing a few of the Russian troops, only to lose them in counter attacks by the forces of Grand Duke Nicholas. The only place where the Germans have succeeded in holding captured ground is about Holtown, where they have take part of the town of Borkmow. The Russians still hold their trenches on the western outskirts of Borkmow and are making night and day attacks to drive the Germans back. The Germans suffered heavy losses in their capture of Borkmow, and it is believed that they will be unable to hold the ground they have won. At points along the Pillon river the German, by the side of their sands of men, have succeeded in crossing the stream. Russians Swarm Hungary.

NEGRO LEADER SAYS NEXT WHITE WILL BE DARK AGAINST WHITE Washington, Jan. 1. --- The prediction that the next great war of the world will be between the white and dark races, and that it will be beaten by the action of the Senate is adopting an amendment to the Immigration bill excluding from entrance into the United State members of the "african or negro black race" was made to-day by the Rev. J. Milton Waldron, a leader of the negro race. Dr. Waloron is pastor of Shiloh Baptist Church and member of the advisory council of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. He was former president of the Washington branch of the association. He was a member of President Wilson's inauguration committee. Japan will lead in the war on the side of the darker races, in the opinion of Dr. Waldron. The action of the Senate has a storm of protest among the leaders of the negroes. Preparations were being made to day to carry the fight to the House. Protest by the thousands will be sent in from the branches of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the National Equal Rights Association and church boards throughout the country. The leaders of the Negroes, however, do not expect to defeat the amendment. They admit that the House probably will follow the example of the Senate and adopt it. "The adoption of this amendment will work to the disadvantage of the government," said Dr. Waldron. "The darker races of the world are getting together—they are being driven together by the unfair treatment accorded them by the white races. The British Government is already having trouble because the darker race under her rule have been getting together—more secretly than openly—and effecting an organization. "It will be the next great war of the world." The white people, with less than one-fourth of the population, cannot destroy the rest of the world. After this legislation is passed affecting the negroes, the next to be taken will be the Japanese. And when the great war of races comes Japan will lead the darker races. "We think the action of the Sage unfurrection from a religious standpoint. The American people claim to be Christians, and this fact has helped in Christianizing the dark races. This act is unchristian. I am sorry to confess I was a member of the immigration committee at President Wilson's inauguration." Liesburg (Va.) Notes. Sunday 22th, Mrs. Mary B.

One of Fatalities Resulted Seven Months After Bite of Mad-bog. Richmond, Va. December 30, 1914 —(Special). Lack of attention to the blits of animals not known to be suffering from hydrophobia have recently been responsible for two more deaths in Virginia, according to a statement of the State Board of Health issued today. In one of the cases reported to the board, a boy was bitten more than seven months ago by a vicious dog which had shown no signs of hydrophobia. The dog was killed but was not examined for evidence of the disease. The wagud which the boy had received healed promptly and was forgotten. But a few weeks ago the boy began to feel pain in the muscles of his throat and was sent to a hospital where he developed typical symptoms of rabies and died in anguish after several days of torture. The diagnosis was confirmed by autopsy, which showed the presence of negri-bodies in the brain. In the other case reported to the board, the victim died within little more than a month of the day on which he was bitten and showed all the evidences of rabies. In both these cases are now in this book the anti-rabie treatment at the laboratory of the State Board of Health "These distressing cases," declares the board, in official announcement of the deaths, "go to prove that rabies or hydrophobia is not as some people think a disease of the "dox days." It can be contracted and will develop any season of the year. These cases also demonstrate the great need of a bacteriological examination of the head of every animal diving of the ship that in the stipetate degree suggest reengements have been made with the United States Public Health Service whereby any citizen of Virginia who has such an animal can send the head to the Hygienic Laboratory in Washington, by prepaid express, and can have it examined without cost. If this be done, and if those who have been exposed to infection from the rabid final will take the Pasteur treatant, there is practically no danger. It should be remembered, also that human beings suffering from hydrophobia can communicate the disease to those in close contact with animals, and that the virginia is to be protected from the ravages of this disease and if human lives and valuable stock and domestic animals are to be saved, every suspicious animal must be tied up and its head must be examined if the animal dies of the disease or becomes violous." "Warm" Enough to Supplement Blankets in Cold Weather. Richmond, Va., December 30 1914 (Special). Newspapers, according to the State Board of Health, are useful not only to convey the latest reports from the Year and the Vitalia but also to ward off the cold. The board states that if layers of newspaper are placed between coverlets, they will help to keep in the body warmth and to render the bitterest night of midwinter much more odorable. As much cold often enters a bed through thin mattresses, the board also advises that a layer of newspapers be placed on the bed between the springs and the mattresses.

He said it was well received at the university and was doing much to broaden the views of the students. It is believed that Howard University is the only Negro school that maintains a chapter for the study of this problem. Mr. Foster made many friends for his school, and many of the white students of the convention did not know that there was a large university of the rank of Howard that was maintained for Negroes.

New York January 4. 1915. 2000, men and women rose at the annual Watch Meeting service at St. Marks' M. E. Church last Friday evening, and testified that they would lead a new life for 1915. The great testimonial services came at the end of the strong sermon delivered by Dr. W. H. Brooks, the honored pastor of the church who for eighteen years has led this flock of Methodism. In his Watch Meeting sermon Dr. Brooks told the vast audience to begin to look back over the year and see where you stand. "Once a year" we should take soundings to get an idea of our bearings and prevent ourselves from running into shallow waters. The great ship of the ocean must take these soundings often to sound the depths of the water. Dr. Brooks made a plea that the entire church rededicate itself to its spiritual obligations. He urged wayward young men and women to start the new year by a determined stand for Christ. An overflow meeting was held in the lecture room of the church at which Rev. Gilbert Wilson officiated. A feature of the service was the sinking of many of the old songs known throughout Methodism. The annual collection for the choir was also taken. Sunday morning the annual love-feast service was held. The membership of the church was largely represented. The revival at this old historic church of Methodism had a good beginning, and your correspondent who is closely related to the church has never seen such spiritual awakening as manifested itself at the Watch Meeting service. EMANCIPATION DAY IN THE METROPOLIS The Negroes of this big city did not forget to observe the greatest of all days in the Negro's history that of Emancipation. The principal service was held at the Y. M. C. A. and began Friday January first and ended on Sunday afternoon, January the third. The exercises on Friday were held under the auspices of the Literary society and were participated in by the young men of the city. There was both an afternoon and evening program. The young men to take part, were Alonzo Smith, W. Nathaniel Huggins, Prof. Page Beverly, A. P. Randolph, and Rev. J. H. Ellison. The program reached its climax on Sunday afternoon. The auditorium of the Association was crowded with a large audience of men and women representative of the best people of the race in this city. The hall was specially decorated for the occasion with beautiful American flags. Secretary T. J. Bell of the Association presided. Special music was furnished by a quartet under the direction of Miss Leah Kate Walker. Prof. D. E. Tobias read the Emancipation Proclamation, and a solo was sung by Miss Green. A poem entitled "Fifty-years" and written by Hon. James W. Johnson was read by Cleveland G. Allen, the newpaper correspondent. Alonzo Smith sang a solo. Hon. J. W. Johnson, one of the best informed men of the race and contributing editor of the New York Ago was the principal speaker. He said in part: "The time calls for modern weapons, and a consistent plan of battle. We must make the dominant people and the majority recognize us. It is by the dominant majority that we are to be rocked with." The address of Mr. Johnson was noteworthy for its calm sanity. Those present in talking with your correspondent said the address was the most noteworthy oration ever delivered in the North by a member of the race. The meeting closed with the audience singing America: INTERCOLLEGIATE SOCIALIST CONVENTION HERE During the holidays the Intercollegiate Socialist Society an organization made up of the leading colleges and universities of the country held a three days session in this city beginning December 29th. The organizations maintains chapters in the various colleges for the study of the broader meaning of Socialism. There were over 200 delegates present and 22 universities and colleges were represented. Howard University at Washington was the only Negro school represented at the convention and the delegate from Howard held up the colors of this institution at this brilliant gathering. The delegate from Howard was William M. Foster, a senior at the college who was elected by his chapter to represent the institution at this convention. Mr. Foster made an interesting report in which he told how Howard was studying the problems of socialism. He said it was well received at the university and was doing much to broaden the views of the students. It is believed that Howard University is the only Negro school that maintains a chapter for the study of this problem. Mr. Foster made many friends for his school, and many of the white students of the convention did not know that there was a large university of the rank of Howard that was maintained for Negroes. CONDITIONS STILL RAD ON SOUTHERN ROADS Mrs. Henry Allen accompanied by has little son Henry Allen Jr. passed through this city last week on a route to her home Stamford, Conn. Mrs. Allen was returning from a trip South in points in North Carolina where she had gone to spend the holidays with relatives and friends from her former home. She stated that conditions were still bad on the Southern Rail-Roads and while going South she was subjected to many indignities on account of poor accommodations offered by the roads to colored passengers. She said that men and women were compelled to use the same lavatories, which is almost unbearable for a decent and self respecting woman of the race. She stated that it was very humiliating for respectable women to have to travel over the Southern roads, because of the poor accommodation and provision made for colored passengers. Mrs. Allen is the wife of Henry Allen formerly of this city, but who now resides in Stamford. Your correspondent will call the Rail-Road's attention to those conditions as reported by Mrs. Allen. S.

Miss Hattie McDaniels is spending a few weeks at her home in Itaqua, N. Y. Miss McDaniels is former student of Cornell University. The citizens of the Metropolis are looking forward with much delight to the coming of Mrs. Lella Walker of Indianapolis to this city. She will be a worthy addition to the business and cultural success to the race in this section. Your correspondent was much impressed with Mrs. Walker when she was on her last visit to this city. She spoke at a meeting at St. Marks' M. E. Church which was arranged by your correspondent. 'A meeting of the campaign workers of the Y. M. C. A. and W. C. A. Association will be held on Thursday evening. The call is being issued by J. H. E. Elmendorf the campaign secretary. Prof. H. A. Hunt of the Fort Valley High and Industrial School is in the city.

The rigid winter has not reached this city yet. With the exceptions of a few light snows the weather has remained ideal for this season.

This concert is one of the musical festivals of the seasons, and attracts wide attention on the part of the music lovers of the city. The program is made up entirely of Negro music.

Washington, Pa., Jan. 2.—Because they failed to receive invitations to a New Year party given by John Swift at his home, near here, John and Lazarus Schnutzler, brothers, are said to have gone to the scene of the festival, beaten Swift to desist in his own yard, made a vicious assault on his brother Michael and injured Charles King, a guest, so seriously that he may die. After committing the crime the Schnutzler brothers fled and so far have succeeded in eluding a pose of state police, which joined forces with County Detective William McCleary and his deputies. According to the police authorities of Atlantic City, N. J., Nettle Salines, an Assyrian, thirty-two years old, who has been taken into custody, confessed that she caused the death of her husband, Alexander Salines, by putting poison in his food on Dec. 20, to collect insurance of $1000 he had recently taken out. The woman was held without bail to await the action of the grand jury. The coroner of Atlantic county said he by investigating, into the circumstances of the death of the woman's former husband, who died about two years WANTS TO FIND THEM.
