VOLUME XXXII, NO. 24 DAY OF RECKONING The legislative history of two years of Democratic rule was completed March 4. Those two years have been marked by one of the most active periods of law making this country has ever seen. With a House ready and able to execute his decrees down to the last word, and with a working majority in the Senate, President Wilson took the oath of office March 4, 1913. With prophetic eagerness he summoned Congress in extra session a month later. With the exception of six weeks of respite last fall the party machinery has been in operation ever since, grinding out experimental laws that affect every phase of our social and commercial life. What does a study of that record show? It discloses the fact that during that time the Democratic Congress has enacted and the Democratic President has signed more crude, imperfect and nagatory laws than ever were written during the same length of time by any American Congress. It furnishes an indictment of haste and lack of legislative intelligence that is bound to be humiliating to the party responsible. That there has been a tremendous quantity of legislation cannot be denied. More than four hundred public laws have been placed upon the statute books by the Democrats since they came into power. These are designated "public" because they appropriate money for general purpose or affect general law. In addition to these, hundreds of private bills have been passed. Those who have closely observed the methods of legislation used by the Democratic majority are not surprised at the faulty results. The present administration has been admittedly notable, even notorious, for its steam roller short cuts in enacting laws. Every important bill passed has been put through with small consideration beyond that of party experience. As soon as the President proposed a law, then the caucus approved it, the majority rushed it through committees and back to the President for his signature—all with as little debate as possible, and under iron clad special rules that permitted no chance for intelligent consideration or amendment. It is conceivable that a few bills might be put through a legislative body in this way and emerge in perfect form. But to use such methods indiscriminately, as the Democratic Congress has done, is practically to insure the enactment of laws which future Congresses must either repeal or spend many weeks to amend. This is the task which Democratic hate and hustle use of a powerful majority has created for future Congresses. Specific examples of blundering will not be enumerated in this article. It is enough at present to make the general statement that the Democratic party has "sown a wind of legislation and is reaping a whirlwind of mistakes." Future articles will appear that will show in detail the various instances of blundering, careless crafting of bills that finally went on the statute books without correction.

Walker, the nineteen-year-old daughter of Lewis Walker, of 1219 East Broad street, was drowned yesterday afternoon about 2:30 o'clock in the James River near Drewry's Bluff, while attempting to save the life of Mrs. L. A. Kendler, of South Richmond, another member of the party of young women who left Richmond yesterday morning for a day of recreation on the river. Miss Walker lost her footing and slipped back into deep water, and drowned after having pulled her companion to safety. Her body was not recovered until nearly two hours later. It was finally located about 4 o'clock by County Officer J. T. Taylor, of Chossetter county, assisted by J. K. Reed, and others, who were summoned to the scene by members of the party. The party of which Miss Walker was a member left Richmond yesterday morning for Drewry's Bluff on the 11 o'clock Petersburg car. The young girls and women were chaperoned by Mrs. M. A. Holt, of 206 East Thirteenth street, South Richmond. Her two daughters, Miss Nollie and D里斯, Miss Beesle Nelson, of 421 North Thirteenth street, Miss Hibernia Snood, Miss Walker and Mrs. Kendler made up the party of seven. LUNCHED ON RIVER BANK They arrived at Drewry's Bluff in time, for lunch and this was spread on the river bank. After the meal some of the party began fishing while others went in bathing. None of the party could swim and they were wading about in the water. Mrs. Kendler found an old boat on the bank and pushing this out into the stream she jumped into it and began paddling about. The dilapidated affair soon commenced to leak, however. Mrs. Kendler, thoughtlessly, allowed the boat to get out too far into the stream, before she noticed her companions that the boat was leaking so badly. As soon as she realized the situation, however, she screamed to those on the bank for help and at once commenced to paddling close to shore as fast as she was able with a make-shift paddle that she had picked up on the bank. CRAFT CAPSIZES Just before she was able to reach water that was not over her depth the clumsy affair capsized throwing her out into the stream. She went down with a scream for help. Miss Walker was standing in the water close in shore when the boat overturned and she at once dashed out into the stream towards her friend. Just as Mrs. Kendler was going down for the second time, Miss Walker, while standing in water within an inch of her month, managed to grab her by the hair and pull her in. One or two of the girls came to Miss Walker's assistance and Mrs. Kendler was pulled out. While engaged in saving the life of her friend, Miss Walker lost her feeding and slipped back into deep water after another of the girls had grabbed Mrs. Kendler from her hands, as they passed her on in shore. GOTO TO HER DEATH Within full sight of her horrified companion Mike Walker went forth. Both they that she came up for the door of the subway on there the door of the street by the side. But no one of them could hear her cry. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, MAY 8, 1915 not be reached, and she went down for the third and last time, probably not over three-feet from water not over her depth. The surviving members of her party rushed to a nearby country home for help and many residents of Drewry's Bluff were soon upon the scene diving for Miss Walker's body. It was recovered after about an hour's work by County Officer Taylor, and taken ashore.—Virginian, May 6, 1915.

COLES PLEADS GUILTY COLES PLEADS GUILTY To Be Electrocuted June 4th. Boydton, Va., April 30.—Tom Cole, negro murderer and rapist was tried here today in the Circuit Court for Mocklenburg county, Judge W. R. Barksdale, presiding. The accused was duly indicted by the grand jury, which met here to day, on charge of having assaulted Miss Georgia Royster, of Buffalo Junction, and also on charge of having murdered a Negro girl in this county in January. While there were two separate indictments against him he was only tried for the assault. Whebrought into court the accused was asked if he desired counsel and he replied in the affirmative, and the court, accordingly appointed counsel to represent him. When arranged the prisoner plead guilty to the charge and the Commonwealth's attorney proceeded to introduce his evidence in support of the charge, which was of the clearest sort. The first witness, a colored man, testified to having seen Tom Cole pursuing the young woman and the rest of the witnesses testified to the fact that Tom Cole had voluntarily confessed the whole transaction to them en route to Petersburg, subsequent to his removal from Mocklenburg county by Sheriff W. R. Beales. The defendant introduced no witnesses at all, and his only request of the court; when it passed sentence upon him, was that he would like for his electrocution to be earlier than the court had named if possible. The sentence of the court was that he should be electrocuted on June 4, 1915. Four squads of soldiers and the Mecklenburg guards are here to prevent any trouble that might arise. Your correspondent is very glad to be able to state that the trial proceeded in a very quiet and orderly manner, and while there was a large crowd here on account of the trial, there has been no demonstration of any character whatever that would tend to show violent purposes. Cole will be carried back to Petersburg toight on special car, accompanied by the Petersburg Grays, who escorted the prisoner from Petersburg this morning.

"Is that a higher powered boat than, excus?" "Don't know nothing about her, sir." "She's pulling away from us slightly," growled Baird. "But you can take it from me, master, that she won't pull so far away that we can't tell where and when she's going to land. I got plenty of oil," said the engineer. "Well, keep her right where she is and duck for shore when they do," commanded Hunt. "They're making for the Jarney shore a few points. I guess she goes about twenty-three. It'll take her an hour to take us entirely. "Since we can't overhaul her, keeping her in sight is the next best thing," he replied. "I hunt. 'Think of filling a water bottle with diamonds and accidentally dropping it overboard into the hands of confederates!' Some hold that mankindle has got.

I can just see that man Bruce's face. And, hang it, I know there are diamonds in that bag and yet I couldn't prove it in court. They'll probably take them all out before we can land on them. I whist you'd kick me when we get ashore. Why didn't I draw my revolver and cover them while I picked up the bag? "Search me," said Raited, smiling "Now, don't get a grouch before dinner. At least we got Zudorn out of their clutches, and that's worth a bag of diamonds any day in the week." "And poor Storm went to the same hat and never smiled a rat.

Du Val were both made prizes, but evidently madame escaped days ago. 'Pasullar, hub!' "Could you arrest her?" "Not on the deal. Oh, they're alipvery citizens. They don't like the turnips out of the pot until they are cooked. Still gaining on us. Well, we'll have to take our chinneys on land. I'll do the work. You stay by the boat. I don't propose to walk back to Jersey City. We wouldn't get into New York until midnight. Ha! There they go! Jersey where it is, engineer. If you go across Jolie you can cut down a bit of their gain." In the other boat they seemed to be enjoying the voyage. "Right from under Hunts' nose. That's what please me," said Bruce. THE MISSING MEN OF THE WORLD The Two Smugglers Went Directly to the Kitchen. The Two Smugglers Went Directly to the Kitchen. "Ike, when we land you slip behind the warehouse. Gyp and I will scoot for the old house on the hill. If one alone follows, let him be, but if the two of them start on the trail man 'em up a hit. We've got to get them stones out of the water bottle in a hurry." "Any gun play?" asked the man called like. "Not if you can avoid it." said Bruce. "Make that landing by the old sailboat engineer." They had six minutes' lead when they handed. Ike slipped behind the warehouse, while Bruce and Gyp ran toward the road. Through his field shoes Hugh watched them, carefully setting the direction of their flight. But in his engagements he did not notice that only two men came into frame. The minute the boat made a landing he jumped out and began running toward the spot where he had seen the two men lost. Baird occupied himself with the painter. The engineer knelt before his cylinders and hunted for a possible bit of damage. The man Ike thought that he might just as well dispose of Baird. In that event the detective would be between two fires, and they might be able to put him out of his misery. Baird was in the act of tying the painter when He struck him a violent but fortunately a glancing blow on the head. Baird stumbled and fell, and like drew his knife with murderous intentions. But Baird turned in time, caught the wrist and fought savagely for all that his head was ringing like discordant chimes. He succeeded in making his assailant drop the knife; then he stepped back and began to spar. As like stooped to recover the knife Baird caught him fairly on the chin. Baird did not wait to learn whether the man was senseless or not. He took to his heels, confident that Hunt would presently have urgent need of him. Hunt was a famous runner, and he reached the house on the hill just as Bruce and Gyp entered it. The two smugglers went directly to the kitchen. Bruce dropped the water bottle on the deal table, unscrewed the top and dumped out the diamonds. Hunt saw this obliquely through the kitchen window. He now wished he'd brought Haird along with him. And Baird had lost his way. Neither Hunt nor the men he was pursuing were anywhere in sight. Baird swore and began rubbing the side of his head, which ached painfully. Where the dope had Hunt gone? Meantime Ike recovered. Instead of attempting to follow Baird he staged off to the first telephone he could find and called Radcliffe, who, he was sure, had arrived at Mine. Du Vak's by this time. Radcliffe had his hands full of documents, most of them rightfully belonging to Zudora, when the telephone rang. "It's like," he said to madame. "He says he needs us. Here, put those papers in your hand bag. We'll go right to Storm's office first. You'll know what to say." Storm, having left Zodora safely at home with Mrs. Ramsey, had returned to his office. He was vastly surprised to see Mine. DVal enter, but he managed to form his features into grayness. He was curious to learn what the woman wanted. He dismissed his typist, who, making a pretence of leaving the room, stole behind a screen. Mine. DVal was heavier, but L She Wanted Advice About Some Papers. Storm readily discovered her identity. What did the woman want? She wanted advice about some papers. When she brought them out of her hand bag Storm felt a flurry of excitement. But they were only some insurance papers regarding madame's property. Storm managed to read them ever carefully. He returned them with the remark that they were perfectly in good order. He named a nominal fee for his investigation. It was paid and Mime. Du Val left the office. "Well, hang me, if that isn't a funny game. What the dickens can she want? Or was she just getting the lay of the office for some future work?" As he could not solve the enigma, he went back to his own work. Bedroom would be along presently. On going out of the office medica had set the latch so that it would close but not lock the door. When she saw Indora' coming in at the entrance of the building she hid herself and followed the girl back upstairs. The tryst was leaving. Indora ran into the office, throw her arms around John's neck and hugged him. "And to, think this morning I was a prisoner, wanting to die and be free of all. Oh, I've gone through so much that I never want to hear the word adventure again." "And I don't blame you." Mine. Du Val store in notoriously and tipped behind the screen. "Do you believe that Mine. Du Val was really made a prisoner too?" "Temporarily, yes. But it all looks a bit baby to me. Here's the postman. Let's see what he brings." He opened up the letters one by one. "Why, here's a letter from that man Marvell Wilson, who is managing your mum in Montana." "Read it." "I failed in my best effort to deliver to you some valuable papers concerning your late father's estate. I am now sending them by shipment and sent them "What you, honesty?" "Nanen! Injury!" "Well, nothing less than a stupid dim night will match up a presure that. I can take one of you, girl, and we'll have our honeymoon in the West Indies somewhere. Now, let's get out of this study old office. Keep alive. Come on." When they were gone Mme. Du Val slipped out from behind the screen and stood listening intently. When she was assured that there was no possible chance of the two lovers returning she walked over to Storm's desk and finally tried to open some of the drawers. So they were beginning to suspect her! She smiled. They could not find the least proof in the world. And, more than this, in the end they would surely be beaten in trying to recover the property. But in some manner the must get hold of those papers the man Villiers was sending from Montana. To return to Hunt. He could hear a word or two from the men, but nothing THE Johne, 171 marry you inside of three months. Gennite. But he saw them put the diamonds back into the water bottle. Then they drew out of the range of his vision. What now? he wondered. Bruce opened up a plank in the floor and hid the bug. Then he and Gyp left the kitchen. Hunt came down from the porch, waited until Bruce and Gyp left the house, then crawled in at the window. He saw the loose plank and straightway investigated. He chuckled. Here were the goods, all right. He was surely a lucky man, and Bruce was becoming a careless one. A fine day's work; Zudora freed and the amused diamonds under his vest. As he came out of the house he capted Baird hot-footing it up the path. "Hello! Where did you come from?" cried Hunt. "Got lost. Saw Bruce and his man leaving and concluded that they had done for you," answered Baird, rather breathlessly. "Not so you'd notice it. Jim, I've got the diamonds." "By George, that's great work! Suppose we hike after Mr. Bruce and nail him while the nailing's good." "My idea." They ran down the path to the road, but the ranch had disappeared. They hunted thoroughly, but for a long time failed to make any headway. "They'll be around the boat landing. Hustle." Near the dock where they had landed was an old steamer. They arrived ```markdown ``` She Tried to Open Some of the Drawers. In time to see two men enter the pilot house, evidently to hide. The two set of in pursuit. From the pilothouse came Ike, who peeled upon Baird's back and downed him. Bruce and Gyp came to the soundrel's aid, and they had Baird trussed up like a Christmas fowl in no time. On the opposite side Reddicite ran full tilt into Hunt, who wasn't importing him. Reddicite struck first, and Hunt crumpled up on the deck. Reddicite costly crumpled him, found the water bottle with the disinfectant and contained that his pursuer on the same was no longer necessary. He had migrated back to town. They tried to leave in the ploughing. THE WORLD'S FINEST MUSEUM Radoliffe Cooley Searched Him. Nero knew his business, all right. Burn 'em up when you don't like 'em says he." Baldr struggled. Gyp, the gun man, lit a cigarette and carelessly tossed the match into the excelsior. At this moment Hunt came to his senses. He reached for the water bottle. It was gone. Then he sought his automatic. That was gone also. He got up. Three to one. He realised that he must go quickly for help. The motorbottle engineer would help. Ike and Gyp had no real intention of setting fire to the old steamer. They had made the threat merely to add a little more torture to their victim's predicament. But excelsior is very荧燠able.

Hunt dashed to the landing and was speeding toward the motorboat when he saw a policeman. "Officer, quick! That steamer is on fire and there's a man tied up in the pilothouse!" It was about the nearest squeeze Jim Haird, alias Hannam Am I, over had. He was badly burned about the hands and throat. "Hunt, I'm going to run those fellows down if it takes ten years of my life," he declared, as the policeman and Hunt assisted him into the motorboat. "I know the whole bunch now." "So do I, Jim.

GIRL AIDS SUICIDE Innocently Pulls Ribbon Tied to Pie Solidly Jinds, Marla Cost tol Hid Under Man's Coat. Arthur Heath Cowl, of New York, a grandson of George A. Hearn, dry goods merchant; died in a hospital in Bridgeport, Conn., from a bullet wound in his head. According to the tale told to the police by his supposed fiancee, Miss Family Wheeler, who played an innocent part in his death, Cowl, who was twenty-two years old, came from New York and went at once to the residence of Arthur de Foreat Wheeler, in Strafford. He spent the evening with Miss Wheeler. He gave her an engagement ring, but before she could say anything he handed her the end of a ribbon. The other end of the ribbon was attached to the trigger of a revolver which Cowl had concealed under his coat. I Miss Wheeler asked what the ribbon was for and Cowl replied that it was a "surprise." At his urgent request she pulled the ribbon, which caused the revolver to explode and the bullet crashed into Cowl's brain. Miss Wheeler was overcome by the tragedy, but she later summoned help and Cowl was taken to the hospital. Cowl had recently returned from a trip to Bermuda, where he went to recuperate from a nervous breakdown. 1000 CANADIANS CAPTURED 60 Officers and 1000 Men Killed or Wounded in Big Battle. In the official statement that was given out by the German general army headquarters in Berlin it was announced that more than 1000 Canadians had been captured in the fighting around Ypres, Belgium. Canadian Casualties Heavy. That the Canadian division was hotly engaged on Thursday, Friday and Saturday last is indicated by a list of 60 casualties among officers alone—21 killed and 59 wounded. The list is incomplete, as there are no artillery officers mentioned, though a battery of Canadian six-inch guns was taken by the German and later recaptured. It is believed that when the list of casualties among the non-commissioned officers and men is received the three days' fighting will show more than a thousand Canadians killed and wounded. A. Hopeless Case. Jake Gymp, who was notoriously bad pay, took advantage of a new storekeeper in the town and managed to get a dollars' worth of horse feed on credit. Finally, when the money was not forthcoming, the storekeeper set out to collect. "I came to see you about that dollar for horse feed," said he, approaching Jake in a field some distance from the house. "Do you think you can pay me today?" "How's that?" returned Jake, putting a hand to his car and speaking in a highly pitched voice. "What did you pay?" "I said," returned the storekeeper, going close and shouting like a glee club, "that it's time you paid me that dollar." "Can't bear a word you say," declared Jake. "You'll have ter speak up a bit longer." "Just wait a minute," cried the storekeeper, feeling in his pocket for a lead pencil. "I will write it down." "Tain't no use, mister," returned Jakie, with a hopeless shake of his head. "Can't see to read without my space." Philadelphia Telegraph. He Was Believed.

LAURA AND PETRARCH: The Poet's Ideal and a Bod Case of Hopeless Love. Petrarch was one of the unfortunate poet lovers. One day in the Church of St. Clair, in Avignon, he met Mme. de Saade, better known as "Laura," a delightful blond, whose soft, dark eyes contrasted strangely, yet coquettishly, with the pale golden hair that rippled in ringlets over her white forehead. This dainty dame was of noble birth, enjoyed a high social standing and was considered the belle of the entire sunny south of those days. The Italian poet fell helplessly and hopelessly in love with the French beauty. He wrote in his honor knifes of sonnets fall of the choicest tenderness, in which he described his sweetheart's mental and physical charms, and vowed that never lived a fighter woman than she. Yet she was educate to his suit, though she confessed herself pleased with his society. She was by nature fond of admiration, and she felt proud of the fact that she had won the devotion of one of the greatest poets of the age. Whenever the preeminent, whether in the parks or streets, she heard the gentle monarch as she paused. "There goes the beloved of Petrarch."

THINK ACTION IS OMNIOUS Believed to Be Preliminary to Announcement of Important Decision by Italian Government. The Italian ambassadors at Paris, London, Vienna and Berlin have been summoned to Rome to confer with Foreign Minister Sonnino. In Rome this action is regarded as preliminary to the announcement of a grave and important decision by the Italian government. Signor Tittoni, the ambassador to France, reached Rome Tuesday evening. He left Rome only a fortnight ago for Paris. Marchese Carlotti, the ambassador to Petrograd, will not come back, because of the distance and the difficulties of travel under the present conditions, but a messenger has been sent him with instructions. Austria, it is believed, has close to 12,000 troops in Trentino, 4000 at Bavareto, 1000 at Riva and 15,000 distributed at other points along the frontier, while 5000 German reinforcements are expected. These troops are faced by a considerable portion of the Italian army. The Austrians hold the upper ground, and are reported as fortifying strongly, mounting heavy guns and teering down all buildings in the line of a possible fire. Austria Has Italy's Final Demand. The final demands of the Italian government were communicated to Vienna, accompanied by a communication from Prince von Buelow, which strongly recommend that Austria code the Trentino and Riven Issoon, which in principle already has been agreed to. It is hoped to solve other grave difficulties by secret treaty. EDITOR IN POSSE SHOT Man Wanted on Old Charge Rallies Family to Aid. James L. Berkibile, who is the editor of a newspaper in Ebenensburg, Pa., was shot and seriously wounded when a pose of which he was a member attempted to arrest Wayne Ohsell at his home in the mountains, not far from the Clearfield county line. Ohsell, who was wanted on an old charge, summoned members of his family to his assistance when the pose appeared, and in the battle that followed many shots were exchanged. Ohsell and two of his sisters were arrested and the pose continued its search for Lee Ohsell, the father, who, the county detectives said, died into the woods. THREE STRUCK BY LIGHTNING Morris G.

KANGERS LOSESES ARE HEAVY The Allied Airmen Bombard Eight Tewns—French Recapture Aleatian Height Lost a Few Hours. No attempt whatever is made in London to minimize the importance of the German operations in Flanders, which have been declared to be at least an ample revenge for the British victory last month at Neuve Chapelle. A Belgian report indicates that the German contention that their advance was made over a front extending from Ypres to Dixmude was accurate. The following report from Field Marshal Sir John French, commander of the British forces at the front, was given out: "Monday all German attacks north-east of Ypres were repulsed. In the afternoon our troops took the offensive and made progress near St Julien and to the west of that place. "The French co-operated on our left, and further to the north they retook Het Sas. "In the course of Monday's fighting our artillery took full advantage of several opportunities for inflicting severe casualties on the enemy. "On the remainder of the front there is nothing to report. In addition to the destruction of Central Junction, our airmen bombarded successfully stations and junctions at the following places: Tourcoing, Roubalk, Ingelmuster, Staden, Langemark, Belt and Roulers." The victory of the Germans at Hartmans-Wellerkopf, in Alsace, was short lived, as the official statement given out by the French war office shown: "There is nothing to add to our communication except that we consolidated our positions and continue to make progress to the north of Ypres and also on the heights of the Menna." "This summit of Hartmanns-Welierkopf, which was taken from us Monday morning, was recaptured by our troops the evening of the same day. We also took some prisoners." The latest official German communication claimed the recapture of Lizerae from the French, but the Belgian report, made subsequently, asserts that possession of the town was won for the second time, and that the French were greatly assisted in the 50 cents.

Its importance is due to the fact that its possession would give the Germans an important hold on the big canal and would compel the allies to readjust their line. A strong German offensive is under way also at St. Mihiel. Thus the two points where the German offensive ceased before Christmas—on the Year and at St. Mihiel—have been chosen for the resumption of activities in the spring. It remains to be seen, however, whether these points have been selected an feints while the main onslaught is made elsewhere. The following is the Belgian official report: "Our infantry repelled three attacks made south of Dixmude by the Germans, who again are using asphyxating games. The Germans sustained heavy losses. "Along our front the artillery of the enemy has shown a certain amount of activity. Our artillery replied with success, and by a strong fire proved of useful help to the French. These troops made an attack on Lizerne, which Sunday fell into the hands of the enemy, but which was wrested from them again."

Martha Schultz, the fifteen-year-old daughter of a well to do farmer, was attacked by two masked women near a coke plant in the outskirts of Connellsville, Pa. One of the women held Miss Schultz while the other pressed on each cheek the uncorked neck of a bottle filled with acid. Her face was badly burned and she was then permitted to go. Several weeks ago Miss Schultz received a letter ordering her to place $1000 and a gold watch in a secluded spot. She ignored the letter. Woman Killis Herself. Mrs. Sarah G. Mahoney, thirty-six years old, the daughter of Judge Thomas S. Miller, of Elkton, Md., and the wife of Joseph B. Mahoney, committed suicide on Friday at her home at Union. Mrs. Mahoney had been in ill health for a number of weeks. She took a revolver, walked out into the back yard and fired a bullet into her head. A widower and four small children survive hor. Tallied Englishmen. Natives of southern Arabia believed that Christians wore hats only to hide their horns. Formally the continent of Europe clung to the conviction that the Englishman's nether garments concealed a tail. So late as the reign of Edward VI., according to Rale, "an Englishman cannot travail in another land by way of merchandise or any other, honest occupyings, but it is most continuously thrown into his notice that all Englishmen have nails." The belief probably arises from the legend of the "Kentish Lenglands." The people of either Ontario or Stirling (for the legend various) methoded as best so he rode by on an anvil and cut off the nail.

Fine Tailoring Cleaning, Dyeing and Repairing CHITMAN M. WHITE Prepistar Published every Saturday by John Mitchell, Jr. at 811 N. 6th St., Richmond, Va. JOHN MITCHELL, JR.——EDITOR All communications intended for publication should be sent so as to reach us by Wednesday. Entered at the Post Office at Richmond, Va., as around clear matter. SATURDAY, MAY 9TH, 1915 Marriage is not exactly a failure, but it is mighty uncomfortable sometimes. Some people are always happy, and some people are well nigh always miserable. God has promised us Heaven, but there are mighty few of us who want to go there now. People do quickly three days and medical skill seems to be at its wits end when it comes to saving them. When you are worried, think about something pleasant and your worries will start to disappearing. People who do not tell the truth at all times, cannot be believed when they tell the truth sometimes. The colored Democrats have gotten so tired of standing up waiting for President Wilson to call them in to the "ple-counter" that most of them are sitting down. We have received an invitation to the annual commencement of the Richmond Hospital at the Tufted street Bethel A. M. E. Church. Friday, May 14th at S. P. M. We have learned with regret of the death of Dr. W. H. Money, of Morrillon. He was the only brother of Rev. Dr. E. C. Morris, of Helena, Ark. The distingished theologian and the family of the deceased have our sympathy. We have received Pamphlet No. 3 of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace embracing the signatures, ratification, adhesions and reservations to the conventions and Declarations of the First and Second Hague Peace Conference. --- The effort to increase the number of white voters on the poll-books of this city was not exactly satisfactory. Less than half of the citizens entitled to vote can exercise the right of suffrage. We are now living under a minority government. Colton Theodore Roosevelt is "having the time of his life" at Syracuse on the witness stand. It will be a sad time for him though when he hears the other folks testify and will not be permitted to say a word in reply to them. --- Some people think that Colonel Roosevelt will again be a candidate for President. He might, but he would necessarily, be required to run on his own ticket. When it comes to boasting, he is the king of bosses. Now they say that Bishop Alexander Walters and Hon. William H. Lewis went to the White House at Washington to find if President Woodrow Wilson approved of the films, "The Birth of a Nation." They were told that he did not do anything of the kind although he had seen them. In this respect, Mr. Lewis and Mr. William Monroe Trotter are "palling together." How long this will last, dependent may it not. They send Bishop William Monroe Trotter to many districts for meetings in Philadelphia. That is another task on the agenda. was not believed that Trotter would assault anybody bat: Dr. Booker T. Washington. Those Boston people have an eye to business. Sifter Trotter has been, travelling all over the country for several months making money and the Boston people have found out a way to make him spend it. The present administration must necessarily confront its promise to reduce the high cost of living. It was charged that the tariff was responsible for this and the tariff has been reduced. That President Woodrow Wilson has stirred the country from centre to circumference and that he and his party colleagues have put more theoretical legislation upon the statute books than has been placed there in a generation, must be admitted. The effect has been the opposite of that expected. Business has not rallied to any appreciable extent. The improvement that has taken en place has been only temporary and, the sluggish conditions, previously noted have again obtained. Idle people, who want work and idle people, who do not want work are now singing their disconsolate songs throughout the land. In the midst of all of this, President Wilson insists that prosperity is here and that an empty dinner pail is full if the workingman can be made to believe it even though it will not appease hunger for him as to believe. THE SEXGRATIGATIONISTS AND THEIR MEETING The Negro-haters are still active. They held a meeting last week in the auditorium of John Marshall High School for the purpose of employing counsel, to prosecute Rev E M. Mitchell, pastor of the Leigh street M. E. Church and the trustees of that body when the cases are called in the Hustings Court of this city on an appeal from the decision of Justice Wilbur J. Griggs wherein he fined each one of them $25.00 for occupying their own church edifice. It will be interesting to see just what Judge D. C. Richardson and Commonwealth's Attorney Minotree Fowkes will do with this case. Both of them are high standing. Virginians and they stand for right and justice in high and low places. Personally these citizens have committed no crime. They have not violated any of the laws of the Commonwealth. According to the decision of the Magistrate, they are liable to incarceration in the City Jail along with the ordinary criminals, although they are engaged in the work of unjustifying this class of people. These conditions as they exist are the logical result of the retirement of colored people from polities. No class of people would have dared to have demanded such drastic discrimination against another class of people, if it were possible for them to be reached by the vote of freemen. To awaken sympathy is a task by a long route. To secure justice is an expensive proposition in the courts. God will bring all things right in His own time and the practice of injustice upon the black man must necessarily lead to the exercise of the same punishment upon the white citizen. We are of the opinion though that a wolf will be found in the higher tribunal without further expense to these colored church-folks, who already have been harrassed and annoyed and who are now heavily in debt to the white people, who hold a mortgage upon this church property. Plainly speaking, should they be "robbed of their birthright," so to speak, the white people, who are now holding the church debt, will continue to hold it and the property, if finally sold at all again will be at a loss to white people as well as to colored people, while no good will be accomplished by the white people responsible for the threatened disaster. Thus it is that the interests of the white folks and the colored folks are so intertwined and combined, that what injuries one will ultimately result in the hurt of the other. Wy, had intended before this JIO continue the analysis of City Attorney H. R. Pollard's reply brief in the investigation case now pending before the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia. The assertions of this distinguished attorney are, to say the least, surprising. He said: "In the Eleanor Case, suprx, the learned judge (Harrison) delivering the opinion of the court at page 51, speaking of the extent of the petition, ques. the court was entitled in this case to deny that fifty years ago. Eleanor, Harrison, it, v. Domen, 18, Court (N.Y.) 187, in this case. Clinton, Harrison, it, v. Domen, 18, Court (N.Y.) 187, in this case. "Nothing is better settled than that wherever an ordinance is passed in assurance of a 'specific power' that the courts are powerless to set it inside on the ground of unreasonableness, and that it can only be declared invalid when it violates some State or Federal constitutional inhibition." If any one can tell us what basis of comparison there can be between a licensed cook shop and a lawful place of habitation, we shall be thankful for the information. This case occurred more than fifty years ago, before the passage and ratification of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution of the United States. We are led to believe that in his ardor our distinguished friend imagined that he was living during that period. But even at that time the Circuit Court of Virginia accorded more rights to that free Negro in the midst of slavery than the City Council and its representatives are willing to accord to the free Negroes of this city in the midst of freedom. But even the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia in delivering the opinion of reversal nullified the claim of the segregationists of today by declaring that if such an ordinance was in conflict with either the State or Federal constitutions, it was null and void. We cannot understand why Mr. Pollard cited the case in question, for it upholds the position of the appellants in the Mary S. Hopkins case. He said further: "The courts," says Keith, President in Danville v. Hatcher, 401 Va. at page 529, "have nothing to do with the question whether or not the legislation, contained in its provisions is wise and proper. The only question they have to deal with is one of power."******* If the statute, the validity of which is attacked, is not in conflict with the State or Federal Constitution the courts have no power to declare that power well satisfied they may be that it is unwise or vicious legislation. "And at pages 530-531, the following language is used: "In the absence of constitutional restrictions it is competent for the Legislature to confer its police power upon municipal corporations in such measure as it deems expedient. It cannot, of course, bestow greater power than the State itself possesses; and it must keep within the limitations, subject to the restraints, it is within the province of the Legislature to invest such corporations with the police power of the State in whole or in part. "The language in which the grant of power is couched in this case is unmattakable, and too plain to admit of elucidation. It leaves it absolutely within the control of the Council to determine whether they wholly or partially accept the privileges ject to such restrictions as they may see fit to impose. "Within the sphere of their delegated powers, municipal corporations have as absolute control as the General Assembly would have if it had never delegated such powers and exercised them by its own enactments, with the rest of the one than the other. To permit such interference would be to deny the existence of a discretionary power, and transfer its exercise from one co-ordinate branch of the government to another." It seems to us that this part of the City Attorney's argument could have been cited by the attorneys for the appellant in support of the position that the City Council had exceeded its power. The segregation ordinance is in conflict with the State and Federal Constitution and any furthered power can be made to see it. For the information of Mr. Fulhard and his association, we call his attention to the fact that living in each own house is a constitutional right and not a legal privilege. He said. of the state of Delaware was the sole authority that the police upon that matter should be a suppression of the noise with retribution by those residents in fully violated by the state law on March 2, 1912, an act of the General Assembly of Virginia was approved, providing for the designation by cities and towns of segregated districts for residences of white and colored persons. (Acts 1912, p. 330). Mr. Pollard uses the above language after having just cited from Danville v. Hatcher 101 Va., page 529, in which President Keith said: "In the absence of constitutional restrictions it is competent for the legislature to confer its police power upon municipal corporations in such measure as it deems expedient. It cannot of course, bestow greater power than the State itself possesses, and it must keep within the limitations, if any, imposed by the organic law." When the Legislature of Virginia passed the special act cited from Acts 1912, p.330, did it do this? Did it pass an act in contravention of the State and Federal Constitutions? We have cited the sections from the Constitution and so have the lawyers. City Attorney Pollard then questioned the authority of the Supreme Court of Appeals of Vigginnia. Here is what he said: "Reading the ordinance in question in connection with the act of the General Assembly on the same subject, we submit that the court in the case at bar is without authority to inquire into the reasonableness of the ordinance. Leaving the Supreme Court judges in apparent disgust, he appeals therefrom to a writer on Municipal Ordinances. He said: "But waiving for the sake of the argument that this contention cannot be sustained, we, in the next place submit: Second. That the ordinance in question is reasonable in its terms. Mr. McQuillin in his work on Municipal Ordinances in Sec. 432 in discussing the exercise of the implied powers of municipal corporations, says: "The Legislature may determine the exigency, that is the occasion for the exercise of the police power, but the judiciary determines what are the subjects and objects upon which the power is to be exercised and the reason, ability of that exercise." "With the latter clause of this enactment we are concerned under this rule." "Further on in the same section Mr. McQuillin says: "LAWS, whatever may be the intent of the framers, which authorize the confiscation of private property for the more protection of private rights will be condemned as unconstitutional."** But it is universally admitted that however broadly these constitutional principles may be expressed in the states, in every government, the power to impose restrictions upon individual life, liberty and property, which it is not within the meaning and intent of such provisions to prohibit or restrain. So universal and long continued has been this construction of constitutional inhibitions against governmental deprivation of life, liberty and property of citizens that it may now be considered as written in every constitution. The same author at Section 186, save: "It has been well said that the legal rule that by laws must be reasonable is perhaps as definite as it can be made with safety.**** It must appear from the inherent character of the act or by evidence of the operation of the ordinance, that it is unreasonable.**** The ordinance must be reasonable applied to the particular subject-matter. Judicial authority to declare an act is generally recognized by the court, be cause it is unreasonable. The rule is generally recognized that municipal corporations are prima facie the sole judges respecting the necessity and reasonableness of their ordinances, and hence the legal presumption in their favor, unless the contrary appears on their face or is established by proper evidence.**** In questions of doubt the courts are inclined to defer to the discretion and judgment of the municipal authorities. To arrive at a correct decision, the court must be able or not, regard must be had to its object and necessity. Minute regulations are required in a great city which would be abundant in the country. Likewise a reasonable regulation, intended to operate in a densely populated part of a city, might be unreasonable as applied to parts of the same city sparsely populated. Therefore, all of the surrounding conditions must be carefully considered. It is thus manifest that as a rule, the municipal authorities are not required to answer such questions than judicial tribunals. In recognition of this fact, the rule is of universal application that a clear case should be made out to authorize the court to interfere with the exercise of the police powers of a municipal corporation on the ground of unreasonable acts.**** To restrict and to confiscate or to deprive one of the use of, are propositions widely divergent and should form a safe basis for both legal and legislative action. There can be no excuse for barring and preventing a free American citizen from the right to enter his own home. Still this is just what this Richmond, segregation ordinance does. Police power as a plea of justification is necessarily without force and effect. We are not saving only that the ordinance shall be pronounced unreasonable but that it shall be declared unconstitutional. We have no doubt whatever, but that the learned jurists of the Supreme Court will see that the appellants have a clear case. The evidence may not be long delayed, for the questions involved are fundamental. CHRISTENING WAS PRIVATE Mike Agnes Winter, of Philadelphia, is Godmother to Sayre Baby—Plant Tree For Child. In St. John's Episcopal church in Williamsown, Mass, President Wilson became one of the sponsors for his grandson. Rev. J. Franklin, Carter, the pastor of the church, conducted the ceremony, using the regular Episcopal service. Contrary to the expectations of outsiders, the president's grandson was christened Francis Woodrow Sayre. Only the immediate members of the family and a few close friends of the Sayre family attended the baptism. William E. Hoyt, the treasurer of Williams college, and his wife; Dr. Wanpoolord Adriance, the family physician, and his wife were among the first to arrive at the church. Dr. Garfield, president of Williams college, and Mrs. Garfield came with Mrs. Johnson. President Garfield's mother's law. After the arrival of Mrs. Robert H. Sayre, the grandmother of Master Sayre, and John Nevins Sayre, who was to become one of the godfathers, Miss Margaret Wilson and Miss Helen Woodrow Bone walked to the church, accompanied by Dr. Cary T. Grayson, the White House physician. An automobile carried President Wilson and the Sayre family to the scene of the baptism. A cold wind and the harsh damp atmosphere made it necessary for Master Sayre to be bundled up in a blanket, while he was carried to the church in the arms of his father. Only when he was taken from his father's arms in the church did he utter any cry of timidity. President Wilson, John Newton Sayre, the godfathers, and Miss Agnes Winter, of Philadelphia, the godmother of the Sayre baby, responded in unison to the questions of the church ritual. Miles Winter is an old friend of Mrs. Sayre and co-operated with her in settlement work in Philadelphia after her graduation from Gacher college. On Saturday the entire family party, with Dr. Garfield and Mrs. Garfield and Rev. J. F. Carter, gathered on the side-lawn of the Sayre home and planted a small walnut tree presented to Baby Sayre by Mrs. Garfield. It was a happy group and the president joined in the laughter caused when the baby firmly grasped the tree with both hands and tried to take it from his father. It was the first time the president had seen the baby since the child left the White House. As soon as the tree was planted in the ground the president turned a spadeful of earth around its roots, then all present, including Mr. and Mrs. Sayre, followed suit. The baby gurgled delightedly and Mr. Wilson patted him several times on the cheek. Lioness Claws Trainer. George Woolsey, twenty-three years old, an animal trainer with a circus showing in Jersey City, N. J., had an exciting experience with Grace, an enraged lioness, and as a result is in Christ hospital. Woolsey had been through the cages of a number of animals, including those of several lions, and stepped blithely into the cage of Grace. The lioness was ugly from the start and the trainer shouted at her and whacked her with a stick. With a roar she made for him, paws extended and mouth wide open Woolsey put his hippopotamus lit up as severely clawed. He grabs Brougely by the throat, but she bore him back against the bars of the cage. The trainer yelled for help, and two keepers sprang into the cage, while two more stood outside with loaded rifle, ready to shoot. The keepers clubbed the infuriated lioness over the head and paws and fought her back into a corner, while a third man helped Woolsey out. As soon as the men backed away from the animal she sprang at them. Down came two big clubs on the other head, and before she could recover the animal she chest were badly lacerated. Belleva Eagle Lamb Thief. A mountain eagle measuring seven and a half feet from tip to tip of its wings and weighing thirty-five pounds, was shot at Hays. Corners, about twelve miles from Wilkes-Barre, Pa. by Gillie Hay. When brought down it had lamb's wool in its talons, and the raisers in the section are now looking for its nest to verify the theory that it carried off several of the small lamb of their Socks. The farmers say that the eagle was powerful enough to carry off a three-year-old child. It is the first eagle ever shot in the region, according to farmers who have lived in the vicinity all their lives. Wilson to Be Grandfather Again. President Wilson is to become a grandfather again soon. Secretary McLeod being the arrest this time, was generally believed, though the report was condemnable against, at the White House nor the McLeod home. She admitted that she had would make a wish in the appropriate amount in two or three weeks after the apparently urgent part of her work. WILLIAM S.

Augustus Geiger, a prosperous farmer, of Geigertown, near Reading. Pa. met with death by being gored by a vicious young bull. The animal, with three others, had been released from the barnyard to go to the creek for water, and a short time later a daughter of Mr. Geiger found the body of her father close to the fence, horribly mutilated. Both of the arms, his neck and chest, were broken and his clothing was torn into tatters. There were evidences of a furious fight. Gave Birth to Triplets As Mrs. Elizabeth Atridge, thirty-two years of age, was scrubbing the floor at her home in East One Hundred and Eightth street, New York city, a daughter was born to her. An hour later a son arrived. Another hour went by and a second son was born. They were named Margaret, John and Dominick, Jr. Margaret weighed 4 pounds, John 3½ pounds and Dominick 3½ pounds. Traveled For to'Kill Herself Because she could not bear to kill herself at home among those who loved her, Mrs. Beasie Bysfield, of 172 North Illincoln 'northeast', Indianapolis, took a train to New York, went to the Park avenue hotel and committed suicide there by swallowing cyanide of potassium.

GIRL DROWNS UNDER MOTOR Party of Four Hurled Into Thorough fare at Atlantic City. Mistaking Harrisburg avenue for Albany avenue, in Atlantic City, N. J. Charles L. Champion, a garage keeper, of Cape May Court House, ran his big touring car into an eighteen-inch stone coping and over it into the Thoroughfare. Miss Bella James, of Gokhan, N. Y. was drowned. Her body was recovered an hour later. Three other members of the party managed to get clear of the machine and reached the dock. According to the stories told by Champion, H. C. Tyler and Miss Anna Mae Traff, companion of the dead girl, they all left Cape May Court House, intending to go to the circus. As it was raining they decided to abandon the visit to the circus. They went to a Boardwalk cafe for lanchem and about 2 o'clock left for home. Champion said he was not used to the broad leading from Atlantic City, and, becoming confused, drove out Harriburg avenue, just a square below Albany avenue. It is but a short two blocks from Atlantic avenue to the Thoroughfare, and before Champion realized that he had taken the wrong street his motor hit the stone embankment and plunged into the water.

Acquired Policies Harris, Though Court Grant- ed Divorce to Barody; Torrents of controversial dis- cussion, involving questions of pro- cedure and the admissibility of evi- dence animated argument between members of the investigating committee and the attorneys, an accusation that City Attorney Poli- lard was proceeding beyond his province in prosecuting some of the witnesses and defending others, a threat from the City Attorney to withdraw and report to the City Council, and a rebuke administered to Policeman Sweet by Cochilman Migar B. Engish, who complained that Sweet, who was in the witness chair, was imprisonment to him, were some of the more or less spectac- lar incidents that marked the pro- cedures of the Council committee investigating the Police Department last night. The committee sat from 8 o'clock until past midnight then adjourned until one week from next Friday night after adopting a resolution renewing its request on the Vice Commission for the "secret budget." Under this resolution, the Vice Commission is asked to surrender the 500 pages of evidence in its possession, so that it may be exchanged with the City Attorney, and the chairman of the investigating committee, who shall extract from Hoe Board had not faithfully having any bearing upon the official conduct of members of the Police Department. MEREST MENTION IS MADE OF THREE ACCUSED MEN In the seemingly interminable controversy that accompanied the hearing of a few new witnesses and a few others recalled to give testimony in rebuttal the three members of the Police Board who are specifically accused in the Vice Commission's report almost escaped bare mention. Only when the roll of the Board of Police Commissioners and the Commission's connection with certain board meetings did the spectators hear the names of Commissioners Goode, McCarthy and Well. Harry in the session City Attorney Pollard, in the course of a spirited argument over the admissibility of evidence which he presented in an effort to show that the Police Board had not faithfully performed its duty in dealing with the case of Policeman Harris, correspondent in the Baroody divorce case, declared, that it was his intention to show that the members of the board, who tried Harris and refused, to dismiss him from the force in the face of evidence before the board, were guilty of malfa-surance in office. This charge places on the defensive every member of the board except Police Commissioner W. Douglas Gordon, who was prevented by business from attending that particular meeting of the board. Captain George E. Pollock, who was called by the City Attorney to testify from the records as to who were present when the action dropping the Harris case was taken called the names of Commissioners Bradley, Parker, Boykin, Weil, McCarthy, Goode, and Thomas. He said the fact that the record failed to show a recorded vote on the question of dropping the Harris charges indicated that there had been no division all of the commissioners present having evidently voted for the motion to dismiss the allegations on the ground that the charges were not sustained. In support of this specific allegation of malfeasance, which necessarily includes all except Commissioner Gordon, Mr. Pollard filed a number of exhibits in the form of documentary evidence. These exhibits included two ordinances, one of which shows that members of the police board are not members of the force, the Chancery Court record of the divorce case in which Baroody, a Syrian, was granted a decree against his wife on statutory grounds, and records of the Police Board dealing with cases tried by the board. Two women had been summoned at Mr. Polard's request to give testimony relating to the Harris case. By an error, due to a similarity of names, Mise Mary Bell, saleswoman in a Broad street department store, was charged with obstructing the Mary Bell wanted is now in Philadelphia. The City Attorney caused the annulment of the summons as soon as he learned of the mistake from Officer Gerring, who served the paper. THOMAS TELLS WHY KEENGEL WAS REINSTATED. Police Commissioner Thomas, the first witsman in rebellion called to the chair by Mr. Pollard, told of the reenstatement of Detective Krengel, as a member of the police force, and the fames for it. He said Krengel survived him that he had damaged the title and hats, and was acquitted of the crime, but he himself proclaimed the conviction. the other way through. But then he knew he "wanted a chance to marry Bennett." Mr. Bennett was presenting with a memorandum addressed to the Indian Attorney General, Winston deMaso, to know whether the City attorney meant to present some of the officers and defended others. "Because if that is the case," he said, "we ought to have the Commonwealth's Attorney here to take the opposite side when the City Attorney is prosecuting." POBLARD THREATENS TO QUIT COMMITTEE "I think that is a question that should be settled, right here," restored Mr. Pollard with some feeling. "Otherwise I shall withdraw and report to the City Council." Several members of the investigating committee sought to pour oil on the troubled waters. By request Clerk Alfred H. McDowell read the resolution creating the committee to investigate the inactivity of closed that the City Attorney is requested to attend the settings of the investigating committee and aid them in said investigation: "It looks to me," persisted Alderman Workman, "as if Mr. Krengei is being defended by the City Attorney," and Mr. Belton prosecuted, whereas under that resolution these two officers before us should stand on the same footing." Mr. Pollard explained that his purpose was merely to ascertain the nature of the lief or not. What he was doing he was doing for the information of the committee. "I feel that the City Attorney has the full confidence of this whole committee," interjected Chairman Barton H. Grundy. Attorney Scott said: "As the proceedings have progressed, however, we have found the City Attorney always arrayed against our side and contending for the prosecution. His attitude generally has been that I want to know who I am fighting, where I am fighting and where I stand before this committee." The examination of Commissioner Thomas proceeded without further interruption. THOMAS SAYS GALBRAITH COMPLAINED TO HIM Asked by Mr. Pollard whether or not any policeman had ever complained to him about being interfered with. Mr. Thomas replied that it had occurred on one occasion when he met Policeman Gabralth at Grove avenue and Meadow street in the fall of 1915, but Gabralth had called the name of no police commissioner. Witness said he subsequently called the Chief of Police to his office and repeated to Major Werner what Gabralth had said. Mr. Pollard: "Were there two factions in the book at that time?" Commissioner Thomas, well, the one decided difference of opinion at times." Police Commissioner W. H. Parker was called, and Mr. Pollard asked him: "With what faction of the board were you affiliated?" "When I first came on the board I believe I was with Mr. Well's side usually," replied Dr. Parker. He went on to relate that after a certain controversy in the board, the subject of which he could not recall, he walked out with Goode and Thomas, and told Goode that henceforward he intended to vote with Mr. Thomas. Questioned by Chairman Grundy, Dr. Parker explained that he did not mean to admit that at any time he was awayed by Goode. Thomas or any other member. He thought and voted independently. PARKER SAYS HE UNDERSTOOD SECRET CAUCAUSES WERE HELD "Didn't the majority hold caucuces when something was going to be done?" queried Mr. Pollard. "Do you understand," replied Dr. Parker. "Did the majority hold caucuces on the appointments to be made?" "That is what I understood." David Meade White, counsel for the Social Service Federation, asked Dr. Parker if he knew caucuces were held. "I certainly understood it that way. I didn't attend any caucucs." Mr. Pollard: "What was the line of cleavage? What was the political question of an open town or what?" "I can't say. But there was friction." When Dr. Parker left the chair, the City Attorney filed his documentary exhibits in evidence, which led to the discussion of the Harris case. Harris was tried by the Police Board for misconduct with a woman. The charges were not sustained. The woman's husband, F. A. Baroody, pressed the charges. Subsequently he accused his wife for divorce and wo his accession. The City Board conended that the whole board was derelict in failing to get the evidence that was used by Baroody, in the divorce case. Officer W. E. Harris was accused by Baroody in court. After the divorce proceedings Baroody asked the Police Board to reopen the case. BOARD TURNS CARE OVER TO-CHIEF WERNER the board refused, but referred the charges against Harris to Chief Werner. The chief was instructed to look into the matter. Major Werner was recalled, Councilman Seaton asked him why he had made no report to the board on the Harris case. The chief explained that Harris had been tried by the board to investigate further and find out whether Harris connected with the woman in the case. He had never been able to verify that allegation. The chief said he had not seen the affidavit of Mary Belt, stenotomist, employed in the hospital home, who admitted to the diversion stem, for the amount of money he made. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Milagro to fire former questioner Marvice Marvice as a good politician. He had a good record for police work. P. A. Harrody, the injured husband, and Hir, Marble then testified, telling of the scandal that led to the proceedings for divorce. GOLDSBY FINDS OFFICERS IN DISORDERLY HOUSE. Policeman B. T. Goldaby was put on the stand by City Attorney Poliard to relate that he had found several members of the police force in a house near the vaduct on Fifteenth street, one night in 1932. The evidence because the incident anteceded the present terms of the blue-coats. After assortaining that the men accused by Goldaby were not commissioners, the committee voted to exclude the testimony. Goldaby said he had himself reported the house to the chief the next day as a disorderly place. The policemen he saw there told him that they were in charge of a party of strangers seeking expedition. He told that to the Chief, too, said the Chairman. "If that was a disorderly house, why didn't you pull it?" he was asked. "I didn't have any evidence." Alderman Workman: "If Goldsbay reported that house as disorderly and thought it was such a place, he didn't respond." Certainly, "responded Mr. Pollord, to whom the remark was addressed. 'Too ahead and charge him with dereliction of duty.'" SWEET QUESTIONS CHARACTER OF GOOSE THE TENANT Patrolman Harry F. Sweet was recalled. Questioned by Mr. Pollard, he said he had made several arrests in a house on East Main street, the men and women being fined $20 each in Police Court, and he believed Mrs. Woodruff, Commissioner Goode's former tenant, conducted the place, although she did not live, there herself. He thought she had two places. The object of Sweet's recall was obviously to attack the character of the rooming-house over Goode's store. At earlier sessions a good character was English and the City Attorney en proprietress. The guest was satisfying Attorney Smith like him if he had borrowed sums of money from falloonkeepers on his beat, specifying men, named McKinley and Welsmach. Mr. Pollard's protested against bringing in Sweet's financial transactions. A verbal clash between Councilman English and the City Attorney ensued. Finally the question was barred by a vote of the committee. Policeman Sweet, annoyed by the reference to his financial transactions, spooked sharply with Mr. English. English, with warmth that he had given his note when he borrowed money from saloon men on his beat, and that he had paid them 6 per cent for the loans. ENGLISH COMPLAINS OF SWEET'S MANNER. Mr. English complained to Chairman Grundy that the witness was impertinent in his remarks and his manner of addressing himself. "If Mr. Sweet has been impertinent he will, of course, apologize," said the chairman. "I've got nothing to apologize for," retorted Sweet. Mr. English did not insult upon an apology. Clerk McDowell read the answer of the Vice Commission's report to the request made at the preceding meeting for the "secret budget." Rev. F. T. McFadden, D. D., the secretary, explained that a reply had been delayed because Chairman Glake of the Commission was out of the city. The correspondence on the subject between City Attorney Pollard and Dr. McFadden was also read. COMMITTEE RENEWS REQUEST FOR THE "SECRET BUDGET." Murray M. McGuire, counsel for the Vice Commission, then presented a proposition from the Vice Commission to hand over the complete evidence to City Attorney Pollard and Mr. McGuire, they to extract for the information of the investigators what they might consider legal evidence. This proposition was unsatisfactory to all except Councilman English. After an hour's debate on the question the committee voted to renew its request for the "secret budget," voting down a motion offered by Mr. Workman to adjourn until such time as the whole mass of evidence should be handed over to City Attorney Pollard and Official Stenographer John G. Winston. Something New Under the Sun!

Second: Because the Ordinance of the City of Richmond in question is repugnant to the Constitution of the V THE ORDINANCE IS VOID BE- CAUSE IT DELEGATES TO A SINGLE INDIVIDUAL OF EITHER RACE THE RIGHT TO LEGISLATE A VIRGIN SQUARE WHITE OR COORED AD LIBITUM. Section 3rd of the Ordinance pro- vide: "That no person shall construct or locate on any block or square on which there is at the time no residence, any house or other building intended to be used as a residence, without declaring in his application for a permit, whether the house or building so to be construct- ed is designed to be occupied by white or colored people." "The municipality may commit to certain officers the performance of more ministerial functions or judicial functions in the enforcement of its laws, but it cannot delegate the power to make law." Beacon on XIV. Amendment, p. 217. It is in the power of the owner of a City lot, in a virgin square to signify its intention, of improving the color thruof white or colored, to the Building Inspector, thereby destroying the right of the other lot owners who are of a different race from using their own lots for residence purposes. The Supreme Court of the United States has recently hold a Richmond City Ordinance void because it delegated the power to two thirds of the property to a building line to establish a building line without the consent of the other third. Bubank v. City of Richmond. 225 U.S. 137. On squares which are already occupied, the operation of the law is automatic, but not so with squares that have not been built upon. And this express delegation to the individual of the power to legislate a virgin square white or colored when exercised is the usual aggregation of the races, but it is in its mention the setting aside of a square and distinct residential square or squares for white or colored residences. After this has been accomplished automatic aggregation takes place under the terms of the Ordinance, but there is no power in the City to not set aside a separate district to either or both races in the first instance.

Fourth: Because it is repugnant to Article I.

For centuries Japanese weavers in silk have been famed for their equi- quate tapestry work, or textureenablakk, as it is known in the native tongue. Nowhere are more artistic produc- tions wrought, and along certain lines the Japanese workman, with his tiny hand boom, creates a tapestry which no other race has so far equipped. How long Japan has been utilizing the art of weaving pictures from silk and gold in this manner is not unreally known but some of the national specimens of silk brocade are very old, and it is all together like that the art has been known since Johnson's first acquaintance with China in the very remote past.

It is the intimation that I have heard from time to time that this is, first of all, a race war and that it is, in the second place, a struggle to determine whether England or Germany shall rule the world. I do not suppose that any one, who has thought about the matter, believes that it is possible to describe or even suggest, in any single phrase, all the motives that have gone into this mighty struggle. At any rate, I think it is safe to say that, back of all other causes, there is the ambition to be first, to be the leading power in the world. The nations do not desire to destroy each other, because each is necessary to the other, and the world would certainly be poorer, from every point of view, if either, Germany, France, England, or Russia should suddenly drop out of it. What each belligerent desires, apparently, is not to destroy, but to cripple the other, to get its opponent at a disadvantage so that he will be compelled to accept a subordinate position. There is behind this war, in other words, the desire on the one hand to obtain a position of superiority, and, on the other, the fear that a superior position will be lost. And so important and necessary to the happiness of races and of nations is this superiority that in order to maintain it they are willing to sacrifice their own best blood and all the property which they have accumulated with so much pains and so much effort, and at the same time they are eager to destroy their neighbors' property and to kill and maim as many of their young men as is necessary to win. Not only are they willing to inflict and to suger in turn all these cruelties, but like some desperate gambler, they are prepared to risk their own future and their children's future in the chances of what to an outsider seems at best a doubtful victory, because, whoever wins, the masses of the people have to puttle down and live side by side with the memories of all those who have died and those who have suffered and all the bitterness and hatred between them. When I consider the cost of this war; when I think of the blood that has been shed; of the property that has been destroyed and the misery that has been caused—I am sometimes inclined to thank God that I am not a member of a superior race. Rather I am disposed to thank God that I belong to a people that cannot hope and does not desire to prosper at the cost of any other race. There is a certain advantage in belonging to a race that has to make its way peacefully through the world; a race that prosperes if it prosperes at all, because it has made friends rather than enemies of the people by whom it is surrounded. There is a certain satisfaction, also, in belonging to a race whose hope of success in the world consists in making itself useful to the world, and it is not wholly a disadvantage to the Negro that, though he should fight in every war as he has in this, it is not to maintain his own supervirity, but that of some other race, that no fights. These considerations have raised in my mind the question as to what it is, exactly, that we mean when we speak of racial superiority. In particular it has raised the question in regard to the subject races or those occupying second or third place in the world, what should they think and what sort of superiority should they strive for. For example; it is said that the present war brings us one step nearer to a war with Japan, and from now on, perhaps, we shall be watching anxiously and eagerly everything that is said or done by Japan, always with the suspicion that whatever is said or whatever is done it is something to be feared, something to be resisted. But this talked-of war with Japan, it is said again, is merely the beginning of a bigger and more terrible world war which must some day take place between the dark-skinned and the light-skinned races of the earth. It is assumed that the dark-skinned people, who are now classed along with the Slays as inferior peoples, will infiltrify, imitate the example of the superior races; that they will plot and plan and secretly contrive means for overcoming those who stand above them, meanwhile interpreting every action of their rivals in the worst possible light and unconsciously employing every possible means to incite fear and hate, so that at last when their hour finally strikes, the lesser peoples will be ready and willing to rise up and throw off the protection which the stronger races have imposed upon them. In that case the fear and hate which they have cherished secretly in their hearts will give them courage to be as ruthless in their rebellion as the superior races are likely to be in suppressing it. And they will do this in order to convince themselves and the rest of the world that they are really not insurrection, but the enemy, if not the suppression of the white races. the less persons in the country are exposed to these persons, the less they are exposed to these persons, and all these persons are even more agitated among white people than among colored. I have the doubt there are many white people to whom this seems a perfectly proper and natural method of procedure. For one thing, the very general belief that it is the natural course to take under the conditions in which the white and dark races now live, As the excuse for the harsh measures that it seems necessary to use now and then to keep the lesser peoples in their lesser places. There is, however, for races and nations, as well as for individuals, more than one way to be superior. One race may, for example, be superior to the other by the simple process of getting on top and holding the other down. It may, however, become superior by learning to do one thing better than any one else in the world. And this may be a very simple thing: it may be raising cotton or it may be writing a book. There is only room for one race, one group, and finally one individual to be superior if superiority consists in holding a place on top with every one else somewhere between that place and the bottom. On the other hand, there is opportunity for almost every one to be superior if superiority consists in performing some kind of useful service in an exceptional manner. Almost every race and almost every individual possesses some gifts that make it or him exceptional. There is almost certain to be some directions in individual or a race may be of greater service than in others. To seek and find that place is to be successful. To fill that place in an exceptional way is to be superior. Therefore, the races, which are down and are soaking to rise should consider this road to superiority. They will make a mistake if they imitate the superior races in the struggle for superiority that is grounded on force and conquest. We should ask each nation that claims to be superior, before we accept it as such and set it up as a model for ourselves, in what precisely its superiority consists. Nations, races, and individuals should not be classed as superior simply, but we should know in what they are superior and then we can determine whether we desire to imitate them. What we should strive to do, to put it simply and squarely, is contribute our part toward bringing into existence a civilization in which superiority is based on a service, and not contribute more than we have to maintain a civilization in which superiority is based on force. We should look forward to a civilization based on racial peace rather than one based on racial war and racial subjugation. Such a conclusion will seem very simple-minded and quite, impractical. To choose such a course would mean that the lesser peoples—in their struggle upward, must be willing to plod painfully, patiently forward, winning their way as they go, proving that in each gain they make for themselves they are at the same time enriching the world at large, that in each step upward they have lifted not merely themselves, but the whole world above them. Perhaps no race or people would choose to advance in this way, unless it was compelled to do so. It is much more thrilling to be able to feel that. Just because you know your own worth better than any one else, you likewise have the courage to make peremptory demands upon the world for what is plainly your due, and then enforce those demands, if necessary, with the shedding of blood. However, it will be a long time before the little brown people of the world will be in a position to enforce their claims in this way. The black people of Africa may never be in that position. Meanwhile it is well to remember a very large part of the actual progress of the world in the past has been made by the farmer and the mechanic, those who roar and those who build, rather than by the soldier with his implements of destruction. Thrift, industry, and patience are still the staples of human progress, and the peculiarity about them is this, that, while they may belong separately to individuals or races, they are counted as part of the 'common capital' because while they make no man's life poorer they make the whole world richer. Not only has this been so in the past, but I believe it is going to be true in an increasing degree in the future. It is part of the task of civilization to do away with war; it is also a part of the task of civilization to do away with agitations that lead to war, agitations directed against persons and races; agitations that distort facts and provoke prejudice; agitations that emphasize only the points at which there is conflict and minimize the points at which there is co-operation. Superiority in the future will depend more upon excellence in some service for the common good and less upon success on the field of battle. I look forward to a time when no individual and no race will be considered superior to another merely because, being on top, he or it is able to hold that other race or other individual down.

[Prepared by the United States department of agriculture.] That many insect pests are protected during the winter by useless vegetation along country roadsides and that the insects may be destroyed and the undergrowth may be turned into valuable, mutton and wool are facts not generally realized by farmers. The department of agriculture's specialist in charge of cereal and forage insect investigations recommends the pasturing of a flock of sheep in these places during the winter months as a most valuable measure for destroying great numbers of insects that might later in the spring spread to and breed in adjoining fields of grain. Where weeds are outside of a fence or where no crop is growing in the field pasturing sheep in summer will, of course, keep down the full crop of insect harboring vegetation. The amount of land covered by useless matted vegetation growing along ditch banks, fences and roads is of no small extent in America. This land, as A Raleigh sign or Vale. A file, except in limited cases, of the flagell in Florida building, much of the common flag given thinking to work buildings to always be gone in barn and survey to protect the Vale. A GOOD AFTERNOON PAPER THE COLORED PEOPLE Mulch of dead grass which accumulates beneath from year to year and forms an ideal refuge for all manner of pests. A small flock of sheep, given the range of fields and roads at this season of the year and where there are no growing crops, will dispose of nearly all useless vegetation. Only a little grain need be added to fatten them. If the farmer does not wish to keep the sheep permanently he may often purchase "feeders" in carload lots at the large stockyards when they are just in condition to be fattened and later dispose of them. Over the prairie country sheep will eat off grass and shoots of larger brush and plants, leaving the ground so bare of protection that insects either will not congregate there or gain protection there after the pasturing is done. In the east, where trees, bushes and brambles enter into consideration, if this brush is cleaned off in spring the sheep will in late fall dispose of the young growth that may push up through the summer. By herding the sheep along the roadsides and properly shifting them about according to condition in the fields all of this waste ground can be made to yield a return to the owner and incidentally add to the value of the farm. On account of their light weight sheep can be pastured in fields when the ground would be too wet for heavier animals. Their small feet, entomologists find, are also more effectual in destroying insects on the surface of the ground than the hoofs of larger animals. The list of dangerous pests that winter along neglected roadside margins is long and formidable. The chinch bug, the spring grain aphis, or "green bug," and the clover and alfalfa seed chalice fly have all been found by investigators wintering in great numbers in such undergrowth. Under certain favorable conditions in the fall the Hesian fly also breeds freely in quack grass, and in Canada one specialist has traced the western grass stem saw fly directly from this grass to the wheat fields. This saw fly does considerable damage to wheat in the Dakota. Young stalk borers (Papapema nitsa) were noticed in very young oats as early as 1884 by the department's specialist, under conditions indicating that the parent moths had spent the winter in the matted grass along the border of the fields. The department's investigator has successfully put the winter sheep grazing plan into practice with some three miles of roadside and even more of fence margins. Many successful farmers have also tried it with profit, but they have not always realised that in addition to the destruction of the grass vegetation they were destroying forest posts that would have become positively dangerous later on.

LOOKS FISHY (Charlotte townville, Va., Messenger). Jack Johnson, the erst while pugilistic champion and speed flend is at last down and out. He met his Water, loot at Havana, Cuba, Monday of this week. His conquerer was Jes Willard, the herculean cow boy who but recently made his debut upon the pugilistic arena. On reading the reports of the fight by rounds one is forced to the conclusion that this much touted fight was one of the tastest and least interesting of any big fight in the history of the game. Like all of Jack's records his final passing looks a little fishy. It may have been a frame up and then again it may be that the best man won. But whether the fight was on the square or not is of little importance. The main thing is that this very objectionable character is removed from the limelight. Since his memorable victory over Jim Jeffries his whole career has been nothing but a clog and a hindrance to his race. 12 Post Cards 15C AN Negro Subjects One hand colored.

ALL ARE CONVICTED The Forgudon Jackson - Kaizer case came to an end yesterday afternoon when Police Justice Griggs rendered a decision which practically held all of the parties involved guilty of the charges against them. J. H. Forgudon was fined $100 and costs. Mrs. Virginia Kaiser was placed under $300 security for six months, but this was decreased to $150 security by the justice, with the provision that she leave the city at once. The woman refused to accept the offer of her mother to provide the security, and went to jail. Christine Jackson was ordered sent to the Spring street Home, and Janie Jackson was turned over to the authorities of the Juvenile Protective Association. So after two months of continued hearings, the case has been closed. Ferguson was charged with subjecting Janie Jackson to vicious and immoral influences, and was arrested by Detective Sergeants Wiltshire and Balley in a room which he admitted having rented for the girl. In the room at the time were the three sisters. Ferguson charged that the affair was a "frame-up" against him, and that Mrs. Kaiser had attempted to extort $800 from him under penalty of charging him with contributing to the delinquency of her sister. The man said that the women summoned the police when he refused to pay the money. Justice Griggs, in no uncertain terms, made known his opinion of the case when he rendered his decision yesterday. "I have given this case careful consideration," said the Police Justice, "and I wish to remark right here that Ferguson has allowed himself to be brought into a very embarrassing situation. He made a mistake and he has broken the law. I fine him the sum of $100 and costs. As for Mrs. Kaiser, we have no place in Richmond for such undesirable as she. I place her under $300 security for six months." The justice then rendered his decision as to the disposition of the two younger girls. Ferguson left the bar and joined his lawyer. Attorney Louis O. Wendenburg, while they discussed the advisability of an appeal. The attorney had already noted an appeal, but inter, after his wife had come from the anteroom and joined the group. Ferguson informed Justice Griggs that he would pay the fine. He gave a check for the sum and left the court room with his wife. In a corner of the room, back near the prisoner's cage, Mrs. Kaiser, Christine and Janie Jackson joined their mother, an elderly woman, attired in black. There were no tears on the mother's face; she manifested little emotion then or during the ensuing scene, when Mrs. Kaiser was practically dragged away to fall by a police officer. Christine was the only one of the trio to break down when sentence was pronounced. But later, when it came time for the parting, when Mrs. Kaiser was taken from the room to the waiting patrol wagon, and representatives of the two homes were awaiting the girls, all three of them wept. Mrs. Kaiser was the more self-possessed, but the two younger girls sobbed bitterly for minutes after their sister had disappeared. Effort was made at several times by both parties to introduce several notes which were said to have been passed between them. Ferguson showed the notes about the courtroom after the conclusion of the trial and seemed to feel that they were conclusive of his innocence. Mrs. Kalser appeared, to be well satisfied with the result of the case, and said that she cared little what was done with her as long as Ferguson had been proven guilty.—Richmond, Va., Times-Dispatch, May 4th, 1915. REINDEER INDUSTRY "In 20 years the reindeer industry has made the Eskimos of Alaska civilized and thrifty men," says the United States Bureau of Education in a bulletin just issued. The reindeer industry began in Alaska in 1892 when the Bureau of Education imported from Siberia 171 reindeer. The object of the importation, according to the bulletin, was to furnish a source of supply for food and clothing to the Eskimos in the vicinity of Bering Strait. This importation was continued until 1902, a total of 1,250 reindeer were brought from Siberia. There are now 47,266 reindeer distributed among 62 herds, and 38,522 of these are owned by the natives. This industry has given to the Alaska Riparian not only food and clothing, but it means of transportation superior to dog traps. Instead of being a somnile hunter sitting out a previous existence on the vast uninhabited lands of the Arctic, the ripe region has become an ideal habitat. They have incurred support and en portunity to acquire wealth by the sale of meat and skins to the white men." The reindeer industry is carefully guarded. "No native is permitted to sell or otherwise dispose of a female reindeer to any person other than a native of Alaska." This is done, the bulletin states, "less white men deprive the natives of their reindeer and destroy this great native industry which the Bureau of Education has in the last 20 years built up and fostered." The reindeer service is an integral part of the educational system of the Bureau of Education for northern and western Alaska. The district superintendents of schools are also superintendents of the reindeer service. Promising and ambitious young natives are selected by superintendent as apprentices in the reindeer service receiving 6, 8 or 10 reindeer at the close of the first, second and third years respectively, and 10 more at the close of the fourth year. Upon the satisfactory termination of his apprenticeship, the native becomes a herder and assumes entire charge of a herd. SOUTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY RICHMOND, Va., Apr. 9, 1915.
