Smith, Jr., Conducts the Defense--Hon. L. O. Wendenberg a Silent Observer--Talk about Laying Evidence Before Grand Jury--No Excitement When Decision was Rendered. VOLUME XXXII, NO. 35 RUSS Justice Jol From Hon. H. M. Smith berg a Silent Gran Justice John J. Crutchfield, after an investigation lasting about three hours Wednesday, July 14, 1915, dismissed the case of the Commonwealth against Russell E. T. Walker, who killed his father, Sunday night, June 20, 1915. There was some talk about submitting the evidence to the grand jury, but whether or not this will be a reality remains to be seen. Detective-Sergeant Wiltshire and Bailey claimed that they can only work when they receive the proper support from the legal machinery. Detective Wiltshire was outspoken in saying that he was still of the opinion that it was not an accident. Other officers were non-committal. Hon. H. M. Smith, Jr. was jubilant. Police Justice John J. Crutchfield convened his court last Wednesday morning, at 0:30 o'clock with a large crowd present. His Honor announced that the Walker case would be postponed until 11 o'clock as he would in a probability be through with the regular docket by that time. Mrs. Maggie L. Walker was present early, as was also Russell E. T. Walker and their friends. ATTORNEY WENDENBERG IN THE CASE. With the announcement there was a general withdrawal of witnesses from the court-room. The feature was the appearance of Hon. L. O. Wenderberg on the side of the prosecution. He was in close consultation with Detective-Sergeant Wiltshire who in conjunction with Detective-Sergeant Bailey has been the leading figure in the search for evidence. It had been reported that he would appear and then again that he would not appear. It had been rumored too that he had been invited to associate with Hon. H. M. Smith, Jr. and Attorney J. Thomas Hewin in the defense of Russell E. T. Walker. WITNESSES CHEERFUL Ower in the Capitol Square, Attorney J. R. Pollard was later seen in the midst of a group of witnesses. The balmy air was in striking contrast to the atmosphere of the Police Court room. Commonwealth Attorney Mintree Folkes, attired in a palm beach suit was passing to and fro in the Police Court. There were several felony cases up for a hearing and this accounted for his activity. Hon. H. M. Smith, Jr. appeared and in reply to the query of Police Justice Crutchfield announced that he was ready to proceed. COUNSEL IN EVIDENCE The array behind the bar consisted of Hon. L. O. Wendenborg, Hon. Minotree Folkes, Attorney J. R. Pollard, Hon. H. M. Smith, Jr., Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, Attorney J. Thomas Hewin. Attorney J. E. Byrd, while not in the case sat at the bar. "Look at the gallery," remarked a reporter. He referred to the window where a solid mass of humanity preceded against the railing in order to get a look at the inside of the court room. Russell E. T. Walker sat behind his mother, instead of at the bar next to counsel as is the usual rule. CORONER TAYLOR TESTIFIES Justice Crutchfield read the charge who Coroner Wm. H. Taylor took the stand. Mrs Commonwealth's Attorney Folkes con- clusted the investigation for the prosec- tion. The coroner said: 'In new Arnalpstead Walker at about pho- tology of night on the 20th of June, was found quite an entourage at the and centre at 110 R. Leigh St. I found some Armistead Walker lying on the back porch upstairs with his head towards the east. I found a wound made by a bullet, which had entered about here. We afterwards made an autopsy and found that the hall had nearly passed through the skull. I made the autopsy with Dr. White conducting the same with me. We found a contusion on the back of his head, which indicated a bruise. I attributed that to a blow received in falling. FIRED AT A DISTANCE. I saw no powder marks, which indicated that the firing must have been made at a considerable distance. It was impossible to tell how far off it was when the pistol was fired. It must have been some four or five feet when the pistol was fired. I found that the shooting must have taken place some 10 or 12 feet from the body. I infer that from the fact that as you go upstairs, you come to a fly-screen door. The bullet must have been fired through that screen. As you go further there is a sun screen and the shot went through those two. The coroner lifted his hand to show how the screen and the sun screen were located. Commonwealth's Attorney called the Coroner's attention to the fact that they were not doors, but a sun screen. It occurred at about $2.20 as well as we could figure it out. "What kind of a night was it?" asked Justice Crutchfield. "Was the moon shining?" Mr. Smith: "That would not have affected it at that time." The body when I saw it was lying with the feet towards the slat screen. The pistol was a .38 calibre and the bullet taken from the head corresponded with the calibre of the pistol as far as we could determine. Walker was set down at 52 years of age. He lived at 110 E. Leigh St. with his wife and 2 sons and Russell was the one who did the firing. MUCH EXCITEMENT THERE I questioned Russell and he told me that he got the pistol from his father's drawer. I don't recall just what room in which he got it. There was much excitement. There were some policemen there when I arrived. I do not know who they were. I think they were two officers. Sergeant Wiltshire arrived afterwards. Everybody was acting independently. I do not remember Russell making any other statement. He talked with me considerably, but I do not remember just what he said. I heard that the origin of the affair was that a burglar had visited the house the preceding night. He did take me down stairs and told me about a man crossing the two houses. He was very much upset. Yes, he did tell me about a man going from one house to the other. HAD TO STRIKE MATCHES Mr. Smith: You were told when you got here you had to strike matches to see on the back porch? Coroner Taylor: Yes, it was very dark when I got there. Mr. Smith then conducted the cross-examination. He endeavored to show that the sun screen served to cut off the light. Coroner Taylor said in brief, as far as he could judge, the shooting had all the evidence of being a chance shot such as a man would have taken at a robber. My impression was that he saw the clothes of a man, he was dressed in white clothing. He had on a white shirt. His shirt could have been yisible poking out. I don't think that he could have been able to tell who it was. It is supposable that he might have dodged behind the screen. Complaint had been made the preceding night about the presence of a burglar. Dr. H. L. Harris, Jr. telephoned to him to come quickly. There was something peculiar about the case and to come quickly. There has been some criticism of the family for mind. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JULY 17, 1915 ing for a lawyer. There was no dis position to conceal anything. DETECTIVE SERGEANT WILTSHIRT TESTIFIES Detective Sergeant J. L. Wiltshire testified as follows: I arrived at Armistead Walker's residence between 9 and 10 o'clock. I found 3 police officers, Mr. Harris, Mr. Clark and Mr. Wills. The house was filled. Mr. Smith was not there when I got there. I talked with the police a minute or two. The Coroner talked with Russell. He said he was standing on the street and thought he saw a man cross between the two houses and that he ran upstairs to this drawer, where his father kept the platoi and he got it. I went upstairs to see Mrs. Walker. Dr. Hughes had gone up, too. From the information I received from Mrs. Walker, her husband and son had both borne guns. (Ruled out, both sides objecting.) COULD SEE PLAINLY I went back upstairs to the hall. I did not go on the back porch. So far as the light was concerned, you could see anybody and anything. Walker was lying down there. He had on a white shirt and a bow tie and black pants. The light was some distance back in the hall. You could see a man's body. You could not see his head. I asked the youngest son, if he were the son of this man and I asked him why he did not place a sheet over him (Objections made and sustained.) Attorney Smith suggested that he look at the diagram which he had drawn for the benefit of Justice Crutchfield. "The place where the man is lying is correct," said the detective, "but where the screen here is drawn is not correct. "The screen does not cover the whole end of a porch. A man could stand there and his face be hidden and at of his body visible. If he were shot there his body would have fallen forward and not backward. It is 4 feet. 5 inches from the screen door to the side screen hole. From the hole in the end of the porch to the outside to the hole in the screen door to the furthest point on a line feet, it would be 9 feet. From the floor to the hole in the screen is in 5 feet, 2 inches. The distance from the edge of the screen north end to the bullet hole in the screen has not been taken." Then came the question of distances. A QUESTION OF DISTANCES There were 12 to 14 inches between the end of the porch and the porch and the porch sun screen. A man could stand in that space. I would think that he could have distinguished his father at that time. It is easier to see a person on the porch at that time than one could be seen inside of the house especially when there was no light in the house. I saw the man. I saw him plain eough to see the blood on his face and also bow the tie. In reply to Mr. Smith, he said, "Yes. I can swear that there was no lamp out there when I went there." Dr. Taylor said that he had the lamp when he went out there, but he would not say that a lamp was there all the time. "I made my investigation from the hall. I did not say a word to Russell Walker." Mr. Folkes: Dr. Taylor said that the shooting took place at 8:20. At 8:20 it is not dark. Mr. Hewin: Could a man on the top of Dr. Johnson's house next door get on the back porch of the Walker home without getting behind that screen." A man could not get across from the Johnson house to the Walker house. B. F. TURNER ON THE STAND. Armistead Walker and Russell Walker. I was at the Club, and Jackson Streets on the night of the show. ting. Russell came to the Club. I judged about 8:20. He whispered to me and said he wanted to borrow the place. I said, I don't like to loan pistojo to youngsters. He said father sent after it. They are around there. You can go around there with me. AT THE WALKER HOME I went around there and Mrs. Walker was on the front. She called for Armistead. I asked him if he wanted my pistol. He said he did. I gave Armistead the pistol. I turned so that it wouldn't be seen from the stairs. I went back in the dining room with Mrs. Walker. Shortly after that he REV. J. J. NICKERSON The above is a likeness of the Rev. J. J. Nickerson, pastor of the First Baptist Church, of Williamsburg, Va. who has been called to the First Baptist Church (colored) of Hinton, W. Va.— Rev. Nickerson is considered as one among the best preachers of Virginia. He preached the Missionary Sermon at the Virginia Baptist State Convention, and carried the convention by storm. It seemed that every word was electrifying. He was complimented by all of the great men of the convention. He also preached the Introductory Sermon of the Peninsula Baptist S. S. Convention, on the night of July the 5th and he so convinced and pleased the convention, that after a night's rest and sober thought, the convention voted, the next day, to give him a donation for the effort which was an unusual thing. Go do. Some said that it will never have to do before, but thought that the speaker merited it. After the vote was taken, the Rev. Mr. Nickerson rose and thanked the convention for its kind consideration; but expressed surprise in being thus honored by the convention. The Rev. Mr. Nickerson went to Williamsburg about two years ago and has worked very hard to bring things to pass. He feels that his efforts have been rewarded. Much work has been done and some real progress has been made along all lines. If the man who follows him has a mind to work, he will find much yet to be done and a few faithful and loyal Christians to help him do the Lord's work. The prayer of the outgoing pastor is, that the Lord will watch over and bless the Church, and stand by the man who may follow him. He further pledges to that man, that should he ever visit Williamsburg to see his friends; his attitude and his effort will be to help him in his work, and never to hinder. The First Church, of Hinton, to which he goes, is a great church. LEFT VA. SEMINARY BEQUEST OF $6,000 LEFT VA. SEMINARY BEQUEST OF $6,000 Lynchburg, Va., July 12. The Virginia Theological Seminary and College, an educational institution maintained here by the negro Baptist churches of Virginia, has been notified of a $6,000 bequest for the college which was left recently by a colored woman who died in Boston. The college last session had an enrollment of 50 students and went through the year with a small balance in hand after meeting all obligations. Mr R. Doe Roof, dither, is a representative of The Washington Sun was in the city this week, and called on us. Mr Ernest Brown formerly of New York, spent the Fourth day in the town with relatives and friends. The boys are a very special family in a heart of the Governor's as he was familiarly called he returned home from the 4th. Mr Thomas K. Smith, of South Hotel, Baltimore, and one of the leading colored citizens of Maryland has returned to his home on automobile. A better reception from him states that he was delighted with his visit to Richmond. Mr Adolphus Lewis of Philadelphia representative of the National Baptist Purged Mission Board and Secretary of the Layman Missionary Movement was in the city this week. On last Tuesday might he delivered an illustrated lecture at the Fifth Street Baptist Church it was very convincing and made a great impression for missions. It's a long, long way to Tiffany ary, but what care I? When on the 3rd Monday in June, I can go, with Mt. O to Blackroo. with a great future. They have recently erected a nice parsonage at a cost of $2,500. Took out the hot air furnace and put in a steam heater at a cost of $350 and all is paid for, and the church has a bank account. We predict for such a church, a great future, with such a man as the Rev. Nickerson as pastor. Not forgetting the fact that the man that preceded Rev. Nickerson, in the person of the Rev. A. D. Lewis, is a great man; for it is to him that the credit is due, for the very high stand that this church has taken among other churches. The Rev. Mr. Lewis is an earnest worker and a Christian gentleman, who can demand the best respects of all men. He has done a great work in Hinton. He has pastored this church for ten years. And at the close of his ten years' work, does a thing which is hardly known among Baptist preachers. He resigns, not that he has a better field, or that he hopes to get a better one, but simply felt that he had finished the work that the Lord wanted him to do in that place. And though his congregation loved him, and refused to accept his resignation, he tells them that he, must go, and that the Lord has another leader for them. He is a Moses in spirit. Rev. J. J. Nickerson was very do lightfully surprised on Monday night the 5th inst by a band of ladies who came to do honor to his birthday which was Sunday, July the 4th. The following are the names of those who brought gifts: Mrs. Priscilla Gault, J. B. Harris, Nannie Dove, Janie Segar M. L. Dawson, Francis Crump, Stella Clark, Bessie Durant, Hellen Wilkinson, Rezella Crump, J. Melby, N. E. Fraser, Mrs. Taylor, Sarah Cary, Vivian Cary, Patie Custia, Viola Harris, and Moena, J. W. Wilkinson, Hepkiah Johnson, Eugene Haskins, Mr. Taylor. Many other friends were present and had a pleasant time. Ice cream and coke were served. 7 ANNIVERSARY EXERCISES OF THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH CLIFTON FORGE VA.

On Sunday evening the pastor preached the anniversary sermon of the church. The Monday evening service formed a fitting climax of the occasion. Rev W. T. Johnson, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Richmond Va. preached the pastor's anniversary sermon. Rev Johnson said that the occasion should be one of thanksgiving, and it was. All the citizens of Clifton Forge are proud of the First Baptist Church and its pastor, Dr White.

In that time, all my days, yes, every waking hour, have been devoted to the task of accomplishing your rule. This in the instant of my triumph. I hold you here in the hollow of my hand, with the power and the will to crush you. Well, sir, I open my hand and let you go." An imperious gesture restrained the exclamation that rose to Wainwright's lips. "The explanation of this inconsistency is very simple. It lies in the fact that I am a fool—the greatest fool in all this world of fools. So, because I am such a fool, you are safe from me, Mr. Wainwright—and, always, I wish you good morning." He moved toward the door. But the wife, radiant in an instant, would not have it so. "Anthrew!" she eried. "Oh, thank God—not only for our happiness, but for your sake, too, since love has conquered hate, at last." The Master Mind spoke heavily. "I only know," he said confessedly, "that the most unlikely thing in all the world has impressed. I mean that in the heat of victory my triumph has turned to ashes in my mouth. I only know that, since I cannot crush my enemy alone, I cannot crush him at all. No other could. I think, but you, Lucene, you've hastened me." Lucene spoke very gently. "Then I was right all this time. You did love me, and you do still." Anthrew shook his head dullyfully. "I only know," he said, "that I cannot do you harm." Lincoln made an impulsive step as he to follow him, then checked himself. This man still held in his heart hatred for the husband she loved. "Where will you go, Andrew?" The answer was very gravely, sadly: "I do not know, not only back into the windows where I came." He panned for a little, and added, wistfully: "He happy, Linne, and remember sometimes, if you will that, after all, it was I who brought you your happiness." Then he went quickly from the room, and so out of their lives. But the happiness that had been his gift abode with them always. FROM BAHIA, BRAZIL Bahia, Brazil, Feb. 17, 1915. To The Richmond Planet, Richmond, Va., U. S. A. Dear Editor: I remind only that times are pretty tight here and are growing tighter as the days go by. But it is only what I inform, so let us get our teeth and hold on. Greater things are yet to come, if such is any consolation to your distinguished personage. We just possess our annual feast, "The Carnival," the principal feast of the year. It began Sunday and lasted 3 days, until Tuesday night. The galley display would deceive one as to the hard times. But this only reminds us that latins are a light-hearted bunch. We note with some interest that you good people up there are a bit jealous of the latin American because they seem to have a better insight in international law than your good people "Anglo-Saxons "Americans" and probably for said reason; your wise congress has decided to let no more of them visit your country. That makes interesting reading when we compare it with the Monroe doctrine. But before go too far, may I inform you that on Monday morning of this week one of your good citizens was out taking a bath with another American chum of his when a high wave came along and carried him off. His body has not been covered yet; nor has it been seen. I may remind you that they were two American chauffeur, white, of course; because Negroes never seek employ with decont pay for their young men in strange lands when they are opposed to them aspiring to equal opportunity in their home country! Thus may I call you a people doomed to pick cotton and be lynched, Jimcrowed and generally ostracised! For this let us all take off our hats to Dr. Booker T. Washington, and his inquisitive propaganda! And the rest of you sanctioning him of course; because that he can always get a full hat when he goes out begging, and for that you all are willing to surrender every other right. Nice, indeed this is! But let me back to the subject of latin America. These people can sing and dance under a German bombardment, and they laugh with contempt at your discrimination saying that your time is probably closer at hand than you imagine. When you may want a stricter adherence to the Monroe propaganda. They have never had too much dealing with you and this makes them want less. Your agents (white of course) are growing numerous here hunting trade. But Americanism is far behind Europe, in the commercial line, as well as social etiquette or economics. "They simply put it all over you." that is the way to say it. And the Germans are the fount of all the world. The Americans do the bragging and lynching Europe does the fighting and commercial business. Thus Wake Wake up, America!; there is a war in Burgee!! Now about education. You all must remember that time and scope are too great problems of economics for Negroes, during their educations. The father wants his child to have an idea of as much as possible and in the shortest possible time, and when your son or daughter comes out of school, the next problem is to get employment with the highest possible pay for what he or she can do. Name means nothing if not this. And how can you expect these things when you permit the schools kill your opportunity aforeshand? Education means nothing to one who is not allowed to apply it. And a truly educated man will not submit to a foll willingly. If he falls to speak it is to give the fool a big surprise at another time. A man who knows always feels that he should help to direct matters that pertain to his interest, at least. Or what is the use of so much education if only to raise cotton and pigs; And that in a claustified manner? "We study to do better, not worse. We see where a certain American uncleander states that a certain company's employees "received at the least ($5) five dollars for an eight-hour day's work." I have wondered how many, or what per cent of that company's employees were Negroes? Or if any good race leader had ever made intercession for employment for colored people in the service of that company? This was caused by the publication of Dr. Washington, not so long ago, that the Tuskegeeians averaged about ($2) two dollars or less per day; while all other Negroes put together in American averaged only about 966 per day for their work. And I am willing to say that less than 10 per cent of the Negroes can get off with 8 hours' for a day's work! And do you not think that he ought to hint that you should not be paid more? Just as he gave the hint to Lynch and other misdemeanor including the dishinfranchise, Jim Crowism and finally the expulsion from the large cities and schools. He has another way of summing matters up in a bump to make it sound big to the average Negro, who will not take time to simplify it. Thus you all become hypnotized with a phantom. When he brings you these great figures who don't ask him has he compared your side with the side of the white people, and noted the comparative conditions before coming to you. You should tell Mr. Washington, or any other good gentleman, that you are Americans living in your country and as such cannot wholly separate your life from the other citizens without a great loss' and especially since you are subject to all the common predictees, or incumbrances. Therefore I ask you men where are your common names? Do not be hoof-winked by the title of doctor? You are free men and as such should think and act in self-protection! I have nothing personally against Dr Washington, only I know that he is a fake, and a traitor, and I am not going to let him take all of us in for sockers without a single protector. And for fear that some of you might think that I was being paid or had an axe to grind., I left the country and was ordered back for my health at the risk of my life. But I did not go, yet I am an invalid for about 2 years. I am in pain very moment, but I cannot discover the little colored children most of which are not born, while I can draw breath money. By the estimated health of just one man equally divided every one in America is worth $2,000,000 two million dollars. And the greater part of this is in percentage bearing securities. One cannot dig gold or silver, so we all know Nor would one hold a mass of certificates for dinner when hungry. It is your labor which must redeem these certificates, gold, silver and other gold used material which are growing consumption to your brain, labor, body and soul. And think of the billions of dollars of those bonds being carried into Europe from year to year. They must all be redeemed by American labor, and every certified value authorized by your government cannot be produced on the moment is sensible matter is against your credit, and every person in America who could not hand over (9,000,000) nine million dollars in serviceable substance is a debtor for what they lack of the amount. Because Mr. John D. Rockefeller alone is credited with ($900,000,000) nine hundred million dollars, guaranteed by 100,000,000 souls, which is equal to ($9,000,000) million dollars each, and should he want to leave America and take his wealth this is what you must pay at sight, and can you do it. I, S. MOORE. IS NOT PLANNING REVOLT Discovery of Large Purchase of Arms and War Material Was Beats For Arrest of Former Dictator and General Orcaos. The arrest of General Victoriano Huerta and General Pascal Orcaos, in El Paso, Texas, upon charges of violating the neutrality laws of the United States by attempting to set on foot an armed expedition to enter Mexico, over shadowed all the other developments in the Mexican situation. It has forced the abandonment, at least temporarily, government officials believe, of any movement to launch a new revolutionary movement in Mexico. Huerta was released under 85, 600 ball and Orcaos under 7500. It was learned that the banks of the warment on which the two men were arrested in the discovery of the purchase of a large quantity of was material for a military movement in France. The supplies, which are said to include fourteen matching game, 800 rifles and 100,000 rounds of ammunition, were found by American soldiers in a THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA.

There were a number of Mexicans waiting to see General Huerta, and as time went on others arrived in an almost continuous stream. Little kinds of curious persons gathered. In the streets around Huerta's residence and occasionally was heard a "Virn Huerta!" At the hearing, Cifford Beckham and G. L. Pinkney, representing the government, asked that the bond of each defendant be fixed at $25,000. Mayor Loa, who was attorney for the defendants, offered $12,000 for Huerta and half that amount for Grosso, and the Mexican leaders pledged themselves to appear at the hearing. General Huerta has been under unarmed resistance from the time he left New York, a few days ago, extensively for San Francisco. It was openly announced that he would leave the train and come to El Paso from Newman by motor. A plan by friends to escort him when he arrived brought known crowds to the streets, but the assemblies were broken up when word was spread that he was under arrest. At the home of his daughter, General Huerta talked to newspaper men. "I am on my way to Los Angeles and San Francisco," he said, to what the Pacific coast and, see the Panama-Pacific Exposition. I lived in Oakland about twenty years ago, and have never liked the west coast of the United States since then. Asked if it were true that he was one of the leaders of the new Mexican revolutionary movement, he shook his head and responded: "Absolutely no! I will never meet Mexico at the head of an armed force. I have retired from the field as a soldier unless my country should need my services against a foreign foe. I am anxious to return to Mexico. It is my home. But I will never return until after peace is established. This may take five or six years." "You say you have no intention of entering Mexico in the present revolt; then why did you visit MI Pago?" "I came to visit my son in law and daughter. I think I have a right to do that."

GO TO THE i Industrial Unien 2 lastitute — . , eee --- The Views of Mr. Wu (By Samuel O. Rhythe) From The Saturday Evening Post Mr. Wu met me at the door of his house at Number Three Gloriosa Road, Shilinhal, once after me in early April. I had not worked him for several years, but I had not forgotten his habit of asking questions. He held out his hand and I could see by the twinkle in his eye that he was about to plump some sort of personal interview at me. So I beat him to it. "How do you do?" I said. "How old are you." He held his hand. "How old are you?" "How long have you been with me?" "I cross-bordered." "When were you in hiding?" "Come in and see me!" "What did you tell you?" PROCEDURE asking that you are well equipped to do the work you are doing. W Anatomy W Chin How W pain What Hurt How sitting How Mr Wu was Minister for Foreign Affairs for a time after China became a republic. Lately he has been living in Shanghai. His son is one of the counsel of Yuan, SS Kat, the President of China, and Mr Wu is well proud of him. "He is a fine boy," he said—a fine boy. He was educated in the schools at Washington and Atlantic City, and in England, and he took three scholarships, and was a member of the House when we elected one. Then, after the House was dissolved, the President asked him to stay in Kiel-Penge stay in Peking as one of his counsel, and he stayed. You will see him there. "Tell me about China," I received. The passion for interrogation was too strong to overcome. "What does the United States think about China?" Wu asked. "Loving that aside," I said, "to me about China." PUMPING A CLOSE. MOUTHED STATESMAN Twenty or thirty times I interviewed Mr. Wu when he was in Washington. I knew his methods. Sometimes he talks. At other times he recites parables. But never does he talk when he does not want to talk. Nor is there any danger of his talking too much when he should not. He turned on his stool and placed his hands on the table. "China is doing very well," he said. "How well?" "As you know, we are now a republic. Theoretically China has for many years been a republic, but practically China was a monarchy. The time came when the people were so disgusted with the inefficiency of the Manchu Dynasty which was ruling us that they rose and abolished the dynasty. The internal affairs of the country were so badly managed—as well as the external affairs—that the people would not submit any longer to this misrule; and they rose and deposed the monarchy. Then we had a President. Things were Ig a mess and we secured another President—Yuan, who has been directing our affairs for three years now. He has done very well. "Many people said the change was too sudden, and that we should have begun our democracy with a limited monarchy; but that was impossible. I admit that the change was sudden when the characteristics of the Chinese are taken into consideration; but what was there to do? Where was the man to be found who should be our limited monarch? What guaranty was there that the new king would not be as insufficient as the ruler we had despoiled? "We had had all sorts of dynasties, differing from Japan, where there has been an unbroken succession for two hundred years—the longest eight hundred years—and some less than one hundred years. We had had various sorts of rulers: various families had come into power, and the conditions against which we protested had become unendurable. So we made a President. Of course there were many complicated problems and things were in a great deal of commotion for a time; but tingly Yuan was chosen; and he has been President for three years and has done well." Mr Wu stopped. He looked at me as though to indicate that his general commentary about covered the case. "All right!" I said: "but how about the present situation?" "What situation?" "The situation between Japan and China." Wherefore we true Oriental foothold, Mr. We begin to speak in parable. As a speaker in parable Mr. We has few superiors. He parsied all around the room, out into the hall and back again. "Most interesting," I said, "that how about the situation between China and Japan?" Then we had another line of parable. They were good passengers and clothes in flowery language. "I trust," concluded Mr. Wu, "that you comprehend." "Unfortunately," I said: "I do not. Though I have been highly educated, I have not been instructed. You know Mr. Wu, that no Chinese boy so well known as you are in the United States, and I am much as I realize that I have come to you from the United States. I understand." --- their own interests and the interests of the people of the district. It is important that the district be well represented in the national and international arena, and that all essential services be made available to the people that those should be served. It is also important that the district be well represented in the national and international arena, and that all essential services be made available to the people that those should be served. It is also important that the district be well represented in the national and international arena, and that all essential services be made available to the people that those should be served. MORE PARABLES THAN OPINIONS Now that, as all the Great Powers are involved that the policy of the men door in China should be maintained, it is quite likely that those Powers are still of the same opinion, and for that reason it does not seem to me that any country should be allowed to obtain an unfair advantage in China. So far as the Japanese are concerned, we are of the same race as they are. It is well enough known that they obtained from us the Foundation of their civilization and their literature and their learning. We have been friends for a thousand years. It is possible that two countries, having been friends for so long, shall become enemies? Is it not, rather, the case that the Japanese, remembering our close connection with them and our long friendship, will not seek to take undue advantage of us because of these very considerations. I have mentioned. "But suppose they do?" "Simpose they do!" he reprimed. "I do not understand you." "Is it not possible that Japan may take into consideration these emotional reasons you have advanced?" "You do not make yourself clear," said Mr. Wu, smiling: "I mean this. Judging from recent occurrences, and from what we have learned of the Japanese demands, does it not seem to you that they have it in mind to go a bit farther than the policy of the open door permits?" "I fail to comprehend," said Mr. Wu. This time he was laughing at me; so I laughed too. Mr. Wa drummoned on the table with his fingers. "The policy of the open door," he said, "is the policy not only of the United States but of England, and of other countries as well. Sir Edward Grey, speaking in the House of Commons recently, said that Great Britain has interests to protect in China—and certainly your country has. Now, if the policy of the open door is the policy of other countries, why is it not the policy of Japan, which is one of the Powers? And if Japan violates that policy—if Japan does—what can China expect but protests from the other nations with interests here?" "Ja Japan violating it..." In Japan violating Mr. Wu: "My dear sir," answered Mr. Wu, "these direct questions are disconcerting to the Oriental mind!" "Meaning." I said, "that this is not the time for an opinion, Mr. Wu!" "Oh, Well." said Mr. Wu deprecatingly, "if you choose to put that interpretation on it I cannot—" "How old are you?" I interrupt. "How old are you?" I interrupt- Instantly Mr. Wu became all animation "I have forgotten," he said. "I take no count of years. A man is as he thinks. Never forget that. If a man thinks he is old, he is old. If he thinks thinks he is young he is young. If you have a man aged twenty who thinks he is sick, and you have a man aged eighty who knows he is well, which do you prefer. The man aged eighty, of course. He is more useful to the community. Age is a relative thing. I never consider my years. I always think in terms of youth." "Then," I said, "how young are you?" "I am forty-five" smiled Mr. Wu forty-five, and getting "younger every minute." "Oh, song! I want to—two hundred pounds, or maybe more. At present I have decided to live two hundred years. Maybe in fifty or sixty years I shall get tired of it and decide to die but I continue in my present frame of mind I shall live for two hundred years at least. Any man can live as long he wants to. It is only when a man makes up his mind to die, barring accidents or calamity, that he does die. If he makes up his mind to die he will live untimelyly." Of course we I have!" Nor has he ever just put a finger on my arm that he be blind to be over the hill. I know what I am talking about. Why, since I am talking about him I have lost all the life I had. I never catch cold purely I have not power of affliction but ever have a tattoo." "Not yet." He rubbed his fore. "I frightened!" he said. "I had it for twenty-two years and I had it for another and a lot of other things." Now they are all power vanished." And they all were the result of eating meat." "Well!" I said, "what do you eat?" "You eat it and drink it and nibble" "Do you eat fish?" "No." Do you eat oceans of drink milk, Mr. Wai." "You teeth but that is me for you." "What did you have for breakfast?" I asked "I do not eat any breakfast." "Well, what did you have for lunch?" "I have just finished my lunch," I had some brown bread and ate a nut substitute for butter on it I had a dish of vegetables and a dish of almonds, and a potato After that I ate a mango and an orange." "What will you have for dinner?" "Some more vegetables and a bowl of rice. I substitute the rice for bread at the evening meal." "Do you take any wine?" Mr. Wu looked at me in amazement. "Wine!" he exclaimed. "Of course not! Wine is a poison. I occasionally drink a little grape juice, but no wine nor any liquor. I take an hour at my meals. I eat very slowly. I mastache my food thoroughly and I am a living example of what this sort of diet does for a man." Certainly he looked it. Mr. Wu. I take it, is considerably more than sixty years old. At any rate he told me President Yuan is more than sixty and that they were young men together. He is as lively as a cricket and looks as though his promise to live two hundred years was no little boost. He wore Chinese dress; and when he took off his round cap I saw that his quoque was gone and that his hair, which was brushed straight back from his forehead, was only a little gray. I sought to settle that age business. "How old is President; Yuan?" I asked, with exceeding craft; I thought. "Oh," said Mr. Wu, "he is more than sixty. His hair is whiter than mine." he added; "and there you see what vegetarianism does for one. My hair used to be getting gray; but look at it now!" And he ran his fingers through it. "Look at my mustaches. They are not gray. Gray hair comes from eating flesh. Yuan's hair is much whiter than mine. Oh, yes—very much whiter. He eats flesh, you know." from the relations between China "Indeed!" said Mr. Wu. "And I and Japan." "But," I said, "this is a long way want to tell you that I drink no liquids with my meals; and I Flatch-verse my food. That is the secret of it. Why don't you try it?" that some of the Chinese I see on the trees here in Shanghai still wear their queues." "Yes; but not many. Most of our people have cut them off. Those who stick to them stick to them because it is the custom. Custom: Bah! I say to them: 'Don't you know that queues are not cleanly and make a great deal of unnecessary trouble?' And they tell me: 'Yes; but that has been the custom for centuries and they do not want to cut them' off. However, not more than five per cent of our men retain their queues, and only about one per cent. here in Shanghai. Up in the north, where they are more conservative than we are here, they hold to the queues; and some of the retainers of the old Manchu Dynasty wear them because they think it is loyal for them to do so, but, generally speaking, we have done away with our queues forever." "That is being suppressed. The laws are being enforced. We hold the people to a strict adherence to the mandate against opium consumption and punish offenders severely. It will not be long before opium smoking is almost eliminated from China." "And foot binding?" "That is another custom while our advance has made impossible. Foot binding will vanish in time also. We are progressing." "We are, I commented: 'and we have again progressed to the subject of the relations between China and Japan.'" "To that," said Mr. Wu. "I have just printed a new book it was out yesterday. It is called: What is Needed to Reform China? It is a Chinese book and has thirty chapters. It tells how to reform our finances, our politics, our rail roads, oh, everything. I sent ten copies to Peking with instructions to have a copy given to each lead-man there including President Yuan. You should read it." "But I cannot read Chinese." "Ah, yes!" and Mr. Wu thoughtfully. "Just have you ever read my book on America." "No," I contended. "I have not." "Get a copy." It is on sale here. You will find some chapters in that which apply to the present. "I saw my chance." "What situation?" I asked as it centrally as possible. "Oh," he said. "The situation in China in relation to our transition from a monarchy to a republic." "I thought it a might possibly re- tor to the situation between Japan and China. I continued." "You see?" Mr. Wu "the change was a very quick one. When our people would no longer land the foundation of our rule they rose and turned them out. As you were saying." "Do you think there will be war?" "War?" reported Mr. Wu in a hurried manner. "War? What do you mean by war? War who whom?" "Japan?" "Did you hear about my speech to the Filipino?" "I read something about it. As I remember it, you told them not to be in a hurry about independence." "Yes. I told them that. I think they are very well off as they are. I should remain in their present state unless until they are better fitted for self rule. Do you know most of the leading Philippines have Chinese blood in them?" "There are a great many Japanese in the Philippines." I said. "Japanese? Why, yes. I suppose there are." "And a considerably number are setting into China in one way or another." *Pavilion* "Which?" I ventured, "Brings us to that question of the relations between Japan and China. Suppose you cannot accede to all of Japan's demands?" "Demands? Demands? . Why, we were speaking of the Filipinos." "We were; and we were speaking of vegetables, and queues and columns, and ages and various other things. Suppose we speak of the relations between Japan and China for a brief space." A HINT OF CHINA'S HOPES. "Do you know," said Mr. Wu, "I think I should like to go again to the United States." "I am sure everybody in the United States would be glad to see you." Mr. You was pleased. "I am glad of that. I told your people I would make them a visit in 1559; but I may make up my mind to go before that time." "Why not this year?" "In what capacity?" asked Mr. Wu. "In your own capacity." "In your eyes, 'Oh, they would make it such a bother for me, with demanding papers and searching baggage, and that I have no official capacity, you know.' "Nobody would bother you; but everybody would be happy to see you." "I hope so; for the Americans are my good friends. I like the Americans." "How do you feel toward the Jap ansen?" "They are my good friends, also." "Do you think your country will have to fight them?" "Fight them? What an abuse question! We shall not fight them!" "But suppose they insist on demands you cannot grant?" Mr. Wu rose and walked over to a window. He looked out for a moment. Then he came and sat down at the hexagonal table, and drummed with his fingers on the emboldened cover. "War is for warlike nations," he said gravely. "If a nation is not warlike it should not consider war. There are other methods of raising one's point. Assistance is a good method. If a man or a nation has friends it is the part of friendship to respond if the man or the nation is in need of help. We hold your country to be our great friend; and we are bound by the agreement of the open door in China, and the preservation of our integrity, and the equal opportunity for all, as surely is afforded by it. Great Britain is bound by it. What is for our interest is for your interest. To whom should China turn, if in need of assistance, other than to the friends of the past, who have given ne sign that they are not the friends of the present? He stopped and drummed again on the table. And I know I had, in those few sentences, after much meandering, Mr. Wu Ting Faug's idea of the situation between Japan and I China, which, is, as I interpret it, that if China needs help it is the part of the United States to give that help; and that China will expect it. There was a little pause. "I trust," said Mr. Wu, "that you gather my meaning. "I do, I said: "And now, no turning to other things, if as you say, you intend to live until you are two hundred years old, how many more years will that be, counting from the last Chinese New Year?" "My son," said Mr. Wu, as he shook hands with me in the hallway, "a man who has decided to live until he is two hundred takes no account of time; hence, I cannot answer your question. But, if you will have no more flesh and will follow my advice, we shall both live for years and years, and be well and happy and strong. By the way, how old are you?" "I'll tell you when I got to be two hundred," I said. And he waved his hand at me as my pony, driven by my two cooties, ambled down the gravelled road.

JULY 17th 1913 FIVE DIE IN SURF AT ATLANTIC CITY Four Lost Their Lives in Effort to Save Batters. FOUR OTHERS ARE MISSING Two Hundred Men, Women and Children Were In Peril From Pounding Waves and Many Were Unconscious When Rescued. Lashed and beaten into helplessness by the merciless waves and held powerless in the grip of an undertow against which human might was futile, four men met heroic deaths on teah beach at Atlantic City, M. J. Other bathers, red, shirted beach guards and bathers, who took their lives into their own hands, battled desperately against tremendous odds to save them. Thousands lined the boardwalk and beach, women wringing their hands and weeping bitterly as the tragedy was being enacted before their eyes. For more than thirty minutes more than 200 lives were in pearl from the pounding surf, which hindered them into a deep slough running seaward from the strand at Chelsea avenue. Three others, one of them a young woman, are missing and may have met the same fate. The victims are: John Linda, of Philadelphia; Charles Green, a fisherman, of Atlantic City; William Crow and James McCay, of Philadelphia. Those missing are a young woman whose name is said to be Gramer, Frank Brigham, of Philadelphia; Dr. John F. Coultes and Charles Matlock. Six fishing skiffs returning from the fishing grounds off shore were most simultaneously in the breakers at Mississippi avenue. Green was rendered unconscious and a score of the sharkers were buried into the brewing breakers. Green was dead when taken ashore. Later, while hundreds were loosely leaping about in the great comber along the Chelsea front, between Morris and Sovereign avenues, with thousands watching from the boardwalk railing and hotel porch, a shrill cry went up. Two minutes later no fewer than 200 persons, many women and children among them, woke shrinking for help. The rising tide had filled an "offset," or slough, and as the panotristicken bathers turned shoreward they plunged into it, over their heads. Pandemonium ensued. Horror gripped the hearts of the watchers, for there were but two guardemen at hand. Ocear Channel and Walter Margarum. While these brave men raced seaward, lifeboys on their arms, to reach the bathers farthest out, the bathers formed a human life line to reach the others. One man, believed to have been McCay, was within a few feet of help when the human line crumbled under the battering of the seas, and others bathers dragged its members to the beach. Men, women and children were dragged out unconscious and stretched on the beach. There were eighteen of them at one time, and they went back to fight for others as they were revived. Need 2000 New Houses For Workers Real estate brokers, bankers and builders of Chester, Pa., were called together o. Monday in the office of William I. Schaffer, general counsel for the Baldwin Locomotive works, and told in plain words that Chester must provide at least 2000 new houses for the army of additional workers who are to be added to the working force at the Baldwin plant at Eddystone when work starts on the filling of war contracts. "There can be no dilly-dallying with this proposition," declared Mr. Schaffer. "These men are coming here in the next month or so; they will bring their families and as they will make good wages they will want comfortable homes; what are you going to do about it?" The Remington Arms company, who will manufacture munitions for the allies while the European war continues, will operate the new addition that is now being rushed to completion at the Baldwin plant. It was stated at the meeting that the Remington people will be paying out in wages at the Biddystone plant somewhere in the neighborhood of half a million dollars weekly, and that operations will begin there within a couple of months—purchase soon.

TEUTONS SWEEP RUSSIANS BACK CROSS THE RUSSIAN BORDER Giant Gune of Austro-Germans Smash Foe's Defenses and Troope Push Forward. Another great victory for the Germans all along the line in Galicia was announced by the German war office. The Austro-German army of General von Linnongon, which captured Halleck and swept across the Dalestar river, has driven the Russians across the Gnilla Lips river all the way from Halleck to Firelejow, which lies on the Gnilla Lips, thirty miles southeast of Lemberg. The Russians are officially reported to be evacuating their positions upon the Tanew river and the lower San. Northeast of Lemberg, the Russian forces that fell back upon the river Bug were unable to withstand the crashing drive of the Austro-German forces under General von Mackenzen, and crossed the stream in full retreat, the war office says. The Russians made a stand of Moody's wedge, twenty-eight miles to the northeast of Lemberg, but the giant guns of the Teutonic allies, that had been rushed forward with incredible speed, amashed the Russian defense and the Austro-German troops again swept forward. It was at this point that the Russian line was bent back and the retreat across the Bug began. The Russians are less than twenty miles inside the border in northwestern Geilicia. The text of the statement reads: "In the eastern theater of the war northing of importance developed. "In the southeastern theater the army under General von Linsingen defeated the enemy during a pursuit along the entire front between Halies and Pirifelow and drove them across the Gnila Lpa river. In this section the fighting continues. Further to the north, in the Praemyslany district, the town of Kamilka, twenty-five miles northeast of Lemberg, has been reached by our troops. "To the north of Kamilka, the enemy did not await our attack, but retreated across the river Bug at a point below Kamilka. "In a section to the north and north-east of Meaty Wickle, about thirty miles north of Lemberg, and also to the east and west of Tomaszow, the enemy offered resistance. Everywhere he was defeated. Here we are now in Russian territory. (Thomaszow is in Poland.) "Under the pressure of our advance in this district, the enemy is beginning to evacuate his positions in the Tanew auction and on the lower San." ITALIANS NEAR RIVA Force Passes and Climb 8000 Feet Down Cliffs in New Invasion DOWN CHINA IN NEW INVOLATION. Despite the Austrian reinforcements along the whole frontier, the Italians have succeeded in entering Austrian territory south of Riva, on the western side of Lake Garda. They are within six miles of Riva, which is the only important town on the lake. It is ten miles from Roveto and twenty miles from Trent, against which another force has been operating from the south. The Italians made their way into the enemy's territory through the Nota Vil passes, about 5000 feet high, descended the precipitous diffis of Carone mountain, over 8000 feet high, entered the Ledro valley and reached the Ponale river. The Ponale runs for five miles, from Lake Ledro, which has an altitude of 2000 feet, to the shore of Lake Garda, whose altitude is 7000 feet. CRY FOR THEIR MOTHERS Plight of Wounded Boys Most Terrible of Battlefields' Tragedy. Mrs. Philip Snowden, who has just arrived in New York city upon her way to the Womoe's Peace Congress in San Francisco, told of what a British officer had described to her as the most terrible of the tragedies of the battlefield. "It is not the shrinks of the wounded ar they fall," he said, according to Mrs. Snowden. "It is not the sight of the dead as they lie there, but it is the cry of the wounded boys calling for their mothers, and there is no one to do anything for them. "They are the boys of sixteen and seventeen and even younger. They may say 'Mother,' or something equivalent, but in their agony all those boys call for the one who has given them the greatest care all their lives." Sweden Can Get Cotton.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA ```markdown ``` Photo by American Press Association Before leaving Washington for San Francisco William J. Bryan prepared a statement: intended to correct widespread publications that he had informed Dr. Dumba, the ambassador of Austria, that President Obama's note German officials had sent to Lithuania disaster was not to be taken seriously. For the first time it is disclosed authoritatively through Mr. Bryan's statement that his alleged interpretation of this document was intended to obstruct communication between Washington Berlin and Vienna. While Mr. Bryan says that his conversation was misrepresented in Berlin, he fails to tell exactly what he did say to the Austrian-Hungarian ambassador in his denial is in general. His denial is in general that Ambassador Dumba got the impression from Mr. Bryan that President Wilson's note informing the German government that it would be held to strict accountability" was inscribed in the United States, and for that reason was not to be taken seriously by Germany. That the German government was impressed by the remark alleged to have been made to the ambassador had not been indicated by the admission that "we learned that the impression had been misinterpreted in Berlin." French War Ministry Announces Advent of New Ally. The announcement was made at the French ministry of war in Paris that, according to the Italian press, Italy has broken diplomatic relations with Turkey, Italy, it is added, will send troops to the Dardanelles. The Italian newspapers are public, says the Borlin' Overseas News agency, over the announcement just made that Italy is to participate in the operations against the Dardanelles by sending a boat, under the Duke of the Abruzzu, to release the larger British warships for important work elsewhere. A declaration of war by Turkey is said to be considered imminent and the newspapers of Rome are quoted as expressing the belief that Italy's action will signify a new era in the politics of the Orient. TRAIN KILLS THREE Occupants of Wagon Said to Heve Been Asleep When Crash Came.

Borlin hears Italy present a float to aid the allies at the Dardanelles. THURSDAY. Grand Duke Nicholas, with most of his army and Artillery, is rotring from Lemberg toward the Russian frontier, according to London reports, and fear is felt that the Austro-German forces have separated his army from the Russian army in southeast Galicia. Berlin reports that Lemberg was fiercely defended by the Russians before it was recaptured. German attacks west of Peronne, in north France, have been repulsed, according to a Paris official statement. The Germans have shelled Aras and severe fighting is reported in Lorraine. Italian operations toward Trieste have been brought to a standstill in the isomero river region. The Austrians are making great efforts to have Gors from capture. FRIDAY Reports from both Russian and German sources say that the Russians are putting up a fierce resistance to the Austrian-German attacks along the Dnieper river, in Galicia. Vienna dispatches say the Russians, who evacuated Lemberg continue their retreat northward. German attacks at many points along the western line, of them with poisonous gases and infamnable liquids, have been repulsed, according to French reports. A German drive on the "Labyrinth," north of Arama, has been stopped. Austrian dispatches deny the capture by Italy of Plevna in the Trieste campaign. Rome reports say unfavorable weather has retarded Italian operations. SATURDAY Germany is reported to be sending heavy guns to the Polish front for a new advance on Warsaw. Vienna reports the capture of Chodorow, Galicia, and says reinforcements are hurrying to aid the Austrians which are held in check by the Russians on the Dnister river. News dispatches to London say the Rusians captured 130,000 troops during the retreat through Galicia. Another report to reach London is that the Germans have strengthened their front in France with troops released by the successful outcome of the Galician campaign. Reinforced by four army corps (160,000 men), the Austrians have begun a counter offensive against the Italians. Austrian troops on the southern front are now said to number 500,000 men. SUNDAY The German movement in Poland now shows that another attack has been launched against Warsaw in the form of a drive from the north through Prasasnysz. German troops after force fighting have crossed the Dniester river between Bukaszowice and Chedorow, in Gallica, and have taken by storm the hills on the northern bank, according to an official statement issued by the German army headquarters staff. The French claim further gains north of Arras, after a heavy bombardment. The official statement says the Germans used a faming liquid in a counter attack, but were repulsed with heavy losses. There was heavy fighting in the Argonne and along the Meuse, reports of which are conflicting. MONDAY. Russian forces in eastern Galicia have withdrawn from the Düster river to the Gnila Lipa, where they are said to have reformed in a strong defensive position. The Austro-German forces operating against them have crossed the Düster. In northwest Galicia the Toupons are attacking the Muscovite army along the Tanew river, and at the same time making a movement to turn the Russian left flank near the junction of the Vistula and San rivers. This movement, if successful, would place the Germans in position to make a drive toward Warsaw from the south. Italian troops have captured Mount Ellenkoffel, in the Carmic Alps, in their northward movement toward Plocken, Austria. The French war office reports that German attacks aimed apparently at Verdun, have been repulsed at Caraone.

ITALIAN$ PUSH FOE BACK Austrians Fighting Hard to Prevent Attack on Pola. The capture of Mollorghotto, which was reported in fame as a result of the persistent Italian bombardment, is believed to be imminent. Its capture will be an important gain for the army which is advancing toward Taranto, with the object of cutting the railroad which connects the city of Varese with the interior of the empire. The Austrians, fearing the investment of Pola by land and sea through the cutting of railway communications connecting the Istrian peninsula with the mainland, are now rushing northward the troops which were concentrated at Pola, with the object of checking the Italian advance toward Trieste. Meanwhile non-combatants are being compelled to evacuate Pola and are being sent to Plume by the steamers. Extraordinary precautions have been taken against aerial raids, gunpowder and ammunition being stored underground. Although Pola is provisioned to withstand a long slobe, the Austrians are pessimistic, fearing that if the Italian are added by an Anglo-French naval force they will succeed in taking the fortress. --- First Submarine New Junk.

Tobeybana Gets U. S. Artillery Range The United States war department has bought for $100,000, 13,939 acres of land at Tobeybana, Pa., for a field artillery target range for both militia and regular troops.

That will be dependent upon the development of the militia in those sections.

Throughout the Negro districts flags flaunted at half mast attesting to the Negro districts and in memory of Crisp Attacks the brave Negro slave who blood on Boston commences streak to first blow for the great war that brought on the natives' problem. This celebration in honor of the day was held at the Y M C N in Bedford Street, and was marked for patriotic spirit. A large and festive patriotic men and women present the motto and joined heartily in singing the spirited songs typical of the day. Secretary Bell presided and made a brief introduction addressing telling of the significance of the day and of the Negro's beautiful hour to share in the honor of the great day. It is read that the patronage of the Negro in the early day of the republic had been a virtue at the time, and that he join with other people in commemorating the event. The creator of the day was Herman R. L. Smith, a former member of the Texas legislature and one of the most notable figures of the Texas Legislature and one of the most not able figures in the political and educational life of the Nevo in the Nation. Mr. Smith made a thrilling address in which he urged the Negro to begin to feel proud of itself and to join in making these memorable days worth while. He was in splendid optimism, a frame of mind and brought out many callent points in his address which were frequently applauded. He said in part, there have been two great decisions which bear directly on the Negro. One of them was the Infamous Dred Scott decision in 1857 which had for its object the nationalizing of slavery. It was in that decision that Judge Taney handed down the decision that a Negro had no rights that a white man was bound to respect. Sixty years after that infamous decision the Supreme court of the land the highest decision in the land has handset down a decision which marked a new epoch in the life of the nation and the Negro. This decision has accomplished a great deal for the moral conscience of the nation and the Negro can well be proud of such a victory. This decision means that the nation has done about as much for us as it will or ever will, and we must begin to beard ourselves." Mr. Smith told his hearers to be loyal to their country as this was the only country that we know any thing about. He said that the Negroes had already paid his price for what ever this nation could give it and we must feel that we are entitled to all that the nation can give. Continuing Mr. Smith said: my experience covering a half century has revealed to me that I cannot talk with force for you and for myself unless that I could back it up with a life of honesty and square dealing. Do what you say you are going to do and dont be what you are not. The wife man is bound to respect, you if you have these outstanding qualities. At the conclusion of the address an informal reception was held and those present greeted Mr. Smith heartily. It is believed that the address will mark a new epoch in the life of the young men who heard and as the result there will grow up a new uplift of independence. HON. R. L. SMITH NOTED CHARACTER. At the conclusion of the address your correspondent had an interview with Mr. Smith and found him an interesting character life is one of the most prominent figures in the uplift of the race, and in the State of Texas where he resides his word is accepted throughout the State. He is a graduate of Atlanta University, and is one of the most prominent alumnus of that famous institution. He is a lawyer by profession and has won wide recognition in that field. Although a South Carolinian by birth, he has spent the most of his life in Texas and it is in that state that he won fame. He was for four times elected to the legislature in the state of Texas, and I was the last Negro to represent the race in that state in the legislature. Mr. Smith is prominent in other activities being an influential member of the national negro business league and of the James Fund Board. His mission in New York was to attend the annual meeting of that Board. The success that Mr. Smith has made should be an inspiration for the young men of the race. Information reached this bureau from Bluefield, W. Va., that the Colored Men's Department of the N. & Western Railway Department is taking on new life under its new secretary P. A. Golnes who has men with distinct success in the many fields that he has work carried on for colored men and boys, and having as its aim the reaching or that class of men who work on the railroads it will do much to furnish the properties for the men who work on the railroad at the great risk of life and morals. Under Secretary Golnes, the association should do well and judging from the information that has come to this bureau the association is adjusting itself to the community life of the neighborhood in which it is located. One of the most prominent events happening in the life of the association which gives it an impetus was the large meeting in the interest of the association at the Raleigh Street church of which Rev. J. A. Pickett is pastor. The meeting marked new epoch in the life of the colored citizens of that city and made the stock of the Y. M. A. soar to a higher plan. Information reached this section that an outpouring of the best citizens of the race was evident at the meeting of the civil and spiritual upfit of the race took part. The crowning feature of the meeting was the presence of Governor H. D. Hatfield of W. Va. who spoke on the Social Uplift and Welfare of all the people. The Governor in his address called attention to the salients points that made for the welfare of all the people of the state and praised the YM. C. A. movement as a attempt in that direction before the Governor spoke the following program was rendered. Prof Jas L. Hill principal of the colored graded school at Bluefield presided. Rev J. A. Pickett gave the invocation Special music for the occasion was furnished by choirs of the carolous city churches. Governor Hatfield in his address praised the colored citizens of W. Va. on the progress they have made and said that the thrift of the Negro in the State was shown by the war. It has cut down its illiteracy until today it was the lowest amount Negroes throughout the nation. He advised the young colored men to join the Y. M. C. A. and other agencies. It made for the highest upfit of new life and citizenship. He warned the young men to leave away from dens of vines and cement and to look away to these higher things that made for honor and character. The Governor in his address, posted in a thumbnail, stated for a manner free from that patronism to confessions in men of the other races speaking before colored people. Present at the meeting with the Governor was Mayor Carter and other influential citizens. At the conclusion of the meeting an informal reception was tendered the Governor in which the entire audience participated. The members of the branch and a large number of colored men employed on the N & W Railroad were present. Your correspondent sends congratulation to Secretary Golmes and the colored citizens of Bluefield for the interest they are showing in the spiritual organization for the development of young manhood. FIRST ANNUAL REPORT SHOWS PROGRESS Secretary Golson sent your correspondent a copy of his first annual report ending May 10th, 1917. The report indicates that much progress has been made since secretary Golson took hold and the outlook is bright for a glorious year. The report states that on May 9th, 1918 there was only a membership of 47. Since Mr. Goines took hold he has added over 164 names to the membership making a total upodate of 206 active members. Over 618 attended the Sunday meetings, 278 in the Bible classes, and evangelical meeting was held where 102 attended. The report states that in the association reading room and library there are 1 daily newspaper, 7 weekly newspaper from the same number of states, 8 illustrated papers and magazines. There have been over 12 educational lectures given with an attendance of 337. During the year over 4,630 have attended the building. In stating the needs the report calls attention to the immediate needs as follows $219.00 for a bath room. $275.00 to repair dormitory floor, and $30.00 to make provisions for a High School for the association. Your correspondent wishes Secretary Goines success in his new field. Your correspondent has always been favorably impress with his earnestness and sincerity and he will doubtless make a success in this important field. HOWARD ORPHANAGE STARTS BUILDING CAMPAIGN The Howard Orphanage and Industrial school located on Long Island started a campaign for a new building which will serve as a dormitory to make room for the large number of children that are compelled to turn away on the score of lack of room. Mrs. M. G. Gordon made this known last Sunday evening at St. Mark's M. E. Church where the orphanage was holding its annual meeting. A feature of the meeting was the singing of jubilee songs by the children of the school. Speaking of the institution she said that there was no institution that was doing so much in this section as the development of the orphan children as this institution and that it should be supported to increase its work. She said there were 280 children in the orphanage who are being trained for usefulness and service. The health of the children is carefully watched and every thing is done to safe-guard it she said. Mrs. Gordon told how the children are being trained for service so that when they leave the home they will be able to take care of themselves in life. The meeting was an impressive one and did much to further the acquaint ten public with the sins and objects of this institution.

PLAN NEGRO PARK WELL-KNOWN MEN LAUNCH PROJECT AT BUSINESS MEN'S CLUB Plans were discussed at a luncheon at the Business Men's Club yesterday looking to the establishment of a park in old Jackson Ward for the exclusive use of Negroes. The necessity for a playground and recreation center for colored people has been recognized for some time, and it is hoped to interest civic associations in a movement to bring the matter before the City Council. John Stewart Bryan called the meeting, which was attended by eighteen well-known men in the city. Father Charles Hannigan, who has been deeply interested in the matter, discussed the proposition and explained the benefits which would accrue not only to the community in which the park should be located, but to the city at large. While no definite action was taken, those at the luncheon pledged their hearty co-operation and another meeting will be held in the near future to go further into ways and means. The proposed site of the park is on First Street, between Duval and Baker Streets.—Richmond, Va. Times-Dispatch, July 10, 1915. When you think of a day of pleasure think of Astoria Ben.
