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.

Ice cream and coke were served. 7 ANNIVERSARY EXERCISES OF THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH CLIFTON FORGE VA.

THE MASTER MIND Novelized by Marvin Dana, author of "Within the Law." from the suc- cessful play by Daniel D. Carter Copyright, 1913, by the H. K. Fly company. SYNOPSIS Henry Allen, a young married man, is entended to be executed for killing the man who won the affections of Allan L. Lucena, the son of the criminal world as the 'Master Mind' determines to avenge his brother. He writes the district attorney that he will send him white real and black blank cards, add the progress of his plans for revenge. Andrew discovers that the district attorney who convicted Henry is in love with an orphan girl who once saved his life. The district attorney, Waltweight, is looking for this girl, but cannot find her. Andrew finds the girl and after contemplating to send her to prison gets her released. He then educates her. The Master Mind, Andrew, then provides a family and a house for the girl Lucena. The members of the 'Family' Lucena, however, does not know of their past. Andrew takes the position of butler in the house. Lucena's three associates represent themselves as the father, mother and brother. Andrew draws commands. Finally, unknown to Lucena, they quarrel among themselves. Waltwright, the district attorney, is hired to the Blount establishment by Andrew and acquiesces Waltwright has up as a leading candidate for governor of New York state. Andrew plots his ruin. Loomis meets Waltwright. It is a case of love at first sight. Kush remembers the occasion when the girl saved his life by binding a tombstone around a wrist in an automobile and went. They marry. Oregonian a proficient western thief is murdered by the life of district attorney Waltwright. Who is a criminal posing as law enforcement brother. Oregonian learns that the girl be once placed in Chicago. Kush is now placed in the life of district attorney Waltwright. The thief is informed by Andrew as to where the Waltwright jewel case kept. Andrew sends Waltwright a black card—the sign that his blow is sheet to fail. On receiving the black card, which was placed in the black card—the sign that his blow is sheet to fail. Andrew reveals to Waltwright that, although posing as a butter, he is really the freaked Master. Mind Marshall captures the Master in his book, Waltwright family life. Waltwright family is present and recognizes Croghan. Waltwright appears on the scene. The trial that is to commence soon, following Andrew's orders, and says that he traveled from Chicago to see her at her money. Andrew informs Waltwright that he is ruining her home and his political chances deliberately and that nothing can stop him. He limits vaguely at the nature of the so called "relatives" of the district attorney's wife. Andrew finally reveals the names and addresses of the three "blounts"—father, mother and son as members of the family of Croghan. He shows that by making all this public he can prevent Waltwright from being closed governor. The district attorney plans to checkmate Andrew's schemes by enlisting the three "blounts"—father, mother and son as members of the family of Croghan. The Master Mind is confident that the district attorney cannot circumvent them. IN the interval of time that elapsed after his interview with Walt Wright, Andrew had chosen to shut himself in the seclusion of the cabin room, where he held communion with his thoughts while awaiting the appointed hour for the bidding of his comma's decision. As to what that decision would be the Master Mind had small doubt, nor did he feel any concern over the results about the impromptu occur, and Walt Wright refuse thus to give up his political career. In such case the effect would be received near the box. There was no mans by which Wainwright would be able, so far as Andrew could survive, to prevent public loot. And public would be open. The Master Mind would be at pains to secure the widest maternal for the reports most likely, to do his enemy harm. His work would be carefully all-ed by Wainwright's political fellows, who were many and powerful. The victim would become a laughing stock or an object of contempt. He could no longer or command a following of loyalty devoted followers. It mattered not at all whether the reports concerning him should be the truth or garbled distortions. Either would be fatal to his high ambitions. The public could never again respect as their chief a man who had been so boodwinned as to consort intimately with notorious criminals, to receive them into his household, to accept them as his closest relations, to make one of them his wife, whom, but for simply exposure, he would have made CHAPTER XVII At the Bar. fifteenth of the executive mission of the greatest state of the Union But tonight the Master Mind found it difficult to hold his eyes shut. Since he had seen the wife of her angry over what had come to pass through his machinations he was unable to ignore THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. as before this wretchedness of his making for her. He could not escape realization of what all this must mean to her. In his perception now he learned, too, as never yet in the years of association with her, how dear she was become to him. He altered no whit in his resolve of vengeance on the man whom he held responsible for his brother's death, but at least he was forced to admit the torment it must inflict on her and as well the distress to himself that her suffering must cause. In his novel appreciation of the ill the must undergo he suddenly saw his own feeling for Luceine in a new light. For long he had known that she was dear, that he chastised her fondly, that she was, in truth, more to him than any other person in the world. But not until tonight had he grasped in full degree the intensity of his regard. He understood now that he had for her a pure passion—that of father, mother, friend, love. In a second of illumination the Master Mind knew why his love for the dead brother burned less hotly in this hour. It was because the flames of his heart were all blazing at the shrine of this girl, Luceine. A new love had put out the old. There was left only hate of that first love. And was hate itself left in all its former savannah? The Master Mind shrank appalled from that question, which offered to make a mock of all his tell. He thrust it from him, shuddering. He jumped up and strode to and fro from a rooftop against all things. Then presently he recollected his engerge, set him control over his emotion and determined to go forward undeclinating it as if none of these strange things had entered at the eleventh hour to turn the apples of vengeance to Dead Sea fruit. So, with a curious lifestyles that was foreign to him, but with no least weakening of his purpose, he descended the stairs, went to the library door, opened it gently and stood on the threshold, smiling tolerantly on the assembly before him. It was Wainwright whom Andrew first addressed, speaking in accents of symbolic environment. "Ah, I love you. You are engaged in that occupation or familiar to those of your profession, supporting with the witness. It must seem to you quite like old times. I fancy. You can almost fancy yourself district attorney again." Then he went to the three criminal who refused steadfastly to encounter his eyes. It was Mr. who afforded an unexpected alteration. He stood up and faced the Master Mind seriously. "You've got no kick,司令," he smiled. "You aren't been on the level with us, Sasf." Andrew assumed a manner of patience. "How can't be impatient." Walter broke into the conversation. "Thuh you!" he exclaimed, writhfully "And with a Pinkerton right here in the house every day." Andrew, however, received the triple accession with a grimity. "Have you not yet," he asked generally, "satisfied any evil consequences from the presence of this Pinkerton in the house?" of a sudden he throw of the protection of mistiness. His eyes fanned, his mouth drew into cruel lines. His voice was grating, our chuckled with mischief. "And so you think you can direct me with impatience," he deserted me, at the blinding of this man here. He made a contemptuous posture toward Waltwright. "Oh, you please, blind worms?" "Well what would you expect?" Walter or bored? "You double crossed us, didn't you?" "No, I did not," was the impetuous reply, "Why?" Andrew checked himself at reply, as if disaffected of yielding to minor because of such as these rebellious whom he despised. "That I did not attempt to reason with fools," he continued arrogantly, "In three weeks, I could make you see that no one on earth could save you from the consequences of my wrath—least A "You—desert me, at the bidding of this man herelo" of all this incompetent protector whom his own fully has provided for you, Mr. Wainwright. But you have made your own beds—now you shall lie on them. Understand that, please! I have said M—I, the Master Mind." CHAPTER XVIII AT that name the three criminal units blanched and trembled. Abruptly, then, they knew why it was that they had been so subservient to the man of mystery: it was the inevitable tribute of the outlaw to the chief, the instinctive yielding of burgage from their kind to the supreme in crime. It never occurred to them to doubt the truth of this revelation. Wainwright had avoided any explanation to them concerning Andrew's identity. "Don't be frightened by a name," he cried, sharply. "Why, you're as sly as children scared by the bogey man. He has determined already to throw you be the Witch. If you will stand by me, between us we shall stand him where he use no longer injure you or me or any other human being." It was evident that the force and conviction with which Waltraut presented his plea were not without a considerable effect on the alarmed trio. "It is really a farce," Andrew said. "And you actually expect to do this thing, to dispose of me thus completely, with the aid of these persons here assembled—this imposing array." He pointed acutely at the trio of criminals, who winced despite their new access of courage. "Well truly I am intertwined," he continued, jeeringly. "I am, in fact, so much interested that I am disposed to give you all the assistance in my power. And let me add, Mr. Wainwright, that I await your pleasure in this proceeding with all the more anticipation of agreeable entertainment because I know out of my own experience how accustomed you are to dealing with crooks to further your own ends." "I venture to promise that you will not be disappointed," Wainwright joined, with moment emphasis. The entrance of Parker halted him, who said: "Dr. Forbes is here, sir." Now a little gleam of triumph shoes in Walnwright's eyes, which Andrew, watching narrowly, detected. "One moment, Parker." Walnwright directed. Then he regarded the Master Marshall Moved to a Place Near the Door. Mind for an instant contemptfully "It is not yet too late for you to with draw," he suggested. "I give you that option." Yet he had no hope of win- ning this easily, and the result posi- tified his back of confidence for Andrew exculated) only a single word, inse- ciently: "Proceeded." Andrew moved to an incomple- position by the wall across the room from Walwright. His manner was wholly unconcerned, save for a mere flickering light of anticipation, which Lucas observed impatiently. More shall moved to a place near the door, in absence to Walwright's order. The queens reminded as they had leas- ed, but all exhibited something of new nicheless, for now, at last, the crib was come. Seen the door was opened by baker, who stood able to permit the entrance of Dr. Dodson. The play already advanced quickly to the master of the house, who, with Lucas, rose to greet him. Dr. Forbes bowed awkwardly of Loewe's institution to a seat, as she herself returned to for chair, but he chose to remain standing, while he glanced about the room over the ill-assorted group with an expression of professional expenence. "What is the trouble?" he questioned. "As a matter of fact, doctor." Wainwright explained, "we had rather a lively evening or night. I might better say—here in the house. The thing has been a bit bothering, taking it first and last. I shall give you the full details to all that has occurred in due course; but now it would take too much time. The upset of the whole matter is, that we've got a lainnie in our usually quiet and respectable home. Naturally, we want you to take him off our hands." "A lainnie, oh?" he said. "I had hardly anticipated anything of the sort, since I have some acquaintance with you all. Some stranger, I suppose." Wainwright shook his head emphatically. "No," he said decisively, "not a stranger, not by any means a stranger." He raised his arm and pointed toward Andrew. "There he is." The physician's first appointment now became an unqualified appointment, as his eyes followed the direction indicated by his friend's gesture. "What—Andrew?" he demanded. Walnairn nodded respectfully. "Yes," he said. Andrew himself was standing confidently, in a posture of particular intimacy. His eyes were down at his hands were clasped on it, unite appeal. The expression of his counterance was shameful, with a feeble, varying smile of depreciation. Dr. Forbes surveyed the unexpected patient for a full minute, scrutinizing the dejected attitude, the disconcerted face. "Is he violent?" he asked first. "Well, no; he hasn't shown any symptoms of a violent sort as yet." Waltwright admitted. "But, as is natural, I think Mrs. Waltwright is afraid he may got dangerous at any moment and I must confess for my own part that I, too, feel nervous concerning the matter. Lucene has noticed that he has been acting very oddly for some days. I've been so busy with the work of my campaign that I failed to pay much attention to him myself. But the others of the family, being less occupied, have observed his peculiar actions, and tonight the thing came to a head" "Ah, I see!" the physician remarked noncommittally. "Now, Cortland, I wish you to explain to me as accurately as your untrained mind will be able to do the exact details of the charge displayed by our undertaker." "Why, as to that," was the answer, "the poor man seems to have the most extraordinary notions about the character of my wife's relatives. That would be strange enough by itself. But it is worse than that. His delusion even goes no far that he has the like monstrous ideas about my wife herself in spite of the fact that bibetho he has appeared devoted to her service, and there can be no doubt that he himself actually believes these aburd hallucinations. My brother-in-law, I believe, was the first to notice this feature of his insanity. Perhaps ```markdown ``` "Who, me?" she gasped. you would wish him to tell you himself. Waltwright fixed his glance imperatively on Walter and addressed him by name, with a vellid note of menace in his tongue. "Please tell Dr. Forbes what Andrew said about you." "Oh," Walter explained jumally. "I noticed the old chap looking kind of queer for several days now." He turned toward Blount boyishly. "You remember my speaking to you about it, don't you, dad?" "Why, you, man," he replied. "Now, let me say, that was." He paused meditatively as if searching his memory. "It was the day before yesterday at lunch. I spoke of it as soon as Andrew was out of the room." Walter the declared gaily. Blount grunted amutatively. "That's right, son," he agreed. "That was the time you spoke of it, and then you had it out with him, you know." "Yes," Walter resumed. "Why, he actually had the nerve to accuse me of being a jewelry thief." "Indeed!" Fortress ejaculated. "Toe, and what's more?" Walker added, enunciated by his success thus far and becoming kingly audacious. "He had the collar nerve to may be knew I had done time in Sing Sing." "That. Singular!" the physician com- posed. "What things to did too. Two what he said to you, dad." Blount crawled back his fears. "Why, he is einmal, the fellow called me a man longing." "Most extraordinary!" Fortress declared. Blount shot a chance toward his wife. "You heard him Sadie, he said, with a significant inflection." Mrs. Blount, standing beside Lecone's chair, started. "What me," the gueux alarmed. Blount swerved at her. "See you," I say you heard him. Didn't you? "Sore you did sure you did." When she observed the mandatory stare of her husband she deemed it the part of patience to be his implied blinding. "Oh, you I remember now," she said airily her rich voice, in which she boo-treer "Sure I heard him. And you just ought to have heard what he called me. The very idea." Her face set in lines of virtuous indignation, "Oh, doctor, really it was too terrible. Why, he had the audacity to say that I was in a shoplifter from Milwaukee." And all I ever knew about Mifwaukee was what I read in the beer advertisements" she exclaimed again indignantly. CHAPTER XIX. AINWRIGHT addressed the physician confidentially: "You see, now, Harry, how it be. The thing came to a cili max tonight, when I began, with the kindiest intentions, to ask him some questions concerning his health. He just placered at me as if I were trying to do him some injury instead of really wanting to help him in his trouble. And then, all of a sudden, he proceeded to make the most preemptive demands you could possibly imagine. First he repeated all these strange imaginations of which you have been hearing here tonight, and then he even was so wild as to tack on one in which he stated that my wife, too, had been convicted of theft and been sent to jail. "To tell the truth, doctor," he continued, "I couldn't make head or tail out of his mourning. And I never got so worried that, finally, as you are an examiner in lunacy, with the power of commitment, I thought the best thing would be to get you over here and let you take him away and put him safely under observation for a while." "Andrew, come here, please," the physician ordered. "Yes, sir." The answer was stunned with the utmost respect. The Master mind immediately advanced to a position just in front of Forbes, where he remained standing patiently. "You have heard what was said?" "Oh yes, sir. To my great surprise, sir." "Ah! to your great surprise, oh! why did you say those things?" "I don't remember anything else, sir. Really, sir, it doesn't seem possible that I should give you your milk." Scheduled future about the family of the coward. "Now tell me the exact truth, you continued: 'Do you think that Mr. Walter is a thief?' "No, indeed, sir," he declared. "Or that Mr. Blount is a bank burger?" "Oh, no, sir—no, never, sir. Not that about Mr. Blount either." "Why did you threaten Mr. Walnwright, saying that if he refused to do your bidding you would publish these stories in the newspapers?" "I'm very sorry, sir." Andrew responded, with a quick reaction to his former meek manner, "but I don't remember anything about it, sir." "Do you dislike Mr. Walnwright?" was the next inquiry. "Oh, goodness—no, sir?" "Or Mr. Walnwright?" "Oh, no, sir—oh, no, indeed, sir. Very far from it." "I am glad to hear you speak in this fashion," Forbes said approvingly. "Nevertheless, my good man, it appears on indisputable testimony that you have said these curious and offensive things. What have you to say to me as to that fact?" Again Andrew looked up. "Well, sir," he said, "to tell the truth, I am not surprised. A thing like it happened to me once before sir." There was a general movement of astonishment, in which even the physician shared, at this moment a vow of his unfortunate moral condition "You sir," he went on, with obvious reluctance, dropping his eyes; "I knew my last place before this in the same way." "Well, now," Andrew, "said De Forbes, "how would you like to go along with me for just a little while to get rushed up a bit, you know?" But the patient displayed a sadder and unexpected animation in response to this proposal. "Oh, no, indeed! Not to an—an in some asylum—no, not." He wring his hands displayingly, and his face became written with fear. "Oh, I am sure that would drive me mad, indeed." "But you surely need a change of some kind," Andrew, he urged. "I know that, sir," he said softly. "I know it only too well, sir." Then a little more of apoptosis takes his exposition. He took a letter from his pocket and hold it from the physischian. "I had thought that this might be the thing for me," he ended as Forbes took the letters. "It is from a cousin of mine down in Virginia, sir." The physician scanned the missive. "I see," he said thoughtfully. "As I understand it, then, you have entered the idea of going down there and living with your cousin, for some A "I'm under Mr. Watson's orders." time at least, on his farm. Are you still of a mind to follow this course, Andrew, if you should be allowed? "The patient's face brightened, and his hands were raised in a movement of entreaty. "Oh, sir, if I only might!" he cried "I should like it so very, very much, sir." "Good!" came Forbes' crisp comment. He turned briskly to Walt wright. "That's the best way out of the difficulty, Cortland, by all means, he advised. 'Under the circumstances now, an optimum would be the very worst place in the world for him. Benelly, Cortland, I couldn't think of advising it." Despite Watson's efforts, Dr. Forbes refused to commit Andrew, and he deported, leaving the oldly assort ad group in the library. The air of humility now fell from Andrew as might a garment when he strode forward, so that he faced the others closely. "Ingenious, Mr. Walawright," he said, with scout. "Oh, it was really quite ingenuous. Its one demerit was that it proved so utterly inefficient." He looked slowly over the others in the room, with the exception of Locene, from whom he held his gaze studiously averted. None of the three criminals who had joined in the fiddle revolt against him ventured to meet his eyes. They set in nervous dejection, expectant of condemn punishment. Andrew smiled as he contemplated them, and the smile beded all the. The smile grew amusedly contemptuous as he regarded Marshall, who was accosting heartily; then of a sudden the Master Mind's face set itself in alarm. He spoke with authority. "Mr. Walawright will come you," he said briefly to the discussion. Michael served in the Army under Mr. Washburn's orders and following his instructions. Otherwise the situation would be different. "He grew up faithfully. "I guess you understand that." Andrew did not trouble himself to reply. It was Washburn who reinforced the command. Andrew then continued, "It was at this hour of the morning, mr. Wainwright," he said, with profound selemnity, "that my brother died—that he was put to death. Well, str, the time agreed on between us has come. What is your choice?" Wainwright spoke very quietly, firmly, yet with a sadness that told the greatness of his sacrifice. "You leave me no choice," he said simply. "You have won. I shall retire from public life." "Today, you remember." "I remember—today." Leonardo started up. "No, not!" she breathed wildly. She went swiftly to her husband and placed her two hands on his shoulders and looked down into his face with her eyes twin times of duky azure, burning through a mist of tears. "Oh, my dear, you can't--you can't! No, I say, you shan't! I can't let you do this dreadful thing--no, no! Oh, let me go instead--you must! I can't spot your life like this, dear. Let me go--let me go!" Wainwright ordered the three crooks and the detective to leave the room. In Wainwright's eyes shone unutterable love for the beautiful woman whose heart was so torn by anguish brought upon her through love of him. As leapt he must strive to comfort her to安慰 her grief, since her love remained to him. As for this other thing, it was after all, by comparison, a little thing. Yet, even as he thought so, it was with difficulty that he checked the groan that rose to his lips. It is no light thing to tear out by the roots the honorable ambition of a strong man's lifetime. The husband's voice was colorless. "What would be the use?" he said saddly. "As to your leaving me, why, wherever you might go I should follow." The wife buried her face in her hands and shook with sobbing. "There, there," he cried mottily, distraught by her agony. He stood up and drew her, into his arms, crossing her hair with exquisite tenderness in the gentle touch of his fingers "Hush, hush, darling." Don't you know, Lucene, that I have you, and so nothing—nothing also, matters!" The scene failed somehow to give its evil genius the bells he had thought to find in it. This lover's rapture made a mock of his vengeance. Yet, even as he inscribed this to himself, Andrew knew in his soul that he lied; that the venom of his punishment was even stronger than he had guessed to poison the well of his enemy's hopes and his vulture would increase, not lessen. Nevertheless there was disappointment to him here in the hour of triumph. He had gained all for which he had driven—yes, all! And something more—the misery of Lucene! In a fury of rage against his own weakness Andrew thrust the thought of Lucene from him. His voice broke gratingly. "Your resignation in writing, Mr. Waltwright, if you please." Wet/wet right, stale, flatteny. "I will write it in my study at once and bring it to you here. Come with me, Lucie." Abruptly, violently, the wife tore herself from his arms. As he rested motionless, amazed, the darted to Andrew, clutched his wrist in her two hands, when he would have recalled involuntarily before this onslaught of the woman he had wounded. Her voice came softly, haltingly, painfully weighted with the burden of love tragedy. The violet eyes, humid, tender, infinitely pathetic in their pleading, met his ere he could turn his gaze aside and hold him in their spell. "Oh, Andrew," she cried, "I have trusted you I have loved you! Because of that I have tried to think how you could do this terrible thing to me." "Must we go into that now?" the man demanded roughly as she paused. He felt his strength slipping from him. He felt his wrath leaping high, wrath against himself, against fate—not against her. "Yes, we must," she said bravely. "I may never speak to you again! I have tried to think what it could be and now—now I know! I understand at last. It was because you loved your brother so much—because you loved him so that nothing else mattered at all, isn't that it, Andrew." "Yes, that is it," he answered bookily. "But don't you see—don't you see?" she questioned with the fierceness of one bereaved. "You're hated the man I love. And because you think he sacrificed your brother whom you loved now you will sacrifice me in the same way. Don't you see, Andrew." Her eyes probed the furthest recesses of his soul. They tortured him with their polignant reproach, yet he could not turn from them so great was the strength of her weakness. But, though he understood too well, he still struggled impotently against him, against a self he thought dead. "No, no," he chimmed. "No, I—Locnee went on: "You can't run his life, Andrew, without ruining mine too. You can't you can't!" Her voice's made rouse throbbing. "Don't you care what becomes of me, Andrew? Do you know you are turning my love into hate? You don't want that. Oh, you don't I know you don't, Andrew. You are not going to tell me now that hate, not love, is to rule your life and mine. Oh, surely, Andrew, you are not going to send me through the rest of my life having you as you have heard him—not that! No, Andrew, you can't—tell you, you can't!" Slowly, at last, the life dripped over Andrew's eyes. He turned his head to little, with a movement of hands. When the life were lifted again, he looked full into the eyes of weight, and his own were flushed in his eyes, mourned a man of remonstrance against deformity. "I've lusted you for years," he said quietly, "as you know very well. You are aware also that my hatred of you has been my railing passion since its beginning. 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."

As a matter of fact he was the only law between manly and state government. The little man who rid the country of him are unable to do it, the state government up to the rank, which they have made. THE ANNOUNCEMENT that Her Elder Root of New York is the chair of the Republican leader. For President of the United States is highly significant. Although he is cold and almost unapproachable to the rank and the and touches the a mighty oak above His associates, we regard him as one of the greatest statesmen this country has ever produced. He has announced his retirement from politics and there is every reason to believe that he meant what he said Just why the Republican politicians should demand that he reenter the arena from which he has just retired would seem to indicate that he is the only great Republican leader, who can bring harmony at this time to all factions, that have divided the Grand Old Party. The declaration of ex President Roosevelt, that he will support any decent Republican that may be nominated against President Wilson would seem to indicate that the Progressives will help the Republicans return to power, but in doing so will maintain their present organization. Their evident intention will be to increase their number of representatives in Congress while at the same time, they endeavor to get as many of their principles as possible put into effect by the National Republican Party of the nation. If President Wilson is reelected, it will be on account of the fact that no candidate of presidential size can be found to run against him. STATUE TO WENDELL PHILLIPS A LOS ANGELES STATE to Wendell Phillips was unveiled in the Public Garden, at Boston, Mass., Monday, July 5, 1915 before a large audience. John C. Phillips, Jr., great, grand nephew of the celebrated orator, unveiled the statue Wendell Phillips was one of the greatest orators that ever lived. His orations are masterpieces and rank with the most remarkable deliverances of any age. He was a humanitarian and a scholar and he delighted in championing the cause of the oppressed. So obsessed did he become in these movements that his personal safety was forgotten. He braved mobs and defied governments in his enthusiasm in advancing great principle. The --- colored people of this country owe to him a debt of gratitude and it is a source of pride for us to learn that so many of them did honor to his memory. The monument, a masterpiece, by Daniel Chester French, the sculptor, represents the great abolitionist standing at a reading desk, his right hand resting upon the desk, his left outstretched and holding a bit of a broken letter. Upon the marble background above the head of the statue are the words, "Whether in chains or in laurels, liberty knows nothing but victory." On the pedestal in front are the words in raised bronze letters. On the reverse side of the background is this quotation from Philippe: "I love inexpressibly these streets of Boston, over whose pavements my mother hold up tenderly my baby feet, and if God grants me time enough I will make them too pure to bear the footsteps of a slave."

Simpson of Albany who has been the guest of Miss. Sarah Vanderpool of No. 2169 6th, Ave. of this city has returned home. Mr. Daniel Discor's family has gone to Round Lake for the summer. Julia Adams, a 17-year-old colored girl residing at 1533 Eight avenue, was painfully burned in the yard in the rear of her home this morning. Apparently her clothing caught fire from a bonfire she had started 2, mong refuse in her yard and before she realized her danger she was enveloped in flame. Neighbors assisted in putting out the fire, but not until the girl had been severely burned. Dr. Grady fas called and he hurried the unfortunate girl to the Troy hospital. The doctor said she was burned from her feet to her shoulders, and while her face was not affected her hair was ignited. The Oswald hoose and Glennon hoose and ladder company answered still alarms, but the services of the firemen were not needed. Russell E. T. Walker a Free Man (Continued From 1st Page.) came down holding his hands in front of him, saying that he had been up on the roof with Russell. He had not seen anybody up there. There was something behind a chimney some houses away. I looked like a door but Russell thought it was a man. He thought that it was all imagination. When I left him at the door, he asked if he could keep this pistol until tomorrow. I told him yes, I had no use for it. ASSEED TO KEEP PISTOL. In reply to question he said. He did not want to trust himself or his son on the roof without a pistol. Arnistead Walker acted. Though he had the pistol in his pocket, I heard the shot fired in less than two minutes. Since that time, I have been able to walk from the Walker home to my front door in less than two minutes. Mr. Folkes. Did Russel make any statement to you within three months as to whether there was any hatred between himself and his father. Russel said to me during day. He was working on a building on Second St some time since Christmas. His father had made a very disparing remark to him. Mr. Turner demurred. It was agreed that the statement should be made to Jürgen (Arnistead). This was March or April at the truth. I spoke to Arnistead. Arnistead and Jürgen he did not know anything about it. After Jürgen would not have told him anything about it. Love heard Mr. Pearl say it, Dr. Cromwell at Mr. J. D. Miller say it Love heard indeed, who saw Love hear it Were love have heard! I came at 11 E. Lehigh St. I live up to the Mrs. Walker's resident. I was on show on the 20th of June. I occupied the front room upstairs. I saw a man in a neighbor's house. Roy Johnson's house. Also Roy Graham's house. The man was in his shirt sleeves. He knew a detail short. It was round and I had part eight. I did not send a letter immediately. It was too soon. It was given to him and the boy between will post eight and nine. I think I was about a quarter to ten. I think I saw him cross the street as the young lady came from downstairs. I told her what. It was about five minutes after I saw that I read the message. I felt like I was like the report of an in-law takeover before I read the message. I saw a man on top of the house the night before. Mr Smith dwell on the but was taken back when she said that this man was the officer who had once she learned to investigate the report that burglars were on the house. The house was heard by me before I soft my boy over there. As soon as my boy delivered the message, Mrs. Walker rushed into the house. Alexander James testified. About quarter to nine, I was coming down First and Laugh, I heard a lengthy report from a tire or a pistol. A lady told me when I got near my home that my mother wanted me to go over to Mrs Walkers, that one was on top of the house. I did not hear but one report. Russell said something but I didn't know what he said. W H. Jackson testified. Mr Pollard. Did you ever hear accused make any statement about his father? About eight or ten days, as near as I can remember, I went on a job with the two Walkers. His father did not show up. He said he expected to go away and he did not ever expect to work in Richmond any more. I never heard Russell Walker make any threats against his father. This is all that I know. I asked him what was the trouble. W.H. Jones testified. I think that it was the same day that he told Jackson. He came in Bob Nelson's bar room and I took a drink. He came in at the same time and asked if I would take a drink. I told him I would take a drink. I told him I didn't mind. Russell said he was tired at the old man talking after him about working. He was going to kill somebody and go out of Richmond. He didn't have to work as long as his old lady had a dollar. I told him not to talk that way. Attorney Smith was lining up Wm. H Jones on his testimony before the Coroner's jury and the fact was demonstrated that he had not signed the statement. Albert Triebhey testified: On the Sunday evening of the killing Russell made a remark that he was going to kill the s—ofb—before long. He had been talking about his father. Russell was speaking about him and his father had had some words. Mr. Folkes remarked that the Commonwealth is not required to prove motive. It was only necessary to show probable cause. It was in the Richmond Athletic and Social Club on the Sunday evening of the killing. He and his father had had some words and he was tired of it and that he was going to kill the s—ofb—before long. I went down the street and later between nine and ten. I heard that he had killed his father. I had a conversation with him between five and six o'clock. Mr. Pollard: Judge, do you know what a— of b— means? Justice Crutchfield responded with emphasis on yes. Then followed a wrangling discussion in which Attorney H. M. Smith, Jr., Commonwealth Attorney Folkes, Attorney J. H. Pollard and Justice Crutchfield engaged. Tribbey was allowed to read the statement made before the Coroner's jury. Justice Crutchfield proceeded to rule stating that he wanted to know the facts. If the accused is guilty, he should be detruncted and if he is innocent, he should be acquitted. Tribbey said that he is butler for Mrs. W. K. Cox. Ira Cousins said: I heard Russell Walker make a remark on Sunday evening, June 20. on Second and Jackson Sts. He said he was going to kill a man and leave town. I was only on the corner talking to some other men. I do not know to whom he was referring. He had not made any remark concerning his father. It was just before the rain. Russell Walker looked碧 to me. He was standing against a post. Officer P. L. Wills testified: I got to the Walker residence about ten minutes after nine. Mr. Harrold and I were walking the beat together, we were standing near Second and Jackson Sts. when we heard a report. We thought it was an automobile fire. We walked up to the box and stood until 9.12. I pulled in a box and went around to the Walker home after some one had asked us if we had heard of the shooting. The door was locked. Somebody peeped through the door. I asked what was going on. Dr. Harris told me that Armistead had been shot. I found the body on the back porch. I started back through the hall. I asked of young Dr. Harris who killed him. He said, Mission. He told me that he was in a room. We took Russell out on an enclosed porch. We asked him if he killed his father. He said, Yes. I asked him where was the pistol. He said it was in an urn. Dr. Harris got the pistol. Russell said, I killed my father and I cannot face my mother again. He broke down. He used to flash light. It was too dark for him to see anything at the time. Dr. H. L. Harris, Jr. testified: I reached the Walker residence some time after nine o'clock, probably before I was at my mother's law, but I leashed St. when a message came that Armand Walker had been shot, please come and see if I could do any thing for him. I first struck a match and then borrowed a lamp, which lamp remained out on the porch. I was there when Sergeant Wildfire arrived. I got the shot. Ruel said, oh my God, I've killed my father. I can't see mother, I can't see anybody. I've killed my father. He was hysterical. He returned to see his brother or his mother she didn't want to see any of them, because he had killed his father. I was trying to get him compounded and to sleep. I finally drugged him to sleep. I did not phone for an officer. I phoned for the corpier Mr. Walker had requested me to surrender Rowell. I tried to get the officers to get in Mrs. Walker's car and go to the station house. I phoned for Mr. Smith. I did this in order that he might get ball. At the time I got there it would not have been possible to have the I in the hell and recognize any one on the back porch. Officer J. H Harris testified that he went to the house that might but he did no go at once on the back porch I had been there for a minute before I went there. There was no right on the porch when I was there. There was light when the corpier was there MRS. MAGGIE L. WALKER TESTIFIED Jutson Cratchfield. Your son is here charged with killing your husband. On Saturday night just before midnight my son aroused me saying that he had seen two men--going up the ladder to the roof. He had glimpsed the first but he saw the last. The boy said he saw men on the roof, Dr. W. T. Johnson said that he had seen men on the roof. Dr Johnson telephoned to the station house and two policemen came and went to the roof. They could find no one on the roof. They said if we needed them let them know and that they would render any service. On Sunday, we were all upset about the happenings the previous night. Mr. B. F. Turner came to the house with Russell saying that 'he had brought the revolver. I said that I had not had a pistol in my house for 50 years but if Armistead wanted it he could let it remain. Mr. Turner went out and I went out on the front and white sitting there with Russell standing at my side. Mrs. James boy came across the street and told me that there was a man on top of my house. Russell ran immediately upstairs and shortly afterwards he came down stairs and said that 'I got him. I got him.' I said got whom. 'The man. He is on the back porch. I got up and went up on the back porch and found my husband lying on the back porch dead. I knew it was my husband by intuition: Russell staggered back and he said I've killed my father. When the detectives came in my incitement I said that there were two pistols. I know that Armistead had a pistol and when I knew that Russell had shot his father I thought that he must have had a pistol. Jutice Crutchfield; What was the relationship between your son and father that Sunday, "Most friendly" was the reply. Jutice Crutchfield; What was the relationship between you and your husband? "Most Friendly," was the reply. Jutice Crutchfield, Did you ever have any disagreements. Mrs. Walker; I lived with him 28 years. Jutice Crutchfield; I don't mean that. How was your family relationship? Of course we had our spats but our relationship was most friendly. Mr. Polkes; Didn't you say at the time of the shooting, Russell, I told you not to do it? Mrs. Walker; Nor sir I did not. Attorney Pollard conducted the cross examination at this point: I did not see Russell until I joined him to go to the funeral, Dr. Harris kept him in bed. That evening, my mother was out on the stoop and Pelle Anderson Payne. My mother is not here because she is a paralytic and her mind is not the best. My son told me that when he left me he ran upstairs two steps at a time and went into his father's room, got the pistol out of his father's room ran down the hallway and stood just inside of the bath room and fired the shot. I think I preceded Mr. Turner out of the house and left Mr. Turner and my husband coming out. My son came on out behind them, and came on around and stood by me. I gave my con sent that a pistol could be there in my husband's possession. I told Sergeant Wiltshire that there were two pistols. My husband and son had not had any words or disagreements on that Sunday. They were certainly friendly. POLLY ANDERSON PAYNE TESTI FIES I was at Mrs. Walker's talking to her about the burglar's the night before. Mrs. James' boy came over and told her that there was a man on the top of the house. Russell ran upstairs and the shot followed. Mrs. Walker and I went up there. Mr. Walker was lying on the porch floor. It was to dark to tell who it was. I fumbled around and got a match. I saw Mr. Turner leave the house. Judge Crutchfield: Doe Counsel wish to say anything? Mr. Smith? We have nothing to say. Mr. Folkes; we have nothing further to say. Judge Crutchfield: "The case is dismissed." JACKSON DAVIS, GENERAL FIELD AGENT, SPEAKS TO NE GRO TEACHERS. Tuskegee, Alabama, July 8 Special To The Richmond Planet Declaring that when one simply "holds his own", standing where he stood twenty years ago, is tantamount to "losing out" that the presence of large numbers of Negro teachers in Summer School is a hopeful sign for the race; that educational activities in Virginia during the last year show colored industrial teachers at work in thirty five counties teaches more than half the Negroes in the Rural Schools of the State that 200,000 appropriated as a special fund for Rural Schools has resulted in extending the school term among Negroes in the rural districts, an average of six months, that 1,200 of the 2,200 Negro teachers of the State attended the Summer Schools and that many new school buildings have been built, country training schools for teachers have been established, the Negro Organization Society and home makers club and School leagues have done remarkable work during the year, Mr. Jackson Davis, of Richmond Va. General Agent of the Edderton Board, New York, ripe Wednesday morning to the teachers attending the Tuskegee Institute Summer School which has enrolled to dates 127 teachers from fourteen states. Mr. Davis also stated that in one county of Va. Hitteracy of the Negro race had been reduced from 36 per cent to 50 per cent; $1,500 was contributed for industrial work among Negroes by Hampton Institute, the Deans tent and counties, and that 140 teachers have attended the Summer School at Hampton Institute and 325 enrolled at Petersburg. The speaker stated that 26 Negro supervising Industrial teachers at work in 29 counties with 695 Rural schools, built 24 new schools at a cost of $2,000 15 schools have been enlarged at a cost of $4,000, 41 schools painted, 89 whitewashed, 175 withouthouses built, 487 schools use individual drinking cups 645 school improvement leagues organized, and $31,000 raised by Negroes alone for new school buildings, extending school term and for school improvements.

The colored people of the rural districts under the guidance of the Jeanes Supervising teachers, the Home Makers Clubs and the Organization Society, are beginning to find themselves and a new civilization is dawning. The leagues bring old people to the schools and the results are very gratifying. Mr. Davis spoke also of the work of the supervising agents in placing delinquent boys in homes and that recently boys were picked up in the streets of Richmond and given homes among white and colored people and that one of these boys made sixty dollars for a small tobacco patch. He said a leading white lady of Richmond has started a canvass for $10,000 to help in the work of uplift among Negroes of Va. This lady Miss Agnese Randolph, is succeeding well in her work or philanthropy. Prof. J. R. E. Lee, Director, said the message of hope brought to the teachers by these white visitors has given the teachers a new and broader vision of their work and expressed the thanks of the teachers. Mr. H.

REPAIN WORK NEATLY DONE. HOURS—9 TO 6. TRAGLE BLDG—2D FLOOR New York, July 11:—Leaving for California tonight, Col. Roosevelt made clear that he regards the country in such a serious situation through the mistakes of President Wilson's administration that he will support any do-ment Republican who runs against him—by which is meant a Republican whose reactionary talent and tendency is not of the ultimate or the penultimate degree. To the Colonel's mind, Wilson has shown himself to be a "second Buchanan." The attitude of the administration on foreign matters has been to the colonel "inconceivable," and more important still, the failure of the administration to make military and naval preparation for the crisis that it now faces is, in his own cogent phrase "nothing less than criminal." NOT BACK IN REPUBLICAN PARTY The colonel has not gone back to the Republican party. He resents that misinterpretation of his attitude. He believes that it is not a time for men to worry about political ties. At the same time regards it as not impossible that the Republican Party may make the mistake of putting up some man of so reactionary a character that it would be impossible for him to support the Republican. But if the Republicans do not make the mistake of putting up some man who is a slap in the face at the four millions who voted for him in 1912, Roosevelt will gladly join in the battle to oust the man he calls the second Buchanan. DISAGREES WITH FORECAST. The colonel's attention was called to the recent forecast of Hilles, McCombe and Perkins. All agreed that there would be four candidates in the field in 1916. The colonel, however, was not inclined to take those statements very seriously. He does not believe the Bryan movement is important. Moreover, he does not want to see so many tickets in the field that there will be danger of Wilson winning. --- GOVERNMENT AND STATE OPEN HOSPITAL TO SAVE VISION OF SOUTHWEST CITIZENS SUFFERING FROM DANGEROUS DISLASE RICHMOND, VA., July 7, 1915 (Special) Officers of the State Board of Health have just returned from Cochurn where they attended the opening of the free hospital at which the State and United States Public Health Service are to center their activities for the treatment and prevention of trachoma. The hospital was ready to receive patients on July 1st, and is expected soon to be in full operation. Dr John McMullen, of the United States Public Health Service, is in direct charge of the hospital, the expenses being shared by the U.S. Government the State and town of Cochurn, which supplied the building. The opening of this hospital marks the second stage in a campaign which sanitizes regard as one of the most unusual developments in public health during the last few years. Prior to 1812 this contagious disease of the eyelids, which often causes blurred vision and sometimes leads to blindness was supposed to have left America almost immune. But reports began to reach authorities of cases in the Allegheny mountains with the result that surges of the Public Health Service were sent on a careful tour of Inspection, first through the mountains of Kentucky and then through East Tennessee, Southwest Virginia and Western North Carolina. To their astonishment these officers found traveen children showed signs of beginning trachma. A more detailed inspection made in Southwest Virginia last summer by officers of the State Board of Health, in conjunction with the Federal Service, showed several counties to be particularly affected. Representations were then made the Federal government for cooperation in the establishment of a hospital for the free treatment of the disease. This appeal was met with prompt compliance, but it was deemed best not to attempt the opening of a hospital until summer when the mountain roads would be in good condition and the people could travel to the hospital without difficulty. Wise County and town of Cochurn showed a lively interest in the proposal to open a hospital and generously cooperated in the enterprise by supplying a suitable building. Arrangements have now been completed, the hospital is open and trachoma patients will be given the best treatment, under trained surgeons of white experience, without any expence whatever. In addition to the treatment of cases, the State Health authorities plan that the new hospital shall carry on a campaign or prevention. Trachoma it is stated, is communicable. The pus from an inflicted eye may be carried by towels and the like to the eyes of others who develop this disease. Dr. McMullen and his assistants will emphasize these facts and will distribute literature especially prepared by the Federal government and the State Board of Health. HUSBAND. WHO SHOT HER. WILL SHORTLY BE MOVED FROM HOSPITAL. ..... Mrs. Leah Ines Smoot, of 1701 West Main Street, who was dangerously shot by her husband, Joseph Eldridge Smoot last Tuesday night, is slowly recovering from her wounds, and the husband will soon be so far recovered as to be able to stand the removal to the City Jail hospital. A letter, signed "Leah," in which the young wife expressed dissatisfaction at her new home surroundings, was turned over by the Virginia Hos pital authorities passing by the police, and is now in the hands of Detective Sergeant Wily. Smoot said that he was unable to read, and stated further that he had no recollection of receiving the note. Smoot is only twenty one years of age and his wife is but eighty. The shooting is supposed to have resulted from a domestic misunderstanding. Times. Dispatch July 13, 1915 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR BUREAU OF EDUCATION. EVERY CHILD A CITIZEN. How one community trains its children for the responsibilities of the citizenship is described in a bulletin just issued by the U. S. Bureau of Education on "Civic Education in Elementary Schools as Illustrated in Indiana." "The practice in the Indianapolis schools," says Arthur W. Dunn, author of the bulletin, "is to help the pupil to understand the nature of his own community life, his dependence upon it, and his responsibility for it; to develop a right attitude toward government as the means by which all members of the community may cooperate for the common interest; and to cultivate habits of right action as a member of the community." The bulletin emphasizes the fact that "civics is not taught as a separate subject until the eight grade, but that civic education is a phase of all the work of the schools. The aim seems to be to make of education, not a process of instruction in a variety of subjects, but a process of growth, during which the various relations of life are unfolded." Incidentally it is pointed out that that "there is no 'subject' of ethics or moral education in the Indianapolis schools, but the direct moral training afforded by the course here outlined is particularly virile. So, also, while there is no attempt to give direct vocation training in the street sense of this term, not even any organized form of 'vocational guidance' evertheless the fact is always taken into account that the citizen must be a worker and the worker a citizen." Instruction through the course of study is, however, only a part of the training for citizenship given in the so schools. "An understanding of community life and government," declares Mr. Dunn, "is fruitless without the cultivation of qualities and habits of good citizenship. Instruction and training must go hand in hand. The latter is largely a matter of practice. Pupil participation in school management is a very real thing in Indianapolis, and in some schools it is carried to a high degree of effectiveness. It manifests itself in the method of preparing and conducting recitations; in the care of school property; in protecting the rights of younger children, in maintaining the sanitary conditions of the building and grounds; in beautifying school grounds; in making of repairs and equipment for "our school;" in fact, in every aspect of the school life. In Indianapolis pupil participation in the government of the school heads naturally into pupil participation in the larger civic life of the community of which the school itself is a part. Maintaining order on the streets in the vicinity of the school. It is common for committees of older boys to look after the safety of the younger children crossing streets near the school. Solitude for the cleanliness and beauty of school grounds develops equal solitude for the cleanliness and beauty, or adjoinning streets, alleys, and vacant lots. School gardening quickly stimulates home gardening, and whole neighborhoods have been transformed through the influence of th schools. Whether the children who are now undergoing this training for citizenship will in reality be efficient citizens 10 or 20 years hence can not be foretold, according to Mr. Dunn. But he adds: "There is apparently ample evidence that they are better citizens now, and moreover, that the present civile life of the city is appreciably affected by it. Where immediate results are so apparent and so far-reaching, the effect upon future citizenship should certainly be appreciable." --- NOTICE All persons desiring to go to the Nat ional Convention in Chicago in a special car (a sleeper) will write me at once that we may arrange for the same.

Detective Sergeants Wiley and Kelam, from city police headquarters, with Officers Shoenmaker and Tiller, of the Huntrie County constabulary, spent the entire day yesterday at Lake side Park in an effort to clear up the mystery that still surrounds the death of Joseph Kranitzky, whose body, weighted down with broken concrete, was found in the lake at this resort last Monday night. Although County Policeman—Tiller, who has devoted much labor to the case, was more convinced than ever yesterday that Kranitzky was murdered, no conclusive proof of this theory was brought to light. The county officer was strengthened in his belief that the man was the victim of an assassin, by a talk he had with Jacob Childrey, manager of the country place of Miss Grace Arents, adjoining the park, who told the policeman that he found the boat, which was adrift on the lake Thursday morning on the Arents' side of the water, drawn up on the shore about five feet. FINDING OF BOAT ON LAND STRENGTHENS MURDER THEORY If the theory is correct that this boat was the one in which Krantzky was conveyed to the spot where his body was found, the statement of Mr. Childrey strengthens the murder supposition. The boat could not have drifted to the opposite side of the lake and encroached so far on the land of its own accord. Mr. Childrey found the boat on his land and, assuming that it was pulled ashore and left there by some one who had hired it rowed it across the lake and left it at the little wooden boat-house pier between two other boats. It is supposed that it then worked ashore and drifted out a short distance to the point where it was seen Thursday morning by Tyree Watkins. Taking no theory for granted, the city detectives devoted their main efforts yesterday to a search for the revolver with which the man was killed. County Officer Shoemaker made numerous divas to the bottom at the spot where the body was found, without locating the weapon. IF SUICIDE, THE GUN CANNOT BE FAR AWAY "If it was suicide," said Captain of Detectives McMahon, discussing the case yesterday at headquarters, the pistol with which Krantzky killed himself can't be far from the point at which the body was found. The body was weighted by the kettle of rocks and settled permanently at the point at which it was found as soon as the man toppled out of the boat. The pistol in all probability dropped in the water by his side. "Of course, if it was murder, the revolver was carried away. The gun would offer too dangerous a clue to the owner for any murderer to leave behind. We will continue our search for the revolver." —Richmond, Va. Times-Dispatch, July 10, 1915. THE SMOOT CASE. Richmond Va. Journal July 7, 1915 It was stated today at the residence of Mrs. Mary Smoot, 2014 West Cary Street, mother of Joseph Eldrick Smoot that the husband believed that his wife was receiving the attention or other men, one in particular named Willie White, said to be in the employ of the Union News Company. Letters said to have been found by the husband in his wife's trunk were addressed to Mrs. Smoot and bore the signature of White. Late yesterday afternoon Smoot came to his mother's home. "Well what do you know, mother?" he said on entering. * "I don't know anything. I don't see anything and I don't hear anything." answered Mrs. Smoot. * "Well I know something. I've heard something and I've seen something." and with that he went out again. Shortly after 7:30 o'clock the phone rang and was answered by Mrs Smoot. Her son was at the end of the wire. "Mother" he said "I am tired of it all and I am going to end it tonight. Hold the phone." "No Eldridge," pleaded Mrs Smoot "don't do that." She then heard the shots at the other end of the wire. It was reported from the Virginia Hospital at 10:30 this morning that there was no change whatever in the condition of Mrs. Smoot or of her husband. The condition of the young wife was stated as being extremely critical, while the husband was said to be about the same. No operation can be performed on Mrs Smoot at this time, as the physicians fear that this might hasten death, therefore mother of the bullets can be removed. The eighteen-year old wife and he in adjoining rooms at the hospital. Bandaging about five feet from his with, Joseph Hiridge direct, twenty two pounds old fired two shots at her from a M-24 caliber revolver last night about 1:49 o'clock as they stood in the bedroom at their home 1707 West Main Street. The first bullet struck Mrs. Snoot on the left side of her head, just at the base of the brain, while the second bullet entered her body under the left arm and lodged, it is belooved, near her left lung. Smoot had been talking over the telephone to his mother, Mrs R. L. Smoot, of 2014 West Cary Street, a few minutes before he fired the shots. "I am going to put an end to it all," he told his mother over the phone, after which he wrapped the wire connecting the phono receiver around the mouthpiece, and then, pointing the revolver directly at his wife, pulled the trigger twice. TURNED PISTOL ON HIMSELF. No soon or had the echo of the shots died out than Smoot turned the platoon upon himself, alming at his head, and fired three times. He must have been greatly excited, as the first two shots flow harmlessly past his head. The third bullet how over struck him over the left eye, plowing its way deep under the skin of his forehead. John Smoot a brother of the young husband; Mrs. John Smoot and Mrs. Tinsley, a sister of Mrs. John Smoot, were seated on the front porch of the house when the shooting occurred. John Smoot rushed to the bed rooms on hearing the shots and pushing open the door, found his brother standing with his back towards the door, with the smoking revolver in his hand. The room was entirely dark then, the blinds, being drawn and the folding doors that led to the room occupied by Mr. and Mrs. John Smoot being tightly closed. "I told you all that you couldn't live together," said John as he entered the room: He grasped his brother around the body and tried to wrest the revolver from his grasp. Eldridge. Smoot however is somewhat larger than his brother and a great deal stronger, and he fought fiercely to keep hi; brother off and fire the remaining bullet. Struggling together the brothers came out into the hallway Eldridge backed his brother up against a refrigerator and tried to pull away but the latter caught hold of his clothing with one hand and kept the other hand on the pistol. Locked together, the two men stumbled towards the front door, where John finally wrenched the pistol from his brother and laid it on the railing of the front porch. During the struggle, Eldridge had repeatedly asked his brother to let go. "Don't treat me like this, John, the young man said, 'I want to die.'" WIFE DIDN'T LOSE CONSCIOUSNESS. Though weak from loss of blood, Mrs. Smoot never loss consciousness and she followed the struggling men to the front door, with the assistance of the wife of her husband's brother. Standing in the hallway, with the blood dripping from the gaping wound in his forehead, Smoot placed his arms around his wife. "You made me do it, Leah," he said. "I just couldn't stand it any longer." "John," Smoot told his brother, "if you had not interfered you would never have had to bother with me any more." Pending arrival of the city ambulance, the young husband and his wife were carried to the kitchen of the house, where their wounds were bathed. "Look out for Leah; dout bother with me, John." Smoot told his brother, while the injury on his forehead was being bathed. Both Smoot and his wife walked to the ambulance without any assistance. Smoot having his arms around his girlbride. MARRIED BUT FOUR MONTHS It was only four months ago that Smoot and his wife, who was Miss Leah Moles were married. From a statement made by the brother the young couple had never lived peacefully, trouble constantly arising between them. The husband had repeatedly accused his wife of not being loyal to him, and several times before the shooting he had announced that unless his wife acted differently he was going to put an end to it. Yesterday afternoon the young wife went to the home of her mother, Mrs. Susie McGryory, who lives at 2014 West Cary Street. She was a constant visitor at the home of her mother and Mrs. McGryory, states that each time her daughter would bring tales of trouble between herself and her husband. Mrs. McGryory declares that young Smoot was insanely jealous of his wife, and that she had heard him threaten to kill his bride on several occasions. "Loah came to me yesterday and told of further trouble," said Mrs. Mc Grory. "She took supper with me and helped wash the dishes. After we had finished supper one of my little daughters came to me and told me that Eldridge was at the door Loah went to the door and Eldridge grabbed her and carried her off. Arriving at his home Young Smoot went straight to the bedroom with his wife. It was hardly fifteen minutes later before the shots were heard by the people on the porch. The room was in darkness during the shooting except for a faint light that came through the blinds from the street lights in the back of the house. Smoot kept the revolver in a drawer of the dresser. He always had it loaded. A Colt revolver, or thirty-two calibre, was stored away in a trunk in the other room, but this was unloaded. FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH CORNER MONROE AND CATHERINE SREETS.

City Agents:—Located in various parts of St. Louis and suburbs, and who are doing so much to spread the great work of "PORO" System, at their home and by appointment. 2. Matrons and Shipping Force:—Women, who have the oversight of the building and grounds and men who handle enormous shipments of in-bound and out-bound stock. 3. The Office Force:—Girls who handle the correspondence of more than three thousand representatives. 4. The Instructors and Malt Force:—The young ladies in the instructing and Operating Departments are so thorough in the scientific and sanitary training of scalp and hair treatment that by their assistance persons entering the College receive instructions in detail. Those who take care of the matting are familiar with maps of the Parcel Post Guide directing the mail to all parts of this and for an country. This institution has done, and is doing, a great work in St. Louis and throughout the country. Looking back fifteen years, the date it was founded, there was not a school of its kind in existence; it is the center from which have sprung thousands of brunches; it is the source from which so many hundreds of girls and women have forged their way to the heights so proudly attained; its principle. Its system and its training are the cardinal points which have lent so much in making this school famous. The "PORO" System is one which appeals to each individual, for every man and woman, boy and girl, is interested in the sanitary condition of his or her scalp and hair, and the most effective way by which this can be done is the scientific manner as is found alone in this system. In Mrs. A. M. Pope-Turner Malone, the founder, we have a centre; one who can build a business of such magnitude must do so at a sacrifice. She has given to her women the only systematic method of scalp and hair treatment, protecting them by a system of contracts and diplomas, and giving to the numberless patrons the results they have spent so much time and money in search of. She is accomplishing her one chief aim, to push her girls and women further. In her unassuming manner, she is easily the one woman in her profession.

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 We The People to the the United States have house of modern and of the lower levels of the National Sentence in 2021 is a "the house with a house" in the rate and a practiced head of about beds of flowers and leading an "on-site" north-to-north where he's set up on the the step of the land and and�, and a young and a very bush or two of the people in position. A lot of life has been caused by the use of stay home by the day driving, and the day followed up the drive. He's my card and car only that the behind him is to want to the house. Then Mr. Wu appeared we began to question 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." --- I am sorry, but the image provided is a logo or a logo, not a chart or graph.

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." "You have some basic for the philosophy." "I have" "What is there" "Verstarlations" "Are you still a贷款者?" "Certainly!" Mr. Wm was as "I would like to know when I will go to the bank." "Why did I go to the bank?" "I can't write a letter to the bank in the month I get a letter of month in the month of March." "I would like to know if there is any other location in the bank." "I don't know the conditions I have when I go to the bank because I have a lot of time." "Why did I go to the bank?" "I can't write a letter to the bank." "I can't write a letter to the bank because I have a lot of time." 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."

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.

Howard Orphanages begins Campaign for New Building National Negro Business League in Boston will be Notable session ```markdown ``` (Washington National News Bureau) (Corvallis, W. and St.) New York City, June 6, 1915. The Negroes of this big city did not forget the part they played in brainstorming about independence for the nation as the result they shared in the widespread celebration which was notable in the city. 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.
