The Leading Weekly Journal in the State. Medium Which Reaches Every Colored Home. VOLUME XXXII, NO. 36 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JULY 24, 1915 PRICE: FIVE CENTS EDITOR MITCHELL TRAVELS I left Richmond, Tuesday, July 20 for Lynchburg via special excursion of the N. & W. R. R. Col. Thomas M. Crump was at the depot and, bid our party adieu. The train left at 11:30 A. M. A baseball team was on board. The game was to take place in Lynch- burg. Wednesday afternoon. In our party were Miss M. L. Chiles, Dr. E. R. Jefferson and Rev. L. J. Morris. ON CO LYNCHURG I reached Potterburg, where a large number of passengers were awaiting the arrival of the train. It was not long before I was on my way to Lynchburg. I went into the smoking compartment. Dr. Jefferson was experimenting with a thermos bottle. He did not understand the manipulation of it, but he learned how and the ice-cold contents soon rewarded him and his companions for their trouble. "THE BLUE BISON SOCIETY." It may be well to remark that the skillful physician does not retain now his membership in "The Blue Ribbon Society." While we conversed there a keen looking, quick-witted colored man entered. I figured his age to be 27 years, but he later admitted that he was 28. He wore a gold chain to which was attached a $20.00 gold piece. Above this was a $2.50 gold piece, which he wore as a pin. A PECULIAR CHARACTER He was in his shirt-sleeves, and to my remark that he was doing a risky thing, he laughingly said that he was able to take care of himself. His intimation was that other people were in more danger from him, than he would be from any of them. I sized him up as having run away from home and that he was a gambler. He admitted that I had again come dangerously near to sizing him up correctly. HAD MUCH EXPERIENCE. "I have been over the world," he said. "I lived at one time in Baltimore. I worked at one time for 60 cents per week and then for $1.00 per week. I became a jockey. I suppose you have heard of Jockey Everett. That's me. I made the dough on the races. One time I was down and out. They had a horse and I was offered the chance of riding him. He had thrown one of the best jockeys in the country. That jockey is doing time in the penitentiary for killing his wife. He caught her with a white man. Although he was a colored man, he is the best jockey in the country today. A DURICULT PROPOSITION "I knew if he could not stay on the horse, I couldn't do it. That horse was a mean one and had a way of 'going through the bushes.' Then I remembered that this jockey was at times charged up. I needed the dough and so when the owner offered me $50 to ride the horse, win or lose, and $75 if I won, I took the chance and I won $50. MADE MECH MONEY. "That put me on my feet. I rode him again and the owner gave me $100. I was in luck. Yes, I can play some. I know a little about poker." I looked at his fingers. They were apparently made to order for the purposes of a gambler. "I have seen much," he said. "My mother lives at Roanoke. I am going to see her. When she married again, I left home. Yes, I will do anything for money, provided it would carry a risk under ten years in the pen." I expressed regret that a man of his talent and ability should not use his gifts along the lines of legitimate business. He had a chance to be worth much money. "I am well-fixed," he said. He excused himself hurriedly. CLEANED UP THE CROWD Later, when I passed through the other car, he was engaged in a game of cards, possibly with one of his considerates. Later, I was informed that he had added many dollars to his pocket treasury. "Was that Mr. Mitchell?" he was reported to have enquired sometime afterwards. "I didn't know it. I wonder if he's going to write me up." I smiled at the information and then took back in a reverie. "A RACKAL FAULT." Hardheads of the brightest minds in the state are now found engaged in the uncontrollable production, where the events of highlight trade are disrupted through in local and national responses, as is the case in this particular instance. along the lines of upright living and future peace. A HKARTY REPAST. I had arrived at Lynchburg. The tall form of Sir J. B. Evans was seen on the platform. I led my "small army" to Mr. Strange's new Overland automobile and a short time afterward all of us were in the cosy home of Mr. and Mrs. U. S. G. Patterson, 1308 Wise Street. I enjoyed the fine dinner prepared and after reading a 'proof,' which I had brought with me. I was soon sleeping the sleep of the just.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIA8 A New Lodge in Lynchburg Lynchburg, Va., July 21.-Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr., instituted a new lodge of Knights of Pythias last night at Merchant's Hall.

The Insurance-The Accident Policy $10,000-Grand Jury to Investigate-Young Walker Leaves City-His Counsel Confident-Attorney Pollard's Predicament. The insurance on Armistead Walker, who was killed by his son Russell E. T. Walker, Sunday, June 20 1915 will approximate ($19,500) nineteen thousand five hundred dollars. Contrary to the report, the accident insurance policy is for ($10,000) instead of ($7,500) seven thousand five hundred dollars. Proof of death on this claim has been duly filed. It is now claimed that even had the murder charge been sustained unless Mrs. Maggiol L. Walker could be proven to be an accomplice payment on the policy could not be lawfully with-hold. A MATTER OF SPECULATION It is a matter solely of speculation as to what stops will be taken in the case. The action of Justice John J. Crutchfield in dismissing the case is only final, so far as the Police Court is concerned. The common, wealth's Attorney Mintirote Folkes can at any time lay the evidence before the Grand Jury of the Hunting Court and bring about the indictment of Russell E. T. Walker for murder. In the grand jury room only the witnesses for the prosecution are heard and counsel for the defense would be barred from entering. EVIDENCE WITH-HELD The fact that the Commonwealth Attorney did not put on all of the many witnesses that he had would seem to foreshadow some such move. He could set up the plea that witnesses were introduced who had not testified either before the coroner's jury or in the Police Court. It is reported that the evidence will certainly be had before the grand jury some time this month. Detective Sergeant Wiltshire and Detective Sergeant Bailey are outspoken in their opinions about the case and they are not disposed to accept the decision of the Police Court as final. The former was so disgusted that he threatened on the day of the hearing to retire from the case, claiming that he had not been given the proper support in running down the evidence. MANY COLORED FOLKS NOT SATISFIED. The feeling among the colored people is bitter against Russell E. T. Walker and many are outspoken in their opinion of the affair. The unfortunate young man is reported to have left the city with his wife last Saturday to recuperate. He looks wretched and the strain upon him must have been terrific. As for Attorney H. M. Smith, Jr. and Attorney J. Thomas Hewin, they are smiling and they treat lightly the report that there is a liability that their client will be arrested. They claim that the prosecution has broken down from the start and that there is no hope of a successful, onslaught upon the legal position which they now occupy. Attorney J. R. Pollard is a most interesting individual. He feels keenly the criticisms of his opponents and he promises yet to make good. His theory of the killing is remarkable. All he needs are witnesses to bear it but in its most important details. He claims that there are people who know and it is his effort now to have them tell all they know. The testimony of Mr. W. H. Jackson was a distinct disappointment to the prosecution, who claimed that his statement did not tally with what they expected him to testify. He did not know and should not remember many things that he wanted him to know and remember. ATTORNEY' POLLARD "THE RIP SAW." On last Monday cards were distributed bearing the following inscription, "Read The Rip Saw," an analysis of Crime in High Places. A critical Review of the "Walker Tragedy" and other five topic Solicitors Wanted, Apply to J. R. Pollard, Editor, Owner and Publisher 500 N. Bed St. Richard Va. In ready to quartern, Attached. Pollard was unsuccessful in their attempt to say that life journal would contain would hardly be published in the columns of the Planet. He declined to top to state where his cards were printed. It was remarkable to suppose that they did not come from the St. Luke Office. CAUSTIC CRITICISM He was sarcastic in his comment upon the failure of Russell E. T. Walker's counsel to put their client upon the witness stand at the Police Court remarking that Attorney Smith spoke for him and his mother spoke for him and although he was of age and married he did not speak for himself. "Whoever heard," said he "of a man accidentally killing another and then refusing to go on the stand and tell how it happened?" The logical deduction from all of this is that the end of the Walker case is in sight. J. R. Pollard, colorful attorney, was busy today rounding up witnesses which he said will testify before the next grand jury in the Walker killing case. "I have pretty nearly everything in readiness for the presentation of the prosecution side of the case to that body when it meets in special session July 26th," he said. Pollard is one of those who believe that the recent killing of Armitstead Walker, by his son, Russell E. T. Walker in the Walker home at 110 Leigh Street, was something more than an accident, although young Walker claimed that he shot his father by mistake for a burglar. In Police Court Russell Walker, when tried on a murder charge was dismissed. (Richmond Va. Evening Journal July 21, 1915.) --- Church Services—First Presbyterian Church.

CRUTCHFIELD FREES ALLEGED SNATCHER OF PURSE. --- Floyd Crews colored charged with being the prison snatcher who knocked down and robbed Mrs. Herman Taylor, 40s East Franklin great, several nights ago, was discharged from custody today in Justice Crutchfield's court. Mrs. Taylor was robbed in front of 9 North Sixth street. A $25 silver mesh bag containing a small sum of money was wrenched from her wrist after she had been felled by a blow from the robber's fist. She suffered several bruises as a result of her encounter with the thief. Although Mr. Taylor identified Crews as the robber the prisoner's counsel, Gilbert K. Pollock, put Detective Krengel and Atkinson on the stand to testify that she gave them a description of a noxo unlike Crews at the time of the robbery. In addition to this evidence in his favor, Crews offered the testimony of several negroes who swore he was in their company at the time the robbery was committed. In discharging Crews, Justice Crutchfield stated that if there was dissatisfaction with his verdict these interested in prosecuting the negro could lay their evidence before Commonwealth's Attorney Folkes with a view of having it presented to the grand jury, which body could indict Crews, if it saw fit notwithstanding the disposition of the case in police court. There have been numerous hold purse snatching cases recently, but so far the police have not arrested any of the robbers. Some of the purse snatchers were described as white men.

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS INSTALL THEIR OFFICERS KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS INSTALL THEIR OFFICERS Despite the fact that Friday night July 16, 1915, was swollen hot by a large number of officers of the subordinate lodges and courts met at the Fifth Street Baptist Church to be installed by Grand Chancellor John Mitchell Jr. Promptly at 9 d'clock Grand Prelate Thomas H. White was introduced by the Grand Chancellor and he proceeded to conduct religious exercises. At the conclusion of the same, hymns were sung. Miss M. L. Chiles Grand Worthy Register of Deeds read an excellent report of sesion of the Grand Lodge Knights of Fythias and the Grand Court, Order of Calanthe at Roanoke Va. In the absence of Grand Keeper of Records and Seals, Crump the Grand Chancelor requested Rev. W. T. Johnson D. D. to read the report. It showed that the total amount brought forward and collected last year of the Grand Lodge in all of its departments was $60,337.92 and the total disbursements were $19,671. So showing a balance which represented the total worth of the Grand Lodge Dec. 31, 1914 to be at $60,337.92. The amount paid out for death claims during the year of 1914 was $13500. 90. The Grand Chancellor then proceeded to install the officers he was assisted by District Deputy Dr. J. O. Dawson and Special Deputy Gray and Deputy Grand Worty Councillor Anna Taylor. Rev. Dr. Thomas H. White, Rev. L. J. Morris, Rev. W. T. Johnson D. D., Rev. J. W. Pryor occupied boats in the pulpit. On the lower rostrum sat Dr. J. O. Dawson, Sir W. H. Gray, Sir W. R. Green Sir, R. W.

MUST NOT DRAW COLOR LINE The right of a colored man to be served without discrimination in pub. i.e. places in this State was again maintained by one of the highest courts when the judgment of $200 obtained by Benjamin D. Gibbs, a colored man, of 33 West 99th street, against Arras Bros. owners of a liquor saloon at 242nd street and Broadway, was unanimously affirmed by the five judges of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of this department last Friday. Gibbs, with another colored man, Dr. James K. C. Megahy of 15 West 99th Street, on the way to VanCortlandt cricket grounds last summer stopped in Arran's saloon for a drink Dr. Megahy ordered a glass of beer and Gibbs a glass of gin, and the bartender told them that the beer would cost fifty cents and the gin one dollar a glass, so they left the saloon without the drinks. Commencing suit against the saloon keeper under the Civil Rights Law, Gibbs through his attorney Samuel Schwartzberg, of 299 Broadway, recovered a judgment of $200 after a trial before Justice Frederick Stiegelberg, in the Fifth District Municipal Court. The saloon keeper then engaged the law firm of Olcott Guber, Bonyng & McManus, and appealed to the Appellate Term of the Supreme Court, claiming that saloons were not places of public accommodation with in the law and that the statute applies only to the places opposing you soop uqma pousoem saloons. The judgment was unanimously affirmed by three judges of the Appellate Term last January, whereupon the saloon keeper again appealed to the Appellate Division with the result above stated. As the highest courts of Minnesota and Ohio decided under their similar laws that saloons were not included and that colored man could therefore be excluded from them the Appellate Division decision is regarded as a great victory for equal rights in this state. PRICE FIVE CENT LIFE OF BISHOP DERJUCK SCORED. Transactions between the late Bishop William Derrick and his wife, Clara E Derrick, were severely criticized and declared to be fraudulent in a decision handed down Wednesday in the Queens County Supreme Court by Justice Blackman. The decision may possibly open a way to a new contest over the estate of the late Bishop in which Joseph Derrick, of 81 Linden avenue, Flushing, the only son of the bishop, who is employed in the United States Postal Service, may secure a share of the property. For years Bishop Derrick held a controlling place in the affairs of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in America. He was a man of education and refinement and was on half a dozen occasions given audience by the late King Edward and by the present King George. He had also served audiences with Emperor William of Germany, with presidents of the French Republic, and other royal persons in Europe. At the time of his death he was preparing to reorganize the congregations of his church in the West Indies. He had just retired from the presidency of Wilberforce University a foremost institution for colored people in America. He was considered to be a man of considerable property, and his home, Bishop's Court at State and Prince streets, Flushing frequently appraised to be worth $50,000 was one of the show places of Flushing. Bishop Derrick had been a widow or several years when on November 3, 1909 he was married to Mrs. Clara Jones of Chicago widow of a one time prominent lawyer, who had two grown-up daughters. After the marriage, they came to Bishop's Court to live and remained there until after the death of Bishop Derrick, April 15, 1913. Then the estate, which was netted out of court, and Mrs. Derrick and her daughters have since closed the mansion and are now living in Philadelphia. The suit which was tried before Justice Blackmar in June term of the Supreme Court was brought by the Rev. Peter E. Mills, a clergyman now located at Xenia O. He brought suit against Mrs. Derrick to recover 167110 on a note which was given by Bishop Derrick to him January 30, 1907. It was shown that three payments of interest had been made, amounting to $130; the latest payment being in January 1913. The findings aligned by Justice Blackmar give a fairly complete history of the case. He found that on December 29th 1911, Bishop Derrick converted Bishop's Court to Mrs. Derrick; that the conveyance was made without consideration; that the property was worth more than $5,000 above all the claims against it, and that Bishop Derrick used the property as his residence until his death, April 15, 1913. Further findings of Justice Blackmar are: "The transfer of this property was made to the defendant with the intent on Derrick's part to hinder delay and defraud his creditors, including this plaintiff. It was made by Derrick to the defendant with the intent to protect for his own use and benefit said real estate during his life and thereafter for the sole use and benefit of said wife. (Amsterdam N.

READ "PEG O' MY HEART" THE WOMAN WATCH FOR "PEG O' MY HEART" NEXT AMERICAN NOTE IS FINAL More German Attacks Mean Break, Officials Say. FRAMING. 'NATION'S REPLY Direct Answer to American Conten tions In Submarine Warfare to Be Demanded to Belief In Washington. U. S. DEMANDS AND What America Asked. May 15-17 (the United States government) confidently expects, therefore, that the Imperial German government will disavow the acts of which the government of the United States complains, that they will make reparation, so far as separation is possible, for interference in the war and that they will take immediate steps to prevent the recurrence of anything so obviously subservative of the principles of warfare. June 10-The government of the United States therefore very earnestly and solemnly renews the representations of its note presented to the Imperial German government on the 15th day of May. The government of the United States deems it reasonable to expect that the Imperial German government will adopt the measures necessary to put these principles into practice in respect of the safeguarding of American lives and American ships, and asks for assurances that this will be done. Berlin's Reply. First—Retiterated assurance that American ships engaged in legitimate trade will not be interfered with nor the lives of Americans upon neutral ships be endangered. Second—German submarines will be instructed to allow American passenger ships to pass freely and safely. Germany entertaining in its cooperation the American government will see these ships do not carry, contraband. Such ships are to be provided with distinguishing marks and their arrival announced in advance. The same privilege is extended to a reasonable number of neutral passenger ships under the American flag. Germany is willing to permit American to place four battle patrol ships under the American flag to ply between North America and Europe under the same conditions. "The United States is now confronted with a situation of a grave, critical and most serious character, such as it has not had to face for many years." "This statement was made by a high official of the state department in the It will appear serially in this paper. The play ran 604 consecutive nights, or about two years, at a New York theater, scoring one of the greatest hits of the past decade. The story, like the play, was written by J. Hartley Manners. It is full of heart interest. It is witty and clever. Every line of it will entertain you. A romping, madcap, bewitching Irish girl is turned over to the care of aristocratic English relatives. They dislike her, but Peg holds her own with jaunty pride, and in the end, by her generosity and big heartedness, wins them over, and, what is more, wins her fortune, and, what is still more, wins a very gallant lover sinking of lying Louisiana Throughout official or else the same view prevails and the feeling of anxiety and tension. Should another passenger vessel be torpedoed and more American lives be lost it is believed that an immediate ript to between the United States and Germany can hardly be prevented. William H. exert every effort to maintain peaceful relations but official evidence of a failure of information would spread through the nation that would bear him no alternative. It is said immediately that Germany has warned its allies the war commanders alike to make no personal protest but this information has not been communicated to this government of facts this is true. Secretary Lakob said that there were no new developments in the situation. He did not know whether he should go to Corvallis or wait the president's return. State department officials continue to prepare information, which are assembled each day and forwarded to the president. Because of the serious situation that the German reply has brought about it is said that President Wilson will consider carefully what it is expected will be the final warning to the German government. High officials say that to meet the situation firmly the United States is required. This information was given out so that a delay of a week or more might not be misinterpreted as meaning that the United States intends to recode from its position. Speculation as to the probable reply narrows down to the opinion that it will be a final demand for an answer to the specific questions in the two previous notes of this government. It will be so phrased, official believe, that no loophole will be left through which Germany may wander into a discussion of such irrelevant as have characterized her replies to the past. The United States will insist, it is predicted, that Germany make direct and unequivocal answers to the several demands of the United States and that it be understood no other form of reply will be acceptable.

The following official communication was issued in Petrograd: "There have been lively engagements on some sectors on the front of Bobr and Narrow rivers. The artillery duel at Ossowie was renewed. "Between the Pisa and Rosoga rivers a German attack was repulsed. From the village of Edmorefetz to Pranaszz there has been a violent cannonade and outpost engagements. All is quiet on the left bank of the Vistula. "In the Lublin region there have been isolated actions. Our troops having finished the counter offensive which they began on the fifth and in the course of which they gained important successes, they have now occupied the positions assigned to them on the heights on the right bank of the river Urzendocha. "In the direction of Kholm, in the region of the village of Grabovets, the enemy unsuccessfully attempted to approach our entrenchments. On the upper Hug, near Bush, the enemy attacked with several battalions. We allowed them to approach to within 200 paces and then dispersed them with our fire. Many men killed or wounded were left on the ground by the enemy. "We repulsed an attack near the village of Mhrkoff on the Totallpa front and near the village of Korpets on the Dilester Monday."

General Military and British navy law in 1707. The Lord Warwick A GENERAL SURVEY OF THE WAR Paris reports a German success near St. Mibil, where the kaiser's troops forced the French first line of troops on a front of 700 yards. The allies hear that the Germans are shifting ten corps (400,000 men) from the eastern front for another drive upon Calais. The Austro-German advance in the east has come to a check under a stiffened Russian resistance. The only Teuton gains reported are in south Poland, where the forces of General von Mackensen are working northward toward Warsaw. Italian forces have nearly surrounded Gorz, north of Trieste, and are being aided in efforts to take this place by attacking aeroplanes. THURSDAY. Strongly reinforced, the Russians in south Poland have come to a stand, and the Austro-German drive towards the railways south of Warsaw has been checked, London hears. Petrograd claims successes in this field of operations, and Vienna announces that hard fighting is in progress. Paris hears that heavy German forces have been shifted from the eastern front to Alsace, preparatory to an effort to drive the French troops out of German territory. Hard fighting is reported to have taken place all along the western battle line. Berlin admits a German loss of 800 yards of trenches near Souchez. * The Italian cruiser Amalfi has been sunk by an Austrian submarine while on a scouting expedition in the northern Adriatic. FRIDAY. Germany's reply to the United States second note on the sinking of the Luzernia and the methods of conducting submarine warfare, has been handed to Ambassador Gerard in Herin. News dispatch has say that Archduke Joseph Ferdinand has fallen into a Russian trap south of Lebanon, and that his forces have been separated from the German army of Field Marshal von Muckeisen. Paris reports that French troops have advanced 700 yards in one section of the Vosges region and that they have won back trenches which had been captured from them by the Germans. The Austrians are reported to have mined Pola, their naval base in the Adriatic, in preparation for a possible evacuation. The commander of the German troops in German Southwest Africa has surrendered all his forces to General Botha. SATURDAY. Petrograd reports that the new Russian offensive in south Poland is being pushed, and that the Austro-German are withdrawing in that field. A news dispatch to London says the Germans are reinforcing in Poland and that the Russian successes are not decisive. Berlin reports the capture of 170 French troops in the last week and the seizure of a French trench in the Champagne district. Paris asserts that all German attacks have been repulsed, and that Sieg Germans have been taken prisoners. Preparations for the defense of Calais from a new German drive was made at a council of war attended by Field Marshal Kitchener, General Joffre and Premiers Aguilard and Viland. Italian artillery is sheeting the Austrian forts in the Bonzo river front. A large body of Turks is said to be threatening the British city of Aden, in Arabia. SUNDAY. Victories for both the British and the French armies over the Germans were announced by the French war office. The British succeeded in expelling the kaiser's forces from a trench in which the Germans had gained a footing, and the French completed the conquest of a series of positions north of Arras, which the greater number of which the Germans were driven on Thursday. The German statement denies any losses and declares all attacks in France and Belgium were repulsed. The Russians continue their offensive against the Austrians in the Krasnik region. The Germans are displaying great activity west of Warsaw and may attempt to break down the Russian defense. The Italians made further gains against the Austrians, and the Isonzo battle has now become an artillery duel. MONDAY. Using gas bombs, Germans made two desperate night attacks south of Souchez, in one of them occupying the cemetery. Attacks by the army of the crown prince in the Woevre district have been repulsed, according to reports from Paris. Berlin reports the blowing up of a British trench near Ypres and the capture of a French position in Alsace. A dispatch to London says an entire Austrian corps (40,000 men) in south Poland has been wiped out by the Russians. Rome reports that the Italians are bombarding Austrian forts near Trent, and that Austrian counter attacks in the Isonzo region have been repulsed. Russian forces have had success in heavy fighting in Trans-Caucasia, which says Kurds are massacring Christian Armenians. Toadstools Poison Two. Paul Perun, eight years old, and Sophie Perun, six yearsold, son and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Perun, of Freeland, near曼堡, Pa., are at the point of death from eating foodtools which Paul Perun, Sr., the father, plucked up in the woods for Germane Report Further Gains on Road to Arraes—General Offensive May Soon Begin. Bitter sighting in the region north of Arraes and in the section of the French front where the army of the crown prince of Germany operates, continues, according to the official reports from Paris and Berlin. A big French aerial squadron bombarded the railroad station at Vignuelles-des-Hattonchatelet, which holds supplies and ammunition for the German armies in the Woevre and Vordun regions, one of which is commanded by the kaisers heir. Berlin declares further success has been won by the German troops at Souchez and they are advancing on the road to Arras. The report states that the Germans have advanced 600 yards across the Snouchez cemetery and have captured the Cabaret Rouge (Red Inn) on the highway between Souchez and Arras. The battle of Souchez has now been in progress for two days. That the French are striving desperately to regain their host ground is apparent from the fact that they made an attack with grenades on the sugar refinery. This attack was repulsed, the Germans say. A renewal of the savage fighting in the western theater has turned the public eye from Poland to Galicia, and London is anxiously awaiting most important news from France. The man in the trenchhes is confident another winter campaign is be fore him in London, however, there is the hope that a general offensive will be undertaken soon and a decision reached. Military observers say the time for great operations is at hand. Mid summer has brought with it the best physical conditions of the year for military operations, and there is a widespread belief that one side or the other must strike hard, and in the near future. The improvements now in progress, at half a dozen points on the front are local engagements, but they are regarded in some quarters, because of their close interrelation, as pressing a general movement. Simultaneously with reports from several points' on the allied' battle front in the west, that they are beins faced by German troops fresh from Gallicia and Poland, the official statements on Monday clearly indicated that the British and French, for the time being, at least, once more are thrown on the defensive.

The government took over the Say ville wireless station on Long Island the only remaining privately operated direct means of communication be- tween the United States and Ger- many. Secretary Daniels announced that Captain Bullard, in charge of the naval radio, had gone to take over the station and would continue its oper- ation with naval forces. Captain Bull ard reported to the secretary that he had assumed control of the plant. Sec- retary Daniels issued this statement: "It is understood that the Sayville radio station had made application to the secretary of commerce for a 11 cause. The secretary of commerce declined to grant the license, and so formed the secretary of the navy who, after a conference, directed Captain Bullard, as the expert of the department, to take over and operate the station. "Ideutenant George R. Clark will be in control of the station. Captain Bullard will confer with the owners of the station in all that relates to the details of the operation of the station. Virtually the same rules and regulations as are now applicable to Tuckerton will be put in operation at Sayville." There will be no change, so far as the public is concerned. Messages will be accepted as heretofore. The only difference will be that naval operators instead of commercial employees will man the keys. The charges collected by the navy will be paid to the owning company. Secretary of Commerce Redfield is a letter to Secretary Lansing recommended that the United States take over the Snyville station, said that in investigation had shown that the new sending station, for which license was asked, had all been erected since the beginning of the war with apparatus made in Germany, that the company was entirely German owned, working with stations in Germany under government control, and that Professor J. Zennck, a captain of marines of the German navy and wireless expert had been assigned by the German government to conduct experiments there. To grant a license to such a station, Secretary Redfield said, the department had concluded, would be an unneutral act. This action, which was taken under an executive order issued by Great Dent Wilson, giving the navy authority to take over "one or more" stations, was deemed necessary because of alleged violations of neutrality by the company's operators. It has been charged that when the navy consortors left the wireless room for a minute or two, unrealized mages had been sent, and that only by a difficult and trying supervisor could neutrality be strictly preserved. Girl Pieces Hather than Wed. Miss Margarretta Major, twenty-one years old, of Bound Brook, N. J., was taken from a train on the Pennsylvania railroad on Saturday afternoon, a victim of hysteria, and removed to a hospital in Lancaster, Pa. She told the railroad officials that she was running away from her step father, who wanted to force her to marry a man she did not love. Boon after leaving Pilladelphia she became ill on the train and had to be restrained. She said she was coming to Lancaster to meet her brother, or York, whom she had telegraphed to come to Lancaster for her. She was taken away from the hospital by her mother and brother. Woman Pinioned Two Days By Tree Her reason partially dothroned after she had had latin for two days and nights in sunshine and rain, pinned to the ground by a huge log under a tree from which she had fallen while pickling cherries, Elizabeth Sine, aged sixty-seven years, of Berry township near Washington, Pa., is in a dying condition at her home. Her mother, Ruhama Sine, aged eighty-six years, for two years a help less invalid, is weakened and demented after watching the daughter suffer and unable to give any help. She also will probably die. The aged woman lived alone on a little farm. Prussian Losses, 1,504,528. The last sixteen Prussian casualty lists contain the names of 94,747 officers and men killed and wounded. This makes the total Prussian loss to the end of June, 1,504,528. This does not include 164 Saxon casualty lists, 198 Bavarian lists, 211 Wurtemberg lists and 36 navy lists. Of 40,000 German national school teachers under arms, 4900 have been killed in battle. Died From Leap in Schuylkill. Edwin F.

No cause is specified. French Leases 1,400,000. According to an appeal issued by the French Relief society, French soldiers had been killed in June I; 700,000 were women; 800,000 taken prisoners by the PEGRAM LOSES LIFE IN RECKLESS DASH TO FIRE Chauffeur of Fire . Chief Joynes Almost Instantly Killed on Broad Street. Running at breakneck speed, Pegged street in a vain and reckless effort to reach an unimportant fire, the automobile of Chief William H. Joynes was smashed into splinters against a light pole at Brook Avenue and Broad Streets, Chauffour Thomas H. Program was almost instantly killed. Fire Commissioner John Mann Jr., suffered a fractured hip, and the chief him self was badly injured. Running at breakneck speed, Jegan attuned to pass a big touring car, and was caught between the other machine, and the light, pole. He made a desperate effort to pass the pole, and had almost turned to safety when his car struck the pole a glancing blow, and crumpled up. Pegran was hurled through the windshield against the pole, and was literally shattered into a shapeless mass. Chief Joynes was thrown thirty feet from the left side of the car, and Commissioner Mann was hurled a like distance from the opposite side. Such was the force of the car's momentum that the base or the pole was broken into small pieces and the machine itself was entirely wrecked. PEGRAM'S BODY SMASHED TO SHAPELESS PULF Pegram's head struck the heavy load on standard and his skull was crushed. His teeth were knocked out, both legs and arms broken and his body was smashed into pulp. He was unconscious and dying when picked up, and breathed his last a moment after being taken into Virginia Hospital. Chief Joynes was picked up by Frank Hayward, formerly connected with The Times-Dispatch. His words were an inquiry for Pegram. John Mann was picked up by bystanders on the other side of the street. The car was firmly wedged against the pole, a part of the chassis lying across the eastbound car track. All traffic was stopped, and even fittney buses were diverted into other areas. Within a moment, almost, the corner was alive with people, and in less than half an hour, so fast had the news or the fatality spread, more than 5,000 people were gathered on the scene. Captain George E. Pollock, act's chief of police during the absence of Major Werner Captain Epps and Sowell, with a special detail of police remained on the scene, until nearly midnight to keep the curious on the move and to prevent congestion. FIRE IN MEAT MARKET ON WEST BROAD STREET The fire to which Chief Jones was rushing was at Munford and Broad Streets. The fire started in a small Game building attached to the rear of the Elba Meat Market and Provision Company, managed by M. D. Bloom, and spread to a small entree into Evans Hardware Company, 700 West Broad Street. Little damage was inflicted by the flames, and more loss, it is said was caused by water. The total loss will hardly equal it, is thought to the value of the fire machine which was destroyed. It is claimed that the has no necessity for Chief Wise was on the scene and had the fire under control with Engine Companies 4,5, and 6, and truck No. 3. He thought it advisable however, to summon No. 10 Company from Lombardy and Broad Streets Chief Joynes was at headquarters when the call for No. 10 came in. It was no need it is said for his reckless haste. With Pegram at the wheel Brook Avenue. Here the Street was thronged with slow-moving automobiles ing of the bell and the shrill whistle of the siren cleared the path as far as Brook Avenue. Here th street was thropped with slow-moving automobiles. ATTEMPTED TO RUSH BY TOURING CAR On the right side is a police "safety zone." Diagonally across stands a light pole of the Virginia Railway and Power Company. Pegram attempted to rush by a touring car just ahead of him and found too late that he had not enough room in which to make the turn. His blood at the base of the pole, his mangled body and the crumpled car give evidence of the rate at which the car was running. The fire was extinguished shortly after the accident. Many people witnessed the accident and commented bitterly on the apparently reckless disregard for human life which the fire chief displayed. The city ambulance, standing at the corner of First and Broad streets went up immediately after the crash. Pegram was lying at the base of the pole. Dr. Anderson, burges on in charge, saw that treatment was uneasy, and ordered that the dying fireman do removed at once to the hospital. The ambulance was temporarily out of order, and a jitney bus of the General Motor Car Company was requisitioned. Pegram was put on a stretcher, and the stretcher was placed across the backs of the two seats of the car. Just as he was being taken into the hospital Pegram taken died. In the meanwhile Chief Jaynes had taken to the office of Dr. Nixon again, where examination showed that he was suffering from diarrhea. All together, bruises about the head and severe shock. He was also extremely servous. He was later taken home. Commissioner Mann was taken to the Virginia Hospital in the City Ambulance after it had been repaired, and was found to be suffering from a fractured hip and severe cut on the forehead. He was later removed to his home, at 1608 East Grace Street. Chief Wise, who was still working at the fire was informed of the accident and rushed to the scene at a terrific rate. From there he wont to the hospital, running down Broad Street at tremendous speed. Learning that he could be of no assistance, he returned to the fire. The Board of Fire Commissioners has repeatedly issue warnings that no machine of the department shall proceed at rockless speed unless there be urgent necessity. At a meeting of the board on Monday night that warning was reterorated, and chief Joynes said that he would see that the regulation was carried out. Since the Fire Department was no torized three people had been killed. A negro boy was killed about two years ago by the machine of Assistant Chief Wise, and later A. F. Pitts of 716 E. Marshall St., on Broad between Eighth and Ninth, by Chief Joynes machine. Pegram is the third victim of the departments speed mana. There has been general complaint against the city motor apparatus because of its terrific speed. Seven people were injured by the police patrol of the First District last week. Policeman G. L. Hooker who was one of the victims is still in the Virginia Hospital suffering from a broken arm. Prominent citizens said last night that they would endeavor to have the departmental regulations amended so as to make it an offense on the part of any chauffeur to proceed at more than a prescribed rate. A member of the Board of Policecensors has suggested that the police apparatus be equipped with "gov'ernors" a device which controls the speed of the machine. Degram, the fire chaplain, who lost his life last night, was thirty-four years old. His home was at 311 East Marshall Street. He is survived by his wife, who was Mrs. Beatrice Harrison, a chief operator in the employ of the Chessake and Potomac Telephone Company; two brothers, George of Richmond, and Benjamin, of Pittsboro, N. C. and by one sister, Miss Myrrell Perriman, of Pittsboro. N. C. The body was removed last night to Bibles's morgue. The funeral arrangements will be made later. TimesDispatch July 13, 1911. --- METAL MINING IN THE EASTERN STATES The value of the mine out put of gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc in the Eastern or Apalachian States in 1914 was $11,437,707, against $12,415,286 in 1913, according to H. D. McCaskey in a statement just made public by the United States Geological Survey. The figures for 1914 represent the production of 81 mines, of which 15 were gold placer mines (many or them small), 36 deep gold mines, 7 zinc mines, and 7 copper mines. There was an increase in the production of gold and of zinc in 1914 as compared with 1913, but the yield of silver, lead, and copper was smaller. The gold output from all mines was 39,346 fine ounces, valued at $173,539, an increase of 280,632 ounces in quantity aid of $7,856 in value from the production of 1913. The silver output, recovered entirely as a by product in refining the gold and copper produced was 100,727 fine ounces, valued at $53,702, a decrease of 10,477 ounces in quantity and of $11,471 in value. Of the gold output in 1911 the placers yielded 504,166 ounces against 736,655 ounces in 1913, and the gold-quartz mines produced 716,559 ounces against 6,892,909 ounces in 1913. The copper mines produced 327,211 ounces in 1914 and 391,539 ounces in 1913. Of the 45 producing gold placers in 1914, there were 26 in Georgia, 12 in North Carolina, 1 in Alabama, and 6 in South Carolina. There were 21,812 short tons of alliances or tars tallow or treated from Appalachian gold mines in 1914, of which 17,451 tons were from North Carolina, 6,079 tons from Alabama, 1,750 tons from Georgia, and 7,531 tons from South Carolina. The output of siliceous gold ore in 1914 was about 12,929 tons more than in 1913, and gold from deep mines increased about 200 ounces. The average recovery of gold (including nonlinal recovery of silver) per ton of siliceous ore treated in the Eastern States in 1914 was $1.69. The average in Alabama was $1.28. In Georgia $3, and in North Carolina $7.17. The copper production in 1914 was 19,555,362 pounds, valued at $2,600,863, an increase of 409,362 pounds in quantity and of $492,670 in value. Of the total output 18,777,656 pounds came from the Ducktown district of eastern Tennessee, from 653,621 short tons of pyrite copper ore treated. The remainder came chiefly from Pennsylvania, where, at the Cornwall from mine, magnetic separation of large tonnages of magnetite ore results in the recovery or copper-bearing pyrite.

It has not been many years ago that attive to the right of the chauffeur of, practically the same argument was a police patrol to run that automobile, used against the colored electorate of at an express train speed, on Clay, this city: As a result, out of a voting Street, in an effort to get a would-be electorate of approximately ten thousand suicide to a hospital, after the doctor colored men, only about five hundred pumped out his stomach and had dredged of them are permitted to exercise rendered him first aid treatment. the right of suffrage. How Charles V. Mussolini, of this seems to be to remove the city government, one of the ablest attorneys in the eriment from politics. It reminds us that United States has created something of the proposition to remove the of a sensation in local circles by his steamers from the water and achieve declaration that city office holders results, to remove the railroad trains should be disfranchised while holding from the railroad tracks and achieve office. His plan is an extreme one to results, to remove the banks from the entire a temporary evil and if put into financial channels and do business and operation would prove to be as oneous, to remove the lawyers from the courts As a matter of fact, the place for such a specimen of humanity was at his own home or in a lunatic asylum. Certainly not in a hospital where all of the patients who could think for themselves, wanted to live. This chauffeur in the employ of the city, in obeying the orders of the doctor, as his friends allege, put himself in the hospital, along with about six others. The man who was said to be in a dying condition recovered, although he did not reach his destination within the two minutes specified to be necessary to save his life. It would be well too, for the Mayor to look after the First Street Line of street cars. A white man was the last victim and he is now minus a good part of lots. When these people can be made to understand that the tax payers, the citizens, the people, have the first right to the streets and that all also must be subordinated to the saving of their lives then those unfortunate casualties will be of rare occurrence. COLORED MEN RARELD. The State House, Raleigh, North Carolina, has recently taken up the task of organizing the Democratic campaign for North Carolina, partly between the State House and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The University of North Carolina will represent the State House in the election. J. B. Baldwin, president of Circle W, has been appointed to the State House to preside over the party plan for the state. He will be the first State House member to preside over the party plan for the state. J. B. Baldwin will be the first State House member to preside over the party plan for the state. J. B. Baldwin will be the first State House member to preside over the party plan for the state. The only white voters should take part in any primary held for the purpose of the party nominations. "Attorney General John Garland Paladin was an interested spectator remaining throughout the session of the committee. Congressman. Fired appeared with a down shaven face having recently divested himself of his private admonishment, and the charges in his facial appearance was so prosecuted that members who have known him intimately for years did not recognize him until he had been in the hall some time." This will be interesting information to colored Democrats in the doubtful states. Colored men are not only armed from holding office, but they are denied the right to participate in the councils of the Democratic Party. They were good enough to be enlisted in the Confederate Army upon the recommendation of that soldier statesman Mayne G. Gustafson Rector E Lp., but they are not good enough to be permitted to vote for white men who took a part in that fateful struggle. Self respect demands that we support the men and the parties who want our support. Legalized primaries do not permit under the law any discrimination on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude, the able Armenian G. Gustafson John Gustafson is the political to the contrary note attending. A STARTLING PROPOSITION. How Crawford V. McQuarrie, of this city, one of the ablest attorneys in the United States has created something of a sensation in local circles by his declaration that city office holders should be disfranchised while holding office. His plan is an extreme one to cure a temporary evil and if put into operation would prove to be as oneous and as dangerous in other respects is the evil of which he complains. The distinguished barrister did not go into details with reference to his plans and he did not tell his hearers how to avoid the constitutional prohibitions, federal, state and municipal in order to reach the point to which he was striving. Suffice it to say, that the right to vote carries with it the right to hold office and consequently the right to hold office carries with it the right to vote. We have become so accustomed to appeal to our legislators to remedy evils, both imaginary and real in dealing with colored people, that now that this element has been eliminated as a political equation, we now are resorting to the same tactics in dealing with white elements who are equally embarrassing and disagreeable. Ms. Merridan is quoted: "If you want my personal views as to what is the matter with this city's government. I'll give them to you, and I am prepared to stand by them," continued Mr. Meredith. "It will take a constitutional amendment to withdraw the right of municipal surrogate from city employees, but I am prepared to vote for it." "Under the present system good government is finally handicapped. In every municipal election you are confronted with a compact body of city employees who are opposed to change. It is not a safe situation. No matter what returns per person, per person with a body of 200 who are against it, not because it is lacking in merit, but for personal reason." he had a rel. It has not been many years ago that of practically the same argument was used against the colored electorate of Clay this city: As a result, out of a voting able electorate of approximately ten thousand, colored men, only about five hundred of them are permitted to exercise the right of suffrage. es for Under a ruling of the Democratic Anti-Saloon Attorney General, John Vilum, GAMLAND POLLARD, these five hundred colored men and any portion of them, for have been debarred from stiling in these reforms and they cannot vote in city the Democratic Primaries. "If you undertake to elect a man to a responsible office, the chances are 99 out of 100 that the man who is in office will be relected. It is so there is absolutely no incentive for a capable man to run for office under present conditions." The Listinguished Virginian states the truth, but what is the cause of these conditions and who brought them about? The Negrohating contingent of the Democratic Party accomplished the feat by disfranchising the best class of people who ever cast the ballot. They disfranchised colored men who often combined with the better class of white men in securing good government in this State. In eliminating the colored men, the "machine" eliminated white men as well. They reduced the number of effective voting units and accordingly made the unified two thousand office holders an effective force in defeating any proposition offered for government reform. As a matter of fact, the business interests of the city have their voting power as absolutely nullified as is the voting power of the colored people, which voting power the politicisms seem power to take of vilifying and shouting. Mr. Museum is quoted further "A man who is employed by the city has no right to vote in a municipal election. He prevents other people from obtaining the sort of government they want not to be part of; the new form is not good, but because it is not convenient." "The evil is instigated in the large cities of the North and West by the presence of two or more strong rival parties. There is a constant incentive for these parties to nominate Mayors for example who are strong men. Each party seeks out the strongest man it can find, in order to attract voters from the rival party. That is why New York votes such competent Mayors." The above statement is a virtual objection of the truth of our contention. It is the logical result of all short sighted efforts to relieve urgent conditions. The cure for one evil has produced another evil for which it is no cure. The English sparrow was introduced in this country for the purpose of destroying a pest. They have increased in numbers so that they have become a greater pest than the one that they destroyed. This is the way God punishes us for violating fundamental laws. Mr. Monster concluded as follows: "There in the South and in Richmond there is absolutely no party rivalry. Nomination in the primary is tantamount to election. We start with a handup of 2,000 votes practically pledged to oppose a reform candidate to matter how able. We are absolutely without protection. Nominations are occurred through popularity for an able man to enter into such a competition. You have a chance now to rid yourself of that incubus, if you are really in earnest about removing the city government from politics. I would not deprive city employees of the right to vom in State and national elections. An amendment to the Constitution will enable Richmond to deprive them of the right to vote in city elections, and I am ready to vote for such an amendment." Hoy Charles V. Murrayer's aim needs to be to remove the city government from politics. It reminds us of the proposition to remove the steamers from the water and achieve results, to remove the railroad trains from the railroad tracks and achieve results, to remove the banks from the financial channels and do business and to remove the lawyers from the courts and still have them make a living. This is a political government, run by political machinery. The basic principle of the Declaration of Independence of the United States, the Constitution of the United States, the Bill of Rights of Virginia and the Constitution of Virginia is founded on popular suffrage and when you attempt to make it otherwise you must return miserable to the government by divine right, that of the Caar of Russia and the Sultan of Turkey. The primary stop though to good government is to free the electorate and not to strangle that portion of it which at present remains. Viewed from Ms. Mekerrin's standpoint, the Administrative Board feature of our government has proven a failure for the reason that the gentlemen compose the same are almost entirely from the faction of the Democratic Party which Ms. Mekerrin and his supporters have been opposing. Now it is proposed to follow one failure by the introduction of another. The "one man" government is the proposal from which every citizen has been turning. This slogan used upon the hustings will defeat any candidate or party advocating its adoption. The true solution is to return to the bedrock principles of the Republic by freeing the electorate.

A certain Nashville newspaper in control of parties who are in disagreement with the National Baptist Convention has published articles calculating to impress those who do not know that all is not moving along personally with reference to the movement. We simply wish to say to the public that every thing is moving without any measure of friction understanding whatever. The understated sustains the very same relationship to the movement as has always been the case, with the exception that pressing calls upon him as General Secretary Education from various parts of the country prevent him from giving to the local movement in Mississippi the amount of personal attention they desire.

LOAFERS PARADISE THERE We have some women who take their husband's hard earnings to take care of them, take the same and care for some loafer. When their poor husbands are out working and the sweat pouring out of them, these women have Dudes sitting at their homes with a fan and plenty of cool drinks. It is the money earned by their unfortunate husbands that is squandered in this way, instead of paying the rent and other debts. They spend on these good-for-nothing men, and thereby fail to meet obligations they should justly meet. When their husbands begin to kick about it, they grow angry first, and want to pull up and the poor husband does not know the real cause, but let them go, and when they are gone they will find nine times out of ten that this-Dude they have been keeping up, will never do what that husband has been doing.

LEWIS UNITY OF VIRGINIA BAPTISTS Mr. Editor: In reply to Dr. Galvin's last article touching the consolidation of the Baptist State Convention and the General Association of Va. I would state that I am also a very busy man and have neither time nor energy to spend in a fruitless controversy. But I count no time lost that is spent in turning a brother from the evil of his ways as I have been endeavoring to do during the past few weeks. In a previous article I stated the following facts as grounded in a consultation with two leses in question: (1) That a radical change has come over the brothel of the State within the past few years so that there is no difference between us. (2) That all the Baptists of the State and Country stand committed to cooperation with the white people in our Educational and Missionary work, even those of the Baptist State Convention. (3) That we all believe in owning and controlling our own schools as shown in the nine Academic Schools which we have scattered over the State under the management of colored men while the Convention supports one school only. (4) That the men of both bodies are working harmoniously together in our local bodies viz. Ministers Conferences, Councils and District Associations, and I could see no reason why they should not work together in our State work. Now inasmuch as Dr. Galvin has appertained every point of my contention the whisper thing for me to do is to act the part of a good lawyer that is to submit the case to the jury of my readers without further argument. I test the part of an trade master who continued to beat his dog long after he was dead and when naked who he thus continued to sent his wrist upon the lifeless animal, that "I want to teach the Living dogs that there I punishment after death for a sinning dog". But his effort to cover himself with the Scripture induces me to say a word. Being hard press for matter that is not the case, that the brotherhood of the State should remain separate and apart, he states that God approves a division among the brethren; that this fact is confirmed by the separation between Abraham and Lot, Paul and Barnabas, and the further fact that success has come to the Baptist State Convention during the past fifteen years. Could there be a more fragrant injustice perpetrated upon the word of God? Could there be a greater travesty on the teachings of the Scriptures? In the case of Abraham and Lot, the land in which they lived did not afford sufficient room for both of them and their great possessions is the reason given for their separation. In this true of the Baptists of Virginia, that they work together" Again, Paul and Barnabas separated on the teachings of the Scriptures (Gal. 2:12). Is this true of us? It is agreed that we are together on the doctrines of the New Testament and also our Church Polity. Again, referring to the financial success, I would say the bar room keepers are very successful men in the way of making money. Dooms God as prove of their business? Is the unity and harmony of the Baptist Brotherhood to be measured in the scales of finance? If this be true, then Simon the Baptist Church will fall behind the Baptist Church and can easily secure a leader. It was the devil's trick to pervert the teachings of the Scriptures to support his argument in the temptation on the mount and I am determined never to follow his example. Any Bible student knows that peace, unity and cooperation among the followers of Christ run like a golden thread through the New Testament, and that there is not one word warring a division or even a dispute over a support of something. And let me add that God is very merciful to spare the creature that timates to him such a charge. It is said that a drowning man will grasp a straw to save himself. In such a condition we find Dr. Galvin when he seeks to escape the unfortunate predicament in which his previous utterance on this consolidation question has placed him. It is characteristic of youth to be impetuous, rash, and extravagant in speech, Dr. Galvin shows much of the spirit of youth when he declares that the present separation of the brethren is eternal. And on the heels of this he states that if the brother of the General Association can subscribe to our methods of work let them come back and we will receive them. Here is a change of mind on the Kaleidoscopic fashion. "Oh what a tangle web we weave When first we study to deceive." Dr. Galvin out to come out of the churches and stand out in the sunlight and tell the truth, and the whole truth as to why he is opposed to a consolidation of the two bodies. Some of his brethren are of the opinion that a union of the two bodies will diminish the financial resources of the Virginia Seminary; but to my mind this is a groundless fear. All money from the churches are designated and are placed as sent; hence there is no danger of us getting the "lion's share." And more we have several churches in the General Association that would gladly contribute to the Virginia Seminary in case the present obstructions were removed, hence that school would reap the large benefits of the union. We deem it unnecessary to mention our attitude toward the various interests of the National Baptist Convention for we are members of that body and we yield superiority to no set of brethren in Virginia in our loyalty to its aims and work. Especially since that Convention has agreed to cooperate with the white people of the South in building a Theological Seminary at Memphis. Town, for colored people; and since the National Baptist Convention has been for several years working with the white people in our Home Mission and Publication work. We do so. when the nation is divided. Some states have laws that prohibit the use of the word "divide" Now if the division of the Convention of Virginia can not with us, they are not with the National Convention, except in name alone, house they stand like a pollen alone on the house top of their own excavation. It is clear to us that the Negro independent idea, an Christian work, the rock upon which Virginia divid- ed, is the right path of the people, and we are all now in the electric lighted vegetative train of cooperation moving along the road of progress and racial unplift. In my parting words let me say that I regret very much that Dr. Galvin has suffered pain from the harmless sparks that flew out from my hammer and avail as I forged the chain with which to bind him and the brethren of Virginia into concord and Christian cooperation. Nor do I shrink from friendly controversy, knowing that controversy produces the friction by which the engine of progress is cranked, and from which progress is cranked, and from which reforms and changes incident to him an advancement. It is the sister by which the shaft of error is separated from the wheat. For the very courteous invitation which Dr. Galvin extends to us to return to the convention, we thank him and his followers.

WOODS VACATION ACTIVITIES Since the first of June I have been constantly on the field in the interest of our educational work. My first engagement was with the First Baptist Church of Harrisonburg, Va. Key, Dr. J. G. Drake, pastor. I found the good people in the field of Dr. Drake alive to the interest of our denominal national work, and to the positive educational work especially, Dr. Drake makes one of our very enorgonic constituents and is doing a noble work. From Harrisonburg I journeyed to Staunton where I took part in the funeral exercises of Doscon Jn. W. Harris who was the organizer of the First Baptist church of that city in 1867 and who has been the instrument in founding practically all of the baptist churches in this section. From the church in that city was an object of the church and one of the united characters of his day. From there I was called home in the interest of the work and on my return here found communications from Dr. R. J. M. Moes and C. C. Scott of Philadelphia to be with them in their respective churches. Leaving immediately for Philadelphia I spent Sunday June 13 in that city, Sunday morning I was in the church home of Dr. Scott and in the evening with Dr. Scott. Those two gentlemen were being treated of the race and demonstration in the city of Broth only Love. They both have strong churches and their congregations are keyed to the music of racial pride and dominical interest. They made it pleasant and profitable for me. Monday I attended the Minister's Conference in Philadelphia. I was made the order of the day. I addressed the members of Philadelphia and vicinity on their educational work. The brothers generally were especially glad to hear of the work of the Philadelphia Conference. The Philadelphia Conference is one of the largest of the country's distinguished ministers. Here I met the good friend and great leader Dr. W. F. Graham Dr. Graham is the pride of the Baptists of the nation and all love to do him honor. He spoke in the conference of his trip and grew enthusiastic as no told of the progress of the race. Here also we met Dr. Moore, Robinson, Morris and many others who exchanged with us greetings and answered questions. The Philadelphia Conference is presided over by Dr. C. Scott who is at once a President of dignity and presides with great ease and pain. From Philadelphia I went to New York to attend the sessions of the N England Baptist Convention. Tuesday the Sunday School Department, presided over by Mr. Dodson, was in session. The Sunday school work as act out was found to be in excellent condition. The churches throughout New England territory have progressive Sunday Schools and are doing very effective work. I addressed the young people in the afternoon on their work and found willing hearers and they were responsive to our claims and as usual made a good contribution to our educational work. Wednesday the Women's Department of the Convention held their meeting. This body is presided over by Mrs. Holland of Providence. The had a very interesting and energetic set of women composing this organization and they are doing a much needed and effective work in that territory. I also addressed them and our work received its usual supports from them. Thursday morning the Convention proper opened presided over by one of the principally men of our denomination the Rev. Dr. W. Bishop Johnson of Washington, D. C. One of the features of the Convention was the strong address delivered by Dr. Johnson. It was broad gauged and full of hope for the good Baptist constituency and well contained a solemn call to the Baptist hostel throughout the nation to arm themselves in service as nov. or before march forward to take the conquests that await them. The sessions were good throughout Many able sermons, strong addresses and excellent papers were heard throughout the sessions. The Convention sets aside its first night as Educational Night at which time the representatives of the institution supported by the convention are heard. Our School being the adopt institution of the Convention and its object of support for a number of years was of course given a very prominent place. The Convention is still loyal to the principle of work of the Convention and cared we in their contributions. In this convention are practically all of our churches from the District of Colorado to Maine with their able and energetic pastors who make the leaders of this Convention. One of the features of the Conventions that has merited distinction over all of our meetings. State and National, is the place given the Committee on State of the Country. This Committee is headed by R. D. Reid has made Newport Beach a year after year for human rights and the effect of this event is new being seen and felt throughout the Country. Learning the New England Convention on the 51st. I went to Peterborough to meet the Women's Education Association of Va. Here I met the third woman of Va. who In the past few years, the number of people who think that they will for them one of their better years in many respects. While they did not raise quite as much money as usual then, realize for all purposes approximately fourteen hundred dollars in this session. They were make-up a strong mous effort in the interest of the institution and they were very successful in their endeavor to raise funds for the same. At the same time they made a splendid id contribution to the current expenses of the institution. Our women of Virginia make up an excellent body and are not surpassed by any set of Christian women to concretize ed thoroughly to the inerest set of the Master's. lom and the cause of Humanity. ag song of Mrs. Eliza P. Fox, Mrs. L. W. Terryll, Mrs. Carrie C. Moses, Mrs. M. Wailer Richardson,"Mrs. Josephine Anderson and other women of strong religious faith. From Potersburg I came to Lynchburg and spent a short while at home and in my office and journeyed to Brockton, Mass. where I was to make public announcement of the action of the faculty and Trustee Board of the institution in honoring the Rev. N. A. Marriott with the degree of Doctor of Divinity. The exercises were held Tuesday night June 29th and Brockton's citizens of all churches and de nominations were out in large numbers to witness the exercises. There were several speakers who spoke in glowing terms of the life work of Dr. Marriott. It was a very impressive exercise from start to finish and we have every reason to feel much was accomplished. In the interest of racial progress. I will be recalled that Dr. Marriott is immensely proud of our institution by Mrs. Aylor of Now Bedford, Mass. It was my pleasure to look into the affairs of this estate and I am glad to report everything in excellent shape as regard our institution. Dr. Marriott is attending to the interest with fateful scrutiny. While in Brockton I stopped in the home of Mr. Watt Terry, the man who has made over a half, million dollars in the real estate business in ten years and who holds in his possession some of the most acceptable property in Brockton. Mr. Terry is a very progressive gentleman in every particular, a faithful Baptist worker of that city. His efforts are nobly assisted by Mrs. Terry, his accomplished wife. Dr. Marriott and I went to New Bedford and spent some time in going over the business of the estate. From New Bedford I went to Newport, I. to be with Dr. W. B. Reid for Sunday July 4th. Dr. Reid has one of the leading Church congregations in the New England States and is thorough in his work. Dr. Reid needs no introduction to the reading, public throughout the country as he is an author and as well a constant writer for the press on great human questions. For years he has conducted a campaign of publicity at his own expense and he has year after year written hundreds of letters to congregations and senators with excellent effect regarding the conditions of race. Dr. Reid made our treasurer of the Fellowship of the Church spent the time in his home where his excellent wife made things extremely pleasant in every particular. From Newport I went 10 Pittsburgh, on July 6th I was to deliver the principal address in the closing exercise of the installation service of Roy. Dr J. C. Austin as pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church of his world wide fame be born of its missionary and educational work. It was the purpose of its former pastor, Dr W. W. Brown to make it a word church. To this end he nobly succeeded. He has his successor in Dr Austin one who is consecrated to the same great cause, a man of great vision and promise and who promises by his excellent work to rank one of the most charitably our pleasure and a very gratifying role in the foremost men of his day and how the people in Pittsburgh and especially of Ebenezer-Church were honoring Dr. Austin. While he has not been there long he has related himself to the civic bettlement of the people generally as well as to the Christian leadership of the Christian life in that section of the State I have been to the church of Dr Austin and found Mrs. Austin. Austin happy cheerful and lending every possible effort to the success of her distinguished husband. I met many of our good friends, among them Dr. W. R. Brown, G. B. Howard, Childs, Clay, and others. The brothen generally are though alive to the interest of our educational work and of our institution at Lynchburg. While in Pittsburgh I served the Race Street Christian Church. This is one of the great churches of our copity the pastor being one of the very liberal men of this nation. A splendid audience assembled and we were given full time to discuss at pleasure the questions of the day. The meeting was a very inspiring one. On Thursday night the graduates and under graduates of our institution located in Pittburg and violently gave a banquet in honor of our presence which proved to be a most excellent affair in every particular: This was given in the home of Dr. Austin and attended by men of different professions who had taken the course. The occasion was graced with many of our lady graduates while others represented other institutions. My extensive trip on the field thus far has given me a splendid opportunity to get in touch with the interest of the public with reference to the educational work at Lynchburg and it is pleasing to me to say that a most wholesome sentiment possesses the people generally everywhere regarding theological and College. This sentiment never more favorable for us than they are today. There has never been a time when the people believed so intimately in the work and principles of our institution as they do now. This is greatly encouraging. During my travels I met many of our leaders of sentiment in church and State and find them, much encouraged in every particular. At Petersonburg I had the good opportunity twelve years of service in the Department and found him in excellent spirits and feel that the field as he has touched it was in fine shape. Here I also met Dr. Ashburn, our Field Soc. retary, and his reports were creative and helpful. We did a wonderful work. I was accompanied on this trip by our manager and treasurer Deacon A Humbles who is giving his time to the promotion of our institution. Rev. S. A. Brown the pastor of Gillfield Church where our convention met is an energetic worker and is doing a remarkable work at Petersburg. It was our pleasure to be in home of Deacon and Mrs. Forbes during the convention, some of our Christian leaders of the city and everything was made very pleasant for us, education workers have every reason to take courage and go forward.

First Street, Richmond, Va. --- Mr. Mersthill's Remarks "If you want my personal vows as to what is the matter with this city government I'll give them to you, and I am prepared to stand by them." continued Mr. Meredith. "It will take a constitutional amendment to withdraw the right of municipal suffrage from city employees, but I am prepared to vote for it." "Under the present system, good government is fatally handicapped. In every municipal election you are confronted with a compact body of city employees who are opposed to change. It is not safe situation, matter what reforms you propose, you start with a body of 2,000 voters who are against it, not because it is lacking in merit, but for personal reasons." You undertake to elect a man to a responsible office to displace a man who is in that office, the changes are 99 out of 100 that the man who is in office will be re-elected. It is a starting thing to conquer but it is so there is absolutely no incentive for a capable man to run for office under present conditions. "A man who is employed by the city has no right to vote in a municipal election. He prevents other people from obtaining the sort of government they want, not because the new government is good but because it is not convenient." The civil is mitigated in the large cities of the North and West by the presence of two or more strong rival parties. There is a constant incentive for these parties to nominate Mayors for example, who are strong men. Both party seeks out the strongest candidate to be elected by voters from the rival party. That is why New York City gets such competent Mayors. "Here in the South and in Richmond there is absolutely no partyality. Nomination in the primary is tantamount to election. We start with a handicap of 2,000 votes practically pledged to oppose a reform candidate in Richmond without protection. Nominations are secured through popularity, and not ability. There is no incentive for an able man to enter into such a competition. You have a chance now to rid yourself of that incubus, if you are really in earnest about removing the city government from politics. I would not deprive city employees of the right to elect elections. An amendment to the Constitution will enable Richmond to deprive them of the right to vote in city elections, and I am ready to vote for such an amendment."

Page Twp. Kishmond, Va., July 14, 1915 (Special). Physicians' reports to the State Board of Health for May and June show less cases of typhoid by 139 than, for the corresponding months of 1914. Last year the total estimated cases for the two months, excluding cities, with well-organized boards of health, were 767—284 for May and 483 for June. This year the total estimated cases for the two months of territory were 628—223 for May and 405 for June. The gain for May was 61 cases for June 78 cases. While the State health authorities regard these figures as encouraging evidence of more general sanitary precautions, the board. In its weekly bulletin, the board said, public cooperation will bring, a still further reduction. The board says: "It is in course gratifying that 139 people have escaped the disease who would have had typhoid in May and June if the morbidity of 1914 had continued. But it must be remembered that every case of typhoid fever is unnecessary and can be prevented. Even in the disposal of body wastes. We cannot afford to be elated because we have only 50 per cent as much typhoid as we had seven years ago. We still have far too much. "The present showing, however, cannot be maintained for the rest of the year unless every effort is made to dispose of all body waste in a sanitary manner. The coming of extreme storms there are more files in Virginia that have been observed for a number of years necessitates extreme care. "Any householder or farmer in the small towns and rural sections of the State can procure practical insurance against typhoid fever by the expenditure of a little time and energy in making his outhouse safe, in safe guarding his water supply and in safeguarding the air moisture. Bulletins that describe the nature and methods of taking these precautions are available for distribution and will be sent free of cost to all who request them."

But he that is born of God is a child of the flesh and that child he has no mother or father. He that persecute is persecuted as a servant for the weak or small and be reminded of that the servant greater than the servant less than the servant the servant less than the servant take support to the servant. And for all had taken he whom they called master washed their feet. And his order was for us to imitate him in this act very early that day. And he is where we are told Mr. Norsey Preacher and most of the whites. They preach themselves that and compel others to watch their feet. They have not their lives for the stock but gave the stock for their own lives. But I look you and them how shall they live and that they have nothing on which to support. But the Norsey preacher condemns them the white and the rights of your fraternal bodies, and more than they are that of your kritishisms, and if the Negroes are told by their own leaders to be especially polite to white people who do not respect any right of virtues belonging to the Negro, you are telling him to disrespect both you and his own person. And if judge that he will disrespect your first. Thus Jesus said to the Phar- ses and Sadghoses. You compa- se sea and land to make one a pro- talite, and when he is made you make him twofold more a child of hell than he was before. What if the use in talking about your best friend if you should not protect the White man dominates you by might and hatred and not by righteousness and love. He has never been just or very politic to the Negro, and very little do they demand it. This is not the work of science, but that of cowardice. And not much good will come of it, either. There are certain things I know and can do of which I have done. But without liberty give me death as I know it is better to be dead than to be compelled to disregard the laws of science or God. If white men could be riled upon to lie rightly why is the great war in Europe? And if one climbs trust in the way now, trust in the same way. The same way dominates the colored races to trust their rights to the mercy of white men is neither wise or courageous. Your country is guarded by your army and/very whose men stand really take those away and your importance goes with them. The Negro or white child has the right to live and hope in any other nations helping him with it. Santos Dumont is the true character of the Brazilian genius and his case is a typical one of the country. Yet this is a land actually flowing with with and honey. But believe me when I remind you that this very city was founded in 1520 and many of the houses are of the mountain on which the city many streets to wagons cannot pass each other in the street unless one walks at a crossing until the other goes. It is utterly impossible to try to do anything with these people for this reason. Thus we are suffering in Brazil more than many European cities or countries are today. And if you want to do anything with these people at all why produce something wholly independent to them and sell it to them. The Germans are the most successful of all strangers in dealing with them, because the German help the man who he had before the beginning of this war, the Germans were taking full control of their exports and held a growing influence on the imports. I know the German way of doing business. It is simple. You prove that you are willing and he will help you. That is all; only he is very sure that he is paid out of the first products. If people came into this country and established colonies of their own and did their own business with only enough political affiliation to guarantee the safety of their居士们, my safety of their interest, money can be made here. So I should advise them a study of different nations in relation to the U.S. A. government, that you should never agree to government ownership in your country. And I greatly fear the outcome of the municipal employment agency as recently established in your large cities. They can easily arrange to give the Negroes the worst jobs and put him so far as possible from the cities. This because the "better class Negroes never look after interest of their people of the laboring class" and the poor fellow in want generally accepts the first thing that comes because his own race will hound the life out of him and set the white police on him if he is ever known to refuse. So it will soon become, (I am afraid) like the Northern unions a greater hurt than a help to the colored laborers. For it will be very easy for Dr. Booker Washington to ask for colored help for the farms of Georgia and Alabama etc., and tell his white face Gods that if they do not accept that, to not give them anything else and to give them no peace in the great titles if they are employed. But I shall put the people wise on the start. It looks to me like a trap, and it will eventually become one to the Negroes. So I say, bite show! For there is neither church or society to look after the rights of the Negro race. And the government has sworn that he is not quite human. I am glad, however, that the white man hates the mulatto the worst, or there would be no chance at all for the poor black devil. Those Negro preachers do not name them, they go by the most of their Why they not demand more recognition as foreign missionaries in other countries than Africa. You see by this that they are the first men to be down to race segregation, and the colored lawyer is the next. Then comes the doctor and the rest. Thus the poor laboring man must do likewise or he killed. These are those who they call "the better class of God fearing Negroes or colored people." If you are really the better class then go up there among your own class of white and take some for the rest who are not better class. I am guided by the God of behold and truth; thus I have no rest for men mentions persons. Nor do I judge a man by his life. But rather by all I can learn about him. is to prepare for the foray and be to prepare for the fray and de- mand an active part in every thre- and four months of your life. You are compelled to act, act quik- before your heart fails you. Take an active part in your government whether in peace or war. What is bad for the government is bad for all, and why should they all not enjoy that which is good, according to their station. Citizenship de- mands that every member be active in everything which tends to the salvation of all his people's interest. I am driven to denounce the theories of all people who do not permit men to work with equal advantages and equal interest. The Nesco helped the European to take America from the Indians and later helped the colonies to throw off the roke of European governments. Now why should they not help enjoy every right and privilege possible to the citizens of the various governments? If you fought one time maybe you can do it again. Thus I say study everything learn to do everything. And never allow someone else to say what is the most convenient for the time, but always seek to improve. Ex- pect to elevate everything you adopt. By this you elevate your selfs. It would not hurt if some active young man went in the ad- vertising business with the Rich- mond Planet, say on percentage, and by hustling up "ada" you would be compelled to build up the paper. You could sell it cheaper after making many improvements. One should never depend upon the readers to support a paper. Why, just think of the millions of dollars spent annually for advertis- ments of various kinds all over the world. And the other millions would be compelled to produce the various businesses all over the world. Get out and show the various kinds of business that, you can bring them in touch with the various people of the world, and your fortune is made. It may be notified that a colored paper can never pay for an article or carry a staff of well paid supervise, and why? They will tell you that it is because that the subscribers do not pay promptly. Oh, how silly! Get all the subscribers you can, and all the good reading matter for them you can in advance; but always see that they Respectfully yours: I. S. MOORE COMFORT FOR SOLDIERS. All Branches of Our Army Are to Use Cavalry Tents. Because of the additional comfort which will be afforded the soldiers the war department has decided to equip all branches of the United States army with cavalry tents. The decision was reached recently after a personal inspection by the secretary of war of twenty different types of shelter guts which were set up in one of the Washington parks and the roughly tested. While this tent is two pony-sized than the one here offered by the infantry, it is so much larger and more comfortable than the old one that it is considered preferable. Either two saters or two rifles may be substituted for the ordinary collapsible poles in setting up one of these tents. This is considered a disadvantage, for it makes it possible to cut down the weight of the haversack load on long marches. Considerable complaint has been made in the past regarding the small size of the infantry four. The cavalry tent, however, is fifty-five inches in length on the ridge, sixyone inches wide at the base, and when supported on the collapsible poles stands about forty-three inches from the ground at the ridge. The canvases, which is of an olive drab color, is divided into two sections, which button together at the ridge and along the stirring end. A wide hip covers the buttons and prevents leakage. Each hip has a row of buttons and buttonholes, so that any two sections can be used together. The collapsible sides are made in three sections. When the tent is not in use one of these poles and four plums are wrapped in each half of the canvases and become a part of the equipment of the individual soldier. Popular Mechanics. Making Coin Blanks To provide inputs for creating one and five cent pieces, which are being coined in larger quantities every year, a new casting machine that turns out inputs weighing more than five times as much as those before it used has been placed in service in the United States at Philadelphia. In connection with this machine, the larger polys for forming the plate, from which the coin "blanks" are cut, are also being used, the whole purpose of the improved equipment being to turn out more coins in a day. How to perform this is shown in the fact that each year there is now a demand for approximately 100,000 cent pieces and 60,000 cent pieces, or nickels. - Popular Mechanics Wireless Telephony. When entirely perfected it is now seen that wireless telephony will be more perfected than the Wide system as the Voice is correct much more clearly, and if desired the sound can be enlarged so that a whisper on the part of the sender will be received as a shout. With wireless telephony it will be impossible for a receiver successfully to disguise his voice, as every tone, signal and shade of emphasis is carried with remarkable accuracy. Well Censored Shortly after the war began a woman in England received a mail addressed to her by her husband. She opened the envelope, which had already been opened once by the censor, and historial of the expected letter she found a slip of the envelope there. "Your husband is well but too commomative." The God Catch. The coal is not exactly an ephemeral among fishes, but numerically and commercially he can hold his head up with the best of them. During 1814 the waters of the north Atlantic coast, from Georges Bank to Laharnd, yielded 101,720,000 pounds of coal, and 1914 was by no means an unusual year.

It is highly contagious and if contracted by one pupil in a school is apt to spread to many other children. When the disease is contracted a physician should be consulted at once, as the eyeglass may be involved. Trachoma is a serious disease because it has a great tendency to involve the eyeball, producing inflammatory conditions in the interior of the eye. It also causes deformities of the lid and is especially liable to result in the turning in of the marinus of the lid. The treatment of trachoma is mainly preventive. Every person suffering from trachoma should be careful to use only his own towels and handkerchiefs. Individual wash basins should be used. Children should not be allowed to play with toys that have been handled by a child suffering from the disease. Mouth breathing is a serious matter, as it is responsible for many physicalills and germ diseases. A sufferer from this evil should be examined in a physician. Adenoids consist of lymphoid tissue forming a third tonsil and are situated behind the soft palate in what is called the naso-pharynx. It is a perfectly normal structure until it becomes overgrown or infected. Adenoids more or less completely close the passage between the nose and throat and in this way produce the condition known as "mouth breathing." The high cost of living seems to have come to stay in the United States. But if the high cost for one element enables another element to live relatively better and easier the evil has its bright side. The "fat of the land" has suffered little from erratic weather conditions, as shown by building markets of early fruit and vegetables at low prices. New Crown Commission to Calcutta.

JULY 24TH, 1915 A Titled Beauty Who Also Is Interested In Charities and the War. 10 THE COUNTESS OF WARWICK. The Countess of Warwick, famous though she is for her beauty, has achieved quite as much distinction on account of her various and well direct charities, upon which subject she is refectent as she is liberal. Two of the objects upon which her philanthropic energies are expended have assumed such proportions as to be beyond the power of concealment. These are the Easton School of Needlework and the Easex Needlework guild, both excellent organizations to aid the poor of England. The countess recently caused much talk by her criticisms of the social "butterflies" who make a pretense of cursing wounded soldiers in reality posing and hindering the war work. The countess is an optimist, as witness what she said in an interview not so very long ago. "The best time of life is always after or the age of thirty. Better than that is after forty. The very best time of life is fifty-three, which is my age. I just now am having the best time I ever had. At eighteen I was a pestilent. Now I know better. And because of what I've learned—by putting my experiences, my knowledge, to the best uses—I like all of my age, know better how to enjoy the days that are given to me." This is what she thinks about the ballot for women: "The ballot in itself means nothing. What prompts the fight for the ballot in England and America is a fight for sex independence, a fight women are making—and which eventually they will win—because woman, given economic independence plus the ballot, will then be started on the road toward her right to exact a recognition of the fact that she is entitled to exercise her God given impulses quite as much as a man is." The responsibility of the United States in the present war in Europe she colons thus: "It seems to me that the greatest republic of the world has a serious duty, a grave responsibility. It has thriven on a gigantic scale without patronage or privileged classes, without titles without such honors as are merely honors in name. Freed by the Atlantic from the domination of Europe, it has grown in power and given its citizens a life removed from the worst anxieties that beset the continent. It knows what kingship and unlimited power have cost Europe, and it embraces within its wide domain the children of every European nation, who dwell side by side in peace and unity. The freedom enjoyed by the republic would not be bartered for the wealth of the world, for that freedom is the secret of its eternal youth, its boundless energy, its untrammeled progress." --- FURNITURE COVERS. It is especially necessary to have looseness in a slip cover. There must be plenty of "give" to it. Otherwise when one sit on it it is apt to burst open, which would be most disconcerting, particularly if it happened to be some one else's chair. The strip which runs from the extreme top of the chair back down to the seat, across the seat and on down to the required length, should be cut lengthwise of the goods without plecing. Before cutting it should be tucked well into the crease between the seat and the back. The narrow fronts of the arms are cut separately. The arm's inner side is cut-lengthwise and extends over the rest under another seam occurs. The outfit of the arm is cut in one with the to make sure all of the room back is turned up your bedroom place, with the opening up the middle. The back's "thickness" will also need a small place, extending to the arm. The fasteners are balls and sockets, or buttons and buttonholes, or, in some instances, little bows. The balls and sockets are used for the back openings or for little tabs when seats openings are used. Hints for Housewives French Toast Sandwiches French toast sandwiches are among the favorite tea room novelties that housewives find it easy to duplicate at home. These sauté slices of bread, put together in patra, with any preferred filling have the advantage of being adaptable to any of the three meals of the day, while their particular mission is to afford something a little out of the ordinary for the Sunday night tea table or the after theater supper. The occasion must decide what filling is appropriate and whether the French toast sandwich shall be served crisp and dry from the griddle or accompanied by a suitable sauce. The novelty consists in the fact that after the sandwich is made it is pressed closely together and then dipped in a thin butter made in the proportion of one beetroot egg to a half cupful of milk. If the filling of the sandwich is a savory mixture of egg, cheese, fish meat or fowl, a pinch each of pepper and salt should be added to the butter. If, however, the sandwich has a sweet filling, the butter, should be slightly sweetened and flavored with a teaspoonful of sherry. Cook the molten sandwich on a hot, well greased griddle, browning first on one side and then on the other. A shallow iron frying pan will answer the same purpose and olive oil will be found an excellent substitute for butter. For those who like something more than the ordinary breakfast of fruit, cereal and eggs several variations of the French toast sandwich will be found appropriate to accompany the morning coffee. Flaked salt cottail, made a little less moist than in the popular dish known as creamed cottail, is an excellent filling for a breakfast appetizer of this kind. Half fish and half finely chopped hard boiled egg makes an equally good mixture, or a little finely chopped cold boiled potato may be used. Season well and dip in batter. When thoroughly browned on the griddle serve hot, either wilt or without a little white sauce. A particularly appetizing combination, suited to serve at breakfast, luncheon or Sunday night supper, calls for equal parts of finely chopped cold boiled ham and tongue. This should be accompanied with either French or English mustard and moistened with a little cream or rich milk. Lovers of cheese will enjoy a hot cheese sandwich with filling of softened cheese moistened with cream and highly seasoned with Worcestershire sauce and paprika. The batter should also be seasoned, and the finished sandwich when toasted and served piping hot should have much the flavor of a Welsh rabbit. As a simple sweet course at luncheon or family dinner French toast sandwiches with fresh fruit or jam filling will be found delicious. The story goes that we are indebted to a thrifty housewife for this particular brand of toasted sandwiches. In her endeavor to utilize an oversupply of dainty sandwiches prepared for an afternoon tea the idea occurred to her to brown a few of them on the griddle for her lunch the next day. A French Dainty Tenderloin and mushrooms is the plain name in this country, but this way of doing the cookery is purely French. Peel six mushrooms and take out the stems. Then drop them for five minutes in cold salted water. Take them out, dry on a fresh cloth and put them in the plat with a teaspoonful of butter. Cover the plat with a saucer or breakfast plate, set it over the blaze and saute the mushrooms for fifteen minutes without uncovering. Then dump them in a hot little vessel, cover that and keep warm until the steak is cooked. Scrape the tenderloin steak with a knife, rub it over with the cut side of a lemon and put on a faint dust of salt and pepper. Then place the plat with all the mushroom taste and a little of the sauce over the fire and when piping hot put in the steak. It should brown a little on either side, but still be pink inside. When cooked pour the mushrooms back into the pan, add a pinch more of butter if the sauce has dried out, cover the plint, set it in the oven for three minutes and serve at once. As mushrooms draw their own juices, only enough butter to start them cooking must be used when they are first prepared. Chocolate Cake One-half cake of chocolate, one-half cupful of sugar, one-half cupful of milk, one egg yolk and a pinch of salt. Cook in double boiler until smooth. One cupful of sugar, one-half cupful of butter, creamed together well; add two eggs beaten light, one cupful of milk and one level teaspoonful of soda dissolved in milk, two level cupfuls of flour and one tablespoonful of vanilla. Mix this with the other, heat well and bake one-half hour. Tomato Eggs. Best one-half dozen fresh eggs lightly. Rub one-half cupful of tomatoe through a colander and mix with the egg. Bit in one tablepoonful lemon juice, one small onion finely minced, one tablespoonful minced parsley, one teaspoonful each salt and ceryl salt and a creme de lait of sweet parsley. Four into a double boiler, place over boiling water and stir continuously until Alckness to move on to trained heat. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA For Young Folks Eather Morris, Handsome Baby In Staten Island, New York. 1 Photo by American Press Association. Recently in the borough of Richmond, a part of the city of New York, which comprises all of Staten Island, situated in New York bay, there was held a great baby show. Hundreds of little ones from all over the borough were entered for the various prizes. There were many prizes offered for the fattest baby, the most beautiful, the healthiest, the largest for its age, for the tallest and for the shortest, and all the classes were well filled. The charming little miss who captured the prize for beauty is shown in the accompanying picture holding the cup that was awarded her. Among so many handsome children it must have been a difficult question for the judges to decide. But they one and all agreed that Miss Euther Morris was worthy of the high honor. As you can see by the picture, Miss Euther is a young lady of exceeding beauty, but she is altogether too young to care about that, but was highly pleased with the handsome prize. Paper and Pencil Game. When your friends come give them each a paper and pencil and see how many can write the correct answers to these questions: Name a battle found in every farmyard? Name an uninhabited battle? Name a battle unpleasant to bare-foot boys? Name two battles that are found in a forest? Name a good luck battle? Name a stimulating battle? Name an observing battle? Name a comfortable battle? Name a college battle? Name a wealthy battle? Name a cleanly battle? Answers: Cowpens. Wilderness. Stony Point. Fair Oaks and Seven Pine. Horseshoe. Brandywine. Look out Mountain. Fort Pillow. Princes- ton. Rich Mountain. White Plains. Suspended Rock. "Fool Monkey." In this as in so many games it lends case if the players sit in a circle and select a leader. The leader then starts the game by naming an animal whose name begins with "A," as "antelope." The player on his left at once takes this up and adds to it another animal, the name beginning with "B," saying, "Antelope, bison," and passing the turn to his left hand neighbor, who repeats the list, adding, say, "Camel" for "C." And so it goes on, soon becoming a serious tax on the memory and alertness of the players. Whoever bungles the catalogue or falls to find an animal with the letter for which he or she is responsible is halled in mockery as "fool monkey," and this name must be mentioned by succeeding players instead of the animal which the dollinquent ought to have uttered, but muddled. Experience shows that the ranks of the "fool monkey" will soon be well filled. Interesting Bird Items. Birds seen eating army worms were: Robins, catbirds, meadow lurks, chewins, thrushes and wrens. In Germany the owners of vineyards are encouraged by their government to distribute nesting material and erect birdhouses in their vineyards to attract feathered foes of insect pests. The swiftest bird is said to be the frigate bird. This bird is able to fly, under favorable conditions, 200 miles an hour. Earliest Watches. Some of the earliest watches were made in Nuremberg. Their shape was almost round, and they were called "Nuremberg eggs." Why the Owl Is Wise. "As wise as an owl," my father said One day while talking to Uncle Ted. Now I've thought and thought about that speech. And every time I hear one screech So I could, learn to be as wise And see as much with my wee eyes.

Some of the powers which engaged in recent world peace movements were accused of having an eye to the main chance. Not ready for war, they consoled peace. Later, on all too slight provocation for grievous peace lovers, they rushed into war. This country's peace principles date from a conflict which was relatively one of the largest of modern times. Not alone sentiment, but bitter experience was at the root of our hearty exposure of arbitration and peace. Conditions as profound would have discovered a better way to settle the European quarrels than appeal to the sword. But normal thinks in terms of battleships and heavy guns and strong battalions. Like the rulers with a gun, only slight provocation is needed to draw fire. After yielding objectively or perhaps only diplomatically—Japan the Chinese are raising a defense fund and preparing for national military organization. "Better late than never," and perhaps it is not too late. In ordinary times the relations between Japan and China would have aroused keen interest in the United States. Matters would not have been permitted to drift so far if the situation in Europe had been normal. But with all the great commercial nations preoccupied and with even the United States involved in foreign troubles Japan found a favorable moment for exerting pressure upon China and galvanizing concessions the extent of which is still unknown to outsiders. Japan is said to have given assurances that the treaty rights of the Uptown States were not affected by the new China-Japanese arrangement. --- The proposal at the pan-American conference in Washington for a joint marine fleet to promote closer trade and social relations, with a joint court to revise and establish suitable laws to regulate international transactions, looks good. It would be a sort of trading union, and all parties engaged would find a common interest in submitting to the rules without coercion. For the joint fleet a joint flag would be needed, and a suggestion has been made for a "pan-American flag," something new under the sun. we will on rainbow, baum, a nine-year-old only die from the many tered when he was hit high-bound passenger Reading railway while ball on the trucks at Pa.

RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Exploding Cape Burn Boy. When Mrs. William Brown, of Jam- son City, near Bloomsburg, Pa., ad- ministered corporal punishment on her young son she regretted that she didn't first investigate. A resounding explosion followed the meeting of the palm of her hand with the boy's trouser seat, and instantly the lad's clothing caught fire. She struck a box of caps for his toy pistol. His body and knees, to which the caps fell through the boy's bloomer trousers, were seriously burned. Jersey Prosecutor Gets Two Years. Matthew Jefferson, the former prosecutor of Cape May county, N.

CHURCH, PITTS- BURG, PA. The only thing we regret to say of this service is: It is finished! Grand, in its physical occasion; magnificent, in its spiritual essentiality; repleendent, in its moral beauty, each feature of the installation was characterized by a pomp as ethical as it was sacred; by an inspiration as intense as it was divine. It was a great effort to do a great honor to a great and worthy young man. Virginia sent up one of its mightiest men; Eastern Pennsylvania, one of its most gifted orators; and New York, one of its most illustrious churchmen to intensify by their representation, the glory of this occasion. The curtain of this imposing melodrama was lifted June the 27th and lowered July the 6th. Western Pennsylvania was represented by the brilliant Dr. Rudney Forrester, pleasing and powerful in the scriptures, he spoke as if the Mystic Residual had dropt the honey of persecution up on his lips, he lifted his voice for the kingdom of God, as if his heart had been touched by five coals from the altar of Divine illumination; by the Inimitable Dr. Ernest Hall, that comprehensive Theologian, whose words of wisdom, relentless with the sanctity of Heaven, swept his audience into rapes beaten by, by the distinguished Dr. Dwelle, that inspiring, erudite and master pulpitper, from whose Lips Divine precepts fell like crystal heads of honey and sweetened every blessed hope his astonished hearers entertained of the judgment to come. Dr. Dwelle was her ideal in the imma- jority of his mind, welding in the gran dour of his speech, the omnipotence of truth. The representation was fur- thered by the noted Dr. Russell, that delightful and constructive thinker, whose forceful utterances of the truth graced his hour with commendable merit—as he reasoned of righteous neas; by the illustrious Dr. Howard, that matchless man of constructive equation—that man of profound thie tc conceptions whose instructive elo- quence, like a consuming fire, quick- ened his listeners with an crazy com- prehension only by the imagination; by the charitable Dr. Messer, that philanthropic and interesting pragmat ist, whose spiritual sentiments, like chance pearls thrown upon the golden sands of the shore, enriched the hearts of the people with resolutions of noble endeavor; and by the celebrated Dr. Drake, that startling prodigy of eveng- ham, under whom we sat, amazed by the mesmerism of his action; charmed by the witchery of his di- tion, entraced by the openturb of his burning message,—the cinching facts, the refine analogy, the keen demand, the clear reply—the torrent of his na- ive eloquence was over-mastering! New York was ably represented by the incomparable Dr. W. W. Brown, that constructive, progressive and master churchman, who startled the vast assembly by the spiritual might of his message. He scattered, like glittering grains of gold, the injunctions of Heaven upon the hearts of an enthusiastic people. Eastern Pennsylvania was represented by the eminent Dr. E. W. Moore, that refined versatile, and captivating Philadelphia, who lifted his voice like a trumpet of peace, and a shook, to the center, the formidable dynasty of civil and moral strife. His impression was tremendous. Virginia sent up one of its mightiest men—a man holding the strategic position along the line of the race's cultural advancement—a man, representing one of the most successful institutions for the higher culture of which the race can boast. His appearance marked the glorious climax of this glorious event. The gentleman was President R. C. Woods, A. M., D. D., the Gamaliel of that school of the prophets, located at Lynchburg. Vs. This accomplished scholar and logician was magnanimous in his racial contentions. His address was fragrant with the hallowed incense of logic, richly jewelled with resplendent imagery; burning with passion; teeming with right cousin invectives; aglow with the scintillations of reason; melting with pathos; vocal with melody; chaste; flexible and flowing—flowing7-his argument swept triumphant, rushed, relentless as a cataract. The principles of his convictions blazed brilliantly, sparkling as gems encrusted in a crown of gold. His was a voice of self-dedication to a righteous cause. His was the voice of heroic self-sacrifice in the civic interest of a struggling, persecuted. It was a fitting consummation mitation was at white heat. He charmed, he startled, he electrified those whose cause he was nobly championing. These mighty men of God brought the choicest trophies of their varied pastoral and social experiences and laid them at the feet of that peerless prince of preachers, the gifted Dr. J. C. Austin. The spirit of music, summoned by the incantations of Volatiles, breathed upon us throughout these services and our souls trembled under the pulsations of her immortal rhythms. The talented vocal artists, who so splendidly entertained us are possessed with that musical feeling which is the supplement test of the artistic temperament. For expression is the sense of the musical art. A symphony banquet marked the invitate class of Dr. Amstera's great installation portion. We were immediately drawn to the erything was commensurate with the solemnity of the occasion and the personal dignity of the man whose induction into his high office, was being celebrated. We sincerely rejoice in the ascendancy of this mighty gospel preacher. He is worthy of every tribute that grateful hearts can bestow upon him. He is a new and brilliant star in the galaxy of apostolic divinity. He is God's choice, for God's place, among God's people. He is not one unit behind the intellectual and spiritual characterization of those gospel grants who participated, with signal effect, in the solemnities of his installation. As a loyal race man, Dr. Austin's sense of human equity is masculine; his connections of human justice herculean; his love of human happiness the spotless affection of a child. If his pleasing countenance is prophetic of a tender conscience, the gentle persuasion of his smile betrays the inward wealth of his heart. If race interest is measured by a free, personal sacrifice—if race sympathy is evidenced by a compassionate warmth of spirit then we have one of the most unique examples of Christian herodian in the person and life of this perplex prince of public servants. Last Thursday evening, at Dr. Austin's stately residence, a brilliant reception was tendered the President of Virginia Seminary and College, Prof. R. C. Woods, at which time those present delightfully listened to an inspiring address delivered soberly, comprehensively and convincingly by that distinguished educator. Dr. Austin's talented and cultured wife graciously conducted that happy gathering into many species of surprising treasures. At the conclusion of this reception, a society for the popularization and advancement of higher culture among our people, was formed. That culture which develops soul qualities, that produces mind wealth, that puts one in possession of himself, and identifies him with the thought movement of the world, Is the culture, this society holds paramount. Let those who have seen the light, Join us. With one accord we pray that Heaven may speed Dr. Austin upon this new and magnificent gospel conquest. E. L. DAVIN A MUSICAL ROMANCE HAS SPRUNG FROM THE PANAMA PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION. For years the official herald of the Exposition, with Golden trumpet, has awakened the world to every great occasion since the conception of San Francisco's Exposition ambition. It has remained for Madame Bernie Paquette to discover that in the home of this herald there is a golden voice whose notes are as clear and high as those of the trumpet — a voice that may ename the world by its own beauty of tone and not by rejection of anything it represents. Madame Cartea, Hooper, wife of William Hooper, whose flair et costume and pertained bugle are known almost as widely as the name of the Exposition's President, has been termed by musical critics a "second Black Pattie." No less an authority than Madame Paquette has so pronounced her. Madame Hooper was born in Louisiana and during her several years residence in San Francisco she has been a student at San Francisco Musical Conservatory Gifted with a good voice her training has developed wonderful possibilities as a coloratura turquoise soprano. She has sung at many notable functions, and it was at once recently that she gained such unstinted praise from Madame Pasquale. Plans are being made for the appearance of Madame Hooper at one of the Exposition functions soon to be announced, and following this she will fill a number of engagements already closed in the East. A DESTRUCTION WITH A DIFFERENCE On the 19th day of June last, there appeared in the "Times" Dispatch the statement that H. R. Pollard, City Attorney, had received a telegram informing him that the segregation ordinance of Louisville had been upheld by the Supreme Court of Kentucky. It was further stated that the ordinance was the same as that passed by the Richmond City Council, and for that reason the decision was of great pervasive value upon the Courts. The decision referred to is that of Harris the City of Louisville, but the Court expressly held that the Louisville ordinance, was not subject to the criticism of the Baltimore ordinance, which was held invalid in State v. Gurry, upon the ground of the failure of the Baltimore Ordinance to afford protection of vested rights existing at the time of the enactment of the ordinance; because the Louisville ordinance contains the following: "Nothing "horein contained shall be construed to prevent any person, who, at the date of the passage of this ordinance, shall have acquired or possessed the right to occupy any building as a residence, place of a bode or place of assembly, from exercising ausp right." The Richmond City ordinance is unlike the Louisville ordinance to that it falls as does the Baltimore ordinance to provide for the right of a person, who shall have purchased a residence prior to the enactment of the ordinance, to live in that residence after the passage thereof. Section 4 of the Richmond City ordinance says: "That nothing in this ordinance shall affect the location of residences made previous to the approval of this ordinance," whereas the Louisville ordinance permits one who has not located the building as a residence prior to the passage of the ordinance, but who acquired the property prior thereto, to locate and occupy the building as a residence after the passage of the ordinance. The Kentucky Supreme Court bases its decision expressly upon that ground. The Court points out in its opinion that the decision of the Georgia Court, holding the Atlanta ordinance unconstitutional, was by the inter Court Court upon the ground that the ordinance designated the right of the neighbor on either side of a vowel residence to select the vowel.

(Wednesday,) The surrender of the German military forces in German southwest Africa to Gen. Botha of the Union of South Africa command, is hailed in London as a great and "decisive" victory. In Berlin it is received as the sole and only victory in which troops fighting under the British flag have achieved in the war to date. And it took ooof general to achieve that. The significance of the German surrender is not great; it brings but few laurels to the British crown, and in the end will mean nothing at all. A handful of Germans in the colony held off the forces of the South African Union for eleven months and then were submerged by the simple application of superior to inferior numbers. There was no disgrace in the surrender. LESSON FOR THE UNITED STATES Germany is now for the moment practically colonyless. She has been stripped of Kiauchau in China, of the South Sea possessions, and of those which she had in Africa. She has been stripped of them by England and Japan, under the covering protection of Great Britain's command of the seas. I confess to the inability to see how any American can overlook the lesson contained in these facts for this country. Our own Pacific territory is equally at the mercy of this same power, and will fall before it the moment it is invoked against us. Those however, who attempt to read "a famous victory," into the news which comes to us from South Africa fail to grasp the general trend of events and the accomplishments to date of Germany, on the other hand, and of the allies on the other. It is never so dark as just before dawn. The irresidence of the talk of "crushing Germany" and of fighting until the allies have won their ends is a forewarning that peace would be welcomed by those who talk so much of continuing the war. I am convinced that peace will return to a war torn world more suddenly and far earlier than many are inclined to then. GERMAN POSITION WHEN PEACE COMES And when peace comes, Germany will come in a position to do some bargaining. With practically all of Belgium in her hands, and a considerable portion of France Courland and the better half of Poland she will be in a situation to demand the return of her lost colonies and perhaps a great deal more. Should the war go on any considerable period she undoubtedly will be positioned at the end of it to require better terms from the allies. We are not interested in the general colonial policy of Germany, but we are interested in the return to a friendly nation of the islands in the southern Pacific which Japan holds at the present time. We should long ago haveacked Japan up to a strict observance of the promises, which she made to us and to the central world generally when she entered the war, and when the discussion of peace comes upon the taps we shall forget our rights and our interest if we fail to bring her strictly to book in this respect. What Germany has lost in incarnate parable with what Germany has won, "A fair exchange is no robbery", and Germany "undoubtedly will see to it that the exchange is fair." Holden, W.

DRIVERS OF FIRE APPARATUS MUST USE PRODENCE, SAYS ANDERSON Colonel George Wayne Anderson assistant city attorney, has sent a communication to the board of fire commissioners amplifying his opinion in regard to the speed of fire apparatus. He says that the apparatus may not be run at unlimited speed, without the exercise of due care on the part of the driver. Although sections 20 and 28 of the traffic regulations exempt city vehicles from the rules regarding the speed of vehicles in the city streets this does not relieve the responsibility of the driver Colonel Anderson maintains. It does not give the department unlimited freedom to travel at unlimited speed the driver or occupant of the apparatus sees fit. He says that the provision of the common law make it necessary for the driver to exercise reasonable care and defense. He quotes numerous authors to sustain his opinion. (The News Leader) Burnley Coleman and attempting to burnley Coleman and attempting to miss Miss Eulah Coleman her daughter, at their home at Raphapannock Academy on Sunday night and were sentenced to be electrocuted on August 20. Rollins confessed and waived trial by jury. In his confession, he implicated Mathews, who was tried by jury. The jury, after being out five minutes brought in a verdict of guilty, imposing the death penalty. During the trial, Mathews also made a confession and claimed that Rolledins led him on. Rolledins claimed in his confession that Mathews led him on. They agreed in the main points. Court convened at 10:30 o'clock, and a grand jury brought in indictments against each of the prisoners. The jury after hearing the statements of Rolledins and Mathews and Mrs. Coleman retired to its room and quickly brought in a verdict. The Commonwealth was represented by W. E. Ennis, who was assisted by Colonel Richard J. Beale, and submitted the case to the Jury without argument. The prisoners had no counsel, and while the court desired to appoint counsel for them, all of the attorneys who were not engaged in the case had left town. There was a large crowd present, but there was perfect order. This was one of the most revolting cases that has ever happened in this State. Collins and Mathways were taken to Richmond this evening by Sheriff T. B. Gill and confined in the Henrico County Jail for safe keeping. They will be taken later to the penitentiary for execution.
