The Leading Weekly Journal in the State. The Grand Jury Heard Enough to Justify CHARGE OF "FIRST DEGREE" MURDER. Russell E. T. Walker Indicted-Charged with the Murder of His Father. Tragic Turn to the Celebrated Case--Dismissal in Police Court No Bar to Criminal Prosecution--Bailed for His Appearance in the Month of October--All Witnesses Not Examined. A Resume of the Evidence. VOLUME XXXII, NO. 37 The Gran CHAR Russell E. Tragic Turn to No Bar to Cr in the Mon The indictment of Russell E. T. Walker upon a charge of "first degree" murder last Monday came as a surprise to practically every one in the Hustings Court-room and to a large proportion of the people of the city. Somehow, they seemed to regard the case as proceeding along a set groove and that no matter what happened, the end would be the same—a dismissal of the proceedings. One of the leading counsel for the prosecution shared the same opinion. --- NO INDICTMENT EXPECTED That the Walker family and Attorney J. Thomas Hewin were sure on a dismissal was evident, although in conjunction with Hon. H. M. Smith Jr., they were taking no chances it was evident that Attorney Smith, that sature luminary, was not absolutely certain about it, and that he viewed with apprehension the grand jury, with Mr. Edgar H. Ferguson, the foreman who had the case in hand. He shrewdly succeeded in having Mrs. Maggie L. Walker admitted to the grand jury room, to make her statement, although she was not a commonwealth's witness and, strictly speaking, had no right before the grand jury, unless that body sent for her on its own motion. TWO INFLUENTIAL WITNESSES With Coroner William H. Taylor and that magnetic Mrs. Walker, it was thought that there would be but a remote chance of securing an indictment against Russell E. T. Walker for the killing of his father. A grand jury, as a rule hears only one side—the witnesses presumed to be against the defendant, or if the witness is not against the defendant, it hears him or her upon the presumption that the information which he or she may possess can be used against the prisoner. This is why many friends of the Walker family have been summoned by the commonwealth and among these was Mrs. Maggie L. Walker's own mother. ALL TESTIMONY SECRET. No one can enter a grand jury room but the witness and the testimony given is confidential and secret. No one is permitted to tell what occurred therein. The commonwealth's attorney and the sheriff or his deputy can enter, but they, too, are under a bond of secrecy. So it was that when the witnesses were sworn, and they disappeared behind that oak door of the grand jury room, they were immuno from interference from any quarter. Attorney H. M. Smith*, Jr. and Attorney J. Thomas Hewin could not enter the grand jury room and they made no effort to do so. A. SURPRISE TO THE PUBLIC. Counsel for Russell E. T. Walker sprang a surprise when they had their client in court, accompanied by his mother. Neither was required to be there. It silenced the gospers, however, and it showed that he had no desire to escape from the clutches of the law. It is also worthy of mention that the grand jury did not hear all of the "army" of witnesses, which Detective Sergeant Wiltshire, Detective Bargent Baldy and Attorney J. R. Pollard had morallled to maintain their contention that a murder had been committed. One of the witnesses who testified, stated that he was surprised to find out that the grand jury knew as much about the case as he knew. THE COMMONWEALTH'S ATTORNEY'S MOTION. Accordingly, only the witnesses that justified before the Coroner's jury were heard and upon their testimony they were in a true life. When Commissioner Baldy insisted that the bill be allowed to be heard in the Police Court, when the case was pending there, another surprise was sprung, equalled only by the indictment returned by the grand jury. Mrs. Maggie L. Walker went on the bond. WALKER MAY BE INNOCENT The indictment of Russell E. T. Walker does not mean necessarily that he is guilty of murdering his father. It does mean, though, that there is a strong probability that he did murder him and that this probability must be probed into by the police authorities and passed upon by a trial jury. When this trial jury acquits him, he shall be able to preclaim to all the world his innocence and no responsible citizen shall say him nay. This trial will entail much expense upon the commonwealth and upon Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, who evidently is amply provided with funds in her own right. THE QUESTION OF BAIL The fact that Russell E. T. Walker was again admitted to ball, can be explained only upon one hypothesis, and that is that his physician, Dr. H. L. Harris, Sr. and his son satisfied Commonwealth's Attorney Minneet Folkes that confinement in the city jail would endanger his life and that Hon. H. M. Smith, Jr. assured the same official that he would see to it that his client would be present when the case was called for trial. Mr. Smith's earnestness and hypnotic powers are recognized in legal circles in this city. It is needless to say that Attorney J. R. Pollard was jubilant over the outcome. Counsel for Russell E. T. Walker were not depressed, stating that they had no doubt about his complete vindication at the hands of the trial jury. ATTORNEY WENDENBERG'S SIGNIFICANT REMARKS Commonwealth's Attorney Minutee Folkes has not been seen. As for Hon L. O. Wendenberg, he simply said all he wanted was evidence, and he was confident that there was plenty of it out there in the Ward, if some one would see to it that it was forthcoming and the colored people would come forward and tell what they knew. It may be well to state that Detective Sergeant Wiltshire was out of the city last Monday. His theory is that Armistead Walker was assaulted and chased out upon the back porch of the Walker home before he was shot and killed. THAT BLOW ON THE HEAD There was an abrasion upon Armistead Walker's head, between the back of the head and the neck. It could have been made by falling backward, but Detective Sergeant Wiltshire does not believe he fell backward. His face was hidden by the curtain but his body was exposed. He was evidently leaning forward. As he was shot in the brain, Detective Sergeant Wiltshire contends that he must have fallen forward and not backward. A bullet in the brain would have paralyzed all his organs and he would have crumpled ALLEGED DISCREPANCIES In this position, he could not have received the blow on the back of the head by failing against the railing. It is also contended that there is a discrepancy in the statement made to Coroner William H. Taylor on the night of June 20, 1915, and that of Mrs. Maggie L. Walker. Russell is said to have told Coroner Taylor that he was in the yard and he saw a man step across the opening between Rev. Cly, W. T. Johnson's residence and his mother's residence. He said he ran upstairs and went into his father's room, got the reviver out of the earlier shower in the basement and slid at the man on the back porch. Mrs. Maggie L. Walker stated that Russell was at her side on the front, when the James' boy told her that a man was on top of the house, that he ran up two steps at a time, went into his father's room, got the pistol out of the bureau drawer in his father's room and shot the man that he saw upon the back porch, that he was standing in the doorway of the laboratory when he did so. He threw the pistol away into a jardiner at the foot of the stair. THOSE TWO PISTOLS She was so sure that Armistead, her husband had the only pistol that was in the house, that she told the officer that there were two pistols. She thought that Armistead had one and Russell the other. The prosecution claims to be able to prove that when the James boy brought the message about the men being on top of the house, Armistead Walker was lying dead on the back porch, that the mea that Mrs. Fannie James sore that she saw upon the roof of the house were, in fact Armistead Walker, Sr. and his son, Russell B. T. Walker, that this fact was corroborated by Blover P. Turner, Sr., who stated that he remained in the Walker home until Armistead returned from the roof. WHEN HE LEFT ARMISTEAD He left Armistead at the front door who requested him to permit him to keep this pistol, touching his pocket over night; that he had previously given Armistead the revolver with Mrs. Maggi L. Walker's consent, after having refused to give it to Russell, who had come to his place of business to borrow it for use against burglaries whom he claimed had visited the Walker home the night before and the Police Department had been notified it may be well to state that Russell was the only one who saw the alleged burglar climb to the roof. A QUESTION OF TIME From the time that Beverly Turner Mr. left the front door to the point on Second Street, where he heard the re- port, which he thought was a buried automobile tire, it was found to take Mr. Turner just one minute and a quarter walking at his usual gait and timed by an assistant. The greatest length of time taken was one minute and a half and Mr. Turner in counting the time consumed coming down the steps makes the statement that he heard the report in less than two minutes after he left the Walker home WANT TO HARMONIZE INCONSISTENCIES It was to harmonize these seeming inconsistencies that Commonwealth's attorney Folkes and his associate, Attorney J. R. Pollard desired to cross-examine Russell E. T. Walker had he gone upon the stand. It is optional with Russell whether he goes upon the stand, or not, and his failure to testify at any stage of the proceedings or even to testify at all cannot be used against him. Hon. H. M. Smith, Jr. explains his declination to permit Russell to testify, although he had promised so to do, upon the ground that the case has assumed an unexpected phase and not knowing what course the prosecution expects to pursue. It would be unwise for him to go upon the stand at this time. ATTORNEY POLLARD'S CRITICISM Attorney J. R. Pollard declares that Mr. Smith, testified for Rennell, Mrs. Walker testified for Rennell, although Rennell is of age, married, claiming that he accidentally shot his father and yet he is not permitted to testify for himself. The defense develops upon the fact that Armstrong Waller then was hidden, when the final shot was fired and that Rennell had no chance to shoot. (Continued on 519 pages.)

This public is invited to be present. EDITOR MITCHELL TRAVELS EDITOR MITCHELL TRAVELS (Continued from last week.) It was 5:20 when we left the Union Station via C. & O. R. Rector Glassglow, Va. In the party were Miss M. L. Chiles, Mrs. Gertrude A. Patterson Mrs. Rowena White, Dr. E. R. Jefferson and Roy L. J. Morris. It had been a long time since I had travelled in this section and I the scenes looked, familiar. The winding James and its muddy water, almost at its source made a picturesque landscape. A FRIENDLY GREETING Arriving at Baleony Falls, which is also called Glacaw, our party M. L. R. Woolridge, Jr. He had brought with him a six seat (for more, according to the size of the passenger) wagon, and in a short time afterwards we were pleasantly located in Mr. and Mrs. Woolridge, Jr.'s residence. The madam and her daughter were engaged preparer breakfast and in company with Dr. Jefferson. I strolled over the town of Glacaw, Mr. Woolridge is the only blacksmith in the place. He had notified his patrons in advance that he would be closed Wednesday, July 21. THE VILLAGE BLACKSMITH I saw a white gentleman come up in his automobile and whisk blacksmith Wollridge awake. He soon returned. Then another, who had come across the mountain wanted help, for his horse had gone lame. Again the door of the blacksmith shop swung open and I stood by, watching the operation of building a large mountain traveler. In speaking of ages, it seemed that this horse was 23 years old. Mr. Wollridge stated that there was one there which had done service up to the age of 22 years. A HAPPY FAMILY I was interested. Another white customer camp and I assisted him using the old chalet on a farming implement. I then went over to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Fitz, where the ladies were stopp'g. When I returned to the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Woolridge, breakfast was ready. I enjoyed the repeat. One of Mr. and Mrs. Woolridge's daughtera is a student at the Deaf and Dumb school, at Newport News. Va. No one would think that she was "a child of misfortune" having been stricken when a child four years old. She is now a most attractive young lady, who is over careful of her personal appearance. THE COMMITTEE'S WELCOME She and her sister are so nearly the same size that they could easily be mistaken for twins. I had been informed that the K. of P. lodge at Natural Bridge and the headwatter and the waiters would send a delegation down to meet me and my party and carry me over to Natural Bridge. It was about 11 o'clock when they arrived. The committee consisted of Messrs. Sterling B. DeLaney, chairman; G. Emory Smith, C. C.; M. K. Diamond; Jno. M. Carter, D. M. G. C.; George Lewis. It was an impressive scene. They brought an automobile, an eight passenger mountain wagon and a four scat surrey. THOSE GHASTLY CHASMS In a short time all of us were on our way to Natural Bridge Hotel, about seven miles and a half away. The road was rough at first, but later it was better. At some parts it was dangerous. It reminded me of the quotation, "Therea'c a step between me and death," for down the mountain side the railroad could be seen about 200 feet below. To go over a precipice was sure death. An intervening five feet of space would have carried us there. We passed Natural Bridge station. Here the C. & Q. R. R. and the N. & W. R. R. meet. PRESIDENT STEVENS GREAT WORK Soon after leaving there, I saw in the distance the orange colored private car of the great railroad magnate, Mr. George W. Stevens. He is one of the best engineers in the country. It is due to his wisdom and foreseen that this great railroad system is what it is today. He was general manager for years under President Ingalls. Then came a change. Dostiny developed its purpose, and he became the president of the great railroad system, which he had done so much to create. All of this came to my mind as I gamed at the "yellow car" just as a skiing at Greenville. Mr. Stevens and his family are here, was the re- (Continued on 4th Pane) COLORED GRADUATE WINS PRIZE.

Walker, who was charged with the murder of his father, Armistead Walker. The preliminary docket consumed some time and it was eleven o'clock before the able Clerk Walter Christian began the call of the roll of witnesses. Sealing of the call was the first one on the list. He came forward with a swagger specializing "Yes, I am coming." He made another leering remark and seemed utterly oblivious of his surroundings. A JOYIAL WITNESS. "What is the matter with you, boy?" aternly asked the judge. He only hung his head. "I fine you $5.00 for contempt of court," said His Honor. Attorney Hewin was on his feet in an instance remarking that while it was essential to preserve the dignity of the Court, he desired His Honor to understand that this witness was an idiot. FINE UNDER ADVISEMENT. Judge Richardson paused a moment and then stated that he would take that matter under consideration later. Hon. H. M. Smith, Jr. later appeared in court as the witnesses were being assembled. Attorney J. Thomas Hew in was also an interested observer. Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, although not required to be present, was in court with him himself at her side. At Hewin stated that they had succeeded in getting the commonwealth to consent to her appearing, too, before the grand jury and state her side of the case. ATTORNEY POLLARD THERE. TOO. There were several new witnesses in the case. Attorney J. R. Pollard was in the Clerk's Office most of the time, but came into the court room after the witnesses had left the room. Mrs. Lil He D. Sawyer, of 108 E. Leigh Street was reported to be out of the city. Mrs. Elizabeth Mitchell, Mrs. Maggie L. Walker's mother was reported sick and unable to appear. Attorney H. M. Smith, Jr. was puzzled, apparently, at the persistence of the prosecution. He could not figure it out any other way than that these people were after the mother instead of the boy. WANTED MRS. MITCHELL BROUGHT. Commonwealth's Attorney Mintree Polkes said: "If your Honor please I call your attention to the certificate of a doctor that she is unable to attend court and I have received information that she is able to be present. I want to see if something can be doctoral if Mrs. Elizabeth Mitchell is the mother of Mrs. Maggie L. Walker and grandmother of Russell E. T. Walker. I have received information from J. H. Pollard that she is able to be present. He then read a statement from Dr. H. L. Harris stating that Mrs. Elizabeth Mitchell was incompetent as a doctor, and her forced attendance might result in serious injury to her. He reads as follows: DR. HARRIS .CERTIFICATE Richmond, Va. July 36, 1916. This is to certify that Mrs. Elizabeth Mitchell is a Post Parafaytic, and is incompetent as a witness in Court. She is both mentally and physically incompetent, and forced attendance may result in further and permanent injury. H. L. Harris, M. D. Common wealth's Attorney Folkes continued, "In justice to all parties, I suggest that Dr. W. S. Gordon accompany Dr. Harris and examine the witness to determine the facts in the case." Dr. Gordon was telephoned. JUDGE RICHARDSON'S REMARKS Judge Richardson remarked that they might accept Dr. Harris state, most. Communwealth's Attorney Porter re-marked that Dr. Harris was a reputable physician, who had援获 here many years and he had no desire to reflect upon him by recommending such a course. He was of the opinion that it would be the most satisfactory way of adjusting the matter. This was answered and the plaintiffs were not Rid to proceed to the Walker residence. THE GRAND JURY REPORTS. In the meantime the petit jury was called. They stood aside while the grand jury made a report of a batch of indictments. The grand jury retired. A peculiar feature of the situation was the appearance of Hon. H. M. Smith. Jr. as assistant to the Commonwealth's Attorney in the prosecution of a white man (Syrian) for the murder of another Syrian and the appearance of Hon. L. O. Wendenberg as counsel for the defendant. This case was entered into while the prisoner at the bar entered as a defendant. After further talk with Judge Richardson, Attorney Hewin announced that His Honor had remitted the fine imposed on Leslie West. LIST OF WITNESSES. Louisie W. Dr. W. H. Taylor, Coroner, D. P.

The Forty-sixth Annual season of Virginia Baptist Sunday School Convention will be held at Ebonzeer Baptist Church, Richmond Va. August 18-22 1915. All schools convention associations unions etc. connected with the Virginia Baptist School Convention, and State Baptist Young people's Union are urged and requested to make choice of their delegates early and send their names and addresses to our local committee, which will by correspondence make assignments to homes. The contribution for Missiones, Education, general expenses etc. of the convention at Portsmouth, Va., showed an increase of several per-cent above that of several years past and it will be used to contribute to the contribution for the convention of this year a still greater increase will be noted. More money is needed for missions because it is our desire to increase the missionary work by placing more missionaries on the field so that a larger field in our state can be covered. Our appeal for Education is made because of our desire to all in the training of missionaries. COMMITTEE ON ASSIGNMENT OF DELEGATES. All persons desiring to go to the New Israel Convention in Chicago in a special car (a sleeper) will write me at soon that we may arrange for the car. (Continued from 1st page) Philips the great great nephew of Worsell Phillips the man who declared that if I had long enough he would make Boston a town to bear the footsteps or a slave, pulled the cord releasing the mantle which for several weeks had veiled the statue. As the folds fell away from the figure of the great abolitionist "Glory Glory Hallelujah!" burst from a chorus of Colored Singers gathered from Boston Churches and then the first song gave way to "America." Fervent was the prayer of Rev. Mountrose W. Thornton pastor of the historic Charles St. Church and also chairman of the executive committee of the Local Equal Rights League, Sterling and practiced the tribute of the acting Mayor Geo. W. Coleman a man of Wendell Phillipine principles, as was every speaker Illuminating and forceful was the life story by Secretary Wm. D. Brickham. Sweet and inspiring was the songing by the Colored singers led by Dr. Walker, O. Taylor and J. Therman Jones, and the music of the brass band of company 1 6th regiment of Mass, Militia. Picturesque and touching was the concomium by the only survivor of the New England abolitionists Frank Sawborn, now 83 years old, still active a co-worker with Phillips. Earnest an unqualified was the praise by the spokesman for Colored anthro­naries, William Monroe Trotter, himself a devotee laboring to save the fruits of Phillips' labor, the hero his father's friend. Tired with oloquence born of love was the eu­logy of Ireland's friend and friend of all oppressed, by Michael J. Jordon, son of O'Connell's island borne, Tuneful and noble the pauce of the poet of the occasion, grandson of a party near her searing say that there are risks in that field, name, William Lloyd Garrison. Every participant, emulator of the Prophet of Liberty, champion of the slave while the colored women of the Woman's Relief Corps held the colors. Not since the enactment of the 15th Amendment, Phillipa's great work have so many assembled in Massachusetts settles at an occasion for the presentation of the cause of freedom for the Colored American. THE STATCE ITSELF. The monument, a masterpiece by Daniel Chester French, the sculptor, represents the great abolitionist standing at a reading desk, his right hand resting upon the desk, his left hand out stretched and holding a bit of broken letter. Upon the marble back-ground above the head of the statue are the words 'Whether in chains or in laurels the knives nothing but victory'. On the front of the words in rarefied bronze letters, Wendell Phillips, 1811 - 1844 Prophet of Liberty (Champion of the Slave. On the reverse side of the background is this quotation from Phillips, 'I love unexpressibly these streets of Boston over whose pavements my mother held up tenderly my baby feet, and if God grants me time enough 'I will make them too pure to bear the footsteps of a slave. The exercises were opened by Wendell Phillips, 1811 - 1844 Wendell Phillips memorial association, who introduced the setting May you Geo W. Coleman, president of the City Council. On the 100th anniversary of the birth of Wendell Phillips, Nov. 29th 1911, a celebration of this event was held in Fenwick Hall under the auspices of the National Equal Rights League, an organization chiefly of colored citizens and the New江岸 land suffrage League. The suggestion was then made that the citizens of Boston erect a statue in honor of Wendell Phillips and the mayor city Council and of Hon. John G. Gregory, mayor of Boston, Mr. Ernest E. Smith, one of the Council. By the committee appointed, at the centenary celebration a meeting was called of 50 representative citizens who requested the Mayor to provide for this statue. Mr. Coleman then introduced in turn four speakers who presented a verbal panorama of Wendell Phillips' life. William D. Brigham spoke on "Morning" 6 youth and vision Franklin Benjamin Sanborn on "Noon" Abolition Period. William Monroe Trotter on "Afternoon: Citizenship for the Colored Americans," and Michael J. Jordan on "Evening"; what Mr. Phillips did for Ireland, also other philanthropists. MR. TROTTER'S ADDRESS Mayor Coleman in introducing William Monroe Trotter, said that nothing was so appropriate as for the Colored race to have a spokesman in dedicating a monument to Wendell Phillips and that there could be no better way to honor William Monroe Trotter, whom every Bostonian, who is half alive knows. Mr. Trotter said that Wendell Phillips was the originator of the north's policy of reconstruction and a pioneer advocate of the ballot for Americans. No one had done more for the republic than Phillips in this or more for its permanence than he. No human being ever rendered greater service to Colored Americans. Mr. Trotter spoke on "Noon—the Abolition Period" of Wendell Phillips' life. He said Phillips was the pioneer advocate of the ballot for Colored Americans and no one-of its citizens did more for the Afro-American. FREEDOM EQUALITY, SUFFRAGE Wendell Phillips believed as we do, that the greatest thing is human freedom," said Mr. Trotter "and it cannot be maintained without equality and there can be no equality with other stand here to do honor to Wendell Phillips, and we owe our ablity, to he. CLAIM JOHNSON SOLD THE BIG FIGHT (From the New York Sun) Many attacks on the genuiness of the Jees Willard Jack Johnson fight for the world's heavyweight championship have been made, but the worst jolt appears in the latest issue of John Bull, which has just reached this country from England. Horatio Bottomley, the editor of the paper, stands by any disclosure his periodical makes. He charges that Johnson declared that the fight was a fake and that Johnson now is forced to admit it, because he has not received $50,000, a guarantee that was promised by the Wizard. Here is John Bull's story: We are sorry we have to return to our old friend Jack Johnson, of whom we hoped we had taken a final farewell after, as we thought, he had been genuinely deprived of the championship title by Willard in April last. Not Sure of Compact. Johnson evidently cannot go straight, and we now put before our readers certain further facts, which will satisfy them that this man should not any longer be tolerated in our country. They refer to his recent fight with Willard, and while throwing grave doubt upon the honesty of the contest prove conclusively that Johnson is a man who should be "warned off" from the riffle. We are not entitled to say that there was any compact with Willard. It may be that so far as he is concerned, the affair was straight and abovoboard and that he fought in ignorance of the sordid bargain to which Johnson leads guilt, but in view of what we are about to disclose some explanation from him would certainly appear to be desirable, and we need securely say that our columns are open to him for the purpose. We are not aware of the date upon which Johnson reached England after the fight, but he could not have been here long before he was formed, late claims for having agreed to "lay down" to Willard, whom he describes, from the boxing point of view, as merely "a joke" and offers to fight for a side bet of "county," and "presumably" dollars the winner to "lay all and porse money." Cable Message Toll Tale. These admissions and challenges are contained in certain cables not to New York early in June. We do not, for obvious reasons, at present disclose the name of the person to whom they were addressed, especially in view of the fact that he repudiates having been party to such dishonent arrangement as that suggested—although, of course, Johnson cannot escape from his self confessed fraud. The first cable was dispatched from London on June 2, and this is how it regs. You signed contracts to pay me $5000 to lay down to Willard, which I did. You never kept your promise. I did. Now you must pay according to contract. Letigate all you like. I will put my case before any court and press in the world. JACK JOHNSON We do not know the exact terms of the reply which Johnson presolved, but it is obvious from his next message that it was not of a satisfactory character and that his demand was characterized by a somewhat unnly name. For on June 11, we find him wiring again: Blackmail propto ridiculous Want payment first money taken Willard, as a fighter, joke. If you confidence his ability to beat me will bet $25,000. Winner take all and purse money. JOHNSON. Now, as we have often said, we have no desire to pursue unduly this dusky gentleman, but we do call upon him to clear himself, if he can, of this latest scandal or to clear out. Makes Him Back Down When we exposed him before he first challenged us to come and fight him—which is not in our line, then he offered to stake 200 pounds against a similar sum from us if we could prove the gentleness of the documents which we produced. To this we replied to the object that we would lodge 2,000 pounds against his 200 pounds and yield it to fail. We failed to prove our charges, this did not suit Jack. So next he issued a writ for libel against us—subsequently allowing the action to drop. It will be remembered that we charged him with having endeavored to square the fight in Paris with Moran, and that we reproduced a document signed by him and by which he agreed to allow Moran a certain percentage of the gate money provided he "hald down" within eight rounds. The scheme he did not work. Johnson had got hold of Moran's manager Dan McKetrick. Moran's manager, whose instructions to his "boy" was to go in and win—with the result that he went through the twenty rounds, much to the surprise of Jack, who was constantly calling on him to give in. Prejudice Plays No Part. As we have said, we have no color prejudice. We do not forget that prince of the ring—the same of all sportmen, black or white, should be—Peter Jackson; and if Johnson had only taken Peter as a model of what a real champion should be, we would have forgiven him much and hold out the glad hand to him, but he really is impossible—and he must get. We therefore now call upon every recommended boxing club and authority in the world to rid the grand sport of this promise to be good man. All our words are at their element. W. E.

To The Richmond Planet, Richmond, Va., U.S.A. My Dear Mr. Editor, Only God knows how very thankful I am to you for your great condescendence, and if I can only merit some of your graciousness I shall have done very much indeed! And noting your allusions to Jack Johnson having been the only close rival to the most beloved Negro or colored man of African descent in the country, I felt sorry that I had no way of holding a mirror to your own face, that you might see yourself as others see you! Of course, we all have a right to love Jack Johnson, seeing the long and rough road over which he has traveled to be the very greatest in his particular line, in all the world! Also we love the name of Paul Laurence Dugan, whose name shall live on through the ages, and shine brighter and bright as the time goes by! But these are not the only fields of action where fame and fortune can be derived. We are glad when we think of the numerous rights which shine on bright from the various directions to look on the discouraged boy and girl onward to the upward plot of the many walks of life, like that noblehearted Miss Rinkings of Boston, Mass, and the far-famed Ida H Wells and many others two numerous for mention here, but whose good works and show force us drums with pleasing thoughts when we look over the list of towering personalities arising from the most dense obscurity in these wonderful day of fame and do! GLOBE OF THE CABLE We are also satisfied that all has not been smooth either with the individual or with the race. Therefore, we are proud of the good qualities which have been displayed by such men as Dr. Becker T. Washington and Prof. Du Bois along with all the rest of very exceptional personalities of the race, while we denounce in the strongest possible terms their treachery, it must not be taken to mean that we do not love them. Because as Christians and men of liberal thought we have learned how to love those who evil treat us. And it may be further considered that as Americans with hearts full of love for our country and all which may tend to make it great, we also have those very bitter enemies who have been so insistent in legislation against us, while we earnestly deter their evil and genius proposal wave but when we remember that they art Americans whose name is our own to the final protection of the star-spangled banner, then what it would be their indispensable duty to lay down all race difference for once, in case of a foreign foe where we are sworn to sell the last drop of our blood to preserve the freedom of the nation with all of us a mixture of patriotism, of freedom or of evil, the previous condition of patriotism. Surely we must not lose all that is truly American. NOT NATIONALLY DIVIDED We will fight among ourselves if we are not necessary to better our ourselves, pride the results of the nation's growth, the man or man of another star, should they or they are dare to abuse our good that to all men alike. Yes, we fight among ourselves, but we are not nationally divided. And let us man think that we are! Washington D.C. is the capital of the U.S. of North America to which every true son of the soil hears with pride. No one can read our history of the sixties and doubt that we are capable of sextapping among ourselves. But when they remember just a few scores back of that time, it may come to mind that we were united once or twice, and may some day be united again. Then he it known that we love Roosevelt, Taft and also the very Illustrated President Wilson Likewise those very idolous and mean representatives of the South and other parts who are so unpatriotic as to legislate against a weak people, but we are not blind to their un-American faults! We love the South, like any other part of the country and shall never stop until we have made her just as comfortable for every class of peaceful citizens as the most glorious spot is to a child born in the white house; we are one people yet, and hope to remain so, of about (100,000,000) one hundred millions strong. WILL MAKE IT DANGEROUS We shall yet make it dangerous for the man who dares to make distinctions when dealing with our rights among us! We shall not stop until the white and black boy both, with equal delight can look to the protection of the courts and with pride to the glory of the flag. I am thousands of miles away, but my heart beats in sympathy with all that is good for the nation while I can condemn without feligning the meanness of any and all who are not brave enough to respect all men as equals, under similar conditions. Then, if we are liberal enough to condemn lynching and all manner of cowardly discriminations and segractions with their propagandists and yet say that we love all who are sword to taste of death freely with us (if need be) to preserve the honor and dignity of the nation. You may know, air, that our hearts best, with an undying sound of joy when we think of a boy having been born poor and in demeas obscurity, likewise under the most adverse circumstances putting himself up to the place where he not only holds place in the best society of his own country which is especially hard, on account of the racial feelings which exist there, but he holds the right, granted without solicitation, to associate with kings and royal potentates, while he also holds title of being one of the heavenly lights of this great financial globe. This man is unique in his line, for the race to which he belongs. TO BE ADMIRED. It is more to be admired when we remember that he so modestly says that "I am a Negro" and a loyal son of a Democratic government. Then where is the man who has earned a higher place in our love and esteem than this same John Mitchell, Jr? Although he seems to not know it! What shall we do to make this man hold her, pioneer and) international leader of men of all races, know that we give him the first place in our love and esteem! Does he want to be a representative of city, state or union, or what other honor can he name which would prove to him that his merits are duly appreciated by a people who are not too depraved to give honor where honor is due or belongs? He has long since outgrown his race and is now, one of the giants among the great white people, too. Though he cannot appreciate in every sense the sayings of Jesus that "A prophet has honor save in his own country." But he has proved that a good man thinks every other is better than himself. PERSONAL RECOGNITION I doubt if there are many of the Negro having contingency, who would refuse Mr John Mitchell, Jr. a vote to some one of these very offices so recently denied to Negroes. As no one can say that he not one of the clearest men before the American public today! And his continuous shedding of light upon some of the greatest positions of the hour tells us that he deserves some recognition by the legal professionals and would, no doubt make one of the most impartial national leaders of all the American nation today! And coming up from where he did we feel sure that the poor than of either race would have nothing to fear from him. And his respectfulness to all that is honorable doubly guarantee the integrity of the rich, since that he is the latter himself now! And here at all America can we find a man of hardly worthy of some public power. And at this time, it would put low life and hope in the poor Negro, while it would surely be the strongest man yet to bring the North and South together. And I told the South could not do a better than that to propose him as one of their own product in whom they poor every confidence unfounded! And I told that the white South could see the advantage of this golden opportunity! ONE THING TO UNDERSTAND But there is one thing for all to un-understand right through here, namely that it is hardly necessary that the two extremes of the country draw their heads together and begin to prepare the nation for a more serious matter than questions between the races or divisions in geographical politics. Let the lynchers and other italian representatives of Negroes, swear it forever, and the Negroes forgive them, providing it is not practiced a pain. As this will give you all a better chance to come together without one respecting the other You all know that I have given you some very valuable advice during the past few years. I have told you of during when I was appeared on the horizon. And it has been proven to you that America had better look out for the vulnerability of her own country rather than try to continue the two wars because the breach between the two countries prevented white men of Europe will not be healed until the violence of your attacks are resolved or your rebellion is withdrawn and end of your the better it will all be carried out. SHOULD GET TOGETHER Whether this situation is respectful let me remind you to get the middle and laboring classes together just as quick as it can be done, regardless to face any other differences between the races. 'The laboring people had better cut out this question of race domination irrespective of personal merit, before you all are caused to wonder where any of you are!' An American is an American, and that is all about it. It does not matter who his ancestors were. And since that the laws of the land were first created to govern the actions of the people of the nation, I think that you had better let them apply to all men alike, under similar conditions. Because if not you all may be sorry. But I warn you like I would Europe that the way the Negroes go in America will be the winning way! As the way the Chinese go on the other side, will win! So just which way that is must be determined or proved by your own actions. We are not only upon the threshold of a millionium, but a great political era, which is a double millionium! And as Jesus said about (2,900) two thousand years ago, "Old things shall be done away with and new ones shall take their places." NEVER A WAR SO GREAT I doubt that the world has ever had a war so great as this one which now raises in Europe! And yet only about two years ago, as very people had the fondest dreams of universal peace. But I had told you that you had better get your arms prepared, as the greater the arms the more respect one would command. I know some Ahhings which I dare not tell. Yet, I fear that I have told you much more than I should have, and even more than this generation can appreciate. Any white man or colored one, either, with good judgment has surely seen by this time that it is impossible to surpass the progress of the Negroes, and should begin to accept their progress as a matter of fact in the United States of America! But I say, not withstanding that whether or not, the United States, a government can see it in this light or not; the progress has begun to be a fact. And as all the latin nations are of mixed blood and we hold a good per cent. of those nations which clash themselves as white, and as our side, in increasing daily we have little fear of being able to cause serious damage to the whole civilization. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. dists in America or U. S. A. had not given this question its merited consideration. And for this reason I advise the dropping of the question of lily-whittenia and stand together as a nation or we shall accept your own propaganda and crush you thereby! You all know that the final domination of the world has been Divinely promised to Negroes. And from the way you have proposed in this matter seems that you are very anxious to hasten this prophecy, to the great hurt of yourselves. This you can easily do, because we see that Joffre, the great mulatto general, whom you gave such an insult in China, during the uprising of the beasts against the Christians, is now at the head of the French army. Thus this great war has Negroes or their descendants from the very highest to the very lowest ranks. And the fact that we know the spirit of the Germans and the strategy of the English, we can safely say that it is well for us that England is trying to make it a white man's war. PRAISING GERMANY. But we see that Germany is a strong friend to all who allies with her. If Germany will suffer this much for one man who was of an allied nation, what would she have done for one of her own? This with the propaganda of the English speaking contingence of the world, is causing more thought than many have calculated. So win or lose on either side, we can safely say that this war is a God-send to the darker races and mostly to the Negroes. The universal insults by the great Anglo-Saxons, of recent years are going to cause, serious thought among the darker peoples of the world: And if the colored American is forced to one side it is highly natural that he will resort to such tactics as will grant him more rights and privileges. I have been constantly trying to show you good people that whereas, the white element in America may stand as a unit against the progress of Negroes on equal terms with white people, they are not as a unit in up holding the American flag nor her traditions! THE PLOT IN NEW YORK While so few Negroes are comparatively in the employ of such men as Rockefeller, Carnegie, the Vanderbiltists, etc. It was interesting that there was a plot in New York lately to annihilate those and other men of similar stature by the very people to whom they gave the preference in every walk of life. Thus any way they go we are winning and gradually learning to unite and take care of the lessons, which these same white peoples are teaching us. We are learning that under your system there is no hope for us to come close to you in friendship on an equal basis, thus we ask you to change your policy or we shall be contempted to defend ourselves as best we can. And if you will sell your nation do cheap so that, let it be understood that God defends those who will try to right and then trust in a conflict. We may therefore he better scholars than we have the credit for. And it is not because we love all truly great men that we shall swallow everything they bring to us without examination. We are aware and shall not soon forget, that in the glory and prosperity of the white man, to which we had greatly contributed he declared war upon us without a cause, and seemed determined to exterminate us, of which he has beast, but we having no other help fitted our prayers to God, they has practically contended the earth for us by causing them to use our destiny. FELLY FOR THEM Therefore we pay them and let them to meditate their attitude towards us and have some peace. But they were hard of bearing. So we can have a close to nature at any face of people on earth and trust our God to provide for us until he has delivered us from all evil. Therefore we shall tolerate you, if you will let us, but for you we never will. We shall always expect something wrong, and we shall never all, be sold to any tricker so you waste your money when you try to buy us with money which loses its value in the hands of a traitor. Therefore, we demand equal consideration in society according to our condition to compete in same and nothing less will do in its stead. So do not be deceived by those who beg you for money under any other guise. We are a race of people having much of your own blood in our veins, as we know that you have much of ours in your own and we can not easily be divided from you. Yet you may do what you will. And these are some of the reasons that I advocate social equality to all under similar conditions. And as this is my undying claim, I beg to say that I am, Respectfully yours. I. S.

Said'te Mave Been Chosen Rus- esian Minister of War. A Summer Complaint. ed States department of labor Most mothers have learned to regard diarrhea as one of the most dangerousills of babyhood. Thousands ofbabies die of this disease every year,largely in the hot weather months—afact which has gained for this illness the common name of "summercomplaint." The deaths from this disease begin to increase in May, and the number grows rapidly in June andJuly and reaches its highest point inAugust, then decreases rapidly uscool weather approaches. It is prudent, therefore, for mothers to be onguard at the beginning of summerand to do all in their power toprevent the onset of this illness byexercising great care in feeding the babyand by keeping him as cool and quietas possible. In all illnesses prevention is far better than cure, but thisis particularly true with infant diarrhea, because the second attack comesup much more readily than the first.Also the baby's growth is seriouslyinterfered with at a time when it is proceeding most rapidly To prevent summer deprivation in babies first feed the baby on the right food in suitable amounts at proper intervals and in the other way, give him plenty of pure one water to drink between meals. Keep him out of doors as much as possible, freely dress him tightly and bathe him frequently. Another important part of keeping the baby well is to protect him from tides and mosquitoes, which frequently carry disease about. It is believed that one form of infant diarrhea is distributed by these household pests. The healthy baby usually has one or two bowel movements a day. If this number is increased to four or more it is time to take measures against sickness. It is well to remember, however, that the bowel movements of a baby fed entirely at the breast are normally more frequent than those of a bottle fed baby and that a slight increase in the number of movements is not so serious a matter to a baby at the breast as to one artificially fed. A baby fed at the breast does not usually have diarrhea, and when such a baby shows signs of digestive disturbance it is usually because he is overfed, either he is nursed too often or at irregular intervals, or is allowed to nurse too long at one time. When he does have diarrhea the time between nursings should be increased to four hours, and the times at the breast reduced to five or ten minutes. If the bowels continue loose the breast should be withdrawn entirely for several feedings if necessary, giving the baby instead cool drinking water at frequent intervals. In this case the mother should pump her breasts at the regular nursing times, both to keep them from drying up and to prevent their caking. Bottle fed babies are the most frequent sufferers from summer diarrhea and this fact furnishes another strong argument in favor of breast feeding. Diarrhea in a bottle fed baby is also best treated by reducing the amount of food. The bottle should be omitted for eight, twelve or twenty-four hours according to the severity of the attack, and in place of the milk there should be given as much boiled and cooled water as the baby will take. Food should not be withheld for more than twenty-four hours, without the advice of a doctor. When the bottle is resumed the food should be much weaker than before, water should be substituted for at least half the milk previously given. The milk should be skimmed and the sugar omitted. The return to the former feeding should be made gradually by adding a little more milk each day and beginning to add sugar. The more severe the attack has been the more slowly should change be made. If the baby is in an "mined" feeding that is, partly breast and partly but the fed-the bottle feeding should be filled if diarrhea appears and the breast given once in four or five hours with nothing but drinking water between meals. The children's bureau publishes a pamphlet called "Infant Care," which is sent free to any one seeding a request to the chief of the children's bureau, United States department of labor, Washington. This pamphlet contains some simple directions for the care of the babies in summer, which may help the mother to prevent summer diarrhea and other ailments of infancy. It should be understood that whenever possible the baby should be put at once under the care of a doctor. If the mother in the city has no physician she should take her baby to the nearest infant welfare station, where she will be well advised as to his care. Since the country mother does not usually have access to an infant welfare station and is frequently far away from a doctor, she should use every effort to keep the baby well, but if serious illarthen, occurs a doctor must be procured without delay.

A thrilling battle in the air of the Thames mouth in England, in which three big German Taube machines were destroyed by twelve British aeroplanes, was fought a few days ago, according to reports which got out in spite of the sensor. The German aviators are reported to have crossed the North sea, intending to raid the English coast. Approaching shore, they maneuvered in wide circles, giving observers time to telegraph warnings to English aviators, who rushed to the attack by twos and threes, and gave battle. The Germans went up to a great height, hotly pursued. Thousands of feet below watchers on the shore saw the machines, darting back and forth in the sunlight; heard the faint sputter of motor exhausts and the crack of rifles and pistols. Four British planes first came in contact with the Germans, and as others joined in the battle the Germans were cut off in their attempt to retreat seaward. According to the accounts, the German machines were brought down into the sea and all the aviators were drowned. Russian Steamer Torpedoed.

Former Police Lieutenant Charles Becker's own account of the murder of Herman Rosenthal; the gambler, as sent to Governor Whitman at Albany, N. Y., from the Sing Sing death holoca, in the hope of obtaining clemency, was revealed by an attorney who has aided the condemned man in its preparation. Becker is to be put to death next week unless some action intervenes to prevent or postpone his execution. Those are the salient facts in the tale which Becker has kept locked up in his breast until now, and which for the first time brings the name of "Big Tim" Sullivan into the tragedy: Rosenthal was backed in his gambling business by "Big Tim." Becker protected Rosenthal's establishment, because of his fear of "Big Tim," and raided it, upon orders, and under the impression that Police Commissioner Waldo was under "Big Tim's" thumbs. Sullivan became panic stricken when Rosenthal tried to "squeal" and gave Jack Rose $6000 to pay Rosenthal to get out of the country. Rose, desirous of keeping the most of the money for himself, arranged with the four "gunmen" and "Bridglø" Webber to kidnap Rosenthal and scare him into leaving the country. Murder was not contemplated. Harry Vallon, crazed with drink, began to shoot when Rosenthal emerged from the Metropole hotel, instead of "slugging" the gambler with a black-jack. Then the other members of the party joined in. Becker knew of the arrangements, but washed his hands of them. "Big Tim," realizing that Hecker was innocent, and fearing that he himself would be implicated in it, let Becker be convicted, and then worried him self to the point of insanity. It was while suffering from a mental collapse that his body was found upon the New York Central tracks in Harlem. Rev. Father J. P. Curry, spiritual adviser to Becker, it is stated, declared that Becker related the same tale to him three years ago. * According to Becker's narrative the real motive which led to the murder was "Bridge" Webber's fealousy of Rosenthal's success. Webber wrote several letters to Police Commissioner Waldo, complaining of Rosenthal's gambling house and signing the name of "Harry Williams" to them. When Waldo told Becker to investigate the charges contained in the letter, the police lieutenant went to Sullivan, who said to him: "I'll fix it up. You let the house keep going." Becker, believing Waldo was really under the influence of Sullivan (a belief that was wholly erroneous), failed to raid the place. When Waldo received other letters, however, Becker saw that he would have to act, so he went to Sullivan, and the latter told him to go ahead and raid the Rosenthal establishment in due time this raid took place. "What does this mean?" asked Sulivan. "Rosenthal is going before the grand jury and he is going to implicate me." "That's all right," Becker says he told Sulivan. "All the witnesses have been fixed." Jack Rose, who was present, corroborated this. It was at this meeting. Becker says that the question of getting Rosenthal out of the country was discussed. Rose said he knew that Rosenthal would leave for $6000. The money was quickly obtained, and Rose was commissioned to turn it over to Rosenthal and get him out of the United States. Rose hoped to turn the trick with $1000 and keep the other $5000 for himself. The plans were made to kidnap Rosenthal, and the party met at Webber's gambling room. The party was drinking, and Vallon became "dead drunk." Finally Webber went out and found Rosenthal at the Metropolis. The gunmen went out to carry our their orders, which, according to Becker, were to knock Rosenthal insane and carry him away. However, one of the party, Vallon, started shooting. Heart Disease Killie Swimmer, George Stevenson, twenty-four years old, of Wilkes-Barre, Pa., was drowned in Harvey's Lake while swimming. Twenty minutes later the body of Stevenson was found.

A GENERAL SURVEY OF THE WAR WEDNESDAY. Heavy fighting is reported all along the western line. In the Argonne region Berlin reports an advance over a front of nearly two miles. Paris, on the other hand, insists attacks by the Germans were repulsed with guns of large caliber. The British are said to have repulsed German attacks in Belgium. News dispatches to London say the Austrians have suffered heavily in south Poland, and that Archduke Ferdinand's army has been cut off from its base. London war experts expect soon a new attack by Field Marshal von Mackensen, whose whereabouts have been cocalled for more than a week. Italian cavalry has raided to within three miles of Trieste. A dispatch to Geneva declares the Italians have taken two miles of Austrian treaches in the Carnegie Alps. THURSDAY. The army of the German crown prince has regained ground in the region west of the forest of Argonne, whence it was driven by the French, several days ago. Paris reports the capture of German trenches north of Arras, and heavy fighting in the Vosges. "A new German offensive toward Warsaw has developed in north Poland, and Berlin reports the capture of Przemyasz, fifty miles north of the Polish capital. Petrograd admits a Russian reverse in the Shikva valley in this operation. Official admission is made by Berlin that the attack upon the American steamship Nebraskan, several weeks ago, was committed by a German submarine. Germany offers an apology and preparation. Vienna reports heavy Italian losses in attacks upon Gorizia, north of Trieste. FRIDAY The Teutonic forces have developed three distinct offensive movements on the eastern battle front. Field Marshal von Hindenburg is affecting a vigorous advance from Przysznyz, in north Poland, southward toward Warsaw, and Petrograd admits German successes in this field. A strong German force has crossed the Windau river in the Russian Battle province of Courland, in a move toward Mitau, Austrians, crossing the Dniester, are reported to have driven Russian forces out of eastern Galicia into Besra Arabia. Berlin says the Germans have captured 7000 French soldiers since June 20 in the Argonne region, besides gaining ground. Paris reports the recapture by the French of Hill No. 285, in the Argonne, the repulse of German attacks north of Arras and heavy fighting in Lorraine. 8ATURDAY A German offensive of large proportions has advanced in the Russian Baltic province of Courland to within eighty miles of Riga. Field Marshal von Hindenburg, in north Poland, is advancing southward, forty-four miles from Wargau, while Field Marshal von Mackensen, in south Poland, is pressing north toward Brest-Litovsk, east of the Polish capital. German attacks at various points on the western front have been repulsed, Paris reports. Italian gains west of Trent, and the capture of several Austrian towns are announced by the war office in Rome. Reports from the Dardanelles say the allies have landed forces on the west coast of the Gallipol peninsula, north of the Turkish positions. SUNDAY General von Hindenburg's offensive against Miawa and Higa, in the Baltic provinces, is continuing. The Germans claim "important results" in this district. A night of comparative calm on the western front was followed by an artillery action of considerable violence about Souchez, infantry actions favorable to the French on the heights of the Meuse, and a German attack with burning liquids at the ravine of Sovaux, north of Verdun. On the heights of the Mouse the French recaptured one section, of the trenches taken by the Germans on Saturday, and the German attack north of Verdun was repulsed with heavy losses to the Germans. The Italian forces advancing from Cortina across the mountains toward Bozen have made highly important gains during the last few days. MONDAY. An unofficial dispatch from Petro grad says General von Bonlows German forces have advanced to within thirty-light miles of Riga, Russia. Field Marshal von Hindenburg is reported advancing southward from Pruszyny toward Waraw, while Field Marshal von Mackenzie, in south Podand, is said to be eight miles from the Lublin-Chelm railway, southeast of Waraw. According to a dispatch from Berlin an Austrian submarine has sunk the Italian cruiser Giuseppe Garfeldt in the Atlantic sea. "The army of the German crown prince has renewed his attack near Friesen, France. A Dutch dispatch says a British submarine has sunk four Turkish ships in the Men of Marseille. Premier Angela Merkel announced that British commanders had sunk a total of ships. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA HOPE FOR HIS RECOVERY Jugular Vein Was Cut When Prisoner's Throat Was Slashed While He Wab Asleep. Leo M. Frank, serving a life imprisonment sentence for the murder of Mary Phagan, an Atlanta factory girl, was attacked while asleep and his throat cut by William Green, a fellow prisoner at the state prison farm at Milledgeville, Ga. His condition is serious, ut it is a chance for recovery. Frank's throat was slashed for several inches and the jugular vein partially severed. Some numbness has been shown toward Frank by his fellow prisoners since his arrival at the farm, but prison officials said nothing had indicated danger of an attack on him. Creen was placed in military confinement. He is serving a life term for murder. In a statement to the prison officials he said he was sorry that he had make the attack, but that at the time he thought he was doing the right thing. After Frank's wound had been dressed he turned to the physicians and asked: "Ann I going to die?" "We don't know," said Dr. George B. Compton, prison surgeon. "You are in a serious condition and will have to be quiet." "If I am going to die," replied Frank, "I am not attack. Nothing stands between me and God. I hope that the man who attacked me will be forgiven." Mrs. Frank was a guest at the home of Superintendent Smith on the prison farm. She swam when she learned of the attack. It is alleged that Green approach of Frank while he was asleep and thrust the knife into his throat. Frank fell backward to the floor, uttering a cry of pain. The lights were switched on and the guards saw Frank prostrate, blood spurting from his wound, while a prisoner was trying to make his way back to his bed. The guards found Frank's condition alarming. Dr. George H. Compton, the prison surgeon, was immediately called, but before he could reach the prison dormitory two well known Georgia surgeons, who are serving terms in prison, were at Frank's side administering first aid to the wounded man. One of these physicians is Dr. J. W. McNaughton, of Swainsboro who is doing a life term for wife murder, having been sent to prison after four trials, and the other physician, who attended him first, was Dr. L. M. Harrison, of Columbus, doing a long term. The knife with which Frank was cut had been used in buttering hogs. How it was smuggled into the prison is not known. Thaw Set Free as Sane by Court. After a legal battle lasting for nine years and costing his family a fortune, estimated at $1,000,000, Harry K. Thaw, who killed Stanford White, and who was adjudged sane on Wednesday by a jury, was given his freedom by Supreme Court Justice Peter A. Hendrick in New York, who anounced that he had adopted the verdict of the jury. The state immediately served notice of appeal, and Justice Hendrick fixed. Thaw's ball at $35,000 to insure his presence at future proceedings. A surely company was prepared to give the bond, and Thaw was taken from the court house to the judge's chambers so that details might be arranged, after which Thaw, in a motor car, started for Philadelphia on the way to Pittsburgh, his mother's home. A crowd that numbered hundreds and which lined the sidewalks and overflowed into the streets around the court house, cheered Thaw and applauded wildly when he appeared on the court house steps. Some of the women in the crowd were crying. All shouted: "Stick to your mother! God bless you. Don't drink; keep away from Broadway. Stick to your home in Pittsburgh." Girl's Assailant Caught The nogro who attacked Mildred Clark, fifteen years old, on Thursday, was captured by Sheriff Temple, Harry Eddington and Thomas Nichols in a marsh near the allroad stalon at Federalburg, Md. He proved to be Aloysius Sheppard, otherwise known as "Wish" Sheppard, about twenty years old, with a bad record. When taken before Mildred Clark she positively identified him as her assailant. So quietly did the police get their prisoner to the home of the girl that the whole proceedings were over and the prisoner was on his way to the Denton jail before the citizens, who were threatening a lynching, were aware that the much-hunted man had been captured. A reward of $500 had been offered for the nogro's arrest. Accused of Having Three Wives.

Three Dead In Explosion Three men are dead and eight of nine others are injured as a result of an explosion at the benzol plant of the Cambria Steel company at Johnstown, Pa. No names can be obtained. One man was overcome by gas in a stack. Another went to his rescue and also was overcome. Then the men started to demolish the stack. An explosion of gas resulted. A third man was killed and it was here that the other men were injured. All of the injured were taken to the Cambria hos Probably a majority of thoughtful people outside of Mexico would like to see the man Carranza given half a chance to make good. Stubborn and erratic he may be at times, but his main course has been consistent. A better man can easily be imagined; but the two years of his leadership have failed to develop even the equal, to any nothing of the superior, of Mexico's average.

H. Kiah Here-- Principal of the Princess Anne Academy Agends Summer School at Columbia University--Organizer Moore Here--Getting Business Men in Line for Coming Session of Business League--General Notice. (Allen's National News Bureau, 252 West Third St.) New York City, July 27.—One of the most unique playhouses in this city is the Lafayette Theatre which is doing much to solve the amusement question of the community. It may be safe in saying there is not a more interesting playhouse in this country than the Lafayette and one that occupies such a strategic position. To the Lafayette is intrusted the amusement welfare and recreation of a community of upwards of 100,000 people who will be influenced one way or the other by the character of the shows that are booked for the pleasure of the attendants. It has been said that even character is made during the period of recreation and this depends of course largely upon the environment. The Lafayette Theatre of today is a new theatre with a new outlook which is addressing itself to the task of solving the environment question for a community. Since Lester Walton the able and conscientious young playwright came to the theatre about a year ago as one of the managers the stock of the Lafayette Theatre has gone up and has become a place of inspiration. The theatre has undergone a most striking change and one would hardly realize that it was the same place. Several attempts have been made to run the Lafayette as a paying proposition, and at the same time contribute to the recreational welfare of the community. Each time this attempt has failed and the promotors have given up the venture as a bad financial venture. This has been due in many cases to the lack of experience on the part of the promotors to address themselves to a particular need for a unique community. When Mr. Walton came to the house about a year ago he found the doors of the theatre closed and a condition on his hand that would have daunted men of less courte and foresight. Mr. Walton studied the needs of the house and found that it needed a complete reorganization. His venture was looked upon as a foolish one and even his stance friends marveled at what they looked upon as a short lived proposition. Mr. Walton brought to the house a new experience based upon close association with the show world. As a critic he has been watching the passing shows and predicting their success and failures and with a fine experience and foreseeing he saw a fine opportunity to make the Laffeyette Theatre a unique playhouse. Therefore Mr. Walton found facing him a difficult task which others had given up as a foolish venture. Mr. Walton set about to remed the character of the shows that had been booked at the house and which had driven the decent element to seek amusement elsewhere. Mr. Walton has succeeded in booking the very best shows and acts which have changed the personal of the theatre goers and which has made the Lafayette a safe place to seek recreation. The weekly bill at the Lafayette includes some of the most gifted artists of both races now in the theatrical business. Mr. Walton has brought to the house such well known shows as The Black Pati Troubadours. The Smart Set and The Darktown Follies. The bringing to the house of such shows has made the house one to be depended upon and brought to the community first class shows at popular prices. Shows of such character were rarely booked at the house before Mr. Walton became one of the managers. Under the regime of Mr. Walton the financial condition of the house is on a more solid basis. The Lafayette theatre under Mr. Walton is showing the fine capabilities of the negro in the many capacities, and although the house is not what could be called a negro theatre, it is managed almost entirely by colored men and women. During the summer months stated Mr. Walton the house pays out to colored help $400 and doubles that amount in the winter. Perhaps it may be safe in saying that there is no theatre in the country that is contributing in such a large way to the economic support of the race as the Lafayette Theatre. The ticket office is in charge of a young colored woman, and the stage manager and assistant, and users are all colored. The music at the house is furnished by colored orchestra, either male or female. Your correspondent visited the house last week. An orchestra of capable young colored women were playing much to the delight of the patrons. Your correspondent called on Mr. Walton last week and found him in the private room looking after the many women in the house. When he be in charge of the house, the police proceed and that the correspondent found the house center of amusement uplift was encouraging. Mr. Walton said that it was his aim to furnish to his patrons delight the very best to be, be found in the show world. He stood, he said, uncompromisingly for docency and that any act that did pass that stage would be booked at the house. He told your correspondent that it was his aim to make the Lafayette Theatre a place of inspiration that would show the capabilities of the race and prove to the other race that same standard of conduct can be maintained in the management of the business. He said that he was glad to note the change in the person of the attendants at the house and that he was gratified to see that both races could sit side by side without friction. On the afternoon your correspondent was present Mr. Walton discharged a white act because of objectionable features which reflected on the race. Mr. Walton said that it was his policy to divide his bill equally between the races. Mr. Walton is well known to the nation as a crite and for many years has been a member of the staff of The New York Age. He has done much to improve the negro stage as well as to get the proper recognition for the talented members of the profession. Mr. Walton is doing much to solve the problem of the race in this direction. YOUNG NEER CONDUCTS HABER DASHERY SHOP One of the most credible entrances conducted by a young negro in this city is the haberdashery shop of R. E. Nicholes, at 38 West 135th street, in the heart of the negro section of the metropolis. The enterprise is unique one and marks the first undertaking of this kind that has ever been attempted. In this rounds visited the shop last week and section. Your correspondent on his rounds visited the shop last week and found an up-to-date establishment that would do justice to any of the places along Broadway. The windows were neatly and tastefully dressed, showing a rare ability in this difficult art. At the shop were to be found everything that is known to the trade. A complete line of gents' furnishings, the latest ties, collars, underwear are to be found at the shop. The shop is known as "Mike's Toggery" is fast becoming the mecca of young men who want the best in the line indicated. Although the shop has opened less than a year, it has already become a success and is destined to remain a fixture in the commercial upfit of the race in this city. Mr. Nichols is an enterprising young man and shows fine adaptability in this field. He has a large experience and is also a finished tailor. He was born in Cumberland, Va., and is 36 years of age. He came to this city in 1900. Visitors to this city will do well to visit this unique enterprise and gain inspiration from the venture of this young man. BISHOP WALTERS BACK Bishop Alexander, Walters, one of the greatest men in this nation, arrived at his Episcopia, residence last Friday from one of the most extensive tours that the churchman has ever had. It was a noted, tour and the churchman has figured largely in the many activities that have met his attention. When seen at his home last week the churchman looked a model of inspiration. Since being away from home he has attended the meeting of Methodist bodies in Cincinnati, the meeting of Christian Endeavors at Chicago, where he figured in a large and telling way, which has made the churchman an important figure in the church world, and has also looked many engagements in Birmingham, Ala, and Charlotte, N.C. While in Indiana polls, Ind. the churchman told your correspondent of his visit to the office of Indianapolis Freeman and expressed himself as being pleased with the able staff he found at the Freeman. He said Editor Knox is the model of courtesy and did everything in his power to make his visit pleasant. The bishop was highly pleased at the editorial which appeared in the Freeman last week concerning himself and his activities on behalf of the race. He said that he felt that such an editorial in such an able journal would do much for the cause. The bishop congratulated your correspondent on being identified with such an influential organ of opinion. The bishop will be in this section for the next few days and will then leave for St. Louis, Mo., where he attends the Bishops Council of the connection. The bishop is a truly great man and doubtless one of the most pictureque figures in the nation today. PROFESSOR KIAH HERE One of the ablest educators of the race is in this city attending the summer school of Columbia University is Prf. T. H. Kiah, principal of The Princess Anne Academy at Princess Anne, Md. Prof. Kiah has been the head of the school for the past five years and during his administration the institution has met with great success. The Princess Anne school is one of the best known of the secondary schools of the country and has contributed largely to the educational uplift of the race. The personality of Prof. Kiah has contributed much to the school and his sympathy with the young people who strive for education has done much to inspire the students under his care. During the past year the students had an enrollment of 150 students. The institution has cloven buildings valued at $50,000. Prof. ish is a graduate of the Princess Anno Academy and of Morgan College. He has studied at Cornell University. At Columbia this summer he is taking work in education and psychology. Prot. Kiah is one of the best known educators of the race and is giving himself untimely to the education of the race. Dr. Kiah pruned an able sermon last Sunday morning at St. Martha M. B. school. His subject was "The New Law." In developing his sermon, Dr. Kiah emphasized to his students how forms of the law of government and law tion is many walks of like. He said during the thirty years of the school, over 500 graduates had left the institution. A PROMISING YOUNG LAWYER One of the promising young lawyers of this city with an unusual background for his work is Clayton A. French, who has an office at 139 West. 1835th street. Mr. French is doubtless one of the best prepared young lawyers in this city and gives evidence of succeeding in his profession. Already he is beginning to take rank in his profession, and in this city where competition is hard in that profession, he is meeting with an encouraging degree of success. He was born in Kansas City, Kan., and was educated in the public and high school of that city. Shortly after his graduation from high school he came to this city and entered New York University and graduated in 1907. While in the university he made a noted record and was one of the honored men of the class. He entered the law school of Columbia University in 1907 and graduated in 1911. He then returned to Columbia and did post-graduate in the law school, receiving the degree of M. A. from this department. The thorough preparation that Mr. French has received gives him a background for his work and will enable him to compete with the best in his profession. Mr. French is a fine type of young manhood and will do well in his profession. ORGANIZER MOORE HERE Prof. Charles H. Moore, of Greenboro, N.C., and the national organizer of the National Negro Business League is in this city rounding up the negro business men for the coming session of the league to be held in Boston in August. Mr. Moore is making an effort to meet the business men of the city with a view to stimulating them to take greater interest in the coming session of the business league and to arouse interest on the part of the men and women here to enter business. Mr. Moore is talking to your correspondent 1st Sunday said that the outlook for a noted session of the league was very bright and that he wanted to see a large number of men and women of this city attend the annual session of the league in Boston.
