EDITOR MITCHELL TRAVELS A Remarkable Town—Dual Governments—Dry and Wet Territory—A Pullman Car Experience—An Interesting Recital. (Continued from last week.) Bristol is a strange city. Notling in a valley on the border line between Virginia and Tennessee, it has two city governments, two police forces and yet its affairs are administered without friction. It has two post offices, the larger and more imposing structure being on the Tennessee side. You can be on the Tennessee side in one minute and on the Virginia side in another, or you can stand in its main street with one foot in Virginia and the other in Tennessee. PECULIAR CONDITIONS Bristol, Va., is wet, and Bristol, Tenn. is dry. You can stand on the main street in Bristol, Tenn. with no liquor and look over into Bristol, Va., with liquor. 'Tonsorial Artist Robert Clay, the noted colored temperance advocate has a palatial barber shop on the Tennessee side. I wandered about the city and finally sat down upon the front porch of Dr. U. G. Tarter's residence. The windows were up and the back door open, the garage was tenantless, although the back gate appeared to be fastened. CAMB TOGETHER TOO SUDDENLY I came to the conclusion that people were honest in Bristol. I left and after going a few blocks further heard a crash and saw a boy on a bicycle run into an automobile delivery wagon. The bicycle was immediately a fit subject for a junk-shop. The boy was shaken up, but not injured. He laughingly drew off carrying his battered machine with him, while the delivery wagon went on its way. I was soon back at Mr. Henderson's residence where Dr. Jefferson and I stretched out upon the bed and fell asleep. It was shortly after 9 o'clock when we arrived at the hall. LEAVING A CITY A sound of revelry, the revelation of women's voices and I passed to a waiting automobile below. The party wished to take me for a "joy ride" eight miles out, but I waved them aside and the homeward run was taken. I was again beginning to feel the effect of the over-eating on that dining car. I took the medicine and went to sleep. I reached the station at about 6:30 a.m. and immediately entered the Pullman parlor car after Porter G. W. Lewis had told me that it went to Richmond. As I sat there Dr. Jefferson informed me that the porter said that I had better go to the ticket office and secure a reservation. I remarked that it was all right. WANTED ME AT TICKET OFFICE I sat down at the far end of the parlor car. Later the Pullman conductor entered. He told me to go to the ticket office and get a ticket. I replied, "All right." The train soon moved off and Dr. Jefferson sat down opposite me. The Pullman conductor came to me and said, "I told you to go to the ticket office and get your reservation." I remarked, "My dear sir, I don't have to. If I fail to get a reservation, it is my loss. I am subject to your orders and must take any seat in this car to which you assign me." I passed him two dollars in good United States currency and he sold me two tickets. I found out afterwards that he passenger on that car had bought a ticket at the ticket office. TROUBLE WITH A TRAIN CON- DOCTOR I made myself known to him, gave him a Mechanic's Savings Bank booklet and laughingly suggested that owing to his magnificent physique, he would make a good soldier in the German army. To this he smilingly denounced. I sat down while Dr. Jefferson read a newspaper. Then in came the train conductor, Capt. George Carter. He appended Dr. Jefferson and asked his name. "Dr. Jefferson" was the really, "What's your name?" he said. "John Marshall, Jr." I said an insulted him my card. You can learn more about the process by visiting a website of the company. You can also learn more about the company by visiting www.ibm.com. NEVER ARGUE A QUESTION As for me, I settled back in those "heavenly" Pullman cushions with a smile. I make it a rule never to argue a question with a conductor. If he knew his business, I knew mine. It was needless to tell him that the "Jim Crow" car law does not apply to Pullman parlor and sleeping cars any more than it does to dining cars. I was entitled to Pullman accommodations if I had the money to pay for them. He could draw his curtain or he could put on another car. So far as I could see, the white passengers were not aware of the colloquy taking place and I took no palms to raise my voice and inform them. RAISED WITH THE WHITE FOLKS I was raised with white people of the bother sort and I did business with white people. I simply concluded that this florid, powerful blunt special of the N. & W. railroad did not understand. He kept within the rules. He made no threats. He did not even order me from the car. He simply jotted names down in his note book and took with him one of my engraved plate cards. He passed on and I sank back once more in those "heavenly" cushions while the landscape formed a kaleidoscope view as the train climbed the mountain. NO CAUSE FOR WORRY Why should I worry? As for Dr. Jefferson, he assumed a nonbalance in keeping with my own. He was my physician for this trip at least. Later Train Conductor Carter returned, but it was only to sit down in a seat almost opposite and converse smilingly with a passenger. When the train reached Roanoke, I endeavored to find him, but he had disappeared. I have no recollection of ever having had a similar experience in Virginia. The last time I was similarly annoyed was about twenty years ago, on the Central of Georgia R. R., between Atlanta and Jacksonville, Fla. MY GUARDIAN ANGEL I did not leave the Pullman car then and I returned by the same route. Always quiet and unobtrusive, firm, but polite and obliging, the good God and the railroad officers, backed by utter fearlessness on my part, have taken care of me. Whether I shall lose my life on one of these tribes or shall live to tell the story, time alone can tell. I find that life is one of ups and downs, sunshine and shadows, welcomes and rebuffs, friends and enemies. I was in a reverie as I left Rosnokin in that Pullman car with no one to hinder. A PULLMAN LUNCHEON The porter placed before me a menu card. Luncheon was, being served in buffet style. I was sick somewhat, but I could eat. I ate and Dr. Jefferson ate. I was in good humor when I roached lynchburg and met my party with whom I was to continue my journey to Richmond an hour later. When the train pulled out the conductor came. DIDN'T WANT TO GET OFF There was a wall of sorrow over on a soak across from me. A colored woman was taking back a girl apparently 15 years of age and expected to pay half fare for her. The conductor had informed her that she would be put off at the next stop. I parted with fifty cents to assist in raising the money, but the noise continued. Finally a passenger came forward with an extra ticket on which she safely made the trip to Richmond. I discovered on board Jockey Everett, of whom I had previously written. Quietly resting by the side of a "yaller" dame he arrived at me and seemed oblivious of his surroundings. His "poker fingers" were nerveless. TALKING ABOUT A BASEBALL TEAM He would not talk and his companion only smiled. I left in disgust. All he would say that was that he lived at Hopewell and his post office was just Hopewell. The Richmond baseball team was in good spirits after having "done up" the Lynchburgers, who would not play any more. "That team," said a bright-eyed Lynchburger, "is a wonder. They fly on grounders and as for high-balls, they just reach up and get them. It was no use for us to leave the plate when we struck a ball. We would be put out sure. They would throw a ball away from themselves and then draw it back and put out." THE END OF THE JOURNEY He discussed this wonderful team from several angles while the crowd laughed at his residual. We caught the N.A.W. "Chosen Ball" at Pottering and shortly after 8:00 Friday evening, July 29, we were at the Bryd street station in Chidmore. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SURDAY, AUGUST 7, 1915 5 COLORED ATHLETES WIN IN A. A. U. TRY-OUTS Colored Athletes Have Won Place in the Try-Outs of the A. A. U. to compete for National Honors in San Francisco—Howe and Martin in East—Diamond and Butler in the Central West—Drew in Far West—Howe Left Boston for Coast This Week. --- THE DUSKY RUNNERS (Arthur- Duffy's Column in Boston Post) Pretty soon there will be no old timers' marks left on the record books. When they can beat 4 minutes 12-3-4 seconds for a mile, a record that has stood since 1886, almost anything is liable to happen. Tom Burke's old quarter-mile mark in the A. A. U. ranks of 49-3-6 seconds was the latest to take a tumble when Binga Diamond, a colored runner from Chicago, knocked a second of this performance Saturday. Incidentally, this has been a great season, thus far for the dusky runners. Not to mention Howard Drew on the Pacific coast, Irving Howe is running a bit, while Martin of the Smart Set A. C. Brooklyn, showed us what he could do in the 120-yard high hurdles at the recent eastern tryouts. HOWE GETS HIS $30 ETRA FROM THE A. A. V. (Boston Post) Irving Howe, the runner, will be given $200 instead of 150 for his trip to California. The executive committee of the New England A. A. U. has voted to subscribe $500 more towards the expenses of the ten athletes whose homes are in New England, and who will wear the colors of the east in the coming national track championships at the Panama-Pacific exhibition. The "first" choice men are allotted $50 each, making their total for expenses west and return, $200. The "second" choice will also receive an additional $50, making their total $150. Binga Dismond Lowers A. A. U. Record in 440-Yard Run - Young Soil Butter Breaks Central States Record in Broad Jump - Five Colored Athletes Selected for National Championships. (Special) Chicago, July 19, 1915. Added to Howe and Martin in the east, a Binga Dismond, student at Chicago university, and Sol Butler, a student at the Rock Island high school in Illinois. This was decided by the judges who select the central western team for competition at the National Amateur Athletic Union games in San Francisco in August. As it is presumed Howard Drew will reconsider his decision to retire and will run the 100 yards, there will be five colored athletes among those picked for this national championship event. There will be Irving Howe of Boston in the 100-yard and 220-yard; H. M. Martin of Washington, D. C., in the 120-high and 220 low hurdles; Binga Dismond of Chicago in the 140-yard; Sol Butler of Rock Island, Ill., in the running broad jump. At the tryouts in Chicago on Sat rday, of the central western states, Diamond broke the A. N. N. record in the 440 yards of 49 3-1s, by doing the distance in 48 3-5a. Sol Butler of Rock Island high made 24 feet 2 1-2 inches in the running broad jump, breaking the record. COLORED RUNNERS WIN Powel in Boston, Morse in New York At the meet of the N. Y. A. C. July 17th at Schenectady, N. Y. the fleet Roy Morso of the Salem Cros- cent A. C. ran the 100-yards in 10-1-5s, equalling the junior record. He will not however receive credit for the performance, because the track ran down grade. At the field day of the Cathedral of the Holy Cross held at the South End Grounds, Boston, Irving T. Hows, the Colby College spinner, who has won a place on the eastern team to go to the Panama-Pacific championship meet, won the 100-yards dash in the first time of 10-1-5s. The half- mile run furnished the excitement of the meet, when in spite of a heavy track, W. L. Powell, the big colored runner from Milton, averaged and passed Jimmy Burke of the B. A. A. just three yards from the tape—Boston Guardian. Installation of Rev. Bradford. Rov. D. J. Bradford was installed as pastor of Hickory Grove Baptist Church of Crow, Virginia on the fourth Sunday of July 1915. The services lasted one week and were very impressive. The handsome sum of one hundred and fifty ($150.00) dollars was collected for the church. Besides the large number of lay members who took part upon the programme, the following Ministers prescribed, or delivered addresses of welcome, namely: Rev. J. A. Henson, Rev. G. W. Ransome, Rev. W. H. Sheppardson, Rev. M. G. Hoskin, Rev. G. W. Overby and Rev. W. L. Rancome, D. D., Fredericksburg. The Installation serion was preached on Sunday by Rev. S. P. Robinson of Richmond, the Moderator of the Tuckahoe Baptist Association of Virginia. The sum of Two Hundred five ($205.00) dollars and eighty cents has been collected for the building of the new Edifice here since the 4th Sunday of April last, when Rev. Bradford took the pastorate of the church. A rising vote of thanks was tendered all persons who in any way contributed to the success of this great work. After singing "Bless the bead" the large congregation was dismissed with a fervent prayer of Thanksgiving offered by the oldes, deacon of the church. A sumptuous repast was served the pastor and friends which ended about one o'clock in the morning. The next great effort will be made for a revival. To this end a series of meetings will begin the 4th Sunday in August. These meetings will go on day and night, during which time we sincerely hope that many souls will be regenerated and added to the membership of the church. THE JITNEY CARS The Richmond, Va. city, council passed an ordinance taxing the litter of the city. The owners of these "five cents fare" automobiles applied for an injunction to restrain the city from interfering with their cars until the law could be tested. As to the final result of the temporary injunction, which was granted, time alone can tell. The litter owners refuse to permit colored people to ride in their cars. ```java } ``` PROF. MOORE STILL AT HOWARD It has been widely reported without foundation in fact that Dean L. B. Moore, Ph. D., had resigned his position at Howard University, Washington, D. C., to take up other lines of work. We are glad to state on the highest authority that there is positively no truth in the rumor Dr. Moore writes us that the mistake doubtless arose from a statement in a local paper that he had "joined the faculty of a summer school at New Orleans." This referred to summer work only. He will be at his desk in September to meet the pupils of the Teachers College. DIED Died at the home of her aunt, Marrion S. Parham, age 18 years 7 months, 11 days. Formerly of Richmond, Va., also Pittsburgh, Pa. Miss Parham was taken sick at the home of Malinda Bannister, her aunt, and after an illness of about two weeks succumbed to ravages of typhoid fever. Among those left to mourn are her father, two brothers and her aunt, also a host of loving friends. The world with its cares forgotten. Stripped of its doubts my soul. A sense of infinite calmness into my bosom stole. "Fear not, I am with thee always." Came a voice from out this deep. "To the end of the world I am with thee." "Be still," it said.

THE UNITY OF VIRGINIA BAPTISTS HE DECLARES POSITION TAKEN, UNTENABLE. Mr. Editor: Upon the much discussed question of the unity of the Baptist of Virginia the Drs. S. A. Moores, W. D. Woods, and A. A. Galvin have fired and fallen back, and now come President R. C. Woods, "the greatest Roman of them all," with the hope of strengthening the untenable position taken by his associates upon this question. It is said that one shall chase a thousand, but this is possible only to the one who stands firmly on the bed rock of truth. Standing here I am prepared to meet all corners of contrary opinions. I crave only a square deal. So let all opponents fall in according to rank and let the ball roll. QUESTIONS THE AUTHORSHIP My hitherto good opinions of Dr. R. C. Woods' intelligent capability somewhat inclines me to question the genuineness of the article to which his name has been attached. It greatly strains my credulity to believe that he could be guilty of such illogical argument. It is as thick of errors as fleas upon a country dog, but not so annoying to a man of average intelligence who has some acquaintance with the common facts touching the history of Negro education in Virginia. CHARGES HISTORICAL ERROR. (1) He is in error as to the continuity of the policy and ideals of the Baptist State Convention from its organization to the present time. For it is a fact known to any little school boy that the Baptist State Convention cooperated with the White Baptists in educational and missionary work from 1867 to 1899, a period of thirty two years. Then why does Dr. Woods say that "The Baptist State Convention has not received from its position oneota!" If there has been no change in the spirit and policy of that body then we are justified in concluding that it now stands for cooperation. This fact is too plain to be questioned. WHY THE ASSOCIATION WAS ORGANIZED But the fact that there was a change in the Convention from its original policy instigated and affected by the representatives of the National Baptist Convention in which the Negro Independent Idea was born and brought to Virginia gave rise to the organization of the General Association as a means of continuing the spirit and policy of the Baptist State Convention in our educational and missionary work. The existence of the General Association can be accounted for on no other grounds. Hence the "stickers" and the stand patterns on the original principles of the Baptist State Convention are to be found only on our side of the fence. Do you hear me Dr. Woods? We alone have stood firm and changeless in our ideals and principles of Christian work. While the brethren of Dr. Woods' persuasion, have borrowed the things which they now claim as ideals spirit, and policy of the "so-called" Baptist State Convention, they have changed two lotas. I use the word "so-called" advisely. A WIDE SCOPE. For it is an open secret that the present membership of that body extends far beyond Virginia to Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, Rhode Island, and what not, hence it can not be properly called the Baptist State Convention; but the comprehensiveness of its sweep of territory as to membership is not a matter of concern to me, except as a matter of explanation. It is certainly in the bounds of "freedom" of which Dr. Woods boasts as his cherished possession, but which he denies to the brethren of the General Association. Not withstanding we still believe in "freedom" directed by wisdom and common sense and we would none other. We cheerfully concede the right to our breathbrenn and Dr. Woods to make their convention an Inter State Convention, if it meets their necessities and approval and bring money with which to carry on their work. A GRAVE ERROR (2) Dr. Wooda commits a grave error in believing that the General Association is not a Negro organization, note his word, "Our organization (the Baptist State Convention) is of the Negro, for the Negro and by the Negro; We can contend for race leadership and self help. We teach that the Negro has the Capacity and powerfulness for self development. Our incumbent benefactor may say so much, and back that saying with their past achievements? As a matter of fact these beholded expressions are rather silly to admit of a serious consideration, but as a matter of respect to the writer, I will say that the General Association has no White people in its membership; that it believes in the highest and best (Continued on 5th page) --- Mr. and Mrs. James H.

Mr. John T. Taylor applied to the election judges in his precinct last Tuesday for a ballot on which to vote in the democratic primary. He had voted in a previous primary election. He asked for a written statement and the following was given to him: "Richmond, Va., Aug 3, 1915. "This is to certify that Mr. J. T. Taylor, 1406 Kemper Street, applied to 2nd Clay Ward and was turned down on account of special instructions to Judges from instructions signed by Clyde W. Saunders, Chairman City Committee and W. G. Duke, Seet. "O. L. Koon, Registrar and Judge" Mr. Taylor was much disgusted and went to the City Hall with the hope that he would be accorded the right and privilege of voting for the democrat of his choice. He got no encouragement and he returned to his office in disgust. The new instructions deny to colored men the right to vote in Democratic primaries, even when held under the provisions of the State law. It is not known whether or not Mr. Taylor will test the matter in the courts. Facte That the People Should Know About Smallwood Memorial Institute. On the banks of the historic James about forty miles from Richmond is a magnificent school-plant assessed at a valuation of $175,000. This institution is complete and equipped far beyond the average. The last building erected by Dr. Smallwood, was Lincoln Memorial Hall, at a cost of $43,192, and an electric water and power plant at cost of $25,000. Dr. Smallwood had paid during the progress of building and within the year that he lived after the completion of the same, more than three-fourths, which amounted to about $51,000, which his widow supplemented with $6,000 after his death in September, 1912. The board of trustees placed us in charge until they could select a president, after which we retired to our home in Richmond, October, 1913. Not one dollar has been paid since but instead, debts have constantly increased to defray running expenses of the school, many of the teachers being now without their pay for the past session. Since our recent visit to the institution we feel that the exact situation should be made known to the colored people and, whose control the school has always been and for the benefit of whom Dr. Smallwood dedicated his entire life. We feel that our own people should know the facts and control the situation if they will. It is nothing short of giving this beautiful and valuable school away if we let it pass into other hands for a few thousand dollars, which Dr. Smallwood would be as nothing were he alive. Will not a body of men do one fraction as much and keep what is their own? Respectfully, (Mrs.) JOHN J. SMALLWOOD. 102 E.

Hartley Manners A Comedy of Youth Founded by Mr. Manners on His Great Play of the Same Title-Illustrations From Photographs of the Play Copyright, 1913, by Dodd, Mead & Company SYNOPSIS. Frank O'Connell, young Irish patriot, born and wounded by British bullets in which he was shot, is aided by Angela Kinsworth an English society girl who defends him. Angela takes O'Connell to her brother's home to nurse him. He recovers and hones his skills. CHAPTER III. The Irish Patrician So far no man in the little wallaled in zone she had lived in had ever stirred Angela to in even momentary enthusiasm. They were all so fatnously contented with their environment. Sheltered from birth, their misery was chiefly how to make life pass the pessimist. They occasionally showed a pessimistic excitement over the progress of a cricket or polo match. Their achievements were largely those of the stay at home warriors who fought with the quilt what others faced death with the sword for. Their thorna disgusted ber. Their self satisfaction spurred her to resentment. Here was a man in the real heart of life. He was engaged in a struggle that makes existence worth while—the effort to bring a message to his people. Then across a picture of her sister Monica, with her pony social pretensions—recognition of those in a higher grade, bread and meat and drink to her; adulation and gross battery; the very breath of her nostrils, her brother's cheap, narrow plattitudes about the rights of rank and wealth. The memory of her mother was the only link that bound her to her childhood—the gentle, uncomplaining spirit of her, the unselfish abnegation of her, the souls tragedy of her, giving up her life at the altar of duty at the bidding of a hardened despot. She was raised from her self-searching thoughts by the doctor's voice and the touch of his hand. "Goodbye for the present, Miss Kings north. Surely it's in good hands I'm lavin' him. But for good he'll win in the black fall with oil Dr. Cotterell glairn down at him with his glimlet eyes." Angela sat down at a little distance from the sickbed and watched the wounded man. His face was drawn with pain. His eyes were closed. But he was not sleeping. His fingers locked and unlocked. His tits moved. He opened his eyes and looked at her. "You need not stay here," he said. "Would you rather didn't?" "Why did you bring me here?" "To make sure your wound were attended to." "Your brother is a landlord—Kings north, the abusive landlord, we used to call your father as children. And I'm in his son's house. I'd better be in fall than here." "You mustn't push that" You've brought me here to humble me to humiliate me. "No. To care for you to protect you." "I respect me!" "I if I can." "That's strange." "I thank you speak today." She paused. "You must go to prison." "It's the lot of every Irishman today who says what he thinks." "It mustn't be yours." It mustn't. Angela's tone now in her dress She appealed. "It mustn't." I'll appeal to my brother to stop it. "If he anything like his father it's small bed he'll pay to your plumbing. The poor watcher here appealed to old Kinsorth in fainthem and slackness not for help, mind ye, just for a little time to pay their rent—and the only answer they ever got from him was 'Tay or go!'" "I know, I know!" Angela replied. "And many a time when I was a child my mother and I cryed over it." He looks at her curiously. "You and my mother cried over us?" "We did." Indeed we did. "They say the heart of England is in its womankind. But they have nothing to do with her laws." "They will have some day." "It'll be a long time comin', I'm thinkin'. If they take so long to free a whole country how long do ye suppose it'll take them to free a whole sex—and the female one at that?" "It will come!" she said resolutely. "And you cried over Ireland's sorrows." "As a child and as a woman," said Angela. "And you've gone about here tryin' to help them, too, haven't yet." "I could do very little." "Well, the spirit is there—and the heart is there. If they hadn't liked you it's the sorry time maybe your brother would have." He paused again, looking at her intently, while his fingers clutched the coverlet convulsively as if to stifle a cry of pain. "May I ask ye yer name?" he gasped. "Angela," she said, almost in a whisper. "Angela," he repeated. "Angela! It's well named ye' are. It's the mishin'rin' angel you've been down here—to the people—and to me." "Don't talk any more now. Hear." "Rust, is it, with all the flounder in the warrior bends! in the brain and thunder in my heart!" "How in town until the factor comes." He lay back and closed his eyes. Angela sat perfectly still. In a few minutes he opened them again. There was a new light in his eyes and a smile on his lips. "He heard me speak, did ye?" "Yes." "Where were you?" "Above you, behind a bank of trees." A playful smile played around his lips as he said, "It was a good speech, wasn't it?" "I thought it wonderful." Angela answered. "And what were you feeling listen in to a man urging the people against yer own country?" "I felt I wanted to stand beside you and echo everything you said." "Did you?" And his eyes buried and his voice rose. "You spoke as some prophet speak- ing in a wilderness of sorrow trying to bring them comfort." He smiled whimily as he said in a weary voice. "I tried to bring them comfort, and I got them broken heads and I kissed it." "It's only through suffering every great cause triumphs," said Angela. "Then the Irish should triumph some day. They've suffered enough, God knows." "They will," said Angela eagerly. "Oh, how I wish I'd been born a man to throw in my body with the work, to bring comfort to sorrow, freedom to the oppressor, joy to wretchedness." That is your mission. How I envy you! I envy in what the future has in store for you! Live for it! Live for it!" "I will" cried O'Connell. "Some day the yoke will be lifted from us. God grant that yoke will be the hand to help do that. God grant him give to see it done. That day't be worth living for—to write recognition from our miles, to-to-to." He sank back weakly on the floor, his voice falling to a whisper. Angel brought him some water and helped him up while he drank. It she smoothed back the shining hair-red, shot through gold—from his forehead. He thanked her with a look. Suddenly he burst into tears. The strain of the JOHN H. O'Connell Had Endured Months of Torture. day had smapped his self control at last. The firestorms were opened. He sobbed and sobbed like some tired, hurt child. Amelia tried to comfort him. In a moment she was crying too. He took her hand and blessed it repeatedly, the tears falling on it as he did so. "God bless ye! God bless ye!" he cried. In that moment of self revelation their hearts went out to each other. Neither had known happiness nor love nor faith in mankind. In that one enlightening moment of emotion their hearts were laid bare to each other. The great comedy of life between man and woman had begun. Three days afterward O'Connell was able to dress and move about his room. He was weak from loss of blood and the congenement that an active man resents. But his brain was clear and vivid. They had been three wonderful days. Angelin had made them the most amazing in his life. The memory of those hours spent with her he would carry to his grave. She read to him and talked to him and lectured him and comforted him. And in a little while he must leave it all. He must stand his trial under the "crimes act" for speaking at a "proclaimed" meeting. Well, whatever his torture, he knew he would come out better equipped for the struggle. He had learned something of himself he had no for never dreamed of in his bitter struggle with the hardships of his life. He had learned to live for new heights. THE, RICHMOND PLACE, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA All of the country, the call of the heart, the cry of beauty and truth and rejuvenation. Angela implored him with all these, in the three days she ministered to him she had opened up a vista he had bitherthe never known. And now he had to have it and face his accusers and be beaten and feared at in the machine they called "trials." From the courthouse he would go to the prison, and those he would be sent back into the world with the brand of the prison cell upon him. And back of it all the yearning that at the end she would be waiting and watching for his return to the conflict for the great "cause" to which he had dedicated his life. On the morning of the third day Mr. Roche, the resident magistrate, was sent for by Nathaniel Kingnorth. Mr. Roche found him firm and determined, his back to the fireplace, in which a bright fire was burning, although the month was July. "I've sent for you to remove this man O'Connell," added Nathaniel art for a pause. "Certainly—if he is well enough to be moved." "The doctor, I understand, says that he is." "Very well. I'll drive him down to the courthouse. The court is sitting now," said Roche, rising. CHAPTER IV. Angela In Distress KINGSNORTH went on: "The attitude of the people, their views, their conduct, is deployable—hopeless. I came here to see what I could do for them. I even thought of spending a certain portion of each year here. But from what I've heard it would be a waste of time and money." "It is discouraging at first sight, but we'll have a better state of affairs presently. We must first stamp out the agitator. He is the most potent handicap." "Could it be done?" "It would take time—every big movement takes time." Roche paused, looked shrewdly at Kingsnorth and asked him: "What do you intend doing with this estate?" "I am in a quidary. I'm almost determined to put it in the market—soil it, be rid of it. It has always been a source of annoyance to our family. However, I settle nothing until I return to London. I'll go in a few days—much sooner than I intended. This man being brought into my house has annoyed and upset me." "I'm sorry," said the magistrate. "Miss Kingmorth was so insistent, and the fellow seemed in a bad way; otherwise I would never have allowed it." A servant came in response to Kingmorth's ring and was sent with a message to have the man O'Connell ready to accompany the magistrate as quickly as possible. Over a glass of sherry and a cigar the two men resumed their discussion about the estate. "I wouldn't decide too heavily about disgusting the land. Although there's always a good deal of discontent, there is really very little trouble here. In fact, until legislators like O'Connell came among us we had everything pretty peaceful. We'll dispose of him in short order." "Do I do. Make an example of him by all means." "Trust us to do that," said Rocke. After a moment he added, "To refer again to selling the estate, you would get very little for it. It can't deprive much more, and there is always the chance it may impress. Some of the people are quite willing to work." "Are they? They've not shown any willingness to me." "Oh, to. They wouldn't." "What's. Not to their landlord?" "You'd be the last they'd show it to. They're strange people in many ways until you get to know them. Now there are many natural resources that might be developed if some capital were put into them." "My new steward discouraged me about doing that. He said it might be ten years before I got a penny out of the property." "Your new steward?" "Andrew McPherson, the prominent lawyer." "He's a hard man, sir." "The estate needs one." "Burke understands the nature of the people." "He sympathizes with them. I don't want a man like that working for me. I want loyalty to my interests. The makeshift policy of Bursa during my father's lifetime helped to bring about this pretty state of things. We'll see what firmness will do—new broom, sweep the place clean, rid of slovenely, ungrateful tenants, clear away the taproom ontours. I have a definite plan in my mind. If I decide not to sell I perfect my plan in London and begin operations as soon as I'm satisfied it is feasible and can be put upon a proper business basis. There's too much sentiment in Ireland. That's been their ruin. I am going to bring a little common sense into play." Kingmorth walked restlessly around the room as he spoke. He stopped by the windows and beckoned the magistrate. "There's your man on the drive. Soct." And he pointed to where O'Connell, with a soldier each side of him, was slowly moving down the long avenue. The door of the room opened, and Angela came in burriedly and went straight to whore the two men stood. There was the catch of a sob in her voice as she spoke to the magistrate. "Are you taking that poor wounded man to prison?" "The doctor says he is well enough to be moved," replied Roche. "You've not seen the doctor. I've just questioned him. He told he you had not asked his opinion and that if you move him it will be without his action." Hingemouth interrupted敏grily, "Please don't interrupt." Angela turned on him, "No, it's you who are sending him so prison." "I am." Anglican expressed strongly to the most honor. "Don't do that. I entreat you—don't do it." "But I have no choice, Miss Kinganorth." "The man can scarcely walk," she pleaded. "He will receive every attention; believe me, Miss Kinganorth." Roche replied. Angela faced her brother again. "If you let that wounded man go from this house today you will regret it to the end of your life." Her face was dead white. Her breath was coming thickly. Her eyes were fastened in hatred on her brother's face. "Kindly try to control yourself, Angela." Kingsmorth said sternly. "You should consider my position a little more—" "Your position? And what is in his? Yes with everything you want in life—that man with nothing. He is being bounded to prison for what? Plunding for his country! Is that a crime? He was shot down by soldiers—for what? For showing something we English are always boasting of feeling ourselves and resent any other nation feeling it—patriotism! "Stop!" commanded Kingsmorth. "If you take that sick, wretched man out of this house it will be a crime"—Oegan Angeli. Kingsnorth stopped her. He turned to the magistrate. "Kindly take the man away." Roche moved to the window. Angela's heart sank. All her pleading was in vain. Her voice faltered and broke: "Very well, then, take him. Sentence him for doing something his own countrymen will one day build a monument to him for doing. The moment the prison door closes behind him a thousand voices will cry 'Shame' on you and your government and a thousand new patriots will be enrolled. And when he comes out from his torture he'll carry on the work of baited and vengeance against his tyrants. He will fight you to the last ditch. You may torture his body, but you cannot break his heart or wither his spirit They're behead you. They're—they're—she stopped suddenly as her voice rose to the breaking point and left the room. The magistrate went down the drive In a few moments O'Connell was on his way to the courthouse, a closely guarded prisoner. Angela, from her window, watched the men disappear. She buried her face in her hands and mounced as she had not done since her mother left her just a few years before. The girlfriend in her dead. She was a woman The one great note had come to her, transforming her whole nature-love. And the man she loved was being carried away to the misery and degration of a convict. Gradually the means died away. The convulsive hoarding of her breast sustained. A little inter, when her slater, Monica, came in search of her, she found Angela in a dead faint. By night she was in a fever. One day in November Angela ready of the following letter. Ireland, Ireland, New York, Dear Lady of Mercy, I have received a presentance. I am free. At first the brittle wings of my wings were red, red, roundedness, of my depths I had to pick the brittle into me. Then the thought of you announced me. Your gift of value, your beauty, your pity, your unfounded faith in the strengthened my soul. All the things that I have been taught to include in my life I was fortunate that others might never know how I was impressed that my country might be free liberty. And so the last was lighten. In days of these three sojourn days we were marvelous, so savvy that it shone like a star through the darkness of these terrible days. You seem to have taken hold of my heart and my soul and my life. For now, for writing this to you but it ever once you who understands the main principles of my nature, of my hope and my ambitions - indeed, of my very thoughts - had the leader of my party. He greeted me and the worthy follower. They think it best I should leave Ireland for another. If I take active part at once I shall be again and sent for a longer sentence. They have offered me the position of one of the speakers in a campaign in America to raise funds for the "Vance." I must first see the chief in London. He must be able to meet me, to meet the terms of my work and expressing a wish to meet me. I wonder if it would be possible to see you in London? If I am rent to America it would speed my going to speak to you again. If you feel this and I will understand, not answer this and I will understand. God bless and keep you. Yours in hom age and gratitude. London, Nov. 19, 13. My Dear Mr. O'Connell, I am glad indeed to have Mr. O'Connell are free again. I have often thought of your misery during all these months and longed to do something to assuage it. It is only when a friend is in need and all names of help are given to him that a friend can be loved. That they have not crushed your spirit does not surprise me. I was as sure of that as I am that the sun is shining today. That you do not work activity in your home, that you will abate the rigor of their unrest. When that day comes you must return and take up the mission with renewed strength and hope and stimulated by the added experience of bitter sufferers. You in London. I am staying with a distant connection of the family. We go to the south of France in a few weeks. I have been very much—sheerly reproach to the unknown but the best of me. I am almost recovered and to be still all day. My only companions are my nieces and my thoughts. Let me know when you expect to arrive I have no guess to tell you, but the words hask as they come to my pen. Looking forward to seeing you, in all sincerity, AUGELA KINGSNORTH NATHANIEL KINGWORTT may only ever enough in need to permit of Angela's recovery. He went into the stairroom only once. When Angela saw him she turned her back on him and refused to speak to him. For a moment a fist of pity for his young sister gave him a pang at his heart. She looked so frail and worn, so desperately ill. After all, she was his sister, and, again, had she not been punished? He was willing to forget the foolhardy things she had done and the bitter things she had said. Let bygones be bygones. He re-claimed that he had neglected her. He would do so, no longer. Far from it. When they returned to London all that would be remedied. He would take care of her in every possible way. He felt a genuine thrill course through him as he thought of his generosity. To all of this Angela made no answer. Stung by her silence, he left the room and sent for his other sister. When Monica came he told her that whenever Angela wished to recognize his magnanimity she could send for him. She would not find him unforgiving. To this Angela sent no reply. When the fever had passed and she was stronger arrangements were made for the journey to London. As Angela walked unsteadily to the carriage, leaning on the arm of the nurse, Nathandel came forward to assist her. She passed him, without a word. Nor did she speak to him once nor answer any remark of his during the long journey on the train. When they reached London she refused to go to the Kingsnorth house, where her brother lived, but wont once to a distant cousin of her mothers. Mrs. Wrexford, and made her home with her, as she had often done before. She refused to hold any further communication with her brother, despite the ministrations of her sister, Monica, and Mrs. Wrexford. Mrs. Wrexford was a gentle little white capped widow, whose only happiness in life seemed to be in worrying over others' misfortunes. She was on the board of various charitable organizations and was a busy helper in the field of mercy. She worshiped Angela, as she had her mother before her. That something serious had occurred between Angela and her brother Mrs. Wrexford realized, but she could find out nothing by questioning Angela. Every time she asked her anything relative to her attitude Angela was silent. One day she begged Mrs. Wrexford never to speak of her brother again. Mrs. Wrexford respected her wishes and watched her and nursed her through her convalescence with a tender solicitude. When O'Connell's letter came Angela showed it to Mrs. Wrexford, together with her reply. "Do you mind if I see him here?" Angela asked. "What kind of man is he?" "The kind that heroes are made of." "He writes so strangely—may one say unreservedly? Is he a gentleman?" "In the real meaning of the word—yes." "Of good family?" "Not as we estimate goodness. His family were just simple pendants." "Do you think it wise to see him?" "I don't consider the wisdom. I only listen to my heart." "You love him." "So much of love as I can give is his." "Oh, my dear!" and Mrs. Wrexford, thoroughly amazed. "But don't you think it would be indiscreet, dear, to have such a man come here!" "Why tell greet?" "A man who has been in prison," girl Mrs Wrestford shuddered at the thought. She had seen and helped many poor victims of the cruel laws and the memory of their drawn faces and well eyes and course flesh dug across her mind. She could not recocile one coming into her little home. Angela answered her: "Yes, he has been in prison, but the shame was for his persecutors, not for him. Still, if you would rather I saw him somewhere else?" "Oh, no, my dear child. If you wish it" "I do. I just want to see him again as he writes he does me. I want to bear him speak again. I want to wish him godsped on his journey." "Very well, Angela," said the old lady. "As you wish." A week afterward O'Connell arrived in London. They met in Mrs. Wrexford's little drawing room in Mayfair. They looked at each other for some moments without speaking. Both not ed the fash lines of suffering in each other's face. They had been through the long valley of the shadow of sorrow since they had last met. But O'Connell thought as he looked at her that all the suffering he had gone through passed from him as some hideous dream. It was worth it—these months of torture—just to be looking at her now; worth the long black nights, the labor in the beat of the day with life's outcasts around him, the taunts of his jailers; worth all the infamy of it just to stand there looking at her. She had taken his life in her two little bands. He had bathed his soul all these months in the thought of her. He had prayed night and day that he might see her standing near him just as she was then, she the droop of her eye and the silk of her hair and feel the joyce of her hand and hear the exquisite tenderness of her voice. He stand made before her. She hold out her hand and said simply: "Thank you for coming." "It was good of you to let me," he answered earnestly. "I thought they would be," she said gently. All the while he was looking at the pale face and the thin transparency of her mouth. "But you have suffered too. You have been ill. Were you in danger?" His voice had a catch of fear in ks he asked the, to him, terrible question. "No. It was just a fever. It is past. I am a little weak—a little tired. That will pass too." "If anything had happened to you—or ever should happen." He buried his face in his hands and moaned: "Oh, my God! Oh, my God!" His body shook with the socks he tried vainly to check. Angela put her hand gently on his shoulder. "Don't do that," she whispered. He controlled himself with an effort. "It will be over in a moment. Just a moment. I am sorry." He suddenly knelt at her feet, his head bowed in reverence. "God help me!" he cried faintly. "I love you. I love you!" She looked down at him, her face transfigured. He loved her! The beat of her heart spoke it. "He loves you!" The throbbing of her brain shouted it. "He loves you!" The cry of her soul whispered it. "He loves you!" She stretched out her hands to him: "My love is yours, just as yours is mine. Let us join our lives and give them to the suffering and the oppressed." He looked up at at her wonder. "I don't. Think what I am!" "You are the best that is in me. We are mates." "A peasant! A beggar!" "You are the noblest of the noble." "A convict." "Our Saviour was crucified so that his people should be redeemed. You have given the pain of your body so that your people may be free." "It wouldn't be fair to you," he pleaded. "If you leave me it will be unfair to us both." "Oh, my dear one! My dear one!" He folded her in his arms. "I'll give the best of my days to guard you and protect you and bring you happiness." "I am happy now," and her voice died to a whisper. Three days afterward Nathaniel Kingsmorth returned late at night from a political banquet. It had been a great evening. At last it seemed that life was about to give him what he most wished for. His dearest ambitions were, apparently, about to be realized. He had been called on as a stanch Conservative to add his quote to the already wonderful array of brilliant perceptions of seasoned statesmen and admirable speakers. Kingsnorth had excelled himself. Never had he spoken so powerfully. Being one of the only men at the banquet who had enjoyed a brief glimpse of Ireland, he made the solution of the Irish question the main topic of his speech. Speaking boldly and earnestly, he placed before them his panacea for ```markdown ``` "Then across a picture of her sister Monica." Irish illa. His hearers were enthralled. When he sat down the cheering was prolonged. When he left the gathering he was in a conditioning ecstasy. Lying back amid the cushions during his long drive home, he closed his eyes and pictured the future. His imagination ran riot. It took wings and flow from height to height. He saw himself the leader of a party-"the Kingnorth party"-controlling his followers with a hand of iron and driving them to vote according to his judgment and his decree. By the time he had reached home he had entered the cabinet and was being spoken of as the probable prime minister. He poured out a liquor and stood smiling it. as he turned over the letters brought by the night's poet. One requested him. It had been delivered by hand and was marked "Best Bryant." As he read the letter every vestige of earlier left his face. A GENERAL SURVEY OF THE WAR WEDNESDAY. Dispatches to London say that the Germans have heavy siege guns within range of Novo Georgievsk, twenty miles north of Warawar. Patrograd has admitted the capture of Blonie, seventeen miles west of the Polish capital, and Grojec, twenty-six miles southwest. The fall of Riga is regarded as imminent. Paris reports French advances in Alsace and announces a raid by thirty-one allied aerplanes, in which the German depot at Confans-en-Jarnay, in the Meuse district, was shelled. Rome reports progress in the lausanne region of Austria, where the Italian troops are attacking a long a seventy-five mile front. Greece has threatened to sever relations with Turkey unless persecutions of Greeks in Turkish territory stop THURSDAY. Russian forces in south Poland are making a desperate stand to save the Lublin-Cholm railway. Vienna reports that part of this road has been captured by Austro-German troops in heavy fighting, but this is denied by Petrograd. South of Warsaw the Germans are nearing Irvangorod. West of the capital the Teutonic forces are said to be within thirteen miles of the city. To the north they are attacking Novo-Georgevsk. In Courland the Germans are reported within twenty miles of Riga. Dispatches from Switzerland say the Italians, after pleasing the Austrian line at Tolmino, St. Lucas and St. Avre, have captured important positions in the Isenzo region. The Hague hears that Germany is hurrying troops from the east front for a new drive against the allies in France. Both Germany and France claim successes in the Vosges region, and heavy fighting is reported near Souchez, in which it is reported aerial torpedoes are being used.

Heavy artillery fighting is in progress north of Aras. SATURDAY --- The fortress of Irangorod, in south ornoland, is reported taken by Germans. Heavy fighting between the Austro-dermans and Russians in the east is in progress. From the Baltic province, southward across Poland to the region of Sokol in Galicia the Austrians and Germans, according to their respective war chancellor, continue to make progress in their drives of Altaa and Warsaw. In the Austro-Italian theatre the Italians are reported to have taken Gortia, after a five weeks' siege. On the Cairo front Rome says an energetic counter offensive against an Austrian attack ended in a veritable breakdown of the Austrian forces. Along the western front artillery engagements have prefigured, although there have been infantry attacks in the forest of Le Poitre and in the Vosges. The Germans, Paris says, have just ground in the Vosges. SUNDAY Field Marshal von Mackensen drive on Warsaw from the south has carried the Austro-Hungarian forces within ten miles of the Polish capital Jazgarniew on the Jerduna river and only that distance from Warsaw was stormed by the Toultonic allies and captured. This news was contained in a German official statement received from Berlin. On the western front the French troops made a surprise attack on two forts in the Vosges mountains held by the Germans and after a fierce hand-to-hand fight drove out the Kadov troops. At other points quit prevailed. The Italians continue their drive over the Alps into Austria and have captured several important positions, along the Isonzo river. MONDAY The American steamship Leelanan was torpeded off the coast of Scotland by a German submarine. All of the members of the crew were saved. The attack was made just twenty-four hours after the American note on submarine attacks had been received in Berlin. The Germans have made further progress in their attacks on the Russian front to the north of Poland, where they have crossed the Narew river and driven back the Russians toward their fortified positions on the Bug river. To the south of Warsaw the Russians have repulsed all Austro-German attacks and are holding all of their positions in that section.

FIRST ST, Fine. Tailoring OHITMAN M. WHITE: --- Published every Saturday by John Mitchell, Jr. at 811 H. 40th St., Richmond, Va. JOHN MITCHELL, JR.——EDITOR All communications intended for publication should be sent so as to reach us by Wednesday. Entered at the Post Office at Richmond, Va. or second-class matter. SATURDAY, ... AUGUST 7, 1915 The death of JOHN MANN, Ja. removes from city life one of Richmond's most progressive citizens. He possessed sterling qualities and he was uncompromising in a position once taken. Conscientious, straightforward, upright, he was a devotee of the Golden Rule. He had no race prejudice and he valued a man at his true worth, regardless of race, color or previous condition of servitude. In him white men had an advocate and colored men a pleader at the bar of public opinion, both knew him well and both join in singing for him a requiem and in placing a wreath of immortals upon his tomb. Good night and goodbye. We have received a communication from RD Du L. G. Johnson of Philadelphia. In deploring the present unrest, disagreements and casual arguments of members now taking place within the ranks of the National Baptist Convention. He states that we have before asserted that the national organization must recognize under the new charter of incorporation before that instrument becomes binding upon the present unincorporated National Baptist Convention. Any necessary changes or modifications can be made at Chicago in September. Until that time, all personal arrangements and bakerings should cease. --- We have read with interest the reply of Great Britain to the representations of the American government relative to the interference by the British administration with the commerce of the United States between neutral countries. It is a great declaration of the refusal of His Majesty's government to agree with the contests of our Secretary of State and leaves in a predicament where neither enforcement of the treaty nor understanding them by a treaty to the treaties of our diplomatic relations shall be accepted by the provisions of Great Britain as our standard for future international discharges. We are at odds with both sides over the withdrawal of our allies in the Gulf. Britain, over the withdrawal of our commercials. We cannot and will not do business in our domains with other countries. It should be a matter for our organization, this country and others. Certainly Parliament. We have resolved the end of our bitter in dialogue with those great diplomatic opponents and it will be for the Congress to save whether we have resolved the end of our relations. --- Colored democrats in Virginia could not recognized in the digital primary election, last Tuesday. They were denied the right to vote in their party councils, wholly and solely upon the basis of race and color. Mr. John T. Trautvogel a reputable colored citizen was deprived of showing his application for a white democrat, who was a candidate for office and he trumped from the election present to the City Hall and then to the candidate for whom he desired to vote and there was "nothing" done. Colored democrats in the North will understand the predecessor of colored democrats in the South. We never intend to support any individual or party, that will not recognize us in the fullest sense of the word when it comes to party councils. There are enough parties in the State, asking for our suffrage to enable us to exercise our political rights without our being required to knock at the back door of the Democratic Party for denied representation. --- DEPRECIATING ASSETS The great fight at the National Baptist Convention and the discussion of the Charter of Incorporation of that body next September will be neither more nor less than a contest for the control of the National Baptist Publishing House at Nashville, Tenn. The legal content can only be conducted by a corporation and this corporation has been created. The stakes are a publishing house and its appertentions variously estimated to be worth from $250,000 to $300,000 in the hands of an expert management and actually worth less than $30,000 in the hands of a novice or an incompetent individual. or an incompetent individual. As a matter of fact more money will be lost as a result of this contest and more value depreciated than it would cost to buy out the whole Boyd family and those associated with them. Colored people as a rule do not "count the cost." They lest their passion outrun their judgment and destroy valuable assets as a sacrifice to insane fury. It is reported that the waters of the Niagara River are smooth a short distance above the Falls. A boatman with a gay companion, oblivious of the danger, was hailed, "Boatman, ahoy, the rapids are below you!" He did not believe it. The boat drifted until finally he saw his danger. It was too late and the two bodies were seen near the overturned boat after it had shot over the Falls. We thought of this relative to the great National Baptist Convention. "Baptists, ahoy, the rapids are below you!" "THE PARTING OF THE WAYS." "At first blush" we are of the opinion that the National Baptist Publishing Board and its secretary were right in declining to change their charter in order that it might conform to the articles of incorporation of the National Baptist Convention, until such articles of incorporation had been submitted to the National Baptist Convention in annual session and had been formally approved by that body. We seriously doubt though, the wisdom of the National Baptist Publishing Board and its secretary in declining to recognize the authority of M. M. Rodgers, auditor of the National Baptist Convention to examine the records of the National Baptist Publishing Board unless he claimed to be acting solely under the authority of the incorporated National Baptist Convention and not under the unincorporated body of the same. name. We are of the opinion that unless the National Baptist Convention vested specific authority in the commission to incorporate the National Baptist Convention, its action in so doing does not become operative and binding upon the unincorporated body until it has reconstituted under the aforesaid charter of incorporation. The National Baptist Publishing Board is independent being protected 50 its Tennessee charter, and until it commits to be change its charter as necessary to be subject to the incorporated National Baptist Convention it is free from the dictation of the incorporated National Baptist Convention as the professional March share in the joint with hands. Rev. Burkard and his associates should have that Mr. M. M. Burkard declare that he was acting under the authority as auditor of the memorated National Baptist Convention and then permitted him to proceed with his audition. Had he deceived so to do, his own destination would have justified Dr. Reyd and his associates cannot be receiving his authority. national Baptist Publishing Board was within its rights in declining to change its charter and it is in a state of unjustifiable subordination in declining to permit the unrestricted action of the National Baptist Convention to audit its books. In so doing it openly repudiates the ownership by the National Baptist Convention of the publishing house of that great Baptist organization and gives to reenemies all of the capital they need in their attack upon that great business institutions on the floor of the National Baptist Convention at Chicago. It would be well for Rev Dr. Boyd and his associates to consider this phase of the situation and not before it is too late. NEWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA FLORENCE, N. C. Rev. V. H.

Apply to Common, 600 Elmhill Street, City. Main Street, Store Undermined by Flood, Fall With Sudden Crash —Telephone Exchange Creeks, Street Car Traffic is Blocked and Many Parts of City in Darkness. Storm and flood coming with sud- den fury yesterday afternoon, inflicted damage in Richmond which it will take several days to estimate; caused the wreck of two buildings, partially destroyed several others, endangered the scores of negroes living on North Fifteenth street, tore up paving, put telephone and telegraph wires out of commission, stopped street car traffic, and for two hours isolated Richmond from the outside world. The storm centered above Richmond, and its radius extended far below Granite, to the south, and above Quantico on the north. Beginning a few minutes after the second hour had struck, the storm continued with unabated fury until the fall of 1871. During those five hours the city was hit by a series of storms in the throes of the worst summer storm it has experienced in many years. Every part of the city was affected. Lightning struck in numerous places. Motors of many street cars were put out of commission by the electric fluid. No one was hurt. Passengers, not daring to brave the downpour and the terrible flashes from the sites, remained in their seats. TELEPHONE SERVICE ENTIRELY On the order of Albert S. Tanner, manager of the Cheapake and Potomac Telephone Company, all service was suspended between 1:30 and 4:30 o'clock. It was the first in six years that such an order had been issued. Police, acting under instructions recently issue, did not call in to headquarters from patrol boxes. The fire alarm service was interrupted, but there were sufficient boxes from which alarms could be sent in. This was fortunate, for the fire department was called upon several times to respond to fires caused by lightning bolts, and at 5 o'clock No. 2 truck company was called out to save several score families living on Fifth street from drowning. Out of the ravage wrought by storms and floods the name of one man stand in front. He did a hero's work, and when that work was finished and women and children looked for him to thank him, he was gone. Sargent C. M. Johnson, of the First Police district, stood on the west side of Fifteenth street, when the storm was raining at its worst. Shoeko creek, filled with floating timers and other refuse which the swift current had gathered in its course through the valley, backed water in the rear of the Main street and the shoe factory. Main street and up in Fifteenth street as far north as Brown street. The back current had the momentum which had brought the heavy waters down. "NEGROES MAROQNED WHEN CREEK OVERFLOWS" From Marshall Street, where the vault crosses to Brown, a distance of three blocks, the back water spurged and swirled until it had attained a depth of from twelve to fifteen feet on the east side the street is lined with one and two story houses, all occupied by negro families. They had looked out from their windows upon the water rushing up the street, but were not alarmed. The had been Fifteenth street covered with water before, and many times they had waded out to gather in such refuse as the stream bore to them on its yellow bosom. But, as anxious moments passel, the water became deeper and deeper, until it lapped through the ground their windows and then leaped up to the windows above. The negroes were marooned. They climbed as high as they could go. A few managed to crawl out on top of the roofs. Women, with babies casped to their breasts, screamed from the higher windows. An unlooked for peril had come to them. A thunder shower, hastening with-the boom of distant thunder, had brought them to the doors of death. Only the width of a street separated them from life. "DINGHAT" JONES PROVES HIM SELF TO BE A HERO. Sergeant Johnson, who had been watching the ominous rise of the water, blow his whistle for help, Policemen Kidd, Shipp and Sweet and others came to him. They stood upon the opposite side of the street, overcome for the moment with the knowledge that they were practically powerless to save those who were about to drown before their eyes. Then a call brought No. 2 truck of the fire department, in charge of Captain Shaw and Lieutenant Goodman. It was a question how to begin the work of rescue. Then it was that a nugge stepped from behind the waiting crowd and volunteered his services. His name is James Jones, but he is better known as "Ding-bat." "I'll take a rope to 'em," he said simply, and began taking his clothes. Obed Raffo, of the fire department and Captain W. A. Davenport, of No. 3 trunk, died a rope about the rover's waist. He had been a firefighter from the River many times, and he had had experience in believing with strong murmur. But this current was more powerful than he had thought, and had been able to force him to him was large and heavy. He had got half half half the distance when he fingered up a hand. With some dif- ferently they hauled him back. Nothing daunted, he volunteered to try again. WOMEN AN CHILDREN RESCUED FROM WATER. This time they strapped a lightbear rope about him, attaching one end to the larger rope he had just discarded. Police and firemen theathered themselves to this end, and "Dingbat" leaped into the rushing tide. He battled mightily against the current, swimming with a strong and steady stroke. He gained his mark. As each of the second-story window and porch opened, the found two women and three children on the top of a table. The women were holding the children in their arms. The water was rising about their necks. Between them and the coiling a bare six inches remained. They were too tired to scream again. They only looked at their rescuer in the window and sodded their thanks. "Dingbat"—he is better known by that name—he roped to the window sill, and pulling himself hand over hand across the wall, strove for his way back. In the meantime Chief Rafa had impressed into service a truck of the street cleaning department and sent it down to the river's edge in Fulton for a boat. The boat was brought. Captain Dawson and the negar swam with it to the marooned house, and, after a hole had been cut in the side of the house, the women and children were lifted to safety. She using the rope, arched with the aid of other fremen, who had discarded everything but their clothing, the boat was towed to shore. The wet and bedraggled women and children were removed to the city jail, where they dried their clothes and where every attention was given to them. The women rescued from the building gave the names of Lucy Harris and Rachael Johnson. Three small children were taken from the roof or a nearby building and carried to safety in the boat. Those assisting the police and firemen in the rescue work were Lee Lane, Christopher Columbus, Albert Williams and Frank Baughan. NEGRO FAMILIES ARE RENDER ED. DESTITUTE. Between fifty and sixty other families were rescued from houses higher up the street. Here the cur rent was not so strong, and thronen were able to use oars in taking the boat back and forth. Within little more than an hour every man, woman and child on the three blocks were rescued. Many of them were taken to the First Police station, where Captain Sowell and the house owner for the day was rannicked for dry clothing, and every garment was given away. All the negro families rescued are poor, and the flood rendered them destitute. When they were able to crawl into their homes again they found their, desolation complete. What had not been washed away was ruined. They had not even a crumb to eat. A movement to raise funds for their relief has already been begun. The police were the first to help. Firemen and police were first to help. A hero of James Jones nicknamed "Dingbat," and Major Werner was hot night that he was deserving of a Carnegie medal. SHOCKOBD CREEK FLOODS INTOMAN SURFACE With the marooned people of Fifthth street rescued and safely housed, the police and fire departments turned their attention to other alts. Main street, between Fifthth and Sixthth was flooded with three feet of water. Every cellar was brimming. The title had risen above the sidewalk, and from Tony Pananton's confessionery, at 1523 East Main street, to the saloon of D. Hallman and Bro., 1551 E. Main. Every floor was covered in water varying in depth from three inches to half a foot. Men rolled their trousers about the knee, and worked for hours ladying water out with big diggers or sweeping out with the brooms. Quantities of merchandise were ruined. Much was saved by plitting it on shelf and counter when the merchants realized that destruction was eminent. Several hundred people had come down to look at the wreck and run and were about to turn away when there came a sudden fear and crash At 7 o'clock the building at 1353 East Main street, two doors west of the Railroad Y. M. C. A., collapsed. The whole of the building, with the exception of the rear, was a lot of the roof, fell in and bricks and were dung to the middle of the street. Shocktree creek runs directly beneath the building. Its overflow had undermined the foundations, and the building collapsed in a second. WILD SCENES OF ALARM AS BUILDING COLLAPSES People living on the opposite side of the street rushed out of their homes as if there had been an earthquake. White-faced mothers with babies hanging to their necks, ran out into the raid and stood shivering on the sidewalk until policemen thrust them into the shelter of windows. Men came out hailess and costless. The crowd increased. It was thought that Jacobini, who had rented the ground floor of the building for a confectionery shop and poolroom, had been caught in the ruin. Friends found him later. He was the last man to leave the building, and he had been gone but a moment when the collapse came. He had just spent $800 in fitting and sculpting the shoe. Within another hour the buildings next door collapsed. The ruin was complete. An insecure building remained standing, between the pile of fallen mortar and brick and the Railroad Y. M. C. A., and the police ordered every man to leave the association rooms. Building Inspector Battier and all his assistants were going to the rooms. It was too late for them to complete the demolition of the first building, which was in, and street car service was stopped and the danger came round. Police were guttled to stand watch through the night. BUILDINGS WRECKED BY RUSHI ENG WATERS. The rear wall of Baldwin and Brown's warehouse in the alley running east and west in the rear of Main street also caved in, and further damage was done. The front of Scott's drug store, 1617 East Franklin street, was rocked, and the aldewalk on both sides was torn up as if the wreckage had been purposely wrought. Here again the tide had risen several feet above the aldewalk level and a large amount of stock was damaged. The grocery store of L. H. Mundin, 1608 East Franklinstreet suffered damage, in like manner and in social degree. Reports if have wrought by the storm in other portions of the city dribbled into police and fire headquarters throughout the night. The bleachers in the Broad street baseball park were-blown from their supports and dung into the field like kidding wood. In the wee end there was half, and windows that were not blown in were smashed by the stones of ice. Awnings were ripped like paper from iron stands. Roof signs were blown down and show cases and board signs were smashed as the gale flung them together. Lightning struck the chimney-top rising from the plant of the Jacob Dold Packing Company 307-311 N. Seventeenth street, and shattered it like china. The wind picked up the loosened bricks and dropped them in front of the First Police station, a square away. Three men saw the bricks hurtling through the air and dodged in time, they sought refuge in the police station and remained there until the dauger was gone. TELEPHONE SERVICE SUSPENDS FOR ONE HOUR Telephone and telegraph companies were seriously interrupted in their service, and several hundred men will be put to work today to repair the damage. Manager A. S. Tanner, of the Cheesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company, said that 2,000 phones had been put out of commission by the storm, and that lightning had struck and rendered useless fifteen large overhead cables. Both the Westhampton and the Northside cables were put out of service. All of the long distance lines were temporarily disarranged, and last night the lines between Richmond and Petersburg, Norfolk and Ashville, were still down. More than 100 poles were down by the gale, and in many places uprooted trees are resting against the wires. Mr. Tanner said that it would take until tomorrow night to repair the damage. He put 100 men out last night and will keep them at work until all the lines are in service again. At 3:30 o'clock, when the storm was at its height and the sky was streaked and gashed with vivid flashes of lightning, the whole telephone service was suspended. The atmosphere there was no surcharged with electricity, but was too dangerous to keep a switch on. A malned suspended for an hour, and then was returned slowly and only by degrees. TELEGRAPH WIRHS DOWN IN MANY DIRECTIONS The Western Union Telegraph Company reported that its wires along the Southern Railway and the Atlantic Coast Line were down, and that three poles at Granite had been opened like reeds. The wires between Richmond and Lynchburg and two Charlotte were down, and twenty-five wires and five poles between here and Quantico, on the Richmond Prolificberg and Potomac Railroad, were torn away. The damage was localized, for poles in all direction between 140 and 200 men will be sent out this morning at daylight to repair the damage, and communication with Charlotte will be reestablished by 2 or 10 o'clock. The Postal Telegraph Company reported that it had far less likely, but no less likely, that robbers were said to be down but communication was not serious. Interrupted STREET CA SERVICE HALTED FOR TWO HOURS. Street car service was disarranged and halted for more than two hours. Several cars were put out of commission when electric discharges fooled the motors. Suburban train was tied up because of the trees flung by the gate against the trolley wires. Traffic on Main street, between Fourteenth and Seventeenth, was suspended by order of the police and fire departments. Cars were operated as far as north-east and Main, where the passengers transferred, walking to Twenty-first street for the eastbound cars. Jitney service was suspended soon after the first clap of thunder, and was resumed only when the storm and definitely passed over the city. Bacon, Quarter Branch, coming down from the head of its valley, far in the West Enc., burst from its bounds and swept across the narrow plain on both sides of its bed. The sewer construction recently begun by Contractor H. H. George was tossed aside and smashed against the banks as if it had been only hardened past. The flood backed into the shops of the Richmond branch of the American Locomotive Works, and buried the floor beneath five feet of muddy water. Oils and grease and the lighter tools were washed away. Damage was done to the shrapnel machines, and others will be coated with rust when the water shall have receded. The night shift, which goes on at 12 o'clock, was called off, and 150 men were put to work sweeping the water out and repairing the damage the rushing tide had done. It was said that the day shift will be able to go to work this morning. REPORTS OF DAMAGE FROM ALL SECTIONS In Highland Park, the Methodist church was struck by lightning. The steepe was rent from the roof, and part of the front portion of the building was blown in. Part of the roof and a portion of an end of the Baker street school was blown away. The large plate glass front of the Blue Ribbon Garage, on W. Broad street, was damaged in. The Swift Poster Company, Bevervance and Bevervance street, but it is made from wood of $114.00 per square foot. A fire first alarm. Bevervance Bevervance First Alarm. Bevervance Bevervance was once divided. ONE LIFE IS LOST IN GREATER FIELD COUNTY. In William Byrd Park, five boys took refuge under a large tree. The tree was struck by lightning and ahitwired, but none of the boys was hurt. In Chesterfield county a toll of one life was taken. The home of W. P. Miseff, at Chesterfield Place, two miles from Petersburg was struck by lightning, the bolt demolishing and passing through the rear of the building. Carroll Brown, sixteen years old, a nephew of Mr. Miseff, who was sitting in the hallway, was struck and instantly killed. Mr. Miseff and his wife were severely shocked, and physicians were summoned to attend Mr. Miseff. Oldtown Creek and Swift Creek over ran their banks and the Virginia Railway and Power Company was forced to transfer passengers at Swift Creek, the abutments of the bridge having been weakened by the water. A thunder clap heralded the storm shortly after 2 o'clock. At 2:36 it began to rain. Half an hour later Richmond settled down to watch the storm. It was such a storm as the city had not expected. WEATHER BUREAU RECORDS 2.21 INCHES OF RAIN. According to the weather bureau, it broke into its greatest intensity exactly at 3:48, when the rain cane down in slithering sheets and the wind rose to a roaring gale. At 4:04 o'clock 1.03 inches of rain had fallen, and it was still coming down. The total rainfall measured up to 5 o'clock was 2.21 inches, and it was still raining. The wind rose from forty-eight miles an hour at 3:35 o'clock to fifty-six miles an hour at 3:50 o'clock. Thereafter it blew. In the streets it softened to gentle breeze, and it was running at hurricane rate. It was not quite so hot as on Saturday, the thermometer reaching 95 degrees at noon. The minimum was 68 degrees and the mean temperature 84 degrees five degrees more than normal. Stung to bitter resentment by their severe losses, the merchants of East Main' and Franklin streets placed blame upon the city, alleging that the city had neglected properly shoed chickens Creek, and to provide for its needs immediately after the storm to discuss among themselves whether they could bring suit against the city for its alleged neglect. MAIN STREET MERCHANTS MAY SUE CITY OF RICHMOND That the damage was inflicted by the overflow from Shockoe Creek is beyond question. The water was without free way to the river, and it came down with such a rush that it walled up and backed from the mouth of the tunnel under Main street. It surged around Seventeenth street and sought its level in front of Main street station. It backed up in Fifteenth street until there was a deep waterway from Marshall to Brown. This morning the streets where the water stood are covered with silt and almy mud. Collars are not yet thoroughly clean. The water rose with thickly moistness. It receded with almost equal speed. But in an hour it had inflicted more damage than is done by the James River in one of its summer or spring time floods. It has made desistible three score勇 families. It has aroused bitter anger among the Main street merchants. It may mean financial loss to the city. --- VIRGINIA BAPTIST STATE SUN The Forty-seventh Annual session of Virginia Baptist Sunday School Convention will be held at Rhenzer Baptist Church, Richmond Va.

(Continued from 1st page) education for the Negro and further all real educators know that the object of education is to develop capacity and self-esteem. We believe in these things goes without saying. Shooting sky rockets in business hours is not the mark of a wise man. INTELLIGENT ARGUMENT DEMANDED. Intelligent argument is a business that excludes glittering generalities even though they be borrowed from the great men of the past. Yes, we believe in and contend for race leadership: it evidenced by the great number of intelligent men that have gone out from our schools, and who are regarded as leaders in their respective communities. (3) He is in error in stating that the General Association does not believe that books make men and men make books, and that books have played a conspicuous part in the freedom and present development of the race." Amonstrous statement is this! What does it mean? Is wisdom confined to Dr. Woods and his followers? A PLEA FOR INFORMATION. We buy and read books. Some of us are authors of books as well as pamphlets and poetry. Many of us are counted among customers of the National Baptist Publishing house. If Dr. Woods thinks that the men of the General Association do not know the people of this State and cult to lead the people of this State and Country to share his opinion. What does he mean? (4) He is in error in denying the fact that the Baptist State Convention stands committed to the doctrines and principles of cooperation with the white people in educational and missionary work, as I charged in my very last article. He admits that the National Baptist Convention is cooperating with the white people in its Home Mission Work. He admits that the National Baptist Convention and the White Baptists will jointly build at Mennonite Tenn. a Theological School for Colored preachers. He further admits that the Baptist State Convention holds membership in the said Mennonite Tenn. a Theological School for the members to fail to share in the actions of the body to which they are attached? A PECULIAR PREDICAMENT It is too plain that the National Baptist Convention has committed the Baptist State Convention to the principles of cooperation as I afore said and the only way for Dr. Woods to escape such commitment is to leave that Convention or play the hypocrite. It needs no school president to underline the principles of cooperation. Convention carried off some of our brothers on the distinctive Negro fad in Christian work in 1899, causing them to change the spirit and policy of the Baptist State Convention and now the said National Convention is bringing them back to the old paths and the good old way of joining hands with the White Baptist in our racial conflict. This just so it should be for no race or people have ever gone up solely by their own individual effort. No man can lift himself by his own boot straps. Nor can any race or people. ```markdown ``` COOPERATION THE WATCHWORD b The rise and progress of the nations Ancient and modern show that cooperation is the secret of permanent growth and advancement. China is the best argument for race exclusiveness, a national child at four thousand years old. (5) He is in error in shitting that the M. E. Church (South) has set its colored wing off to its self to control its race. He has set Correspondents' whistle contributing to its education missionary work. I would like for Dr. Woods to tell us where we find such a wing? Who are some of the Fishops of such wing, etc. Members of the M. E. Church South seems to be ignorant of such a broken wing so far as I can learn: We do know that it was on Negro membership and the slavery question on which the M. E. Church divided many years ago as did the White Baptist but this colored wing of the Southern M. E. Church is a stranger in a strange way. If he was in Negro membership, he is mistaken in believing that the white people have nothing to do with the institutions to which they make contributions. Such a course does not comport with common sense. DENIES THE STATEMENT. (5) He is in error in stating that our school property is not owned by us, but belong the Home Mission Society and that the Society controls them and we only do the "coining." Let me say that not a word of this is true. As I stated in previous article I now repeat that we own in this state nine first class academies, or secondary schools that not one of them was founded by the Home Mission Society: that we hold the property of these schools in our rights that the management of old schools should be held by us. Do we believe in owning our property? Let Virginia Seminary speak. It is well known that the mem. of the General Association through Dr. P. P. Morris bought the ground and built the school over which Dr. P. Morris gave permission. The present lawyer that Sienna Cummins has only yet New let me point Dr. Woods to those four grant pillars erected in my last article which he tried in vain to shake and finally fell prostrate before them to wit, that there is now no difference in two bodies; that all the Baptists of the country stand committed to cooperation, that we believe in owning and controlling our schools; that the man of both bodies are now working harmoniously together in our several local bodies, that these facts are grounds for unity among the Baptists of Virginia. So Dr. Woods. Yours in love. Z. D. LEWIS D. D. President of General Association of Va. Retire Especially to Purchase of Copyright on Jackson's Book, and to Acquisition of Methodist Church Property Out of Federal Funds. Extravagance on the part of Giles B. Jackson, president of the negro expedition, which closed Tuesday, in expending funds which came into his possession, as disburring officer of the association, was charged before Governor Stuart yesterday by William Miller and Dr. K. E. Jones, directors of the organization. Miller is also treasurer of the association, but under the by-law Jackson was designated and put under the firm. After hearing the protests made by Miller and Jones, the governor suggested that they place their charges in writing and present the same to state Accountant Frank W. Smith. Under the terms of the appropriation of $56,000 made by the United States Congress, the expenditure of this money was under the supervision of Governor Stuart. The governor named the state accountant to take charge of the matter for him. Miller and Jones later prepared a statement and placed it in the hand of state Accountant Frank W. Smith, who will deliver it to Mr. Smyth on his return to the city. The papers were sealed, and will not be opened until Mr. Smyth takes up the matter personally. BOUGHT COPYRIGHT OF JACK SONS BOOK Details of the alleged extravaganza on the part of Jackson in handling the funds were not made public, but among the principal items questioned are those relating to the purchase of the copyright and other matters connected with the publication of the 'History of the Negro American literature' purchase of the colored Methodist church property is also mentioned, together with the purchase of an automobile and the hire of vehicles. For the rights to publish Jackson's book, $5,000 was paid in cash and a note given for the remaining $7,000, while the purchase price of the church property was $8,000. Jackson's financial interest in the book combined with a value-amounting to less than $1,000, he said. The conference of Miller and Jones with the governor is the outgrowth of a break between a majority of the directors, headed by Jackson, and a minority, who oppose him. When Miller secured possession of a voucher book, used by Jackson in keeping track of his expenditures, two of the directors came face to face, but the next hatchet had been buried, and all was reported peaceful among the directors. Jackson has insisted that his actions have been open and above board in every particular, and that he is confident that a thorough investigation by the governor and Mrs. Smith will show that he has spent the money to the best possible advantage under the supervision of the state accountant. -Richmond TimesDispatch, July 30, 1915.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Brotherhood is the Test of Christianity Deacries Dr. R. E. Jones in Noted Sermon at St. Mark's M. E. Church —Editor of Southwestern Christian Advocate Supplies Pulpit at St. Mark's Church in Absence of Dr. Brooks—Some Business Enterprises—Metropolis Mourns a Death of Dr. M. C. B. Mason—Noted Chapman Had Many Friends in This City—The Nation Still Lynchings—Haynes Opens Beautiful Dining Room—General Notes. (Allega's National News Bureau, 263) Dr. R. M. Cowper, one of the strongest forces in Methodism, and the able editor of The Southern Christian Advocate, preached a strong sermon at St. Mark's M. M. church last Sunday, where he is supplying the pulp this month for Rev. W. H. Brooks who has called for Hailt. Dr. Jones in the course of his sermon declared that brotherhood was the test of Christianity and the reason that Christianity had not made any great advance, it was owing to the fact that the principles of brotherhood had not been imbbed. Dr. Jones said: "What the world needs today is brotherhood. Christianity has not made the progress it should make, because of the fact the principles of brotherhood have not been fully imbbed. Brotherhood is the test of Christianity, and the Christianity that does not recognize that all races and men are not one is not a real Christianity." Continuing Dr. Jones declared that the greatest European brotherhood had the result of not having grasped brotherhood in its true significance. Dr. Jones scored prejudice in this country and made a plea for the time when the spirit of brotherhood should prevail in this country and that all races should get the treatment that they deserve. Dr. Jones said that sermons are preached not only by ministers, but that the greatest sermons and tributes to Christianity, have been paid by artists who in their great paintings and poems have worked out a marvelous conception to the Christian ideal. He praised the great painting of the Madonna, by Raphael and said not one could look on that painting without being a better christian for it. Dr. Jones paid a lofty tribute to the Christian poets, whose poems have breathed that very spirit of christian love. "The greatest songs," declared Dr. Jones, "are ones by the Methodist leaders in our church hymns, but by christian poets who caught a spirit of the divine. Is our Methodist hymns there there are thirteen songs from the poet Cowper." The sermon was one of the most inspiring ever heard in this city and met a ready response from the large number of people present. Dr. Jones has long been a force in Methodism and is one of the greatest forces for good in the race. As the editor of The Southwestern Christian Advocate, he has his hand on the pulse of the church and knows the inner workings of the denomination as few do. He will be in this city throughout the month of August where he will look after the work of St. Mark's M. E. church during the absence of Dr. Brooks who is spending his vacation in Hattit. The editors in The Southwestern have taken high ground on matters pertaining to the race. In this case your correspondent last Sunday and arranged a convenient time when a conference can be arranged when the situation of this city relative to the negro will be discussed. Dr. Jones is anxious to study the sociological condition of the metro in the city. SOME BUSINESS ENTERPRISES From time to time your correspondent will call attention to the character of the business enterprise that are conducted by members of the race in this city. On his rounds of the city, your correspondent comes across many creditable enterprises that are conducted by members of the race. Most of these enterprises are conducted in Harlem, where the largest number of people reside in this city. Among the worthy movements your correspondent has last week of the week of the Charles Splendid store of Charles Splendid of 2297 Seventh Avenue. Your correspondent found a meat and well stocked store, replete with a line of everything that is known to the grocery trade. In addition to a complete line of groceries Mr. Stovall maintains a vegetable stand for the convenience of his customers. Mr. Stovall conducts his enterprise in a strictly business manner and as the result he is building up a trade that is making his shop known throughout the neighborhood. Mr. Stovall values his stock at $700, and is constantly adding to it as the need for the neighborhood augges. Mr. Stovall was born in Warrenton, VA, and before he engaged in the grocery business he engaged in real estate business assisted by Mrs. Stovall and his seventeen-year old son. He is well known in church circles and is a prominent Odd Fellow. METROPOLIS MOURNS DEATH OF DR. M. C. B. MASON. When the news reached this city last week of the death of Dr. M. C. B. Mason from the Johns Hopkins hospital, in Baltimore, many of the most prominent negroes of this city realized that one of the most noted men in the race had passed away. Since it was announced that Dr. Mason has been ill at the Johns Hopkins hospital, the many friends of the clergyman in this city were hoping that the great lecturer would win in the race with death. His loss, therefore is keenly felt and by his death the race has been robbed of one of its greatest forces for civic uplift. Dr. Mason was well known to the nation and as a lecturer he was without a peer before the American people. He attained an enfluent position in the Methodist church and for sixteen years was the corresponding secretary of the Presbyterian. Ald. Bosty, which made him one of the greatest prominent men of his church. He raised well as a churchman and he was in this sphere that he wielded the present good: This office as secretary of the Freedman's Aid Society made him a striking personality and a great figure in Methodism. Since he left this office several years ago, Dr. Mason has engaged in many activities, among them being national organizer of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and was the pastor of the Ebenezer M. E. church, one of the largest churches of the connection in Jacksonville, Fla. He had many friends in this church, who mourn the loss, and correspondent with knew Dr. Mason in an intimate manner and was impressed with his gift of speech and mind. Information reached this bureau that the treatment received by Dr. Mason at the hospital was very cruel. Your correspondent will make an immediate investigation. In the death of the noted preacher a great Roman has fallen. Get the race the nation is calling to the valent soldier the tribute he deserved. THE NATION IS STILL LYNCHING This nation is still engaged in that infamous pastime of lynching and up to this period with the year but half gone, the lynch record has already exceeded that of last year. The report sent out from Tuskegee a few days ago by Monroe has since thirty-four lynchings have occurred which shows an increase of over twelve up to this time last year. The causes for lynchings this year have been more trivial than at any other time, since Mr. Work has been keeping tab of the lynchings that have occurred in the nation. Negroes have been lynched for the most trivial things, sassaging, white man, refusing to get off the sidewalks, and also for hurting white men. Hertfordo lynchings for the "unial crime," but now it is not for the usual crime, but anything that is most trivial. On Saturday afternoon the evening newspapers of this city reported of the ghastly lynching of a negro in the public streets of Temple, Texas, of which a public holiday was made out of the affair. The report stated that men women and children gathered in the public square of the city as they passed the bodies of the young colored man a cheer wont up from the crowd as if it was the celebration of festival. Shame on a nation that goes on in this deadly and infamous game of lynching. HAYNES OPENING BEAUTIFUL DIN. ING ROOM Visitors to this city, who desire a real first class dining room where they can take their meals free from the cabaret environment will do well to visit the dining room of Hunter C. Haynes, at 146 West 13th street. Your correspondent visited the place last week and was impressed with the fine appointment and equipment he found. Mr. Haynes has gone to great care to fit up his dining room and it may be safe in saying that there is not a dining parlor in the country managed by the same man, but perfectly fitted up. A feature of the place is an automatic piano which plays much to the delight of the patrons. Mr. Haynes told your correspondent that only classical music will be played. In talking to your correspondent, Mr. Haynes said that the dining room will be conducted in strictly first class manner and no drinks of an intoxicating nature will be served. He said it was strictly for first class people and no other will be accommodated. Already the leading citizens of the city have been invited to Mr. Haynes and the venture bites fair to be a creditable one. The opening of this enterprise is a blessing to the community, for it may be safe in saying that it is one of the few dining rooms in this city that can really be styled as first class. AN INTERVIEW WITH MADAM WALKER Your correspondent a few days ago called on Madam M. Walker of Indianapolis, Ind., where she was on a visit to her daughter in this city. Your correspondent called as the beautiful residence of her daughter, Mrs Lella Robinson in West 136th street, and after a few moments of waiting had the pleasure of meeting her mother. Madam Walker is a remarkable woman in many respects and should be an inspiration to all. She is a fine example of the old adage that a "man or woman is the architect of its or her own fortune." Your correspondent found that Mrs. Walker was on her annual visit to her daughter, and that while in this section she was combining bushes and pleasure. She said that it was always a pleasure to visit New York and see what the race is doing along all lines. She told your correspondent that New York needed a real, first class hotel, and that she felt that a man with the proper experience and capital, would do well in this field. Incidents in the life of this remarkable woman were brought out which read like fiction and which easily scamp her as one of the most remarkable characters of the time. Here is a woman who a decade ago was a woman, and today is in head of an establishment that has made her name known from coast to coast. Her rise has been rapid and in the line of work of which she is engaged in she perhaps is formost. She is a good business woman of much executive ability. 'She has been unnailed by the col lege, but nature has helped her in a pronounced way. Your corresponds to meet Mrs. Walker face to face. GENERAL NOTES Rev.

Organizer Moore is still in this section rounding up the negro business men for the coming session of the National Negro Business League in Boston. He is meeting with much success and it is felt that the metro polls will send up a large delegation to this session. The news that has been sent out from Chicago to the effect that Dr. L. Moore is to return at Howard University will be received with much joy by the large number of loyal Howard man and women, especially those who have studied in his department. Dr Moore is doubtless the most expert educational authority in the race, and hundreds of young men and women who are making success as school teachers owe their inspiration to him. Fear is felt for the Rev. Dr. W. of Brooks, who for eighteen years has been the pastor of St. Mark's M. E. church, and who sailed for Haiti last year, where he is to spend his vacation. Your correspondent will keep on a lookout for anything that will cause alarm for his safety. Dr. Booker T. Washington will be in this section sometime soon, en route to Boston, the scene of the annual session of the business league. The country is waiting with interest for the educator's annual address. The correspondent will become a staff correspondent of the Southwestern Christian Advocate in a few weeks, just as soon as arrangements can be made. CLEVELAND G. ALLEN.

To The Richmond Planet, Richmond Va. S. A. Mr. Editor. Dear Sir:— We need leaders sir! We need a new school of leadership, and we need it badly. Sir, can you with your great influence among practical men; and one of the world's great prairies and logical masters, not help us some sir! I mean that are there no others in the world, just like you! And whether you cannot point some of them out to us sir! You in your own bath or rest your self by the boot strap and begin to pull. And although you have come to international fame and fortune with a pair of the cleaned hands of any man of our very remarkable use, what you have had made of face may be you have not yet put your smile on. And I want to say, sir, that your class and style of leadership is ideal in our mind. And we want more like you. Also we want to add to your collection more than just that our heart's gift with care and attention to our own life. And so that the people of your life are the greater acquaintance with you and your great record. As we lead you when we say that your new life will be a great experience, we are providing you with the world a model to be compared with that of your past life of admiration and accomplishment. And it is with great made to do. Not our conscience burns us when we encounter that you did it all over. And we are also reminded of what you so recently and by Jack Harms. When a Nervous fisty, he tightly alight. And I will add to this permitted that when he does anything else worth speaking of, it is alight. But my words now are in confusion after a repentance. And it is for this reason; I am not satisfied with this loose way in which we are allowing our race to drift. And always feel it my duty to move as many impediments from the paths of the following generation, as is possible, for me to And therefore, so it is known that I have no desire of going to Heaven a late. And the *priest* which there should be kept there in a royal palace where everything of the time can be served to him by some magic scheme and be beaten on milk and honey for a century without seeing another, while he suffers with inflection until it turns to chrome paint, and yet he continues there given him. As I am now bounded that that which was not kept there and his creature there was not kept there and his creature there that truth would be delivered to him and that truth would be delivered to him until the end of the time. And then they hone in family and to be told that there was a battle which even he conceived to fight himself in which which had been to man and came down here. Loved, bitter, bitter and died the death of him. And it was for the love of him. And all of the blood and bloodshed. Loved himself up there without me having ever come for him. And that teacher was the first that he felt love him who gave us all things. And the saying is to have the rest of your soul on the path to love an organization. Then I love God alone all things and you I love me do my part. Because I do not do without you. And I do not wish to try. So it is how much good we can do for our selves and our life. I follow not hear the way for them to run proper. And not yet with the one who dare to talk to them. To me the threat is the most personal thought of those a man. First to glorify God as my only supernatural recognition others as my owns and to protect the women and children who show up to for protection. Then set I am born to the cow when I know that those little women who run to the door to see me go and to validate me as their capital shall one day leave to the tatter that I was not then enough to take into my life. Violence protest against the wrath which I know to behead I must be." And what other pleasure has a parent to defend his little parish. Then gentleness, some of its old and care not much for the problem of our personal life. But it is indispensable duty to make the childhood of the following generation as much like a dream as it is possible. That the fires of hope may burn high in their imaginations while the comfortable mother has time and abilities to answer their many curious questions about this world and its duties. I also feel sorry when I see their father going there and coming here in search of means to keep them cheerful and happy. When a mother leaving her home through absolute need before doing her family duties to each and every soul in the household and the last child which is old enough is off to school, look, and feel off to school, look, and feeling spiking spick and spain in every possible way. And that each little boy or girl hops some day to become not only a leader in society but to give to the world; some new idea something which will make the world better, and brighter. Something to cheer up the old while creating new possibilities for the young. And that the bible may not be dryly preached to those who are hungry and cold; and are more in need of something to do to earn a respectable life: that our women can actually dress according to the variation of their stature, and complexion whereby they may appear to the scientific eye a garden of flowers well cultivated and set. Then let our young son on such occasions belong well groomed them, self-stand to one side, if not actually escorting; and admire the beauty variety of their race. What do we care if a well groomed good mannequin is should receive an inviting look from some equally well bred girl. And although neither is quite out of school, they are full of updote patches which will also brighten the fire of their illuminous imaginations as they chat over the comparative greatness of this or that personage whose biography is so fresh upon their minds. And in case of this bright young man being requested to spend a day at the house of his young lady, he may be as interesting to father and mother with the rest of the family as with the girl herself. And how pleasant it must be when the curious mother of this same girl inquires from him what his future vacation should be, he could respond knowingly and scientifically what it might be; from a large field of social endeavors. And when the mother suggests that he was not of the same ideas for his future as some other young gentleman whom she know (this with a strong hint that somebody else in the family then whichbien him too he could properly show her that his was a chosen vacation which appeared greatly to his personal nature. And as it was a noeelful one in so society he had take it up himself willing to be a social slave to the extent of giving it to the very best to be had in a suit like, as yet what that his selection was made from a large field of feesibilities. But but this cannot be well brought out from a carefulfall of students with limited education and with much less go portunity when leaving school. Thus I say sarcastically that the scope of education and other advantages should be as wide as the scope of society and so safe to the abduction of the humble student as laws and power of a great government of free man can make it. Thus I think no way a nonmurderist or a plotter artist. I am a demon dancer in a gay feet up or from my head down. I believe that every man should be given about a few chances in life as possible to save. And if one presses either good or bad, give him all the honors merit or condemnation deserved by such act. And I feel very sure that when we can train the young Negro without limiting his higher ambitions reducing his love for society as one body of friendly rivals, who look to him as every one else, to give us something new or greatly improved upon the old, the disgust at the word Negro will soon disarm. And if we really the superiors within the school must in an impure way hold the title. But we must think for it upon equal terms. The we would need them to rise from the field operators to defend those of the sole. We want the professions to be higher and we want more motion between the races with more democracy for all. I declare in competition, and dis- cover the reward who will not play the game, fair or will grow rather rather than give a yellow a chance for some of his money when it is justed an ample stake and other things. And if a good sport is down and out why gave him a prize and send him down the line of contest with the little fellow until he has collected himself a bat. Thus we do not only want more commercial information given to the children in school but we want entire ring plays, play and chemistry problems, etc. We want a better choice of practice in the field. Likewise a more liberal consideration in the medical jurisdiction, and similar fields of men labor with better prices for social activity. We also want more comfortably for all. And instead of the railroads doing away with what little colored representation they have got, let them think about giving the easy more and better representation in other lines, when they probably deserve it. The negro should try their hand at manufacturing every necessary thing for society. And then hunt for a market for their goods. It is not good enough that they should continue in the cotton patch and in the lumber came only. He must learn to compete with the great and with the small, in all walks of life. Paper is about one of the easiest things of all to manufacture; and at the German was manufacturing about two-thirds of all the paper used in the world. Cotton is not only one of the most useful textiles, but in an invaluable material in medicine and in the greatest combustibles. And while you are growing the wood, you should also learn to manufacture the many different things from it and give them to the world in a finished style. Hats, shoes, gloves and many other similar necessary articles are very easy to manufacture and there is always a demand for them. Glassware and hardware are simple things to produce. And there are no end to their demand. Furniture could be easily produced, and every class of people would patronize the good and economical manufacturers. But, when one business is started the other must also begin with it, to not let either fall through. Then there are the commission merchants whose business is one of extreme simplicity. But it is surprising how few colored men will go into it. It is much easier than carrying a large So do the alone and I shall show the tree which you are standing behind as a serial for you to so come where else, as I have a grape on that ground. I will not hurt you if you will walk away like men and women and quit your little meanness, but you begin a field. I will sit here in Brazil and set the lore on you from every side. But I am not here to hurt you in self defense or rather in defense of those whom I bet you to be more useful to. So believe me that I mean to help all of you to better help yourselves, and I shall take many of your faults upon myself when I know that you wish to do better and are repentant of your little mean tricks. I do not call my self a salut, but I have tried to be and finding it a failure. I have promised my God to do my best to help others who are better than I am. So I must say again to the editor of the Planet, as to his many good readers, that we want more good and practical leaders to work in the different fields of practical work. I do not mean proxies and practical leaders just yet, but all other kind to help us to get money to pay the former for the work which they are doing now on such small wages which in many cases they never receive. Thus many of these become advertise as greater humbugs than their laymen. Organization and general cooperation along practical lines in every walk of life. I want more attention paid to the colored newspapers to stir with and let the colored press give you better service for your money or get out of business. And you all should do more advertising in and circulating of their papers. It seems that Mr. Troter and his crowd are getting along fine, only you all should give him a boost once in awake. So Mr. Mitchell, we are wondering if there are many others in the world like you! And if so, let them go up to the light at once. And as I think that this should be enough until I hear from you all again, I beg to say that I am for absolute social equality to all under similar conditions and general progress with union between the races if possible. And if not then progress anyway, with social equality. You're very respectfully, I. A. MOORE, Bahia, Brazil. Tells Coroner's Jury He Would Not Open Bridge Until Ship Was Righted—Saw Boat Listing. The German advance against Riga, the great seaport in Russian Courland and government seat of that province, which has been steadily rolling back the Muscovite defending forces, has been effectually checked by Russian warships. This reverse for the German arms is related in the official communication issued by the general staff. The invaders were within nineteen miles of their goal, when the naval guns found their positions and forged them to the defensive. The official statement also declares that the German advance south of Plutusk, a small town north of Warsaw, has been held up by Russian counter attacks, but it admits at the same time that the enemy has reached the advance positions of the great fortress of Novo Georgievsk, twenty miles northwest of Warsaw, and that the siege of that position has begun. Assaults against the advance positions of Ivangorod have been repulsed, and the terrible battle along the Bug and Włoprz rivers has not yet reached a decisive stage. --- Germania In Great Flanking Movement London, July 7. The magnitude of the German enveloping movement in the eastern field now is absorbing the attention of the British officials and public. The latest reports show that General von Bukowsky force of cavalry, 30,000 strong, has turned southward from Riga and is within eighty miles of the railway connecting Petrograd with Warsaw. In this way the northern German line is closing in on the main northern railway artery to the Russian capital, while the southern army similarly is approaching the main southern artery running to Odessa. There has been a clean sweep from the Russian war office of the men responsible for the shortage in ammunition, according to the correspondent, at Petrograd of the "Bally Mall." The correspondent reports the existence in the Russian capital of more cheerful feeling at the courageous resistance which the Russian armies are making to the Austro-German advance. He says authorities admit that no large Russian counter offensive is possible until the mobilization of industry bears fruit in a largely increased supply of necessities. RAID ITALY'S COAST Ancona Attacked by Hostile Air and Sea Craft. Austrian warship and torpedo planes made a collision, attack on the Italian coast in the Ancona region from sea and air. A squadron consisting of a cruiser and four torpedo boats is believed to have come from the Austrian naval base at Pola, nearly miles north of Ancona. Appearing off the coast shortly after dawn, the cruiser opened fire from a position three miles off upon the railroad line between Fano and Senigallia, north of Ancona. The torpedo boats served as guards to prevent an attack by an Italian submarine. While the railroad was being bombed several Austrian hydroplanes flew southward to Ancona. Rising above that city, the aviators dropped a number of bombs. The official announcement of the Austrian raid says that only slight damage was done. Austria is resorting to every means to disguise her defeat along the Isonzo river, which has cost her in killed, wounded, and prisoners more than 2,000 men. BRITISH LOST 330.995 MEN Figures for Army Are 321,880, and for Navy, 9106. The casualties in the British army and navy have reached a total of 330,995, according to a printed statement issued by Premier Asquith. The total naval casualties up to July 20 were 9106 and the military casualties to July 18 were 321,898. The naval losses were divided as follows: - Officers killed, 490; wounded, 87; - missing, 29; men killed, 7430; wounded, 757; missing, 274. Submarine Bink1 Submarine Submarine Sinks Submarine. The French submarine Mariotte was destroyed by a German submarine on July 26 in the narrows of the ardanelles, according to a dispatch from Constantinople to the Mitten Zeitung. Thirty-one members of the French submarine's crew was captured. Child Strangled by Swing. Catching his neck in the rope of a swing, Ira Carroll, the small son of Mrs. Howard Carroll, of Lancastar, Fe. was strangled to death. TEUTONS WIN IN GALICIA Take Important Town Between Prima mysl and Lemberg. Official announcement was made at army headquarters in Berlin that the Austro-German forces operating in Gaea Hcta had captured the town of Mosclaka. The official statement reads: "Most of Stavil Gadman troops have stormed the village of Dankes and taken 1660 prisoners. The positions recently won southeast and east of the Mariamko-Kovno road were repeatedly attacked by a strong force of the enemy, which had no success. Our troops advanced on the Lipowe-Kalwarya front, pressed back the Russian line and captured the Russian advanced trenches. "On the river Oryac our attacking troops stormed and took the village of Gudnorozcze, southeast of Chorzetten and Cserwongora and also the bridges there, as well as the bridges east, of this place. "The booty taken at this place amounts to 365 Russian prisoners. Attacks by the enemy against the point at which we broke through north of Bollmow failed. The Russian forces south of the Przemysl-Lomberg railway have been forced to retreat. The troops of General von Der Marwits took Moscatika. The right-wing of the army of General von Llansingen stormed the height east of Zeke). Our cavalry reached the district south of Mariampol.

The official number of bodies re- covered from the steamer Eastland at Chicago as given by Coroner Hoff- mann, was 817. The carefully checked list of the missing prepared by the Western Electric Company contain 384 names and was slowly being increased. This brings the approximate loss of life to 1201. Divers engaged in rescue work re- ported to Coroner Hoffmann that they believed there were about 200 bodies still in the hull, many of which are in such a position they cannot be taken out until the vessel is raised. Plans for raising the steamer are all complete. When wrecking dredges have placed the steamer on its keel the hull will be pumped out and a careful search made for more bodies. It will take several days to raise the steamer. Dynamite will then be used in the river bed to release those bodies which may be stuck in the mud. The city council, at a special meeting decided to investigate the disaster. The resolution delegated the committee on harbors, wharves and ridges to conduct the inquiry. The council also passed resolutions calling upon the citizens to contribute to the extent of their means to a relief fund. The fund has passed the $150,000 mark. The alderman in another resolution asked Secretary of Commerce Redfield to name a special commission to conduct the government investigation of the Eastland. The first funeral services for the Eastland victims took place on Monday, when more than 300 cortegees passed, through the streets of the city. Arrangements have been made to hold services for some of the various victims every day of this week. In several instances the same service was said over two or three victims, members of the same family. Various theories as to what caused the Eastland to turn over were discussed, but without prospect of a definite explanation being reached until the official inquiries to be taken are finished. The most discussed theories are four: That the boat was overloaded; that she was not properly ballasted; that a tug that made fast to warp the Eastland from the docks started pulling too soon; that congestion of passengers rushing to the port side, attracted by some passing sensation tipped the steamer over. Under miltay skies, 700 women and children wended their way to the Clark street dock to fill five large lake steamers with holiday mirth in a trip to Michigan City. The steamer Eastland was the first to be loaded. Rain began to fall as the wharf superintendents lifted the gang planks from the Eastland, declaring that the government limit of 2500 passengers had been reached. White dresses pooped from raincoats along the shore rail as those on board waved goodbye to friends on shore waiting to board the steamer Theodore Roosevelt and other vessels. Then the passengers awarded to the left side of the ship, as the other steamers drew up the river towards the wharf. A tug was hitched to the Eastland, ropes were ordered cast off and the steamer's engines began to hum. The Eastland had not budged, however. Instead the heavily laden ship wavered sidewise, leaning first towards the river bank. The lurch was so startling that many passengers joined the large concours already on the river side of the decks. Sorems from passengers attracted the attention of fellow excursionists on the dock awaiting the next steamer. Wharfmen and pickleclocks soon lined the edge of the embankment, reaching out helplessly towards the wavering steamer. For nearly five minutes the ship turned before it finally dived under the swift current of the river, which swowed to the drainage canal system. Slows from the lake. During the mighty turning of the ship, with its cargo of humanity, lifeboats, chairs and other loose appurtenances on the decks slipped down the sloping floors, crushing the passengers towards the ripping waters. Then there was a plunge with a sight of air escaping from the hold, mitigated with crying of children and children of women, and the ship was on the bottom of the river, coating hundreds of living creatures to the water. Being calm, entangled with clothing and bummer, and did not risk, but hundreds came to the surmiser, entangled clothing and other objects. These go shores throw out ropes and clogged in those who could hold these life lines. Employees of construction firms along the river throw wrenches, chicken coope, and other floatable things into the current, but most of these were swept away by the stream, which runs five miles an hour. Books put out, tugs rushed to the scene with shrieking whistles and Some When One of Victims Is Being Dragged Out.

Therefore, no text can be extracted from this image. many men snatched off coats and shoes and swung into the river to aid the drowning. With thousands of sectators ready to aid and the wharf within grasp, hundreds went to death, despite every effort at rescue. One mother grasped her two children in her arms as she slipped from the steamer into the water. One child was torn from her, but she and the other were saved. Fathom were drowned after sliding their wives and children to safety. One man was seen to cling to a spike in the side of the wharf while two women and three children stepped up on his body as on a ladder of safety. He fell exhausted into the river as the last one of the five reached the pier. Instances of heroism were almost as numerous as the number of persons on the scene. Boats as soon as full took rescued passengers to the wharf or to the steamer Theodore Roosevelt, which was tied up opposite the Eastland. U-BOAT BAGS 9 TRAWLERS German Submarine Makes Sudden Rald and Sinks Fishing Craft Apparently determined to demoralize the British fish supply as much as possible, two German submarines have appeared suddenly among the fishing fleet off the north coast of Scotland and by shell fire have sunk nine trawlers. In each case, in spite of a vigorous shell fire from the German boats, the crews of the fishermen escaped without injury, although the men of the Honora and the crew of the Sutton drifted in their open boats for forty and forty-five hours respectively before being picked up. All the men were handed safely. Many other fishing vessels have been forced to take refuge in northern harbors. LOSES LIFE SAVING THREE Campbell Vost, of Norrlistown, Drowng After Rescue. Campbell Vost, 21 years old, of Norrlistown, Pa. lost his life after rescuing three persons from drowning. Yost succeeded in getting them to the bank of the creek, but sank after they had landed. Efforts to recover the body were futile. Those who were rescued refused to give their names, but at Pearlstein's boarding house, where they are staying, it is said they were Mary Green, Joseph Feldman and Harry Cohen, the last a boy of ten, all of Philadelphia. STEEL EARNINGS JUMP Show an Increase of Over 100 Per Cent for Same Period Last Year The net earnings of the United States Steel Corporation in the three months ended June 30, 1915, totaled $27,950,655, as against $12,457,809 in the last previous quarter, according to the quarterly statement.

Attempt to Blow Up Iron Plant. An attempt to wreck the Janson Steel & Iron Co. was made at Columbia, Pa. A bomb was exploded in the boiler room and rocked the building, but little damage was done.

THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA U.S.WILL UPHOLD FREEDOM OF SEAS Further Attacks Will Be Regarded as "Deliberately Unfriendly," Berlin is Firmly informed. The text of the American note on submarine warfare, presented at Berlin by Ambassador Gerard, was made public in Washington. It reveals that the imperial government has been informed it is the intention of the United States to regard as "deliberately unfriendly" any repetition by the commanders of German naval vessels of acts in contravention of American rights. The United States announces that it will continue to contend for the freedom of the seas, "from whatever quarter violated, without compromise and at any cost." In official and diplomatic quarters the communication was received as the strongest and most emphatic pronouncement that has come from the Washington government since the beginning of its correspondence with the belligerents of Europe. President Wilson has returned to Cornish, N. H., to await developments. On the assumption that Germany has already admitted the illegality of her practices by attempting to justify them as against Great Britain, the United States in the new note expresses the belief that Germany will no longer "refrain from disavowing the wanton act of its naval commander in sinking the Lusitania or from offering reparation for the American lives lost, so far as reparation can be made for a needless destruction of human life by an illegal act." Referring to the German government's expression of hope in its last note that the freedom of the seas may be established in some measure before the end of the present war, the United States declares that this object can be accomplished, and invites the practical cooperation of the imperial government. The American government adds, however, that it "holds itself ready at any time to act as the common friend who may be privileged to suggest a way" to assist in establishing the freedom of the seas. At the outset, the German note of July 8 is declared "very unsatisfactory, because it fails to meet the real differences between the two governments and indicates no way in which the accepted principles of law and humanity may be applied in the grave matter in controversy, but proposes on the contrary, arrangements for a partial suspension of those principles which virtually set them aside." Contending that "the defense of an act, as retaliatory is an admission that it is illegal," the American government then argues that it cannot discuss actions of Great Britain with Germany and must regard as "irrelevant" in the present negotiations the conduct of other belligerents. "Ilegal and inhuman acts," says the note, "however justifiable they may be thought against an enemy who is believed to have acted in contravention of law and humanity are manifestly indestructible when they do privo neutrals of their acknowledged rights, particularly when they violate the right of life itself." Pointing out that a bishopger should give up its measures of retaliation if unable to conduct them "without injuring the lives of non-trailers" the note declares that persecution in such measures under the civil circumstances would constitute an unpardonable offense against the sovereignty of the neutral nation affected. The United States, it is further ascerted, is "not unmindful of the extraordinary conditions" created by the present war and is "ready to make every reasonable allowance for those novel and unexpected aspects of war at sea," but cannot consent "to abate any essential or fundamental right of the people because of a mere alteration of circumstance." The Apostolic Delegate at Constantinople has succeeded in conveying to the Vatican in Rome confidential information that the forcing of the Dardanelles by the Franco-British forces is inevitable and that the Turks are determined to massacre all Christians when the allies occupy Constantinople, which will probably razed to the ground. The apostolic delegate urges Pope Benedict to use his influence to prevent the massacre and suggests that arrangements be made to intern Christians in Asia Minor in order to escape death, which otherwise is invitable. The pope has appealed to the two kaisers to have the threatened massacre averted. Within twenty-four hours after the German foreign office had received President Wilson's latest note on submarine warfare, a German submarine torpedoed and sank the American steamship Leelanaw off the northwest coast of Scotland. Her crew was landed at Kirkwall, Scotland. The Leelanaw was torpedoed on Sunday morning while bound from Archangel, Russia, to Belfast, Ireland, with a cargo of flax. Before she went to the bottom the crew took to the boats under direction of Captain Dalk. The identity of the submarine that sank the Leelanaw has not yet been determined. Reports from Kirkwall say that the Leelanaw was approached Sunday --- Do You Want an Umbrella? Well, here it is. The Hull Bros. Umbrella Company will guarantee them.

"Certain French attacks exist only in the German imagination, such as the night attack among the Dunes on the night of June 11-12. Patrols from the Zouaves had taken an observation post from the enemy, and on the following night the Germans kept firing rockets and letting off volleys of infantry fire without any motive whatsoever. "This showed their extreme nervousness from the commanders down. Our attacks have continued to make progress around Souches (north of Arras), in the neighborhood of 'the Labyrinth' and near Hebatere. The only indication of our success contained in the German statements is the stereotyped expression, 'the fighting continues.'

Louisville Times Talks Touchingly of "Our Colored People" for Whom the Law Was Made. In the Monday afternoon Times an article appeared headed "Negotiation Law Starts Race War." This was so striking that The News had to sit up and take notice, for did not the who City Fathers, in fraternity and passing this law say that it was to keep down friction and build up a better feeling between the races? Has not each court which has held the law constitutional said it was a good law because it kept down friction between the races. How then, could such an upifting and beneficial law start a race war? It was a puzzle. The Times further in the article went on to tell that the block was equally divided between the races and that one Peters had moved in a house which made the square "white." Without provocation "Mr. Peters" was knocked unconscious, etc., by a "Big Black." etc. Unwilling to believe The Times on a stack of tables where colored people are concerned, The News sent its own representative to the scene with the injunction to get the facts and not to color them a bit. After questioning a number of residents the reporter found that Mr. and Mrs. John Peters are not looked on as the best people in the world, neither are they representative of their white neighbors, in fact the reporter was informed that they were "ornery" whatever that is. At any rate, "Mr. Peters," saw a boy, not a "big black," as The Times said, standing under a tree on the street in front of his house and not in his yard, as the veracious Times stated, "Mr. Peters" cursed the boy; it is alleged, and ordered him on. The boy being of a later generation, which refuses to be cursed and stamped at the voice and face of a white man, resented "Mr. Peters" "language and hit" "Mr. Peters" on on the hail" "Mr. Peters" on so surprised that he went down and rose no more until the boy had disappeared. "Mr. Peters" was not horses combat entirely, but he was so taken aback by being smitten by a Homme that they had to take him back in the house and put cold water on his "hail." The News' man found no evidence that this scrap was caused by the segregation law only to the extent that this law has made ignorant, thoughtless white people feel they can "rough it over" colored people without fear. It has increased the growing disregard of colored men's rights and every white upstart thinks he may do at will to a colored man whatever his pleasure dictates. The News man did find that before the segregation law, the races in this square lived peacefully and neighborly. There was no trouble and each hold the other in respect. But since then the situation is tense and members of each race go about with chips on their shoulders. The races were equally divided as to residence, when a colored family recently moved out. The house which is owned by Mr. Stephen Bell, a well known member of the race, was immediately rented by about twelve whites of the square, who installed "Mr. and Mrs. Peters" in it. This they figured would make 1700's Dumontil a white square forever and ever, amen. The article as it appeared in The Times contained little of truth, as is always the case with the white press when colored people are concerned. But an editorial on the matter in Tuesday's paper is laugh-provoking. Among other things the Times says: with a face as solemn as an as: "It had been hoped by the promotors of the segregation ordinance that the Louisville negro would appreciate the advantages to his race which the measure comprehends. it is still believed that the better class of negroes be educated and industrious negroes who have genuine faith in the destiny of their race, regard Louisville's segregation ordinance as a wise and just law. The Times does not believe that the attack upon Mr. Peters will be approved by the law-abiding negroes of this city, or that it may be taken as a manifestation of the temper of the better element of our colored people." The colored people if Louisville appreciate the advantages of the law to the extent that they have taken it through the Kentucky, courts and will take it to the Supreme Court of the United States. The law abiding members of the race believe in observing the law, but hitting a white man on the "hair" who is trying to "rough it over you" is justifiable. Peters nor his assistant cared nothing about the segregation law in this case. Mr. Peters is no hero—it's just a case of a white man meeting a black man who "took up for himself." But conditions in Dumontill street do prove that the segregation law does increase racial feeling and strife and mutual distrust as contended by the opponents of the law.—Lexington, Mr. Weekly News.

PUBLICITY FOR SCHOOL NEEDS Frank publicity in securing the cooperation of the community in the work of the schools is urged by W. E. Deffenbaugh, of the U. S. Bureau of Education, in a report on "School Progress in the Smaller Cities," just issued. "School boards that are managing the schools ably and honestly do not fear to turn on the searchlight," declares Mr. Deffenbaugh. "The sentiment is growing among school boards that the public should know how its money is expended. In the most progressive schools, the board and the superintendent are presenting facts to the people either in printed reports; in newspaper articles, or by both. "Some schoolmen, however, object to furnishing the newspapers with school information; on the ground that they are thereby advertising themselves. As superintendent who was complaining about lack of interest replied that he did not believe in advertising himself. He failed to erase the idea that school news is no for the purpose of boosting a superintendent; besides being legitimate news, it calls attention to the needs of the work of the school so that the school may become more efficient. "In several cities, as Fredonia, Kans., there is an educational issue of the local paper. In some other cities there are daily school news notes. On the whole, the public is becoming better informed regarding the schools than it was a few years ago. The tendency is toward greater publicity by means of printed reports and newspaper articles. "That the schools can work to advantage through the women's civic improvement clubs and through parent teacher associations has been thoroughly demonstrated in many of the smaller cities. Such clubs are often instrumental in the introduction of kindergartens, manual training and domestic schools. The superintendent of one school utilized the women's clubs of the city by asking that each club give some consideration to the question, 'What can be done to improve the efficiency of your schools?' Each club discussed the question and sent a representative to present to the teachers the ideas of the club. In the opinion of the superintendent of schools in that city, the plan aroused interest among the women of the city in better schools.
