NET. EDITOR MITCHELL TRAVELS ON THE WAY TO SEATTLE—A LIGHT HOUSE KEEPER'S STORY —POKER AND OTHER GAMES DESTINATION REACHED AT LAST. I strolled about the decks after a white and finally sat down in one of the deck chairs to read a newspaper. I was approached by a white gentle- man and we engaged in conversation. I found out that he was a light-house keeper in Alaska, and that he was on a leave of absence. He was going to Seattle, being in the employ of the United States government. He told me about some of the peculiarities of Alaska. He was light-house keeper at Ketchikan, Alaska, Lincoln Rock Sta- tion. For months, he resides there without seeing a human being. .

Madam Helena Paderewski, wife of the famous pianist, has addressed a letter to Dr. Booker T. Washington of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, making an appeal for the Polish victims of the European War. The letter is sent to the press with the thought that there may be those among the Negro people who may feel disposed to respond to Madam Paderewski's appeal. An organization known as the Polish Victims' Relief Fund has been organized, with headquarters in Acellan Building, 33 West 42nd St., New York City. Madam Paderewski's letter follows: New York, October 26, 1915. My dear Mr. Washington: I am writing you a very personal letter on a subject that is close to my heart and I know the message it carries will find a response in your generous sympathy. It is with great pleasure that I recall our meeting, some years ago, and I have watched the success or your work among your people with sincere satisfaction, for I have always been an advocate of the principles for which you stand, the uplift of the colored race. It is because I know you have ever directed your broad influence towards the most worthy causes that I am asking you in the name of the starving babies and their helpless mothers to tell your people that we need them in our work of sending food and medicine to Poland. We need, my dear Sir, even the smallest contribution that your beloved followers may offer, and I beg of you to make an appeal to your people. Tell them, for they may not all know as well as you, yourself, that it was a Pole-Kosciusko—who, in addition to fighting for American liberty, gave that which he needed himself to help the colored race. As you will recall, after refusing the grant of land offered him in recognition of his service to the Revolution, he returned to Pole, not wishing to accept a reward for doing what he considered a sublime duty to those in need. Later, after eight years, when he again visited America, he was given a pension as General in the American Army. With the back pay during his absence, the sum amounted to about $15,000.00. Although poor him, he felt deep compassion for the neglected colored children of the slave community, him, he established the first school in America devoted exclusively to the education of the colored youth. I am sure you know the story in all its details, but I desire the colored people of America to know that today the descendants of the man who—unasked—added them, plead for a crust or bread, a apoptoal of milk for the hungry children. Tell them this and God will bless and prosper you in your telling and they in the grazing. Do not think that all mannives are unloved—five cents may save a life. I am needing Mr. Paderewski's appeal but conditions, today, are worse than when it was written. Will you help Poland? Will you do it now? Please reply to Hotel Gotham. You're in work for humanity.

Emily Cappa, colored, twenty-two years old, was arrested yesterday by Detective Sergente Bailey and Wiltshire, and Policeman Dutton, charged with alding and abetting one Lucy Ruffin Hunt in defrauding the Metro-politan Life Insurance Company of $188, the amount of a policy carried on the life of Emily Cappa. The money, it is claimed, to the Hunt. It is alleged that a death certificate was produced showing that Emily was dead. Now this Emily is not dead, as the records at the First Police Station show. The presence of Emily in person behind the bars is of a corroborative nature. She is being hold for examination in Police Court this morning. The arrest of Emily follows the investigation of the grand jury in the Hustings Court of alleged fraudulent transactions in which the Metropolitan asserts it was victimized. Lucy Ruffin Hunt was indicted twice on similar charges. One indictment named Dr. J. A. Lewis, colored physician on the Street, co-defendant. It allows that Lucy-Ruffin collected $188.10, the proceeds of a life insurance policy on the life of one Emily Cappa, said to be the same one arrested yesterday, and that Dr. Lewis signed the death certificate. The Hunt woman was also indicted for collecting $84.60, the proceeds of a policy on the life of one John Cappus, in which she was named as beneficary. The attorney for the insurer, who company says that Lucy produced the body of a man killed in a railroad wreck, which was represented to be that of John Cappus. John Cappus is initially held in custody, while Hike the policy was carried, appeared as a witness before the grand jury. Bunny-Cappus was a negative from justice at the time the grand jury returned the indictments against the Hunt woman and Dr. Lewis—Times. Deposit—Nov. 6, 1978. REV. DR. T. J. KING INSTALLED REV. DR.

His sermon created a profound impression and he arose to flights of genuine eloquence during his remarks. His references to his own experiences with Fifth Street Baptist Church, over which congregation, he had presided for so many years, were pathetic and impressive. He declared that he had found the church $12,000 in debt when he first took charge and that it was reduced to about $2,500 when he left the church. Solo was sung by Mr. S. L. Johnson in a manner to awaken favorable comment throughout the congregation. The collection was lifted by Deacon J. B, Page and Deacon Samuel P. Brown.

His remarks made a profound impression. Brother J. W. Johnson and Brother Wise Ellis lifted the collection. Rey. W. F. Graham. D. D. related his experiences, and those of his associates in their great sight in Philadelphia against the photophy, "The Birth of a Nation."

At a largely attended meeting of the members of the Compton Street Baptist Church, hear on Thursday evening, October 28, at the church the long agitated question of whether the pastor, Rev. Sidney W. Smith, would continue to occupy that position was settled for good, at least as far as the members are concerned. The Deacon Board submitted a report that after November 30th, 1916, his services would no longer be required and the board was instructed by vote of all present to the pulpit without after that date. A peculiar feature, yet an annual one, was that Rev. Smith acted as moderator and was compelled to put the motion that put himself out of the job as pastor after November 30, instant, and the onboarding motion was unanimously carried with a rising vote. Rev. Smith has been pastor of the church for the past ten years, but for several years his work has not been satisfactory and for the welfare and progress in the future of the church the deacon board advocated a pastoral change which recommendation was unanimously adopted at last Thursday's meeting. Rev. Smith, before coming to this city, was well known in and around Princeton, N. J., having at one time performed pastoral duties there and in Hartford, Conn., from which place he came to this city. EUGENE A. WATSON. DR. JACKSON AND HIS CROWS. They are telling one on Mr. William Ellis, Jr. Dr. J. E. Jackson, Pharmacist, went hunting and killed two crowns, which he peacefully designated as "didappers." One was young and the other was old and tough. Some of Dr. Jackson's friends figured the age of the elder crow at fifty years. Sallino it to say that Dr. Jackson gave Mr. Ellis one of the birds wrapped up in paper. All he knew was that it was a bird for Sunday's meal. He carried it home and home-folks baked it Mr. Ellis said that he ate fish and that he did not try to eat that crow. But Pharmacist Jackson made he did try the crow and the only reason he did not eat it was because he couldn't. Mr. Ellis called up Pharmacist Jackson, and he was not in a good humor when he chipped him with trying to heal him. Dr. Jackson saw he did feel him. Mr. Ellis says he didn't "And there ye are!" As for Dr. Jackson, his crew was it was young and tender, and being properly cooked, adhered an appetizing meal. Puffs around here say they do not want any of Dr. Jackson's crowns, be they young or old. Mr. Ellis lied his grenues and his consciousness. Mr. Ellis does not, some people say, because of that crow, and he does not particularly up to the occasion of Dr. Jackson. DR. WASHINGTON ILLIN NEWYORK GIRLAT EDUCATOR SUFFERS NEX YOU BREAKDOWN—PROSPER CAUSES CEASELESS "GRIND"—A CENTRAL FIGURE GIRLAT LEADER. . ____. New York, Nov. 10.—Suffering from a nervous breakdown, Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee Institute, is confined today in St. Luke's Hospital. Only his wife, his secretary and William G. Willcox, a trustee of the institute, have been allowed to see him. "Dr. Washington has been suffering from severe headaches for more than a month," said Dr. W. A. Bastedo. "There is a noticeable hardening of the arteries and he is extremely nervous. He is prone to worry under the strain of work, and while there is nothing to indicate that he is mentally unbalanced, he is in no shape to go back to Tunkegee." GIBSON'S NEW STANDARD THEATRE IN PHILADELPHIA The repainting and decorating of Gibson's New Standard Theatre, South Street near 12th, which has taken several months, is now practically completed. Warm, bright color now beautifies the interior. The decorations are entirely new, being done by Tartiano, an Italian artist. The general color scheme is cream, red and gold with warm greens and mellow brown-worked into the borders and ornaments. The entire plain field of the ceiling is treated with gold, which reflects a warm glow over all and helps greatly with creamy confine and warm walls to dispel the former shadowy effect of the interior. The designs are mostly of the convention, altered grape vine motif, in green and brown. The new interior is an artificially capitalized that support the balcony are solidly glided. The tapestry effects of the boxes is enriched with color and gold and the heavy curtains are damask timed. A new booking office has been opened in the front of the house, to the right as you enter, with fine artistic appointments in keeping with the other part of the house. The ticket office in the centre is handsomely decorated to compare with the artistic designs in front. The office to the left is transformed into a palatial nook, the furnishings are all solid yellow and contains all the modern devices used in air up to date, office here also reposes a new building. The whole building is now surmounted with a flag pole, rising 125 feet in the air, from which fauna a pennant of Gibson's New Standard Theatre which can be seen all over the city. The painting was done by Colored men, as Mr. Gibson is an ideal race man, and never forgets his own. He has 72 people in his employ and will soon put a new company on the road. QUAKER CITY ADVERTISING CO. 1221 Play Street --- ANDERSON GIVEN BIG STATE JOB In naming Hon. Chas. W. Anderson, ex.Collector of Internal Revenue, an illustrative son of Ohio, Gov. Whitman has done that which has been happily anticipated by the colored people, not only of New York, but the country over. While in the office of Collector of Internal Revenue, Mr. Anderson made a record for himself, the race and the Republican Administration, and that he will do none the less as Supervisory Agent no one will question. Needless to say it is pleasing to all citizens that the ex.Collector wasigned and Supervisory Agent of the Saginaw Agricultural Department at a salary of $4,000 per year. There are about 50 Inspectors and 35 chemists and examiners, and 36 clerks and stenographers who will be under Mr. Anderson's supervision. No one doubts the ability of the ex.Collector to creditily fill the position, for he is a man of exceptional ability, a diplomat, and is over ready to evince that congenial nature with which he is so endowed. Gov. Whitman is to be congratulated upon his splendid selection, that is bound to reflect credit upon his judgment and the Republic Administration. He has been the recipient of many congratulations, and especially from his fellow citizens in the Borough of Manhattan—America. FROM THE PHILIPPINES- Mr. Walker speaks plainly. Critic's Prof. Moore's utterances. To the Editor: Lucena Taygabas, P. I., Sept. 30, 1915. —Will you kindly allow me the space to make some remarks regarding the article of Mr. I. S. Moore, of Bahia, Brazil, published in your weekly of June 6th ultima? In the use by Mr. I. S. Moore of the word "we", I take it for granted that he belongs to the Afro-American race, and under that impression I shall call his attention to some of the stress that he is laying upon the advice of-Booker T. Washington. I do not know Washington personally, nor never had the pleasure of speaking to him, but I will say that his fame has reached the four points of the world, and his teachings are being sought after and taught in all countries, where civilization, and the dignity of labor have been, and are being spread. PIQ.CULTURE AND HYGIENE Mr. Moore states in his article "I venture with a prediction that it must have been somewhat puzzling for the more rational individuals to understand how a promoter of plc culture in the family could at the same time be a promoter of hygiene." Evidently Mr. Moore has never spent much time in studying the papers and methods which the Bureau of Agriculture lausae upon this subject. It seems a fact beyond a doubt that he calls the Afro-American's attention to the great Capitalist, in this article, yet he fails to recognize the fact that one third of these very same capital, lions are hog, cattle and sheep growers. These same men, in a great many instances, spend, or give thousands of dollars yearly for the cause of hygiene, and many lecture upon this all im, nortant subject. OUTSIDE ADVICE NOT VALID Again Mr. Moore informs the Afro-solve the political problem of America. Let me say that we, who live outside of America, can give no advice upon the political movements of that Republic, which men like Douglass Brace, Langston of days gone by, and Terrell, John Mitchell Jr., W. Calvin Chase, W. W. Martin, H.T. Washington and many others, who are spending their lives, not only by talk, but acts in solving the problem; I am glad to say will be solved and our Afro-American friends in India help me. Again Mr. Moore informs the Afro-American that he is a Democrat, good for you Mr. Moore! All the woes of your people have come upon them under that name. CRUTIFIXION AND ITS PECULI ARTIFICES From this I understand that you are one who, by your acts, put a nail in the people upon the cross. I would not dwell upon the question of the relation between the female of our race and the white man should the editor permit me. I will take it upon another time. I desire to inform Mr. Moore that in this country of eight millions, its inhabitants have not a single bank of their own. They have only one life insurance company, one building and loan association, no street or railroads of their own. All these are in the hands of the English and other nations. Should you look over the record of America you will find a different story to tell of her eight millions that you are asking permission to solve their problem from afar. CALLS HIM TO AMERICA Mr. Moore, as you are able to give so much good advice, why do you not stay (on the battlefield) in America, like Booker T. Washington and shoot at the enemy at close range, instead of in the land of smiles and sunshine? It would be well if we who are living in other countries, would make use of our pen in telling our people at home of what progress the races of color are making where we are living, so this can be a stimulant for them in their daily movements for propres, to see if they are being left behind in the race of life. Mr. Moore, when I have time I shall tell you where our people stand—far above those of the same race in Brazil. Hope to hear from you again along different lines. Yours for success. R. E. WALKER WANTS TO FIND THEM. I would like to jocate some of my people.

Walker to church. She was slightly bruised and Mrs. Walker in getting out of the way, sprained her ankle. The affair created some excitement for awhile. Reports from the Walker residence state that Mrs. Walker is getting on as well as could be expected and no serious symptoms had developed. A CARD OF THANKS Rev. Dr. and' Mrs. W. T.

(Special to The Planet) Rev W. H. Skipwith, B. D., who is justly called the "Black Billy Sunday" has turned loose his gatting gun of thought and fired against sin and uncleanness at the First Baptist Church and as an evangelist he stands without a peer in the galaxy of evangelical work and song. Every church in this town is being greatly helped, the pastors are all in union and the devil is seeking other quarters. Everybody is enjoying the preaching and singing of Rev W. H. Skipwith.

LAHOMA By JOHN BRECKENRIDGE ELLIS Copyright, 1913, by the Bobby Mer- roll Company SYNOPSIS. Brick Willett, a high school student, saves one Gleditsch and a baby girl from being murdered by his fellow outlaws on the western plains. Willett flows to the mountains and hides to escape the wrath of the outlaws he had outlitted. The hearts that one has discovered in his living place. Red Fortress, an Indian chief, brings Willock a little boy to teach Laboma, begins to teach one of his he may her father is living with Indiana. Olivia her as the daughter who had died and was buried begins to teach Laboma core. Taken into country by Billy Alfano, and later she trips to a real town. Willock a凑pton, visiting an amusement glimpse of life interested in her, adds a little girl to the company. C凑pton afferent and visits Willock and is finally allowed to meet and talk with Laboma. They become very entertained by one another a company. C凑pton leaves and goes to another section of the country as a pioneer, wheed he hopes to make his fortune. Willock and joins forces. C凑pton later returns. Lahoma is sent to a city to get education and training. Compton is heartened by the news that he is appointed Feather appointee on the second once more. Lahoma writes a long letter. One of the men she meets is Giselle, her stepfather, but she does not know of the relationship. He is a crook of the lowest type. Lahoma sends a warning to Willock that died Kunballi one of the outlaws with whom Willock formerly operated, has sworn to kill him and has started on his way to kill him. She says that Giselle was the Indian, the Red Feather, may be to him. Red Feather attacks Giselle and almost blinds Lahoma born that Giselle had married the Indian daughter and decided to kill. Willock Compton joins the war in a stagecoach to Willock's home. Red Kunballi and the rantant of the old outlaw are arrested by Lahoma and Willock on their way to kill Willock. A terrified Travis mother, overkeeps Lahoma. FOR hours Wilfred sat opposite staring at Lahonna's worn face, pathetic in its youthful roundness from which the bloom had vanished, wondering at her grace, beauty, helplessness and perfect faith in him. The faith revived itself in every line of the form lying along the seat and spaced from the unconscious face from which the brown hair was outspread to dry. How slowly her voice had sounded? How strong she had been its accent when she said, "It never entered my mind that I was the little girl!" Had she been sorry for the thought to come? Did she think loss of him because he had not remained true to Anabel? Had she been born to her brother wait until touching their destination before blinding of love? Even while perplexed over these problems and while chained by that apacing face, with the softly parted lips, by the figure that stirred in the rhythm of slumber, other thoughts, other objects weighed upon him—the two dead men, the dead horse just outside. One of those men might be Red Klimbah. Armed and watchful, Wilfred waited through the hours. When no longer able to bear the uncertainty he crept from the stage with the lantern and examined the recent scene of a furious struggle. There were only two slain—the driver and one of Red Kimball's companions. Either Kimball and his other comrade had escaped or had been captured. If any of the attacking party had fallen the bodies had been borne away. Bloodstains indicated that more than two had been abot that more than two had been captured to find himself once more indoors by the coach walks with Laboma so peacefully sleeping. Once he fell into a doze from which he was startled by the impression that soft noses, not of wind or rain, were creeping over the earth. He sat erect, with the confusion, fancy that wolves were stalking among the wheels, were glaring up at the windows, were dragging away the corpse. The sudden movement of his hand as it grasped his pistol awoke Laboma. She opened her eyes wide, but did not lift her cheek, from the arm, that lay along, the cushion. "There you are," she said. "Just as I was dreaming." He pretended not to be uneasy, but his ears simulated to catch the meaning of those mysterious movements of the night. Her voke cut across the vague murmur of the room. "You only came once." Although her eyes were wide, she was apparently but half awake. Not a muscle moved as she looked into his face. "I thought," she murmured, "it was on account of Annabel." "I went away because I loved you," he answered softly. "I promised Brick I'd go if I felt myself caring, and nobody could help caring for you. That's why, I left the country. Just as soon as we laughed together—it happened. That's why I didn't come again." "Yes," signed Lahore, so if it was not so hard to understand now. "And that's why I've come back," he added. "Because I've kept on loving you." "Ton," she stared in ague. She stood her eyes on, and scanned the fall adjoining. dunkey. "There you are!" she said. Perhaps it was a sort of knowing sleep that lost most of the world, but clung tenaciously to a few beads. The noises of the night diel away. Presently he heard her mirror as a little smile crept about the parted lips. "The core's pretty! but there's more room than I thought." When she was wide awake daylight had slipped through the windows. "Oh, Wilfifo!" she exclaimed, sitting suddenly and putting her hands to her hands and manically. "Is--are we all right? "All right," she told the young man cheerfully. "There's a good deal of snow on the ground, but it was blown off the trail for the most part. Some friends have provided us with the means of going forward." "But I don't understand." "Well I shall the sandwiches and melt some snow for water and then indulge in ponies designed to the tongue of the stance." They'd carry us to the next station on the wind." She stood from the window, bowled derel. "I don't know any more about them than you," he answered her thoughts "But those they are and here we are." He said nothing about the bodies even gently carried away by those who had brought the bones. "It's all a mystery, my memory of the future. I haven't met the very first thread of What's the use? The western way is to take what comes, but it, whether northern or southern? There's a much bigger mystery than all that filling my mind. "What is that?" "You." She bent over the sandwich with heightened eyes. "Your Brick?" she murmured, as if to direct his thoughts. But his sympathy just then was not for Birl. Lahoma, you said that this is a subject a man should be up." She looked at him brightly, still shudging. "Well." "I'm bringing it up, Lalomba." "I'm planning to ve Brick from arrest." "I'm hoping we'll get home in time. Note that I say home, Lahoma. I refer to the cave. I'm hoping we'll reach home in time to forestall Red Kimbah. We've lost a great deal of time, but Brick doubtless is safely biding. And when we get to the journey's end -Lahoma, do you know what naturally comes at the journey's end?" "No." "A marriage." "I thought that was what you meant." "Will you marry me at the journey's end?" Lahoma turned very red and laid down the sandwich. Then she laughed. Then she started up. "Let's get on the post." she cried. The show that morning lay in drifts from five to eight inches across the trail and to the height of several feet up against those rock walls, railing as on vast artificial tables, the higher stretches of the Kluwa country. But by noon the plain was scarcely streaked with white, and when the sun set there was nothing to suggest that a snowflake had ever fallen in that sand stream world. When the rude cabins and hasty tents of the last stage station in Green county showed dark and white against the horizon of a springlike morning Wilfred cried exultantly: "The end of the journey!" And Lahuna, suddenly showing in her cheeks all the roses that had opened in her dreams, repeated gaily, yet a little broken: "The end of the journey!" The end of the journey roset a wedding. The plains blossom with endless flower gardens and the mountains sing together when the end of the journey means a wedding. Leaving Lahoma at the small new hotel, from whose boards the sun began bolling out resin as soon as it was well aloft, Wilfred burgled after a fresh horse to carry him at once to the cave, ten miles away. Warnings must be given to Brick Willock first of all. Lahoma even had a wild hope that Brick might devise some means whereby he could attend the wedding without danger of arrest, but to Wilfred this seemed impossible. He had gone but a few steps from the hotel when he came, face to face with the sheriff of Green county, Outing short his old friend's outburst of panure. He went, Mimosa, said Wilfred, but saw him hide from the customers thriving on the idle life, "I have you gaze a warmer napkin upon Wilford." Mimosa smiled at him, "How well, "Know you happen." "Whirred nigged with wolf." "As any mate, you don't" he cried. "As you ride away over to the cove," he murmured his friend, a girl named Tess. "He takes you home with a girl. Then friends of mine—departation. They're living in the dugout, just laying for Brick to show himself." "But, Mizkoo," expostulated Wilfred, "why are you taking so much trouble against my best friend? The warrant ought to be enough, and if you can't get a chance to serve it on him that's not your fault. Your deputies haven't any right in that case, and I'm going to smoke on out," he said, with a deprecatory shake of his head. "See here, old man; he marmorated, "don't you say nothing about being Frank Wilbock's roused against him. He heard of them three bodies?" Wilfred explained that he had just come to town. "Well, good Lord, then, the pleasure I'm going to have in telling you some thing you don't know and something that's full of meat. Let's go where you want, and no standing news." The inklunded stared across the street without looking to see if he were followed. He did not stop till he was in bibroom at the hotel "Now," he said, "looking the door, "sit down," Yes, you bet, I got a warrant against Brick Willock. It was sworn out by a fellow named Jeremiah Kimboh. You know Jeremiah Kimboh. You know regular charges weighty. Brick Willock once a member of Red Kimboh's gang. He's the only one that didn't come in to get his humility. So? Well, he killed the brother-shot "m. Gledware's coming on to witness it. Will lock will claim he done the deed to save Gledware's life—and his and his little gals. But Gledware will show it was other murderer, murderer, and worst of all, he's a murderer without an amnesty--that's the only difference between him and Red. Well, old tip, I took my oath to do my duty. You know what that signature." Brick had to shoot Kansu Kimbayi. "Well, let him show that in court. My business is to take him alive. That isn't all; he's just the preface. Listen. If you believe me in the stage here and red-bellied you in coming here to sweep out the warrant, they was—that there stage was set on by this friend of yours. Yes, Brick his gathered together some of his pardens and is a high-waitman. Why, he shot one of Bofs witnesses, and he shot the driver." "I know something about that hold-up, and Wildfrost scornfully. "It must have been done by Indiana." "Red was Brick among the gang. He recognized him. Well, Well and his other pardon gets on horse they cuts loose and comes like lightning and gets here and tells the story, and maybe he is a charging and a saddling for blood. There be more excitement against Brick Wilbuck if there was more community, but such as they is is conceived." "Miss Been listen to reason. Don't you understand, that, Red wants revenge and has misrepresented this Indian attack to tally with his other help." I wouldn't say nothing against Red, but he didn't gentlemanly to call dead fellows. "Dead fell," school Wilfred, starting up. "I knew you didn't understand that Red off the trail forever." Missgo rejoined greatly. "I knew you wouldn't be accusing him so rapid had you been posted on his funeral." He felt a great relief, then a great wonder. "Yes, he's dead. I don't say he's better off. I don't know—but I guess the world is. I don't like to consure them that's departed. Brick Willeck is still with us, and him the county can't say enough against. His life wouldn't be worth two bites if anybody laid eyes on him. Consider his high handed doings. Wasn't it enough in the past to kill Rilea brother, but what he must need collect his pals, stop the stage, and kill Red, and one of 'em the innocent driver? You say yes. But hold on. That can't all he done. No, sit. The very next day after Red awore out that warman- and it was yesterday, if you ask me—what is saw when we men of Mangum comes out of our door? Three corps lying on the sidewalk side by side. You say what corpse? Wait. I'm coming to that. One was that driver, one was the pard that got the corpse, and another was Red Kimbali his own self." "I knew the bodies had been carried away from the trail," exclaimed Wilfred in perplexing. "But you didn't know they had been brung to town all this distance to be laid beside Red. You didn't know Red had been stabbed so he could be added too. You didn't know the three of them had been left on the street to rile up every man with blood in his veins Why. Wilfred, it's an insult to the whole state of Texas. Such highhanded doings, isn't to be borne. If Brick Willock don't want to be tried in court, that an execution be tried in him, that it fines against him! It might of been once. But we're determined to have a county of law abiding citizens. Such free living has got to be nipped in the bud, or we'll have another No Man's Land. I am the as-sheriff of Greer county I am a—I am the angel of civilization, you may say." Waring aside, Blumberg present, WF and elaborated the theory of an Indian attack, described Blumberg's possible disposition, his prognosis to Lakshmi, then dwelt on the relationship between himself and Blumberg and the possibility between himself and Blumberg's guilt. "All we answer to Blumberg, the Missico grinned good-naturely. "Yap, Well, we're got a clew locked up in jail right now that could tell us something. I judge, and will tell us something before set free. It's name is Bill Atkins. He's a wise old coon, but as sour as a boiled owl—nothing as yet to be negotiated with him, thus he was a bobcat caught in a trap. We're hoping little mellow him-time and the prospect of 'being took out and swung from the nearest limb.' Wilfred insisted on an immediate visit to Bill. "Brick declared he wouldn't tell Bill his living place," he said. "for he didn't want to get him into trouble. He'll tell me it he knows anything, and if he doesn't it's an outrage to shut him up, old as he is and as rheumatic as he's old." On the way to the rudely improvised prison Mizcox defended himself. "He wasn't too old and rheumatic to fight like a wildcat. Why, he had to be lifted up bodily and carried into his cell. Not a word can we get out of him, or a bite of grub into him. I believe that old codger's just too obdoubte to die!" When they reached the prison door the crowd gathered about them, eager to see, "watching Mizcox infiltrate the door as if we were sucking the secret to Willock's whereabouts." We were loud imprecations on the head of the murderer and fierce prophecies as to what would happen to Bill if he preserved his inertial silence. It seemed but a moment before burrowing forms from many directions, packed themselves into a mass before the jail. The cells were in the basement. The only entrance to the building was by means of a flight of six steps leading to an unroofed platform before the door of the story proper. Mizzoo and Wiltfred, standing on this platform, were lifted above the heads of perhaps a hundred men, who watched eagerly the dangling bunch of keys. Mizzoo joined three deputies as the foot of the staircase leading up to the exit of the men once rushed into the fall nothing could check their course. Mizzoo whispered 10 Wiltfred, "We'd better get in as quick as possible." The words were lost in the increasing roar of voices. He spoke again: big fear of voices. He spoke again: "When I swing open the door that bach will try to make a run for it. You will. You will be after you like a shot. We'll look behind you." "Hey, Mizzou!" shouted a voice from the crowd, "bring out that old cusd. Drag him to the platform, we want to hear what he's got to say." "Say, Mr. Sheriff! Tell him if he won't come to us, we'll go to him. We've got to know where Brick Willock's billing, and all that about it." "Sure," growled a third. "What kind of a town is this anyway? A refuge for highwaymort and murderers?" A struggle took place at the foot of the road, where he was heretofore. A reasoning voice was heard; that let me say a word to the boys." "West" called others. "let's hear him!" There was a surprising forward, and a man was fitted literally over the heads of the three deputies. He reached the platform breathless, disheveled, but triumphant. It was the survivor of Red Kimball's land. Mizzoo, instigating his coming for a general rush, had hastily relocked the door, and he and Wilfred defended themselves with drawn revoltors. "I don't up here to do no harm," called the ex-highwayman, "almost got the spirit to fight." My killer is dead. Even that innocent driver driver what knew nothing of us is killed in the attack that Brick Willock' made on us in the dark and behind our backs. How're you going to grow when the whole world knows you isn't nothing but a den of snakes? You may claim it's all Brick Willock. I say if he's bigger than the town, if he murders and stabs and you can't help it, then the town isn't as good as him. My life's in danger. I don't know what kind of a reputation is that for you to and abroad? There's a man in this fall can tell you where Willock's hiding. Good day! The speaker was down the steps in two leaps, and the deputies drew aside to let him pass out. Civic pride, above all, civic ambition, had been touched to the quick. A hoarse roar followed the speech, and cries for Bill grew frantic. Mizzoo, afraid to unlock the door, stared at Wilfred in perplexity. "I told you they had civilization on the brain," he muttered. "The old times are past. I don't make a move, toward that lock." "Drop the keys behind you—I'll get 'em," Wilfred murmured. "Step a little forward. Say something to see." "Ain't got nothing to say," growled Mizzoo, glaring at the mob. "I am in the middle of it; that's how I feel. I need to oblige oldoboe! His own insult if they string him up." "Here they come!" Wilfred exclaimed. "S steady new, old Mizzoo—we're whipped packs of wolves before today,—copies crazy with hunger—big gray loafers in the roach—oh Mizzoo!" He showed to the deputies who had been pushed against the walling. "Give it to 'em boys!" But the deputy did not fire, and the mob, though chilling with mad impatience, did not intervene. It was a single drive that moved to the stage, an obstruction, altered, defended, by the mass of packed men in the stage—a figure eight and even dancing with the necessity of acting to create every vole and murmur, composing, displaying so relentlessly, so obnervably, that the crowd also ripped and galloped, but made the same noise. CAMP JAIL "How're you going to grow when the whole world knows you ain't nothing but a dum of snake?" ment. "I'm going to talk to these people. Let me have that"—She took the revolver from the uncreating hand, unhooked it and slipped it into her bosom. Then she faced the mob and held up her empty hand. It was the first time, Lahoma had ever faced an audience larger than that composed of Brick and Bill and Willfred. After her, uplifted band had brought tense silence she stood at a loss, her eyes big with the appeal her tongue refused to utter. The mob was awed by that light in her eyes, by the crimson in her cheeks by her beauty, freshness and grace. They would not proceed to violence while she stood there facing them. Her power she recognized, but she understood it was that of physical presence. When she was gone her influence would depart. They knew Brick and Bill had sheltered her from her tenderest years they admired her fidelity. Whatever she might want to try to evoke their would come from a sense of gratitude and would be received in tolerant silence. The more guilty the highwaysman the more commendable her loyalty. But it would not change their purpose. As if waiting for a storm to pass they stood stoil and close mouthed, slightly bent forward, unrestling, but unmoved. "I'm a western girl," Lahoma said at last, and ever since Brick Willock gave me a home when I had none I've breed right over yonder at the foot of the mountains. I was there when the cattlemen came, before the Indians had given up this country, and I was here when the first settlers moved in and when the soldiers drove them out, and when Living in the cave with Brick Willock, Texas and planted miles and miles of wheat, and I used to play with the rusty plows and machinery they left scattered about after the three years drought and starved them back to their homes. Then Old Man Walker came to Red River, sent his cowboys to drive out of the cave, and their sheriff led the bunch. And it was Brick and myself that stood them off with our guns, our backs to the wall and our powder drag, and we never saw Mizko in our cove again. So you see I ought to be able to talk to western men as they can appreciate, and if there is any property they can own, their western map—he couldn't understand our style anyhow—he'd better go where he's needed, for out west you need only western men—like Brick Willock, for instance. At reference to the well known incident of Mizoo's attempt to drive Willock from the cave there was a sudden wave of laughter, none the less hearty because Mizoo's face had flushed and his mouthhad opened aheepishly. But at the recurrence of Willock's name the crowd grew serious. They felt the justice of her claim that out west only western men were needed; they ex-actly did not want a model type. But let she one else hold him up before them as a model. Lahoma's manner changed. It grew denser and more forceful. "Man. I want to talk to you about this case. Will you be the jury? Consider what kind of man sword out that warrant against Brick—the leader of a band of highwaymen! And who's his chief witness? You don't know Mr. Gledware. I do. You've heard he's a rich and influential citizen in the east. That's sure. But I'm going to tell you something to show what he is, and what Brick Willock is—just one thing, that's all I'll my about the character of others—to Red Kinnail, you don't have to be told. I am not going to talk about the general features of the case—as to whether Brick was ever a highwayman or not, as to whether he killed me and my mother, or did it in blood or blood to whether he held up the stigma. These things you've discussed. You've formed opinions about them. I want to tell you, something you haven't heard. Will you laugh?" At first one spoke. Then from the crowd came a "annoyed impartial voice: "You got not at time." He did not discouraged by the instigation in the tone that all her speaking was in vein and plumped into the making of her narrative. "One evening Brick came on a decorated wagon a wagon. Hard traveled all day with nothing to eat or drink, and he got, the wagon to escape the thieves with. In there he found the wagon, and the wagon was a giant treasure to take her thieves to be brazen lifting this cloth their clothes and the new a treasure and more." she on his knees. "If you make the noise and call to wade, he is laughing and the cool and nervous laughter. He had find that the bumpy bumps and he have the wouldn't have waded any one to be the her thief." And he did a grave in: he said, though she was nothing to him, and buried her head, away seeing her face and covered the spot with a great pyramid of stones, and prayed for her little girl, I was her little girl. The Indians had carried me away. You'll say that was a little thing; that anybody would have bared his face, but about not looking at her face well, I don't know. It was a little thing, of course, but somehow it just seems to show that Brick Willock wasn't little—had something great in his soul, you know. Seems to show that he couldn't have been a common murderer. It's something you'll have to feel for yourselves. Nobody could explain it so you'd ask if you don't understand already." The men stared at her, somewhat bewildered, saying nothing. In some breasts a sense of something delicate, not to be defied, was attired. CHAPTER XVIII. "Who killed Red Kimball" ONE day," Lahoma resumed, "I tricked a saw a white man with some Indians standing near that, grave. He couldn't imagine what they meant to do, so he hid, thinked he would be afterward Red Feather explained why they came that evening to the gled of stones. The white man was Mr. Gledware. After red Kimbala's gang captured the wagon train, Mr. Gledware escaped, married Red Feather's daughter and lived with the Indians. He'd married immediately to save his life, and the tribe suspected he meant to leave Jalahan Territory at the first light, when he was terrified night and day lost the suspicions of the Indians might finally cost him his life. "It wasn't ten days after the massacre of the emigrants till he decided to give a proof of good faith. Too great a coward to try to get away and caring too much for his wife's rich lands to want to leave, he told about the Pearl and onyx pin. He said he wanted to give it to Red Flower. A pretty good Indian Red Feather was—true friend of mine. He wouldn't rob graves! But he had he'd take Mr. Gledwara to the place, and if he got that pin they'd all come and see it among the fellow. That's why the head was standing, there when Brick Willock looked from the mountain top. Mr. Gledwara dug up the body after the Indians had rolled away the stones—the body of his wife—my mother—the body whose face Brick Willock wouldn't look at in its helplessness of death. Mr. Gledwara is the principal witness against Brick. If you don't feel what kind of man he is from what I've said nobody could explain it to you." From several of the intent listeners burst involuntary denunciations of Gledware, white on the faces of others showed a momentary gleam of horror. Red Kimball's confederate spoke loudly, harshly, "but who killed Red Kimball and his parad and the stage that I think it was Red Feather's band. I will witness to the fact that Kimball agreed to bring Mr. Gledware the pearl and onyx pin on condition that Mr. Gledware against Brick. After Mr. Gledware deserted Red花语, or, rather, after her death, Red Feather carried that pin about him. Mr. Gledware knew he'd never give it up alive. He was always afraid the Indian would find him, and at last he did find him. But Red Kimball got the pin. That mean anything except that Kimball discovered the Indian's hiding pin, but for that, I thought it Red Feather who attacked the stage and killed Red Kimball. As it is, I believe it must have been his friends." "Now you've said something!" cried Mizzoo. "Boys, don't you think it's a reasonable explanation?" Some of them did, evidently, for the grim resolution on their faces softened. Others, however, were unconvinced. A stern voice was raised: "Let Brick Willock, come do his own explaining Bill Attkins knows where he's hiding out—and we got to know. We've started in to be a law abiding county, and that there warrant against Willock has got the right of way." "You've no warrant against Bill," cried Wilfred, stepping to the edge of the platform, "there you've violated the law in locking him up." "That's so," exclaimed Red Kimball's former comrade. "Well, turn him loose, that's what we ask—let him go—open." "He's locked up for his own safety," shouted Mizzo. "You follow, agree to leave him alone, and I'll turn him out quick enough. You talk about the law—what you want to do to Bill ain't overtly jawful, I take it." "If he gives up his secret we ain't going to handle him rough," was the quick fox. Lahona found that the softening in fluence she had exerted was already fast displeasing. They bore with her merely because of her youth and sex. She cried out desperately. "Is there nothing I can say to move your heart? Has my story of that pearl and onyx been lost on you? Couldn't you understand, after all? Are you western men and yet unable to feel the worth of a western man like Brick? How be clothed me and sheltered me when the man who should have appointed the child left in his care neglected her. How he taught me not to never a cross word—a man like that! And you think he could kill! I don't know, whether Bill was told his hiding place or not. But if I know it, do you think I could? And if Bill betrayed him—but Bill wouldn't do it. That was God. I was raised with real men, and that knew I to stand by each other and be true to the death. You want Bill to turn traitor. I say, what kind of men are you? "You needn't worry to the same. "Well, no." *memorandum* *official* "I wouldn't mind, but will you tell me a great story, so we don't give you any time to tell it." "What I can do." *until all I had to stop*. "Don't stop, dear, for God's sake— the case is desperate! You'll have to do —for Bill." "And that isn't all." Lahoma called in a broken, pathetic voice, as she turned her pale face upon the curious crowd. "That isn't all. You know, Brick and Bill have been all I had—all in this world. You know they couldn't have been sweeter to me if they'd been the nearest to him, than him, somehow, when they strike to me and sit with me in the dugout; and I guess I know a little about a mother's love, because I've always had Brick and Bill. But one day somebody else came to the corve, and this somebody also—well—he—this somebody else wants to marry me—today. This was the end of our journey; she went on blindly, "and—and it is our weeding day. I thought there must be some way to get Brick to the corve, and this somebody also—well—he—this somebody else wants to marry without him. But Bill's here—in that full—because he wouldn't betray his friend. And I couldn't marry without either Brick or Bill, could I? She took her quittering hand from Wilfred's sturdy arm and, moving to the top of the steps, held out her trembling arm appealingly; The crowd was with her; now. No doubt of that. All fescence gone, tears here and there, broad grins to hide deep emotion, open admiration, touched with tenderness, in the eyes that took in her shy flowerlike beauty. "You shall have Bill!" shouted the spokesman of the crowd. And other voices cried, "Give her Bill. Give her Bill!" "Hiring him out!" continued the spokesman in stentorian tones. "We'll not ask him a question. Fellows, clear a path for 'em,'." The man was formed through the thought of smiling men whom the sudden, unexpected light of love had softened magically. While Mizzo hastened to Bill's cell, some one exclaimed, "Invite us too Make it a town wedding!" And another started the shout, "Hurrah for Lahoma!" Lahoma, who had taken refuge behind Wilfred's protection, went and laughed in a rosy glow of triumphant joy. Mizzoz presently toured, leaving the door wide open. He walked to the stairs, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes dug out with appreciation of the situation: "Fellows," he called, "the says you carried him in there, and dugged if you would have to carry him out, for not a step will he take." At this unexpected development a burst of laughter swelled into a roar. After that mighty merriment, Bill was as safe as a babe. Twenty volunteers pressed forward to carry the wedding guest from his cell. And when the old man slowly but proudly followed Willfred and Laloma to the hotel where certain preparations were to be mode—particularly as touching Bill's personal appearance—the town of Mangum began gathering at the newly church whether they had been invited. When the four friends—for Mizzoz joined them—drove up to the church door in the only carriage available, Bill descended firmly, his eyes gleaning fiercely from under snowy locks as if daring any one to ask him a question about Brick. But nobody did. The general suspicion that Bill Atkins knew more about Brick Willock than he had revealed, was not without foundation; though the extent of his knowledge was more limited than the town supposed. Bill had carried to his friend-hidden in the crevice in the mountain-top the news of Red Kimball's death; since then, they had not been able to speak to him. Skulking along wooded gullies by day, creeping down into the cove at night, Willock had unconceally reverted to the habits of thought and action belonging to the time of his outlawry. He was again, in spirit, a highwayman, though his hostility was directed only against those seeking to bring him to justice. The softening influence of the years spent with Lahoma was no longer apparent in his shifting bloodshot eyes, his crouching shoulders, his futive hand ever ready to match the weapon from bosom to bosom, his unsteady posture, intensified lv strugging whistles and uncombed locks, gave to his giant form a kinship to the huge grotesque shaped rocks among which he had made his den. He heard of Red Kimball's death with bitter disappointment. He had hoped to encounter his former chief, to grapple with him, to hurt him, perhaps, from the precinct overlooking Bill's former home. If in his fall, Kimball, with arms wound about his waist, had dragged him down to the same death, what matter? Though his enemy—now no more, the sheriff held the warrant for his arrest—if the dead man could still stand a mortal blow. The sheriff might be overcome—he was but a man. That piece of paper calling for his arrest—an arrest that would mean, at best, years in the penitentiary—had behind it the whole state of Todd's forerunner imagination, the warrant became personified: a mysterious force, not to be destroyed by material men—it was not only, but spirit. And if bad came between him and Labone, it had hurt him off from the possibility of a peaceful old age. The core was no longer home but a hiding place. He did not question the justice of this appeal to his earlier life. He doubted death of his age, never punished, disarmed a weapon. He betrayed the agenda of this justice not so much impress them they threatened his liberty, but so horrens they stopped in begging, tantrum and laughter. Amy violence. Denied the savage joy of killing Red Kimball—and he would have killed him with as little compartment as if he had been a wolf—his thoughts turned toward Gledware. Gledware was the only witness of the deed for which the warrant demanded his arrest. Willock wished many of his other doeds had been prompted by impulses as generous as those which had led to Kapsas. Kimball's death. Perhaps it was the army of justice that he should be threatened by the one act of bloodshed which had saved Labquha's life. If he must be hanged or imprisoned because he had not, like the rest of the band, given himself up for official pardon it was as well to suffer from one deed as from another. But it would be better still, as in the past, to escape all consequences. Without Gledware they could prove nothing. Would Gledware testify now that Red Kimball, who had bought his testimony with the death of the Indian, no longer lived to exact payment? Willock felt, sure he would. In the first place, Gledware had placed himself on record as a witness, hence could hardly retreat; in the second place, he would doubtless be anxious to rid himself of the danger of ever meeting Willock, whom his conscience must have caused him to hate with the hatred of the man who wrongs his benefactor. Willock transferred all his rage against the dead enemy to the living. He reminded himself how Gledware had caused the death of Red Feather, not in the hent of fury or in blind terror, but in cold blooded bargaining. He meditated on Gledware's attitude toward Lathoma. He thought nothing good of Jim, he magnified the evil. That scene at the grave of his wife and Red Feather's account of how he had dug up the body for a mere pin of pearl and oysts—ought such a creature to live to condemn him, to bring sorrow on the stepdaughter he had basely refused to acknowledge? To wait for the coming of the witness would be to lose an opportunity that might never recur. Willock would go to him. In doing so, he would not only take diedware by surprise, but would leave the only neighborhood in which search would be made for himself. Thus it came about that while the environs of the cave were being minutely examined Brick, riding his fastest pony, was on the way to Kansas City. He reached Kansas City without unusual incident, where he was accepted naturally as a product of the west. Had his appearance been twice as uncoath, twice as wild, it would have accorded all the better with western superstitions that prevailed in this city, fast forgetting that it had been a western outpost. At the hotel, whose situation he knew from Lahowa's letters, he learned that Gledware was neither there, nor at his home in the country. The country house was closed up, in fact, there was a minor that it was sold, or was about to be sold. One of the porters happened to know that Gledware had gone for a week's diversion down in the Ozarks. There were a inka, a ninthhouse, a dancing hall, as yet unopened. The second was too early for the usual crowd at Ozark lodge, but the warm wave that nearly always came at this time of year had prompted a sudden joining party which might last no longer than the warm (TO BE CONTINUED) Sowers Defeated in Lebanon Lebanon, Pa., Nov. 3.-Councilman George T. Spang, decisively defeated Councilman Edwin U. Sowers for mayor in a fight which resolved itself into a contest between the "wetls" and the "drys." Sowers had the backing of Evangelist Stough. For council, George F. Krause and James E. Fisher are re-elected, with C. Dorsey Mish and J. Herbert Manbeck as the new members. The Republican ticket has swept the county. Harrisburg, Pa., Nov. 3—Dr. Extra B. Meals was elected mayor of Harriburg without opposition. He is a former mayor. Returns indicate re-election to council of W. L. Gorgas, Democrat, and H. F. Bowman, Republican, Ex-Mayor E. Z. Gross, a Republican, who was opposed by the local organization this year, probably is elected with them, while Mayor John K. Royal, Democrat, and Councilman-William H. Lynch, Republican, appear to be having a hard battle for the fifth seat in the non-partisan body over which Meals will preside. Royal will probably win out. Carlisle, Pa. Nov. 3.—Shippensburg has given an overwhelming majority for no-liquor licences, with the total vote of 757, out of which the dry majority will be at least 250, or the largest majority in the last four triennial elections. The average majority in the last twenty eight years favoring no licences has been 72. Shippensburg has favored no licences since 1887, but for several elections thereafter the drys have had close shares. Boy and Girl Pupils Buried or Crushed to Death and Heap of Bodies Blocked Firemen: While 700 boys and girls were at their orning prayers in the parochial school of St. John's Catholic church, in Peabody, Mass, fire startling in the basement, swept through the three stories of the brick and wooden building in less than five minutes. Twenty-one children, none out of their teens, were burned or crushed to death while attempting to escape. Nine are missing, a score of others were injured, several seriously. The origin of the fire is in doubt. Angus McDonald, of the state police, believes it originated in a closet near the stairway and was caused by a hot air explosion. Mother Superior Aldegon, who was in charge of the sisters who taught in the school, heard an explosion and detecting smoke, sounded the alarm. There were no fire escapes on the outside of the building, but wide stairways at either end of the interior led down to the front exit. Under fire drill, the children were marched through constantly thickening clouds of smoke to the ground floor, when the leaders lost their heads. Instead of passing out the rear exit, according to rule, they made a dash for the front door and became jammed in the vestibule. Meanwhile the fire had eaten its way upward from directly under the front entrance and the vestibule crowded with pupils presently was enveloped in flames. Firemen with two lines of boose made a rush at the doorway and tried to fight their way. In a sudden sweep of draft sent the flames so fairly in their faces that they were beaten back. They made a second try, this time throwing over the tangle of small bodies a number of heavy rubber blankets. Then from outside the door and as near as they could get, they directed a stream of water upon the blankets in a desperate hope of keeping off the flames till rescue could be made. But in a short time, so desperately swift it was the progress of the fire, efforts of the firemen were needed elsewhere. They turned over one of the hoses to Timothy O'Connor, a policeman. He forced his way to the doorway and there stood, spraying the water over the blanket-covered heap. The walls above the policeman trembled and threatened to fall, but he stood his ground, his face blistered by the heat. The steady work of the hose in O'Connor's hand kept back the flames that crept along the floor toward the bodies and made possible the saving of life. Herman Ritter is Dead Herman Ridder, president and principal owner of the Staats Zeltung and a leader of the German propaganda in the United States, died at his home in New York after suffering for almost a year from Bright's disease. During the past two weeks, Mr. Ridder's condition had been such that his death was expected at any time. As long ago as the gubernatorial campaign of last year, when the editor went to Elmira to speak in advocacy of the retention in office of the ther Governor Glynn, Mr. Ridder's advancing illness was apparent. Ten months ago his physicians realized that there was next to no hope of his recovery. Mrs. Ridder was with her husband when he died. At the bedside also were Mr. Ridder's three sons, Victor F., Bernard H. and Joseph E. Ridder and Mr. Ridder's brother, Henry, to together with Rev. Father. Thomas F Myhan and the Rev. Dr. A. B. Stuart Chambers. Gives Lafayette $200,000' It was announced at the chapel exercises at Lafayette college, at Easton, Pa., that two hundred thousand dollars had been granted to Lafayette by the general education board of the Rockefeller Foundation, the grant to be a nucleus of a million dollar endowment fund for the college. Lafayette has other funds available to add to this amount and a campaign will be organized to raise the balance. The announcement is significant, as it comes one week after the inauguration of Dr. John Henry MacCracken to the presidency of Lafayette. Hooks $2,500 from Bank By the use of a device something like a fountain pen, an unidentified man hooked up a package of $1800 and a check for $22,000 from the National Exchange bank in Baltimore on Wednesday afternoon, while three confederates engaged the bank teller in conversation.

The police were not notified until Friday, when President Waldo Newcomer admitted the money had been stolen. There is no clew other than the teller's statement that the man were of dark complexion and appeared to be foreigner. Frances increased the soldier's wage of coins per clutch and borrowed money from here to foot the bill.

It is tempting to imagine when I should re- flect that God is just that His justice cannot sleep forever, for the considering numbers, nature, and natural means only a revolution of the world of far- tune may change situation as among possible events; that it may become probable by supernatural interference. The almighty has no attribute which can take side with us in such a contest—Twinness, Jinnism. We have read with much interest the decision of the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia in the Regretation cases, embracing two distinct phases of this remarkable contention. One deals with a tenancy and the other with actual ownership. This learned tribunal decided that the denial of the right of a property owner to live in his own property and upon his own premises was a reasonable exercise of police power. It restricts the liberty of a citizen and goes so far as to guillify one part of the ordinance and to make valid another portion of it. By this method, it proceeds to exercise legislative powers by amending or "curing" a defect in an ordinance. It has long been a fundamental principle of law that a statute that was wrong or invalid in one particular was void in all. The effect of the decision is to make it well high im-possible for a white man to sell a piece of property in residential sections, occupied by white people to a colored man and for a colored man to do the same thing, even though the property in question be on the border line where white people five. It goes to show, too, just how far hate prejudice has gone and to what extent jurists learned in the law will go in order to satisfy a public prejudice. It emphasizes the fact that the era of great statesmanship seems to have passed away. Men are now the creatures of expediency. Futuristic generations will blush with shame at reading this opinion as handed down, which is almost upon a par with the Brad Scott Decision of other days. The argument submitted to show that the segregation law does not violate the letter and the spirit of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States is amending, not to say ridiculous. It sets up the argument that a State has the lawful right to deny its own citizens fundamental rights, to abridge rights and privileges, even though that citizen is a citizen of the United States and a State is forbidden to abridge the rights and privileges of a citizen of the United States. To make this plainer, although the law may forbid a State placing a citizen of the United States in jail upon a charge of trespass, a State may put its own citizen in jail upon a charge of trespass, even though in so doing it is playing a citizen of the United States in jail, and which action is forbidden by the laws of a higher power Under this ruling a colored family from Atlanta, Georgia, Washington, D. C. Baltimore, Maryland or from any other city or State other than Virginia can purchase property in this city and reside in the same temporarily or for any length of time, provided they retain their State citi-zonship in the State from which they moved. Any town council, even without legislative powers can do what it chooses with its own residents, who are citizens of the State, although it may be forbidden to do such things to its own residents on account of their being a citizen of the United States. Under this ruling a citizen of Virginia may be ham strung, bar, becured, skinned alive, burned at the stake, tortured in any way imaginable by State authorities, although the Constitution of the United States provides that cruel and unusual punishment shall not be inflicted upon citizens of the United States. It is not at all surprising that the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia deemed it necessary to hand down a veritable "book" in explaining this decision. It is not surprising either that a jurist of the type and calibre of Mr. JUSTICE JAMES, KEITH, President of the Supreme Court should have dissented from this decision and have later followed it up by the announcement of his retirement from the Bench of that tribunal. We do not mean to infer that his retirement was due to his digestionation with the action of the Supreme Court in this particular case. These kind of rulings though are enough to make any great Virginian, of Ma. Justice Kearn's type, tired. This is an age where great principles are ridiculed and where men are awed by the mob rather than by the voice of reason and justice. The Constitution of the United States for bids discrimination on account of race or color. But this Court takes the position virtually, that the citizens of Virginia must remove to the District of Columbia in order to be benefited by these provisions. The Bill of Rights of Virginia is a standard instrument and certainly its provisions should be observed. Article 1, Section 1, reads: "That all men are by nature equally free and independent, and have certain inherent rights, of which, they enter into a state of society, they cannot, by any compact, deprive or divest their postery; namely, the enjoyment of life, and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness of and safety." What liberty have white folks in this State, when they are denied the right to occupy their own property and when they do, police officers are constantly knocking upon their doors, summoning them to a police court for exercising constitutional rights? To possess property, according to Webster's Dictionary, means to occupy, to inhabit, to be located or situated on it, to have a just right to be master of. Now comes a Supreme Court in this State and rules that a citizen can possess without having the right to occupy, that he can possess without having the right to be situated, that he can possess without having the right to be master of what he owns. But why pursue the logical deductions further? The reasoning is so illogical as to partake of the nature of a corkscrew. It is so illogical as to look like a fish-fhook. It is so illogical as to remind one of a tidewater crub. In looking at it, one finds difficulty in telling whether it is "coming or awake." This Bill of Rights in Section 11 reads: "That no person shall be deprived of his property without due process of law." Still the Supreme Court of Appeals rules that police power, a subordinate regulation, can supercede and nullify a constitutional right. It bases the discrimination upon color and vittates a contract. The absurdity of this ruling must necessarily appear upon its face. White people are being in, convented much, and colored people are being annoyed much more. These onerous oppressions tend to harass staff to make valueless United States citizenship. White people are very much annoyed, but some of them are cursing under their breaths and bear. What will be the outcome of all of this? Storm retribution will exact the toll. Negotiating white people are gradually beginning to learn that the white people's interests and the colored people's interests are identical that you cannot injure one without damaging the other. As for the Supreme Court, we call upon the Christian people of the State to pray for each one of them, that the scales of political expediency may fall from their eyes and that they may learn that the rules of plain and unlawful justice are as inscrutable as the divine edicts and as insnoblate as the laws of the Medes and Persians. "The foundations of justice are that no one shall be harmed, and need, that the common weal be served."—Cyrus CONTEMPT PROCEEDINGS. Case Again Postponed. The citation of the Supreme Lodge N. A., S.

(Continued from first page). narrowly escaped starvation. He told me of the "red tape" regulations. He had a boat furnished by the govern- ment and if the strict letter of the rules were observed, he could not put the boat in the water. He told of the climate of Alaska and declared it to be a rich country. He said that the railroad that the United States gov- ernment had decided to build would be the means of opening up a vast field of wealth. In speaking of forty million-dollars being appropriated to build the railroad, he said that to his mind it would take much more, as much of the distance was through solid rock. NATIVES: PECULIARITIES. He spoke, too, of salmon fishing, of how the fish spawn every fourth year and of the vast number of them caught for the trade. He also spoke of the peculiarities of the natives. When we were about to part, he gave me his name—Mr. Norvall S. Doughan. I looked at him with reverence. He was spending his life in that cold, bleak region, for a sum that would not have induced me to leave the State of Virginia. Night had come now, and I went into the cabin and watched the passengers. Some of them while the time away playing cards. GAMES AND THEIR PATRONS. I saw on one side a Chinmuan, intensely interested, in a game. He did not take a part in it, but he gave a knowing look as he saw the cards being thrown down upon the table. I was studying human nature now. Women and men were playing. Beer and whiskey were in evidence in this part of the cabin. Colored folks here! Oh it, but I could now understand why some of the colored folks believed gambling was all right and accordingly delighted in poker, seven-up, crap-shooting and the like. All of these games of chance are white folks games and the colored folks believe in being like white folks, even of they have to wear their white boots "old clothes." THE WAY OF THE WORLD It is the way of the world. The young man and the young woman look at the glamour of the world and they seek the easy road, which is necessarily the downward one. Going up hill to success along the pathway or rectitude is tiresome and uninviting. But I am to write my experiences and not to deliver a lecture. I was meditated in this cabin filled with white folks and on some where I could not find a colored-person from the top of the wireless outfit to the bottom of the bull. I did not sleep. I was looking at my follow-passengers, and I was still meditating. SEATTLE AT LAST. I was tired and it was with gonutine delight that I saw the electric lights of Seattle in the distance. We were due there at 9 P. M. Monday night, but it was 9:30 before a landing was effected and I passed out to the wharf. As I passed a latticed gate, way, I heard a cry of delight. There, looking at me were my friends. I recognized Mr. and Mrs. John O. Lewis, whose guest I was to be while in Seattle. I had my friend with me, and we walked through a narrow way or exit. On one side was a long counter. It did not take a passenger but a glance to see what had to be done. THOSE GOVERNMENT INSPECTORS. Each passenger was placing his suitcase or satchel upon this counter and opening it, while the United States inspectors proceeded to run their hands through them and decide whether any dutiful articles were contained therein. I awaited my turn, for we were all within this enclosure like prisoners, and only after we had received the "O. K." chalk mark could we pass the officers at the other end. When I finally emerged, I found not only Mr. and Mrs. Lewis awaiting me, but other friends in Seattle, including Mr. W. W. Plumb, formerly of Topeka, Kansas. LARGE AUDIENCE WAITING We must harry to the church they said. The people are waiting to hear you speak. I was astounded. I had wired Mr. Lewis from Vancouver, but this was indeed a surprise to me. I was hurried into an automobile and a short time afterwards, found myself at the A. M. E. Church, on the corner of 14th and Madison streets. A large number of people were there, patiently waiting for me. A ripple of applause followed my entrance; it was an nounced that they were bringing in a genuine colored banker. ALL INTERESTED. The choir sang. On the roostrum, in addition to the pastor, were Mr. Andrew R. Black, Mr. Henry M. Meek, ingr. Mr. John O. Lewis and Mr. John P. Cragwell. I spoke. I told of my experiences and of my troubles and of my present condition. I had the house with me and from laughter to sympathy and sympathy to laughter, we had a good time that night. The automobile had broken down as I entered the D. T. Cardwell was mustered into service and I was soon at the easy residence of Mr. John O. Lewis. JOHN MITCHELL, JR. DROPTED DEAD.

IS OF GRAVE CONCERN The President in Explaining Defence Plane to Manhattan Club, Condemns Plotters. When he outlined the administration's plan of national defense in his address to the Manhattan club, at the Biltmore hotel, in New York, President Wilson solemnly protested against "voles in America" which "spoke alien sympathies" in a way that has "given us grave concern in recent months." He added a solemn warning against "another danger we should guard against"—and this, he said, was the "manifestation of religious and sectarian antagonism." These two passages in the president's speech follow: "The only thing within our own borders that has given us grave concern in recent months has been that voices have been raised in America professing to be the voices of Americans which were not indeed and in truth American, but which spoke alien sympathies, which came from men who loved other countries better than they loved America, men who were partisans of other canes than that of America and had forgotten that their chief and only allegiance was to the great government under which they live. These voices have not been many, but they have been very loud and very clamorous. They have proceeded from a few who were bitter and who were grooviously misled. "America has not opened its doors in vain to men and women out of other nations. The vast majority of those who have come to take advantage of her hospitality have united their spirits with hers as well as their fortunes. These men who speak ally sympathetic are not their spokesmen, but are the spokesmen of small groups whom it is high time that the nation should call to a rocking. The chief thing necessary in America in order that she should let all the world know that she is prepared to maintain her own great position is that the real voice of the nation should sound forth unmistakably and in majestic volume, in the deep unison of a common, unhesitating mutual feeling. I do not doubt that upon the first occasion, upon the first opportunity, upon the first desistite challenge, the voice will speak forth in tones which no man can doubt and with commands which no man dare gainay or resist. "May I not say, while I am speaking of this, that there is another danger that we should guard against. We should robuke not only manifestations of racial feeling here in America where there should be none, but also every manifestation of religious and sectarian antagonism. "It does not become America that within her borders, where every man is free to follow the dictates of his conscience and worship God as he pleases, men should raise the cry of church against church. To do that to is to strike at the very spirit and heart of America. We are a God-fearing people. We agree to differ about methods of worship, but we are united in believing in Divine Providence and in worshiping the god of Nations. We are the champions of religious right here and everywhere that it may be our privilege to give it our countenance and support. The government is consolences of the obligation and the nation is consolences of the obligation. Let no man create divisions where there are none." The president, in speaking to the club, which was holding its fifteenth anniversary dinner, described the new national defense scheme along the lines already made public—the con templated training of a continent, army of 400,000 citizens and the up building of the navy, he promised, being for defensive and not offensive. Admite Killing Game Warden Admits Killing Game Warden Francis Thomas, an unmarried young man of Drifton, is in Carbon county jail at Manch Chunk Pa., the self-confessed slayer of Joseph McHugh, of Weatherly, state game warden, in the woods near Hazleton creek, when McHugh attempted to arrest Thomas and four others for illegal hunting. Thomas was taken into custody at the home of his parents, and, after being brought to Hazleton, admitted the shooting and turned over the gun with which he said he did it. He said that when McHugh approached him and asked what he had during the day he told him he had bagged one robbbt. McHugh ordered Thomas to empty his gun and Thomas fired at the warden, who fell wounded fatally and died shortly aft,eward. Thomas confessed that he also aided at William Brown, who accompanied McHugh, and pulled the trigger, but that the charge failed to go off. EASTERN MEN CAM IN STREET Pietro Glalino, fifty-two years old, was attacked by two men on the highway at Seventh and Spring Garden streets, Boston, Pa., and his throat cut with a razor. He broke away from his surroundings, who fired a shot after him, and sent to Seventh and Northampton streets, where he sat on the ground, attempted to bind the wound with a handkerchief and flogged over Seventh Street street people for a break. They bound him and will get set and flog him too. 1. Mr. Smith was forty-six years old on November 2.

It was contended by the Government that under the wording of the act the company could deduct interest only on the debt up to an amount equal to the capital stock. Under the contention of the corporation the company would not have been liable to taxes. The amount involved for the year 1989 was 1 per cent, upon a net income of $178,194. The Government cited the second paragraph of the previous to section 23, which follows: "Both not income shall be acknowledged by deducting from the gross amount of the income of such corporation, joint stock company or association or insurance company received within the year from all persons; first, all the deficiency, and temporary expenses incurred within the year of income by the insurance and NOAH'S LINIMENT NOAH & HAIR DRESSING JENNING'S FISH COMPANY ROANOKE (VA.)

Text, "What Profits a Man to Gain the Whole World and Lose His Own Soul." The subject was masterly handled by the man of God, and all who heard him could easily coincide with him in the course of the wonderful thought pictured, of the inestimable value of the Soul. At 3 o'clock P. M., there was held in the auditorium of the High Street Baptist Church, a meeting for men only, which was wisely lectured by Rev. Charley Steward, the man of the far West, who can ably engage the attention of men. He spoke about two hours and a half to a large crowd of the men of Roanoke, who listened attentively to all that was said by this wonderful prelate and man of God. We feel if more such meetings were held we would have less crime and heart-broken mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, relatives and friends, but would create one common. Brotherhood throughout Christ, tandion and the Lord could better use us for the purpose for which He created us; namely, to glorify His great and matchless Name by lifting high His Name among the children of men at all times and in all places.

Washington, Nov. 8.—A decision handed down by the Supreme Court today affects many corporations which pay taxes under the income tax law. The Forty-two Broadway Corporation of New York city lost its action to recover taxes paid for 1509 under the corporation tax feature in the Payne Aldrich law, which was reenacted in the present tariff law. The action was brought against Charles W. Anderson, ex-collector of internal revenue. The corporation had won in the Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York, and on appeal the Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment. The Government carried the case up, and the Supreme Court in an opinion today by Justice Pitney held that the Government had a right to retain the taxes. The issue turned on the construction of the language n the first clause of paragraph 2 of the thirty.eighth section of the corporation tax act. The company, which is known as "a reality corporation," was organized to construct a building and collect and pay over rentals. It had a nominal capitalization of only $600, paid up, but had a bonded debt (on which it paid interest) amounting to $4,750,000. The corporation claimed the right to deduct from the gross income, for purposes of estimating the net income for taxation, the interest paid on this bonded debt. Easley's HEWING GUM to. operation of its business and proper ties, including all charges," such as rentals or franchise payments, require to be made as a condition to the continued use or possession of property; third, interest actually paid within the year on its bonded or other indebtedness to the amount of such bonded and other indebtedness not exceeding the paid up capital stock of the such corporation, joint stock control pany." &c. Justice Pitney said: "There was an error, it seems to us, in seeking a theoretically accurate definition of the net income instead of adopting the meaning which is so, clearly defined in the act itself." After pointing out that the corporation tax feature of the Payne Aldren act was not intended to be a tax on incomes, but "an excise upon conduct of business," Justice Pitney said: "Congress evidently had in view the fact that some corporations (other than banks and like institutions which for obvious reasons are separately considered) carry a current indebtedness exceeding the amount of the paid up capital stock, and with respect to such corporations intended to limit the interest deductions to so much of the indebtedness as did not exceed the capital." The court declared that this was not an ordinary classification, saying: "It is not necessary to attribute to Congress a purpose to discourage or impose an extra burden upon corporations carrying on their operations with a nominal capital stock or with an indebtedness largely exceeding the amount of the capital stock. It is more reasonable to say that Congress deemed that where the indebtedness does not exceed the capital it should no longer be treated as an incident, but that the carrying of the indebtedness should be considered as a principal object of the corporate activities, and the operations of such a corporation are conducted more for the benefit of the creditors than of the stockholders, and that the contribution of the corporation to the expenses of the Government should be administered with this fact in view. "There is no question of the power of Congress to adopt such a basis of distinction, and since the line must be drawn somewhere it was certainly an arbitrary to draw it at the precise point where the pecuniary interest of the creditors overbalanced that of the stockholders."—The Sun—November 9, 1915.

The Richmond Negro Welfare League, which was established in November, 1914, will tell the public through its officers, of its purposes and work on next Thursday evening, November 18, at eight o'clock. This important meeting, which will be held in the main auditorium of the Third Street Methodist Church, will mark the first year of the League's existence. This League was established by a number of Colored citizens in Richmond for the purpose of not only attempting to do what was possible in the way of alleviating distresses of any kind, but to assist in the removal and prevention of as many of the causes of this distress as possible. The organization stands for more cooperation of Negro agencies in their fight for better home conditions, cleaner and better streets, proper sewerage facilities, adequate play grounds, standardized and sufficient schools, and health protection, because of its belief that many of these benefits may be secured through concerted effort. The valuable work of some organizations already in the field is recognized because the League believes that the high Negro death rate and degree of sickness may be reduced by correct methods of procedure, and that many individual and collective gains may be accomplished through voluntary constructive effort. The League invites public discussion of its work at this annual meeting. The program will consist of five reports made by the Chairman of the Committee on Neighborhood Im-provement; Delinquency; Amusement and Recreation; Industrial Improvement; and Co-operation of Agencies. Mr. W. N. Colson, Director of the League, will make an annual report. The principal address will be delivered by President J. M. Gandy, of the State Normal School, of Petersburg, and Executive Secretary of the Negro Organization. Society, whose signal success of the past three years has been, in a large measure, due to him. President Gandy will speak on "Co-operation and Negro Progress." Musical numbers will enlist the program. It is expected that a large number It is expected that a large number of representative people will attend this meeting.

CHAMPIONS ALL NEUTRALS America Cannot "With Complacence Suffer Further Subordination of Its Interests," Says Note. The long awaited note to Great Britain on British practices interfering with American trade was made public. In it the United States serves notice on Great Britain. 1—That it does not recognize as legal and effective the British blockade of Germany and Austria-Hungary. 2—That it cannot "submit" to the curtailment of its neutral rights by measures which are "admittedly retaliatory and therefore illegal." 3—That we must "insist" the relations between it and the British government be governed not by a policy of expediency but by established rules of international law. 4-That it unhabilitatively assumes the task of championing the integrity of neutral rights and will devote its energies to that end. The note as a whole is a vigorous denunciation of the British government for the illegality of its measures in regard to neutral shipping "without justification," "indefective," "illegal," "indefensible," and "in violation of the law of nations" are some of this government's characterizations of the British practices. Contrainted, with the notes to Germany in the submarine controversy the communication to Great Britain, however, contains no phrases such as "strict neutrality," "will omit no word or act" and similar expressions used by the president in pressing his demands on Berlin. The note to the London foreign office is devoid of implications such as were contained in the German notes, of drastic action by the United States in the event that the grounds of complaint are not removed. The note contains more than 10,000 words. It includes among other exhibits a long list of neutral ships which have been illegally interfered with by the British. This list, with the details in each case, constitute in effect, the indictment against Great Britain on which the note proper is based. The note groups the causes for pro- ELLIES RAY FISHER. O. G. Eye Specialist test by the United States under three heads. Under these are covered all the acts which are held to have infringed upon American trade rights. The three groups of offenses are: 1. The seizure and detention of vessels on the high seas on more suspicion. 2. The so-called blockade policy. 3. The unsatisfactory and unacceptable character of the regulations governing and the procedure of British prize courts. The American protest on these three grounds of complaint is summarized in the note as follows: Believe it has conclusively shown that the methods sought to be employed by Great Britain to obtain and use evidence of enemy destination of cargoes bound for neutral ports and to impose a contraband character upon such cargoes are without justification, that the blockade upon which such methods are partly founded is indefective, illegal and indefensible, that the judicial procedure offered as a means of reparation for an international injury is inherently defective for the purpose and that in many cases jurisdiction is asserted in violation of the law of nations. The note adds the additional warning that the United States "cannot submit to the certaintment of its neutral rights by these measures" or "with complacency suffer further subordination to its rights and interests to the plea that the exceptional geographic position of the enemies of Great Britain require or justify oppressive and illegal practices." GERMANS FALL BACK Russian Onslaught Galna Ground All Along Battle Line. The Russian offensive is gaining ground along; the entire eastern front, according to the official war office statement issued in Petrograd. Field Marshal von Hindenburg's forces have proved unequal to the task of checking the furious counterattacks hurled at them by the Muscovites. The official statement not only claims progress in the region south of Riga and in the Mitau sector, in Courtland, but it announces, that the Germans have been repulsed to the south of Dvinsk and all along the battle line to the Kolki region. Minister of Agriculture Krivoshein has been relieved of his post at his own request, it is announced, for "reasons of health." Emperor Nicholas has conferred upon him the Order of Alexander Nevsky.

PROMISE COAL TAX BACK But Public Must Wait Until State Drops All Attempt to Collect It. A circular letter from the quarters of the Philadelphia law Reading Coal & Iron company, in Pottsville, announcing that money collected for the coal tax would be returned to the purchasers just as soon as the state gave assurance that no further proceedings would be taken to collect this tax. The company will return the tax to the coal dealers, who will then be called upon to refund to their retail trade. It is impossible to notice the importance of sunshine in the living of babies and little children. A nursery should always be chosen with this in view and the circumstances render it possible should face south, so that the greatest number of hours of sunshine may be available throughout the year. Children and hangings around the window would stand condemned on the side of impeding the increase of sunshine they did not on those of children and other hygienic precautions. One of the earliest signs of conscious sensitivity is found in the presence exhibited by an infant in the sun, and the improvement in growth and condition which follows upon a full amount of sunlight falling upon a child who has hitherto been deprived of it in greater or less degree is often most remarkable.

But why will this so bad shorts in the colored men alone so often said before your paper is able to take all at times there appear in your journal articles which are printed in us all.

We are put to wonder as to what good has come from it, and we note another great wonder for the year of 1915, of which the colored people are protest against it. It is called The Birth of the Nation. But why should the colored people bother with it when they are not the makers. Why don't the colored people keep away and let the owners enjoy their own fun and are the colored people should aim to pick up, those of whom these plays are to pull down and I am very sure that this is a lost object fooling a way good money to bother with The Birth of the Nation. If higher learning of nations call for these plays, let them have and have them alone and every living soul of the colored race should stay far off from them. Also, too much time is already lost bothering with those whose only object is to show the world how much displeased are some of the people against some of the people. While hardship and long suffering under slavery kings, are now rewarded by the Birth of the Nation and other reflecting untimely plays and those of the race who go to see these plays are helping to make bad matters worse.

To secure best results the charge should be placed in the soil well under the base of the stump at the point where the resistance offered to the force of the explosion will be equal on all sides. Where the soil is of a heavy clay or plastic nature a slow acting powder is preferable, such as farm powder or cumping powder. Where the earth is sand or loose and is apt to permit the easy escape of gases a fast expulsion such as 40 to 92 per cent dyna should be used.

Thus, instead of spreading out and embracing monocultures, vertical farming enables the farmer to really concentrate and by intensive methods conserves in both labor and expense. At the same time the resulting increase in crop emphasizes the profitable features of the process. And there is practical reason for this.

Two stumps of the same size, kind and age of cut, when one is grown on well drained soil where the roots must penetrate a great depth for water and the other is grown on soil where there is always water near the surface, will demand different treatment for extraction. The older stumps, especially if from timber free from resin, requite less powder. The exact amount necessary for set conditions can, however, be readily determined with a little experimenting. New tools and supplies are required. A one and one-half inch wood anger with a shank about four and one-half foot long, a medium size crowbar, a pointed polished shovel and a wooden tumping stick, together with the powder, fuse and caps, will serve to fill the bill. Bigger Crops ant Factor to Greater ends. of the lower soils are released and utilized. A reservoir for the storage of water is created, and a good home for the roots is produced. Good roots are essential to good plants. Men who look below the surface realize these facts. They know also that a plant produces only in proportion to the extent of air, water and nourishment given its roots. Thus is the new method of vertical farming both logical and profitable. This method of learning vertically is on itself easy, simple and labor saving. A half cartridge charge of farm power, plated well down into the tight school at intervals of about a rod, is put properly and neat carefully to do the work quickly and economically. Subsonic heating however, can be done successfully easily when the subsoil is dry. few tools are required for the work. AN UNPROFITABLE STUMP COVERED FIELD ONE MORE OUT OF THE WAY TEN MONTHS AFTER $800 WORTH OF CEELEY PER ACRE REPUBLICANS SWEEP MASSACHUSETTS Elect Governor and the Entire State Ticket. Boston, Nov. 3.—Samuel W. McCall Republican, was elected governor of Massachusetts by 12,000 plurality over Governor Walsh, Democrat. The entire Republican state ticket was elected. The legislature shows gains for the Republicans in both branches. The Progressive party (failed, to cast three per cent. of the total vote for governor, and by law will not have a place at next year's ballot. The suffrage movement was debated. --- about two to one. The success of Mr. McCall restores Massachusetts to the Republican column, the Democrats having held the governorship for five successive years. Governor Walsh ran ahead of his ticket throughout the state, his vote showing a gain of about eight, per cent, over a year ago, but that of Mr. McCall was better by about thirty per cent. In Boston, Governor Walsh had a smaller plurality that last fall, his vote being only about 21,000 ahead of Mr. McCall, compared with a plurality of 25,000. Instead of the Democratic stronghold piling up a trumpet lead for the party nominee, as he had been promised by the leaders, it is clear that he was badly lied. This was undoubtedly due to the two two, two of which have been in the race with his election mate and the real battle that there have been harder under the national and state Cotterill College, of Northampton, Reinstein was elected Heurantian governor in the first opponent. Ed ward W. Hyman, governor, being badly warned. The other state officers were the following: Repub- lian borough officials, Secretary of State Albert W. Hyman, Treasurer Charles L. B. Russell, Attorney General Henry C. Auld. The anti-suffragette estimate that they caused the movement by 100, 600 votes. Returns from more than two-thirds of the cities and towns showed the ratio to have been about two to one against giving women the ballot. CALIF.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1913 SIXTH ANNUAL FAIR OF THE ST PAL L FARMERS CONFERENCE, --- St. Paul Normal and Industrial School, Lawrence, Ariz., is a national bar of the University of Arizona. Construction of the colored farmhouse and workroom Brunswick County, which develops energies and elicits to the moral mental and material improvement of the colored people of the county, was held here yesterday. The president of the conference is Arch deacon Russell, Principal of St. Paul Normal and Industrial School, whose great work in helping the Negroes of this county to become good citizens is well known. The Fair, next to the annual session of the Conference, is the event of the year, people coming to it from all parts of the county and adopting counties. The fair offers no prizes other than ribbons, as the affair is not a money-making business, has no entrance fees or exhibit charms, being held only for encouragement and education. With the exhibit of farm products and other features is also an exhibit of the canning clubs and other industrial cultures of the public schools. The exhibits were in the basement of the new Long Island Building of the School and were highly creditable. In variety, excellence and number, the exhibits surpassed all former fairs. There were eight main sections, comprising agril-culture, animals and live stock, poultry and eggs, dairy products, home arts, home made manufactures, plaid and fancy sewing and curios. The public school exhibit was composed of cookery exhibits, canned fruit and vegetables, preserved fruit, home arts and manual training. The sections were well filled and the various specimens very creditable. Some things deserve special mention. The canning and preserving sections were especially excellent, enstituting a splendid variety of fruit of all kinds, also peas, beans, snaps. Preserves of all kinds were on exhibit, including even preserved ripe watermelon. The agricultural section showed splendid wheat, corn and vegetable besides the staple; tobacco and cotton. Among the unusual articles were several hand knitted shawls, infant set crochet slippers and other hand work done by an inmate of the Central Hospital, Petersburg, Va. There were also a cabinet with carving knife and fork, watch fob and chain and a miniature toilet set, all done by hand by one of the lovers in the painting division of St. Paul's School. The showing made by the public schools of caused and preserves goods, manual training, cooking, sewing, bread, cake, pie, dress, dress work, rugs, rustic chairs, and many other articles were excellent. A spoken program was rendered at 11:30 A.M. and 2 P.M. singing by the School Jubilee chorus, Choir and Glory Choir. Music by the band and singing by the public schools, and addresses conferred the program. Answer those who spoke were the Rev. A P Gray Sr. Former Cooperman Turrell Mrs. A G Gillert, Hampton Institute Architectural Department, Mr. D. H. Sizer, County Farm Demonstrator and Rev. N T Cooper and President Russell, all made helpful and interesting addresses. Former Cooperman Turnbull was the principal speaker. His was a heart to heart talk with his colored friends, he declared, many of whom he had known for years. He expressed his pride and pleasure at the efforts they were making to help themselves, referred to the willingness of the white people to help them and said he was glad they were beginning to understand each other better, and that the colored people were realizing that their best friends were those among whom they lived and worked. Prolonged applause greeted this statement and also the Instance he mentioned as to the alleged estrangement between the Negro and his former master. He told how the slaves of his father came to him after the war asking to be allowed to remain. His father told them he had nothing to give them, but if they were willing to stay and to work he would look out for them, and pay them as best he could. The former Congressman had always been a staunch friend of the Negro and his helpful, sympathetic and fatherly address was received with the greatest enthusiasm. Quite one thousand people were in attendance. Buy The Planet every Saturday at William's Soda Fountain, 1906 Hull street, South Richmond. CARRIED SAFE THREE DAYS Paris, November 7. The first and only trooper of the Turcos, of French black troops from Senegal and Algeria, to receive the Legion of Honor from the French government is a thick, coal-black, middle-aged infantryman, who went through one of the queer experiences of the war. While operations were active at the front a short time ago, it was determined to fall back from a given point, and this Turcos was given a small steel safe contain. 50,000 francs in government funds to carry back to the new position. He was given a donkey and started off with the safe and treasure. Suddenly, however, all the plans of removal were interrupted by a German raid, which swept the Turcos and all other troops, with their horses and supplies, into the utmost confusion. Many were killed, and the whole force was badly scattered. It was taken for granted that the Turco with the safe and treasure was certainly lost, as even those not burdened with heavy loads had been swept away in the impotent raid. Some days later the French outposts were astonished to have the Turco, with the safe on his back, trudge into camp. His donkey had been killed, and for three days he had been inside the German lines, carrying the safe. He never had let go of it. When the Turco lines were swept into confusion by the machine gun fire he first lost his donkey, and then, with his safe, crept under some business. The German lines rushed past his hiding place, and he was left behind the lines. He kept concealed during the day and at night, with the safe on his back, picked his way forward through the German rear guard to some hiding place. This was kept up after it last be trudged into the Front camp and laid down the safe and treasure before the second column. They gave it to the commander, Hector, and it was drawn up as he received it from the treasure of the power he gave him. The safe was hidden here, but the back face was (1) COLORFED CHILDREN BURNED TO DEATH. Nottoway, Va. N. N. S.

Johnson and Scott are poor but re spectable colored people living near Nottoway. The fire is supposed to have caught from the roof and fallen in before waking the children. The four older children were at their grandfather's house, close by, where their mother was tracing. There was no insurance. The father was badly burned in an effort to save his children. The charred remains of the little ones were wrapped up with a shovel and put into a box and burried Sunday afternoon near the home. (Birmingham, (Ala.)

HIGER EDUCATION LETTER A unique feature in higher education in the United States is the Graduate School of Agriculture hold every second summer by the Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations. It has its origin in a demand from instructors in agricultural colleges and workers in agricultural experiment stations who felt the need of reviewing and studying the more recent developments in natural, social, and economic sciences applied to agriculture, as well as in the technical branches of agriculture, under the guidance and with the assistance of those able to deal efficiently with such problems. At the time the school was in- urated there was little opportunity in the United States for advanced study in these subjects. The condition, however, have changed and systematic graduate courses are now offered in several of the leading agricultural colleges. The need for advanced as- scientific courses in agrivoltaic sciences is therefore largely provided; however, there is need for an institution such as the Graduate School of Agriculture which furnishes short, many sided conferential at- tacks upon fundamental and special problems of agriculture by the leading specialists both in the United States and abroad. The school is in session for four weeks; during that time courses are given on various phases of advanced agricultural science, agricultural economics, and rural sociology. Each course consists of 20 lectures and 20 seminars. Each course usually divided into four distinct parts given in the four different weeks of the school and each by a specialist in his subject. Many prominent and learned men have been members of the faculties: Zuntz, Hall, von Tachharmak, Ewart, Russell, Marshall, and Durbil, shire, from European countries, have been on faculties in past years Mendel, Melbougal, Castle, Dugkar, Riddle, Sherman, Carver, East, and Harris, from institutions not primarily agricultural in purpose, have been included also. In addition to these, nearly all of the men in agricultural colleges in the United States known as specialists on various phases of agricultural work have taken part. The Graduate School brings together at each session from 100 to 200 men and women from the faculties of the agricultural colleges, from experiment, stations, and agricultural and rural workers of various kind, for four weeks of very serious discussion with each other and with the special lecturers on problems connected with advanced work in agriculture. It has proved to be a valuable institution for exchange or advanced thought in these fields and will probably hold its place for many years to come in spite of the addition of assemale agricultural graduate courses in regular institutions. The Graduate School is under the immediate charge of the Committee on Graduate Study of the Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations Dr A. P. True, Director of the States Relative Service of the United States Department of Agriculture has noted as早就 since the establishment The first session was held at the other State University in 1902, other sessions have been held at the University of Illinois (1906), Dernell University (1908), Iowa State College (1910), Michigan Agricultural College (1912), University of Missouri (1914). The fourth session will be held at the Massachusetts Agricultural College from July 28, 1916. The three courses to be emphasized are: 1. Factors of growth of plants and animals. 2. Educational problems of intensive agriculture including agronomy, botany and dairy husbandry. 3. Agricultural economics and rural economy. This latter course is to be especially emphasized, in addition to the courses given in the Graduate School are other, even in the regular summer school conducted by the college. HAMPTON DEFEATS UNION. It immediately existing game, the elec- tion of Hampton N. and I. de- lared that of Virginia Union Uni- versity, the score of 136 on the latter's campus last Saturday. Union's team was a crippled one, four of the regulars having received injuries in the Howard contest the previous week. This impediment forced her to fight almost wholly on the defense, her offense was pitifully weak. On the other hand the Hampton aggre- gation was a new and vendant one. Several fumbles were made, which in a game with a more formidable opponent would have resulted ac- cordingly. Not once during the contest did Union become dangerous, as they never got nearer the goal than their 10 yard line. But the toughest flights of the game were evidenced whenever Hampton attempted a touchdown. The best example of this occurred in the beginning of the first quarter, when Hampton covered the ball on a fumble by Hulcs' car her 15 yard line. Here Union dodgedly held her opponents for eight downs, when Union finally got possession. Hulcs relieved the struggle by a long punt down field. Hampton really did not deserve a single touchdown and the score should have been n. 0-0 tie. This it was until the last six minutes of the third quarter, when Wright allowed a comparatively easy end run pass him without molestation. Once past him, the Hampton formation rushed diagonally across the field, dodged the secondary defense and made the touch down. It was precisely the same stunt Howard used on the same end on the 30th. This error seemed to have discouraged the entire team, for from there, they played a listless and inert game. In the last quarter, nearly all the Hampton gains were netted thru forward passes neatly executed by Atkins and Gayle. Huclos succeeded in breaking up several of these, but the last and most costly of all, Gayle captured behind the uprights for the second touchdown. Gayle: Atkins and Dorsey's playing attracted considerable attention. The first two in forward passes, Dorsey, in his gains along the line.

HOPES FOR VICTORY First Game Here in Four Years. The strong and versatile corps of Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute opens up engagement with the varsity of Virginia Union University on next Saturday. This contest which is staged at 2:30 P.M. in Hovey Field, will be the first between these schools played here in four years. Since the beginning of grid iron history at Union, the annual game with Petersburg was considered the event of the year; taking precedent in popularity even over the larger schools. Hampton and Howard. The proximity of the institutions, the large number of alumni from both, and the evenly matched teams, caused this friendly athletic rivalry. Union defeated St. Paul by the score 29-0; Petersburg blanked the same team 12-0. If judgment is permitted from a comparison of these scores, the contest should be a very close and exciting one. Petersburg seems confident of victory, the thought of which is a source of derision to Union. 0 A GOOD PLACE FOR A GOOD WOMAN A Clean, Industrious, Middle-aged, Intelligent, Unmarried Woman, who is a first-class cook, can secure a position as cook in an institution by writing, THE PRESIDENT, The National Training School for Women and Girls, Lincoln Heights, Washington, D.
