NET EDITOR MITCHELL TRAVELS Methodist Church Troubles—The San Diego Exposition—Colored Cook as a Gardener—A Panoramic View—Amazing Condition. I vaulted into Mr. R. C. Owens' automobile that night. His family was with us. I found the spacious, modern church packed from the rostrum to the doors. It is located at the corner of 8th and San Julion Streets. The occasion was inspiring, for there was a great contention in the First A. M. E. Church and the former pastor had decided to preach at this church, which is known as the Wesley M. E. Church. AN ENTHUSIASTIC GATHERING Rev. E. W. Kinchen, the able pastor, had given Rev. an opportunity to speak to the members of the A. M. E. Church, who had flocked to hear him. The congregation of the A. M. E. Church would not accept Rev. F. Jesse Peck, the pastor designated by Bishop Parks to take charge of the church and had openly defied him, locking the doors of the church against his appointee. There were hot times in Zion. I found myself in the midst of the turmoil. PRESIDING ELDER POWERLESS. Rev. J. H. Wilson, the presiding elder, seemed to be absolutely powerless in the matter. I was called upon to speak, and I spoke. I went from the church to the Owens' residence and then to the train, for I had found out that I could take the sleeper for San Diego, California, spend the day there and be back in Los Angeles Monday afternoon, at about six o'clock. When I arrived there, I soon made arrangements for the short journey, which would take only about two hours time. IN THE WRONG BERTH. Passengers were permitted to remain on the sleeper until 7 A. M. A long line of cars were there. Finally I was located. The porter showed me to the berth. There was some consternation when he said, "This berth is occupied." He aroused the sleeping white, passenger. An examination of his berth check showed that he was in the wrong car. He had been sleeping peacefully in the berth for which I had paid. The porter began to think. HAD NO OBJECTION "If you have no objection, sir, as he has gone to bed I will take you to the berth in the other car." As it was only a case of swapping berth, I readily consented and a few minutes thereafter, I was in "the land of Nod." When I awoke the next morning, there was no moving train, no noise, no commotion of any kind and I soon was in the laboratory, preparing to see the sights of a city of which I had heard much and had seen little. PARTED WITH THE OVERCOAT I went into the railway station. I was a neat affair. My overcoat was more a burden than a blessing, and I parted with ten coins to have it checked. When I went up the main street to see the sights of a city in which I had come unknown and unheralded. A colored man had hailed me and he had put into my hand a card telling about an eating house, operated by colored folks for colored folks. But I was not hungry and I soon reached the business section of the city. FEW COLORED FOLKS THERE. After having left such an attractive city in Los Angeles, there was little to attract my attention in San Diego. It is near the extreme south-western portion of the United States and only about fifteen miles from the Mexican border. I went to the wharves here and saw many ships. I saw some colored men, but they were few, and they appeared to belong to the good-time crowd. They partook of the nature and characteristics of crayfish, so well-known in the States. everybody seemed to be attending to their own business. I saw no school classes or churches for colored folks. THE SAN DIEGO EXPOSITION. We walked until I got tired and then thought it would be a good idea to go to the Exposition Grounds. A branch of the Panama Expositor was being operated here. Upon arrival, I was told which street we were and I took it, arriving at the entrance to the southern California exposition. Once inside, I found that the buildings had not been opened and so I strolled to the outskirts of the grounds, where I saw the Burbank Garden. A COOK AS A GARDENER. A colored man was watering the flowers. I spoke to him and soon became engaged in conversation with (Continued on Eighth Page.) MR. BOOKER SECURES A HIGH RATING AS A DIVER. Sergeant W. C.

Buckner, Va., Jan. 25, 1916, Editor of The Planet: Much has been said in the columns of your great paper, respecting the successor to Dr. Booker T. Washington and as to whether or not the gentleman, who is to succeed him as President of Tuskegee Institute is to succeed him as leader of the Negro race. To my mind, the first thing to be decided is whether or not Dr. Washington was the leader of the Negro race. No one can deny the fact, that he was a great man. Great, because he had convictions of his own and stuck to them. Great, because he had the ability to thunk and to put said thoughts into actions. The great school, Tuskegee Institute, will ever stand as a monument to his greatness. But to argue that he was the leader of ten million Negroes, to my way of thinking, is absurd. First, because among these ten million Negroes, there are men, who like Dr. Washington, have their convictions, and reserve the right to stand by them. In the next place, I fail to see why anyone should seem to be so much disturbed about selecting a leader for the Negroes any more than for any other race. I grant that like all other races, we need men, who are leaders along their particular line, as Dr. Washington was along his line, or in his chosen field. A POINTED QUESTION Does any one pose as the leader of the white race. They have political leaders, leaders of business, religious leaders and the like, but not even Mr. Bryan, Mr. Wilson or ex-President Roosevelt. I think would claim to be the leader of the white people in this country. Then how could any one man be a leader of all the Negroes? To be a leader of a people must mean that a majority of those people are following said leader and in this race of ours, we have men of such varied opinions—from the man who believes in the highest attainments for the Negro to the man who doesn't believe that a Negro's corn will ever grow unless, some white man may chance to pronounce a blessing upon it. Can any one man harmonize all of these differences and have them all follow him? When it comes to conservation, I have observed that a real man, he be white or otherwise, living in the North or South, will respect a Negro in proportion as that Negro believes in himself and whether he admits it or not, all real men, down in their hearts respect other real men. Theother we, as Negroes, learn this the better for us as individuals and a race. Hoping that the question of appointing a leader for the Negroes will not worry any one except leaders along certain chosen lines, I beg to remain. BANKING OPTORTUNITIES IN SOUTH AMERICA. Washington, D. C., Jan. 25, 1916. If you are engaged in the banking business you are interested in the establishment of American banks in South America and you are therefore in a position to appreciate the value of "Banking Opportunities in South America," just issued by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. This report was prepared by William H. Lough, a well-known New York banking authority, and is based on his personal investigations in South America. It is the most up-to-date work of its kind, and it is above all practical. You won't have to wake through pages of theorizing that you could have written yourself without moving out of your office. You will be glad to hear that Mr. Lough is rather optimistic about the prospects of establishing banks in South America. He thinks there are opportunities for many more American banks down there, if they are properly established and managed. As a banker you will appreciate his views of proper management. The booklet is being distributed, at the nominal price of 20 cents by the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, and by the District Offices of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. It is designated Special Agents Series No. 108. WANTED—ambitious agents to sell THE MEMORIAL EDITION OF BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Write at once for information STANDARD SALES CO. 112 Parkwood Street, Philadelphia WESTON—COLLINS One of the prattlest and most elaborate weddings that the elite of Eastville has ever witnessed occurred Saturday evening, January 29, in Eastville Baptist Church, when Miss Bessie Collins, the popular and accomplished daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Southey Collins, became the bride of Mr. Benjamin D. Weston, formerly of Darlington, S. C., now residing in Philadelphia. He is a graduate of Hampton Normal Institute and now a small clerk in Philadelphia. Promptly nt 7:30, to the strains of Loghern wedding march, sweetly played by Mrs. Bossie Coston, accompanied by Mias Olga Carter, of Norfolk Va., and Mr. Cleveland Thomas. The bridal party entered the church. The bride was beautifully gowned in white brocade satin trimmed with pearls and valencene lace. The vell was daintly caught with sprays of orange blossoms. Mrs. Della White, of Darlington, S. C., sister of the groom, acted matriarch of honor. She wore a lovely gown of poach satin mossaline trimmed in silver head net. The bridesmaids were Misses Joana Whitted, of Philadelphia, Pa.; Edna, Collins, of Keneil Grove, Va., and Besale Whitted, of Greenboro, N. C. Miss Joana Whitted was gowned in blue silk trimmed with sprays of Rosebuds and valance Miss Edna Collins was gowned in plush taffetta with shadow lace. Miss Bess A Whitted was a blue satin trimmed with rosebuds and shadow lace. Miss Olga Carter was dressed in canary charmeuse trimmed with flat lace. The ushers were Mr. Augustus Digges of Philadelphia, Pa.; Mr. Nelson Notingham, of Cape Charles, and Mr. Amoon Turner, of Bridgetown, Va. The best man was Mr. James S. Glimore of Philadelphia, Pa. The two flower-girls, train bearer, and ring bearer were well dressed and acted their parts well. Miss Carter rendered a violin selection during the ceremony. The bride comes from one of the oldest and most respected families of Eastville. She is a graduate of Norfolk Mission College. She was for three years supervisor of schools in Hunterville, N. C., and has been engaged in teaching Domestic Science at Dowlington Institution Pennsylvania for the past three years. After the ceremony the bridal party went to the bride's home where they were congratulated by many guests who attended the reception. The presents were many and they were very valuable. They estimated to about three hundred dollars in value. The bridal party left January 30th for 1009 Eichhild Avenue, Philadelphia, their future home. We wish them much joy. Marriage Announcement.

Welfare League Whips Union The Richmond Negro Welfare League quint defected that of Virginia Union University last Saturday evening by the score of 20-17. The match was played before a large and appreciative audience at Johnson's Auditorium. Union played under a disadvantage through every stage of the game. With heavier and taller opponents, she was compelled to play almost entirely on the defensal. The team work of the city aggregation was much in evidence. Shelton was designated to look out for the welfare of the Welfare quint, in respect to goal throwing. In this, he succeeded, with a little too much efficiency for Union's comfort. Moore and Walker also deserve especial notice for their excellent work in guard. The line-up: Welfare—Shelton, c; Harris, l. g.; Moore, r. g.; Johnson, r. f. Walker, l. f. Union—Taylor, c; Hall, l. g. Gregory, r. f.; Hucas, l. f.; Tolson, r. g. IS WAYNE SATISFIED? Have the law-abiding citizens of Wayne County made sure of their ground? Are they certain that they exhausted all other means of keeping their county in order before allowing a resort to lynch law? For after all it is the good citizens who are responsible; the raygad and bobtail may have fastened the rope and fired the shots, but they would not have done it had they not known that they were safe from the wrath of the best element. It is a fearful thing for the trees of any county to bear such fruits. Everybody admits that, but the better element in Wayne seems inclined to shrug its shoulders and dismiss the lynching as a necessary evil. Is it no certain? Remember this, people of Wayne- lynch law is the most powerful narcotic than can be injected into the body politic. It is a habit-forming drug of the most tremendous potency. We began the habit here in the south as an alleviation for the most exquisite agony that can rack the perseys of a sensitive people—the outgrowing one of our daughters. That was the commonwealth's angina pectoris, "the pain" at the heart? to relieve which we thought no drug too strong. But look. Already we are taking it for more murder, murder of a man, at that—in the eyes of every decent man a far less infamous crime. In Charlotte we took a done for assault with intent to kill. Every indulgence weakens our power of resistance. How long will it be before we are in the condition of Alabama, for instance? There they resort to lynch law when their mules are poisoned. They are slaves of the drug. But aside from the sapping of our moral strength can you people of Wayne believe that lynching does any permanent good? Look at South Carolina, where the habit flourishes. Her homelife record is worse even than our own fearful one. Look at the effect on the Negroes. It makes no difference how good a black man's record may be, nor how earnestly he may have striven to make himself a credit, instead of a menace to the state, let unanticipated evidence paint strongly toward him and he is at the mercy of the mob. Every Negro knows that, is it any wonder they hang together? Let the white men of Wayne consider this. If Richard's had been a white man and one of them knew his hiding place, and if the Wayne County man knew that by speaking one word he could deliver the fugitive to such a fate as Richards met, would he speak that word? That is what the law adding Negro of Wayne, and every other county where lynching is the fashion, is up against. While lynching is in no way how can we expect him to lend active support to the law. The people of Wayne claim that they have been severely tried. Those who condone the lynching say that it was a case of the people taking the administration of justice out of the hands of the courts where they, their selves, had placed it, because the courts had so often failed in their duty. They seem to think that if the courts had sent the murderer of Beatty to the electric chair, the murder of Gurley would never have occurred, consequently, the lynching would not have been necessary. If that is true the courts are at least as much to blame as the dead Negro, and the work of the mob is incomplete. Judge, lawyers and jury should have received its attention before Richards. If lynching can hold one element of the population in order it should be equally effective on all. If it can scare Negroes into obedience to the law, why cannot it also genre juries and judges and lawyers into doing their duty? The difference is that there is an element of danger in lynching white men. White men have friends, powerful defenders. Negroes are at our mercy. Therefore we will string up guilty Negroes and shoot their bodies into dripping shreds. But we will how and scrape to guilty white men, and allow them to hold positions of trust and profit, because, were we to lay a finger on them, our own skins might be in danger. A sentiment worthy of a brave and chivalrous race! The men of Wayne may not look on it that way, but they may rest assured that that is the attitude of the rest of the world. Lynching Negroes because white courts have failed to discharge their duty is the quintessence of cowardice; and cowardice is the mother of injustice, as well as cruelty. Richards may have deserved, doubtless did deserve, his fate. But surely Wayne County does not deserve that stifra.—Greensboro (N. C.) Dally News. HUSBAND WANTED!

FEB 7 1916 CAMBRIDGE PRICE, FIVE CENTS There are two rather remarkable paper carriers in this city. One is "Tom" Byrd, who is blind, but who makes his way through the streets of the city in all kinds of weather. Kind-hearted people make him presents of clothing and shoes to shield him from the winter's cold, and he makes his money selling the daily and weekly papers. The Planet is a favorite with him and he has it read, in order that he may be able to tell his customers just what it contains. The other one is J. I. Robinson, who has succeeded in securing something of a monopoly in handling the Times-Dispatch. He has but one good arm and hand and he drives sometimes a mule and sometimes a horse. Both animals move with almost human intelligence from one side of the street to the other as Mr. Robinson throws the papers at the doors of his many customers. In speaking to him about it, he said that it takes about six weeks to train an animal and something more than a year to train a boy to do about the same thing. We wager that no two armed man can handle as many papers in a given length of time as this remarkable paper carrier for the Times-Dispatch. Harris' Hall No More The old structure, known for many years as "Harris' Hall," is now being torn down to make way for a garage to be erected by Mr. John B. Billy. It is located at 412 N. Third Street. It was used for years as the Women's League Training School and Hospital. A Birthday Party Mr. Charles Robinson, of 215 Nass 17th Street, South Richmond, celebrated his birthday Friday night, 25th nit. His many gentlemen friends gathered at about 8:30 o'clock and a grand time was had. Minor parlor games wore the pastime of the evening. Hoffmanonte, both "dry and wet" were served abundantly and the song, "We Won't Get Home till Morning," was heard from many of the old boys. --- DEAN MOORE LECTURER AT VIRGINIA UNION Prof L. B.

BANK, GINIA BOARD OF DIRECTORS John Mitchell, Jr. Thomas M. Crump R. W. Whiting John T. Taylor Thomas Smith A. D. Price W. F. Graham E. R. Jefferson J. J. Carter 1 SYNOPSIS. Mary Page, actress, is accused of the murder of James Pollack and is defended by her lover, Phillip Langdon. Pollack is implicated. Shale, a crick and tool of Pollack, on the fire escape watching for Langdon. THE DRAMA OF THE LAW WITH the entrance of the judge the turnout of the vast crowd that filled the courtroom almost to suffocation subaided into a tense whisper of expectancy. The atmosphere was vibrant with it—faced as a violin string which snapped and brought the throng surging wildly to its feet when some one shrieled: "Here she comes!" At the back of the room men and women fought in a frenzy for foothold upon the seats of chairs, drowning the thunder of the judge's gavel with their clamorous hysteria, while those nearer the front were flung bodily against the steady wait of police beyond which stood Mary Page, framed by the grim shadow of the prisoner's door. Mary was waiting, breathless, terrified, for "some one" to come. The judge looked at his watch and then at THE FEDERAL MARSHALS Mary Stretched Out One Slim Hand. the door, and another whispering wave of sound too intangible to be called words swept over the room. Almost before it died, however, Philip Langdon, the brilliant young lawyer who was defending Mary Page from the charge of murder and who in his battle for her life was also battling for his own happiness, came in. At sight of him Mary rose to her feet with a little childlike sob of relief and stretched out one slim hand with a quivering smile that was more polignant than tears and more pittiful than an outburst of grief. "Poor little thing!" said some one and was instantly hushed by a burly policeman whose own eyes were suspiciously damp as Langdon, with a smile as brave as Mary's own, took her hand and bent over her with a whispered word of hope and greeting. The judge rapped for order, and Langdon put back his shoulders with the gesture of one ready for the battle. Another day in the great trial of Mary Page had begun! It was a trial which was engrossing the whole country. The victories and defeats of the great war and the fluctuations of Wall street were unceremoniously thrust into inside pages of the daily, papers that the whole front sheet might be devoted to photograph after photograph and story after story of the lovely young actress, who was either a tragic victim of the law or—a murderess. Column after column had already been printed about this young girl, who on the very edge of triumph as a star had been sucked into the malestrom of law beneath the shadow of the gallows. The story of her youth amid poverty and suffering, of her first stage success and her wonderful ability, had been told over and over, while woven through it, like a shimmering thread of gold, was the story, half hinted, half bodily detailed, of the love of Philip Langton for Mary, whom he was now defending in the face of overwhelming evidence and inexplicable mystery. There were stories, too—more guarded of James Pollock, who had been dead with Mary's unconscioned form on the floor beside him—stories that hinted at a dissolute life and of other girls whom he had led to tragic dry, mortars of his wealth, his strange ambitions and his life of glided ease, but at best in the eyes of the world, he was only a lay figure—a bit of denim cloth which being the vibrant living tragedy of Mary herself. The journal routine of the opening of court was hurriedly gone through. The court attorney and London habit had all spent college with us. The Strange Case of MARY PAGE The Great McClure Mystery Story, Written by FREDERICK LEWIS In Collaboration With JOHN T. M'INTYRD, Author of the Ashton Kirk Detective Stories Read the Story and See the Bizarre Moving Pictures Judge, and then the first witness of the day was called. "Mary Page" At the sound of her name Mary rose unsteadily to her feet, her eyes turned appealingly to Langdon, one trembling hand crushing back the little cry that rosa involuntarily to her lips. But HER agitation was no more than an echo of the excitement that swept through the crowded room. Somewhere, a woman caught her breath in a stifled sob, and at the back the spectators clambered upon their chains, crowding forward in spite of angry whispers of "Sit down!" and the sharp rap of the judge's gavel augmented by the official, "Order in the court." To Langdon alone the calling of Mary came as no surprise, and he was at her side in a moment, whispering reassurance and urging her to answer as simply and clearly as possible the questions she was asked. His calm gave her back some measure of her own serenity, and her voice was low but clear as she took the oath and, stepping up into the witness stand, looked down upon that sea of faces. For a moment they swam before her eyes, and with a catch in her throat she remembered the last time she had looked down upon crowded faces; looked down across the footlights upon thousands of smiling lips and friendly eyes above a snowstorm of applauding white gloves. How long ago it seemed, and yet how short a time! And now the faces that stared up at her were void with curiosity, some hostile, some sympathetic, but all palied with the cornicity of the sensation secker. Then her eyes, traveling beyond them, met the tear dimmed ones of her mother cleaning forward yearningly from the witness bench, and because of the suffering on that face Mary smiled. Her first answers to the questions of the District Attorney were spoken with quiet dignity. "Miss Puge, isn't it true that James Pollock wished to marry you?" "Yes." The answer was lower now, and a hot flush crept for a moment into Mary's pale cheeks. "And you found his attention unwelcome?" Something in the tone brought her head up sharply. "I had told Mr. Pollock that I could not marry him," she said firmly, and with a hauteur that wrong a little whisper of admiration from the spectators. Abruptly the prosecutor changed his train of questioning. "Now, Miss Page," he said harshly, "please tell the court exactly what happened just previous to the time when the resolver was heart and Mr. Langdon found you unconscious beside the murdered man. Begin with the moment you left the banquet." With a sliver of attention Mary closed her eyes for a second; then, gripping the edge of the witness stand, she began speaking slowly and with an obvious effort. "When the boy brought me the message—I was glad to go. They were drinking and were very noisy at the banquet—and I was tired. The boy meed the door of the suite, and I went in." She paused and covered her eyes as if to shut out something terrible that she saw. "Mr. Pollock was in the room," she said at it. "He he had been drinking—he wasn't himself—the could hardly stand. He—he said he wanted to talk to me alone for five minutes—and he wouldn't let me out, though I was afraid and begged him to." "Did you try to get out? Was there a struggle between you and Mr. Pollock?" She shook her head. "Not then," she said, with a little sob. "But—I was very angry—I told him he had tricked me—and I wouldn't listen to him. We—we quarreled over his being drunk, and—be tried to make me take a drink of the whiskey myself." A shudder of repugnance swept over her, and her eyes grew wide and staring, and she aided for a moment like a flower in a storm; then, with a tremendous effort, as one called back from the borderland to consciousness, she added horrily: "I remember striking at him—and knocking the glass out of his hand. I heard it break—and then—I must have fainted!" "Miss Page," came still another question, "if you had refused James Pollock—if you feared him—why did you grant him an interview late at night in a private room at the hotel?" "Grant him an interview," her voice rose in startled protest. "I didn't. That was why I was so angry—I had expected to and Mr. Langdon in that room!" "Oh! You had made arrangements then to meet Mr. Langdon there? Again the satiric note crept into the harbah voice, and a crimson tide rushed to Mary's pale cheeks. "The boy told me," she said with dignity, "that Mr. Langdon was waiting to speak to me. I thought he had come to take me home." "The boy—what boy?" The question leapt sharply now. "Why, the bellboy who brought the message," she said in surprise, and, turning, pointed toward the group of witnesses where the small bellboy covered, half covering his face with his shaking hands. For the message at least every eye gaze upon him, and some of the bellboy THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Copyright, 1915, by McClure Publication My vanished from those watching faces as a wave of surprised comment slipped from lip to lip. For after all, if Mary Page had indeed gone into that room expecting Lamdon and not Hollock, it roiled the murder of the infamy of cool deliberation. Mary herself was both surprised and confused by the sudden turn of events and, dismissed from the witness-box, returned to her own seat bewildered at the seeming importance attached to what had heretofore appeared so small a detail. But it was anything but small in the eyes of the district Attorney and Langton, and there was a gleam of triumph in the latter's eyes as the whimpering boy from the hotel took the oath. Before he went into the witness-box, however, the judge leaned forward and frowned down at him. "Do you understand, Joe," he said harbly, "that what you have just taken is an oath? And that the law can put you into prison for perjury if you do not tell the exact truth after taking that oath?" "Y—Yes, sir," stammered the boy. "I tell the truth, help me Gawd." Light laughter ran through the room, but the court attendant immediately called for order. "Tell us exactly what message you carried to Miss Page in the banquet room," said the District Attorney, when quiet reigned. "It was Miss Page you took the message to, wasn't it?" "Yes, sir. It was her. And the gent in the gray suit he says, 'Tell Miss Page Mr. Landon wants to see her here at once.'" "And you delivered the message just that way to Miss Page?" "Yes, sir." "Why didn't you testify to this at the Coroner's request? It was the judge this time, stern and impacable, and the boy in the witness box ringed and burst into tears. "They they—n never asked me wet the message was I was taken' to her. I—I didn't think it mattered." With an exclamation of exasperation the prosecutor sat down, turning the email witness over to Langdon, into whose tired face fresh hope had now come. His voice, as he spoke to the boy, was gentle and friendly, and the snuffling had widened his eyes with the back 1930 "Do you understand, Joe, that what you have just taken is an oath?" of his hand answered him eagerly. He soaked glad to find someone who didn't frighten him. "Joe," said Langdon, his voke full of kindness, "that night wasn't the first time you had seen Mr. Pollock, was it?" "No, sir," said the boy in his whirl young voice. "Everybody knew James Pollock at the Republic. He came there a lot—him and Mr. Slade." "And he was pretty generous in his tips, wasn't he?" The question was quiet, and the District Attorney, who had made a move to interrupt, sank back without speaking as the boy answered: "Oh, so so! He could afford to be." "And so, on the night when he asked you to take that message to Miss Page, he gave you a good tip, didn't he?" "Yes," said the boy, beginning to whimper again. "But I didn't do it for that. I didn't think there was any harm in the message. He says to me, says he, 'It's just a joke I'm playin' on her, Jon, he says, 'I want to fool her.' And he gimme five dollars—and laughed—and told me to beat it—and I did." "That is all, I think," said Langdon with satisfaction, and the boy crept back to the witness-bench, striving in vain for some of the jaunty assurance that had marked him in the earlier hours of the day. He had thought he would be a little hero after his testimony and that he would enjoy the feeling publicity; but he was ashamed of the laugh he had made. The prosecutor himself was almost equally discomfited, for it had been his plan to build up stone by stone a towering temple of evidence to prove that Mary Page had in cold blood plotted and carried out the murder of James Pellock, and now the boy's testimony had in a minute undermined the whole structure. It forced him to play his trump card at what he feared was the wrong moment, but except for a harrow sound he showed little sign of his disgagement as he again called Mary to the witness stand. THE MUSICIAN "Have you ever seen this receiver be - fores, Miss Page?" "Have you ever seen this revolver before, Miss Page?" She came more willingly this time it seemed somehow less of an ordon for she seemed that things had gone in her favor for a moment, and she did not even clink when, with a flourish, the District Attorney took up the revolver (lying with the other exhibits of the case before the jury) and thrusting it toward her, asked sharply: "Have you ever seen this revolver before, Miss Page?" "Yes. It belonged to Mr. Poll." "Was it in his possession on night when he was murdered?" "No." Her voice broke now and fell. "It was in my possession then." "And was it your habit," the prosecutor's voice was satirically mocking, "was it your habit, Miss Page, to attend banquets with a revolver in your handbag?" Mary flushed angrily. "The revolver was lying on my dressing-table at the theater," she said, "and I put it into my bag, intending to give it to Mr. Langdon, but I forgot it." "It was an unfortunate loss of memory for Mr. Pollock," said the attorney dryly, with a glance at the jury. "Then he abruptly waved the whistle away, as though it would be a waste of time to question her further. Langdon halted her. "Will you explain to the court," he cried, "how that revolver came into your possession, Miss Page." Gaining courage at his tone, and the smile that accompanied his words, Mary turned toward the jury and in that beautiful modulated voice that had held so many audience spell bound, she told rapidly, but in detail the story of Pollack's visit to her dressing room on the afternoon of that fat day. She faltered a little over the recital of his abrupt proposal and, we manlike, put in the world old apology for his brutality by the simple state ment: "He was drunk, you know." Then, vividly, her slender hands gesturing and her voice rising with polgen ant memories and pride of London she told of the latter's entry in response to her screams and of his but he with Pollack. Tense silent, but with every nerve alert, the crowd his tened as she described how Pollack had pulled the revolver out of his peek et only to drop it. "He tried to pick it up again," she said, unconsciously visualizing for them the picture of the struggling man, "but I crawled close and snatched it up before he could reach it." She paused, and when she would have taken up the thread of her story again, Langdon's hand stopped her. "That is all, thank you, Miss Page," he said, and the District Attorney, surprise on his face, but with a new glint in his eyes, got quickly to his feet. "I crave the court's permission to ask the witness one more question," he said, and as the Judge waved as he asked slowly, knowing the sensation his question would create. "Miss Page, was there anyone else in the room at the time this struggle was going on?" "Not—not exactly in the room," said Mary, after an instant's hesitation. "There were people outside the door, and—and my maid, who had been out, ran in during the excitement." "Is your maid Janet or Jeannette Beauchamp?" "Yes." Mary's voice was uneasy now, and her eyes met the frightened ones of the maid, who had risen with the apparent intention of leaving the room. But before she had reached the door the prosecutor had waved Mary from the stand and the clerk called loudly: "Janet Beauchamp!" There was a startled cry of "Oh, mon Dieu!" and the Frenchwoman paused, wringing her hands, the center of attention. She made a half movement as if determined to escape anyway and defy the law, but the sight of the police that guarded the exits and the stern repetition of her name brought her reluctantly back. She murmured a little prayer and crossed herself as she took the oath, and the cool friendliness of the prosecutor's voice reassured her. "Janet, how long have you been in the employ of Miss Page?" "Two—no, tree years ziz season." "And was it usual for you to leave the dressing-room when your mistress was getting ready for the street?" "No, monstieur—air?" "But you had been told to leave her on this particular day?" "Told to leave." Janet's voice rose in Gallic excitement. "Mati now! I had but gone to so petite milliner, for so new floweraire for so blue gown." "Who told you to go?" "Monster Daniels, he come in, and he and made motocycle, they talk, and he say posquoi could I not go to get to new dawaires—as orchids, since so shops would not be close for one half hour yet. And Miss Page she may, contemnt that I should go then, for she could switch to dress by herself for once." "How long were you out?" "Oh, je ne sais pas—I mean, I do not know. Maybe fifteen, maybe twenty minutes. I come back quick parceque there are two kinds of orchid at ze shop, and I want mademoiselle to see them both." "And isn't it true," shouted the District Attorney, suddenly leaning forward and fairly hurling his words at the witness, "isn't it true that when you came to you saw Miss Pauz threaten en Mr. Pollock with this revolver?" He caught up the weapon as he spoke and thrust it under her eyes. The maid, with a quivering little scream of horror, shriek back and a murmur of sympathy from the crowd. She could not speak. "Isn't it true?" persisted the prosecutor harshly. "Answer my question—or tell us just what you did see when you came into the theater upon your return from the orchard." Bursting into a storm of tears, Janet dung out her arms in a wild gesture. "It is true," she sobbed. "Mess Page, my mademoiselle, she was standing and she had ze revolver pointed at Mr. Pollock and he he ran out of zero room." At the words, Mary, whose hands had been twitching nervously throughout the malfunction, rose to her feet with a little gasping cry as if she would speak; but before the words came she swung suddenly about and crumpled into a little heap on the floor. In an instant the whole room was on its feet, swaying forward toward the dock, and the soils of the maid were ejected by more than one woman an outfitly with a derivative laugh: "She's a good actress, is Mary Page." But the judge's gavel quolled the excitement and the dire threat back of THE FEDERAL NATIONAL HISTORY SOCIETY "Was there any one else in the room? bly curt words that unless there was order in the court he would clear the room, was like oil on the troubled waters of the sea of obliviousness, and they sat in blind silence as Mrs Lage and Langdon knelt beside the unconscious form of the slim young prisoner, building her temples and caffering her wrists until the momentary respite of mildly forcest her and she opened her eyes to the suffering of reality. At the sight of the fear on both Langdon's and her mother's face, however, she struggled bravely to regain her self-control and when the clerk called the next witness she was again in her chair. Very white and wan, but erect her pallid lips not firmly to hold back the threatening tilt of emotion and weariness that were sweeping over her. The drumming in her ears and the little waves of nausea that are the aftermath of a fatting fit made events blurred to net for a little time, and it was, with a start of surprise that she recognized in the new witness her gratitude leading man. The mere sight of his graceful figure and his boyish face; that handsome juruncle expression that was his stock in trade brought a flood of memories surging over her, and the shocked pity in his eyes made her realize keenly the difference that lay between Mary Page the prisoner and Mary Page the star. His testimony was to a great extent a repetition of what had gone before. He had been at the impromptu, had seen the boy bring the message to Miss Page and had hidden her good night when she left. A few minutes later the sound of the shot had taken him down the hall with the others and into the room where Pollack and Mary lay—the one dead, the other unconscious. "It was I who first urged that some one call the police," he said in his well trained, youthful voice. "I would have gone myself but I wanted to be sure first whether I could be of service to Mirna Page." "Was that the reason you refused to leave the room when ordered to do so by Detective Farley?" The prosecutor's voice was dry. "I resented his tone, sir," answered the young actor. "And beaded, fushing. "I was her leading man and I felt that it—it was my place to be with her rather than that a lot of strangers should hang about." "An involuntary smile crossed Langdon's lips, but they grew grave again at the next question." "After your ejection by Detective Farley and Mr. Langdon did you leave the hotel?" "No, sir. I waited in the hallway in case I was wanted." Did you receive a toll call? You, not I, not me, but when I hear the creature of voices following the re-entry of the house detective and Mr. Landon." THE NEW YORKER Langdon's Lips Grew Grave Again at the Next Question. Langdon's Lips Grew Grave Again at the Next Question. "Could you hear what was said?" The actor flushed and hesitated, and then answered slowly. "Yes, sir—in part." "Will you please repeat what part you heard?" "I heard Mr. Langdon say, 'But good God, there's only one door, she must be some place in here,' and the detective said, 'Well, she's not—you can see that.' Then Mr. Langdon said, 'There's the window—perhaps she's out there—I'll see.' And his voice sounded quiet and excited as if he were frightened, and the detective said, 'No, nothing doing on that, sir—just remember, Mr. Langdon, that as yet I've no way of knowing whether that shot was fired before or after you entered this room.'" "Did Mr. Langdon reply?" "Yes; he said. You did — food, what do you mean?" But just then the police came up and ran in, and I went on in with them, and the deter- tive shouted, "Some of you go down that these capes and hunt for a girl in an evening gown without either cloak or hat—and one of you keep your eye on this man Langdon he was either in this room or at the door when James Pollack was murdered!"

Vessel Given Up for Lost Reaches Hampton Rhoads, Flying Kalser's War Flag, in Charge of Prize Crew The British African line steamship Appam, which had been given up as cost at sea, steamed into Hampton Roads flying the German naval ensign and in charge of a German prize crew of twenty-two men. The Appam was captured off the Canary islands on January, 15 by a German raider four days after she had sailed from Dakar, British West Africa, for Plymouth, England. She brought in a tale of seven vessels destroyed by the sea raider of the African coast. The names of the steamships sunk by the raider are given as the Trader, Arthur, Cor bridge, Arladne, Dromonby, Farrington ford and Clan MacTavish. On board the Appam, in addition to her original 106 passengers and crew of 134 men, were 138 persons said to have been taken from the other vessels sunk by the commerce raider. Out of a mass of conflicting tales told by the passengers and officers of the Appam and the few admissions of Lieutenant Oscar Berge, commanding the prize crew, this much seems clear: That the Appam was overwhelmed by a trump German raider off the Canary islands; that there was a fight before the surrendered, and that the raider assumed her business of attacking British merchant vessels again, slaking at least one in view of the Appam. The vessel sunk, all accounts agree was an Australian freighter (probably the Clan MacTavish) laden with meat. The freighter showed fight, and several of her crew were injured., The German raider put the injured aboard the Appam, took cargo of meat and steamed away, leaving Appam to proceed to Norfolk, in charge of the prize crew; Just how much of a fight the Appam put up before surrendering is disputed. Captain Harrison, of the liner, says surrender was immediate, since he had only one three-inch gun with which to resist the raiders attack, and that the gun was unmounted. Some members of the prize crew say the British liner opened fire in answer to the first shot across her bows. The United States government will have this point to settle. There is the widest speculation as to the identity of the mysterious raider. Many think it is the Will'o the Wisp boat reported several times in the Gulf of Mexico, just after the escape of officers from the Prinz Eitel Friedrich aboard the yacht Helpspee Captain Harrison the raider probably was conveyed by a German submarine. It is reported that the raider was the cruiser Mowe, although this is not confirmed. According to Lloyd's register, there is a German merchant ship named Mowe, commanded by a Capt Bainge, which is the same name as that of the commander who brought the Appam into port. There is a German torpedo boat by the name of Mowe. The Appam carries a large caro. in oluding a quantity of cocoa and other African products. Among her passangers are twenty-two women and five children. The vessel is in excel lent condition. WEDS AS BABE LIES DEAD Woman Unwilling to Postpone Marriage and Financial Fertility Hage and Funeral Follows. In order not to disappoint the invite of guests and unwilling to postpone her marriage to Stephen Gutchman, Mrs. Annie Krokus, a widow of South Bokleham, Pa., decided to have the ceremony performed, even though her three-month-old babe lay dead at her home. Accordingly the wedding ceremony was performed at Allentown, and then Mr. and Mrs. Gutchman returned home, where a little later the funeral of the child took place. The woman became a widow on October 24 last, and five days later the child was born. No More Canal Slides, Says Goethals Major General George W. Gee thalis, governor of the Panama Canal pole, arrived in New York on his way to Washington to appear before the congressional committee on canal appropriations. General Goethals said he was unable to find any definite date as to when the canal would be opened, but was confident there would be no more slides. Notices were posted at the plants of the H. C. Frick Coke company at Connellsville, Pa., through the Connellsville region, that, effective February 1, the wages of all employees would be increased ten per cent.

THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA NEW GUNS FOR DEFENSE Proposed Movable Artillery for Coast Defense. 54 KILLED IN AIR RAID 67 Others Hurt in Zeppelin Attack on England. Fifty-four persons were killed and sixty-seven injured in Monday night's raid by Zeppelin's over Derbyshire, Staffordshire, Lincolnshire and Leicestershire, it was officially announced in London. The number of dead and wounded may be increased in later reports, it was indicated. The official statement said that reports from cities bombarded are still incomplete. The Zeppelin feet was the biggest that has yet attacked England. The raiders were hampered in their operations by a rust which made it impossible to hit down bombs accurately or to gauge their surroundings. The following official statement was given out: "An air raid Monday was attempted by the Germans on an extensive scale, but it appears the raiders were hamphed by thick mists. After crossing the coast the Zeppelinia steered in various directions, dropping bombs on several towns in the rural districts of Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and Staffordshire. Some damage to property was caused, but no accurate reports were received until a very late hour. The casualties enumerated up to the time of the issuance of this statement were fifty-four killed and sixty-seven injured." 220 MIDDIES FAIL One-Fourth Annapolis Students Must Quit for Deficiency, is Report. Notwithstanding the particularly serious need of naval officers at this time, 220 midshipmen, about one-quarter of the whole number at the Naval academy, at Annapolis, Md., while in the regular course, will be asked to resign within the next few days, owing to their failure to pass certain subjects at the semi-annual examinations, which have just ended. As the academic board has not passed upon these cases as yet, the academy officials are not ready to make a definite announcement as to the number and class distribution of the deficient, but it is asserted or absolute authority that the number is about 220, and that the number, in each class is about as follows: First, or graduation class, 20; second, 60; third, 60; fourth, 50. Failure to attain a mark of 250 out of a possible 400 constitutes a "deficiency" at the academy, and in the usual course a deficiency in any branch is sufficient to bring a request for a resignation. DUPONT SAFE STOLEN : 200-Pound Strong Box Carried From Home by Burglar. Thieves carried a 200-pound iron safe containing $2000 in money and valuable jewelry from the residence of Mrs. Lammot Dupont in Wilmington, Del.

Brumbaugh and Miss Flora Belle Parks, his ward, were married in the Germantown church of the Brethren in Philadelphia after extraordinary but futile pre-attacks had been taken to keep the wedding time and place a secret. The governor's marriage comes as a completed surprise to his friends and to the public generally. From time to time he had been reported as en- gaged, but Miss Parks' name had never been mentioned in this connec- tion. She is a distant cousin of the governor's and has been a member of his household for more than twen- ty years. The wedding ceremony was per- formed according to the curious Bunk- hard rite by Rev. George Dilling Kuna, pastor of the First Church of the Brothren, of which the governor is a member, assisted by Rev. Milton-C Swigart, pastor of the Germantown church. Neither the bride nor the bridegroom had any attendants. Train Killa Three In Auto. Three persons were killed and three injured when a wrestound milk train on the Reading railway struck an automobile on a private crossing near Grantham, Cumberland county, Pa. The dead are: Mrs. Daniel Wingert and Mrs. John Harbaugh, Chambersburg, and Mrs. John Myers, Green Castle, and the injured, Daniel Wingert, Anna Myers and Norman Wingert. Mr. Wingert, who was driving, had changed gear to go up grade, and the vehicle slipped back on the track in front of the approaching train. The rear of the car in which the women were seated was demolished, and the front part hurted twenty feet. Mrs. Myers died soon after being picked up. The other two were killed instantly.

Bitter Fight is Expected in the Senate on Confirmation of Noted Trust Buster. President Wilson selected Louis D. Brandles, of Boston, to be associate justice of the United States, to succeed Justice Lamar, who died recently. Mr. Brandles' nomination went to the senate. It was a surprise everywhere in official circles. Mr. Brandles had not even been mentioned for the recency. No sooner had the nomination been received than the senators began discussing informally the prospects of his confirmation. A bitter fight is expected. None of those who said they were opposed to the appointment were willing to be quoted to that effect, however. Senators on all hands said freely they were taken by surprise. The nomination goes to the judiciary committee, where, if there is a fight, it will first develop. Louis Dembitz Branditz was born at Louisville, Ky., November 13, 1886, and was educated in the public and high schools of that place and at Annen Realschule, Dresden, Germany. He was graduated from the Harvard Law school in 1877 and received the master's degree in 1891. On March 23, 1891, he married Alice Goldmark, of New York city. He was admitted to the bar in Boston in 1878, and has practiced in that city ever since. He has taken a prominent part in legal cases of a public nature and has been regarded as a man of ultra-radical views on many subjects. He has been independent in politics, acting freely with radical elements in both parties. In the Ballinger controversy during the Taft administration he represented Glavis, one of the chief witnesses for the former attorney general's opponents. He was counsel for the people in the proceedings involving the constitutionality of the Oregon and Illinois women's ten-hour laws, and chairman of the arbitration board of the New York garment workers constituted after the strike in 1910. As counsel for the shipppers, Mr. Brandies in 1910 and 1911 made a determined fight against the granting of the freight rate increase asked by the eastern trunk line railroads. He caused a stir by declarations made in November, 1810, that the railroads of the country were wasting a million dollars daily and that he could show them how to save that sum. He was appointed special governmeat attorney in the New England railroad inquiry before the interstate commerce commission last year. Mr. Brandies' name last came prominently before the public when he was appointed special government attorney in the Riggs National bank suit against Comptroller of the Curency John Skelton Williams. Mr. Brandies is regarded as an au authority on public franchises, life in insurance, wage earners' insurance scientific management, labor problems and the trust question. He has writ ten largely on these topics. Mr. Brandies is the first Hebrew to be named to the supreme court. He has taken an active part in the Zion list movement. Supreme court justices hold office for life. Associate justices receive $14,500 a year. British Losses 549.467. Premier Asquith, in a written reply to a request for information, says that the total British casualties in all fields of operations up to January 9 were 549,467, of which 24,122 were officers and 525,345 of other ranks. RECORD PENNSY EARNINGS The Gross Return for 1915 Totalled $195,528,170. Gross earnings of the Pennsylvania Railroad company. For the fiscal year ended December 31 were the largest ever reported for on year, being $196,628,170, an increase of $2,250,318 over 1914. The previous high record in gross earnings was in 1913, with $197,501,490. The net income applicable to sinking fund requirements and dividends was $40,478,681, an increase of $8,173,458, and is equivalent to more than 8.1 per cent on the stock of the Pennsylvania railroad. In 1914 the net income was equivalent to 6.53 per cent. The dividend rate is six per cent, so that in the past year the dividend was earned and with a surplus of fully two per cent over, although this figure will probably be lowered by deductions for sinking and other reserve funds, and possibly appropriations for other corporate purposes. Begin Uniontown Bank Probe. The federal grand jury began an investigation into the causes leading to the failure of the First National bank of Uniontown, Pa. Many officials of the institution and prominent Uniontown business men have been subpoenaed. Governor Samuel W.
