NET THAT SUNDAY NIGHT TRAGEDY HENRY TUCKER SHOT AND KILLED BY CARRIE TUCKER. GRUESOME SCENE AT FIRST AND BAKER STREETS—WITNESSES TESTIFY THAT SHOOTING WAS ACCIDENTAL The Coroner's Jury Decides Accordingly. A shot was heard in the neighborhood of First and Baker Streets last Sunday evening at about 8 o'clock. It was soon ascertained that the sound came from an alleged questionable resort-upstairs in the house on the northeast corner. This property is known as Cain's Store for the reason that a bear-beeper of that name owned the place for many years. Thanks to our segregation law, a white family is living down stairs, engaged in the grocery business and leaving at night to return again early the next morning, while in the same building, colored people are upstairs having a good time and accidentally killing one of their number. CARD PLAYING ON SUNDAY It was brought out, too, that while the people were going to Church, attending to religious duties, card playing was being indulged in and bottles found there or alleged to have been found there indicate that drinking of intoxicants had also been a part of the evening's enjoyment, when death came to bring consternation and misery, to those concerned. With the rushing crowd, came the police-officers. The remains were turned over to undertaker Clarence P. Hayes. 32 playing cards were found at the head of the steps and 18 on a lounge in the room, making 52 in all. THAT WHISKEY BOTTLE. A whakayo bottle with about two drinks left, was also found in the room. It now transpires that Carrie, the wife of Henry Tucker had been married before. She is about 36 years of age and her mother resides at 1314 E. Leigh Street. Her name is Mrs. Adeline A. Williams. Carrie has a child named Stephenson Randolph. He is 9 years of age and he lives with his grandmother. It is now stated that Carrie Tucker was formerly the wife of John Haillie Randolph. He is dead now, but at one time he killed a man about his wife. The tragedy happened at 18th and Main. Streets. In the melo, Carrie Randolph was shot either in the arm or hand. A FORMER TRAGEDY: This is the report of those who profess to know. The man killed was a son of a Mr. Johnson Randolph was subsequently acquitted in the Hustings Court of this city. This affair happened about ten years ago. It is also reported that another colored man was shot by Henry Tucker and it is alleged that the trouble was about Carrie Tucker. When and where Henry Tucker was married to Carrie Randolph has not as yet been divulged. They lived as man and wife at 100 East Baker Street and the place seems to have been a popular resort for some people. ON THE COOLING BOARD. On a cooling board of Hayes' Undertaking establishment all that remained of Henry, Tucker rested. The Coroner had probed for the ball and the dark features of the man shown in striking contrast with the surroundings. He was clean-faced with a recording forehead. He had been employed at Pairick Young's establishment in Cory Street. They are wholesale meat dealers. He carried an insurance policy for a small amount in the Home Benevolent Insurance Company. It had just been taken out September 27, 1916. The Coroner's jury met Wednesday, 10:00 A.M. at the City Hall. The following is the testimony: Arthur Perry, citizen, was sworn and deposited. My group is Arthur Perry. I have seen my wife smash the A. Bingham head. I also Margo Tucker had been at Sydenham all day. When we are working with him, I am happy, joyful, and I am sure I will be able to continue working with him. and Tacker came in Carrie and this lady here, Hattle, were sitting down. Carrie was reading a paper. Henry was sitting at the head of the table fronting Baker Street, and I was not sitting in front of him. I was sitting at the side of the table at his right hand. When the shooting occurred, she was near the door that heads out into the hall. NO QUARRELING THERE "There was no quarreling. All were there laughing and talking. The shooting did not occur while we were sitting down. I had gotten up and was laying over on the dresser, but Tucker was still sitting at the table. The way the shooting happened; Tucker spoke about greasing the gun. The gun was on the washstand or bureau. Carrie had gotten the ticker from the bureau or washstand. Tucker said it was a little tight, he did not believe it would shoot; the way that the pistol was tight. She said she didn't believe it, either. He told her to try it, but to close the door so it would not make so much noise. CARRIE SHUT THE DOOR. "Carrie shut the hall door. She said she was going to shoot down in the floor. When she said she was going to shoot at the floor, I turned my head and the pistol went off." Officer: "Why did she close that hall door and then come around in front to do the killing?" Coroner Taylor: "We will get to that presently." Witness: "I don't think she intended to shoot him." "Tucker hollored three or four times and then fell over at the table. He lived about twenty, twenty-five or thirty minutes. After she had found that she had shot him, she came to him and commenced screaming. After he fell, he might have crawled three or four feet towards the door. THE CROWD CAME. "The crowd came up and we turned him over to see where he was shot at. We stripped open his shirt. "We sent for the ambulance right away. He was dead when the doctor got there." Coroner Taylor: "What became of the pliot?" Witness: "Carrie put the pliot on the table, but afterwards took it up and threatened to shoot herself when I told her that he was dead. Several people had come in and one of them took the pliot from her, and I have not seen it since. I don't know what became of it. I think the shooting was accidental." CORONER TAYLOR'S QUERIES Coroner Taylor: "How did the cards get into the hall. Part of them were out in the hall and part on the top of the table. How did they get scattered?" Witness: "I don't know. Tucker might have had some of them in his hand." Juror: "Was his wife drunk? Was he drunk?" Witness: "No, sir, neither of them was drunk." Coroner Taylor: "Have they ever had any trouble?" Witness: "I have known them for two years, and they always got on well together." Coroner Taylor: "The position he stated he was sitting in corresponds very closely to the position in which the woman was in at the time. The ball entered at the right nipple on the breast and went diagonally across." HATTIE MONTAGUE WAS SWORN AND DEPOSED. "I live at 702 St. James Street. The statement of the witness agrees with what Perry said. I have heard the testimony, of Arthur Perry, and I agree with what he said. I was standing just opposite his wife when she shot. I say her when she shot the pistol. She was standing near the hall door. She did not point the pistol in no particular direction when she fired the pistol. She turned her head and then pulled the trigger. "Tucker said, 'Oh, honey, you have shot me.' He said this after she had fired the pistol. I am sure the shooting was an accident." DANIEL FLIPPEN WAS SWORN AND DEPOSED. "I live at 804 N. Adams Street. I had not been in there five minutes. I was present at the shooting. I agree with what Arthur said. You know I had only been there five minutes. They had stopped playing cards. They were looking at the cards. I heard Henry tell her to try the pistol, to shoot it, to try and see if it would go off. "I heard Tucker tell her to start the date. I will not use her shot. I saw at the window looking for a weapon on apples. I assumed so because I heard him say he was going to shoot him. I saw many people shooting him. EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS MAGNIFICENT AND AWE-INSPIRING SCENES IN THE FAR WEST MAMMOTH-MOUNTAIN PEAKS—THE GREAT CANON—THE GREAT SALT DESERT AND SALT LAKE CITY-TRAVELLING EASTWARD. This Western Pacific R. R. and the Denver and Rio Grande R. R. in the matter of through travel are fitting rivals to the magnificent Canadian Pacific. The description of the section of the road through which we were travelling is interesting. Beyond the steep Gibraltar Rock promontory came the steep declivity of Angel Slide. At Tobin, we crossed the river. Here is found fine fishing. Here may be soon an occasional miner, busily washing sand and gravel for the precious bits of gold ore. They make a good living at this. LADY FINGER POINT. About five miles from Tobin was seen Workman's Bar, a place that was formerly a construction camp. As we traveled, we could see on the left, numerous falls. The water came down in its natural beauty, with the spray of whites and with a stream as transparent as polished glass. We passed then through a tunnel, which had been bored, through Lady Finger Point. As we gazed upon these natural wonders, it caused an inspiration of awa; for man with his steam lines had invaded this sanctity of the mountain ranges and had given to wondering millions views that they had never seen before. THE BEAUTIES OF NATURE: Behind towers of stone and earth, between mighty gaps that told of the past convulsions of the earth arose the mighty peak of the great Mount Murphy. It was 6:30 P. M., and we wore in a wooded flat section which was a veritable haven for fishermen and hunters. Here the Oro Electric Company is developing power for wide distribution. Smith's Point, just beyond this place, which is known as Belden is one of the best places on the river for fishing and hunting. I had no time to stop for this. It was my mission to pass through, to hurry on to St. Louis and there send from that point, Miss Gladys M. Owens on to Fisk University at Nashville, Tennessee. THE MAIN STREAM. The main stream of the North Fork of the Feather River at this point, turns off to the north. Here was saw the huge Ben Lomond Mountain. Its mighty peaks penetrated the clouds. But the train was moving at a remarkable speed and we could only get glimpses now and then of these wonders of nature. A person could spend years in contemplating these magnificent scenes, which stirred the heart and caused man to see here and there evidences of God in nature. Here, the canyon grew more narrow and more rugged, with its bronze and its yellow strata announcing the approach to the Red Gorge ahead. THE FIRST MASONIC LODGE. We had arrived at Rich, formerly known as Rich Bar. It was formerly a mining camp. It extended a mile up and down the river and had a population of 2,000. I saw the place where the first Masonic Hall erected in California stood amidst the grove on the left of the track. Only the floor beams could be seen now. Decay had set in, and like everything else, it was evident that all signs of it would, ere many years, pass away. Looking up the hill to the right was a graveyard. Here, too, may be seen a stone dating back to 1851. Rich Bar is a Mecca for the Native Sons of the Golden West. A pioneer monument is to be placed at this point. From this point up, the place is known as Serpentine Canyon. It is narrowest at Red Gorge. THAT RIVER CANYON. For ten miles down in this river canyon, the railroad had been blasted through solid rock in order to secure a track bed. The prone is wet-night indescribable. We could see what was on the opposite side, where the solid stone bank goes high in the air and the wildest kind of memory was observable. Showing stones were placed and having downward could be seen from running water, pushing grass below. Without one great force leading and flare I was遍遍 of flames from home and friends in the wild country, where only a few houses are visible, remained, and there became implied in and out absence of all their carved.

I could almost imagine that I could see the tufted, feathered headgear of the celebrated Rod Man as I scanned the rocky cliffs above and below, and fancied I could see mystic Indian canoes darting here and there in the waters below. But it would be a difficult task to keep a skiff from destruction in the surging waters of this narrow canyon. In the distance, the guide told us was Camel's Hump mountain.

The Walker case will again occupy the attention of a jury in either the Law and Equity Court of this city or in the United States District Court unless all signs fall. Neither side appears to be permitted by a spirit of compromise. With the attorneys for Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, it is a case of all of the insurance money and interest or none.

An an evidence of this, it is admitted that Hon. L. O. Wendenburg has been retained by the company to represent its interests in the suit. MUCH EVIDENCE TO BE SUBMITTED. Practically all of the evidence which was adduced in the trial of Russell E. T. Walker for the alleged murder of Arinstead Walker, Jr., and which resulted in a verdict of "not guilty" will be brought again before the jury. The case will involve some legal points never before passed upon by a court in this State. Testimony that is barred from the witness stand in a criminal case can be admitted and will be admitted in a civil case for just what it is worth with a jury. Attorney, Allon*Collins is said to be the Company's regular representative in this city, but we learn that he will not have associate counsel in the case. ANSWER NOT YET FILED The answer of the defendant company has not as yet been filed and it will be one or more weeks before it will be. We shall give the statement to the public when this is done, with the idea of presenting information relative to just what the grounds are, for not recognizing the legality of the claim of Mrs. Walker in calling for the proceeds of the policy upon the life of her husband. REVIVAL THERE. The Fifth Street Baptist Church is conducting a revival. Rev. Dr. T. J. King, D. D. is being assisted by Rev. S. A. Moses, D. D., pastor of the High Street Baptist Church, of Danville, Va. There were seventeen members Monday night and six conversions Tuesday night. There were thirty-nine members and eleven conversions. There were eleven conversions on Wednesday night. Rev. Dr. Moore is doing a great work. The meetings will continue until 50th. The records of the State Mining Bureau of California show a production of coal in California as early as 1861. At that time it was one of the 16 coal-producing States and, relatively, of some importance as a coal producer. During the latter part of that decade and throughout the following decade the coal, production of California exceeded 100,000 tons annually and reached a maximum of 236,950 tons in 1880. Since 1881 the production has been irregular, having been influenced chiefly, up to the beginning of the present century, by the imports of Australian and British Columbian coals, the receipts of Australian coals depending principally upon the wheat production and shipments from the Pacific Coast. Since 1900, however, according to the United States Geological Survey, with the great increase in the production and use of petroleum which began in that year, coal production in California has fallen off.

I think I must have been crazy that night at the ‘Blue Feather.’ I was poutous and angry and hurt besides, and I lost my head. Won’t you forgive me. I’m not going to bother you any more.” "Your honour and gentlemen of the jury." but I can't live without your forgive bom! By that time Mary had got the power of speech back and she jerked her hand away from his na his it burnt. I am perfectly willing to forgive you, she said, 'and accept your apology, but I do not come to continue any acquaintance with you.'" "Did you and Mimi Ipsa secure post them in that new company?" "Yes. The minute she manager spotted Mary, he pitched her for the lead become the was the proper type, and Mary was willing and she couldn't like the job unless I went along too. I would have been in love with Mary and I would have been happy with her and company, but she In the play which had the gilded moorl of 'A Woman's Pledge,' "May it please the court," broke in the prosecutor, getting厉厉 to his feet. "All this is no doubt very interesting—delightful, in fact, and might prove of great help to us if we had stage apiphanes. But," with a sudden change of tone, "we are here to decide the fate of Mary Page, from the State department James Pollock. I fail to see, your Honor, where the some wretched rumbling fable in string which, the witness is telling has any bearing upon this case." "Tour Hoon, and gentlemen of the jury," Langdon's voice rose before the words of the prosecutor had died away. "the story which the witness is telling has everything to do with the question of the murder of James Pollock. It will show how again and again he forced his attentions upon Miss Page, and of the horror in which she held him; and of the almost inevitable mental collapse that followed his brutal efforts to make her marry him. If I were to witness to the story in her own way, it is simply that I wish to be before you the picture of those two young girls, so brave and hopeful, and hard working, whose positions and good character were attacked by James Pollock." For a moment the judge hesitated, and the court held its breath—aggressive, even antagonistic at the mere thought of losing the gay little witness who was looking from the judge to Langdon with such childishly startled eyes. Then his Honor said slowly: "I cannot sustain your objection to the testimony in irrelevant, sir. I consider all that has a bearing upon the curious relations existing between Mr. Pollock and Miss Page as of paramount importance. At the same time" he added, turning to Langdon, "I would suggest that you instruct your witness to confine her testimony to more statement of fact." The entire courtroom, not excepting the jury, heaved a sigh of relief, and Langdon's face showed a flush of triumph as he asked: "How long did your engagement in A Woman's Pledge last, Miss. Barton?" "Six weeks, but we only got salary for four." "Where did the tour end?" "It it didn't end. It blew up in a one tank rube town called Prindieville. It was one of those towns that have the railroad station on one side of Main Street, the hotel and 'Opr's house at the other and the rest of the building scattered about wherever they happened to drop." Again a gust of laughter lifted through the dingy room, but Langdon trunnel and shook his head at Amy. "Never mind descriptions," he said more sharply than he had spoken so far. Amy, far from being awed by his sternness, pouted at him with a gay little nose and went on with her story in her own fashion. "We were all feeling pretty grouchy when we hit Prindieville, because the ghost hadn't walked for a month, and nobody knew whether we'd ever got back to New York or not. "Did you give the performance that night?" broke in Langdon impatiently. "Well, we started to, but it never go beyond the ticket-taking stage, for the sheriff blew in with a badge as big as a saucer and said that he had been or dered to hold all our trunks and propo for unpaid board bills in the last four towns, and that meant that we were stranded with Broadway doing the Sheridan act many miles away. We went back to the hotel and said what we thought of the producer and tried to borrow carfare from the hotel proprietor. That was when we saw James Pollock again. He arrived in town to the last train, and walked into the lobby by we were there. He came over and said he was going through the town on a business trip, and seeing Mary's name on an eight sheet you know-big poster—he had jumped off on impulse. He said he was awfully sorry that the tour had ended so unfortunately, and begged her to let him arrange for our return to New York." "Did Miss Page accept?" "No. She refused absolutely. She shee looked as if she would scream if she touched her. She shed onto my arm so tight it made a black-and-blue spot and you could see the police in her threat jumping the way it does before a woman dismiles into hysteria. The proprietor of the place was a decent old Rube with a fatherly eye and soft heart that wore the make-up of a growth, and when Mary offered him a ring that had been her mother's, as a promise for our board, he kind of glided and handed over the key to our room without a word." I met my friend. "That means that you renamed with Miss Page?" "Why, of course," she said invious surprise. "You don't suppose I'd go back on Mary, do you? We went upstairs and had a little cry," she said whimily, a futurity, simple show as she spoke. "Then, having power拨开 our窗户 and closed me, I left Mary running while I went to the hand of the sisters to what was doing in the office, and what had happened to the year of the break." "Would you see them in the office then the wild way?" "Finally, by going down to the first landing and looking through the banisters." "Was the rest of the company still there?" "Yes." "Was Mr. Pollock with them?" "Yes; he was playing a leading role and making a speech." "Could you bear what he said?" "Could you hear what he said?" "Sure! Of course I missed the first part of it, but when I got to the landing he was saying, I have always taken on a great interest in the theatre, and I am very proud of my new predirement." Then he pulled a timed table out of his pocket and tapped it, saying, "The New York train goes through in six minutes. It can be bagged to take you aboard and I'll pay your fare to New York and settle the claims of the shiffr- for no reason except that I don't want to see you stranded." At that the company set up "She looked as if she would scream if he touched her." a cheer and beat it like crazy people for their suitcases, and Mr. Pollock pulled out a great wad of bills and began peeling them off for everybody, including the sherif himself. "What did you do then?" "I ran back and told Mary, but we could see through his game. It was a case of either accept his help or be stranded and walk the tles." "What did Miss Page say?" "She said, You go, Amy, because you want to get back, but I'll walk every step of the way and earn my food by scrubbing before I'll accept a penny of James Pollock's money or give him a chance to speak to me again." "Did you answer to go?" "No. I said that burrows weren't in it with me when it came to stinkin', and if there was going to be any walking or scrubbing I would be on the job to do my share. That Mary and I were pals—and we'd take what was coming together. Well, anybody would have stuck by Mary. She—she's the best ever." "Did Mr. Pollock leave with the company?" asked Landon, a warning note in his voice, and with a little start she turned back to him. "No. We thought he had gone, but after the train had pulled out I looked out of the window and saw him coming back to the hotel—grimming." "No. I thought it was better for her to think he was gone, so that she would get a good night's sleep. Afterward I wished I had sold her." "Why?" "Because it was such an awful shock to her when he came to our door in the morning." "Will you tell us the circumstances of that meeting, please?" "Well, Mary and I were both dressed and ready for breakfast, and we were talking over the chances of getting some sort of work to do in the town till we could get word home to mother to send us car fare. It costs quite a lot from Prindleville to the big town, and we knew it might be days, before the old lady could raise it, and we had to eat in the meantime. While we were still talking we heard a knock at the door, and thinking it was the chamber-maid or maybe the proprietor Mary." sings out, "Come in." And at that James Pollock opened the door." "The screamed and tugging, bid her face against my shoulder for a moment. Then she stood up and faced him. 'How dare you come here?' she snaked, and he had the deveny to look pretty foolish. 'I dare because I am worried about you,' he said. 'I can go and leave you stranded here; you've got to let me help you.' I shall never accept your help! cried Mary, and I could tell by her voice that she was pretty close to tears, so I stepped forward and said, 'Look here, James Pollock, it's a pretty mean trick for any man to persecute a girl, the way you are persecuting Mary. Haven't you a shred of deoxygen in your poor little soul? If you have you'll best be while the googin good.' "Did he answer you?" "Ten. For a minute, I thought he was going to hit him. He said, 'My Page is thoroughly republic of an unwilling me here,' little Barton, and I asked him to interfere in what dead and coward you. 'Anything the寡寡 Mary, correct me,' I said. Now Mar. let my hand on my arm, the Pellucifer, she would, and there was the Pellucifer in the white, "I thoroughly grew up with you. Amy has made you you are entering and I cannot be my God's sake go away and leave us in matter. At that Mr. Pellucifer sang his hands and laid heartily, Mary- Mary—you can't meet that. Aren't you tired of this poverty and misery? Haven't you had enough of this life? One would think to hear you that I some were brave pursuing you, when all I ask is to honorably marry you and protect you from hardships." "Honorable cried Mary. Do you call it honor- able to assist the others because you knew it would have us stranded and helpless? Is it honorable to force your self upon us in this fashion? Is it bon- erable to persecute me, when I've told you over and over that I'll drudge all my life and wear my fingers, to the bone with work before I will marry you? Then she burst into tears, and I ordered Mr. Pellucifer out of the room saying that be'd gotten his answer an be might as well go." "No-but it didn't matter, because just the door opened and the good old ginkgo that ran the place came in. He said he heard enough of what was said to realise that we girls need ed some help and advice, and suggest ed that since Mr. Pollock seemed determined to stay there, that we might go down to his office. He handed us each a job as bacult-singlers in the dining-room. Mary was to administer the table'dote to the regular and I was to be on the job with the transients and SOME transients they were, too. Of course Mary made a bit right out. "It's a good thing, your Honor, that they don't leave any cold poison lying around in rube hotels, because the first customer I got was James Pollock. I did stick: my finger in the oatmeal I was taking him and say, 'I hope you choke' three times, but it didn't work." Again her bubbling laugh rippled up, followed by a guffaw of delight from the listener, but as if it were a signal, the prosecutor leaped to his feet. "Your Honor," he stormed, "I object to the testimony of this witness being admitted as evidence: Is this a courtroom or a burlesque show? And is my learned opponent revealing to us the gay life of Miss Barton or evidence dealing with the murder of James Pollock? "May it please the court," returned Langdon, "the events which took place in Prindleville had a very definite effect upon the relations between James Pollock and the defendant. I care the patience of your Honor and the gentlemen of the jury with the witness, who must not only come with the legal brevity demanded by law." "I think," said his Honor, the ghost of a smile still twitching at his lips, "that the witness may go on with her story. But" he added, leaning forward with an admonishing gesture toward Amy, "you must remember. Miss Barton, that you are here not to amuse us, but to answer as briefly as possible the questions put to you by counsel for the defence." "How long did you remain at the hotel in Prindleville as a waitress?" "About three weeks." "Did Mr. Pollock remain there during that time?" "Yes." "Did he speak to you at any time?" "Well, he had to speak to me, but he limited it to. Two boiled eggs and dry toast, or 'Gimme roast chicken and mashed potatoes,' but with Mary it was different. He didn't speak to her, but he never let her get out of his sight if he could avoid it. He used to sit in the hall where he could watch her in the dining-room, and if she went out for a breath of air, he always followed her. It got on her nerves so she used to cry half the night, and say she would go crazy if he didn't go away." "Miss Barton, you say that you remained at the hotel about three weeks. Why did you leave at the end of that time?" "Because of the behavior of some of the men who came to the place." "What do you mean by their behavior?" "Their—their freshness," she said flashing a little. "You see, when we first went to work, they were all very decent, especially to Mary, and every thing was fine. Then they—they seemed to change even to me. Finally something the landlady said put me wise to the fact that our characters prince and princess, I didn't want Mary to know, so I kept tilt the Mary to day when the lady that always came for lunch got fresh, and tried to kiss her. The landlady had just told me that her regular girls were objecting to work with us, because of our bad chair actors, when the door of the dining-room banged oned Mary, taking her apron off as she went, ran past us and up the stairs. The landlady called her, but she never even looked around, so I started after her. Just as I did so a cheap, flashy guy who was a regular boarder came out of the dining-room, looking sheepish and with one cheek bright red and the other very pale. I've seen a good smack make that kind of a completion before, so I kind of waited around to see what he would do." "Did he leave the hotel?" "No. He walked out into the office and across to where James Pollok was sitting and firing himself into a chair beside him. He ripped out a good round oath or two; then he said, 'May, look here, from what you told me, that Mary Page is no better than she should be, but cricket, she swung a right onto my jaw that jarred my brains in there, just because I tried to give her a little kiss—and offered to, take her to the movie." "No. First, he looked as if he was pointing to the chump one himself, then he laughed as if he was enticed with astonishment, and I row up another kerry, like with tying, and placing his grip. Now each that for the last two was where the third nodded a dotted applique in the midst of the man's forehead, and that at his own eye when he laughed for and who had pointed at him. The word of it was "Their—their freshness." He said, the man said that he had been told that she wasn't so particular with others, and was notorious where she came from. When we went downstairs with our suit-cases in our hands the proprietor's wife was giving him an earl of what she had heard about us of how bad we were and all the rest, and Mr. Pollock was sitting there taking it all in, but pretending to read. He jumped up when we came in sight, however, and started to speak, but we pushed by him and I walked right up to the proprietor and said, 'Look here—you've been pretty white to us, but somebody is spreading a lot of lies around here, and we're going to quit P. D. Q., and we'd like whatever of the long green is coming to us after our room rent is paid. The old guy, seeing Mr. Pollock was listening, said we better all go into the dining-room to settle it; but Mr. Pollock followed us in, and that said that we was a friend of ours, that he had heard that there were a good many rumors about Mary's past, and that of course no career could expect to have any reputation, as everybody knew what road companies were. Then he grabbed Mary's hands, saying, 'I at least care nothing about knowing. Knowing Miss Page, I have repeatedly offered to marry her and now—now I ask again. Mary, you can kill this slaughter in a minute by marrying me.' That wiped me to his game all right, but before I could tell her, she had dragged her hands away from him with a scream and backed against the wall, staring at us as if as if she was—tray. I called out 'Mary! Mary! but she didn't seem to hear me. She just kept staring at Mr. Pollock.' "Was he much excited?" snapped Langdon. "Yes, but he was half drunk, too. He'd been drinking a lot all day, and it showed plainly on him. It was that, I guess, that made him act like a fool and try to catch her in his arms, crying that there was nothing ahead of her but disgrace and disaster unless she married him." "Did she reply?" "No-she didn't answer. She struck at him—twice then she screamed and ran out—and across the street to the railroad. We—we followed us quickly as we could, and then—" she choked, and her hand went wavily to her throat, as if the words would not come—"and then—we saw the man waving his flag and knew the—the train from New York was coming to. I—think I went crazy myself for a minute. I screamed and screamed and I heard Pollock screaming too, and we ran like mah but we couldn't catch her—only thank God. The man with the danger flag saw her and stopped her just in time." "Did she fight against capture?" "No. She just fainted dead off in his arms, and when we got to her, he had carried her over and laid her on the platform. It was then that I saw Mr. Langton. He had just gotten off the train, and when he saw the crowd and Mary lying there, he turned white as a sheet and came running over. But I told him that she had only fainted and he'd better carry her over to the hotel." "Was Miss Page conscious when you reached the hotel?" "No. But after she had been laid on the sofa in the parlor and the lady had bathed her forehead a while she opened her eyes and smiled at us, and the old woman, who was a good soul at heart, drove us all out, saying that Mary needed rest." "Was Mr. Pollock in the hotel at that time?" "Yes. He was at the parlor door, but when we came out the kind of edge away and stood scowling at us. Then I told Mr. Langdon that I believed he had been spreading shatter and had driven her half insane so that she had attempted to end it all by flinging her self in front of the train. Mr. Langdon started to tell me something then, but before he could get a word out, the landlady came to the parlor door and said Mary wanted me. Mr. Langdon went in with me. When Mary saw him, she just gave one cry, and cried running to him, like a kid that’s been scared in the dark and keeps it’s mother coming with a lamp. But when she saw Mr. Pollock pushing his way in with some of the others, she turned kind of white again, and Mr. Langdon turning to see what had startled her, got a glimpse of him. At that he suddenly pulled a bunch of papers out of his pocket, and marching up to Mr. Pollock said, loud enough for all of us to bear: Through certain investigations which I made in New York, James Pollock. I have discovered that you are the biggest accouled making! I have actual proof that you backed "A Woman’s Fledge" Company, and allowed it to strand in order to leave Mary Page penalties and alone in a strange town; and what is more, curse you. I believe you yourself spread the hat that have been told about her." "Did Mr. Pollock Gay there account? "He started to tell apparently changed his mind and didn't say a word. He good old Rule proprietor did. He grew up and shocked his first and Mr. Pollock I've bad my doubts about you for some time. Now I know—my you get out of my hotel—and quick! This town is no place for hounds that persecute women and slander 'em, and if you don't want some rough handling you better go away before word of this dirty wiggle around. At that Mr. Pollock turns about like a dog that's bad a kicking and slunk out and Mr. Langloh laughed and said, There's a train born in twenty minutes, and we're going to catch it." "That is, all, Miss Barton." said Langdon, but his tone was thoughtful and when the prosecutor waived cross examination, and the judge adjourned court, he showed obvious relief. He followed Amy into the witness room drew her beside and asked: "Amy, have you seen anything of Danielle lately?" "Why, sure," she answered, "I saw him yesterday, and, say, he looks about the sickest thing I ever saw in the show business. Honest, I felt sorry for him." "Well, you may feel even more sorry for him, before long," muttered Langdon, and hurrying out through the now gloomy corridors be passed through the changing door and down into the cells. At a word to the turnkey he was admitted to the narrow room where Mary lay dung across the narrow bed. Stepping over her he whispered softly: "Mary—my dear." "Oh, Phillip," she sobbed, turning and clinging to him. "It—it's like living all the horrors over again to go through this day by day. It is worth while! Will it help any?" "Help? Why, dear. I'm more hopeful tonight than I've been since the beginning," he cried cheerfully. "And what's more, I believe I've got a line on a new clue—that will work up well." "Oh, what?" she cried, sitting up and smiling at him rainbow-wheeled "Just be brave a little longer and trust me." the team that begemned her lashes, and Langdon, holding her hands against his lips, said softly: "Dearest, you know that long after he deliberately planned to strand you, Pollock also backed Daniels to star you. I'm going to summon Daniels and make him explain their exact us sociation, and then I think—the end will be in sight. Just be brave a little longer—and trust me." "Oh, I do—I do," she whispered; and when he left her she followed him to the door and, thrusting her slender hands between the bark, caught him and said in a voice that thrilled with sweetness: "Philip, dear—I am hopeful—and I am brave—don't forget that—and please go home tonight—remembering that beas smiling when I said good-bye." But Philip, burying his face in the slender palms, could not see the bravely sweet smile because of the scalding tears that burned his eyelids, as he hurried down the echoing corridor. --- Can't Wed by Proxy In Boston.

CMS. G. JURGENS SON ESTABLISHED 1830 ADAMS AND BROAD Published every Saturday by John Mitchell, Jr. MI North Fourth St., Richmond, Va. JOHN MITCHELL, JR....EDITOR All communications intended for publication should be sent so as to reach us by Wellington, Kettered at the Post Office at Richmond, Va. so second class master. SATURDAY MARCH 18, 1916 Those of our subscribers who realize that publishing a journal costs a lot of money have been sending us some money to defray the cost. We certainly thank them. We regard Gov. WILLIES of Ohio and Gov. WHITMAN of New York as about two of the best friends that colored folks have among those latter-day statesmen. This is, indeed, a world of trouble; of trials and of tribulations. 'The grave is indeed the final resting place, and most of us, who suffer, should want to fall into it. But we do not wish to do. They are having a big revival in this city, but we do not see that they are getting many whiskey-dealers up to the mourners' bench. They are to angry to even go inside of a praying edifice just now. Well, we have two National Baptist Publishing houses at Nashville, Tenn. now. One is with a printing outfit and the other is without a printing outfit but both have an abundant supply of Baptist literature and Sunday School periodicals. --- A member of the Virginia legislature wanted whiskey labelled poison, with skull and cross-bones on the label and then he voted to permit the sending of one quart of this name "poison" into every home, both white and colored, in the commonwealth of Virginia. A "dead-beat" is a person who owes you money and who will not pay you, giving varied trumped up excuses for not doing so and then tries the same method upon some other honest "soil," who is foolish enough to trust him. A "dead-beat" may be male or female. The colored folks have presented the naming of a leader for them by the white folks, and up to this time, we have seen no indication that they were preparing to name a leader for themselves. On the other hand, they are busily engaged in destroying the aspirations of those even now enjoying the blessings of a divided leadership. Before the army and navy men wanted a big increase, our navy was said to be third in standing with those of the navies of the world. Now that they want more money, they are alleging that it is so far down in the list that a comparison would be ridiculous and this, too, in the face of the fact that England, France and Germany have been steadily losing their veneers. No wonder there is talk about the "pork barrel." The Chicago Defender published the picture of a French General decorating Capt. Williams, colored, formerly a member of the Twenty-fifth United States Infantry. Captain Williams' two sons, William and Jean, are in the military academy of Paris. This was the third decoration that this brave colored man has received at the hands of the French military authorities. The Washington (D. C.) Bee strenuously denies that Rev. S. L. C. Norrums, the brilliant pulpit orator of the A. M. B. Zion Church has decided to enter the Baptist ministry or join that denomination. Well, so much the worms for the Baptists. He would be a valuable addition to their ranks and as they are fighting and he is a fighter, it seems to me that now is an opportunity for him to "come over and join the army." The English grammar, with a few of idioms behind their names and other national designations in abundance in their private "studios," should know and understand that under Baptist tenets, they should submit all disagreements to ecclesiastical councils before proceeding in the courts of the land for an adjustment of their respective grievances. The fact that all efforts to bring about peace is being more or less ridiculed by both sides shows that there is very little religion in the whole business. --- There has been much discussion on the action of St. Louis, Missouri in adopting the segregation ordinances. The vote was 52,220 votes for the ordnances and 17,837 votes against. The total vote cost was 70,097. A constitutional right and privilege cannot legally be nullified or vitiated by the mere majority vote in an electorate.owers conferred by constitutional authority can only be legally revoked by the same mode and method by which they were conferred. But they are doing any and everything these days. The "pork barrel," as used in connection with congressional legislation relates to bills carrying large appropriations of money, in which large corporations and individuals are interested, from the fact that they will be able to furnish supplies to the government and make thousands and millions of dollars as the result thereof. Colored folks have not had the chance or the opportunity to have a "pork barrel" even on a small scale. Money was formerly made at national convention, but even this privilege was taken away on the ground that the colored delegates were venal and corrupt. They were superceded and succeeded by white men, who were more venal and corrupt. --- A New Orleans correspondent to the Odd Fellows Journal writes that the Order is responsible for injuries to candidates for initiation. The suit was brought against the Grand Temple and Tabernacle in the State of Texas of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor of the International Order of Twelve. The correspondent states that no such thing is possible in the Order of Odd Fellows and cites the following extract from the laws of that Order: That candidates shall not be impressed; or in other words, no harsh, nor painful treatment shall be administered to any candidate when being initiated into the mystery of Odd Fellowship We never knew of the existence of that law. We have been puzzled, but after thinking the matter over, we have come to the conclusion that the law must have gone into effect after we were initiated into the mysteries of the Order of Odd Fellowship. If our foretress had been as good as our hindsight, we would have waited until this law had been adopted before sending in our application for membership. THE JACKSON WARD TRAGEDY "The voice of sin is death." It looks strange that on a Sunday evening, in the heart of the colored section of this city that the angel of death should hover and claim for its vietnam, Hanny Tucker, who was snatched from this world "in the gall of bitterness and in the bond of iniquity." You may look at it from any standpoint and distribution is apparent in every account of this awful affair. It is alleged that this place was a questionable resort. The moralists and opponents of vice have succeeded in spreading the evil from one section of this city to the other. You can go in a respectable house on one block and into a disreputable house next door. People, supposed to be of good character, frequent there. be of good character. Frequent these places and, unless death catches them there, the story of their duplicity is never known. But here was, Hikny Tucken' and his alleged wife in this home. Card playing had been indulged in on a Sunday evening, when the church bells were ringing and calling saint and sinner to the anxious seat. Tucken is said to have told his wife to take the pistol and sue if it would go off. He told her to close the door to keep the sound of the report on the inside. Neither believed that it would go off, but they would try it, although any person with three grains of sense would have known that it would have been better to have extracted the cartridges before making the trial. No wonder that one of the jurymen asked if they were drunk. What other question should be asked? Here was a house in which card-playing was going on and whiskey drinking was being practiced on a Sunday evening, and yet the proprietor is allowed, in conjunction with the proprietress, to have done a thing—fire a revolver to bring policemen there, and also to bring the public. There were evidently people there who did not want to be found there, for there was noncompering after the killing. This strange case, this trag only. This problem comes in a somewhat responsible neighbourhood, within two blocks of Van Dyke Park College and within two blocks of Ribbon School. What are the responsible school people of the community to think in the face of this showing? Less than four blocks away was the Fifth Mt. Ribbon Baptist Church, but these people would not visit any of these places. They preferred the good times, which led to death. It is well that CAMBIE TUCKER has been released. She has sent to the other-world her consent and this should be punishment enough for her. Those people, who were there, have sworn that it was an accident, whatever that may have been worth. It has freed her. She is left to contemplate her own wickedness and to seek repentance for her sins at a throne of grace before it is too late. Certainly, the respectable people of the neighborhood should find out just how long this kind of conduct shall be permitted in so-called respectable neighborhoods. Campaigns are being made against whiskey and immorality, but the surface is only being scratched. These kind of places should be blotted out from the neighborhood and these kind of places relegated to the outskirts of the city. If, as a result of this killing, an awakening shall have come to this community, then the killing of Henry Tucker, the good-timer, will not have been in vain. We conclude as we began. Let the wayward ones remember it—"The wages of sin is death." TROUBLE IN THE CAMP. Under the guise and preference of securing a model government and purifying politics the colored citizens of the commonwealth were virtually debied the privilege of exercising all of their rights under the Constitution of the State of Virginia and the laws of the United States. It was pointed out that this would be better for all parties concerned. The experiences of hundreds of years and the warnings of statemen were cast aside. The theorists were in the saddle and the doctrine that taxation without representation is tyranny was regarded with derision. The following editorial from the Richmond (Va.) Times-Dispatch of the 10th inst. is interesting reading: Few persons realize the dangerous possibilities of the closing days of a legislative body. The desire to effect the passage of favorite measures, clogged theretofore by other legislation, is natural. Demands for recognition are frequent. Debate breaks out when least expected. Interruptions for questions and explanations multiply, roll calls and reconsiderations follow, and the result is confusion and delay. It is clear understanding of the scope of the measure. Much is taken for granted. Assurances that it means only this or that are readily accepted and the mill grinds on. And again: The session of the General Assembly of Virginia, now drawing to a close is a case in point. Perhaps the most serious feature of all is the manner in which tax or revenue legislation is being handled. For nearly sixty days the legislature has been in session, but not until the last week have the tax bills been presented. Then the unofficial, but, nevertheless, authentic, word is passed around. "These bills come from the Auditor, and they are passed just as they are drawn!" Here is another specimen of this representative government: It is a matter of history that at the session of 1915 more than a dozen bills "drawn by the Auditor," were passed by the House of Delegates in one roll call. Of course, this was unconstitutional, but that was a more detail. The tax officers had drawn the bills, and the legislature, abandoning entirely, it functions as a deliberative body, simply resolved itself into a registering machine and enacted the bills on bloc. To accentuate the seriousness of the present situation, executive sessions of one of the committees to which the long-postponed tax legislation was referred have been held, and those who appeared to present, what they believed to be valid objections have been told with regret that they could not be heard—that time did not permit. It must be manifest that this is why the new tax legislation than we have no new tax legislation than we have no the real meaning and extent of which the representatives of the people cannot possibly learn in the limited time remaining. Members of the General Assembly would be wise to confine their voting in that which they clearly understand. This then shows the kind and calibre of the white men composing the legislature of Virginia. It is an age of "little men." Those statesmen, who have ability are no longer recognized or considered. Their advice is not sought and when given is consigned to the "scrap pile." A party leader and a statesman of the calibre of How. J. TAYLOR ELLYMOR, whose service to the Democratic Party of Virginia is known of all men, and women too, for that matter, must enter into a vertable scrawl for the nomination as a party candidate for Governor in a context with men, who should only note from him the wish to secure this position of honor in order to bring about their own retirement. We believe that it is a matter of involvement in these issues must ensure properly use the law and administration completely. They have been amount to troubled and now they are the issue of the Democracy Party in France becoming over a question of affair, which has been brought about by the unfair treatment of one of the kindest rooms of people on the face of the globe. THEJAUNTINTOMEXICO. The raid on Columbus, New Mexico, by a band of lawless Mexicans and the catching of the garrison of United States troops unprepared is one of the most humorous incidents in connection with our troubles with Mexico. Were it not for the lives lost, it would occasion a broad smile from one section of this country to the other. This grim humor is emphasized by the sending of five thousand United States troops into Mexico. In doing so, Mr. Negro is given a chance to bleed and die for his country, or rather an opportunity to starve and die for the great republic. When they found themselves in trouble, the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry were found not to have any color, so far as their white comrades could see, for these brave colored men are known to be among the best "rough and ready" fighters in the United States Army. We regard this expedition as being simply a plan to satisfy the public clamor in this country. It will entail an enormous expense with doubtful results. We shall not be surprised to hear that GEN. VILLA will be ready to prove that neither he nor the men under his direct command have been in the neighborhood of the tragedy. Evidently, PRESIDENT WILSON will find himself doing just what he did at Vera Cruz—withdrawing United States troops from Mexican territory and being glad so to do. The rich Americans who own valuable concessions in Mexico want protection for their plants, and; if under any pretense, either five, ten or fifty thousand United States troops can be gotten into the interior to afford this protection, then the full object of this popaganda will have been attained. Certain it is, that PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON has won for his government, the ludicrous designation, "the weather-vane administration at Washington." Mrs. Toler Mays She Tort Up Humble and Humble of Love Letters. The jury before Supreme Court Justice Philinb, which has been hearing the $50,000 alienation suit brought by Mrs. Elizabeth Carey against Mrs. Minerva B. Toler over the affections of Patrick J. Carey, known as "Old Pop," retired to consider the caso shortly before 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. At 6 o'clock it was announced that the jurors were nowhere near an agreement, so a sealed verdict was ordered for Monday. Mrs. Toler was under cross-examination for several hours yesterday by Jerry Carey, attorney for Carey, and although he lured love letters and telegrams sent by her to Carey were read to her she insisted that all were dictated by Carey and that she was "under sentence of death," so she had to write them. Questioning Mrs. Toler concerning a number of numerous verses in his letters to Carey, Mr. Hughes said: "It seems strange that a woman threatened with death, as Mrs. Toler contends she was, would write affectation, sympathetic notes to the man she feared." Mrs. Toler explained it as follows: "I never wrote Carey any poetry. If I did I was under his control and he made me do it. He was the poet. When I used to go skating with him would tear sonnets out of. Tom Moore's book and slip them into my hand. I didn't like it because I was out to skate and not to read poetry on the fly. That isn't the way poetry should be directed." "Mr. Carey wasn't standing over you with a gun when you wrote these letters and telegrams, was he?" asked Mr. Hughes. "No; he was in New York and I was in Rhinebeck a great deal of the time, but still I was under his influence. I was afraid he would carry out his threat to take a train and come up from New York and murder me if I didn't do as he told me. That man wrote me I tails and bushels of love letters, but when I got them I would tear them up. Sometimes my maid would have two or three waste bags of love notes to burn." When Mrs. Toller asked if she could tell where Carry is now plied: "How should I know? His wife is asking me for alienating his affections. Why doesn't she produce him in court?" "Ihn't it a fact," Mrs. Tolter was asked, "that shortly after you met Carry you showed him a bundle of love letters written to you by Joseph Connery, Vice-Consul to Russia, and that you told him you were going to send them back, and did send them back, because Carry was the only man you loved." Mr. Fisher insisted that when she made her "promotional" visit to Cray in Springfield, Illinois, at St. Patrick's Day, 1866, she remained in the railway station, she denied that the path two miles off the railroad. When when she insisted, the matter decided on her in her own hands. --- Wilson V. Brown, attorney for Mrs. Toler, on some occasion, so the best that Chrysler has been in court, although it has been charge, that the suit against Mrs. Toler was not brought in good faith and that he has been on friendly terms with his wife lately. He said Mrs. Toler tried her best to rid himself of Carey when he "butted in," but couldn't. In charging the jury Justice Philbin said that if they found that Carey was not in love with his wife when he met Mrs. Toler they must return a verdict for the defendant, even though they were together a great deal and were in love with each other.—N.

Lester Gowell hillman daughter of Mrs. Lester in 1916 as his husband Mr. North, their mother in the forty-fifth year of her life. The deceased was, and had been, a competent member of the Bible Society Church for 45 years. She was a former member of the church, a Sunday School teacher, and also president of the Dorona Circle of the church. Mr. Stokes was born in Blackstone, Va., and here she had lived with her people during the many years of her life. She was a widow of 15 years Her husband, Mr. Henry Stokes, preceded her to the grave, leaving her to battle with life as it came. She never enjoyed the best of health, and for the past three years she at times was an intense sufferer, but so sunny was her disposition and so brave her spirit, that her most intimate friends little dreamed of the cruel palms that she struggled to smile away. She was a strong Christian character, and bore her affection patiently until the end came. The funeral service was held at the Shiloh Baptist Church Sunday, March 12, in the presence of probably one of the largest number of people that has ever assembled in Blackstone on a similar occasion. The service was solemn and very sympathetic. As the funeral party entered the church, led by Rev. R. W. Ashburn, "Flee As a Bird to Your Mountain," was played very softly by Mrs. L. J. Fitzgerald. The service was opened by singing, "Servant of God, Well Done." Scripture lesson was read by Rev. J. M. Thomas, 90 Psalms. Prayer was offered by Rev. W. M. Ampy, after which the choir sang very sweetly, "Tis So Sweet to Trust In Jesus." Resolutions were read from the Sunday School B. Y. P. U., and the Ladies' Auxiliary, Rev. Ashburn selected for a text, Hebrew, 4th chapter, 9th verse: "There remaineth, therefore, a rest for the people of God." The sermon was very sympathetic and consoling, beautifully portraying the life of the deceased as a strong christian character; one worthy of simulation. Mrs. S. J. Fitzgerald sang a solo very sweetly, "Death Is Only a Dream," with Miss J. L. Cousins, of Farmville, as organist. The doral tributes were many and beautiful from the family and friends. The pall-bearers were: Active—Deacons Woodson, Smith, Travis, Miller, John Royal; Measles, Daniel Spicer, Benjamin Hite and Daniel Fitzgerald. Honorary—Measles. L. A. Spicely, Charlie Edmons, Landus Hicks and James Hicks. Among the out-of-town friends that attended the funeral were Mrs. Ella Reece, of Richmond; Mr. Willie W. Wheeler and Mr. Harvie Brooks, of Farmville, and Mr. Ralph Brown, of Petersburg. The casket was steel-gray plush in design, drop side couch. Funeral Directors Thomas & Williams were in charge of the remains. Dr. T. J. Woolridge, her attending physician, who waited on her so patiently, was with the family. She was a loving mother, devoted sister, a kind and obedient daughter. She leaves to mourn their loss, two more Maurs. Floyd R. Stokes and Willie Maurs. Richmond; one daughter, Mrs Elizabeth A Stokes, of Blackstone; a mother, Mrs. Lilzie Greenhill, of Blackston; three sisters, Mrs. Nellie C. Winston, Mrs. Asey, and Miss Saille L. Greenhill of Blackstone, Va.; three brothers, Mr. Wm. Greenhill, of Norfolk; Mr. Eddle Greenhill, of Richmond, and Paul Greenhill, of Blackston, and a host of friends and distant relatives to mourn their loss, but we feel that our loss is her eternal gain. She was laid to rest in the family plot of Greenview cemetery. Sleep on, loved one, we will meet three where no farewell tears are shed. THE FAMILY. LEENBURG (VA.)

ROBINSON & SON, INO. Too Much Even For Charley SATURDAY.....MARCH 18, 1916 Size Not 'All' In Ring--Tells of Incidents To Prove It. (Text in The Worthington Post) New York, March 8.—"Oh, Willard's for me. Morgan. I don't see how he can loot." That gentleman, in the spiel of the average fight man. Maybe the man is right. You never can tell. Mike doesn't everything in a battle, however. You know a little wife can handle an awful lot of culture faded down. A bearpard, half as big as an orange outstretched, smiles the latter up, and the outstretched, little more than a mountful for the champ, can tear Willard apart. What do you mean he's too big? Was Jim Jeffries, the 220-pound bolderman, too big for Joe Choynaki? The latter fought Jeffries when Jeff tipped the beam at 220, while Joe weighted 157. Jim McDonald, the baseball umpire, was referee. In the early part of the fight Joe gave Jeff his head, thinking that the bolder-make would break his hand on it. Jeff dropped Joe for the count of five, but failed to bust the manger. It was a terrific fight all the way. Joe doing all the batting. At the finish McDonald called to the referee to the referee and asked how about the draw stuff. He thought that Jim declared the fight a draw because Joe scored a knockdown and so owned things up. Choynaki asked: "Can you see anything in a ball game but a home run?" SIZE DONT COUNT WITH DILLON Size means very little in the game of fences unless the men are evenly matched in all departments of the game. Was Tom Cowler, the Man Mountain of Cumberland, too big for Jack Dillon, the Indianapolis middleweight? Huh? Tom lasted two rounds, and outwielded Jack 50 pounds, besides towering over him almost a foot. Joe Walcott, the 145-pound Kogro, took on everything that walked on its hind legs, regardless of color, size or antiquity. The beat Dan Creedon, George Gardner, Fred Russell and Joe Choynski, and he stood a bit more than 5 feet high. Did Joe Driscoll, the English fencerweight, figure size? Not bit. He took on Leach Cross, a husky lightweight, and beat Leach every second of their fight. Abe Attell, weighing 118 pounds, fought Buddy Ryan, the wetterweight champion of the world at the time, and gave Buddy the beating of his young life. Was Buddy too big? Resember Jim Flynn, the little Pimple scream, the night he fought the giant Carl Morris at the Garden. Jim was about half the size of Morris, but remember the sight? It was murder. Carl never even had a look-in and took the beating of his life. Was Carl too big? Boho answers no. KETOHIL BEAT MANY BIG MEN Stanley Kotchel, the Michigan assassin, didn't care how big they were. He fought two men in Boston one night and agreed to stop both, although he was outweighed 50 pounds. One of the men was Porky Flynn. That made Kotchel sick, didn't it? Yes it did! He polished off Porkey in three rounds and then called for the other fellow without even taking a swig from the water bottle. Moran isn't saying a whole lot. He expects to win. Willard's also doesn't bother him. It's what Willard has that will count. Jim Coffey is a much better fighter and boxer than Willard, yet Frank put him away twice. Willard couldn't boat Morris, but Coffey did, and Frank boat Coffey. Moran has the old kick in the right and he has shown us. Wilford has appeared here quite often, and we have failed to see the kitten. Also means nothing if you have it on the other fellow. JESS WILLARD CLOSE TO WEIGHT. Just 5 Pounds Too Heavy. New York, March 9.—After he had finished a stress-free workout at the Pleasant Athletic Club this afternoon, Joe Willard, heavyweight champion, remarked: "Right now I want to say that I won't need to take off more than five pounds to be a real fighting shape." Willard had been tested carefully before he made this assertion and was ringing wet with perspiration at the time. He said he felt like he had lost three pounds during the session, but that he felt "warm." POLLOWS USUAL PROGRAM His exercise today was no different than the usual program. His morning walk or run, for it is a mixture if both, was of about the same length; he bounced with his sparring foot, but he did not the punishing bag to little higher gear when he came to bat part of the session. "From now on the bore will spend up to help guide my way and to lift up matters a bit," he said, and talked: "These days in the early morning I know are doing me as much good as all the week in earnest. I don't mean that it be necessary me to work which is of as much importance. "When you get the porous open and the system throwing off all waste, you're bound to be healthy." EXPECTS TO EARN HIS MONEY. Frank Moran thinks he will earn $22,750, for boxing Willard. He has his reasons. "I have been in the boxing game for about seven years," said Moran. "Before my first bout with Jim Coffee I boxed for what I could get and sometimes I didn't get even that. "When I boxed Jack Johnson in Paris, I received exactly nothing. "I boxed Luther McCarthy in New York several years ago, and received nothing. There are thousands of boxers who have gone through some sort of Willard bout. All that I get out of the Willard bout will be earned—every cent of it." "About the impending fray, Moran said: 'My condition is great and I feel fine. And I'm confident that I'm going to win." 3 'WIVES' CLAIM POET. Spouse No. 2 Asks Warrant Charging Abandonment. Won 'Divorce' From First. Former Stenographer Declares Decree Awarded Physician Won 'Wal-legal' Paid for His Education. Same Prize Won for His Women Love - Had "Soulful Look." Dr Washington Post Chicago. March 4.-Dr. Pearl Wright is a love target. It is his fate that women shall fall in love with him and then give him money. Because the fascinating physician's love cools and he disappears, he is being sought by two, women, both claiming to be his wife. He is being sought by the police on a charge of wife abandonment preferred by Mrs. Wright No. 2, who undishes herself a husband and $3,000 in cash. Wright was an $11-a-week clerk when he met Nellie May Lewis, a stenographer. Miss Lewis became interested in the young man and they were married. SENDS HIM TO COLLEGE His wife sent him to college and worked hard to pay for his training to be a physician. He was graduated from Rush Medical College and went to California, where he obtained a divorce. The wife claimed the divorce was a fraud upon the courts. In California Dr. Wright found his true romantic sphere. He was proficient in poetry. One evening while the ukulele was humming in the shadows and the palm trees were away in the soft breeze he met Mrs. Anthony Margaff, widow of a Chicago banker. This was on the beach at Coronado, and the doctor-poet read her a sonnet of his own composition, in which he called her "My Light." That settled it. Mr. Margaff soon became Mrs. Muir, full Wright, two weeks ago, after they had been married six months. Dr. Wright borrowed $3,000 from his wife to use in establishing him in his profession, and made an appointment to meet her in a downtown restaurant. Mrs. Wright waited at the restaurant two hours or more for the doctor-poet, but in vain. TELLS HER TO READ POETRY Mrs. Wright, fearful that some ill had befallen her husband, hurried to their home in Hyde Park. She found a note saying it was better thus, and advising it to seek consolation in poetry. Instead of turning to poetry, the second Mrs. Wright hired detectives and traced her husband to California. She has now obtained a warrant against him charging wife abandonment, and authorizes California will be asked to put Dr. Wright in some place where he can meditate and compose verse until his wife No. 2 is ready to have him brought back to Chicago. And now appears Alma Junge, who claims to be Mrs. Paul Wright No. 2 or No. 3—not particular about the number, but sure of the facts. When Mrs. Wright, who was Mrs. Margraff, was consulting with her attorney, James E. Callahan, Mrs. Junge-Wright appeared and made a request that Calahan brought back from the glorious climate of California. Mrs. Junge-Wright declares she was married to the physician in Milwaukee in 1911. HAD A SOULFUL LOOK. Mrs. Junge-Wright then related her experience. She had met the young physician, and he had regarded her with a soulful look, and his lips had spoken to her an original poem, in which he called her, "My Light." Mrs. Wright the second expresses confidence in her husband. She says, "He must have met with an accident. We never had any trouble, and I gave him all the money he needed. I went to see his sister, who is the wife of Stanley Gage, of Wilmette. She advised me to forget the doctor, and Mr. Gage told me to get a divorce. I am going to get my money back and my husband, too, if I have to toil lowin to California. I have this note for the money. He end he wanted ed it to 'get started.'"

[New York Sun] A story of adultered love making was told in the Supreme Court yesterday by Mrs. Minerva B. Toler in her suit to avoid paying the $50,000 damages asked for, in the alienation suit brought by Mrs. Elimabeth Carey for the lost affections of Patrick J. Carey, father, of Mrs. Carey's thirteen children, and known to his intimates as "Old Pop." Mrs. Toler, who is the widow on John Waste De Puyter Toler, grandson of Gen. John Waste De Puyter, told the jury before Justice Philips that she didn't know Carey was married until the last day he called on her, when he attempted to shoot her and the revealed the fact that he had kept all of her letters and that his wife knew all about their love affair. Until then, she said, he had led her to believe that he was an Irish baron with a varied assortment of castles in the old country. Mrs. Toler justified under examination her testimony, William J. Morris, that she was living at River Edge, N. J., and that she had been a widow for five years. She has a son 8 years old. She first met Carey on December 23, 1913, when she and her sister, Mrs. Florence Brundage, were occupying a box at the Riverside Theatre, and Carey, who had a seat behind her, told her she needn't remove her hat. HE TOLD OF WEALTH, SAYS WIDOW. "We naturally drifted into conversation," said Mrs. Toler, "and Carey told me that he was a wealthy dealer in real estate with an office at Fifth avenue and Forty-second street. My husband's grandfather, Gen. De Puyster, owned property at Sixth avenue Forty-second street, and when I mentioned it he seemed to know all about the property, so I believed him." Mrs. Toler said that she next saw Carey early in January, 1914. She was again in the theatre box. Carey's friend, Samuel W. Davie, a plumber, who has testified for Mrs. Toler, was with him. She testified: "Carry asked if he could call at my apartment, at 215 West 101st street and I asked him at once if he were married," she said. "He said he was a widower with four children, so I told him he could call at a time when I knew others would be there. Instead of waiting, until the appointed time he came the next day at noon with a box of jack roses just as I was leaving for a luncheon at the Hotel Knickerbocker. He told me he was sorry that the roses were red, because they didn't match my gray gown, but I told him I didn't mind. From that day on he telephoned me three, or four times a day, and finally late in January he wrote me a letter in which he called me Paty. The next time he called he said he lived with his sisters, I was afraid of him from the second time I saw him, and got my sister, Mrs. Brundage, to live with me." HEARS OF CASTLES IN IRELAND Mrs. Toler said that Carey called four times in February and on Febuary 14 he invited himself to a St. Valentine's party she gave, at which her pastor, the Rov. Father Murray and her attorney, William H. Edwards, were among the guests. Carey explained his coming without an invitation by saying that he wanted to meet Father Murray. "When the party was over," said Mrs. Toler, "Carey told me he was breaking up his shooting lodge in Malino and asked me if I wanted two mounted deer heads and I accepted them. The next morning his brother Engene called with a note and said that he was coming over later with the heads and some guns. When he arrived he told me that he had many relatives in Ireland who were dukes and lords and that he had many castles there. He said the man who brought the note in the morning was not his brother, but an old family servant who had been in his employ for years, but I remarked that there was a striking resemblance between them. "In March Carey called on me and said he was going away because I didn't love him. He took a picture of me in a small frame from the manch and put it in his pocket over my objections. He then took one of a girl from the pocket and tore it up saying, 'This is Teasle. I am through with her.' At the same, time he walked away with a chiffon heart given to me by my friend Mrs. Slocum, which had cost 80 cents." [This was 'the heart which Carey's wife testified came to her husband through the mail and which, she said, her husband admitted came from Mrs. Toler. He also told his wife that the St. Valentin's party to which Mrs. Toler said he invited himself was a birthday party given in his honor. THREATS OF SUICIDE IN LETTER. "Carey went to Springfield, Mass. about this time and wrote me from there that he wanted me to come up and see him," said Mrs. Toler. "He wrote me if I didn't come he would kill himself and would pin my picture and a note on his body. He said: That would look nice in the news papers, wouldn't it? It would be fine for you and your son." Mrs. Toler hurried me to come to Springfield and finally I went there on March 21 for the sole purpose of getting my picture. I asked him for it as soon as I saw him and he said: "I'll give it to you when I get good and ready. If that's what you came for you might as well go back. Didn't you come to my good-by?" I told him no and returned home." Mrs. Toler said that Carey called to see her in April and that at his books was his sister, Sarah. She testified that Carey, writing her two books said: Oh, Carey, I'm the two brother. Can't you do something for him? Can't you tell him a few words of love?" The widow said that a few days later Coray telegramd from New Jersey and said: "Two guys over here to get what I couldn't get in New York—a reporter. M. you watch the newspaper you'll see I did for the You understand you were covered over by the news and didn't see me until it hit in my ear. John. How keeps these about her if the ever wrote me my letters and she rested; "Yes, I had to, under sentence of death. He distracted all those letters Mr. Hughes (Mrs. Carey's attorney) has been reading to the jury. He would write to me at my country, telling me what he was doing and just what he was in my republic. He would write, "If you don't write what I send you I'll take the next train to Rhode Island and kill you." He heard I was doing anything like going in bathing or walking he would write about these things. He said that even if he killed me he might save my child. It was nothing but 'kill' and 'murder' all the time. He made me send him many telegraphs I might like rat in a trap. Mr. Hughes wrote to me 218 letters, all of which she destroyed, telling her what to send in reply and she sent him 207 letters and telegraphs. "I returned from Rhinebeck about the middle of September, 1814," said Mrs. Toller, "and on September 16, in the morning, Carey came into my apartment. He took off his cuffs rolled up his sleeves and said he was going to murder me. He said: 'Have you got anything to say?' and I replied: 'Are you crazy, Pat?' and he said: 'Are you going to marry me and go away with me?' and I told him no. DESCRIBES STRUGGLE WITH CAREY. "Then Carey started for the closest where the guns were kept and I began to struggle with him. I tried to go to the telephone and he said: 'If you go to the phone I'll shoot you in the back, and if you come toward me I'll shoot your eyes out, and if that doesn'till hit you the butt.' He got the shotgun and I then began screaming. "What are you so unlucky in and asked, 'What are you so unlucky in and asked?' Carey then took my son into the parlor. In the struggle my skirt was torn off and my wrist was black and blue. Just then his sister came in and said Pat was dangerous. "Finally Carey came out of the bedroom and threw a piece of paper on the table. He said: 'Read that! I've got you and that woman has got you. You're like a rat in a trap.' I proceed to be the agreement which Carey can make. The husband had forced her to sign by her she promised not to mention Mrs. Toler's name if she asked for a divorce. Mrs. Toler testified that Carey told her that his sister had all of the letters that the widow had written him. "He told me he would cause trouble with them," said Mrs. Toler. "He had planned it when he found that I didn't care for him. The widow asked for the Carey but once after that, when he was standing on the street looking up at her apartment at 2 A. M. She denied every statement made by the witnesses for Mrs. Carey which in any way involved her. Her testimony was not concluded. Mrs. Florence Brundage, sister of the widow, was called as a witness for the Part of her testified money, was like the of Mrs. Toler. She testified that Carey said: "I love her, O God, I love her and I want to marry her." Mrs. Brundage said that when she told Carey that he could not have Mrs. Toler he replied, "Damn it, if I can't have her no one else shall. If I can't get her by fair means I'll have her by foul. I've got the whole damn Carey family afraid of me." Mrs. Brundage said she replied: "I feel the same way. I'm afraid of you too." She said Carey told her that he was a millionaire. William H. Edwards, who said he had been Mrs. Toler's attorney for sixteen years, testified that Mrs. Carey came to see him and asked what kind of a woman Mrs. Toler was. She told him that her husband was "mad over dress and women" and that he had been in trouble for a number of years because of his escapades with women: "He is loafed and drank while I worked." Mrs. Carey told the lawyer. The HOME-MADE LOVE TEST. Wife Tells How to Prove A Husband Is False. Mrs. Carey, Mother of 13 Children, Accuse Mrs. Toler, Wealthy Widow, of Allenating Affections of Carey— Postcards Among Symptoms of Mis- placed Affection. New York, March 11.—A homemede test, by which all wives who suspect their husbands of being in love with another woman may determine the birth, was described here by Mrs. Elizabeth Carey, mother of thirteen children, who recently snied Mrs. M. E. Toler, wealthy widow of John Watta the Peyster family, descendant of the Peyster family, for $50,000, for alleged alienation of the affections of Patrick J. Carey. The test which Mrs. Carey told Justice Philbin and a jury in the justice court, was infiltrible in her own case, after she had been happily married for 24 years, is applied as follows. If your husband dresses, recordts of expense, and gets a seduction, though baleted, fancy fun, medium apparel, it time to become sensuous. GOES TO THEATER WITHOUT WIFE. If he goes to the theater without you, and does not come home until early in the morning, its time to begin questioning him. If he gives unsatisfactory answer to every question you ask him, it is time more timely to qualify of paying attention to his questions. And, if he fails to answer point cards or bingo, continuing questioning from the beginning may be the worst in the event of the discharged. The retiring treatment him, Cleared added, is required for the writer to complete an examination to keep off of the public. The stalking by submarines of two British ships, one of which the crew were, was either killed or drowned, in imported London as the beginning of the new German submarine, policy of stalking, caused more than vessels without warning. Despatches received in Berlin say the French have been forced out of France, an important highway and railroad center, in the Woeuvre region, southwest of Verdun. This victory was on Monday, it was stated. Madrid reports that Germany has sent an ultimatum to Petrograd, demanding the release within forty-eight hours of German ships requisitioned in Portuguese harbors during the last few days. A Vienna despatch says Prince Mikhail, second son of Klar Nicholas of Montagene, is dealing with Austrian authorities, and claims he has royal authority to do so. THURSDAY. The German offensive against Verdun has been renewed, the attack centering near Freesport, east of Verdun, which Berlin Monday asserted had been captured. French reports say the attacks have been repaired. Paris estimates the German casualties during the ten days of fighting at from 120,000 to 160,000 men. Berlin official reports say French attacks on Fort Doumont have been defeated, and that Fort Vaux, five miles northeast of Verdun, has been destroyed by cannon fire. Military exports in London and Paris speculate whether the Verdun movement is the real German spring offensive. Some profess to believe another, and possibly stronger, movement may be launched at the milled lines at a point near Paris. FRIDAY. A renewal of the German offensive at Verdun has been begun against the French lines north of the fortress. Artillery and infantry are being used in the attack, which is being pressed with redoubled energy. Paris reports say repeated attempts by the Germans to take Vaux, five miles northwest of Verdun, failed, after the attacking forces had met with "gruel losses." Berlin announces that the Germans took the village of Dounauon, north of Verdun, in a bloody fight. Artillery attacks were made against Malacourt and Harcourt-Lourraine, northeast of Verdun. In the meantime, the British have begun an offensive in Flanders, and Berlin admits the English forces broke through German positions south of Ypres. A declaration in an Italian newspaper which is regarded as having been inspired by the Salandra ministry, says Italy will not declare war upon Germany at this time. SATURDAY Paris reports violent German artillery attacks north of Verdun, but says infantry actions have ceased. The fighting for the village of Doussan, regarded as the key to the defences north of Verdun, which Berlin claimed to have captured, is described as most desperate. The French say their guns on surrounding heights dominate this position. Berlin wireless despatches assert that two French auxiliary cruisers and a British patrol boat have been sunk by German submarines. French newspapers deny the loss of the cruisers. Official announcement by the French ministry of marine shows that the loss on the auxiliary cruiser Provence, which was in the Mediterranean, was about $110 men chiefly troops. Russian forces, pressing south from Erzurum, have taken Bille, in Armenia. SUNDAY The great battle of Verdun for the present is a struggle of heavy artillery, with the French guns balting all German attacks. Paris reports the repulse of the only attack launched by the Teutons. Berlin despatches tell of the effective French gun fire in that region and report the evacuation of trenches in the forest of Thierville. The German commerce raider Moewe, after a cruise of several months, during which fifteen allied vessels were sunk, eluded the British fleet in the North sea and reached Wilhelmshaven. One hundred and ninety-one prisoners were aboard, together with 226,000 in gold taken from the raider's victims. Reuter's Athens correspondent reports the Turks sweeping the mines from the Dardanelles preparatory to opening the straits. MONDAY Henry, artillery, action continued near Verdon, according to Paris despatches, but infantry attacks for the present have ceased. The Germans announce the capture of 1000 French officers and men near Verdon. The French shelled German positions, in the Chappy-forêt; in the Argonne region. Northeast of Vermelles, in Flanders, Berlin reports, attacks of the British have been repulsed. Twelve persons were killed and thirty three injured in a Zappell raid over the English coast coast. Trekland, the Turkish Black Sea port, has been shelled by Rumset warships. London has the Turkish government is weakening, that Ottoman troops are quitting Palestine, and that the projected attack upon Egypt has been abandoned. A new British relief expedition is being sent to Kutat-Amara, in Mozambique. ROBERT C. SCOTT, Pensal Director FIRST CLASS LIVERY. OFFICE 2220 E. MAIN ST. TELEPHONE, RANDOLPH 2073.

MAN WHO TAUGHT THE GERMANS EFFICIENCY SAYS AMERICAN WOMEN ARE TO BLAME FOR 57 KINDS OF INEFFICIENCIES It's the Woman Who Molds the Man, Declares Prof. Grimshaw, and So She's at FaultTakes Rap at Anything and Everything in Our Lives and Then Adas a Few Opinions for Good Measure. Prof. Robert Grimshaw, of New York University, was for 20 years an efficiency expert in Germany. You must admit that a man who can teach efficiency to the Germans has qualified as a super-expert. So you will be grieved to learn that Prof. Grimshaw thinks, the United States has 67 varieties of inefficiency and that American women are responsible for every brand of it and consequently are about the worst failures in the world. Prof. Grimshaw, tall, gray, distinguished, and in appearance accentuating just a little bit the first syllable of his name, launched his views on the inefficiency of Americans in general, and American women in particular, at a dinner given in New York the other night. MADE IT ALL CLEAR. And when I asked him to tell me just how and why we were inefficient, so we may mend our manners, he did it in such a thoroughly efficient way that I felt. for a moment as if I could not get the possible result from myself without a given quantity of cyanide, so as to qualify at least as an efficient corpse. For Prof. Grimahaw defines efficiency as "getting the best possible result with a given effort or a given result with the least possible effort—determining what are the desirable things of life and attaining them with the least expenditure of time, money and 'gray matter.'" "Women are to blame for American inefficiency." Prof. Grimshaw told me, "because men are what women make them: You have us for the first six years of our lives entirely and partially during all the remainder. You know our weak points and appeal to them. You do not even select us efficiently. You choose the husband with the blood mustache, the pretty blue eyes and the broad moulders and the shiny white teeth." NOT BUGENIC, NOR AFFICIENT. "Well, why not?" I asked. "That's organic, surely." "No, it's not," snapped Prof. Grim show. "That also eyed, yellow man often failow may not be 4 per cent efficient generally. Now, if a vulturn women figure on marrying a vulturn man she can't help having a vulturn child. New York, you know, is the rurbanest city in the world and New York women are responsible for that, too." "What are some of the 57 varieties of instability in the United States for which American women are responsible?" I asked with impatient wobble. SURMARIOUS WOOD SUR. We are satisfied by your letter, we are satisfied by your letter. We are satisfied by your letter, we are satisfied by your letter. some, even a peasant man. How you don't get any? What about the impatient development? For you were sure, in a damp natural living in the chapel devoted to Dear, Boston 47, dealt with Bent' Tula. It consisted of one line: 'Dear have no talk.' SEES INEFFICIENCY EVERY WHERE. "We are inefficient in speech, inefficient in body, inefficient in agriculture. We per cent of the lumber out in the United States goes to sawdust. Some of it, to be sure, is utilized for strewing barrow scorn. We are agriculturally inefficient. The United States grows sixteen bushels of wheat to the acre, Germany $1 bushel on poor soil; England $2. France grows three crops to the acre. Between her grape vines she plants agaragus. And on the vine leaves she cultivates a crop of edible snails!" "But Americans don't eat snails," I protested feebly. "Yes, they do," replied Prof. Grimshaw, firmly. "A nation that will eat cels will eat anything." "GRAFTON" INSTEAD OF NEW YORK. "We are inefficient municipally," he continued. "If I ever fall so low as to be sent to the New York legislature I shall introduce a bill changing the name of New York city to Graton. There, by the way, is a branch of activity in which America leads the world—the form of a aboriculture known as grafting. "We are physically inefficient; no man is efficient physically who cannot stand on one foot and put on the other shoe while in that position. No man is efficient who cannot run a mile. No man is efficient who cannot lie down and touch the floor with his face without breaking his back, as men with bay windows are bound to do. We are inefficient in speech. Philadelphia says. I'm going da-own to buy a pa-ound of bra-own sugar, in New York the speech of the Bowery, prevails generally, and the newspapers with their illiterate comics are doing the best they can to spread it. Do you know what a native of this country is called in Chicago? An Ammurikin!" The professor was interrupted at this point by loud cheers from me. If any one can make the people of this country realize the frightfulness of their enunciation and pronunciation, more power to him, say I. PROFESSOR'S JOKE WITH DIAGRAM. "We suffer in New York from ice in our streets and slush in our subway. That," Prof. Grimshaw explained with unnecessary kindness, "is a playful allusion to the subway slush fund." "I believe you are among those who think that America will be flooded with cheap products from the bankrupt belligerents after the war; and that we must revise our tariff to meet this emergency," I said. "We can't build a tariff wall that will be high enough," Prof. Grimshaw replied. "If we do, Europe will boycott our products. When I was in Germany, an American sewing machine company started a plant there. It was said that 2,000 working men employed in it would put $5,000 other German workmen, out of work. Well, pages appeared in the newspaper. 'A German sewing machine in a German home.' It worked. For the Germans are patriotic. They know how to organize. WAGES MUST COME DOWN. "As a result of the war wages in this country will have to come down. They are three times too high now. Labor represents 80 per cent of the net cost of our products today. Do you know what all this agitation for minimum wages for women will do? If successful it will throw a lot of inefficient girls out of employment and put them on the streets. When I went to work I got 50 cents a week, but I was not worth 14 cents. I was employed in the drafting department of a shipping concern, and I was worth less than nothing because I wasted a lot of paper and the time of a $5 a week employ who had to tell me how to do things. It's useless to say that because I could not get board for less than $5 a week my employer should have paid me $5. The employer sells dollars, the employ brains or sweet. How can an employer pay a girl $8 a week who does not sell $4 worth of goods a week for him? Philanthropy is not efficiency," the professor ended. I am'glad it's not. GERMANS DEVISE LOWFLYING ARMORED AIR CRAFT. Lessens Danger From An Anti-Aircraft Gun. London, Feb. 18—No one will deny that the Germans are a very thorough people, and they are displaying their thoroughness in social matters as much as in the organization of their army and in the feeding of their people. Comparatively early in the war we discovered in our cost that their misadventure gave emblem to our own in size and number as well as in the accuracy of their shooting, through possibly this latter quality may be attributable to the experience of their Germans rather than to any general regular workethi- ting in the police department. In a letter of the diplomatic and of our rapidly a growing digit on our computer. Then the Government developed at comparatively short notice the much advertised Falkner microphone, with the intention of bringing down all aircraft which were set out the effective range of anti-aircraft guns. In this phase of aircraft warfare we shall no doubt beat the enemy in time, just as we have been him on the ground with our heavy artillery, and in the art of trench warfare; but, as in usual, owing to our national characteristic of "waiting and seeing" what the other fellow does, our lesson is cooling us somewhat dearly. OBLIGED TO FLY TOO HIGH. As the result of our lessons in anti-aircraft gunnery we have acquired developed anti-aircraft artillery which has been, so far as its numbers permit, quite as effective as the German guns, and consequently the Germans have found that their air scouts also have to fly at enormous heights to escape being brought down whenever they cross our lines. Both sides find, somewhat naturally, that from a height of 10,000 feet or more it is exceedingly difficult to identify objects on the ground, and although it may be comparatively easy to photograph the precise lines of the enemy's trenches, or even to identify the young fortresses they have built at certain important points in their trench lines, it is far from easy to spot gun emplacements unless one can catch the enemy gun actually in the act of firing. Therefore the ingenious German has now apparently produced a new form of aeroplane which is actually a development of very primitive ideas. This is a very fast machine, though not perhaps as fast as the Fokker 'destroyer," which is designed for the express purpose of flying so low down that it can observe our position at close range. In order to de this it is obvious that such a machine must fly where it is below the effective range of our anti-aircraft guns, that is to say, so low that it is impossible to manoeuvre the gun with any hope of soaring a direct hit, and also below the height at which shells can be burst with any accuracy. HEAVILY ARMORED This equally, of course, means that the machine is well inside the range of rifle and machine gun fire. Therefore this new German machine is heavily armored about the body, so that the pilot, passenger, tanks and engine are thoroughly well protected against small-arm bullets. Naturally it is impossible to arm the wings, propeller and tail part of the machine, but it has been proved by the aviators on both sides that these component parts of an aeroplane can be perforated with bullets hundreds of times without any serious effect. Over and over again our own pilots have come in with bullet holes right through their spars and struts, and with pieces cut out of their propellers by a craspnel bullets. Even large chunks of shell have gone straight through wings without fetching the machine down. Consequently the rife bullets—which are of course the same as machine gun bullets—can punch hundreds of holes without serious effect, unless one of them happens to have the luck to hit a vital control wire or stay wire. These fittings, however, can be duplicated or multiplied, and so it is possible to produce, as Prof. Lancaster of the Government Advisory Committee for Aeronautics and over a year ago in print, an aerosplane which is impervious to bullets in its vital parts and "transparent" to bullets as to the rest of its anatomy. THE "COPPER BELLY." Seemingly the Germans have accomplished this with characteristic thoroughness, for I hear that an aeroplane answering exactly to this description has been seen flying regularly over that portion of the lines known as the "Ypres Salient." This machine is known to our people in that portion of the world as "copper belly," owing to the fact that the body is apparently covered with a copper colored metal. The coloring may be due either to the gleams of the sun low down in the worst reflecting on a steel body or it may be that the Germans have discovered some copper colored aluminum alloy which is found to be bullet proof as heat treated steel and yet lighter. The Germans know, of course, the importance of the Salient, and have doublets felt on their own side of the lines the power of the British artillery located in that district. It is obviously of the greatest interest to them to discover just where our batteries are located, and presumably this low down type of air scout has been evolved expressly for that purpose. It is certainly another useful lesson for us in German efficiency. Power to License Roll Chains.

Three Zeppelins took part in the attack. An official bulletin says: "After crossing, the coast the airships took various courses, and from the devious nature of their flight, apparently we were uncertain as to their bearings. The area visited include Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, Rutland Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk Easley and Kent. "As far as it is known, about forty bombs were dropped altogether.

PARTY LINES WIPED OUT Lower Chamber Follows Senate, Deciding Rights of American Citizens Must Not be Abridged. The United States house of representatives upheld President Wilson in his position that American citizens should not be warned off armed merchantmen of belligerent nations, by tabling the McLamore resolution (which provided for stolon "warning") by an overwhelming vote — almost two to one for thus suppressing that measure. The vote was yes, 276; navy, 143. The vote was largely on non-partisan lines, and the dominant note of the debate that proceeded the final vote was that the president should not be embarrassed in his dealings with Germany, or any other power, by the utterances or intervention of congress. The disposition of the McLemore resolution followed that of the Gore resolution, which the senate tabled last Friday by a vote of sixty-eight to fourteen; and signifies the majority in both branches of congress disproves of a "warning." Among those who voted to support the president were Republicans from Pennsylvania. Before the final vote on tabling, two test votes had taken place. By substantial majority, each indented the president's attitude. In quick succession the house rejected proposals to allow anti-administration amendments to the McDamone resolution, and then adopted a special rule to consider the resolution itself, the administration decree hosting the opposition by votes of 366 to 160 and 371 to 124, respectively. President Wilson remained in the cabinet ream with several members of the cabinet to hear the result of the vote on the "previous question" in the house. He was held the result was a victory for the administrations and expressed satisfaction. He did not hear the final vote on the issue.

John Miller, accused of killing his twenty-one-year-old son, cyrus Miller, in sight of the boy's mother and sisters, last summer in Lebanon, Pa. will not stand trial. District Attorney Paul G. Adams, with the consent of Judge Henry, agreed to accept a plea of second degree murder. The case attracted state-wide interest when Rev. Dr. Henry Stough attempted to preach on the subject, but was restrained by an injunction issued by Judge Henry at the instance of District Attorney Adams. The trial of the accused father was postponed twice, owing to the motor-ly given the case by Dr. Stough's announced intention to preach on the subject.
