NET VOLUME XXXIII, NO. 23 DIED IN UNDERTAKER'S CARRIAGE TWO FUNERAL DIRECTORS AND THE SAME BODY. Miller's Hotel the Scene and Brooklyn, N. Y., the Place Where the Body Was Shipped. Clarence E. Mayo died suddenly on Leigh Street in a carriage standing at Miller's Hotel, last Sunday morning at about 3 o'clock. He had just entred the carriage to go to the station and go to Brooklyn, N. Y. It seems that Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Mayo, Sr., live in Brooklyn. Their son had been quite ill with pulmonary tuberculosis, which is the modern name for consumption, and they sent him to Buckingham County with the hope that it would benefit his health. WANTED TO GO HOME. He expressed a desire to return home and his brother, Charles E. Mayo, Jr. undertook the task of carrying him home. He arrived in this city Saturday night, 15th inst. He went to Miller's Hotel, where he spent the night. The next morning Mr. Miller, the proprietor, telephoned to Mr. A. D. Price to send a carriage to take the guests to the station. The ill man had not been in the carriage but a moment when he collapsed, and Dr. Roune was summoned. Life had fled. THE AMUSING PART Then came a gruesome but an amusing part of the affair. The body was in Mr. Price's carriage. Mr. Price was an undertaker. Funeral Director Z. D. Lewis Jr., lives next door to Dr. Roane's office and he had been over there and gotten permission from the brother to take charge of the body. Mr. Price's driver got the hint and he suddenly found it necessary to go to the Price establishment just a few yards below. Undertaker Lewis took Mr. Mayo down to Mr. Price's with him to get the body out of the Price carriage. DRESSED QUICKLY. Mr. Price was not up then, they said, but any one would have thought he was, judging by the length of time it took him to pull on his pantaloons and other things. Another one of the Price drivers tried to get the driver on the carriage containing the body to drive into the barn. He was somewhat superstitious and healtated. He didn't want to be driving the body around. Anyway, the carriage was gotten on the premises of Mr. Price. Undertaker Lewis had the nerve to cross the Price threshold, but he made a mistake. THE PRICE HEAD Mr. Price's head appeared and he invited the mourning brother into his private office, and forgetful of the fact that he was accompanied by Undertaker Lewis, he shut the door. There was a communion of some sort on the inside. When the brother came out, he was a converted man, so to speak, and he withdrew his order to deliver the body to Undertaker Z. D. Lewis, Jr. The mistake made by Undertaker Lewis was in not holding the live body at Rev. Z. D. Lewis' residence, free from the persuasive influence of Undertaker Price and then taking an order, for, the dead body in the carriage of the leading undertaker of Richmond. YOUNG UNDERTAKER'S NERVE One thing is certain, young Lewis certainly has nerve if he risked going into Funeral Director A. D. Price's undertaking rooms to get a body, even upon the order of the mourning brother from New York. The remains were shipped to Brooklyn Sunday afternoon, whereas, the live man was expected to leave that morning for the same place. "In the midst of life, we are in death." Editor Caldwell III.

C., April 17.--The Supreme Court today caused widespread surprise when it announced that the case involving the Louisville segregation ordinance, argued last Friday, had been set for reargument "before the full bench." The action, rarely taken by the court, either means that the jurists regard it as of such importance that it should be reviewed again, or that the court is evenly divided on the decision and must await the appointment of a successor to the late Justice Lamar before a majority opinion is handed down. The Louisville ordinance, drawn along the lines of the segregation measures of Richmond, Baltimore, Atlanta and St. Louis, has been attacked as a violation of both the spirit and the letter of the fourteenth amendment to the Federal Constitution. And the decision which will be rendered is expected to support or invalidate the segregation ordinances of the various cities which have sought to bar the Negro from certain residential sections. It was expected that the Supreme Court would act quickly on the appeal following the final argument, and when that body announced today that it was deemed expedient to order a reargument before a full court all interests were taken by surprise. Ex-Army Men To Hold Big Meeting All soldiers of the Army, U. S. Volunteers, the Navy or any who have been in the service under the control of the War or Navy Departments, who served an engrish or an enlisted men in the war between the United States and the Kingdom of Spain or at any time during the war for the suppression of the insurrection in the Philippines prior to July 4, 1902, who have been honorably discharged from the service, are called to a Mass Meeting at Johnson's Auditorium, No. 10 W. Leigh Street on Sunday, April 23rd, at five o'clock P. M. Very important. W. H. Anderson, F. E. Mangrum, Luciong Stors, formerly of the Sixth Virginia Regular Infanty Volunteers --- Hugh W. Thomas Wanted. Some information is wanted of the whereabouts of Hugh W. Thomas, who was born in Essex County, Va., about 19 years ago, his father, William L. Thomas, died when he was two years old, and his mother, Mary Thomas, formerly Mary Paroons, took him to Richmond. She died soon afterwards leaving him with an aunt, Helen Paroons. When last heard of, he was living on or near St. Paul Street, Richmond, Va. If he is living, and will write to his aunt, Mrs. Frances Bundy, Occupanda, Va., he will learn something of interest to him. HAMPTON MGRGREGATION HERE EASTER MONDAY. Union Confident of Victory Virginia Union's varality's fight with the Hampton nine over the elusive Dame Victory is the attraction staged for the holiday crowds in Hovey Park, University grounds, on Easter Monday, April 24th, at 3:30 P. M. This game is now regarded as the Annual Easter Classic in baseball history of Richmond, as these two teams have played each year on this holiday for several years: Many years have elapsed since victory has perched upon the Union banner of Red and Steel, for the Hampton machine has proved too strong. The locals best chance for defeating the Institute nine came two years ago when the contest was Union's by a 1-0 score, until the last scene of the ninth act, when a wild pitch netted the visitors three tallies; and the game ended with Union swinging on the smaller end of the 3-1 result. For Hampton, the same indomitable Wright will perform the twirling functions, white in all probability, Hill will don the mask as receiver. Crawley is slated to open the engagement for Union. Union realizes her opportunity of 'defeating Hampton with Crawley at the helm; and she plans to send the visitors skulking back to their tents with a defeat as their only share of the proceeds. The Lincoln aggregation will follow Hampton for a game with Union on Saturday, April 29th, at 3:30 P. M. —Rev. B. C. Thompson, D. D., of Beaver Dam, W. Va. was in the city this week and called on us. —Mr. George H. Johnson, the popular assistant to W. J. Johnson, has been appointed for a week. His office will be for the entire month. EDITOR MITCHELL'S TROUBLES Arrested for Following His Profession. Two New Policemen Make an Egregious Blunder. White Business Men Solidly Against Them Some Colored People in the Community that They are Bound to Respect Polite and Upright Conduct Has Its Reward. JUSTI@E @RUT@HFIELD DISMISSES @ASE. John Mitchell, Jr., editor of The Planet was arrested Saturday afternoon at about 5:15, 15th inst. at Fifth and Broad streets upon the charge of disorderly conduct and refusing to move when ordered by the police-officer. He was hustled into a police patrol wagon and carried to the Second Police Station, after having been sent through old Jackson Ward, which ward he formerly represented in the board of Aldermen of Richmond. He was garrenced at the Second Police Station. INFORMATION FLASHED This information was flashed through the city on Saturday evening and it created a sensation among both white and colored people. That he did not resist and that bodily harm did not come to him, together with the fact that he kept a "cool head" throughout, only prevented one of the worst riots ever heard of in this section. White people were about as indignant over the affair as the colored and from their actions some of them were even more so. Mayor George Ainslie was outspoken in his regrets. THE CHIEF ACTIVE Chief of Police Louis Werner was also active and he made every effort to adjust the matter. Whether the affair was the result of a "Comedy of Errors" or a case of willful race prejudice will ever remain a mystery. Editor Mitchell was released on his own recognition soon after arriving at the Second Police Station. As for the colored people, they were "up in arms," so to speak. They were indignant, but voiced one opinion and that was that "they had struck the right man," so to speak, one who could take care of himself. WHITE FOLKS ABOUTED Editor Mitchell's white friends were indignant and they proceeded to take active steps to have the case dismissed at the Second Police Station, without a trial, but the police-officers were obdurate. They insisted that the editor should be fined and all the persuasive power of the leading citizens, including the interest of the Chief of Police, Mr. Louis Werner and his ablest officials did not change them. When the case was taken up Monday morning, they sent word to Editor Mitchell, or rather expressed a willingness to drop the case if Editor Mitchell would agree not to attack them in the Planet. THAT COMPROMISE PROPOSITION Whether this came from the officers direct is not known, but it was brought to Editor Mitchell as an expression of their wishes. Then came a proposition to drop the matter, if Editor Mitchell would plead guilty. The gentleman to whom the proposition was submitted is quoted as saying that he would not submit it, saying, "You know John Mitchell." The opinion among both the white and the colored people seemed to be unanimous. "JUSTICE JOHN" WORRIED. Police Justice Crutchfield, before whom the case was to be tried stated privately that he did not go to church Sunday, on account of the white friends, who had become interested in the case. They practically besieged him in behalf of John Mitchell, Jr. Among the active members were Leroy E. Brown, Eq. of the firm of Moors J. Thompson Brown and Company; Col. James J. Pollard of the firm of Moors. Pollard and Budby and a member of Governor Mary C. Stuart's staff, Hsu. Oliver J. Sparks, President of the American National Bank and one of the leading members of the United States, Sir William C. Oates, Treasurer. OTHER CITIZENS ACTIVE President W. H. Adams of the Board of Aldermen and sometimes the acting Mayor of the city, E. Lawton Crutchfield of the firm of Richison and Crutchfield and the very able son of Police Justice John J. Crutchfield; but it is well-wishable to think of all of the white friends who interested themselves in the case. As for the colored folks their names were legion. Mrs. Maggie L. Walker called up to express sympathy, stating that she could not render any assistance for she knew Editor Mitchell could take care of himself. CASE POSTPONED On Monday, the case was postponed until Wednesday. The police authorities hoped that they would be able to adjust the matter by that time. In the meantime, the most prominent white citizens continued active in the case. They took a personal pride in the matter for the reason that Richmond has always been regarded as having some of the most progressive coated people in the country and in proportion to population, the largest number. THE CASE CALLED When the case was called Wednesday morning, the Police Court was packed with colored people and many prominent white citizens who had interested themselves in the case were also there. Although he had just arrived in the city that morning, when Hon. Fritz Sitterding, Vice President of the Virginia Railway & Power Company, heard of it, he came down to the Police Court in his expensive automobile and remained there for an hour for the purpose of testifying as to the high esteem in which he held Editor John Mitchell, Junior. THE CAUSE OF DELAY. The case was delayed owing to the absence of Hon. H. M. Smith, Jr., who represented Editor Mitchell. It was further delayed by the Assistant City Attorney, Col. George Wayne Anderson. When he arrived, they were ready to proceed. Among the prominent colored people present were Rev. W. T. Johnson, D. D. Rev. W. H. Stokes, D. D., Rev. T. J. Mosby, Rev. A. S. Thomas, D. D., and his wife, Mrs. Ora B. Stokes, Dr. R. E. Jones, Mr. W. Isaac Johnson, Mr. J. W. Thompson, Mrs. Harriet E. Thompson, Mrs. Adaldea G. Thompson, Dr. A. A. Tennant, Mr. W. H. Anderson, Rev. L. J. Morris, Mr. John Woolfolk, Mr. W. H. Seay, Mr. Charles H. Thompson. THE POLICE RESESTFUL Mr. J. R. Hicks, Mr. Joseph Matthews, Col. Thomas M. Crump, Mr. John T. Taylor, Mr. W. Henry Jones Benjamin F. Kersey, and a host of others. "Call the case of John Mitchell, Jr." was the order of the Court. Mr. Smith arose and wanted to know if Mr. Edgar B. English had been employed to prosecute the case. He learned that this action had been taken by the officers. Mr. English disclaimed any such responsibility. It soon developed, however, that Col. George Wayne Anderson had undertaken that task. THE OFFICER'S STATEMENT Officer H. Settles was called: He said, after being duly sworn, "I was coming down town when: my attention was attracted by a crowd and I saw an ambulance and florentine glory in the crowd. I got off to assist him in staring at the crowd of the street. I came to this man and asked him four different times to move back and he did not. He stared me back and I carried him up to Fifth and Grace Streets to the patrol box and Officer Sherry came up and told me to put the man under arrest. I was coming down town and Sergeant Sherry was the only man who was there." JUST WANTED TO KNOW Mr. Smith wanted to know if Editor Mitchell was the only one that he told to go back. He replied that he told all of them to get back. He also stated that Editor Mitchell was in the street. Mr. Smith: "Did he resist you in any way?" "No," was the reply, "except when I first went up to him, and then he showed me back." Mr. Smith: "Was he blocking the traffic?" "Yes." Mr. Smith: "Could one man block the traffic?" "I did not say one man could block the traffic," was the response. A POINTED QUESTION: "Did Mr. Mitchell tell you who he was?" asked Mr. Smith. "He did not!" was the response. "Didn't Mitchell make an effort to get out his card-case to give you his card in order to establish his identity, and didn't you tell him not to get his hand in his pocket?" "Yes." was the response. "How did you hold him?" queried the brilliant attorney. "I held him by the arm." Officer Settles answered in the affirmative A SHORT TIME ONLY "How long have you been on the Police force?" "Since April," was the reply. "This April," asked Mr. Smith. "Yes." "How many arrests have you made before?" "None," admitted the officer. "So this is your first arrest?" exclaimed Mr. Smith. "Yes," was the response. He had served a warrant. He also admitted that he was off duty at the time he made the arrest. "Did you have on your uniform at the time?" asked Mr. Smith. "No," was the response. I had on my badge on the outside of my coat." KEPT HIS HAND THERE. "You kept your hand on Mitchell and hold on to him until the patrol wagon came, is that so?" "Yes." was the response. "You make no discrimination between a man arrested for murder, rape and the simple violation of a city ordinance!" "I hold on to all of them to protect myself and to hold the prisoner," was the response. "Would you put hand-cuffs on a man arrested for violation of an ordinance?" "If he was charged with murder, I would put the hand-cuffs on him." SERGEANT SHERRY'S STATEMENT. Sergeant Sherry was called and sworn. He said, "I did not see the arrest. I was busy. Saturday evening, about 5 o'clock, Johnston was hit by an automobile and killed. Somebody called my attention to the accident and I went to get the names. I saw Mr. Settles and Mr. Lampkins came, neither were on duty. They were working in the street. Later, I went up to Fifth and Green streets to pull the bus." Mr. Smith: "Did you see Officer (Continued on Fourth Page.) IN AFFECTIONATE MEMORY, Of Mrs. Mildred Burrell, Died at Richmond, Va., April 18, 1915. By Harriett A. Burrell, Boston, Mass. Could we see beyond the veil that hides our loved ones from our eyes. Could we hear their song of praises in the Home beyond the skies. Could we know what rapture filled them as they roam from place to place. Ever praising their Rodeemer for His wondrous love and grace. Then our hearts would lighten as we heard the Angels sing. And on earth we'd join the chorus offering-praises to our King. When we think of how our loved ones suffered ere they passed away, How they tossed upon their pillows resting neither night nor day, When we think of how we watched them, trying oft to ease each pain, Yet we realize with deep anguish that our efforts were in vain, Could we wish them back to suffer when we know they longed for rest? Could we doubt His precious promise to do all things for the best? Then, dear friends, oh look not downward with a heart full of despair, But look up, look up to Heaven, for our loved one dwelleth there. Look not backward to the hour when she suffered here with pain, But look forward to the time when we shall meet her once again; There to join the host of loved ones as they roam from shore to shore, Where we all shall be united and our partings will be over. Mrs. Burrell was a consistent Christian woman. She gave her life unstintingly to the well-being of her family and to the service of the community in which she lived. That she served her community well was testified to by the many loving tributes paid her memory by appreciative neighbors and friends. Mrs. Burrell was the mother of thirteen children, seven of whom are living, five sons and two daughters. The sons are Rev Scott C Burrell general secretary of the Y M C A A Richmond, Va; John M Burrell, attorney at law, Boston, Mass; William P. Burrell, head worker, Social Settlement, East Orange, N J; James L. Burrell, mail clerk, Richmond, Va; postoffice, Nelson S. Burrell, New York City postoffice.

Lynchburg, Va., April 18, 1916 - On Wednesday, April 12, at the St. Paul Church in New Glasgow, Va., was held the funeral services over the remains of Mrs. Cassandra Galvin. A great concourse of people had assembled at an early hour to await the funeral rites over one of their late friends, much beloved and greatly honored by the community. Mrs. Galvin was 86 years old, having been born in 1830. Forty-nine years of her life had been spent in christian service. She was the mother of four children, two sons and two daughters. One of the sons is Rev. Dr. A. A. Galvin, pastor of the Loyal Street Baptist Church of Danville, Va., and president of the Virginia Baptist State Convention. The other son, a deacon in the St. Paul Baptist Church, from which she was buried. The two daughters are also active workers in the same church. The funeral sermon was preached by the pastor, the Rev. C. C. Statem, who spoke in glowing terms of the exemplary life of this departed sister and mentioned her as his mother in the gospel. He spoke of her very great influence as a Christian worker over the entire community, her loving disposition and general demeanor, that had won for her the high respect of the entire community, as well as the section around, including both white and colored citizens. His statements were attested by the presence of white and colored friends on this funeral occasion. From Lynchburg, Doctors B. Tyrrell, R. Woods and Deacon Humblies attended. Among the other ministers present were the Rev. A. J. Doswell and the Rev. Wm. Johnson, both of Arrington, Va., and the Rev. A. J. Goodo, who is immediately connected with the family, was also present. The pastor was assisted in the services by Doctors B. Tyrrell, R. C. Woods, and the Rev. Doswell, and Johnson. Telegrams and resolutions were sent from the Loyal Street Baptist Church and Board of which Dr. Galvin is pastor and from the High Street Baptist Church of which Dr. Moses is pastor; and there were other messages of sympathy read, expressing the profound feelings of the many friends of Sister Galvin and of Dr. Galvin. In addition to the children of Mrs Galvin, that have been mentioned, she leaves several grandchildren.

Literary Digest Comments on Race Issue in Western City-Interesting Opinions of the White Press PAGE TWO NEGRO SEGREGATION Literary Digest Com- in Western City—I of the W (Literary Digest) For several days before the people of St. Louis voted to adjourn the Negroes of the city to dispatches formed us, Negro girls and women bearded out circularly on the street bearded a cartoon depicting a white man driving a Negro before him and hissing his bare back, with the script "Back to slavery." And now that the two ordinations embody registration have been carried by a three-second vote in a centrally located city of 700,000 inhabitants, the New York Post Post alludes from locally to "the two war hoods of democracy ennunciation and segregation" and the New York World declares the attempt to deprive black men of property, liberty, and hope. In St. Louis, The New York Post regrets the victory of the overwhelming forces of power, interest, and prejudice. But, the New Orleans Times-Daily observes that "the separation or segregation of the races" which "prevails generally through the South" on cars, boats, and in public places "has caused special injury to any one" and "has unquestionably tended to prevent fraction between the races when travel, which of old frequently developed into serious disturbances, and what were called 'race plots'." In St Louis, the segregation ordinances were actively supported by real estate interests and a body called the United Welfare Association, while the opposition was led by the Citizens' AntiNegro Segregation Committee. As both ordinances were adopted by the volkswagen under a State initiative and referendum law, the more stringent one is to be effective. It forbids Negroes to move into blocks in which as many as 75 percent of the occupants are white and prohibits "the use of Negroes." white or part of a building for a church, building or part of a building for a church, health hall, theatre, piece of assemblage for Northeast. The dedicated side will ask an仰望 to restrain the city authorities from putting the ordinances into effect, and will carry cases to the highest court to test their constitutionality. While the United States Supreme Court has ruled on grandfather constitution, the new slavery of peacage and Jim Crow sleeping and dining care has not reached a case of segregation the New York World remanded to The St Louis Post-Dispatch does not believe the ordinance will survive the test of the courts, and if they do, it does not look for a contempt of the racial problems they were placed to meet, for these problems he has tried to free and liberty and to free spirit of humanity, that are embodied in these measures. "The segregation compartment is quite insimene to a writer of the St Louis Post-Dispatch." "If the value of property increases every time a Negro family would move into a block every year and property owner in town sold without exception, would be having the bigger to move into the house where a rent-sign is seen. "The education of the Negro and providing him with proper means for a living, are more worthy, of the thought of good people than to crowd him into conditions where life is unbearable. "Fawning him back into the alleys will not make for a better condition for the whitman than for the black man. A representative utterance from the Afro-American press appears in the Richmond Planet. "All of these laws and regulations are in violation of constitutional vested property-rights, and ultimately jurists will be found with manhood and conscience enough so to rule. It is not popular now to champion any cause in which colored folk's rights and privileges are involved. We are living in a corrupt age, where manhood-rights are below par in all cases, affecting citizens of color. "This will not always be the case. The only proper course is to agitate and contend until the latent sense of fair play ever existent in the American people is aroused." On the other hand, real-estate men quoted the St. Louis dailies are distinctly pleading, and they assert that the poor ordinances will eventually benefit the people of both cities. If after a court-content "the drillances stand, as appears probable." St. Louis Negroes, says The Republic, "will have a new opportunity to prove the worth of their racial inheritance to demonstrate their capacity as home-builder and community-builders." "Segregation means the setting of the race by itself in the residence-districts of a great city. The most compulsions achievements of the colored race in America during the past quarter-century have, been achievements in which the white race has had no direct part. Tuskegee, where the Negro is educated by Negroes, has been the most successful Negro-school. The contributions of Negroes to community-life which have most evoked commendation have been made in Negro-communities, led and guided by Negroes. The Negro has blazed his own path in art, where the genius of Dubois and Coleidge-Taylor is universally recognized. "The Negro leaders tell us that segregation is injustice. Be this as it may, it is also opportunity, if recent Negro-history has any value." The new endeavors will end the necessity of unconstrained real estate operations, says the New York Morning Telegram, who induce Negroes to move into houses, in white neighborhoods and blackmilk the whites into buying the property at a fancy figure. Such facties will now be impossible. "That is the whole situation in a nutshell." Talks on Thrift Talks on Thrift Whatever may be the consensus of opinion as to the necessity for a desirability of alcoholic liquors as beverages, no thinking man will deny that drinking is an expensive habit, mostly both to the individual and to the State. A dollar can be spent quicker and with less to show for it at the bar than in any other way, and the man who is a "good spender" and keeps pace with the crowd around the social glass must keep a pace that kills. Of late years the production and consumption of liquors and beer has increased enormously, and from so servatious men would conclude that everybody drinks a little and most everybody too much. The resultant exods are widespread far reaching even to the third and fourth generation, for the cost does not end with the waiter's check, but with the bills for police, alimonees, prisons and Potter's fields. The man who indulges this habit must realize that he is putting a self-imposed tax upon thrift, as well as a tax upon his energies. Of what await to work hard and then spend to no useful end? Why work for the man who stands behind the bar? Why (if) a day's wages in half an hour and get nothing for it but a thrill? If the State should put the same tax upon his income that he puts upon himself, he would rebel. Then, too, he spends his money thus must realize that he is simply putting money in the bank for the other fee. It may take a certain routine and judgment in some bank, where it will and judgment in some bank where it will work for somebody, per hape harder than he worked for it. And the easiest way to get it in a bank quick to the other follows a count- to buy the drinks for the crowd. Cheering news along this connection, government reports on the consumption of liquor for the past year. Alcohol is lessening its tax uptake. The consumption of liquor in 1914 was 142,292,600 gallons. In 1914 it was 139,135,941 gallons while in 1915 it was 135,135,941 gallons and in 1916 it was 135,135,941 gallons. In 1915 we burned up seven million barrels of oil less than heretofore in a single year, and the Government's tobacco revenues decreased $200 million. The hundred and eight distilleries went out of business in 1915 and the breweries used to brew. Forty per cent of our Government revenues have been derived from liquor laves, and in 1915 these revenues fell off over twenty two million dollars. What may be the cause for the commotion, showing whether the cause of the thoughts of war and what it might mean, or whether as a people we are beginning to rethink that this is a tax, or whether it is because in many places you can't get a lawful drink, the fact remains that we are drinking less and saving more. This conclusion is very apt to fatten his pocket book somewhat and pad his pay envelope and make him a better citizen. When he concludes that indulgence in any form of extravagance can get him nowhere but downwards, and thrift will surely get him upwards, he has chosen well; for thrift consists not only in doing some things, but refraining from doing others, the chief of which is that habit which takes all and gives nothing in return but regret, and regrets are costly emotions.

Today we drive the report of a non-technical investigator who witnessed a test of the invention. His story follows. For three years in a modest chemical laboratory out on Long Island a chemical engineer, Leub Enrleht, has been working out a series of experiments with a view to finding a substitute for gasoline in explosive engines. The experiment followed experiment, and failure followed each unit, perhaps a year ago, he felt that he had struck the right line. "I wish I had a dollar," he remarked yesterday, "for every experiment I have made, that I would have enough so that it would make no difference how much this may be me." USES PLAIN WATER He patted a little grey ounce bottle in his pocket that was threequarters filled with a light perfectly transparent green liquid. It was a perfect duplicate in appearance of the green toilet water that can be bought at any drug store. This little bottle is always on his person or locked up to the house in the safe; each night the tank of his car is drained of its content so that the drop remains solely the secret might be located. And his substitute for gasoline is water the plain ordinary water that is piped through every street and that flows from every household faucet. "Of course, it is only the hydrogen of the water that I want," he said, although my friends often refer to it as poisoning water." He was reluctant to speak of his compound that he adds to the water; for that matter, he was reluctant to discuss the matter of all "It is not time yet," he would say "Later, when the proper time is here I will be glad to, but now it sounds so revolutionary, so extravagant, that I would prefer not." Finally after requesting that certain phases be not alluded to, he agreed to give me a demonstration. With the little bottle of green fluid in one pocket and a chemist's graduate in the other he lob the way to the rear of the house, where a newly painted little brown repaint was standing. He opened the hood and disclosed a, a chemical cylinder engine, a fuel tank, and a, a fuel cylinder engine, the car's blower opened full. "It would come out, or than do no other," he explained. FIELDS TANK WITH WATER Under low direction, a plaster young man brought a basket of water from the kit box and a couple of common fruit jars. The inventor beet over the tank where gasoline is usually carried and removed the plug. The lighted end of his cigar waved back and forth over the tank hose as he peered into the tank from one angle of another to gauge the amount of liquid within its dim depths. "I could drop a lighted match in and yet it wouldn't explode." he remarked. And then he added "If you will notice, there is no gasoline in it." He smelled there was no odor of gasoline or of any other vehicle oil; there was practically no odor at all other than a mild, somewhat sweet and somewhat vinegar smell. He filled one of the fruit jars with the water from the bucket. "How do I know that is water?" I asked. He laughed and dumped the bucket on the ground. From the side of the house projected a hydrant with some garden hose looped over it. He filled the bucket from that. I tasted it. It was plain, everyday hydrant carefully measured perhaps a scant ounce of the transparent green liquid and dumped it into one of the quart jars newly filled with fresh hydrant water. Very faintly it clouded the water. Into the empty tank he poured this and added a second quart water. The second quart water This plug was a long one that extended down into the fluid and was connected with a couple of ordinary dry batteries. "I use electrolysis," said the inventor, as it assists the decomposition of the water into the hydrogen I am looking for—but it is not essential, for I can run without it, as I will show you." ENGINE IS STARTED So far as examination could show there was only one pipe loading from the tank to where the carburator was; nor was there apparent any attitude of secrecy in guarding the examination of the automobile. The wires of the batteries were connected, the engine cranked and buzzed and snorted along as any single cylinder engine would. The inventor climbed in and took the helm and I followed; he shifted the spark for a second, threw in the clutch and we were off: "Riding on the water wagon!" he chuckled cheerfully. Up the road and then around again through the village of Farmingdale. Presently the wires to the electrodes, as he called them, were disconnected and we went on again. "It does not work as well without—now listen!" he said. To an outposted in engine music it appeared as though, there might have been some change in the character of the engine sounds, but not a great deal. So on the house we rode. brinkly, and then the inventor climbed out and drained the tank from the cook below. It gave forth the many colorless and almost odorless liquid of the two quarts that had been poured in. I smelled of the little green liquid in the precious bottle that the inventor held forth freely. It suggested to the nostrils something like alcohol and sweet spirits of nitro. "But it is not!" retorted Professor Enricht, smiling. And that was all. What combination there is confined within that little bottle is known only to the inventor. Its formula, as he explained, is moultingless as he has written it, for it is in a cipher of his own deviling and to which only his wife holds the key. And he makes it easily in small quantities so that there is never but a few ounces of it on hand at one time. "I hope if you write anything, said the inventor, "that you will be very exact and cautious—in fact, I am sorry that I have talked with a newspaper man at all. Some very foolish things have been written about this and they have made me appear ridiculous in a scientific light. All that I do is to use the hydrogen in the water—the other one third of water, oxygen, to a waste to me. What I have done is to discover a way by which water can be easily broken and decomposed, thereby setting free the hydrogen. I have hydrogen in combination with the nitrogen in combination with the carbonate that furnished the explosive energy." "I use," he went on, "about four courses of this fluid in this bottle" he pointer to the little bottle half full of the green liquid lying on his desk at his elbow "to five gallons of water. This green liquid consists of about eighty-three parts of the chemicals that I have compounded dishes. I do not pour any water. The costs not the commercial mixing, etc. are about one and one half cents for each gallon of water so prepared." BETTER THAN GASOLINE "From experiments I have made I have proved that I get a higher force of explosion than from gasoline, and in that respect a higher efficiency. But, as compared with the actual bulk of gasoline, I find it necessary to use more water. It takes five gallons of water to do the work of four gallons of gasoline though I do not need to point out the difference in price between four gallons of gasoline and five gallons of water. This greater amount of water compares volume for volume with gasoline is needed because all of the oxygen content of water and it is one third, 112 O, you remember is of no use; there is one third waste." "My discovery, in brief, consists of a method of rendering water very sensitive to decomposition to breaking up inert constituent gases which will be used in any ordinary car with an ordinary carburetor by simply adapting the intake valve to take in more air. And it is absolutely non-inflamable, except when so vaporized in the carburetor." He half filled a little yellow bowl and added the green liquid. Lighted matches when thrups in went out as they would in water, nor did the flame hold to the surface produce any effect. This is an account of what happened in the demonstration of this substance as visible to a non-technical observer; it is neither an indemnement nor an analysis. So far as could be gauged in such a demonstration there was nothing but a perfect and pleasant frankness in opening every channel to exhibition in which there was a question or a possible question as to the origin of the motive power. SCIENTISTS INCREDULOUS It was a prominent scientist of this city, an expert on gasoline and gasoline substitutes, who was asked as to any substances that could be diluted as was this, four fluid ounces to five gallons of water, and give energy enough to drive a car, and who stated that only some substance such as nitroglycerine or on equally dangerous explosive could stand such extreme dilution and retain enough energy to propel a car. It would be a substance too dangerous to handle. And yet I had seen this haphled with impunity and lighted, matches held to its surface and thrust into it with impunity. If this invention stands inevitable of science it will be in the field of motive power as revolutionary a factor as the introduction of the internal combustion itself. It will mean that in an eight-ounce bottle half-pint flask—can be contained enough driving energy to equal eight gallons of gasoline, plus the water from any roadside brook. And with a demijohn on the back seat one could drive across the continent. MISSIONARY DAY Sunday, April 23rd, or Easter Sunday, has been designated as Foreign Mission Day for all churches in harmony with the National Baptist Convention. The present year or Easter Sunday will not prove an exception, as if he has been observed as Foreign Mission Day for several years, and we are urging that every one of our Churches and Sunday Schools will on that day take a special collection for Foreign Missions and forward same to Dr. L. G. Jordash, 781 B. 19th Street, Philadelphia, Pa. The very great importance of observing that day cannot be too strongly placed before the people of our churches, for we cannot excuse our observance of our Mission Day out by our Foreign Mission Board without being in open violation of the command of our Lord and Master to "praise the people to every creature." The way to show that great commitment is to give our business in support of these our to the poor long neglected heathen our stand. If there should be any scraps about having Master exercises in your Sunday School, certainly there can be more about taking a contribution. Wishless, and if you urge that all will give a contribution on that day. Very truly yours, E. C. MORRIS President National Baptist Convention. FEDERAL COURT ENJOINS THE ST. LOUIS LAW St. Louis, April 17. - Enforcement of the Negro segregation ordinance of St. Louis was enjoined by the Federal District Court here today. The injunction was granted by District Judge Dyer, who said he made the order temporary only because the Federal Court now is considering a segregation case from Louisville, Ky. Otherwise, he said, he would have granted a permanent injunction. One section of the segregation ordinance prohibits white or blacks from living in a block in which 75 per cent of the houses are occupied by persons of the opposite race. Another makes similar restrictions, but the percent age is 190, instead of 75. In announcing his decision, Judge Dyer said: "The Negro is entitled to the same consideration and the same rights as is a white man. The Negro doesn't want social equality. He wants the rights before the law as the white man, and he should have them." Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The hour for the boys last Tuesday night was well used by them and they took a very active part in the Bible Class. It is very encouraging to see how the Men's Bible Class is getting a grip on the men, which was seen last Tuesday night. Last Friday night the Y. M. C. A. (the Blues) worked hard to shun sowing the wood. Watch the final results. General W. B. Ball is hard after General John L. Ballard. The Class for explanation on the Sunday School Lesson met last Saturday at the usual hour and the inter-net was good. Last Sunday was a happy day with the E. M. C. A. At 9:30 A.M. the meeting for the workers was a live wire at the Y. M. C. A. The work in the city home by the committee (10 A.M.) is very encouraging. The inmates were happy. At 10 A.M. in the city jail three prisoners were led to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. The meeting for women in the penitentiary (10 A.M.) was a blessing. Three prisoners made an open profession of Christ. Men do not get tired keep at it. At 1 P.M. a large number of boys attended the meeting for boys at the Y. M. C. A. combined by Committee-man C. E. Gates. Every boy was helped. At the Richmond Beneficial Insurance Auditorium a great meeting for men was he'd Attendance good and the speaker was at his best. Rev. J. C. Stephenson.

Talks on Banking It so happens in business that all payments cannot be made in cash, for most of the business is done on credit in one form or another. Small purchases and many of the daily expenditures are cash transactions; but business as a whole moves on credit, the form depending upon the customs characteristic of that peculiar business. The most common form of credit is the book account, where goods are sold and "charged" to the purchaser. When you go into the grocery and tell him to "charge it" you are opening a credit with him in the form of a book account. This is common to all retailing transactions. But in the larger dealings, the credit is in the form of a promissory note, which is merely a written promise to pay a sum certain, in money, to a designated person, firm or corporation, at a stipulated time. Hundreds of thousands of these notes are made every day. They are given, merchant to merchant, in payment of debts resulting from the use of notes, and while they settle the debt must themselves be paid in money, in order that the obligation may be finally discharged, for a promise never liquidates a debt. If their problems could be treated as money and material from hand to hand, they might allow very well, but their are of insufficient strength. nation, their goodness is a matter not commonly known, and even though the matter might be "an good as the government," few know it and few would take the risk. And if the holder should wait until maturity, he would get cash from the promiseer. But he does not want to wait that long—he wants to turn his evidence of debt intb money at once for with money—real money—he can get better terms, and for certain purposes, such as paying laborers, he must use cash. There must, therefore, be some medium through which he can turn this promise into money which is due for payment and the medium is the bank. The process of doing this is called discounting, which in other words means buying the paper. A simple illustration will explain. Suppose A sells B a bill of goods or three months' credit. A does not want to wait while B sells the goods and gets the money to pay him, and therefore offers to take B's note for the amount. But the note, is not money, and if A would use the money, he must find someone who will give him money for it. He might find someone who, for the hope of gain, takes the money in a logical place to get this done is the bank, for the bank always has money. It knows men and their ability to keep their promises, and can judge the quality of the risk. A therefore offers the note to his banker, who says in substance: "I think B is good for this amount. If you will endorse a promise to pay if he does not—I will buy that paper evidence of debt from you." Let us say it is for $100, due in three months. The banker knows that at the end of the three months he will get the $100, and so gives A $150 as the fee for the interest on the money for the time. Ordinarily the banker would not give A the cash, but credit his account, with the privilege of checking against it, which is virtually the same thing. Now, what is the result? A sold his goods and get his money at once. B had three months to sell the goods to get the money to pay the note when the banker presented it at maturity. A could use the $25.00 to buy more goods to sell to C, and the bank has made a profit of $1.50 for taking the risk. That is what banks are for to take risks, to know men, to help business and make profits for itself. And this it does to a very marked degree. We could not do business very well without this help. It is one of the indispensable adjuncts of business. The promises of business men held in the National Banks of the country alone amount to over three billion dollars. AMERICAN BANKERS ASSOCIATION FOUR INJURED WHEN AUTO TURNS TURTLE Time Dispatch, April 19, 1916. One man was seriously, if not fatally, injured, two girls were seriously hurt and another man injured about 3:20 a.m. lost night, when an auto mobile turned completely over on the Pump-House hill, hurling its occupants several yards from the machine. Miss Lillian Driscoll, twenty years old, of 23 West Marshall Street, sustained a broken collarbone and perhaps a broken hip, in addition to painful haematuries and bruises about the face and body. Miss Roberta Arbaugh, nineteen years of age, of 1510 South Meadow Street, was cut and bruised about the face and body, and four of her teeth were knocked out. Madam Marianne a machinist living at 191 East Cary Street, is thought to have suffered a broken back, several of his teeth were knocked out and he sustained severe cuts and contusions about the body. J. H. Gardner, 617 North Sixth Street, chauffeur of the car, was cut about the head and shoulders and badly bruised about the limbs. TIRE ON FRONT WHEEL SAID TO HAVE BLOWN OUT. According to information secured by Police Sergent Clarkson and Poithecen L. N. Clarke and Frank Walker, the accident occurred when a tire on one of the front wheels blew out as the car was racing up the Pump-House hill. The machine careened violently to one side and turned diagonally across the road. The speed at which it had been running was sufficient to cause the car to turn completely over. When Fritz Sitterling, Jr. arrived at the scene a few minutes after the accident had occurred the men and women in the car along the road. Gardner had regained control and was doing what he could for the injured women. To one side Maloney lay where he had been thrown, unable to move any portion of his body below his waist. Miss Arbaugh was making her way to the assistance of Miss Driscoll, who lay in the road grinding from her injuries. Sterling lifted the injured women and Maloney into his machine and aided with them to Stuart Circle Hospital. Miss Driscoll regained consciousness before the car reached the residential section and began screaming from pain. She continued to do so until the hospital was reached, and the car, rushing on its mission of succor, attracted considerable attention. N-RAY PHOTOGRAPHS TO DETER MINE INJURIES Emergency treatment was given the women and Maloney at Stuart Circle, after which Mjus Driscoll and Maloney were removed to Virginia Hospital. Members of Mjus Arbaugh's family were summoned to Stuart Circle and were able to take her home later in the night. A few minutes after the patients had been taken to Virginia Hospital, Ambulance Sergeon Childress, was called to 617 North Sixth Street, and there found Gardner. He had been picked up by friends and taken to his home. The surgeon treated him and left him of home, his injury not being sufficiently serious to necessitate his being taken to a hospital. At an early hour this morning he THE STUDENTS HOWARD BACK AT THEIR DESKS Washington, April 10—At twelve o'clock Sunday night after a six hour session, students and Deans came to an agreement whereby work in the University was to be resumed today at noon. The strike which had lasted since Wednesday noon was characterized by perfect order and quiet on the campus while the committee of the student thru the intermediary of the faculty was attempting to come to an agreement with the Board of Deans. The settlement of the disagreement involved a concession by both parties, the students, agreeing to apologize for their infraction of the rules in dancing in Spandling Hall, while the staff in granting a general amnesty, left the way open for a further conference and institution of student government. The resolution of the Senior Class road: Be it resolved: That the Senior Class, maintaining the justice of its position, yet for the best interests of all concerned, waving its ground, not its principle, do hereby state that in entering Spaulding Hall on the afternoon of Friday, April 3, 1916, which day was observed an "Frivolity Day," we had no intention, design or purpose to violate the laws of Howard University. The building was entered in the spirit of sport and frivolity, in keeping with former celebrations during recent years. It can, therefore, be disavowed in honor and in sincerity that there was any plan to infringe upon any of the formal privileges. It was on the basis of this resolution that the whole Senior Class was reinstated without punishment. At the same time the Student Body which had struck out of sympathy with the Seniors presented the following resolution: Be it resolved: That the student body, maintaining the justice of its position, yet for the best interests of Howard University and all concerned, waiving its ground not its principle, do hereby recommend and advise that all students of Howard University return to their daily activities in the work of the University on Monday, April 10, 1916, at 12 M. That in view of this action freely and voluntarily taken on our part, we feel justified in appealing to the authority of the University to restore the status order to all students affected by all other issues, so that no student or group of students shall suffer in any way from any action in connection with this affair, and close this most unhappy incident. And that a committee from the student body be given a conference with the Board of Deans and their respective joint faculties in regard to student grievances. Since the petition for student government presented over a year ago was granted orally by the President, that was not included in the resolutions. The chapel exercises today were marked with the greatest solemnity, and at the close students and faculty arose and sang with fervor the Alma Mater.-Baltimore Afro-American. Miss Eva V. Clay, trained nurse who is the daughter of Mr. Charles H. Clay, of this city arrived here April 5th, to attend the wedding of her sister, Christelia Louise, to Mr. Richard M. Langhorn, which took place April 6th. Miss Clay will remain in the city for some indefinite time. able to ascertain definitely if Maloney's back had been broken or if Miss Driscoll's hip was fractured, X-ray photographs probably will be made in each of these cases this morning in an effort to ascertain the extent of their injuries. OVERTURNED CAR IS MASS OF WRECKAGE. The police learned last night that Maloney had met Miss Driscoll and Miss Arhaugh when they left the telephone exchange, where they are employed at 9 o'clock, an dthat the party walked to Broad Street. An automobile ride, was suggested, and the party secured Gardner's car. They rode around the Pump-House loop once and returned to Broad Street before deciding to repeat the trip. It was on the second time around the curve that the accident occurred. Policemen Clarke and Waller went to the scene last night and found the machine a mass of wreckage. The radiator is said to have been crushed in the engine, a rear wheel was shattered, the engine of the car were bent and broken and the top is said to be little but broken wood and torn cloth. IT REALLY HAPPENED Mr. Roland W. Hayes, the great Boston toner was in Richmond this week and captured the audience at the City Auditorium with his superb musical ability. In the audience was one or Richmond's sons faultlessly attired in a spik and span evening suit with silk 'kelly' to match. After the concert many of Richmond's musical art were introduced to Mr. Hayes. In the midst of the informal reception this young man forced his way through the M. S. and catching the great tenor by the hand he said, "Mr. Hayes, I want to see you on something that's very important." Mr. Hayes stopped greeting friends and asked, "Well, what is it?" The young man with hands breath for the question. Some thought it was more foreign than greeting someone to interview Mr. Hayes. The young man asked in a very confident manner, "Mr. Hayes, WHO IS YOUR TEACHER?" eae PE ee oe . . : eae " L { ee.

To Tidewater, to Norfolk, to the First Church. Tidewater is a splendid section for the Convention to sit. It is prepared materially. Its soil is fertile and profile in productions. Industries are numerous and diversified. wages are good, money is usually plentiful and even now that section is in a state of prosperity. Food is abundant, vegetables, sea food and other edibles are in plentitude. Then in Tidewater the Baptists who are identified with us are numerous, strong and active. And they are generous and hospitable. So we shall be well cared for in Norfolk, for Norfolk in size and numbers is the head of her adjacent territory. We have a large number of Churchos in Tidewater and we expect every one of them to represent, and not that only but that they will not have to pay much traveling expenses, no doubt, they will make high water mark in finances for the Convention. Our Convention meets in the First Baptist Church, which is at least one of the oldest, strongest and best Churches in our State. I am satisfied that she has the largest Baptist Sunday School in Virginia and one of the best organized Sunday Schools in our great country. The First Baptist Church of Norfolk is pastored by a fine, young, strong, active, progressive, Christian man, who will delight in being the hospitable host of the Convention. And the membership of that Church are up-to-date well-trained Christians and they are busy, so busy, making ready for our coming. On to Tidewater! On to Norfolk! On to the First Church! On! On! On! When? May the 10-14. Wednesday, May 10th at nine o'clock in the morning the Virginia Baptist State Convention will be called to order. The roll will be called and all are asked to be present to answer to their names. The Convention will close on Sunday night, May 14th. Sunday afternoon at 3:30 will be a memorial service in memory of our heroes who have been called from the field since we met in Danville. And those who cannot possibly remain over Sunday certainly cannot afford to leave without hearing the program for Friday. We not only have strong men on the former part of the program, but some of the ablest men of the race are programmed for Friday, both day and night. And we want all to hear these men of national fame. On Friday night that philosopher, that psychologist, that orator, ex-Congressman George W. Murray, will deliver one of his famous addresses, "The Second Emancipation." To hear this man once means a desire to hear him always. Remember—May 10-14, 1916. On. On! On! Who? You and your brethren from Virginia, and a goodly number from the District of Columbia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, North and South Carolina and a few even from other States still. On to Norfolk, you giants of a mighty race; on to Norfolk, you moral exemplars; on to Norfolk, you intellectual sages; on to Norfolk, you heroes of the cross, you priests, prophets and lay men; on to Norfolk, all Baptist Christians who believe in the ideas of the Virginia Baptist State Convention. On! On! On! For What? - To help to be helped; to instruct, to be instructed; to teach and to be taught. On to Norfolk for concentration, inspiration and information. It is worth while to attend this Convention. The Virginia Baptist State Convention is a brotherhood with the spirit of brotherly love. It is a brotherhood in spite of its diversification. Our Convention is composed of men of all ages, all ages, all calling and stations. It is composed of men from many States, men from different schools and some from no school. But State lines do not divide us. School affiliations do not separate us. Men of our body who are from one school are proud of the men from all the other schools, just so they make good. And those who are not from any school are proud that they charley Insists on Money For Ring EASTER SUNDAY, 1916. THE RESURRECTION FROM PAINTING BY NAACK Charley Chaplin's Comic Capers avail themselves of the privilege of supporting schools and especially our school, The Virginia Theological Seminary and College. We do not allow the school question to separate us. And when it comes to age, the younger brethren honor the fathers who are with us who have blazed the way and led on with this Baptist host. And the older brethren are simply glad to see the younger ones growing up and becoming stronger as the days go by. The Virginia Baptist State Convention is a brotherhood. A brotherhood where its constituents are brotherly. The golden cord of Christian courtesy and brotherly kindness runs from breast to breast. We do not measure our spirit toward our brethren by the sizes of their Churches. The spirit of Christian fellowship prevails among us. Since we left Lexington we have not had an average of one point of order a year on the floor of our body. On to Norfolk as the sons of God, as conservators of peace, pleasure and propriety.

TELLS WHEN U. S. CAN FIGHT No War Except For Mankind Says Wilson. ADDRESS BEFORE WOMEN America Will Have Forgotten Tradition if She Fights for Herself, President Declares. In an address welcoming the Daughters of the American Revolution gathered in Washington for their annual congress, President Wilson said that the only excuse America ever can have for the assertion of her physical force is that she asserts it in behalf of humanity. He was speaking of the purpose of the republic—born to serve the res of the world just as much as itself—and had just said that the nation will have forgotten her traditions when over she fights merely for herself undor such circumstances as will show that she has forgotten to fight for al mankind. The president was enthusiastically applauded. When he was introduced by Mrs. William Cumming Story, president general of the organization, the audience stood and cheered, and many of the women waved American flags. He said: "Tradition is a handsome thing in proportion as we live up to it. If we fall away from the tradition of the fathers, we have dishonored them. If we forget the tradition of the fathers we have changed our character and we have lost an old impulse, we have become unconscious of the principles in which the life of the nation itself is rooted and grounded. Therefore this organization undertook to keep those who fell under its influence constantly reminded of the circumstances of the birth of this nation and of the significance of the birth of this nation. That significance was a very singular significance. No other nation was ever born into the world with the purpose of serving the relief of the world just as much as it served its self. "The purpose of this nation was to one sense to afford an asylum to men of all classes and kinds who desire to be free and to take part in the administration of a self-governed com monwealth. It was founded in order that man of every sort should have NEVER BAY YOU CAN'T TAKE A GOOD Picture. THICL ONE.

Misunderstood proof given that a commonwealth o that sort was practicable, not only, but could win-its standing of distinction and power among the nations of the world, and America will have forgot ten her traditions whenever upon any occasion, she fights merely for herself under such circumstances as will show that she has forbidden to fight for all mankind. And the only excuse that America can ever have for the assertion of her physical force is that she asserts it in behalf of the interest of humanity. "What a splendid thing it is to have so singular a tradition - a tradition of unselfishness! When America can be to be unselfish, she will cease to be America. When she forgets the traditions of devotion to human rights in general which gave spirit and fan pulse to her founders she will have lost her title deeds to her own nationality. "So it is, to my mind, a very happy circumstance that here in the capital of the nation, in this home of your own building, you should meet every year in order to keep bright the fire that have always burned upon this altar of devotion to human rights. That is the life of this society of distinction and to immortality." Miss Frances J. Martin, book keeper for the Phaghair Hardware Specialty company, of New Haven Conn., was held up on the street at the entrance to the company's office by an unidentified man and robbed of $300, the company's payroll, which she was carrying in a satchel. Tac robber escaped. According to Miss Martin, the man stopped her and asked about egotism work. Suddenly he snatched the satchel and ran. She followed him for a block, shouting for help. In sad, but loving remembrance of my dear sister, Cella Jones, who departed this life on February 14, 1916, at Buckingham County, Va. She was a faithful member of Bethel Church, Baltimore, Md. for over 18 years and was much loved by all who knew her. She was also a member of Mary Maxdalene Court, No. 9. Oh, sad it is to me. Yes, dear slater, thou art gone. Thy much loved voice we hear no more. But hope to meet thee on that bright shore. Where parting is no more. Sleep on, dear slater, take thy rest. We loved thee, but God loves thee best. And He called their home to rest. JESSE SCRUGGS PICTURE - WE CAN MAKE YOU BET BELIEVE IT, TRY IS TO LAND ALWAYS STUDIO 534 N. SECOND ST.

READ—THE IRON TRAIL SATURDAY.....APRIL 22, 1916 "SIGNIFICANCE OF EASTER." Easter Day, it may well be said The gladest day of Christian year; It marks the coming from the dead of a King since sovereign here. Christ the Savior, is His name, Born a babe in Bethlehem; Thru King David like He came, Brought peace on earth, good will to men. Christmas leads us to a manger: Wrapped in swaddling band we will find. At the world's predicted stranger: Man in flesh but God in mind. From His birth cruel folk despaired Him; Mocked Him all ways they could find. In all this Christ didn't present them All of His words were sweet and kind. Do not dare to tell the story. He's gone to reign upon His throne "Christ is risen" this was given First to Mary at the tomb; Then we tith well get to heaven, or meet our everlasting death R. D. CRAWLEY, 1946 EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS AN AUTOMOBILE AND ITS OWNER—SEEING ST. LOUIS AND ATTRACTIONS—GREAT HIGH SCHOOL—ITS MANAGEMENT. Mr C K Robinson is the unfortunate owner of an automobile. I say unforgunate for the reason that he was bewaitting the fact that he expected to receive in a few days a bill for "hospital expenses for the car which was now out of service. That Sunday night, I had been two men in an automobile, and Mr Robinson recognized it at once as being his machine. It was running so well that he called to them to enquire if he could now secure the use of it. COULD NOT STOP Our car over-took them, but they called back that they could not afford to stop the machine for if they did they would have a difficult time starting it again. They would run it and one of the men would jump out and trot along at the side I observed the performance with much amusement he told about some part of the machine being a little tight. On Monday morning, I awoke early in the Gordon's mansion and when I went forth I found out that I practically had possession of the house for no one had arisen. A FINE LAUNDRY I had breakfast with Mr Gordon, accomplished Madame and then went out to the car line to find the proprietor of that undertaking establishment and laundry, Mr. W. C Gordon who had left word for me to come down and see him. When I arrived at the undertaking establishment, it was 10 o'clock and he had gone to look after a funeral. I wandered about his establishment, joked his clerk and then went to the laundry. The latter place was filled with machinery of the most improved type. Colored females seemed to have full sway, while the manager was out soliciting business. WELL SUITED FOR THE PURPOSE The spacious building was well suited for the purpose, and success seemed to have crowned the venture Mr. Gordon was not a man to do things by halves. I was much interested. I visited the offices of Dr. T. A. Curtis. He was busy as was also his brother, 'Dr. W. P. Curtis. I then found the office of Mr. J. R. Inge. He had on his window the announcement that this was the consulate of the Republic Liberia. He had a copy of the Planet there, too, and I scanned its pages, for I had not seen one of so late an issue. He is doing well. I then went to the establishment of the C. K. Robinson Printing Company. Just why he designates it in this manner unless it is to appeal to the vanity of his brilliant and progressive wife. I have never known, for he is about the only "company" I saw around there, except his wife. THAT MUTUAL PLEDGE As she pledged herself to honor and obey him when he married her, I did not deem it necessary to consider her in connection with the matter, for those two are one. Mr. Robinson was about as busy "as a hen with one chicken." A man was working on his printing press, just like the other men had been working on his automobile. The linetype machine, to my surprise, was running and doing good service. Mr. Robinson began to list with me the signs of expense with references to requisits of the machinery, which had been imposed upon the C. K. Robinson Printing Company, but which, when it came to moving, had ed upon just one member of the Company—C. K. Robinson. THOSE AUTOMOBILE PROMISES. I laughed, heartily for I had an office much more expensive and I knew just what I would have to meet when the train pulled into the station at Richmond, Va. We were still waiting for that Robinson automobile, which was to be in front of his printing plant at 1 P. M., then 2 P. M., then 2:30. But how could they help it? We went around to the garage and repair shop and we found two half-naked colored men working on that same car. They were cheerful. It would be Mr. Robinson, who wouldn't be cheerful when he saw the bill. They were determined to have it all right, when it left the shop. MISSOURI HOSPITALITY Another promise and we left. I had dinner with Mr. Robinson. He looked at me sternly when I reached for my wallet and he paid the bill. I had extended courtesies to his Madame in Virginia and he was extending courtesies to me in St. Louis, Missouri. The car came, and I must say that the men who had been working on it fulfilled every expectation. It was running fine and "C K" was happy. We went to the site of the Exposition. I visited the Summer High School and met Prof. Frank L. Williams, the principal. This school cost the city of St. Louis, half a million dollars. It has every modern convenience. The main hallway is approximately 300 foot long EVERY MODERN CONVENIENCE It has lavatories for the pupils, lockers, and a hunch service that surpassed any I had ever seen. It had a chemical department, machinery department, arrangements for purifying the air in the school, an auditorium, sewing department, in fact every thing that one could wish. The cost of operating this school is three hundred thousand dollars per year. ROANOKE, VA Church Services—Personal Mention Cadets, Hike—Shooting Affairs. Sunday morning the Rev C T Wurks filled the pulpit at eleven at the High Street Baptist Church for the Rev James H Burks is in Philadelphia visiting Rev. Hall and to recuperate his physical condition Mrs Burks indisposed but getting better The stock brought a fine baby girl to the house of Mr. and Mrs. John Taylor at 109th Avenue N. E. Friday April 14, 1936, of which they are very proud. There was a grand rally at the First Baptist Church, Sunday which wound up at night with some of Rome's eight hundred dollars. Kev. George R. Jones, P. E. of the Rocky Mountain District A. M. E. Church filled the pulpit of above named Clinton at eleven o'clock and delivered one of the most able discourses I have listened to for many years. The entire audience was highly pleased. The Rev. Goodman, a transferred man to Virginia Conference preached Sunday night at eight o'clock to quote a fine audience. He is a wonderful divine and held his audience spellbound during his entire argument and all were eager to have him continue when he closed. Mr. Randy) Garret and Mrs. Bell Garret, his wife, left Roanoke, Monday evening at 6:15 o'clock by way of the Memphis Special, to visit their sister, Mrs. N. L. Branch, 60-132nd street, New York, N. Y., where they will re-enter the future. We hope them health and happiness during their own The springtime has put its appearance in this section of the mountains. Mrs. Mary J. Colvin left for Philadelphia and Baltimore, Wednesday April 19 for a monthly vacation. The senior company of Cadets will hike from Roanoke to Lynchburg, Va. Sunday, to arrive in Lynchburg Monday and spend the day in the Hill City and will return to their home city, arriving Tuesday morning. They will be under escort of Captain John Hayes and Captain H. L. Shelton and Eugene Brown of Roanoke. James Dehaden was shot Saturday evening in a Norfolk Avenue pool room by the manager. He is out on bail of $660. Rev. George C. Taylor, D. D. was returned to Mt. Zlon A. M. E. Church and the people of Roanoke generally are glad to have him in their midat for another year. Lavy Barbair was shot Sunday evening by another youth while playing with a gun. It was purely accidental and yet children should be taught not to play with deadly weapons. WEST POINT. VA. West Point Public School Wins in Spelling Match at County Fair. On last Friday, the King William County School Fair was held at Mt. Sinai. The exhibits were many, showing great taste and skill. The attendance was large. Several addresses were made, after which the spelling match took place. There were ten schools contesting. The gold medal was awarded to Miss Bertha Holmes and the handsome flag to Miss Ethel Allen, both of West Point school. Both of those young ladies deserve great credit for the manner in which they acquitted themselves and for the honor conferred upon them as students of our public schools. The school contemplates having a flag raising in the near future. Mr. and Mrs. B. Alles and Mr. and Mrs. B. Lacy also attended the Fair, and report a fine trip. Mrs. Helen Williams left here Wednesday for New York, where she expires to spend the summer. Mr. William Morris is on the staff list. Mr. Robert Carter is much better, and able to be out again. Mr. Sterling has returned from a short visit with his sister in Greenville, N. C. ANNUAL BOARD MEETING Roanoke, Va., April 17, 1916. To the Board, of Trustees, Virginia Theological Seminary and College: My dear co-workers. Our annual board meeting will soon be upon us. This has been a year of achievement and progress, and as a Board our quota of service as a contribution to the progress of our denominational and racial work must stand out clearly. I am due you an explanation; I have been greatly afflicted since our last meeting. Under a multiplicity of duties, demanding and perplexing, my physical frame was forced down under the strain and my nerves were practically shattered and it has been the battle of my life to recuperate. I am better, but not well, entirely. This accounts for my silence. Now I appeal to you in most earnest terms to do all that is possible through your churches and come prepared to individually do something worth while, and something worthy of our Board, for our educational work at Lynchburg. Our work is a tremendous one and our opportunities to succeed are practically unparalleled. I am sure you appreciate the responsibility resting upon you, incident to the carrying on of the work that we are doing. And knowing your duty, I am persuaded that, you are going to address yourselves to it. Remember then, to come to the meeting filled with the spirit of peace and good will. Come with ideal suitable for a construction and progressive meeting. Come prepared to add money and thought to the cause My personal observation leads me to say that our institution is in a magnificent condition and that we shall hear a glowing report, giving detailed information as to our work, since our last meeting, the city has extended water to the institution and it has been put through all the buildings, giving us now every modern facility. We need money to meet this demand. In addition to this, there are other demands upon us, that we must meet. There has been committed to our trust, the keeping and fostering of an institution of learning for the moral spiritual, and mental development of our people. The very idea is wonderful. To do well with this work calls for the best that we are and the most that we can do. Yet we are thoroughly capable to do it. This we know because we have been doing the work in a great way. God is expecting us to do our duty and to measure up to our capacity for service. The institution is our and looks to us. HOW TO GET THE NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION TOGETHER 1. Let E. C. Morris, D.

Let this committee of seven constitute a committee on enrollment Let the enrollment of messengers by the committee of seven at this consolidating and reuniting Baptist body, be provided for in this manner: 1. Let each State-Convention send as many messengers as she may wish, but must not send less than twenty dollars for each messenger or delegate sent 2. Let each Baptist Association send as many messengers as they desire, provided each Association send not less than ten dollars for each messenger sent 3. Let each Baptist Church or Auxiliary send as many messengers as they desire, not exceeding ten, with five dollars each. This plan will not only limit the delegation so as to not have an unwelldy body, but it puts the plan upon a strict Baptistic principle of giving the consolidating convention an organic representation and thereby leaves out the questionable idea of individual membership on a financial basis. Personally, as an old Baptist of more than forty years standing, and forty-two years a minister of the gospel, I am utterly opposed to Baptist Organizations that are supposed to be representative, basing the rights of membership solely upon finances. I believe that every one that votes in the National Baptist Convention should represent some organization, having been duly authorized. Every member of the National Baptist Convention should be appointed or elected by some church or some church auxiliary, district or state organization or executive board. Our denomination should not be individualized. Our annual meetings should be composed of authorized messengers. But when a person is constituted a member of an organization by financial qualification alone, they represent no one but themselves. Therefore I am unqualifiedly opposed to this 'promiscuous way' or drumming up delegates or messengers at our annual gatherings and enrolling everybody that can pay the price without being required to present the least proof of being a Baptist in good standing. This indiscriminate way of enrolling persons for conventional membership has caused the promotion to be made against as of enrolling other denominations as messengers, with power to vote on Baptist missions on the simple payment of a financial consideration. banned and all three Bishops should stand together for the sake of Bishops' perpetuity and see to it that this strange innovation of a financial basis for individual membership in our Bishops' bodies should be banished forever. A. R. GRIGGS. TROY, N. Y. Troy, N. Y., April 17.—Mrs. Mar- in Jackson, of Selkirk was in the city Sunday, April 16, attending the great evangelistic tabernacle meet- ings going on here by H. C.

In a County Teachers' Institute the question arose as to where was the best place to attend Summer School. All phases of the question were discussed pro and con. The advantages offered, the probable expense, the conveniences provided, the merits of the location, the character of the instructors, were all carefully considered. After much discussion, it was decided that the Christiansburg Normal was most suitable for he following reasons. 1. It is easily accessible. On the main line of the N. & W. with twelve passenger trans daily connecting with lines to all parts of the State. 2. It is up in the mountains. It is rather difficult to do much studying in July when the thermometer registers 100 degrees in the shade. At Christiansburg the days are delightfully cool and blankets are required at night—an ideal situation for study. 3. The instructors are capable and competent. On the Christiansburg Faculty are teachers of long experience in institute work. Their work has received the highest rating, and teachers who have been in their classes are loud in their praise of their methods. 4. The expense is very moderate. If you have not already done so, it would be well to apply for admission to Christiansburg at once. Only a limited number can be accommodated. Write to E. A.
