VOLUME XXXIII, NO. 31 RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 1916 PRICE, FIVE CENTS THE GOOD SAMARITANS IN SESSION HERE HARMONIOUS SESSION—A FINE PARADE—LARGE PUBLIC MEETING-MEMBERSHIP ENCOURAGED. The Grand Lodge, No. 6, of Good Samaritans and Daughters of Samarita, began its sessions last Tuesday, 13th inst., at the Third Street Bottel A. M. E. Church. Grand Chief C. F. Hubbard called the body to order. It has been twenty-two years since a session was held in this city. There it a large attendance and the meetings have been harmonious. Gra. Secretary J. W. Thompson kept a record of the proceedings. MATOR AINSLIE PRESENT It was about 2:30 P. M., Tuesday, when Mayor George Ainslie came in his automobile. He was met at the door by Attorney J. Thomas Hewin, and later was greeted by Editor John Mitchell, Jr. It was about ten minutes later before notice came that the Grand Lodge was ready to receive him. He was escorted to the rostrum by Editor John Mitchell, Jr., and the body arose to receive the distinguished guest. Attorney J. Thomas Hewin presided and proceeded in well chosen words to introduce the Mayor of the city. WOULDNT SPEAK AGAINST THE BAND. The Sharon Reed Band struck up one of its lively airs on the outside, oblities of the fact that it was interrupting the proceedings on the inside. Mayor Ainale humorously remarked that he would not attempt to speak against a band, and he would wait until it got through. Word had been sent to the band leader and alliance reigned. Mayor Ainale stated that he had accepted the invitation extended to him by Attorney Hewin and others, but that he had found that John Mitchell was here upon his arrival, and he was of the opinion that Mitchell was chargeable with a compiracy to promote him. ALWAYS IN A PULPIT. Every time he accepted an invitation, he found himself in a pulpit, and he would not be surprised if they would not be trying next to ordain him for the ministry. He then commented upon the work of the Order of Good Samaritans. He commended the colored people for the laudable effort to lift up the fallen and to extend the hand of charity to the needy. His Honor related many humorous anecdotes, and upon the conclusion of his brief remarks, Presiding Officer Hewin called upon Mrs. M. C. Stewart of Hampton, Va., to respond. MRS. STEWART'S RESPONSE She did this in choice language, referring to historical events of the past. She made a profound impression. At the conclusion of the remarks, the Mayor arose, and in company with Editor Mitchell, proceeded to his automobile on the outside. The parade, led by Chief Marshal W. I. Johnson and Sharon Band was a very fine affair. The Uniform Rank of the Order made a fine display. The outlook is bright for the work of the Order in this State. The public meeting of State Grand Lodge, No. 6, Independent Order of Good Samaritans and Daughters of Samaria at the Third Street Bethel A. M. E. Church was a success. Grand Chief C. F. Hubbard, of Lynchburg, was Master of Ceremonies. Attorney J. Thomas Howin, after a selection by the choir and a Scripture reading by the pastor, Rev. Davis, delivered a timely address. Editor John Mitchell, Jr., who had come to deliver an address, but retired when he found that the body was somewhat late in getting down to business, was not present when called, and music, to the edification of the audience, was rendered by the Jenkins Quartette. The recitation by Miss Naomi Munford was humorous and convulsed the audience with laughter and applause. Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, amidst apause, gave a vivid account of her experiences with a fraternal organisation and voiced sound advice to the members present. After a selection by the choir, John Mitchell, Jr., was introduced by Attorney·Hewin and he spoke upon thrift. After another address and a rendition by the Jenkins Quartette, the meeting adjourned. A reliable person is wanted to go to New York and serve as cook, housewife and do general housework. $20.00 will be paid each month to the right party. Five in family in the summer, and three in family in the winter, in the way the letter reads. First Mass Meeting On Sunday, June 18th, at eight o'clock, the first mass meeting of the B. Y. P. U.'s will be held at the Ebonezer Baptist Church. An interesting program has been prepared. It is planned to make this a monster meeting, and all who may attend will be inspired to make the B. Y. P.

Clemons conducted the meeting for the workers, and everybody enjoyed the hour at the Y. M. C. A. The committee did some excellent work in the City Home (10 A. M.) and the inmates were happy. At 10 A. M., the committee for the jail work found much to be done in the city jail, and the meetings were some of the best. The hearts of the men and women were touched by the many kind thoughts that were presented to them. General Secretary S. C. Burrell addressed the boys (4 P. M.) at the Y. M. C. A. Each boy was very much interested. The meeting was an impressive one. At 5:30 P. M., at the Y. M. C. A. Committeeman A. C. Clarke delivered a special address to the men. Subject: "Confidence."

CHARLES EVANS HUGHES, REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES A Word From Honolulu. Dear Editor,—Pardon me, I write you to ask if you, will publish this message for me as a charitable deed. To my race of people: The Lord has given me a message to deliver to my people, so I am sending a photo of myself and family, with words to try to explain the best I can, through mail, about this message. For one year I have been trying to reach our people through the ministers of different churches in different HON. CHARLES EVANS HUGHES, states, but, however, the message seems to be a failure in that way, so I come to you all, if possible, by this paper. The Lord sanctified me on February 25, 1915, and told me to go into the world and preach the gospel and to speak to the Ethiopian and tell them to unite and organize a Unity and Charity Bank, so I ask each one to please send one dollar, now, and pay twenty-five cents a month to this cause. As soon as enough money is raised, a Unity and Charity Bank will be built in Pacific Grove, California. All who send to this cause please send your money registered, or special delivery, and ask for return receipt from the postmaster. A registered letter will be sent to each one who contributes to this cause every three months, and all particulars stated. So beloved God is our friend. Believe His words—unite, pay attention, believe and trust this message for our race's sake, and accept it as a message from heaven. Hoping to hear from my entire race, I am, your sister in Jesus Christ. Present address: Mrs. Joseph S. Lowe, care of Co. "L", 25th Infantry, Schofield Barracks, Honolulu, H. T. UNVEILING. A large gathering was at the Evergreen Cemetery Monday, June 12, 1916, to witness the unveiling of the handsome monument erected to the memory of Prof. W. B. F. Thompson, by the members of the Imperial Order of King David, of which he was the founder and the Grand Worthy Scribe. Dr. W. H. Stuken, Ph. D., spoke beautifully of the life and character of the damaged. The veil was drawn by Minnie Daisy Right, and Marie Boudreau, after which a beautiful wreath of roses was placed. Out-of-town people—Mina, G. S. Blink, Mr. H. J. Patterson, Sandy Turner, Rev. P. H. Moore, and others. Mrs. Nanelle B. Jackson spoke at Vesper service last Sunday. There was a special message for girls in her address. The girls highly appreciated it. Growing interest in Miss Smith's weekly lectures on association work is shown by the regular attendance of some members and the addition of others each week. Miss Smith will address herself to association finance next week. The public is invited to visit our home. We want you to see and to know what we are doing for the self-supporting young women of our city. REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR PRES TO MEET AT PORTSMOUTH. The Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias, will convene in the city of Portsmouth, Va., next Tuesday at 9 A. M. Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr., and the Richmond delegation will leave next Monday afternoon at 4 P. M. via C. & O. R. R. for that place. The party will arrive in Portsmouth at 6:55 P. M. The uniform Rank, or that part of it which is to go in camp, will leave at the same time. MEMORIAL SERVICE. Memorial Day was observed at Evergreen and Greenwood cemeteries last Tuesday. The parade was highly creditable. The services of two bands and one drum corps enlisted the occasion. A monument to the late W. B. F. Thompson was unveiled. Evangelist Skipwith in Savannah, Ga. First African Baptist Church, Rev. D. A. Reed, pastor. The Rev. W. H. Skipwith, B. D. noted evangelist and great gospel singer, is here, and his influence is being felt throughout the entire city. As a young man, it's a miracle to me how he keeps up. He has just closed eleven weeks of services in the State of Alabama, and now comes to us looking as fresh as though nothing has been doing. He is certainly a God-sent man, and we are expecting a great awakening here during the next two weeks. Over five hundred souls professed faith in God during his campaign in Alabama. We are expecting a greater result. Dr. W. J. Puttin, of Puraville, Va., and Washington, D. C. is in the city taking the State dental examination. Presented K. of P. Embleim. Mr. Alfred M. Holmes, of Henrico county. Va., presented Grand Chanc- celor John Mitchell, Jr. with a hand- carved emblem of the Knights of Pythias. It contains, the shield, swords of defense, and axes, all of which are painted in the colors of the Order, blue, yellow and red. The model has a place in Grand Chanc- celor Mitchell's parlor. More rain, more rest. It may be raining here and it may be clear in Norfolk and Portsmouth. It takes only $1.25 to find that out. Buy your ticket and be happy.

Moss brought in the largest amount and will be inaugurated President at the night service. Dr. T. J. King is pastor. SELF CONTROL (By Lucian B. Watkins.) It has been in my mind for some time to say something on the subject of Self Control. We hear a great deal about the wrongs done us by another race, but very little about those we do ourselves. For many years "The World Almanac" has recorded against us an excessive mortality from homicide. In the issue of 1916, we read: "The excessive mortality from homicides among the colored race is indicated by the following data: For the last available five-year period, in New Orleans the colored rate from homicide was 64.5 per 100,000 of population as against 2.5 for whites; in Savannah, Ga., the comparative rates were 43.5 for the colored against 15; for the whites; and in Charleston, S. C., 60.5 for the colored against 10.7 for the white population." It is easy to say, "Oh, these are the white man's figures, and he makes them to suit himself!" But should we dismiss the matter in this manner. Is this the intelligent way to deal with such an important question? Can we disprove this record? This can only be ascertained by serious thought and investigation. Judging from my own personal observation, I am convinced that our number of homelands, when compared with other races, is exceedingly high. The truth is, we seem to kill each other at the least provocation—in some cases, for no apparent reason whatever". Some of us even seem proud to be known as a person having a quick or dangerous temper—one who will kill if made angry. In April, 1913, in passing through Houston, Texas, I called to see an old friend of mine. In the course of our talks together, this friend spoke of there being so many "killing scraps" among our people in that city. I remarked that it costs only fifteen dollars for the killing of a person there—provided both parties are our race. He said that the white-courts "wink" all such cases. The plea of "self defense" is all that is necessary—the murderer being quitted and finned fifteen dollars of the carrying of concealed weapon. That, usually, the person killed is found with a weapon of some kind about him or her, the carrying of weapons being the practice there, but often the weapon found was with the victim by the murderer himself or by one of the murderer friends, in the way of establishing evidence for the subsequent plea of "self defense." I believe this shameful state of affairs is largely true among our people throughout South. For God's sake, let us remember this evil of killing each other! During my service in the Philippine Islands, I have been much impressed by the brotherly manner in which natives here seem to answer about themselves, having observed them at their carnivals, baseball games, socials, dance halls, contests, and numerous festivals. I find that fight-or-frictions of any serious nature among these people are rare indeed. What a contrast this is compared with what our excursions, plenies, festivals and other socials, often are. Yet, the principal cause of this difference may be stated in one word: ALCOHOLICS. The Filipino hardly uses strong drink at all. His drink, for the most part, is "tuba," which is nothing more than our apple cider of a few days fermentation. On the other hand, we know that strong, drink is the chief source of trouble among us at our social gathering. Let us face this ugly fact squarely and resolve, right here, to live solves. When a man takes to drink it is deplorable; when a race does so it is disastrous. I am a prohibitionist, at heart; but I can only prohibit one person—myself. We, as a race, need to learn the lesson of temperance in all things. We need to learn it for our own welfare, and for the welfare of the human race. I believe there is such a thing as "righteous indignation." That a man is justified in defending himself, his family, his property, or his charge of any kind. That such a course is plainly a matter of his duty, and that he should do this in the spirit of doing any other important duty. That this, in itself, is self control in a very high sense. But let us learn to deal with each other, and with the world, in the light of intelligence, and in the spirit of Christianity. Let us have peace among ourselves—not peace at any price but peace at the price of peace. We have a common suffering that should unite us; a mutual sorrow that should make us love one another; a single purpose that should lift us high above the petty things of life that now threaten to make us forget the great goal toward which we are journeying. We claim to love God. The best way to show this is by loving our fellowman; by having patience, forbearance and self control in our dealings together. We cannot afford to fight among ourselves. We cannot afford to be angry with one another. We have a mighty task ahead of us; for this task we need PRICE, FIVE CENTS the pulse and the power of Self Control. We call him GREAT for whom men strong and sure, Charged with the leaping lightning of his will, Crush mountains, shatter worlds and mold them o'er BUT HE WHO RULES HIMSELF IS GREAER STILL. LITCIAN B.

Gladstone Marshall as a musician-Rev. W. J. Lucas Making Good as a Pastor -Dissemination At Abbsiya Baptist Church Over Election -Young Educator In the City-Prof. E. A. Chisholm Here in the Interest of Southern America, National Reau Opens Headquarters of Harlem -The Colored American Review In Leading Negro Magazine. [Allen's National News Bureau, 2305 Sixth Ave.] New York City, June 10—H. Gladstone Marshall is one of the most prominent young musicians of this city and is a well-known figure in the musical life of the metropolis. He is doing good work as an instructor, organizer and organist, and is making a place for himself that is giving him a place in "Who's Who" among the musicians. For four years he was organist at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church and his faithful work at this church resulted in the best choirs of the city. He resigned this office to take up work at Rush Memorial Zion Church, and nicely the choir of this church is taking on new and efficient life. Some years ago he organized the Gilded Hand Society or orchestra, made up for the most part of young men who had no special training in music. His own orchestra is composed of some of the best trained men of the profession and is popular among the musical festivals of the city. As an instructor, he has the capability and gets the results. His veracity is seen in the number of instruments that he plays. As a musician, Prof. Marshall is a serious and earnest student in doing for the development of the higher side of the profession. KEV W J LUCAS BRILLIANT YOUNG PASTOR Rev W J Lucas, who for three years has been pastor of the Ephesian Baptist Church, is one of the most brilliant of the younger clergymen of the race, and is destined to take a high place in the ministry. Since his pastorate at this church he has been very successful and has gotten fine results. The church has a membership of 166 and a church property valued at $18,000, and is well organized. Whatever improvement has come about in the work of the church has been done since the pastorate of Rev Lucas, who is well trained for his life's work. He was born in Louisa, Va., and was educated in public schools of his native city. He later entered the Virginia Union University, from which he is a graduate of both the college and theological departments. While in college Rey Lucas distinguished himself as a Latin scholar, and was offered the chair of Latin at Howard University. He was also formerly instructor at Virginia Union seminary. Flushing is a suburb of New York and the work of Rey Lucas is of a pioneer nature. The church is fast becoming the center of the religious and social life of the town Rey Lucas has done much towards giving the young men of Flushing the right conception of life. He is the type of young man to succeed. DISSENTIFICATION OVER CHURCH ELIGIBILITY BAPTIST CHURCH Your correspondent has all evidence that considerable trouble has been caused at Albastonia Baptist Church, the result of a recent church election which ended in the defeat of S. Sherret, who for twenty-one years has been the faithful church cleric. According to the information that he has come to your correspondent the mode of election was chained in order to defeat Mr. Sherret, and that could enable evasion was done by a faction who planned to overthrow his election. He has been able to follow closely in the path of the social members of the church over the success that had come to Mr. Sherret since he had held this office and that on undercover root developed which started to work against Mr. Sherret. Miss Dorothy Boyd, who was the assistant to Mr. Skertler, re-claimed claiming that she was not in sympathy with the method used in the election. Touring the administration of Mr. Skertler the church enjoyed its most prosperous period of finance of the church never being in better condition. Friends expressed themselves to you correspondent as feeling the need to visit the churches of the church, and as the result an unfortunate situation has developed. The office of church clerk is one of the most responsible office in the church, and must be held by a man of ability and integrity. PROF E A CHISHOLM HERE IN INTEREST OF SCHOOL One of the most enterprising of the younger educators of the race, who believes in the Booker T. Washington system of education, is Prof. E. A Chisholm, principal of the Robert Hungerford Industrial School at Eatonville, Florida. The Robert Hungerford school is doing splendid work in the section where it is located, and the students are doing his queries to the upbuilding of the school. Prof. Chisholm is a graduate of Hampton Institute, and shortly after his graduation, went South to teach in the Palne College in Augusta, Ga. He later accepted a position with the Robert Hungerford school, and his work the first year was so effective that he was offered by the trustees of the school the principalship of the institution. Your correspondent interrupted Prof. Chisholm last week, and asked me to help to the work of the school and that he hoped his trip North would be fruitful. He told of a need of strong institutions in the state of Florida, as it was one of the plovt points in the education of the Negro. The school is only eighteen years of are and has a school plant valued at $75,000. The school has twelve buildings and twelve teachers, and a student body of over one hundred students. A thorough course, is given in all of the industrial, branches. Well-known men of the North, like W. J. Schafferin and G. W. Wilcox, are interested in the work of the school: Prof. Chisholm is an earnest young man and is doing splendid work. ALLEN'S NATIONAL NEWS BUREAU IN NEW HEADQUARTERS. Cleveland G. Allen, the newspaper correspondent, has opened headquarters at 2305 Seventh Avenue and will continue to develop his idea of a sarong news bureau that will reflect the achievements of the race. Mr. Allen has moved in the heart of the Negro section of the Metropolis, where he will be in touch with the beat of the activities of the race, and where he will have an opportunity to study the progress of the race from angles. He will carry on the color press planning for the colored press throughout the country—giving to the Negro press firsthand information relative to what is being done by the race throughout the country. Newspapers throughout the country desire information from this center relative to the progress of the Negro are invited to write for terms. Your correspondent will be glad to get any assistance from the public spirit men and women of the race, who desire to see the race get wide public through the press of the nation, and to expose the wrongs to which they suffer. For over a decade your correspondent has been careful in order that the race might get publicity through both the colored and white press. This is the and he feels that his efforts in this direction ought to be encouraged. Any helpful suggestion from any one throughout the country will be very much appreciated. During our career in the profession, we have fought discrimination in the United States Navy, exposed the hypocrisy of the Birth of a Nation, called attention to the injustices of the Will to administration, as well as to laying and other forms of discrimination to which the Negro suffers. THE COLLORED AMERICAN REVIEW MAGAZINE WITH TONG PERIODIC The Colleged American Review magazine, which is published in this city at 205 Seventh Avenue, to doubtless the strongest periodical of its kind launched by men of the race. The magazine has now taken on national scope and it bids fair to become the leading magazine of the race. Five magazines have had the growth of this publication, and since began in October, 1915, it has gripped the conscience of the nation as few organs of this country have. It started at 4229 Avenue Avenida, and Welcome Woman, who has promoted many enterprises of the kind. Mr. Welcome saw and felt the need of a publication that would reflect the life of the Negro and that the time was ripe for the launching of the same. The first editor was Cyril Briggs, who did fine pioneer work. The magazine continued to grow until larger quarters were needed, and as a result, the magazine moved to present headquarters. A company has now been formed for the publication of the magazine, w. F. M. Robinson, President; E. Toussaint Welcome, Vice president; and Louis W. George, Secretary and Treasurer. Thomas Fortune, the oldest editor of the race became the editor and that an announcement that will be received throughout the country will much concern. It is a great publication and the race throughout the country will be well to watch monthly. CLEVELAND, ALLEN HADLEY GIVES SEAT TO COLORED DELEGATE Chicago, June 7. Ex-Gov. Robert S. Hadley of Missouri started up a coalition of the Missouri delegation by mounting a wave from the legislation and turning his delegate seat over to his Nero alternate. Some of the members of the Missouri delegation started a movement to out the alternate on the ground that he was for Reservist and not for Hughes. Ex-Gov. Hadley wired today that under the rule adopted by the Missouri State convention, the alternate was entitled to the seat, and he said he would insist that the alternate be seated. SCHOOL INSPECTION.

Roosevelt against John Ellis Roosevelt, which was pressed after Roosevelt's annulment action in Kinga County had been dismissed, went to trial yesterday before Supreme Court Justice Clark, with Mrs. Roosevelt on the stand a great part of the day.

He is curried in Naples after a honeymoon trip to Egypt, the second was in the Hotel Savoy, London, on the same trip, and the third was at the Roosevelt country place at Sayville, L. I. Mrs. Roosevelt testified concerning her marriage to the defendant at the home of her sister, who is the wife of the defendant's brother. Robert F. Roosevelt, in Washington, on January 6, 1914. She had been married before to a naval officer who died. She was the defendant first as a vision at her sister's country place at Sayville. "After our marriage we came to the Hotel Plaza in this city," said Mrs. Roosevelt. "Five weeks later left for Alexandra, Egypt, on the stewardship Adrincat. Our relations on the Adrincat were not at all pleasant," said Mrs. Roosevelt. She told of meeting Mr. and Mrs. Howard Meredith of Detroit on the trip, and the two couples were together a great deal. TELLS OF QUARRELS "Our first serious quarrel occurred in the hotel at Naples," said Mrs Roosevelt. "We had been mooting and sight-sighting all day and returned very weary. I was awakened later by Mr Roosevelt and asked him to please leave me alone. He got into a terrific race and started to choke me to death. I tried to ward him off, but was as a disadvantage. He was like a dog to me. I threatened to call for help, and that saved him and he be alone." When asked by her attorney for details concerning the choking, Mrs Roosevelt said her husband had both hands on the front of her throat. "He used a great deal of profanity and vile language," she said. "There were marks on my throat next day. I spoke to Mr. Meredith about it two days later when he saw the marks on my neck. Mrs Meredith also saw the marks, as she showed plaintly through my arm during the conversation. Concerning the second cruel act, at the Hotel Savoy, London, on April 19th 1914, Mrs Roosevelt said: "During the day I had been shopping with Mrs. Merelith. We woke to the Empire Theatre that night and later to the Romaine Cafe, returning to the hotel about 12. During the evening, Mr. Roosevelt acted in a very peculiar way. He left the box and did not come back until a long whirl-later. At Romaine's he was mooch. When we returned to our apartment, he told me that he told him that his actions were very rude. He flew into a violent rage: the tone of his voice was loud and he was profane. "When I went to my room to um press he followed and used thought- language. He again grabbed me by the throat, kissed me on the bed and told me he would break every in my body unless I did what he said." HER GOWN TORN Mrs. Roosevelt said she telephoned to the apartment occupied by the Morriths and they came to the Roosevelt suite. When they arrived her room was torn nearly off and hung down her back. Concerning the third attack by her husband, Mrs. Roosevelt said that on October 3, 1915, she was on the veranda of the Roosevelt estate at Sawville, having returned from dinner with her sister and the latter's husband. The gunreler because of difference between a Mr. Roosevelt and myself over one point for the shooter, said Mrs. Roosevelt "His manner of speaking was most objectionable and his brother told him he ought to be ashamed of himself to use such language in the presence of ladies and that he was ashamed to call him his brother." Following the testimony of Mrs. Roosevelt, the court heard the evidence of Mr. and Mrs. Meredith. The former said he saw the brushes on Mrs. Roosevelt both at Naples and the Hotel Savoy. "We were awakened at midnight by Mrs. Roosevelt's call," said Meredith. "She asked us to come right over and when I said it was too late, she pleaded, and we went. Mr. Roosevelt met us at the door of the room and tried to keep us out, but Mrs. Roosevelt let us in. She was nervous and hysterical, and her gown day I saw black and blue marks on her neck. Mrs. Roosevelt had been drinking champagne that night, but not an unusually large amount. Mr. Roosevelt drank whiskey and soda." Mrs. Meredith corroborated the testimony of her husband. The case will go on today.—N. Y. Sun, June 7, 1916 J. E. Roosevelt Says He Saw Ruln Coming to Him. Y. Sun. June 8, 1916.] John Ellis Roosevelt, attorney and cousin of Col. Roosevelt, defended himself belligerently on the witness stand before Supreme Court Justice Clark yesterday from the accusations of cruelty made by his wife, after his brother, Robert B. Roosevelt had testified against him. He denied that he ever abused his wife, and said that because of her conduct in leaving him without cause and then going him for separation he was compelled to strip himself of all his property, and now has an account of him than $500. He became that he transformed the bulk of his property to his three daughters. Before the defendant was guilty of the time he happened, the son of of Israel, Jeremiah and Shimon, he said and tried to prove the contrary between them. He left of the group between the brother and the nephew on the uncle of their parents home last October, which is one of Mrs. Roseveil's three allegations of cruelty. The witness and his wife were there at the time, he said. EPITHETS WHISPERED TO COURT "I said substantially that I thought he couldn't act the way he was acting and get along decently," testified the witness. "I told him he couldn't expect a woman to do as he had asked his wife to do. There was some very violent language used by John E. Roosevelt. The witness said the defendant applied epithets to the plaintiff, but when asked to give them he objected and appealed to Justice Clark. The attorneys then agreed that the "abusive words" could be whispered to the court privately, and this was done. Telling of his brother's financial condition, Robert B. Roosevelt said their father's estate was between $600,000 and $700,000. It has not been reported that brother John and sister each get $500 a month from it. He said his brother inherited $100,000 or more from his uncle, Cornell Roosevelt. When the defendant took the stump he was questioned first concerning his means. He testified that he transferred the bulk of his property to his daughters, Mrs. Panyy Litt and Miss Jean Roosevelt. He has a third daughter who is not in good health and for whom he has much provision. "I haven't any money now," said Mr. Roosevelt. "My daughter pays all the bills. I haven't employed a chauffeur for the last two months since my daughter took him over. For two months I have paid no bills at all. I saw this coming." SAW RUIN COMING. "Saw what coming?" asked Mrs Roosevelt's attorney. "My rule - I saw it six months ago." "You saw it at the end of the King county action, didn't you?" "No, I saw it after I had paid $5,000 legal fees this year and my wife, after leaving me, had contracted $1,500 My wife walked out of my house with out a word and contributed the money I gave her to my brother's household I didn't turn her out." Mr. Roosevelt testified that the property he transferred included mortgages aggregating $47,000, ten shares each of National Lead and Lawyers. The insurance, and thirty nine shares of American Telephone and Telegraph. He gave his daughter property. Flushing and all his remainder interest in his father's estate. He admitted that his wife didn't sign the deed to the real estate he transferred. He couldn't remember what property I transferred in 1915, although he remembered later that there were about $40,000 in Lakawanna Steel bond and shares in two corporations. He was sure the total value of the property transferred was not $500,000. He held in the Hotel Saxoy, London, Mr. Roosevelt and her witnesses said I defendant toro her dinner gown half off in their rooms, Mr. Roosevelt said; QUARRELED IN CAFE "We quarrelled first in the care over my wife my wife and drank. I resummated with her. When I saw the condition she was in I tried to help her unhook her dress when we got to our rooms. She pushed me away, and I told her not to be so foolish, because she couldn't get out of her gown without help. I might have shaken her some, but it was not intentional. It was too late to call for a maid. I thought she ought to have help. Mr. Rosewell said he hesitated about letting Mr. and Mrs. Howard Mereddin in after Mrs. Rosewell had sent for them," because I didn't want them to see her. He said: "I could have given up if I had cared to, Mr. Mereddin was silent, and I could have handled him." The defendant said he wasn't talking to his wife at all in the Sayville quarrel, but was speaking to her sister, his brother's wife. I told her her whole damn family was rotten except her sister, May Curtin." As to the alleged cruelty in the hotel at Naples, Mr. Roosevelt said: What I did was because she dared me. I did amit that I used any violence, but that I did was the reult of a dare. The trial will continue today. Daughters' Stories Ald J. Roosevelt. Supreme Court Justice Clark reserved decision yesterday in the separation suit of Mrs. Edith Roosevelt against John Ellis Roosevelt after the plaintiff's sister, Mrs. Robert B. Roosevelt, had testified in her behalf and Mr. Roosevelt's two daughters and his former chauffeur had said that he was never cruel to his wife. William Conchep, who was Mr. Roosevelt's chauffeur until he gave the car to one of his daughters, testified in him Mrs. Roosevelt confided in him her intention to take her husband before she told any one else. "When she told me she was going to leave I said I was very sorry," testified the chauffeur. "She replied that by leaving him then she could get a better financial settlement than she could get later." CHAUFPEUR THINKS HUSBAND KIND. The chauffeur was questioned as to Mr. Rooserval's ability to drive a car because the testimony by his wife that his rocking driving made her nervous. "I heard Mrs. Rooserval say something like that," said Conech, but Mr. Rooserval was a very careful driver. He was always very kind to his wife and I never heard him say anything. Mrs. Rooserval, the detainment daughter, who told the court without in his behalf, said that whether she heard anything about her or his wife be involved in the Miss Bremner said just there had been no friend or relation between her father and his brother, Robert B. Bremner, who the father died in 1994. The two were unable to see any member of her uncle's family after that, she said. SAYS FATHER "STOOD A GREAT DEAL When cross-gamified by her stepmother's lawyer, Miss Roosevelt said: "My father stood a great deal more provocation than I would have stood. I suppressed the provocation I had over the marriage, to which I was naturally opposed, not wishing to save her in the home. I saw, during the summer, my father, and his wife wore together, that she did not; oare to do her best by my father. Our relations were never openly unfriendly." "A sort of armed neutrality?" asked the lawyer. "Strict neutrality rather," replied Miss Roosevelt. Mrs. Gladys Roosevelt Dick, the defendant's married daughter, gave money that caused her father to fold his arms on the edge of the counsel table and sob. She said: "We had never opposed his marriage to this lady, nor did we approve it. We were hoping for the best out of a marriage in which such a wide disparity of ages existed. We were hoping for a marriage of good points I our prospective stenother and hoped she would improve them and make my father happy." CALLS STEPMOTHER SELFISH. "After the marriage our distrust was justified. Mrs. Roosevelt became utterly selfish, paid no attention to my father and made life for him an awful mess." Mrs. Lida B. Roosevelt, wife of Robert B. Roosevelt and sister of the plaintiff, corroborated her husband's testimony as to the abusive words used by the defendant in the Sayville quarrel. She wrote them down for the court and said they filled her and her husband with disgust and caused them to leave at once. Her sister lived with her in Washington after parting from her husband. She believed that the allowance of $300 a month her sister got from the defendant was very small for a man of her age. When called in rebuttal, Mr. Roosevelt declared that he didn't raise his voice until the memory of his dead wife was attacked. He said he was bullied by his wife's sister and tricked into the present suit by his wife and the Robert B. Roosevelts. MAJOR MOTON'S FIRST DUTY 1 New York New 1 As we have been we shall be stammer and devoted friends of Tuskegee Institute. We pledge our unwerving fealty to its program and its policy of industrial and moral preparation of the race of the South and the country for full federal and equal America can citizenship. We have no need to reform here our long and demonstrated admiration and friendship for its stalwart and promising new principal, Major Moton. We are fully cognizant of the treachery and deception of South Africa, and we now the preness of those correspondents to seek to embarrass and degrade the colored people and to humiliate their leaders by placing them in a false position before the world. If a colored man in Dixie asserts his and his race rights and manhows he is immediately set upon and estroced as a "burly and undestable Negro" seeking to stir up racial strife. If he diplomatically seeks to placate the South's public sentiment, he is cruelly exploited and exalted in a cringing, position, debating to soften and his people. Realizing these things, we atmpuzzle with the well-health impossible situation in which Major Moton has been placed by the humiliating Pullman car incident in which Mrs. Moton was the principal at Troy, Alabama, early last week. A cultured lady returning to her home from the manguagement of her husband at the head of the South's and one of the country's, leading and most famous institutions, she naturalized and became an ence and comfort of a Pullman in her long ride of hundreds of mile back to Hampton, Virginia. In the miserable little village of Troy the complaints of the equally miserable and degraded poor white Alhambanians—who wanted in some concrete way to show their prejudice and assumed superiority over the stylishly gowned, unoffending colored lady—appealed to the so-called police officials there to "put her in her place." Straightway they forced her to go into the filth, disgraceful Jim Crow car. Booker T. Washington fought in his own way one of his finest and most successful nights to compel the railroad officials of the South to give his people squat railroad accommodations, which under such circumstances certainly include the Pullman. He had not succeeded in persuading them to grant anything like decent accommodations in the Jim Crow cars. Not only is that car next generally to the engine, but most often it is only the front end of the smoking car next to the engine. However, in the Moton incident the rebel spirit of white supremacy was satisfied. The spirit of twelve million rising, plodding, black Americans was crushed—BUT ONLY FOR A TIME. Nothing is ever settled until it is settled right. The Jim Crow car ghost will rise up to plague the bourbon South at a most uncomfortable hour. Major Moton, however, as the Associated Press reports it, when informed of the incident is alleged to have stated that he advised his family not to ride on Pilhanus. In the South, but that some other counsel had evidently believed. We do not believe that Moton was the only person to need, so suppressing publicly his wife. We would not have the authority we required.

It will never be helped long or to may be by an objector of the more rights. Major Motson's first duty to himself and his race is to set himself new and at all times four squares with the progress of his people. MAJOR MOTON UNDER FIRE. [Baltimore (Md.) Afro-American.] It is rather不fortunate that just after the inauguration of Tuskegee's new principal, his wife and brother should be ejected from a Pullman sleeping car and compelled to ride in a "Jim Crow" day coach. Not that the incident presents anything that is unusual, the rather is it is the ordinary happening to the colored person, whether respectable or not, who would travel in comfort on the railways of the South. A little over two months ago, two bishops of the A. M. E. Church were forced out of their berths into a separato car. The unfortunate part is that the incident involved a Major Moton declare his position on the separato car; and the press, North and South, besieged the new Principal for a statement of his views of the incident. However, Major Moton was alive to the situation, and in the diplomatic manner of his predecessor, refrained from making any statement that could be quoted. VIEWED from the ground of those hostile to Tuskegee, there were just two things that Major Moton could do. He could call down curses upon the separate car system of the South and thru the United States courts make a move for equal accommodation of the employees of the Pullman pany. In either case the Major would make thousands of enemies. In the first instance, he would lose the support and aid of the white South, so necessary to the largest development of Tuskegee; in the second instance he would lose confidence and co-operation of the colored people, equally necessary if the Tuskegee of the army is to fulfill its mission. Enemies of the moton were of the opinion that they had in mind a sittion where he must choose between the two supports, both of which were indispensable. Doubtless these same enemies regarded it as a triumph when it was reported that "Major Moton was in full sympathy with the feeling of the South and has never in any way desired to override" public opinion in the matter of racial relations." But if these unsigned and unquoted statements are taken as evidence that Tuskegee was the principal in a traitor to his own people will not succeed in estranging these people. If certain exigencies demand that R. Moton, as principal of Tuskegee, make certain statements for the benefit of the institution he serves, we need no assurances where R. Moton, the man, stands on the same proposition. Savings Bank Centennial Series. NO. 11--YOUR BUSINESS CHARACTER. In all business operations involve the credit certain requisites are essential. If the risk is to provide satisfactory to the one who extends the credit. These requisites are last expressed in what has well been termed the "Three Big Cs of Credit", namely, Character, Capacity and Capital. This talk will cover the first. In order to possess a business character, a man need not have what is ordinarily known as business honesty, for business honesty is not as big a thing as business integrity. Neither need a man say long prayers and pass the plate, however admirable these traits may be. He must have more than asemblance of religion. He must carry the religion of the Ten Commandments, the Sermon on the Mount and the Golden Rule into his business life. He must trickle thing; he must be on the hook. He must give the scourge deal. His word must be greater than his bond. He must mark gold fairly, advertise honesty, rectify and error, correct any ununderstanding, and never forget that his best advertisement is a satisfied customer, and satisfied customers are made only by business integrity. The buying public soon finds out the spirit of, of the house. You can catch a snicker but once. It doesn't pay to try the second time. You do well to inquire how this element of integrity enters into your business life, for if the banker does not believe in you, you can get no loans from him. You can lose this price- An American who claims the Old North State as his native soil, is a frequent caller around a certain business house in Richmond. As a "pain-bearer" he has no superior and few equals. This "old Tar-heel" decided to purchase a pair of kickers, and did do so. The next day he appeared around his usual haunts, walking very slowly and with much effort. When asked about his sudden honeymoon, he replied that he had a severe pain in the stomach. Someone mentioned that his shoes were so a little tight. He said nothing could be further from data, else, that the shoes were just tight. If anything they were a little knight. The he sent for a small bank business, view, and cash in his hand planning to open it. A certain bank made a deal to a banker for a special operation, with the understanding that the funds were to be used for purchasing material and pay bills for that job. It was assumed that the banker intended to be prosecuting well with the work nothing had been done—he had used the money elsewhere. It was brought to trust. The banker had checked him up as bankers generally do. He has lost his character. In that bank, and his word no longer rose. Another concern was buying automobiles with the bank's money, giving the bank a trust receipt whereby cars could not be delivered without obtaining a release from the bank and paying on the loan. The banker became suspicious that something was wrong and checked up the cars presumed to be in stock on the bank and agreed to hold the four had sold without accounting to the bank. Result—a hasty calling of the entire loan, loss of confidence, loss of a helpful business arrangement, friendship. You cannot play fast and loose in business and win out. You cannot deceive your banker for long. He has a knack of finding things out. Gossip gets to him fast. He has a second sense that smells danger. He is a detective. Therefore, build your business structure with character as the first of three supporting pliers. Be as active in the church as you be; be as good as you pretend to be; be as good as that in business it is not what you seem to be but what you are that counsels, and your true nature will soon become manifest to those who are in position to find things out and can help you if they trust you, but cannot if they don't.

Copyright, 1913, by Harper & Brothers. WITH the completion of the railroad to the glacier crossing there came to it a certain amount of travel, consisting mainly of prospectors bound to and from the interior. The Cortez winter trail was open, and over it passed most of the traffic from the northward mining camps, but now and then a frost rimmed stranger emerged from the canyon above O'Nell's terminus with tales of the gold country or a venture some sledge party or a venture,almondland or the head of the track. Murray made up of galloping these trailers on his construction trains and of feeding him in his camps as freely as he did his own men. In time the wavering line of sled tracks became fairly well broken, and scarcely a week passed without bringing several "numbers." One day as O'Nell was picking his way through the outskirts of the camp he encountered one of his night foremen and was surprised to see that the fellow was leading a trail dog by a chain. Now these malamutes are as much a part of the northland as the winter snow, and they are a common eight in every community, but the J. "We came to take pictures," she an nounced. "We came to take pictures," she announced. man's patent embarrassment challenged Murray's attention; he acted as if he had been detected in a theft or a breach of duty. "Hello, Walsh. Been buying some live stock?" O'Neil inquired. "Yes, sir. I picked up this dog cheap." "Harness, too, eh?" Murray noted that Walsh's arms were full of gear-enough, indeed, for a full team. Knowing that the foreman had no dogs, he asked half banderly: "You're not getting ready for a trip, I hope? "No, sir. Not exactly, sir. The dog was cheap, so I—I just bought him." As a matter of fact, dogs were not cheap, and Walsh should have been in bed at this hour. Murray walked on wondering what the fellow could be up to. Later he came upon a laborer dickering with a Kayak Indian over the price of a fur robe, and in front of a bunkhouse he found, other members of the night crow talking earnestly with two lately arrived strangers. They fell silent as he approached and responded to his greeting with a peculiar nervous exaggeration. Raring after him curiously as he passed on. He expected Dr. Gray out from Omar, but as he neared the track he met Mellen. The bridge superintendent engaged him briefly upon some detail, then said: "I don't know what's the matter with the men this morning. They're loading." "Losing? Nonsense! You expect too much." Mellen abook his head. "The minute my back is turned they begin to goosep. I've had to call them down." "Perhaps they want a holiday." "They're not that kind. There's something in the air." While they were speaking the morning train pulled in, and O'Nell was surprised to see at least a dozen townpeople descending from it. They were loafers, saloon frequenters, for the most part, and, oddly enough, they had with them dogs and sleds and all the equipment for travel. He was prevented from making inquiry, however, by a abase from Dr. Gray, who cried: "Hey, chief! Look who's here!" O'Nell hastened forward with a group upon the lily. For Stanley was helping Elian and Matilda down from the cabins which served as a passenger room. The young women, becoming tired in their winters when winter made a picture good to look upon, Matilda had become wonderful, since her marriage and retired by her, she didn't want to stay. sweetness, a warmth and womanliness which had been lacking before. As for Eliza, she had never appeared more sparkling, more freshly wholesome and fancy than on this morning. "We came to take pictures," she announced. "We want to see if the bridge auits us." "Don't you believe her, Mr. O'Nell," said Natlille. "Dan-told us you were working too hard, so Eliza insisted on taking you in hand. I'm here merely in the office of chaperon and common scold. You have been overdressed. You're positively haggard." Gray nodded. "He won't mind me. I hope you'll abuse him well. Go at him hammer and songs." Ignoring Murray's snailling assertion that he was the only man in camp who really suffered from illnesses, the girls pulled him about and examined him critically, then fell to discussing him as if he were not present. "He's worn to the bone," said Eliza. "Did you ever see anything like his wrinkles? He looks like a dried apple." Natalie declared. "Dan says he doesn't eat." "Probably he's too busy to chew his food. We'll make him Fleetzerize"—"And eat soup. Then we'll mess his underclothes. I'll warrant he doesn't dress properly." "How much sleep does he get? Natalie queried of the physician. "About half as much as he needs." "Leave him to us," said Eliza grimly. "Now, where does he live? We'll start in there." 'O'Neil protested faintly. "Please don't! I hate soup, and I can't allow anybody to pry into my wardrobe. It won't stand inspection." Miss Appleton pointed to his feet and asked crisply: "How many pairs of socks do you wear?" "One." Natalie was shocked. "One pair of socks in this cold! It's time we took a hand. Now, lead us to this rabbit hole where you live." With a feminine touch the girls enthusiastically fisted up Murray's home. They put his house in order; they mended his socks. They had just finished their work when the doctor came running. He began angrily: "I've been looking for you, Murray. The men are all spitting." O'Neil started, "All quitting? What are you talking about?" "There's a stampede-n gold stampede!" Murray stared at the speaker as if doubting his own senses. "There's no gold around here," he said at last. "Two men came in last night. They have been prospecting over in the White river and report the quartz. They've got samples with 'em and say there are pierce indications everywhere." The significance of the incidents which had troubled him earlier in the day flashed upon O'Neill: it was plain enough now why his men had been gossiping and buying dogs and fur robes. "Who are these prospectors?" he inquired curtly. "Nobody seems to know. Their names are Thorn and Baker. That gang from O'Neill has gone on and our people will follow in the morning. Those who can't scrape up an outfit here are going into town to equip. We won't have fifty men on the job by tomorrow night." "What made Baker and Thorn stop here?" Gray shrugged. "Tired out, perhaps. We've got to do something quick. Murray. Thank God, we don't have to sell 'em grub or haul 'em to Omar. That will check things for a day or two. If they ever start for the interior we're lost, but the cataract isn't frozen over and there only one sled trail past it. We don't need more than six good, men to do the trick." "We can't stop, a stampede that way." Dr. Gray's face fell into harline hills. "I'll bend a Winchester over the first man who tries to pass. Apleton held the place last summer; I'll guarantee to do it now." "No. The men have a right to quit, Stanley. We can't force them to work. We can't build this bridge with a chain gang." "Humph! I can beat up these two prospectors and ship 'em in to the hospital until things cool down." "That won't do, either. I'll talk with them and if their story is right—well, I'll throw open the commissary and cut every one." Kim gaped; Gray stammered. "You're crazy!" exclaimed the doctor. "If it's a real stampede they'll go anyhow, so we may as well take our medicine with a good grace. The loss of even a hundred men would cripple us." "The camp is nothing. It's all Melkus can do to keep the day shift at work. If you talk to 'em they'll listen to you." "Argument won't away them. This isn't a stilt; it's a gold rush." He turned toward the town. Kim was speechless with dizziness as the parental inside huddle they were screaming loudly and mocking another child. "If I don't talk to thought. The gravity of this final catastrophe left nothing to be said. Stanley lost little time in bringing the two miners to the office, and there for a half hour Murray talked with them. When they perceived that he was disposed to treat them courteously they told their story, in detail and answered his questions with apparent honesty. They willingly showed him their quartz samples and retaliated the hardships they had suffered. Gray listened impatiently and once or twice undertook to interpolate some question, but at a glance from his chief he destined. Nevertheless his long fingers itched to lay hold of the strangers and put an end to this tale which threatened rule. His anger grew when Murray displaced them with every evidence of a full belief in their words. like that? One of this workmen answered: "I have." Where? "In the Jumbo, at Goldfield. I high graded' there in the early days." There was a laugh at this. Thorn fushed angrily. "Well, he rejoined. we've got the same formation over there in the White river. It's just like Goldfield. It'll be the same kind of a ramp, too, when the news gets out." O'Nell broke in smoothly to say: "Most of our fellows have no dogs. It will take them three weeks to cover the trail. They'll have to spend three weeks in there, then three weeks more coming out-over two months and gether. They can't haul enough grub to do them." He turned to his employer and said gravely: "You'd better think it over, loves. Those who have "Yes!" be a cooked it up. O'Nell nod. "This is the key to get my men to you. You fellow text yourself to do it for you thinned when I said and help you gonine but, to know just meant to me, easy to complete can't raise an option to as built by you two years' not believe it." I know it can tell me. "Now that the news is out and my men are determined to quit I want everybody to have an equal chance." O'Nell announced as they rose to go. "There's bound to be a great rush and a lot of suffering, maybe some deaths. so I'm going to call the boys together and have you talk to them." Thorn and Baker agreed and departed. As the door closed behind them Gray exploded, but Murray checked him quickly, saying with an abrupt change of manner: "Walt! Those felows are lying." Selzing the telephone, he rang, or Dan Appleton and swiftly made known the situation. Stanley could hear the engineer's startled exclamation. "Get the cable to Cortez as quickly as you can." O'Nell was saying, "You have friends there, haven't you? Good. He's just the man, for he'll have Gordon's payroll. Find out if Joe Thorn and Henry Baker are known and, if so, who they are and what they've been doing lately. Get it quick, understand. Then phone him." He slammed the receiver upon its hook, "That's not Alaska quiritz." he said shortly "It came from Nevada, or I'm greatly mistaken. Every hard rock minor car ries specimen like those in his kit." "You think Gordon"— "I don't know. But we've got men on this job who're come out of any mine they ever worked in Go find them, then come back here and hold the line open for Iran." "Suppose he can't locate these follows in Cortez?" "Then—Let's not think about that." The news of O'Nell's attitude spread quickly, and excitement grew among the workmen. Up through the child darkness of early evening they came charging. They were notisy and eager, and when the gong summoned them to supper they rushed the messhouse in bostorous good humor. Those men, it be said, were not those who had struck earlier in the season at the boshest of Gordon's emissary, Linn, but fellows whose loyalty and industry were unquestioned. Their resusal to stampede at the first news was proof of their devotion, yet any one who had lived in a mining community knows that no loyalty of employee to employer is strong enough to withstand for long the feverish excitement of a gold rush. Long before the hour when O'Nell appeared the low roofed messhouse was crowded. Natalie and Bliza, knowing the im-portance of this crisis, refused to go home and begged Murray to let them attend the meeting. Mr. Blaha, who also felt the keenest concern in the outcome, offered to escort them, and at last with some difficulty he managed to woke them inside the door where they up-reluctively scanned the gathering. Murray had no skill as a public speaker in the ordinary sense; he at tempted no oratorial tricks and addressed his workmen in a matter of fact tone. "Boys," he began, "there has been a gold strike at the head of the White river and you want to go. I don't blame you; I'd like to go myself if there's any chance to make money." "You're in right, boss!" shouted some one, and a general laugh attested the crowd's relief at this acceptance of the inevitable. They had expected argument, despite the contrary assurances they had received. "Now, we all want an even break. We want to know all there is to know, so that a few fellows won't have the advantage of the rest. The strike is 300 miles away. It's winter and--you know what that means. I talked with Baker and Thorn this afternoon. I want them to tell you just what they told me." CHAPTER XX. THE two minors were thrust forward. and the embarrassed Thorn, who had acted as spokesman, was boosted to a table. Under Murray's encouragement he stammered out the story of his good fortune, the tale running straight enough to fan excitement into a blaze. There was no disposition to doubt, for news of this sort is only too sure of credence. When the speaker had finished O'Neil inquired: "Are you an experienced quarts miner? Do you know ore when you see it?" "Sure! I worked in the Jumbo, at Goldfield, Nev. up to last year. So did Baker." "When did you go into the White river country?" "August." "How did you go in?" "We packed in. When our grub ran out we killed our horses and cached the meat for dog feed." "Is there any other dog feed there? No, sir." "Any people?" "Not a soul. The country is open to the first comers. It's a fine looking country too. We seen quartz indications everywhere. I rechne this spends for itself." There significantly hold up his one example. "We're made our locations. You fellows in welcome to the rest. First come, first person." There was an eager unwelcome for the meetings on the part of these occupants the speaker. After a stumbling blunder there: like that?" One of this workmen answered: "I have." "Where?" "In the Jumbo, at Goldfield. I 'high graded' there in the early days." There was a laugh at this. Thorn fusSED angrily. "Well," he rejoined, "we've got the same formation over there in the White river. It's just like Goldfield. It'll be the same kind of a ramp, too, when the news gets out." O'Nell broke in smoothly to say: "Most of our fellows have no dogs. It will take them three weeks to cover the trail. They'll have to spend three weeks in there, then three weeks more coming out—over two months and gether. They can't haul enough grub to do them." He turned to his employees and said gravely: "You'd better think it over, boys. Those who have haims, can make it, but the rest of you will get left. Do you think the chance is worth all that work and suffering?" The bridge workers shifted uncomfortably on their feet. Then a voice exclaimed: "Don't worry, boss. We'll make it somehow." "Thorn says there's no molley over there," Murray continued. "But that seems strange, for I happen to know of half a dozen outfits at the head of the White river. Jack Dalton has had a gang working there for four years." Dalton was a famous character in the north, one of the most intrigued of the early pioneers, and the mention of his name brought a hush. A large part of the audience realized the truth of XNX's claim to the land, having it thrust upon them. Thorn and Baker were scowling. Gray had just entered the room and was signaling to his chief, and O'Nell realized that he must score a trumpet quickly if he wished to hold the attention of his men. He resumed gravely: "If this strike was genuine I wouldn't argue, but it isn't." A conclusion of started protests rose; the two miners burst out indiscriminately. But O'Neill rubbing his voice for the first time, managed to make himself heard. "These jewelry samples came from Newark." he hollied. "I recognized their myelf this afternoon, and here's an other fellow who can't be fooled. Them told you he used to work in Goldfield. You can draw your own conclusions." The temper of the crowd changed instantly. Joers, groans, hisses above. The men were on their feet now and growing nobler every moment. Robert and Thorn were glaring belatedly at their newswire. But Gray succeeded in shouldering his way forward and whispered to O'Neill, who turned suddenly and faced the men again. "Just a minute!" he shouted. "You heard Thorn say he and Baker went prospecting in August. Well, we've just had Cortez on the cable and heard that they were working for Gordon until two weeks ago." A sudden shout fell. Murray dawned down at the two strangers. "What do you say to that?" Thorn drew into a purple range. "It's a mean he! He's afraid you'll quit work. Follows." Viciously he thummed himself toward the door, only to fey the grasp of the muscular physique upon his arm. "Listen to this life-save from the cystatcher of the Cortex Home land." Below Gray, his big voice dominating the upper arm, unblistered by his prisoner's strangles, he read loudly: Joe Thorn and Henry. A quick grit went through his trail, with the claws on his arm and white manacles, thick claws beaten. Thorn medium size, thirty-five, of hair. Baker dark, scar on check. WILSON. The doctor's feature spread into a broad gill. "You've seen the dream, and here's the hair." His fingers sunk into his prisoner's fiery locks with a grip that threatened to leave him a soup for a trophy. Their cursed and twisted. The crowd's allegiance had been quick to shift, but it covered back to O'Nell with equal sadness. "Bunker" pulled a house voice, after a brief hush. "Lynch 'em!" cried another, and the angry clamor burst forth with fire. "Don't be foolish" shouted Murray "notoohly has been hurt." "We'd have been on the train to morrow. Send 'em down the river barefoot." "Yes! What about that gang from Omar?" "I'm afraid they'll have to to care of themselves." O'Neil said. "But A crowd of people raising their hands in a demonstration. The Answer Received From a Hundred Threats. these two men aren't altogether to blame; they're acting under orders. But that right? He asked Them. The minister hesitated, until the grip in his hair tightened; then, ordinarily fearing the chance in the face of our enemy, he decided to make precautions in a complete confession. "Yes!" he agreed adieuily, "Gordon cooked it up. It's all a fake." "O'Nell nodded with satisfaction. 'This is the second time he's tried to get my men away from me.'" "You fellows don't seem able to protect yourself, so Doc and I will have to do it for you. Now listen," he continued more gravely. "I meant it when I said I'd open the commissary and help you out if the strike were genuine, but, nevertheless, I want you to know just what it would have meant to me. I haven't enough money to complete the S. R. and N., and I can't raise enough, but I have signed an option to sell the road if the bridge is built by next spring. It greatly a two years' job, and some engineers don't believe it can be built at all, but I know it can if you help. If we fall it ruined, if we succeed"—he waved his hands and smiled at them cheerfully—"maybe we'll build another railroad somewhere. That's what this stampede meant. Now, will you stick to me?" The answer reared from a hundred throats: "Wick it well we'll stick" When general good feeling was restored Murray attempted to make his way out, but his men seemed determined to thank him one by one, and he was delayed through a long process of handshaking. It pleased him to see that they understood from what hard ships and disappointments he had saved them, and he was doubly grateful when Watch rounded up his crew and announced that the slight shift would resume work at midnight. He escaped at first, leaving the most grouped contentedly about huge portions of smoking doughnuts and pots of coffee, which the cook boys had brought in. Liquor was taken in the camp, but he gave orders that unofficial alarms be distributed. The news of the White River river reached Carrts Gorion in Seattle whither he had gone in a final attempt to bolster up the tattering fortunes of the Cortez Home railway. His despair pointment was taken yet OXell from the beginning had not his attack so failure such uniform success that now failure did not really surprise him. It had been a forbidden hat at best. Strangely enough, he had begun to lose something of his insurance of late. Although he maintained his outward up appearance of confidence with all his old skill, which itself he felt a growing uneasiness, a limiting doubt of liabilities. Outwardly there was reason enough for discouragement, for while his cooperative entreat scheme had begun helplessly, its initial success had not been sustained. As time passed and Eliza Appleton's exposure remained unreaffirmed he had found it ever more difficult to elicit support. His own doubts and explanation seemed powefect to affect the public mind, and as he looked he dated his decline from the appearance of her first article. If he had done the mischief he had to reel. Not anyy more his old style was disillusioned, but wherever he went for old to be found a disconnecting back of response to a high velled sleepout that was misleading. Yet his himself borne little worries were not all at the worst of his troubles. His plea of power were waiting. To all apprehensions he was as strong as ever, but a challenge badly insurmountable last. He tried easily, and insisted that he handle up he was forced to struggle continually. He had never tightly valued his imagination equipment of energy until now, when some subtle alienation had begun to seize. The challenge was less in his muscular strength than in his nerves and his menstrual vigor. He found himself growing particularly irritable. His failures excited glasses of blind fury which left him weak and spent. He began to suffer the depressing tortures of insomnia. At times the nerves in his face and neck twisted unaccountably, and this distressing affection spread. A week or two of disappointments should have show him the futility of further efforts, at any other time it would have set him to putting his house in order to the final crash, but now it merely crushed him. He doubled his activity, something a new campaign of publicity so extravagant and ill timed to meet the assistance he needed. He had lost his finesse, his nicely adjusted financial sense and Circulars, Billheads ALL KINDS OF PRINTING CUT TO ANY SIZE A man working in a printing press. The outcome was not long delayed; it came in the form of a newspaper dispatch to the effect that his Cortez bank and suspended payment because of a run started by the disaffection employees of the railroad. Through Gordon's damboyant advertising his enterprise, were so well known by this time that the story was featured despite his forts to kill it. His frantle cables to Cortez for a dental only brought as surrections that the report was true and that conditions would not need unless a shipment of currency was immediately forthcoming. Harassed by reporters, driven on by the need for a show of action, he set out to raise the money, but the support he had hoped for failed him when it transpired that his bank's assets consisted mainly of real estate at boon prices and stock in his various companies which had been infiltrated to the bursting point. Days passed, a week or more; then he was compelled to reflinch his option on the stewardship line he had partly purchased and to sacrifice all that had been held in on the enterprise. This, too, made a big story for the newspapers, for it pumured one of the most imposing corporations in the famous "Gordon system." It likewise threatened to involve the others in the general crash Hope Consolidated, indeed, kills remained, and Gordon's declaration that the value of his state was more than sufficient to protect his business not with some evidence units, swiftly with the laws of the other states, cannot application for a stock in the holdings, coupled with it, presses him in a religious institution, has his victims financially damaged. The out last Gordon consolidated debt. Rewildered as he was, he felt carried with anxiety.

(TO BE CONINUED.) LORD KITCHENER British War Minister Drowne When Warship Sinks. WAS ON MISSION TO RUSSIA Submarine or Mine. Admiral Bell, commander of the British navy, has reported to the admiralty in London that the British cruiser Hampster, with Earl Kitchener, so far of state it was an盟军 sign as a ship, was shown up by a mine or a tilt off the west coast of the orkney Islands, and that all on board perished. Four boats were seen to leave the Hampster, but a heavy sea was running. Only a captured boat and some bodies were found. Earl Kitchener was going to Russia at the request of the Russian government. He intended to land at Archeangel and visit Petrograd, and probably go to the Russian front. His mission had chiefly to do with the supply of munitions for Russia. The earl expected to be back in London for the reopening of paraphrase. June 20. An official statement says Earl Kitchener was to have discussed important military and financial questions with Emperor Nicholas. Accompanying Earl Kitchener as his staff, were Hugh James O'Flehrme, former councillor of the British embassy, for Petrugh, and former minister at Soda, O. A. Fitzgerald, Earl Kitchener's private military secretary, Ittigier General Ehrschaw and Sir Frederick Dohson, Sir William Robertson, chief of the imperial staff, is in London. On board the Hampshire were also a number of minor army officers, and the cruiser carried a crew of between 400 and 500 men. Among the officers lost were Lieutenant R. D. MacPherson, F. R. Robertson and MacLaughlin, a detective. Admiral Bellicoe's report to the admiralty follows: "I have to report with deep regret that his majesty's ship Hampshire, Captain Herbert J. Savill, R. N., with Lord Kitchener and his staff on board, was sunk to the west of the Orkneys, either by a indine or a torpedo. "Four boats were seen by observers on shore to leave the ship. The wind was north northwest and heavy seas were running. Patrol vessels and destroyers at once proceeded to the spot and a party was sent along the coast to search, but only some bottles and a caped boat have been found up to the present. "As the whole shore has been searched from the seaward I greatly fear that there is little hope of there being any survivors. "No report has yet been received from the search party on shore. PAGE THREE way to Russia." Naval officers express the opinion that the Hampshire must have struck a mike, as it would be an exceedingly lucky shot for a torpedo to get a ship with her speed (33 knots) in a rough sea. When the news of the Hampshire was received, a meeting of the war council was immediately called. As soon as the news of Kitchener's death was circulated in special newspapers, crowds gathered toward Whitehall. That thorughfare and, its extension, parliament, were filled with persons awaiting the latest news, and hoping the first reports were exaggerated. They found no comfort. In Fleet street boys ran from newspaper offices with the extra editions, loudly shouting the news. The newspapers were almost torn from their hands by surging crowds, and the incredulous wonder with which the first report was received changed to conservation when it became known that it was no rumor, but an official report which left no doubt as to the misfortune which had beaten the country.

Thanks to the far-reaching wisdom of the delegates in the National Republican Convention, you will not be asked to vote for any of them. CANDIDATE CHARLES EVANS. He is most assuredly entitled to your ungrudging support. --- EX-PRESIDENT THOMAS ROOSEVELT seems to have had bad luck in "electing" candidates to the Presidency of the United States. He "elected" How. WILLIAM HOWARD TAYF and he declared him to be a "bad egg." He "elected" How. WOMOW WILLOW to the same position and he has declared him to be awful. He attempted at Chicago last week, to name another candidate for the presidency, and in the light of most experiences, neither the Na- tional Progressive Convention nor the National Republican Convention would accept his suggestions. Who could blame them? He has been as fortunate in naming men for that high office as PRESIDENT WILSON has been in selecting the members of his cabinet: --- The announcement has been made that Hon. CHARLES EVANS HUGHES, the Republican nominee for President, has chosen as his adviser. - Hon. George W. WICKMAN. He certainly made no mistake in doing this. This distinguished New Yorker was Attorney General in PRESIDENT TAPT'S subnet, and is one of the noblest lawyers in the country. He is all right, too, in the advocacy of right principles and it is safe to say that every citizen, in the United States will be accorded all of his rights and privileges. If this distinguished attorney has any "say-so" in the matter. We cannot see that there is any reason for a division of opinion among the colored voters of the United States "this trip."

He has been able to keep the gaddled to the discomfiture of his enemies in a manner that has been gratifying to his host of friends in this city. It is utterly impossible to please everybody but a Mayor should endeavor to do his duty fearlessly and to regard with zeal and veneration his oath of office. When elected, he becomes the Mayor or all the people, without regard to race, color or creed. This distinguished Virginian has impressed us as being an individual who means well. He in young and energetic, practically a boy in years, but he is learning all the time. Few cities have placed upon the shoulders of such a citizen the added responsibilities of an already onerous position. If he can handle the additional duties, and be "foot-loose and fancy free" getting a good night's rest and enjoying peaceful slumbers three hundred and sixty-five days in the year, he will be an individual of iron nerve and giant intellect. Here are our best wishes for the success of his administration COL. ROOSEVELT'S BLUNDERS The National Progressive Party under the leadership of Col Tito Rosario, made an effort to stampede the National Republican Convention into permitting the former to name the candidate for President later. It based its action upon the fact that it had polled in round numbers four million votes in the country for President in 1912, and the National Republican Party had polled only three million votes. On the face of these returns, its attitude was well founded. It failed to appreciate and understand the fact that State elections had been held, and that the strength of the Republican Party had been demonstrated and emphasized. On the face of these later return it was shown that the thousands of Progressives, humorously called "bull moosers," had returned to the Republican Party and that the organization no longer represented the great mass of voters that the national returns of four years ago disclosed. The National Republican managers had decided to accept the doctrines and tenets of the National Republican Party and to place a candidate pledged to these principles upon this platform, barring Hon. Timothy Roosver, and by this process to make the existence of the National Progressive organization unnecessary. This plan was carried out to the letter, and in so doing, Ex-President Roosevelt was eliminated as a factor. He and his followers expected to effect a compromise with himself as a candidate. His first blunder was in accepting an invitation to address the National Republican Convention, when no such invitation had ever been extended by the body itself. His second mistake, which might well be termed a blunder in designing Hos. Henry Caugr. Louss. of Massachusetts, as a candidate that he would be willing to support in a joint nomination, when as a matter of fact, the National Republican Convention had not authorized such a designation, and his own: the National Progressive Convention, had not done any such thing either. The latter body tabled the suggestion, while the National Republican Convention took the same action. If the National Republican Convention had accepted the candidacy of How. Titonone Rodwell, that body would virtually have gone out of existence, for the National Progressive Convention would have assumed the name of National Republican Convention and gone on with the work of the progressives, under progressive management. It will be seen, then. that the leaders of the National Republican Convention understood all this and acted accordingly. They "stole air of the Progressive convention thunder," and proceeded to hold the organization of the National Republican Convention. They are now in the saddle, and in order to beat PRESIDENT WILSON, EX-PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT must support the nominee of the National Republican Party or sulk in his tent until the election is over. If he will subordinate his personal feeling and heartily support the ticket nominated by the Republicans at Chicago, he will rehabilitate himself in favor and be a powerful factor at the meeting of the next national convention of that party. TRIUMPHANT IN DEFEAT. We cannot see what more Cor Tintorius: Roosevelt wants in the light of his past achievements. He was shamefully treated by the National Republican Convention in 1912. In order to get even, he organized the National Progressive Convention, ran upon a ticket named by that independent party, defeated the candidates of the National Republican Party and "rubbed it in" to speak, by polling more votes than the regular organization. He framed a radical platform, and this year, by calling his national convention at the same time and in the same city as the one in which the National Republican Convention was held, scared the leaders of that body out of their wits, so to speak, and succeeded in having a Progressive platform adopted in a National Republican Convention. He even went so far as to make useless the candidate of the "old Ine" Republicans and forced them to name as a candidate for the presidency a distinguished scholar and statesman that the bosses did not want. It was not that they hated him less, but that they hated Rooservell more and in accepting him, they saved the party organization and gave themselves a breathing spell of just four years. They have practically assured themselves of success by the movement. If Col. Rooservell meant what he said in his letter sent to Chicago, his purposes have been accomplished. To have been nominated for the presidency by both of the political parties would have meant a personal triumph, but he would have been the target for every enemy he has in the land. As the matter now stands, the cause which he represents triumphs despite the personal setback that he himself has received. Hon. CHARLTON EVANS Hynes, in his brief message to CHAIRMAN HASTINGS, used language rhetorically chaste and politically blinding. He stands squarely upon the platform of the National Republican Convention as adopted at Chicago, and the National Republican Convention platform as adopted at Chicago is the platform which had its origin in the mind of the distinguished leader at Oyster Bay, New York. Col. Roosevelt says that he is out of politics. He can afford to be in the light of recent events for the cause which he represents is ably championed by the brightest minds in two political parties. Everywhere appears the carmarks of Roosevelt and the principles for which he has so vociferously contended. Selah! ```markdown ``` MAJOR MOTON'S DENTAL --- The New York Age, which at once, was the official mouthpiece of the late Dr. Roosevelt T. Washington, now seems to occupy a similar relationship towards the recently elected head of Tuskegee Institute. In a doubly-leaded editorial announcement, it says: Referring to certain statements attributed to Major R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, concerning the treatment accorded Mr. Moton on a Pullman car in Alabama, The Age is in position to affirm most positively that the Associated Press dispatches have misquoted Major Moton in every particular. Telephone messages and letters from prominent white citizens, both of the South and North, have conveyed sympathy to Major Moton and assured him of their loyal support. We are much pleased to read this announcement. We were unwilling to accept the telegraphic report of the incident in its entirety. We were aware that, although he was then at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, that distinguished leader would necessarily at some time return to his wife. No married man, with even ordinary intelligence, would risk such a meeting if he had been rightly chargeable with having reflected upon his better half in such an emergency. We are informed that Major Morrow was in Richmond for a short time between trains last Sunday, on his way home, where his wife now resides. We feel sure that the meeting was a most happy one after the publication of the denial of the truth of the report as before stated. Let our zealous friends, ourselves included, give as much publicity to this phase of the incident as they did to the other. It would be well for this country to look after these peace movements which have been going on for many years. Just at the time when the greatest work had been done and the Hague was regarded as the Mecca of the peace advocates, the greatest war ever known during the history of mankind has taken place, and the so-called Christian nations are the ones involved. Weapons of destruction, which rival those of the Dark Ages, both in the cruelty of the wounds inflicted and in the devilish ingenuity in destroying human life, have been brought into play and mankind stands agast at the slaughter. Some people may ascribe this condition of affairs, to one thing and some to another, but it looks to the average believer in the Scriptures that it is God's way of ridding a nation. All of these great nations have been taking the lands of the heathen, both in Africa, Asia and the lakes of the sea. In doing this, they have used the latest engines of destruction in fighting these helpless people. Naked savages have been slaughtered with the fire from machine guns. LORD KIRCHENEN made his reputation by slaughtering the brave and heroe inhabitants of the Soudan. This unholy warfare has gone on for years. Even hapless Liberia, with its small native population, has found its territorial lines contracted and it has been unable to defend itself. Their doctrine has been well expressed by Wordsworth: "The good old rule Suffect thine, the simple plan, That they should like, who have the power, And they should keep who can. --- THE NOMINATION AT CHICAGO. --- No conservative citizen will doubt that the National Republican Convention at Chicago last Saturday, in nominating Mr. Justice Charles Evans Hughes as its candidate for the chief office in the nation named the next President of the United States. It was a clear case of the office seeking the man and not the man the office. The reply sent by Mr. Hughes in response to the telegraphic notification of the action of the Convention is a magnificent production and squares from every point with the high opinion held of him by the best thinking people in this country. It shows that he understands the situation, that he is prepared to make the canvass and that he will lead the Republican Party from the lowlands of defeat to the table-lands of a glorious success. For our part, we cannot see that the Republican Party could have done better. Transcendent wisdom was displayed in the selection of the candidate. PRESIDENT WILSON should now be able to see the handwriting on the wall. When the Republicans nominated CHARLES EVANS HISKET, his fate was sealed. Hon. Tilbrooke Roosvelt may make mistakes, but he is no fool. He cannot consistently oppose a man from his own State with the skill and ability of the nominee of the Republican Party. He played at the political game and lost. The Republican bosses desired to beat him, and in nominating CHARLES EVANS HUGHES, they have accomplished the task. It was not what they wanted. They could not have one of their own kind and calibre, but they wanted to be rid of him. They have succeeded in their undertaking and have scored a half-hearted victory. Ex-President Roosevelt cannot consistently oppose Candidate Horton. It is not that he "thates Horton's loss, but Wilson more. If he will subordinate his desires and his prejudices to the general good, he may be the transcendent figure looming up in 1920. The National Republican Convention has done well. It has named the next President of the United States. Selak --- THE BAPTISTS AND THEIR TROUBLES. We do not think that there is any doubt but what the position-taken by Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., and his associates is untenable, so far as it relates to the National Baptist Publishing House. Rev. Dr. Mosa now brings forward the fact that the regular and original 'National Baptist Convention from the Dr. E. P. Jonza' standpoint, filed a supplementary statement denying ownership in the National Baptist Publishing House and forbidding its officers from making any claim in relation to such ownership. Yet the National Baptist Union-Review declared in its own columns that the publishing house was not only the property of the National Baptist Convention, but also belonged to all of the Baptists in this country, not even excluding the Lott Carey Convention and the white Baptists of the country. The best thing to do is to do right. We hope that the distinguished divin. Rev. Dr. Born will see the encumbration of the position he has taken and vest the title in a required national exponent. The National Baptist Convention remained, should compensate the after publisher for his services and take over the plant. This will end the strife. We have always insisted that Du. Boyd could not afford the unfavorable advertising, that he is getting from every hamlet and village. "The game is not worth the candle! On the other hand; the national organization is making a mistake in launching a litigation unless its only purpose is to financially bankrupt and ruin the men who have assumed to make themselves self-parpetuating in office and to defy the membership from which the concern must secure patronage. Evidently, it was intended, by some of them to have the publishing house, sustain the same relationship to the National Baptist Convention as that sustained to the Baptists of the country by the American Baptist Publication Society. When our people learn to "agree to disagree," a brighter day will dawn for the race in this country. As the matter now stands, we are torn with dissension in our organized form of relationship, both in business, society organizations and religious formations. This driving is to individual achievements, which to become all powerful, must take on the form of active organized bodies, pooling their interests and accomplishing great things in the upward trend of the nation. Talk does but little good, though. Our trouble is in the cradle. Babies now, in the making of men and women, are not being trained along proper lines being possessed and permeated by all of the shortcomings and deformities of their parents. We must learn "to rise on our dead selves to higher things." The outlook is distressing. How many times do we feel like excalibration for the race in the language of the Scriptures? "Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat and swallow a camel." We have received from that brilliant writer and journalist, John E. Bruce, a copy of his latest literary production, "The Awakening of Hezekiah Jones." It is true to southern life in the South, and to southern life in the North, too. We have found the novel to be of intense interest, compelling attention after reading the first chapter. It tells of a German and an Irishman demanding political recognition on account of the numerical strength of their support, all of which was far less than that given by this ideal black politician and political leader, Hezekiah Jones, who had hitherto been content with social recognition and words of praise. The German made his demands first and they were granted. The Irishman came next, and his requests were duly honored. This served to awaken Hezekiah Jones. When he spoke logically and effectively, he was offered mental positions, janitorial and street-aweeping jobs for his constituency. He was told, too, that it would not do for him and his people to aspire to public office. To look after the many in mental positions was better than, to look after one in more lucrative employment. Moreover, it was insisted that he had no member of his race qualified to hold a higher office. Jones found a graduate of a northern college, who had lost his job as an instructor and had been forced to resort to mental employment. He offered him to the political bosses and with the offer manifested a disposition to show that he had spoken the first word on the subject. He insisted upon an agreement insuring the appointment of his candidate for the office. The bosses yielded, and Hezekiah Jones, in his demand for one representative office and many mental ones satisfied his followers, who had stood solidly behind him in his conservative demands for political recognition. The work is published by Pitau. H. Brown, Hopkinsonville, Ky. The author can be reached at Yonkers, New York. No book can better serve its purpose in those critical times than the one known as "The Awakening of Hezekiah Jones." By all means, write for the prospectus and get a copy. Lightning Strikes Three.

The pastor, Rev. G. C. Taylor, D. D. prescheduled a very wonderful sermon at eleven o'clock. There was an exercise in the evening for the children. At eight o'clock the Rev. George C. Taylor, D. D. seemed to have loosed himself from things earthly and was apparently carried away by the spirit of his delivery of the gospel message to men, so much so, when the benediction was being announced the congregation was halted to hear the glad news of a young woman who two weeks previous, at the close of the services at the same church, stopped the pastor and asked that the congregation pray for her. Last Sunday night this same faithful-woman was soundly converted to God and His Christ. Let the Lord be praised. Above all else this done, all murder and evil will pass from our land. Capt. H. L.

Brown departed this life June 5, 1916 at the age of 55 years. He was the oldest member of the Washington St. Bapt. Church. He served as deacon of the Baptist Church for 50 or more years and was one of the strongest advocates for Christian integrity. He had a wonderful memory and a strong vitality to the end of his life, being conscious of the approaching end. The result is reasonably concluded by the preparation for his funeral, selecting the minister to preach the sermon and selecting the casket and shroud before his death. He was faithful to the end and folding his arms, he laid down on Jesus' breast to sleep until the waking morning. Colored Man Dies From Effect of Blow on Head With Stone. Lacy Deinis, colored, aged about 65, died early this morning, it is thought, from the effects of a blow on the head, received yesterday afternoon in a difficulty with Lynn Wooten, also colored, and aged 36. Deinis walked about at his usual work yesterday afternoon after being struck, according to Wooten, who gave himself up to officers after he found the other Negro was dead. Wooten was placed in the Roanoke city fall, charged with murder, this morning. He was placed under arrest by Officer Griffin. He does not deny that he struck Deinis with a rock, but said he did so in self-defense. He was seen shortly after noon at the jail by a reporter for The World-News. He talked freely, going into detail in telling about the fight that resulted in the other Negro's death. Wooten said he lived with his family of a wife and two children in the same house with Dennis on the Hollys road, outside the city limits. He says Dennis was married, but that his family did not live with him. Wooten declared he had pleasant business relations with Dennis, having rented home of the latter's farm. Wooten is a painter by trade. HOW FIGHT OCCURRED "I was coming up the hill near the house Dennis and, myself lived in," said Wooten to a World-News reporter, "when he met me, with a single-tree in his hand. This was about 4:30 o'clock. When he gave me, he called out to me, asking me about some wood I had cut on his side of the farm. I told him I had cut no wood on his land. He then told me he did not want me crossing his fields when I went fishing in the creek, and for the not to cross his place any more. Dennis and I had always been good friends, so I did not want to have any trouble with him. I thought he was drinking, and I turned and started away. THREW ROCKS "He followed me, and picked up a rock in addition to the single-tree he had in his hand. I ran from him, and he followed me. He threw the rock at me and I stopped and picked up a rock. We threw rocks at each other, and one rock I threw at him called him. "After that I came to town, because I was afraid of Dennis and I thought he might shoot me. I knew he had shot one colored man. "rWhen night came I went back home. Dennis would not let anybody go in his room, saying he was tired out. This morning I came back to town early and went home, arriving here about nine o'clock. I had not been there but a few minutes when Bedford Lawson came and told me that Dennis was dead. "Come on with me, I" gays to him "I want to go to town and I gave myself up. I would not tell the officers anything because I wanted to get behind the lock-up. I think I THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA was insisted in hitting Dennis." Wooten said there were no witnesses to the fight. He said it occurred some distance from the house and that no one was near. He said he knew he had hurt Dennis, but that the latter walked about after he was hit and "talked to white men." Wooten will probably be given a preliminary hearing before a magistrate of the county in a few days. In the meantime he will be held in the city jail. CORONER'S INQUEST. When conferred with attachos of Sheriff Hatcher's office in Salem stated a coroner's inquest would be held in Roanoke over the body of Dennis at three o'clock. HER LOVE PLATONIC, SAYS MRS. FRAME. Looked On Secretary, Son. With Relatons Proper. Adds the Defendant. LN. Y. Sun June 13, 1916-1 [N. Y. Sun, June 13, 1916. Mrs. Carolino Frame, the wealthy widow and Christian Scientist, who has been sued for $250,000 damages by Mrs. Browale Rathbone Weaverson, Mazdaznist, for alienating the affections of the latter's husband, who was Mrs. Frame's former secretary, took the witness stand in her own defense before Supreme-Court Justice Gavegan and a jury yesterday. She declared that she regarded Frederick Weaverson only as a son. Weaverson also testified that while he looked upon Mrs. Frame somewhat as a mother there had been no improper relations between them, and that he first lost his affection for his wife when she refused to withdraw her suit against Mrs. Frame. Under questioning by her counsel, Aaron P. Jetmore, Mrs. Frame said that she is now 18 years old and that she has a son just a little younger than Weaverson. She was reader in the Fourth Christian Science Church in 1902 or 1903 when she first met Weaverson. "He was my student, and I was much interested in him because he was so much interested in Christian Science. No one else was my student at the time, but a lady was always present when he took his instructions. He was glad to give up his business and go into that work." Asked what duties Weaverson performed when employed by her, the defendant said: "He took care of all my banks, all my letters, and you may say that in a general way he took care of me because I was alone. If I had a satche to carry, he carried it and put me on the train as a son would." Mrs. Frame admitted that when she and Weaverson went to Columbia, S. C. for a trip, where they were joined later by Mrs. Weaverson, they had connecting rooms. Asked concerning a quarrel with Mrs. Weaverson when the latter accused her of having too much friendship for Weaverson, the defendant said: "I did not got on my knees before her and cry, as she said, but I did cry because it was the first time she had ever spoken crossly to me. My feelings were hurt to think of her coming and acting as she did." Mrs. Frame denied the testimony of Catherine Martin, a Negro servant, who said that Mrs. Frame once gave her a man's night shirt to have washed, and that Weaverson had room in her apartment when his wife was away. She admitted that Weaverson had remained in her apartment over night when he was ill, but said that a woman friend was there at the time. "You didn't want Mr. Weaterson did you?" asked Mr. Jetmore. "Did I want him?" asked Mrs. Frame, puzzled. "You didn't want him for a husband, did you?" "No. I wanted him more for a son I had been growing very fond of him because he had added me when I was alone." "Was he faithful?" SAYS WEAVERSON WAS FAITH FUL. "No one could have been more so but I had no other affection for him than that of a mother for her son." "Did he kiss you when he came and when he left?" "Yes, he did. Mrs. Weaverson often insulated on Freda's going around to see me." Weaverson dented that there had been any thing improper between himself and Mrs. Frame. He testified that after he became her business manager he asked for an accounting of her estate from trustees. "I believe I saved that fortune for her and am proud of my achievement," he added.

"The reason I didn't get the piano," he said; "was because the season was well along and I didn't care much for Mrs. Weaverson's music anyway." "I suppose your wife played when you were first married," said Senator J. J. Walker, counsel for Mrs. Weaverson. "You didn't object to her playing then, did you? "She always played more than I wished she had. There were times when I didn't leave the room when she played, but it was only by the exercise of great endurance." "But her music didn't make you forget your marriage vows then." "No, not then or at any other time" Weaverson testified that at the time his wife was conducting the Mazdazan club in West Twelfth Street he was practically without a home and stayed occasionally in Mrs. Frame's apartment. His wife never objected, he said. When asked about the testimony of Joseph Seymour, former handy man on the estate at Greystone, Conn., where Mrs. Frame and the Weaversons lived, that Weaverson used to cook pancakes and other food for Mrs. Frame, the witness said: "I have a little pride in my ability to cook certain things, and among them is pancakes." EXPLAINS CHIEF MEYERS INCIDENT. Concerning the testimony of Chief Moyers, the baseball player and friend of Mrs. Weaverson, to the effect that Weaverson was once unclev when the Indian and his wife were calling on the Weaversons, the witness said: "There was a delicate situation in our family at the time and I thought it could not be exhibited to outsiders." Mrs. Cecile Abernathy Holmes, testifying for Frs. Weaverson, said that she had visited the defendant at her country place near New Cannan Conn., soon after Weaverson became a Christian Scientist. "Mrs. Frame and I had a talk said the witness, "and naturally our talk drifted to Weaverson, whom I had known for nine years. Artist, from her chair and in most dramatized fashion she said to me: 'Frederick Weaverson is the first student in Christian Science I have instructed and God has sent him to me. Therefore I must have him.'" The witness admitted that she had once been secretary to Mrs. Frane and that her services had been dispensed with. In an effort to break down the testimony of Seymour, who said that he made up only one bed when Wewerson and Mrs. Frane were in the house at Greystone together, the defense called William D. McAdams, a farmer, and asked what he knew about Seymour. "I know his reputation is bad, because he stole my son's eggs," retorted the witness. Another witness said that he knew Seymour was a liar. Montgomery Waddell, who succeeded Wewerson as Mrs. Frane's secretary, testified that Mrs. Frane had given him Christmas presents. Mrs. Montgomery Waddell, testifying regarding Mrs. Frane and Wewerson, said: "I observed nothing but the attentions of a dutiful son to his mother and of a tender, loving mother to her son." A book containing the Mardazpan rites was offered in evidence. The testimony of Mrs. Frame will be continued today. Subscribe to the Richmond Planet -Only $1.50 per year in advance. FARMVILLE (VA.) NOTES. Farmville, Va., June 12.—The atmosphere has been infested for many months with political news of this country, as to who would receive the nomination as president at the National Republican Convention. The convention has convened: "Justice Hughes" has been nominated, and the only thing left for the Republicans to do is to go to the polls in November and see to it that Hughes is elected president of these United States of America, and all will be well. Now, other great men are to be nominated and elected next week. Grand Chancellor, ViceGrand Chancellor, Master of Exchequer in the Grand Lodge, K. of P., which will convene in Portsmouth, Va. I know no section of our State where the members of this institution should be more concerned in getting "the right man in the right' place," than those in Southwestern Virginia. The time has come for the constituency to see know and act, and place qualified men at the head of our great institutions. Past failures should suffice in teaching us this lesson. So far as the head of the Virginia Grand Lodge, K. of P., we recognize Col. John Mitchell, Jr., our Moas, and unlike the children of Israel, at one time did not want to follow him, but we are willing to adhere to his leadership and follow where he goes. We will not question his failure to appoint a man as Vice-Grand Chancellor to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the late U. S. G. Patterton. We think he knows beat. However, we will trust his judgment this time, and upon the floor of the Grand Lodge, we hope the right man will be elected. ```markdown ``` LEFSBURG (VA.)

Emperor Hughes of New York is president and Honorary White House of India for his president, the main minister by the Rajput in concession here are granted with approval by party members throughout the country. Each man has held high office as the governor of New York and also presi- dent of the United States, supreme court and the latter as secretary to India and vice president of the United States. The latter held his former high office in the second administration of President Roosevelt, from Bedford to Hart. From the time the first ballot was cast in the Republican convention, and it was seen that Hughes had no votes than any of his rivals' election was fairly predicted. The end of the heated but not unduly prosecuted fight came on the third ballot, when the New York man was chosen by a vote of 81%, 241 being necessary for a choice. Twenty Candidatea Voted For. Twenty Candidates Voted For. He had obtained 2288 votes on the first ballot taken in the election of June 15, on the second ballot taken in the election of July 15, while The Lord Russell, who had been found by the High Court in the strongest effort, was indicted from the town.

The nomination of Justice Hughes by the Republicans came on June 10 after a night of conference and debate and suggested compromise. Just before the naming of Hughes by the Republicans and the nomination of Ro- vevelt by the Progressives the name of Senator Lodge was suggested by Colo- nel Roovevelt as a compromise candidate. but the Republicans were then determined to have Hughes, and the Progressives could see only one candidate, Theodore, Roovevelt, whom they named. In his address as temporary chairman of the convention Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio outlined the Republican public view of the issues and pleaded for healing of the differences which split the party in 1912. He referred to the policy of the present administration as one of "watchful waiting and wabbling warfare." Career of Charles Evans Hughes. Justice Charles Evans Hughes, associate justice of the United States supreme court, nominated by the Republicans for president, was born in Glen Balls, N. Y., April 11, 1902. He first became generally known to the New York public in 1004, when as counsel for the gas investigating committee he wring from officials of the gas and electric light companies a vast amount of information in a short time and surprised the politicians by his ability to grasp details of importance. He later was appointed counsel for the legislative insurance investigating com- mittee and brought about important reforms in the insurance laws and made himself a national figure. He practiced law from 1854, when he was graduated from Columbia Law school. After his graduation from Brown university in 1851 he got an appointment as professor of Greek at Delaware academy.

HUGHES' ACCEPTANCE. In this letter of acceptance Mr. Hughes says: You speak at a time of national eth- gency, that taking more position con- sideration. You value the demand for a dominion, that uniting. American with firm protection upholding policies essential to our peace and security, and to that call in the crisis. I cannot fail to answer, with the judge of all that is in me to the service of our country. There fore I accept the nomination. I stand for the firm and unifying management with all rights of American citizens on land and life. I neither impugn motives nor underestimate difficul- ties. But it is more recklessly true that in our foreign relations we have suffered in calculately from the weak and vacillating course which has been taken in regard to Mexico, a course immeasurably wrong with regard to both our rights and our duties. We interfered with consistency, and were seeking to dictate when we were not concerned we utterly failed to appreciate and discharge our plain duty to our own citizens. Brave words have been stripped of their force by indictment. I desire to see our diplomacy restored to its best standards and to have these advanced, to have no impediments to participation, to have the first salute, to country always at its command here and abroad, in diplomatic intercourse to maintain firmly our rights as neutral and fully performing our international obligations, and by clearly correctness and amnesty and disposition to sustain the dignity of our place among the nations. I stand for Americanism which knows no ulterior purpose, for a patriotism which is single and complete, whether naïve or proud, and which is single and complete. We have but one country, and we do not for an isolated country any division of allegiance. I believe in making prompt provision to assure absolutely our national security. I believe in predefined not only entirely adequate for our defense with respect to numbers and equipment in both army and navy, but with all thoroughness, to the extent possible, in all fields of the world there may be the utmost efficiency under the most competent administrative heads. We are devoted to the ideal of honorable peace. We wish to promote all wise and practicable measures for the just settlement of international disputes. In view of the need for peace and security in military in this country, We have no policy of aggression, no last for territory, no zeal for strife. It is in this spirit that we demand adequate provision for national defense, and we condemn the inexcusable neglect that has been shown in this matter of first national importance. We must have the strength which self-respect and self-esteem require of the scientific nation ready for every emergency. Our preparation must be industrial and economic as well as military. Our strongest test will come after the war is THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND; VIRGINIA THIRD AND FINAL BALLOT FOR PRESIDENT HUGHES .....9491/2 WEEKS ..... 3 ROOSEVELT ..... 181/2 DU PONT ..... 5 LA FOLLETTE ..... 3 LODGE ..... 7 ABSENT ..... 1 I deeply appreciate the responsibility you impose.

We believe that the name of a man must be the name of the truth and of the truth in the demonstration of of such a man as the one who has made the truth good and the truth with the truth in all his life without a threat to the good of lawyer or effectual counsel or to the good of a citizen or a moral state or to a moral burden. He also may not mislead the essential qualities of the great creators of the nation. He must be faithful and good making investment into the management of our great insurance companies, gave the people their first alliance of his high power, courage and faith. When he first came into the government of the Empire State of New York, the people that he was watching, although every other candidate on the Republican ticket went down to defeat. His nomination here will carry with it its absolute certainty of success in New York. Hughce on Preparedness In his preface to this book his soulfulness us in the great question of national preparedness. He said: "We are devoted to the interests of our nation and to the interests of our nation. The mission of our nation is our surest protection. It is our confident aim to live in freedom with all nations and to realize the promise of a free government-free from the interruptions of strife and war. It is entirely consistent with the principles of our defense and to maintain the efficiency of our army and navy. And this I favor." No one can better express the fundamental doctrine which underlies our national defense. His principles are sound. Kofi Annan, of Gaza, and of Dyrell upon his recent career. Of his most recent patriotic services on the most august of the world's tribunals his magnificent utterances from the leach are the best monument. Him the man of action, the champion of the people, the idol of the electorate, the faithful public servant, the profound thinker on national issues. The great state of New York, through the life of its governor, offers to the people and the party, to the voters of the party-no, not only to them, to the great nation-her son, her noblest and her best. I nominate as a Republican candidate for president of the United States Charles Evans hughes Uae Wife an Horac. Mrs. Annie Kyttle, of Sweet Valley near Wilkes-Barre, Pa., was awarded a divorce from her husband, Martin Kyttle, because he had made a draught horse of her and her daughters and compelled them to draw a plow. Testimony before the master showee that Mrs. Kyttle was forced to pull plows and wagons about the farm and that Kyttle looked after all the easy work, such as steering the plow and applying the brakes to the wagons whenever necessary. The wife de clared that she and her daughters were forced to make draught horse of themselves because they feared Kyttle, who prohibited them from going to church or talking to the neigh bors. The couple were married on July 28, 1895. "Waltress, how about a spoon?" "We are not allowed to flirt with the customers." was the digressed reply.—Louisville Courrier Journal. FOUGHT WHOLE GERMAN FLEET British Admiralty Says Four Capita- vessels of Teutons' Navy Were Sunk—Names Are Not Given. The German losses in the North sea battle were greater than the British "not merely relatively to the strength of the two fleets, but absolutely," a statement issued by the British admiralty declares. The admiralty assures that eighteen vessels were lost by the Germans. The statement reiterates that the German accounts of the German losses are false, and that although the evidence is still incomplete, enough is known to justify stating that the German losses were greater than the British. There is the strongest ground for believing, say the statement, that the German losses include two battleships two dreadnoughts at battle cruisers of the most powerful type and two of the latest light cruisers, in addition to one small light cruiser, a submarine and nine destroyer. Admiral Beatty fought the entire German battle fleet with his small iron, exclamation shots at these ranges and only the timing of night and heavy midday at the British battle fleet arrived and the Germans. British naval experts gave this opinion of the battle and praised the daring and wielding strategy of Admiral Beatty in attacking such a powerful enemy. According to the Corpspenger Politiken, the crew of a Dutch scamship arrived Thursday at Fried reichsavenge, which had witnessed a battle in the north sea. The steamship crew report that Wednesday at Stromm, the miles of Hansholm flotten stopped by two British torpedo boats to have its paper examined. At the same moment a large German fleet appeared and the British warships limtedately prepared for action. The German fleet, which are proached at full speed, consisted of five large German dreadnoughts, eight cruisers and twenty torpedo boats and destroyers. Suddenly the Germans began firing and several limited shells spathed around the torpedo boats, without however blitting them. The British ships went westward purged by the German fleet. At five o'clock the cannonade was renewed and continued until nine o'clock in the evening. Two Zeppelins were seen going at full speed northward to the scene of the battle. The National Telephone says that Thursday, on German troops besieged Paris through the Little Bell, from the north, going very slowly. The newspaper adds that a torpedo hit badly damaged, is lyrical of Lyme Bay, near Kinglighthouseford western Denmark, just north of the Horn. SEVEN REBELS SLAIN Dominicans Attack U. S. Marines and Are Repulsed. Rear Admiral Caerton, commanding the American forces in San Domingo, advised the navy department that a rebel force of 200 attacked the marine camp at Monte Christi, Santo Domingo. The rebels were driven off, seven of their number being killed. There were no American casualties. American marines and Haitian gendarmes killed the revolutionary chiefs, Mellegus and Coodle, and nine of their men in a fight near Fondaverretes on Sunday. No mention of American casualties is made in the state department despatch. The outlaws were killed in a desperate effort to escape when cornered, and remnants of the band were being pursued by the marines and gendarmes when the despatch was sent. Arkansas Tornado Kill 80 At least eighty persons lost their lives, 1,000 were injured and property damage to the extent of $1,500,000 resulted from the tornado in Arkansas, according to reports reaching Memphis, Tennessee.

Chief Justice Whitis privately administered the oath of alright pace to the country. None but most born of the court witnessed this part of the ceremony. A GENERAL SURVEY OF THE WAR WEDNESDAY. The Germans in a fierce attack following a two-day's bombardment, have forced the French back-cast of Hill 304, south of Cumflores. The Teutons advanced, a mile below the village Paris-admits, but says they were driven back to the outskirts of Cumflores. A French first line trench was given up, the Paris war office says, because it had been destroyed by the German shell fire. The Austrians have forced the passage of the Posna in Italy, west of Arles, according to Vienna and hold the heights on its south bank. The slinking of two more British vessels is reported at London. THURSDAY. The battle of Verdun shows no sign of slackening in violence, but the latest official reports record no further advances for the Germans. The bitterest fighting has shifted somewhat to the southwest of the front between Cumleges and Dead Man's Hill, west of the Mouse, where the Germans have scored most of their recent gains. The Germans attacked the French position there, but were repulsed, according to a bulletin from Paris. Berlin admitts the French have captured German trenches on a 432 yard front, south east of the "Dead Man." Astago, according to a letter to London, has been evacuated by the Britans, but they still hold the hills to the west and are making a retreat resistance to the Austrians along the whole Artois-Syne line. FRIDAY. The Germans are hurting tremendous missiles of men and metal against the math defense of Verdin, east of the Meuse. They have regained some of the ground lost in the recent French drive in the Donaumeier region and the title of battle cible and flows with terrific violence, both as regards infantry and artillery actions. Paris says enormous losses are being inflicted on the Germans as they advance in waves against the French machine guns. Italian resistance has forced the Austrians attempting to capture Arsene to recross the Pella torrent. Their losses are reported heavy, two generals being among the killed. Petrograd admits that the Russian advance in Asia Minor has been checked, but says the Turkish counter offensive has already spent itself. SATURDAY. British losses in the great naval battle fought Wednesday off the coast of Denmark remain at three battle cruisers, three armored cruisers and eight destroyers. It is estimated 500 of fleets and men were killed. The admitted German loss of the battleship Pommern and two light cruisers has been increased by the evident destruction of the new light cruiser Elbring. At least 17 German destroyers went down. It is believed and the destruction of four like-placed at more than 500. The British actually have two German destroyers and two battle cruisers were sunk, but both have not been ammited to this. Fighting at Verdun in the tense show the battle began. The Germans are pressing the want Vanzy, but the French claim to be killing their own SUNDAY The Brittish's initiality is used a statement saying the naval naval battle in the North Sea was a British victory. It is claimed chiefly on German war ships, including four battleships, were sunk. There is no lot of up in the intensity of the German drive about Verdun which at some points is plunging ground and at other places is held in chief by the French guns. Berlin annotated that the drive be twen Callibelt wood and Dambour northwest of the fortress, is praising favorably for the attacking forces. The capture of over 500 prisoners and four machine guns. The German army headquarters statement says that attempts by the British to regain the ground they recently lost to the Germans near Ypres, on the Flanders front, were fruitless. West of the Meuse a French attack near Hill 504 was repulsed. MONDAY. British officers say two of the large German warships sunk in the fight off the Jutland coast were the dreadnought Hindenburg and the battle cruiser Lutown. A despatch from Copenhagen says the battle cruiser Seyditz also is reported sunk. There is virtually no let-up in the German effort to push back the French lines on the Verdun front northeast of the fortress. After falling in on assault yesterday afternoon north west of Port Vaux, the crown prince's troops returned to the attack, driving against the French between the fort and the village of Damloup, to the southeast. There, as in other efforts, they were unsuccessful, and the French still remain in possession of the fort, Paris declares. The Italian war office announces the repulse of strong Austrian attacks southeast of Aralero. Vienna reports the capture of a town in further advances on the Aralero-Asiago line. Petrograd reports "a great success" for the Russians on their western front, with the capture of 13,000 prisoners. Bank Robber Sentenced Thomas H.

Mrs. Brownie Rathbone' Weaverson, follower of the Mazdaann cult of sun worshippers and known in the inner circles as "Salome" and the "High Priestess of the High Court of Women," told a jury before Supreme Court Justice Gavegan' yesterday how she lost her husband. Frederick Weaverson, when he became a Christian Scientist under the influence of Mrs. Caroline W. Frame, by whom he was employed as secretary and then carried his interest in Mrs. Frame beyond the relationship of a secretary. Mrs. Weaverson, who is 64 years old, is suing Mrs. Frame, aged 73, for alienating the affections of Weaverson who is 56. She wants $250,000 of the $200,000 estate left to Mrs. Frume by her grandfather, a former Mayor of New York, and her husband, who died in 1902. One of the chief defences is that Weaverson had no affection for his wife because of her insistence in worshipping at the Mazdaznan shrine and giving financial support to one Ottoman Zar-Adusht Hanish, high priest of the cult, who got into trouble in Chicago through advocating his helfes. Mrs. Frame and Weaverson contend that there was no undue intimacy between them and that while Mrs. Frame was generous with her secretary his wife benefited by her kindness. Mrs. Weaverson doesn't think it was necessary for Mrs. Frame to call Weaverson "My darling Fritzale" and "My great big darling man." MAZDAZNANS IN COURT. A group of Maxizhanan believers were in court yesterday to lend moral support to Mrs. Weaverson's cause, and several friends who don't accept her beliefs were there with her. One of them was Chief Meyers, the former Gintat catcher, now with the Brooklyn team, who took advantage of the rainy day to act as Mrs. Weaverson's bodyguard for the day. Under examination by her attorney, State Senator James J. Walker, Mrs. Weaverson testified that Weaverson, who is her second husband, was a newspaper reporter when she met him and that she first saw him when he came to report a runaway accident in which her husband was killed. She had $3,000 when she was married to Weaverson, but it didn't last long. Mrs. Weaverson testified that she and her husband lived happily together and he was always attentive to her until he met Mrs. Frame and became a Scientist. Then he got to start away nights, and on several occasions when he didn't come home at all, Mrs. Frame came to her home the next morning and said that her husband was ill in the Frame apartment. She said he would return the next day. "He didn't look well," she said. "I didn't ask for any explanation then because I loved him and believed everything he told me." Mrs. Weaverson said that when she lost her husband's affections she were unusually lonely because she didn't have a relative that she knew of. The last time she heard of any of her relatives was thirty-four years ago, when she saw her brother. Because of her lack of friends and relatives she became a frequent visitor at the home of Mrs. Frame after her husband got employment with the wealthy widow. AN UNEXPECTED CALL She told of being entertained at Mrs. Frame's country place at Shipping Point, Conn., in the summer of 1908. On that visit her husband and Mrs. Frame were accustomed to talk together and when Mrs. Frame once marked on the fact Mrs. Wewerson said, "He is my husband." She said Mrs. Frame replied, "That's just where the rub comes in." The platinum tiff didn't stay more than a day after that, she said. Asked concerning a visit at Mrs. Frame's house in St. Nicholas avenue Manhattan, Mrs. Wewerson said: "I went taere unexpectedly one day and saw them in the den together. I saw them both lying on a sofa. The sight embarrassed me very much." Mrs. Weaveron said her husband was earning $60 a week when Mrs. Frame began to take an interest in him. "He told me that Mrs. Frame gave him a hump sum when he embraced Christian Science at her request, and that on her offer to pay his debts of $2,000 if he would give up his business and enter her employ, he accepted the offer, and his debts were paid," said the plaintiff. "My husband told me in the winter of 1909 that he and Mrs. Frame were going. South together and that I wasn't to go along. I objected to his going with Mrs. Frame, and furthermore, I didn't want to be left alone, but my husband told me I would interfere with his business. He then took me in his arms and kissed me, and said, 'I don't want to hurt you Brownie.'" Mrs. Weaverson said her husband and Mrs. Frame went to Columbia, S. C., and that after they had been there a week or so they wired her to come. She didn't respond, and they sent two more messages, and on receiving the third she joined them. She said her husband and Mrs. Frame occupied connecting rooms in the Columbia Hotel. ACCTUSED MRS. FRAME. The plaintif testified that once when the three were out walking together her husband said to her anguely: "You and all hell can't keep me from practising Christian science." Mrs. Waveron testified she then said to Mrs. Frane, "You have vampired my husband. You have showed him with gutosobion, money and jewels and gratified his every wish."

Y. was your husband at home any more before you went away?" she was asked. "Me, he told me in the South that when we returned I would have to do as he wished. When we got here he asked my forgiveness, but started to have me twice. He put his arms around me and said he would stay by me." Mrs. Weaverson said that in the following summer her husband rented a cottage at Phoenicia, in the Catskill, and Mrs. Frame leased one a few yards away. They had an automobile there which Weaverson told his wife Mrs. Frame had given him. Weaverson and Mrs. Frame used to walk down to the village together every night, the plaintiff said. "When my husband was at home he was always affectionate, but he didn't stay long," said Mrs. Weaver-son. "He beginn to act funny two days before he left me. He was not congenial as he had been. I then knelt on the floor and recited the Lord's Prayer and the Twenty-third Psalm and told him my heart was crushed. My husband then embraced me and said, 'Brownie, I love you with all my heart. You know I always did love you.' I said, 'Fred, I trust you as I always have.' He replied, I have been a victim of mental malpractice. I love you and will stand by you as long as you live." Mrs. Weaverson said that at about this time she suffered injuries in an automobile accident from which she never fully recovered. "My husband became attentive again and very affectedate," Mrs. Weaverson said. "He told me he didn't know how precious I was to him until he thought he was going to lose me. Mrs. Frame came and cried. She said she wanted to be his mother. I understood exactly what she meant better than she did. My husband cared for me like a mother for weeks. He brought me flowers and gave me every attention." WOULDN'T GET A PLANO. Mrs. Weenerson said she felt hurt when her husband wouldn't get her a piano because Mrs. Frame objected. She said she heard Mrs. Frame say to a Mrs. Carter, a mutual friend. "If Fred didn't have Brownie we could live all over together." She said that when they went to Phenomena her husband told her he would build a home for her there and would make her happy. He said he wouldn't take any more auto rides with Mrs. Frame. That fall Mrs. Frame said, "I am going to take Fritzie to Boston with me for two weeks, and I don't care what anybody thinks about it." When asked if she didn't object the plaintiff said: "Mrs. Frame said it in such an imperative way that I thought there wasn't anything more to say. After my husband got back he wasn't nice to me at first, and then he got nicer." Soon afterward Mrs. Frame gave Weaverson a thirty-five acre estate at Graystone, N. Y., and his wife noticed that he was growing colder toward her. When he went through her room at night he didn't kiss her as he had done before. "When my husband came to me and said that he and Mrs. Frame were going to Canada together," testified Mrs. Weaverson. "I said, 'Don't you know that Caroline Frame has a personal love for you?' He replied, 'Yes I do, and I am trying to help her.' 'Didn't her Christian Science help her?' asked counsel. "It didn't seem to," replied Mrs. Weaverson. The plaintiff said she was deeply hurt when she arranged a dinner in honor of her husband's birthday and expected him at home to share it with her. He didn't come until 4 P. M. and told her he had dinner at Mrs. Frame's. "Not long after that he told me I could never live with him again. He said I wasn't a scientist, and that we weren't harmonious because our ideas were not the same. Mrs. Frame said she was going to give up my husband because people would think she had separated us. ASKED ABOUT CULT NAMES "Finally my husband asked me what I was hunging around the house for and said I would have to go away or he'd go. We were then living in the Paterno apartments, and Mrs. Frame had the floor below us. My husband then went downstairs to Mrs. Frame's apartment and never had a meal with me again. He told me later that I would have to go away because I couldn't live there Mrs. Frame came and asked me when I was going to leave. She said she thought my health would be better if I would go. She thought I could never patch things up with my husband unless I went away." When, cross-examined by Aaron P J Petmore, counsel for Mrs. Frume, the plaintiff said she was married under the name of Brownie Rathbone, but when hasked if it wasn't under the name of Lizzie Pease, she said it was I used the name Elizabeth Rathbone Pease, but I was never christened because my parents couldn't agree on a name." Mrs. Weaverson said. "Weren't you known in Madamene circle as Salesman?" "That was a joke." "Weren't you known as the 'High Priestess of the, High Court of Women.'" "Yes, but that was only a family affair." "Weren't you also known as the 'Little Mother?'" "Not 'the Little Mother' — just 'Mother.'" "Didn't you know Hanish as 'The Little Master?'" "Not officially. I called him the 'Master' sometimes because he was the teacher." Mrs. Wesyerson denied that she sent money her husband gave her to Hanish. She admitted that she established an "Ottoman Club" in New York and said she, told her husband if he went there she couldn't give another lesson. "Didn't you have some trouble in Chicago in 1912?" "My husband had some relations with a woman, but that was all settled. I forgive him. It was only a passing fancy." "Didn't you have so much trouble you said you were going to jump into the river?" "No." When asked if she had ever been convicted of a criminal act Mrs. Weaverson said she was fined in New York for giving medical treatment to a man who later had to have both legs cut off. The case will go on today.—N. Y. Sun, June 9, 1916. The Russians continue to develop the succession won by their newly inaugurated offensive. It is reported that up to the present time they have captured 450 officers 25,000 men, seventeen cannon and fifteen machine guns. It is estimated that the Russians, in their new offensive campaign, on the southwestern battle front, are oppressed by forces numbering between 60,000 and 80,000. The line between the Pript marches and the Rumanian border is more than 250 miles in length. The line in question prior to the withdrawal of Austrian troops for the Italian front, was formerly held by about 60,000 men, according to the best available information. The despatches from Vienna report, that a violent battle has been raiding during the last twenty-four hours on the Russian front along a sweep of two miles. The correspondents describe the countless waves of Russian infantry being sent into the battle. General Prussielf, who is believed to be in command of the Russian forces in this front, seems, according to the articles, to be following the tactics pursued by the Russians in the Carpathians, making attacks in mass in an effort to break through the hostile line.

The Republican party believes that a firm, consistent and courageous foreign policy, always maintained by Republican presidents in accordance with American traditions is the best, as it is the only true way to preserve our peace and security with the nations. We believe in the pacific settlement of international disputes and favor the establishment of a world court for that purpose. Mexico.

Protection of the Country. In order to maintain our peace and make certain the security of our people within our own borders, the country must have not only adequate, but thorough and complete national defense, ready for any emergency. We must have a sufficient and effective regular army and a provision for ample reserves, already drilled and disciplined, who can be called at once to the colors when danger comes. We must have a navy so strong and so well proportioned and equipped, so thoroughly ready and prepared that no enemy can gain command of the sea and effect a landing in force on either our western or our eastern coast. To secure these resources, we must have a continuous policy of national defense, even in these perilous days the democrat- party has utterly failed to develop, but which we promise to give to the country. Teriff. The Republican party stands now, as always, in the fullest sense for the policy of tariff protection to American industries and American labor and does not regard an anti-dumping provision as an adequate substitute. Such protection should be reasonable, but sufficient to protect adequately American industries and American labor and be so adjusted as to prevent undue exactions by monopolies or trust. It should, moreover, give special attention to securing the industrial independence of the United States, as in the case of syruffault. Through use of tariff and industrial legislation, industries can be organized that they will become not only a commercial bulwark, but a powerful aid to national defense. The Underwood tariff act is a complete picture in every respect. Under its administration imports have enormously increased in spite of the fact that the interest groups with foreign countries has been firmly cut off by reason of the war, while the revenues, of which we stand in spite of, have been greatly reduced. For the normal conditions which prevail to the war, it was clearly demonstrated that this act imposed the American producer and the American consumer. UMBRELLA COUPON GOOD FOR 5 CENTS The Planet, 311 N. 4th St. tanner of that protection which entailed them to meet their foreign competitors and, but for the adventious conditions created by the war, would long since have paralyzed all forms of American industry and depleted American labor of its just purpose. It has not in the least reduced the cost of living, which has constantly advanced from the date of its enactment. The welfare of our people demands its repudiation and the substitution of a measure which, in the absence of such a measure, would please revenue and give reasonable protection to all forms of American production in mine, forest, field and factory. We favor the creation of a tariff commission, with complete power to gather and compile information for the use of cross in all matters relating to the tariff. The Republican party has long believed in the right to liberty and strict regulation of transportation and great corporations of the country. It has put its creed into its deeds, and all really effective government officials should be private owners of great businesses and the work of Republican congresses and presidents. For this policy of regulation and supervision the democratate, in a stumbling and perverse way, are undergoing to involve the government in business which should be left within the sphere of private enterprise. A policy which is sure to result in white, great expense to the taxpayer and to an inferior product. The Republican party firmly believes that all who violate the laws in regulation of commerce should be individually prosecuted, from perception and business success, no matter how honestly attained, is apparently recorded by the Democratic party as in itself a crime. Such doctrines and beliefs choke enterprise and stale property. The Republican party believes that American business as it believes in and will seek to advance all American interests. We favor an effective system of rural credits as opposed to the ineffective law proposed by the present Democratic administration Rural Free Delivery. We favor the extension of the rural free delivery system and condemn the Democratic administration for curtailing it Merchant Marine. In view of the guidelines adopted by all the maritime nations to encourage their shipping interests, and in order to enable us to compete with them for the ocean carrying trade, we favor the payment to ships engaged in the foreign trade of liberal compensation for services actually rendered in carrying the mails and such further legislation as will build up an adhere to the marine and give us ships which may be requisitioned by the government in time of national emergency. We are utterly opposed to the government ownership of vessels as proposed by the Democratic party because government ownership while effectively preventing the development of new ports will chant marine by private capital, will be entirely unable to provide for the vast volume of American freights and will leave us more helpless than ever in the hard grip of foreign syndicates. Transportation. Interstate and intrastate transportation has become so intertwined that the attempt to apply two and often several sets of laws to its regulation has produced an authority, embarrassment in operation and inconvenience, expense to the public. Business Rural Credits Rural Free Delivery Merchant Marine Transportation: The entire transportation system of the country has become essentially national. We therefore, favor such action by legislators as we have seen as an amendment to the constitution of the United States as will result in placing it under exclusive federal control. Economy and a National Budget Conservation We believe in the useful burdens of all the faithful servants of the nation, burdens which we have developed without waste or without abuse.

Measurement of the attribution base is obtained real-time of the event in which that dutive are to be performed. Labor Law We place the legal party to the faithful enforcement of all federal laws passed for the protection of labor. We work with the federal government and their enforcement of a federal labor law, the treatment of a government and comprehensive workman's compensation law, within the commerce power of congress, and an incident compensation covering all government employees. We work under the direction of the department of labor of complete data relating to industrial hazards for the information of congress to the end that such legislation may be adopted as may be calculated to secure labor from the dangers incident to industry and transportation. Suffrage The Republican party, reaffirming its faith of government of the people, for the people, for the people, as a measure of justice to oneself the adult people of this country, favors the extension of the suffrage to women, but recounts the fact that each state to settle this question for itself. Such are our principles, such are our purposes and policies. We close as we began. The times are dangerous and the future is fraught with peril. We appeal to all Americans, whether naturalized or native to prove to the world that we are Americans in thought and in deal, with one loyalty, one hope, one assurance, one obligation, one americana to be trust to the spirit of America, great traditions of their common country, and above all things to keep the faith.

The Reconciling Sibes is well known here in Birmingham, June 12, and past, joined with the Petersburg Armory to the time of 12 to 1. The remarkable part about the Sibes is they have yet to feel the sting of defeat. Winner than others in practice, no small "skimble" More yet not one team whom have served at the hands have been able to make the Sibes extend themselves. The team is the best ever represented in Richmond—a perfect working machine. Their attack is concentrated to a man, and their defense is superb. We long to see an appreciation that measure arms in all departments of the game, give battle to this seemingly invisible crew. It will be a real treat to the lovers of the game. Captain Grant is a first stealer of the game hard to be acquired. Manager Mayo Stevens, the old reliable promoter, is in his glory when his team is manning the blue blazes out of their opponents and carrying away the spoils. He is a student of ball players, and know the methods to pursue to get the best results out of them. If you claim to have a ball team, write the manager and he will arrange to teach you a few lessons of tautology in your own home town or at home in their own "back yard"—Broad Street Park.

In case you should lag on to be caught in a falling elevator, bend your knees. The other day an elevator in a sixteen story building became disabled and fell from the seventh floor to the basement. There were seven passengers in the car. Alive to the danger, the car operators shouted: "The car is going to fall. Turn your backs to the door and bend your knees!" Six of the seven passengers obeyed and escaped injury, although the car landed with a crash that sounded all through the building. The seventh rider failed to obey the order and suffered fractures of the right thigh bone and of the right knee and lacerations, because he was facing the door and the broken glass showered upon him when the car struck. Lynchburg, Va., June 11.—Only Sunday School and prayer meeting was observed at the Pleasant Valley Baptist Church. Superintendent Deacon Chas. E. Wheeler had charge.

Miss Johnson read the 46th Psalm, and Miss Megginson sang "My Faith Looks Up To Thee." Prayer by Rev. Chas. Chappelle. Deacon Wheeler made a strong appeal to the people to subscribe to, and read their own newspaper, which was very forcefully followed up by Deacon John Hummer. Mrs. Burrell Otey, who has been very ill for about six weeks, is able to be up again, and enable her sister, Miss Ethel Megginson, to return home.

Preston, pastor. The committee had spared no pain in making it one of the grandest they have ever had. Preceding the program, a very fine address was given by Rev. Carroll (white) pastor of Tyronna M. E. Church. Among the many helpful things he said was the unity that should exist between the two races, and that while there was a difference in the color of the skin, our souls were alike, and we are one people before God. The program, which was a most pleasing one, was rendered by Miss Ardeila Jones, consisting of recitations, dialogues, solos and quartets. A very pleasing solo was sung by Rev. S. H. Preston, and Jubilee Quartette was sung by Miss Marion Hudson, and others. Miss Vergle Robinson accompanied on the organ. On Sunday, June 18, Rev. J. D.
