Richmond Planet

--- VOLUME XXXIII, NO. 47. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1916 PRICE, DR. MOSES REPLIES TO DR. BOYD "DON'T TRY TO BLUFF, FACT THE ISSUE, DR. BOYD." The sanity of W. H. Moses is not the issue before the denomination. W. H. Moses fleeing R. H. Boyd is not the issue before the denomination. You and your board are charged with betraying the trust of the National Baptist Convention, which employed you to operate its publishing plant, and you must answer in the courts of Tennessee and before the bar of public opinion and before the bar of God. I have been charitable enough to tell the people that it is due to your incompetence rather than to rascality, you have failed to accumulate anything for the National Baptist Convention which employed you twenty years, and you cannot deny it; your report shows it. I have been charitable enough to say you have not stolen it for yourself and family; that you have nothing worth talking about. I believe you have too much sense to bring suit against John Mitchell, Jr., or anyone else, to prove to the people that you took the publishing plant or that you have gotten rich at the expense of the denomination. Your threat to sue is a stupid bluff. As a public servant, you must face public criticism of your ability and record. When you show that I have mis-stated the facts, I will publicly apologize, without you having to resort to the courts to make me do it. We have got your range now and we purpose to keep up a steady fire of merciless exposure, regardless to how you may squelch and threaten and attempt to belittle and discredit the mental soundness and financial standing of your critics, until the denomination gets its publishing plant under its own control, or reestablishes another which it can control. (By W. H. Moos, D. D.) Zion Baptist Church, 13th Street Below Melon, Philadelphia, PA. (1) In the last issue of "The Planet" Dr. R. H. Boyd sets forth his objections to the article in which I stated that he "handled millions of the demonstration's money without accumulating a penny's worth of property for the denomination; that he bought the publishing plant nearly twenty years ago for ten thousand dollars; that it is still mortgaged and that he states that he still owes thirty thousand dollars, and he threatens to bring auction or resort to violence if the papers of the country continue to criticize his record and ability, as the above article did; coming from "Dr. Moses, against whom he has not the least animosity" and "cannot afford to criticise, as he is in no way responsible; being urged on by persons taking advantage of his unbalanced mind." "I know that this unfortunate brother is laboring under a brain storm." "Had I known Brother Moses or had I the least suspicion that he was getting off his mind, I would not have committed the crime I did, in allowing him to get several hundred dollars in my debt, but felt that he really needed help; hence went to the deep expense of printing his book for him, allowing him to advance his note for the same. When we began to urge him for the payment, of course, in his condition, he felt we were his worst enemies. You know all persons in that condition will naturally feel that even their mothers and fathers are their enemies," etc. Now, Dr. Boyd unisonificantly pays me a very splendid compliment by calling me crazy. (1) It is a tacit admission that I am conscientious in the position I have taken against him and his attempt to take the publishing board. (a) He believes that the denomination believes, that I believe that I am acting in all good conscience toward God and man in this controversy. He knows the denomination knows that I am no time-serving hypocrite. He knows that the denomination knows that I led his light until he refused any convention control over his board, and that when I left his people began to question his position and forseke his following. personally fond of him, and that I have always romped and played with him like a child; that I have loved his wife as I would my mother; she is still one of the dearest women in all the world to me, and that in all this controversy I have written the boys personally in the friendliest kind of manner, and that as late as the month of August, I wrote the family that "Julia," the children and I, would stop by and spend some time with "mother Boyd," and the reason I did not stop by was because I did not hear from Blain Boyd until after we reached Philadelphia. (b) Dr. Boyd knows that I ate in his house and slept in his bed, and argued with him day and night for nearly a week before I exposed that "Exhibit C." forgery which wrecked Jones' Convention. He knows that I preached at the churches of all factions and tried to get them to allow all the people of the National Baptist Convention to have their publishing plant. He knows that I wrote his (Continued on 4th Page.) REV. J. R. COOPER INSTALLED Danville, Va., Oct. 3. (Special to the Planet) - The installation services of Rev. J. R. Cooper, as pastor of the Trinity Baptist Church, began Sunday, September 24, and continued throughout the week. The following divines filled their places on the program: Rev. W. H. Harrison, Drs. S. A. Mones, W. E. Carr, W. F. Gratty, G. W. Goode, M. C. Allen and Dr. J. E. Jones, of Virginia Union University, Richmond, Va. In the absence of Dr. A. L. Johnson, who was to preach at eleven o'clock A. M., October 1, Dr. Jones was asked to fill the vacancy. At this hour Dr. Jones preached a stirring sermon from the subject, "Spiritual Growth." At 3:30 P. M. Dr. Jones preached the installation sermon. Dr. Jones has been associated with Trinity and its people since its organization. He preached the installation sermon of its first pastor. Rev. J. R. Cooper is a graduate of Virginia Union University, Richmond, Va. He is a man of splendid character. Dr. Jones, his former teacher, said of him, that during his stay at the Seminary he maintained the respect of both teacher and pupil. We hope for him a successful stay in Danville. The receipts of the week's rally were over two hundred dollars. The program terminated Monday evening the 1st, in a reception for the pastor. A. SUBLISHER SPARTAN ACTIVITIES There has been formed within the Spartan Literary and Athletic Association of this city, a society known as the "Spartan Minute Men." This society is operated under the auspices of the literary department, and will be interested in every phase of Negro life. In order to perform more effective and efficient work, it has been organized into the following groups: Committee on Investigation, and Reports. Committee on Thrift and Industrial Efficiency. Committee on Petitions, Grievances and Reforms And Reforms. Committee on Good Citizenship. Committee on Good Citizenship. Committee on Religion and Social Service. Samuel C. Howell, a public school teacher, will be in charge of the work assisted by Geo. H. B. Johnson, Frank Cephas and Geo. Mallory. This ably plans to co-operate with all agencies for the treatment of colored people, and will render under their instruction any requested of it. A number of prominent citizens have been requested to accept honorary membership, Mr. Alphonso Norrell, president of the Spartan Association, will assist in arranging the program of work, and will keep in touch with every branch of this new undertaking. --- HAMPTON INSTITUTE BUILDING AT STATE FAIR, NEXT WEEK It is earnestly desired that the colored people of Richmond and the State will demonstrate their race pride by going to see the artistic and industrial work of their children of the county and city schools. There will be displayed articles of various kinds in the women's department —such as bread, cake, pie, canned goods, fruits and vegetation, preserve,饼干; also amphibian hoe (plant and fuzzy), sowing, hand and machine made parcels, draught; pudding, beautiful farms RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1916 EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS DR. THOMSON'S VISITS—MAN SHOT THROUGH SPINE—PART OF BODY LIFELESS—INTERESTING RECITAL—A GREAT MEETING OF BANKERS. (Continued From Last Week.) It was about 1:30 P. M. when I returned to Dr. S. H. Thompson's residence with my satchel. I went into my cozy, well kept room, sat down and began to write. When o'clock came, dinner was served by the doctor's accomplished Madame. He has an interesting family. Miss Louise A. Miss Isabel M. Master Solom- oman H. and Master James Douglas A PHYSICIAN'S ACTIVITIES After Ginnor, I went out with Dr. Thompson to see some of his patients. We came in late. In one place that he went the case was gorious. The females in the neighborhood seemed to have been holding a consultation. They went into the house with Dr. Thompson. When he came out, they gathered around him to hear what he had to say. They seemed to have the most implicit confidence in his ability. They had raised the necessary amount of money to pay him. He took some of them into his six-passenger Hudson automobile and carried them home. COLLECTING DOLLAR MONEY. Dr. Thompson called at the residence of Rev. J. R. Ransom, pastor of the A. M. E. Church. Preaching Elder Smith was with him. Rev. Ransom wanted dollar money for conference. He was seventy-sold dollars shy. Several of his communicants had promised to help him. He accordingly got into Dr. Thompson's automobile, and with the presiding elder, I found myself in their company, going from house to house, endeavoring to help out the Methodist divine. LEAVING FOR CONFERENCE How much he raided I never knew All I know is that he said he got $2.00 from one of the members visited, and the next morning Dr. Thompson told me that it was reported that he had raised all but about $34.00. We left both of the divines at the church. They were to leave the next morning at 9 o'clock for Wichita where the General Conference would be presided over by Bishop Parks. THAT CALIFORNIA TROUBLE I learned, too, for the first time, that Rev. Greggs, who had been removed by Bishop Parks in Los Angeles, Cal., had set up an independent Methodist church, with a membership of about 400. We were soon making another call. It was after 10 o'clock when we arrived at Dr. Thompson's residence. There was a message there for him to call at the Douglass Hospital and Training School for Nurses. Dr. Thompson is the resident physician. The hurry call came on account of the bringing in there of a colored man who had been shot in the right chest near the shoulder. "Do you want to go?" he asked. I replied slowly, for I was tired: "Will you probe for the bullet?" "Perhaps so," was the response. "Well, I added." I was a newspaper man before I became a banker. The car was at the door and a few moments later I was at Douglass Hospital with Dr. Thompson leading the way. The head nurse met him at the door. There was a hurried consultation. Dr. Thompson went into the room in the rear. There on the bed lay a young man, just about 21 years of age. In reply to the question as to whether he felt any pain, he replied that he did not feel pain anywhere except in his back. He was paralyzed from the middle of his back downwards. Dr. Thompson tested his feet and legs, but they were as immune to pain as though they were stone. He could not move them. In the meantime, I was getting busy. Upon inquiring, I learned that this man, who had a wife and two children, had been shot the Saturday night before. It was after midnight, being between 1 and 2 o'clock Sunday morning. He was shot by Forrest Nelson with a trap gun (Winchester). 32 calibre. 32.20 was the way his father, who was there, put it. Dr. Thompson asked if they had not been gambling. He received an affirmative answer. Nelson had fired on Robbins while the latter was seated in a chair. He attempted to shoot him a second time. The bride occurred at Robbins, Mitchell, and they had brought this helpless man about 25 meters to secure medical aid. The physician there advised it. THAT GRUBSOME SKELTON. Billy Robinson's sister was William, Dr. Thompson's sister was a daddy. He took the worried father and sorrowing sister into the reception room of the hospital. Then he brought in a skeleton—the frame-work of a human body. He pointed out just where the bullet entered and explained that it must have flattened out on the spinal vertebra, gavering the cord. To relieve the pressure, it would be necessary to chisel it out, and this would destroy life. He argued that the better way would be not to disturb the patient. A HOPELESS CASE If he lived, he would be a hapless cripple. Would he live? That was the question: He had absolutely no control over the lower part of his extremities, from the waist down. He could not live long in this condition. It would have been far better for the sufferer if he had been killed outright. We left the hospital that night and in the gloom I asked many questions. "It is a hapless case," said Dr. Thompson. "That man has but a short time to live." I agreed, with him. THE RETURN TRIP When we entered the rear of the Thompson mansion and put the car into the garage, we entered the parlor, then went into the dining room where we discussed the day's events. It was after 12 o'clock, central time, when I retired, and I expected to get up early the next morning. I knew not where I was five minutes later. In the comfortable bed furnished, I forgot all else but the vagaries of dreamland. I awoke early, got up, walked around, and finding it too early, went to rest again. READING THE PAPERS. At 6 o'clock I went out upon the front porch, read the morning papers and then went in to the kitchen. Dr. Thompson's home is an ideal one. He offered to take me to the meeting place of the American Savings Bank section of the American Bankers' Association. I accepted the invitation and was soon on my way across those long vaults and bridges, which connects the two cities. One of these spans the cattle yards. The strong odor is intensified by the wind. San Francisco, California, and Oakland: New York and Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Camden; Richmond and South Richmond are similar in their location to these two Kansas cities. A PALATIAL EDIFICE The Muehlbach Hotel is located on 12th Street at a narrow point. The spacious hood over the main entrance covers the sidewalk. Livered attendants at the door usher the guests in and out, and look after the ladies. This is the most exclusive hotel in Kansas City. Colored folks are scarce there, even as servants. I saw colored help in the palatial Hotel Baltimore as servmen, but none in Hotel Muehlbach. They were there, no doubt, in some mental positions, but they kept out of sight. As for me, I ignored past conditions. I forgot, for the time being, that I was a member of the end race, the foot end part of humanity, so far as the conception of this class of people was concerned. A SCENE OF LOVELINESS I ascended the palatial stairs, and (Continued on Page Four.)

Cinchnath, Ohio, Sept. 25.—In order to secure substantial financial support for Horace D. Slatter, well-known Negro newspaper correspondent, who is in Asheville, North Carolina, trying to regain his health, Dr. L. Garland Penn, of Cinchnath, corresponding secretary of the Freedman Aid Society, is fathering a movement to get a number of men to pledge one dollar a month during the winter months. Mr. Slatter was stricken with tuberculosis in June of last year while his wife was suffering with the same disease. Mrs. Slatter died last October. He has spent the greater portion of this year in Asheville with fairly satisfactory results, and besides what his friends send him from time to time, has been trying to support himself by writing a series of articles on "Men I Have Known," for the Baltimore Afro-American. During the fourteen or fifteen years he has been in active life. Mr. Slatter has done a great amount of publicity work for the race in northern and southern newspapers and magazines and has helped materially in creating favorable sentiment for the race. Those persons desiring to participate in the movement may write either Mr. Slatter, 28 Beech Hill Street, Asheville, N.C., or Dr. L. Garland Penn, 220 West Fourth Street, Cinchnath, Ohio. PR.

Attendance VIRGINIA My dear Mr. Mitchell: I thank you very much for a copy of the official list of delegates and guests at Kansas City of the American Ranchers' Association. Your friends in these parts admire and applaud your cause as a leader, both as editor, and as a business man. We feel that you are giving the race prestige, securing for them recognition; and by your unrifeing, bull dog tenacity, pushing to the front, you are turning the mind, of the financial world towards your race in a way that will help us in this and the ages to come. We are proof of you. Long may you live to complete the work which, no doubt, Providence has assigned you. REY, W. F. GRAHAM. SPARTAN BILLIARD CONTEST. The fall pocket billiard tournament, staged in the billiard room of the Spartan Literary- and Athletic Association on Monday night, was interesting, exciting and largely attended. Mr. E. A. Pollard won first honors, with Messrs. C. P. Haynes and Fred Jackson close behind. The various contests were close, and at times savored of professional "stuff." The tenicle matches eliminated Messrs. Arthur Dysom, D. A., Alexander, Willie C. Jackson and Oscar Shelton. Messrs. S. S. Ellis and Fred Jackson went down in the semi-finals. The climax was reached in the battle between Messrs. Haynes and Pollard. The gallery held their breath as the tide of battle ebbed and flowed until finally, victory perched itself on Mr. Pollard's banner. Mr. Pollard was the most consistent player of all contestants, and richly deserved the honor he has won. The first prize was a watch. Mr. J. M. Dabney, manager of the Spartan Mock Marriage, announces that it will be repeated at the request of a large number of persons, on the 20th of October. Several new features, will take the place of discarded ones. CASE AGAINST DR. A. A. HECTOR IS DISMISSED The case in which Rev. A. A.

WEATHER, 8AY8 CHINESE Spurred by inquiries from persons who read the Hearlid's account on August 9 of the visit of two Chinese physicians to the infantile paralysis wards of the Willard Parker Hospital, Dr. Yuen Hock Ting, of No. 36 Poll street, completed yesterday his professional opinion of the malady. Dr. Yuen's article, in neatly, written columns of Chinese symbols, was translated at the offices of the Chinese Reform News Publishing Company, No. 176 Park row, by Mr. Yan Phou Lee, who was graduated from Yale in 1887, and for several years took medical courses in Vanderbilt University. Infantile paralysis is a disease known to the Chinese as "fung tan." Dr. Yuen said: "In my examination of the patients at the Willard Parker Hospital, I found these symptoms: -Systematic fever, headache, stiffness in neck and back, paralysis of the limbs. WHY CHIDREN ARE ATTACKED. "After investigating the causes of the malady I have come to the conclusion that it is entirely due to exposure to irregularities or sudden changes of atmospheric conditions with accompanying humidity, thereby affecting the nervous system. This disease very rarely appears in winter, but in summer and autumn, when sudden showers are followed by sudden clearings and the moisture in the air is turned into steam, weak and enveloped persons upon exposure to such a condition of the atmosphere, are liable to be stricken. "Why are adults so seldom affected while the disease attacks so many children? Because the young have tender bodies, their respiratory and circulatory systems have not acquired firmness and their skin have not hardened. That is, why they are so susceptible to atmospheric changes. "The disease which you call infantile paralysis is quite prevalent in China's southern provinces, but is rarely met with in North China, because a greater degree of moisture adds heat characterizes the atmosphere in the former section. "We Chinese medical men divide the human body into twelve sections, all connected by interlining nerves. Each section is rooted in some vital organ. Its external communications are established by means of blood vessels and porous of the skin. The nerves ramify through the muscles and joints. "The exposure to sudden changes of heat and moisture affects the nerves, resulting in stoppage in the blood circulation, thus causing paralysis. "The poison of the hot, moist air enters the system through the porous obstructs them and disturbs the circulation, and that is why fever, headache, stiffness of the neck and back result. "The indications call for expulsion of the poison, not by too violent means, but by adapting the medication to the symptoms, forcing the poison out through the porous of the skin. The fever and other symptoms will then be abated. MUST STIMULATE CIRCULATION "But if the poison has penetrated deeply into the nerve centres it result in stiffening of the limbs, at which juncture the circulation must be stimulated and restored to normal. The expulsion of the poison resulting therefrom will restore the nerve centres to their original activity. "Care must be exercised in prescribing remedies to adapt them to the condition of the patient. Constitutions differ as well as previous state of health, precluding the writing of one formula that would be applicable to all cases. "Besides, in the case of infants, the prenatal influence is very strong. That is why I am particular in inquiring into a child's antecedents. "When the patient is found stricken with the disease on no account should cathartics be prescribed at first. Cathartics deplete the blood, which is required to nourish the nerve centres and restore them to normal activity. Failure to heed this warning brings about a dangerous and irremediable condition. "According to the Chinese theory of medicine the disease of infantile paralysis is not difficult to treat at its inception. Why should it be different in America." Dr. Yuen Hock-Ting is one of the oldest of Oriental practitioners in the Chinese section of the city. He has been in this country many years. —Mr. John H. Jones returned to the city last week, after visiting, relatives and friends in Powhatan County, Va. He is looking the picture of health.

FROMINENT COLORED BANKER HERK Among Harrisburg's visitors yesterday afternoon, the guest of Robert J. Nelson, of the Department of Mines was John Mitchell, Jr., President of the Mechanics' Savings Bank, of Richmond, Va., said to be the foremost colored banker in the nation. Mr. Mitchell was returning home from a meeting of the American Bankers' Association, of which he is a member, and stopped over to see the capitol. He is also a member of prominent art and science societies in this and other countries and prominent in the National Municipal League. NEGRO BANKER AT CONVENTION John Mitchell, Jr., of Richmond, Va. Loaded With Honors. One of the most noted Negroes in the world is John Mitchell, Jr., president of the Mechanics Savings Bank of Richmond, Va. and the only Negro banker in attendance at the bankers' convention here. Besides being president of a bank, publisher of a newspaper, John Mitchell, Jr., is a member of the American bankers' Association, a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, London; member National Geographic Society; member of the American Association; the Advancement of Science, and a member of the National Municipalite. Tonight he speaks on topics of interest to his race at the Second Baptist church, where he will be the guest of the Rev. S. W. Bacote, who describes him as the most aggressive Negro of the age and one of the greatest Negro orators. "I am chairman of the national special committee to promote thrift among the Negro race," said John Mitchell, Jr., "and you can say for me the Negroes are more thrifty now than at any time since the war. There has been a general improvement in the race since that time. They now own $700,000,000 in property in the United States and $3,000,000 worth in Richmond. Our bank has $17,000 in deposits and a capital and surplus of $40,000. We own banking property and buildings to the value of $400,000." Editor John Mitchell returned to the city last Tuesday night. ```markdown ``` ROANOKE NOTES Rosanoke, Va., October 2 — Mr. Stephen Motley and Mrs. Marla Motley take this method of thanking their many friends for the many acts of kindness extended them at the death of their beloved little daughter, Athalia, who died September 14, 1916.

An enthusiastic meeting of a committee of colored citizens, who are making preparations to entertain the Negro Organization Society, which will be in session here November 9 and 10, was held in the First Baptist Church last night. Various imprints of the number of questions relative to the coming meeting were taken up for consideration. A number of important speakers have arranged to make addresses when the association convenes here, among them being Harris Hirt, attorney; D. Wright, State school inspector; Dr. James P. Faulkner, executive secretary of the Raoul Foundation of Atlanta, Ga.; Miss Agnos D. Randolph, secretary of the Virginia Anti-Tuberculosis Association; J. B. B. Work and L. A. Jenkins, State supervisor of industrial teaching. The Negro Organization Society is the largest organization of its kind in the State. It represents all the Negro delegates from every Negro lodge, church, school improvement league, educational institution, and society will attend. The object of the society is to promote education and to look after the health of the general betterment of the Negro race. At the meeting last night, A. J. Oliver was unanimously elected chairman of the committee and Jacob L. Read, secretary. Dr. L. L. Downs, president of the organization and Prof. E. A. principal of the Christianburg Normal and Industrial Institute, attended the meeting. Major Robert R. Moton, who succeeded Booker T. Washington as president of Truckee Institute at Truckee, of the Negro Organization Society. Negro, visers are watching with keen interest the attitude of Charles E. Hughes on the question of race discrimination. Generally speaking, the Negro is not a victim of Wilson, not so much because of what has been done during his administration to their detriment—for example, in the matter of race segregation in the Government departments at Washington because these things were utterly because with his promises made to their representatives during the campaign before his election. The Negroes are now quoting similar fair words of Mr. Hughes, and event of his election, they will live up to them, or forget them, as they say his predecessor in office has done. They are especially interested in, and are circulating, his speech at Nashville in an audience of 2,000 Negroes. A lecture by the New York Age, he said, in part: "I am told on very high authority that there are now one million colored farmers, with farm property of the value of one billion and a half hundred church property of the value of seventy millions. You are represented in the various activities of life. I believe that you have some forty thousand school teachers, some twenty thousand clergymen, some twenty thousand lawyers, some hundred lawyers, and upwards of twenty-one thousand engaged in the real estate business. "I understand that you are conducting upwards of forty thousand places dredged and fifty newspapers and other publications. Coordinating the conditions that existed little more than one half century ago. I submit that it is an extraordinary record of progress which shall fill with pride every hope of the future. "You have schools of agriculture and of industry: opportunity for higher education. Now, in all this it most thoroughly believe. There is nothing that makes for the advancement of that industry that I do not earnestly desire. I think that the lesson which must be learned by you, as by others, is the hard lesson of industry and perseverance in adapting yourselves to all the activities of life, and in becoming citizen of thrift and ability you, become agents for the advancement of industry, directing the communities in which you live. There is no different law of attainment for the black than for the white. It is the work of study; it is the lesson of thrift; it is the lesson of industry; it is the lesson of good citizenship; it is the lesson of aptitude; it is the lesson of special knowledge and training. I want the colored pens and pencils of my activity, to be adapted to it, to be fitted for their work, to progress by showing their aptitude, their training, and their knowledge. I want them in every form of effort which is essential in our civilized community, by the perseverance of their application, by the thrift of their character, by their honesty and fidelity, to be commended as the best of their people of this country. "We have many, many difficulties. I believe it was that great leader, Booker T. Washington, whom I had the pleasure of knowing, who said that freedom was not a benefit but was a conquest. There is a very great truth in that statement. It means that no one can confer upon another's blessings of freedom; have got to be won by individual qualification. "I want an honest and a pure bad lot. We desire whenever there is a particular thing to be done, to prove that it can be done. All that you have to do is to take advantage of each opportunity, and when there is a good opportunity, well that you command the admission of every one who knows about it. That is the only rule that you can give a boy or a man for success in this world. It is not looking at the mountain top ten miles away. It is looking at the market at ten miles away. It is looking at the duty of tomorrow; it is always measuring like a man and like a woman to the task of the moment that builds character, that insures respect, that wins general esteem. Black men and women can do that, a woman doing the same, a variety of women progress to which I have referred. They are taking advantage of educational opportunities. I want to see these opportunities extended. I want to see them practical. It is well that you have higher educational opportunities, but do not want to be the one that you in connection with the everyday necessities of life. "I say to you that I stand, if I stand for anything, for equal and exact justice to all. I stand for the maintenance of the rights of all American citizens. I stand for the one word that I love above all others is the word 'justice.' We want in this country what is right. "I am sure you do not wish particular things done because of color. I desire to see such fair and decent and just treatment as will make you proud of your manhood and womanhood. "I have frequently said there is no color line in good work. Do good work and do good work. Let any one have the right to doubt your word. Be diligent. Watch every opportunity to improve your mind. Do every task thoroughly. Never slight anything because some people are being. Be thorough, honorable, and you will honor American citizenship." COLOKED HOSPITAL Frederick B. Morlock, superintendent of Memorial Hospital, yesterday received from the architects. Ireland and New York, two prints of the Hague hospital, which will be the first building opened of the new group provided by the Palm Beach Hospital, the company said. The group has been committed with the building will probably be begun inside the three times of the Negro hospital. Work will start about October 1, and the buildings are expected to be ready for the James H. Dexter pavilion for the negro diseases have not yet reached final form. The buildings will be strictly Richmond products. Superintendent Morlock stated yesterday that 95 per cent. of the material used in construction will be supplied by local firms. The building will be of brick, of simple architecture. Unusual ornamentation has been sacrificed to utility and convenience. The Negro hospital will be located on ground now covered by 1215-1212 East Marahall Street. The nurse's home will be on East Broad Street, just west of Monumental Episcopal School. Clearing the lots will begin immediately for the construction of the buildings have not yet been let. Every modern appliance known to hospital builders will be installed. The Negro hospital will cost approximately $100,000, with an additional $25,000 for equipment. Instead of the six-stories originally planned there will be seven. There will be 145 beds. MOST UP-TO-DATE HOSPITAL FOR NEGROES IN AMERICA. "It will be the most up-to-date Negro hospital in the United States," declared Superintendent Morlok yesterday. "It will be practically the only private hospital devoted exclusively to Negro patients, and the only one having a training school for Negro students." Perhaps the most unique feature of the Negro hospital's service to Richmond is the opportunity it offers white people to have their servants inspected. At stated times each week Negro servants may come and submit to physical examination. By this means it is hoped to prevent many inflicted nurses, cooks, maids and chaufs the white population whom the employed. So far as is known, no other hospital in the world offers such an opportunity to the people of the city in which it is located. The Idea is original with the management of Memorial Hospital. Emphasizing the social service feature of the Negro hospital, those in charge plan to give instruction to the white population in hygiene. Prevention of disease will be more stressed than during it. Negro nurses will care for the patients under the supervision of white leaders. Negro girls in the training school will be instructed by white teachers. Post-graduate courses will be offered the Negro nurse. The physicians will be the regular members of the Memorial Hospital staff.

William Settleman, journalist in police court, today of the charge of violently resisting the police. Justice Griggs, in disposing of the case said: "I think this man has been punished enough already." Settleman said he had trouble he had with Patroiman T. Mazey the night of September 2 on north avenue in Barton Heights soon after he alighted from a street-car en route to his home on Greenwood avenue and carried a suit case in his hand and escaped from the policeman ensued after he had been quisced as to its contents. Maxey testified today that his attention was first attracted to Settles by profane language he was bring in by the police and another colored man. In the scene the policeman and Settles went down together with Money on top. Though Settles succeeded in getting hold of the policeman's suit, the latter finally unwrapped it from him and he had to be subdued. They questioned as to the slight between the two that substantially the same man had published when the case was first filed. As a result of the accusations Settles Bingham under Simpson, Attorney Bingham, Levine, Hippolytus, Bellington today, accused in various cases with Paytonman Henry Settles, in the statement. But he was sorry, and was employed at the American Lions' work. When first approached by the police man Settles remarked that he was from the North, according to Maxey's timentory today. Maxey also testified that Settles remarked that he was not afraid of any policeman and that if he had a gun he would shoot him. Charles K. Graham, Director of the Agricultural Department of Hampton Institute—America's pioneer industrial school for colored and Indian announcements that the Eleventh Annual Names and Exhibit will be held in the Hampton Institute Building at the Virginia State Fair, October 9-15. "Eight years ago, at Hampton's Third Paymer's Conference," says Dilip Graham, "all the exhibits were placed in the table covering about forty square feet. "In November 1915, over six thousand square feet of, tables were required to display the exhibit, and the quality would be a credit to the farmers of any state. "Only to the lack of room for proper display, exhibits at Hampton Institute, but also that the general public may see the quality of the Negro products and the wonderful interest being taken in rural life in the state. It has been designed to build a special building at Richmond, and hold this fall's exhibit there at the same time as the State Fair. "It is hoped, therefore, that race pride will cause every Negro to cooperate with us in this first Negro Permian Conference at the State Fair." This announcement and invitation is also signed by Principal H. B. Frick sell, who is well-known in Richmond and in the arctic region for his interest in the arctic welfare of white and colored people. WM. ANTHONY AERY. NEGRO CONFERENCE AND FAIR AT GATES INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE Christiansburg, Va., Sept. 29—Under the auspices of the Christiansburg Industrial Institute, Prof. E. A. Long, Principal, a Fair and Conference among colored people was held Thursday and Friday of this week. The college was an exhibition of products grown in the Rufus Cox, the United States Farm Demonstration Agent for Montgomery and Floyd Counties, and Mrs. Idia V. Woodlyn, Industrial Supervisor for Montgomery County. A large number and colored people attended, including students from the white High School with their teachers, who came in a body. The articles exhibited by the colored people were excellent. The farm products—corn especially—were unattended and showed that the Farm Demonstration team taught them how to select taught the exhibit by the Christiansburg Institute of products grown by the students was a show in itself. At the State Fair for colored people held at Hampstead Institute, the Christiansburg Industrial Institute, the merited first, second, and third place. The Boy's Garden Club is a good showing and indicated that the was being directed along right lines. No sanger thing can be done for the Negroes than to teach them to buy land and to farm. In Montgomery County one-third of the Negro population is engaged in farming, and they own 96 percent of the farm they operate, the credit for the nation is due, at least in part, to the influence of the Christiansburg Institute, which operates a farm of 155 acres and requires all students, both boys and girls, to take a course in practical theoretical agriculture before graduation. The women's work, including serving, cooking, fancy needle work, and canning, etc., made a due The judges of the prizes and awards were composed of committees of whitlndies and gentlemen of Christiansaburs as follows: On canning and pre-餐 Mrs. Grace Mannon, inoup.

The question of Health was discussed by Dr. A. M. Showalter, Mr. T. C. Erwin, Filed Secretary, Nero Organization Society told what people should have organization to promote some health among Negroes. Under the question of Home-Making, Miss Ella A. Anew, State Supervisor of Canning Clubs smoke on the Alms of Home-Making Club, Mrs. Ida R. Woodlyn told of a Janning Club among colored girls in the town—and Mrs. R. I. Roup, wife of the Commonwealth Attorney for Montgomery County, spoke most admirably on the subject, "An Ideal Home." Under the topic, Better Schools, Mr Arthur D. Wright, State Supervisor, the State is doing to help colored people. Prof. E. A. Long, President of Negro Teachers' Association, told of League Work in Colored Schools in Virginia. He showed from records of the past five years, that Negroes in Virginia, through their school improvement program, received $19,000 on their schools' addition to what the pays to acquire them. Portland Shire is not another school in the United States that can pay good a record for educational purposes. In an annual admission a number of former Negroes in Montgomery County will be admitted to the school. "The whole business and great business was. More Planning and more Cooperation. Mr. Bush M. H. Gill, President of the League discussed with us and successfully. The Business Hall of Planning." Mr. James M. Jones, Director of Cooperative Extension Work in Agrifolia. Home Reception in Virginia, whose Virginia Polytechnic Institute told what the government is doing to aid farmers. His address was brimful of helpful information, and every man who heard him went away from the meeting to give a heartier co-operation to the extension work than ever before. Mr. John B. Pierce, who is Collaborator with Mr. Jones, but working among Negroes, told what is being done in Virginia among Colored Association Mr. Rufus H. Cox, Demonstration Agent for contortions and Floyd Counties, told what is accomplished in those two counties during his nearly two years work in them². A rare treat to the large gathering was the address by President J. D. Engel of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute in his address by assuring the Colored Farmers as long as he had any say so in the distribution of the Smith-Lever Fund in Virginia, he proposed to see to it that the Negro Farmers got a square deal. He was cheered to the echo thirty minute address, and no feature of the Conference was enjoyed more. An automobile party of "Friends" from Philadelphia, under whose management the school is run, and who coprotribute most of the money for its support, came down to be at the Confluence, included Mr. Arthur L. Ribleh and Mr. J. P. Riverton N. J. and Mr. J. P. Riverton and Miss Ether Whittaker. CONVICTED OF "FIXING" SCALES (News Leader—Sept. 30, 1916) One agent of the Atlantic and Pacific Tre Company was acquitted and convicted in today in Justice Crutchfield where they were tried on the charge of using scales not of standard weight as prescribed by the state statute. R. M. King, in charge of the company's store in Addison street, beheld a small street and Floyd avenue, was accused of making this action Justice Crutchfield told King's explanation that customer asked a child, had placed a half-ounce weight on the scales causing them to give short weight to that amount. R. M. Baggy, of the company's store at 200 Main street, accused of tampering with a pair of scales so they would give short weight, was fined $20. His counsel, Gilbert K. Pollock, noted an answer. REPEATED ALLEGED CONFESSION The most damaging testimony given against Baghy was the repudiation by J. C. Bowman, a former inspector for the company, now retired, of a condition he alleged Baghy made to him. Bowman told the court of a conversation he had, with Baghy after T. W. Joseph, city inspector of weights and measures, had filed complaint against Baghy and King. He said Baghy acknowledged that he had fixed the scales so they would chest and weigh his first dishonest act. Baghy further stated, according to the witness, that he intended to go to court and await the truth. He asked Bowman if he thought the company would continue him in its employ. "That man" said the court, referring to Bowman, "is the treasurer of my lodge, and I believe every word he says." Baghy did not take the witness stand. IN CHARGE ONLY THREE HOURS Inspector Joseph discovered the scales in both stores out of order September 11. It was established that King, who had worked in the store at the Main Main street for ten months had only taken charge of the Addison street store, day of the inspector's visit. D. J. Money, city superintendent of the stores, the scales in King's store were all right when he turned the store over to him. "Tying in his own behalf, King said he has in knowledge of how the half-ounce weight was placed on the "soap" end of the store." He been in charge for only two or three hours before Inspector Joseph arrived. During that time, he said, there had been twenty or twenty-five customers at the store, many of them children. As the store, many of them lay on the counter with other customers in position easily reached by a child he thought. It likely that one had placed the weight on the scales in play. Hill Carter appeared as counsel for King, and Colonel George Wayne Anderson, assistant city attorney, for the prosecutor. The tea company was represented by Attorney David Meade White. COMPANY'S ORDERS ARE STRICT P. R. Reeler, of Washington, superintendent of all the company's stores in Virginia and other states, testified that the company issued strict written instructions to its store managers in reference to scales and instituted on Old "Foots and Foots," who has been spoken of before in this column, has a "Grandpa," of whom he is very proud. The old gent lives in Norwich, Chelsea and is well thought by old friends. By all means, he somewhat of a age learned in the intelligence course and "sharing tertorius." In order to be up to the minute on the news of the world, "Grandpa" paid a great deal of attention and no money to the news, and he never tried to be bored trying to glimpse great things and other tertorius. "Grandpa" has one feeling and that was his given because, like he should say, he is not a man of the world. But he was a man for strangers; "We must give giving is essence to the pound in cash and every influence. No suspensions. Trust your Mr. Arnagh. Let us just as to give sixteen and a half of money to you as it is fifteen and a half. Short weight robs the customer; over weight robs you of a position, as your stock cannot help but be short." on the creative work Dollabo-working being Colored and Mary and I beenunties work in The Gates Ajar," given by Mrs. Robt.

Overland Red by Harry Herbert Kaibbs Copyright, 1914, by Houghton Mifflin Co. AT the station Louise found her guests, young Dr. Marshall and his wife, also the telegram announcing the day they would arrive. "I'm sorry," began Louise. But the Marshalls silenced her with hearty "Oh, painhs!" and "No matters" with an incidental hug from Annd. "Why, you have changed so, Annet!" exclaimed Louise. "What have you been doing? You used to be so terribly formal, and now you're actually hugging me in public." "The public" has just departed, Miss Lacharme, with your pony, I believe. He rides well—the tall, dark chap that came with you." "Oh, Collie! He's gone for the buckboard, of course. Stupid of me not to drive down. We really didn't expect you until tomorrow, but you'll forgive us all, won't you? You can see now how telegrams are handled at those stations." Anne Marshall, a brown eyed, rather stately and pleasingly slender girl, smiled and shook her head. "I don't know. I may if you will promise to introduce me to that fascinating young cowboy that rode away with your horse. I used to dream of such men." Young Dr. Marshall coughed. The girls laughed. "Oh, Collie?" said Louisa. "Of course you will meet him. He's our right The Borrowed Buckboard Had Arrived Dramatically. hand man. Uncle Walter says he couldn't get along without him, and Aunty Eleanor just thinks he is a perfect." "And, Louise?" queried Anne Marshall "Same," said Louise, noncommittally. "I don't see why he took Boyar with him to the store though." The Marshalls and Louise paced slowly up and down the station platform, chatting about the east and Louise's last visit there before Anne was married. Presently they were interrupted by a wild clatter of hoops and the grind and screech of a hastily applied brake. The borrowed backboard, strong, light, two seated and built for service, had arrived dramatically. Collee leaned back, the reins wrapped around his wrists and his foot pressing the brake home. In the harness stood er, rather, grated Boyar and Collie's own pony, Apache. It is enough to say that neither of them had ever been in harness before. The ponies were trying to get rid of the appended vehicle through any possible means Louise gisped. "Price's team is out—over to the Oro ranch. I knew you wanted a team in a hurry," said Collie. "It looks quite like a team in a hurry," commented Dr. Marshall. "Your man is a good driver." "Splendid!" said Louise. "Come on, Anne. You always said you wanted to ride behind some real western horses. Here they are." "Why, this is just—just bully!" whispered the stately Anne Marshall. "And isn't he a striking figure?" "Yes," answered Louisa, who was just the least bit uncertain as to the outcome of Outlitt's busy assembling of unfinished harness material. "It is just badly." Where in the world did you unearth that word, Anna? Dr. Monnally offended designation of the backboard as "a team in a hurry" two people, even unto the dud. What Roger could not accomplish in the way of equine gymnastics in harness American Coyle's ponies, could Boyar and Apache took advantage of every turn, pitch, steep descent and food to display the demoniac ingenuity inspired by their outraged feelings. They were splendid, obedient saddle animals, but to be buckled and strapped in irritating harness and hitched to that four wheeled disgrace, a buckboard! Anne Marball chatted happily with Louise, punctuating her lovely chatter with subdued little cries of delight as some new turn in the trail opened on a vista uninspirably beautiful, especially to her eastern even. Young Dr. Marshall in the front seat with Collis, braced his feet and smiled. He had had experience in a New York ambulance, but then that had been over level streets. He glanced over the edge of the canyon road, and his smile faded a little. It faded entirely as the front wheel sheared off a generous shoevole of earth from a sharp upright angle of the bill as the team took the turn at a gallop. "The road needs widening there anyway," commented Collis, as though apologizing. "I have my or so sequel kit with me," said the general doctor. "I'm a surgeon." Collis nodded, but kept his eyes rigidly on the horrors. Explicitly this immaculate of the white collar and cuffs and the stylish gray tweeds had "sand." "They're a little fussy, but I know 'em," said Collie as Boyar, apparently terror stricken at a manhattan that he had passed hundreds of times, raided, his force feet pawing space and the traces dangerously slack. Louise bit her lower lip and quickly called Anna's attention to a spot of vivid color on the hillside. To Dr. Marshalla, surprise, Collie struck Apache, who was behaving, smartly with the whip. Apache leaped forward, bringing Boyar down to his feet again. The doctor would have been inclined to strike Boyar for misbehaving. He saw Collie's wisdom and smiled. To have punished Boyar when already on his hind feet would have been folly. At the top of the next grade the lathering, restive pores finally settled to a stubborn trot. "Mad clean through," said Collie. "I should say they were behaving well enough" said the doctor, not as much as an opinion as to relieve his tense nerves in speech. "When a brone goes to acting lady-like then is the time to look out," said Collec. "Boyar and Apache have never been in harness before. Seems kind of queer to 'em." "What! Never been—why, hub! For benven's sake, don't let Mrs. Marshall bear that!" Walter Stone and his wife made the Marshalls feel at home immediately. Walter Stone had know Dr. Marshalls father, and he found in the son a pleasant living recollection of his old friend. Aunt Eleanor and Louse had visited with Anne when they were east. She was Anne Winthrop then and Louise and abo bad found much in common to enjoy in shopping and sightseeing. Their one regret was that Louise would have to return to the west before Anne's marriage to the young Dr. Marshall they admired so much. There had been vague promises of coming west after "things were settled," as Anne put it, which was merely another way of saying, "After we are married and have become enough used to each other to really enjoy a long trip west." The Marshals had arrived, with three years of happiness behind them and apparently with an agon or so of happiness to look forward to, for they were quiet, unassuming young folks, with plenty of money and no desire whatever to make people aware of it. In the shadows of the mountain evening they congregated on the veranda and chatted about the cast, the west and incidentally about the proposed picnic they were to enjoy a few days later, when "boots and maddies" would be the order of the day. "And the trails are not bad, Anne," said Louise. "When you get used to them you'll forget all about them, but your pony won't. He'll be just as deliburate and anxious about your safety and his at the end of the week as he was at the beginning." "I imagine: A week of riding about these mountains! How Billy would have enjoyed it, doctor!" "Yes. But I believe he is having a pretty good time where he is." "We wish he could be here, Anne," said Louise. "I've never met your brother. He's always been away when I have been cast." "Which has been his misfortune," said Dr. Marshall. "He written such beautiful letters about the desert and his mining claim—that's his latest find—and says he's much stronger. But I believe they all my that when they have his trouble, you know." "From Billy's last letter I should say he was in pretty fine shape," said the descent. "His living conditions and a good climate, presented in the desert. He was nothing entirely." He gives us lessons of a great ancient Drought in the desert. THE NICHMOND PLANET, NICHMOND, VIRGINIA G. D. Barker In the Radiance of the Porch Light Stood a Wonderfully Attired Stranger. "Up above San Berdoo," said Walter Stone. And he straightway drifted into reverie. "Hello," exclaimed Dr. Marshall, leaning forward. "Sounds like the exhast of a pretty heavy car. I didn't imagine any one would drive, that canyon road after dark." "Unnatural," said Stone, getting to his feet. "Some one in a hurry. I'll turn on the porch light and defy the mosquitoes." With a beeline rear and a succeeding clatter of empty cylinders an immense rushing car stopped at the gate below. The powerful headlight shot a widening pathway through the night. Voices came distinctly from the vicinity of the machine. Before Walter Stone had reached the bottom step of the porch a huge figure appeared from out the shadows. In the radiance of the porch light stood a wonderfully attired stranger. Frank coast, silk hat, patent leather, straped trousers and pearl gatters, a white vest and a noticeable watch chain adorned the driver of the automobile. He stood for a minute blinking in the light; then he swept his hat from his head with muscular grace. "Excuse me for intrudin'," he said. "I seen this glim and headed for it. In Mr. Walter Stone at lee sure?" "I'm Walter Stone," said the rancher, somewhat mystified. "My name's Summers, Jack Summers, proprietor of the Rose Girl mine." And overland Rose, estwhile sheriff of Albene, cowboy, trump, prospector, gun man and many other interesting things, offered a highly engraved calling card. Again he bowed profoundly, his hat in his hand, a white carnation in his buttbone and rapture in his heart. He had seen Louise again—Louise, leaning forward, staring at him incredulously. Wouldn't the rose girl be purified? She was. "I can't say that I quite understand"—began Stone. "Why. It's the man who borrowed my pony"—exclaimed Louise. "Correct, miss I—I come to thank you for lendin' me the urge that time." Walter Stone simply had to laugh "Come up and rest after your trip up the canyon. Of course you want to see Collie. He told me about your find ing the claim. Says you have given him a quarter interest. I'm glad you're doing well." "I took a little run in to Los to get some new tires. The desert cuts 'em up pretty fast. The Guzzuh, she cast her off blind shoe the other day. I was gardened she go'ed home. Belt' up this way. I thought I'd roll up and see Colle." "The Guzzuh?" queried Stone. "You rode up, then?" "Nope. The Guzzuh is me little old racin' car. I christened her that right after I got so as I could climb on to her without her pitchin' me off. She's some brone, she is." (TO BE CONTINUED.) Says German Merchant U-Boat Is Held at Falmouth.

The Bremen, the second German merchant a bimarine, freq. en- ly reported, on his way to this country from Germany, has b.e. captured by the British, and now is held a prisoner in Falmouth har. or, according to Dr. R. Tait McKenzie, physical director of the University of Pennsylvania, who returned to Philadelphia, after serving all summer as a major in the medical corps of the British army. British officials refuse to admit the capture of the Bremen, Dr. McKenzie added, but the general public is convinced of the truth of the reports new current in every part of England. The Bremen had been reported captured several times before. Dr. McKenzie Funeral New York on the American Line stairway New York.

The constrainment consisted of a great variety of cut and uncut stones it was reported, destined for sovereign of the large diamond and jewelry firms in this country. Dr. McKenzie did not see the Bromen, he says, nor did he know of any one who had seen her, so strict was the guard placed about her hiding place in the harbor of Falmouth. It was his duty as a major in the medical corps to model the English concentration camps and devise a system whereby the malmed and serd ush wounded soldiers could bring themselves back to normal as near as their condition would allow, how best to handle themselves and make them selfes into useful citizens again. There was much more work than there were men to do it, he said, and he often had to invent appliances and make them himself. About forty per cent of the men sent to the concentration camps usually are returned to the front, Dr. McKenzie explained; thirty per cent are unit for further army service, and the remaining thirty per cent, needed at home, are trained in some useful trade. Dr. McKenzie declared there is no doubt in the English mind now that the big drive is on. At the beginning of the war England labored under a great handicap in that she was no prepared to care for the great number of wounded men suddenly dropped upon her. Now, however, the concentration camp system has been developed to such a point that England is ready to handle practically any number of wounded and incapacitated soldiers. The feature of his work in the concentration camps which made the most impression on Dr. McKenzie was the PETER H. condition of the poison gas victim brought in for treatment. "It is horrible," he said. "One of the most horrible deaths imaginable, and there is no means of alleviating the sufferin or preventing the death of those who have inhaled the fumes. "In many cases it takes a week for the poison gas to kill its victim," he declared. "The effects in some way are similar to those in cases of drowning. Imagine drowning for a week." "The English attitude toward the war now," continued Dr. McKenzie. "seems to be one in which each and every Englishman slowly is getting madder and madder. The country is thoroughly aroused to the situation and they are determined to go through with the conflict at any cost." Drops Dead in Corn Field.

W. * 4° “Washington, D. 6. 7 --- THE MURDER OF AMERICANS INVITED BY THE PRESIDENT, SAYS ROOSEVELT Battle Creek, Mich., Saturday. Thousands from Battle Creek and surrounding sections of Michigan, massed along gayly decorated streets gave Theodore Roosevelt a noisy greeting here today when he arrived from New York to address a republican mass meeting late this afternoon. It was Mr. Roosevelt's first campaign speech in Michigan for Charles E. Hughes and the second he has made thus far on behalf of the republican nominee. Mr. Roosevelt was kept on the jump for two hours after he left the train. He reviewed a long parade and held a public reception. Then while he was taking two hours' rest a great crowd flocked into a circus tent where the mass meeting was held. Mr. Roosevelt began his speech soon after four o'clock. Lafayette Young, formerly Senator of Iowa; Senator Charles E. Townsend, of Michigan, and Representative Patrick H. Kelley, of Michigan, were among the speakers. Before the mass meeting started general thousand persons were fed at a "prosperity" barbecue near the circus tent. On his journey from Detroit to Battle Creek Mr. Roosevelt made a brief rear platform speech at Marshall. Many women carrying babies were in the audience and Mr. Roosevelt commended them: "for being good citizens." TEXT OF THE SPEECH. Mr. Roosevelt's speech follows, in part: "The supporters of Mr. Wilson say that the American people should vote for him because he has kept us out of war. It is worth while to remember that this is a claim that cannot be advanced either on behalf of Washington or of Lincoln. Neither Washington nor Lincoln kept us out of the war. Americans and the people of the world at large, now reverence the memories of these two men, because, and only because, they put righteousness before peace. They abhorred war. They shunned unjustion, wonton or rockless war. But they possessed that stern valor of patriotism which hade them put-duty first; not safety first; which hade them accept war rather than an unrighteous and disastrous peace. There were peace-at-any-price men in the days of Washington. They were the Torles. There were peace-at-any-price men in the days of Lincoln. They were the Copperheads. The men who now with timid hearts and quavoring voices praise Mr. Wilson for having kept us out of war are the spiritual heirs of the Torles of 1776, and the Copperheads of 1864. "President Wilson by his policy of tame submission to insult and injury from all whom he feared has invited the murder of our men, women and children by Mexican bandits on land and by German submarines on the sea. He has spoken much of the 'new freedom'. In international practice this has meant freedom for the representatives of any foreign Power to murder and outrage American women unchecked by the President. President Wilson has counted upon his belief that the American people are indifferent to their duties, because they are too much absorbed in war profits too much pleased with the unhealthy prosperity which flourishes because others are suffering; too greedily content with a momentary immunity from danger, due to the fact that all possible foes are otherwise engaged. THE LUSITANIA CASE "Nearly one year and a half has passed since the Lusitania was sunk. The act represented the most colossal Charley Chaplin's Comic Capers single instance of the murder of non-compliant, including men, women and children, that had been perpetrated by any power calling itself civilized for over a century. President Wilson had full notice as to what was to be done, for the German Ambassador, Mr. Von Barsonstoff, had publicly given such notice to the people of the United States. For less than such action President George Washington, when ours was a weak infant nation, forced the recall of the French Ambassador, Genet. But President Wilson did not act. He only spoke. And his words were a direct incitement to the repetition of the wrong. For immediately after the sinking of the Lusitania he uttered his famous sentence about being "too proud to fight." "In all our history there has never been any other American President who has used a phrase that has done such widespread damage to the good name of America. It is one of those dreadful phrases which, as by a lightning flash, illumines the soul of the man using it, and remains forever fixed in the minds of mankind in connection with that man. "Nor was this phrase an isolated one. Shortly afterward under date of May 27, the New York Times contained the statement that President Wilson declined an invitation to speak at Independence Hall on July 5, and in response to a suggestion that he should only speak on patriotism, remarked: 'This is perhaps the very time when I would not care to arouse the sentiment of patriotism.' I call your attention to the fact that I take this statement from one of the most prominent Wilson papers. President Wilson refused to speak in Independence Hall on the 128th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in that hall, and he so refused because inasmuch as over one hundred of our men, women and children had just been murdered on the high seas he regarded it as 'the very moment when he would not care to arouse the sentiment of patriotism.' Mr. Wilson has a positive genius for striking when the iron is cold and fearing to strike when the iron is hot. "DEEDS CONTRADICT WORDS." "The other day, discussing his refusal to recognize Huerta, President Wilson said in his speech of acceptance that he would refuse to recognize any 'title based upon intrigue and assassination,' and that he would refuse to extend the hand of welcome to any one who obtains power in a sister republic by treachery and violence'. Few words; only, as usual, they are contradicted by Mr. Wilson's deeds. Let this statement about Huerta be tested by Mr. Wilson's record in exactly similar cases when dealing with other men. In February, 1914, at the very time he was refusing to recognize Huerta in Mexico, President Wilson recognized Colonel Benavides in Peru, although Benavides had obtained his power by the exact means which Mr. Wilson denounced in the case of Huerta. The government of Benavides was founded on assassination and had no vestige of constitutional authority back of it. It came into power in February, 1914, when Colonel Benavides led the garrison troops against the President's palace, imprisoned the President and assassinated the Minister of War and various others. "In both Santo Domingo and Havt President Wilson intervened by force on behalf of men who had obtained power precisely of Huerta obtained it. Indeed, in the case of Hatti, President Zamor was guilty of far worse conduct. But Santo Domingo and Havt were weak and President Wilson was willing to act as regards them as he did not venture to act in Mexico. "But it is Mr. Wilson's recognition of Carranza which more than anything else applies the 'acid test,' of which Mr. Wilson is so fond of speaking, to Mr. Wilson's own allegations to why he did not recognize Heurta Every argument against Huerta applied with tenfold more truth and weight against Carranza. Immediately after Mr. Wilson recognized Carranza, the latter courtmartialled and shot a former member of the Heurta's Cabinet. Garcia Granados, who had committed no crime whatever except having served in Huerta's Cabinet. It was a deliberate murder of a man of good character who was at the time in private life; and Carranch had already permitted his followers to assassinate members of the House and members of the Senate of the Mexican Congress. For full particulars I refer you to the speech of Senator Fall on June 2 last. On April 3, 1915, the Americans resident in the City of Mexico sent to the Department of State a letter setting forth that Carranza's troops had, without check by him, and acting by his orders, killed men, outraged women, and raided churches. "In dealing with foreign nations, if we are to retain our self-respect and protect our citizens, the first essential is that when we speak it shall be understood that we mean what we say. In his speech at West Point on THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA June 2 last, President Wilson said: "Mankind is going to know that when America speaks she means what she says." Most emphatically mankind will never know this as long as Mr. Wilson is President." As on almost every question Press dent Wilson has occupied at least two diametrically opposite positions, we can usually find in some of his words an outline of the position we ought to have taken; but almost without exception, these fine words have had the meaning we helped out of them by other words, and usually there have been no deeds whatever. Take, as an instance, the question of preparedness, and of the means necessary to secure it. In the fourteen months extending from December 8, 1914, to February 10, 1916, there were fifteen messages, letters and speeches of President Wilson which I have read. In these fifteen messages, letters and speeches during these fourteen months. President Wilson took forty-one different positions about preparedness and the measures necessary to secure it, and each of these forty-one positions contradicted from one to six of the others. In many of his speeches the weasel words of one portion of the speech took all the meaning out of the words used in another portion of that speech, and these latter words themselves had a weasel significance as regards yet other words. "PANIC" IN NAVY BUILDING "Six years ago, in 1910, as soon as the democrats got possession of the House, they stopped work on the navy. From being the second naval power in the world in point of size, we have during the last seven years, slipped down to being the fourth; and under Secretary Daniels, and thanks to the action of President Wilson, our efficiency reached its nadir. Now at last, and many years too late, the administration and the democratic leaders in Congress have turned in panic and are now seeking to build the navy. The plan they have authorized is, in effect, the plan for which I asked eight years ago in my message of April 14, 1908, when I advocated the building of four super-dreadnoughts with, of course, other vessels in proportion. Let us provide for a great navy the second in size in the world; let us provide for a regular army of a quarter of a million men, short service men, so that we can have 150,000 men who can be concentrated at once on the Mexican frontier, or on other coast, if there is serious trouble. And let us begin patiently and forsightedly to inaugurate in this country the system which treats the performance of the duties of citizenship as a necessary complement to the enjoyment of the rights of citizenship. Let us provide for universal obligatory military training of all our young men in time of peace, and for the recognition of the principle that in time of war every man and every woman in the country is bound to render service wherever it is deemed that he or she can render it best. "I ask you to test the character and courage of Mr. Hughes and Mr. Wilson by comparing their attitude as regards the demands of the railway brotherhoods, which culminated recently in the miscalled eight hour legislation at Washington. "We have seen in this country few things more disreputable to our Representatives and more omnious for the future of the nation than the spectacle of the President and Congress of the United States being required to pass a certain bill before a certain hour at the dictation of certain men who sat in the gallery with their watches in their hands threatening ruin and disaster to the nation if there was the smallest failure to satisfy their demands." Mr. Roosevelt then referred to his policy toward labor unions when he was President, emphasizing the settlement of the anthropecoal strike. "JUSTICE FOREMOST." "I believe in labor unions," he continued. "But I believe first and foremost in liberty and justice obtained through the union to which all of us belong, the union of all the people of the United States. I believe in the eight hour day as the general rule toward which we must strive, but I recognize that special needs must be met in special, industries, and that in all such cases there must be very careful consideration of all the conditions, before final action is taken. In this case, however, the eight hour day, is not the issue. The issue is an increase of wages, given by law, without previous investigation or knowledge. The principle of the eight hour day is not at issue and is adroitly invoked merely to cleak the real issue. "There was but one course that could rightly have been taken, and that the perfectly rimple course. The President had ample knowledge. He had many weeks in which to secure proper action and if either would not agree to such action he had ample time in which to get Congress to give him any power necessary in order to deal thoroughly and without difficulty with the situation. If the regular Board of Mediation and Conciliation was inadequate, he should have at once appointed a special commission, which would have included men thoroughly acquainted with the situation from the wage workers' standpoint, possessed of an understanding sympathy with the wage workers, and incapable of being bullied or of being influenced in any improper manner. DOUBTS PRESIDENT'S SINCERITY "If the improper course which the President followed had been due to mistaken conviction, to erroneous principle, its effect would nevertheless have been evil. As it is, the effect is far worse, because there is grave reason to believe that the course he followed was directly opposed to his real convictions. The President now is a candidate for office and speaks well of labor. Until he became a candidate for office, and as long as he was president of a university, he, with entire safety, ignored or assailed labor unions. Indeed, he was his bitter, ungenerous and often unjust critic. At the People's Forum on February 25, 1905, he said: 'Labor unions drag the highest man to the level of the lowest.' In an address at a dinner in the Waldorf-Astoria on March 18, 1907, in speaking of the capitalists, he said: 'There is another equally formidable enemy to equality and betterment of opportunity, and that is the class formed by the labor organizations and leaders of this country.' In a letter written January 12, 1909, he said: 'I am a fierce partisan of the open shop.' In June of the same year, speaking at Princeton, he said: 'The usual stand- Do You Well, here it is The Detachable I traveling bag or t consignment of the Thirty Dolla brella, lady or gen upon receipt of the For every cent coupon for that an Coupons and secu Voting Coupons, t Office and inspect When you purc cents worth of Cou them to The Planet Umbrella.

The labor of America is rapidly becoming unprofitable under this regulation. Our economic supremacy may be lost because the country grows more and more full of unprofitable servants.' I have no question that when Mr. Wilson thus spoke he expressed his sincere convictions. Less than two years later he was in public life and immediately his attitude changed. There is no reason to believe that his convictions changed. "The course actually followed, by the President and the majority of Congress put the interests of the country second to consideration of unhealthy political expediency. "By his actions President Wilson did lasting harm to the nation. The vice of his procedure was four-fold. He delivered a deadly blow at the principle of industrial arbitration. He immensely weakened the power of the National Executive to act under such conditions on behalf of the public. He established the shameful and perilous precedent, that the government of the United States can be coerced, and legislation extorted from Congress, by terrorization and the threat of violence. He aided in securing a settlement which puts a premium on the overriding of justice by appeals to brute force."—New York Herald. Subscribe to THE PLANET. Only $1.50 per year in advance. antanUros.

LANET Richmond, Virginia 213 Artist WILL SUPPRESS ALL GAMBLING AT THE STATE FAIR. (Evening Journal.) Chief of Police Louis Wernor today announced that gambling in any and all forms will be taboo at the state fair this year. The chief has picked forty officers who will be charged with the duty of seizing that the law is enforced. They will be under direct command of Captain Sowell. This is taken to mean that all games of chance, such as have been allowed at the fair in years ago, will be discounted. The wheel of fortune, the paddle game and many other means by which visitors at the fair have been in the habit of wagering their coin—the lucky ones blankets and bath robes. Teddy bears, wooly dogs and English sparrows painted yellow to impersonate canary birds will all go by the board or will come before the hard oaken board behind which Justice Crutchfield sits every day. Hitherto the Wahoo Lano has been crowded with booths providing popular forms of amusements. It is said that last year approximately two-thirds of the money spent at the fair went by the lottery route. In exchange for the money, people received a small percentage of value; in many cases the value of articles won after scores had contributed as much as 25 cents each was said to reach not as much as $1. Every officer stationed at the fair is under instruction to arrest any and all violators of the law. No license having been granted for the sale of liquor at the fair and none will be permitted to be sold. There will also be no "silent" saloon an Umbrella Company will give to reduce its length and into the Umbrella.

SALL RIGHT SALL RIGHT WE'LL KEEP AIR under the grandstand, no matter if liquor is given away. There is a special act on the statute books which makes all form of chance game against the law. In addition to this the last legislature passed a stringent anti-gambling bill. Under this new law, while the person who takes chances in one of the games may not be construed to be gambling for money, the proprietor of such a place may be prosecuted. It is said, however, that cane racks and spot the spot games, in which the skill of the individual regulates the returns, will be allowed. Following is the new anti-gambling law: "Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia. That it shall be unlawful for any person to bet, wager or play at any game for money. Any one violating the provisions of this act shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction thereof, shall be fined not exceeding one hundred dollars or imprisonment in jail not exceeding sixty days, either or both. The circuit or city courts and justices of the peace shall have concurrent jurisdiction in the trial of all cases under this act, and the accused shall have the right of appeal from the decision of the justice to the circuit or city court.

Next Sunday Another Adventure of "Beatrice Fairfax" and New Pictures Copyright, Star Company, 1916, All Exclusive Rights Reserved WONDER what would have been Donald Jordan's fate if Howard Barron, city editor of a journal, had not noticed an inconsequible item he wrote that would have been the end of Dorothy McKay's love story if James Barron, reporter, had failed to make good on his promise to write a book that cult assignment which Barron gave him one morning. Before I tell you the strange story of "The Stone God," we will discuss a paper custom that is everywhere prevalent. Because different minds react to different stimuli the editor of one paper on reading suggests a big story to him, while to the editor in whose paper he finds these items they seem good only for a line or two. The newspaper goes ever dozens of exchanges looking for suggestions. He blue-penalties those which seem to him to offer promise of events in the story. He varies the word on them. "If sometimes seems to make an important word in the English language, on an 'If' the greatest terms of fate and chance those which seem to him to offer promise of events in the story. He varies the word on them. "The Great Stone God of India, would have assumed to his vetarieties all powerful to. Touch into the into the Western World and to embrace good with the world and the penalty that betrays, 'bewailers.' To me the story I am going to tell you seems to be the love tale of Dorothy McRay. I think it is a story of the city editor headed his story "British army officer meets violent death." It is all a matter of accent. It depends on whether you think love or mystery or the passion for love. It is the strange tale which began what this letter was brought to me at the close of my days work. Dana Hale Fairfax: My father has quarrelled with the man I love. Would it be right to slope? Could you come and talk to me? DOROTHY McRAY 220 Palm Road. New York City. There was nothing particularly startling about that letter, and if it had come to me I would have supposed it. I should never have noticed it. But that happened that this letter came in at the psychological moment when it was bound to claim attention. I would close up my desk for evening when Jimmy Barton came into office looking puzzled and discouraged. His usually fluent typewriter gave a click or two and then stopped as if inspiration and facts were at play. Uttar djection appeared to have possession of the usually smiling Jimmy, so I decided on a little home missionary work and invited Mr. Barton to come home with me for He insisted that he hadn't time for that, but that he'd like to take me out to dinner and tell me his troubles. Just as we were leaving the old school game, I picked it up carelessly enough glanced at it and put it in my pocket. At that juncture chance and circumstance did not allow me to put that letter in my pocket—if I had left it for the next morning's mail—the fate of a great many people must have been an accident. But I did thrust that letter carelessly into my pocket, and it dropped to the floor just when Jimmy and I were finishing dinner in a quiet corner of the English grill. I was sitting at the square, heavy English writing, "Looks more like a love letter than a letter about love," he complained. I moved the mood for banter, so I showed the letter across the table. Jimmy read it eagerly he reread it—then he leaned across the table and spoke in a queer, breathless voice. I seem to be writing another story for use in work out in collaboration, Miss Beatrice. 230 Pelham road. It looks to me as if we were on the track of something big. I have to look at it like I love you what looks to me like a part of this girl's story. Will you listen? "In your own language, Mr. Barton, I'm the one who lives in this neighborhood." I laughed lightly. But for five long strenuous hours after that I did not laugh again. The moment she followed me brim with the greatest elements of humanity's story, love and hate; superstition and dogma; race loyalty and the lust for vengeance. And they led two men to death another to the verge of a strangest doom. For a Dorothy McRay, her love story must have had an ending so hideous that it would have haunted her. Her days, days, days, days. Had not been woven in a deft pattern, starred with colors, bright enough to show a strange wood of Oriental design and treachery. Not only the story just as he told it—with a much of Jimmy's pictureque and vital slang as a mere woman can remember: "Barnes handed me a jolt this morning when he gave me what looked like a baby reporter. Here's the chipping he had been pencilled for me to follow." Jimmy handed me a crumpled ollipting the head of which read: "Indian Prince" in Billowen. Raju Raja from Calcutta. Through the smaller type of the item below this head was a blue line, and penalized across it in Barner scrawl: "Interview this fellow, looks like a nice amputation, doesn't it grinned Jimmy. What is this, it had to. I had a shave and a pledge to doll and got into the Billowen chase, and then I marched over to the interweaved one after hard gotten his call-down over the those that All Jaheel Raju of Calcutta was not giving interviews, so that did and did more brave thinking, if they did didn't want to give interviews to the many Raju J. Barner wanted to interview him.

Now, Miss Bieberle and I now to picture friend Jimmy standing on a little table and peeping through a big transom. I know she was a girl, but I don't know until you revolutionize the whole newspaper game I guess big stories will continue to overhaul. "To the room in comes a chap I take to be our friend All, all dressed up in the robes I know go with the priests of Budda, and All graciously bids him to rise. Then the perfect asks a question and the caller replies. "I was not quite positive of what I heard it connected to," he said. "I am ham road. Does that interest you, Miss Fairfax?" I looked at Dorothy McKay's letter lying on the table pearing through the transom. She seemed suddenly fraught with mystery and strange portent. "I want to interest you," said Jimmy similarly. "Want to hear the next chapter? . . . Well, we left Jimmy on the table pearing through the transom. The priest talked a good deal louder than the priest, so I got what he said. The next bit of repartee which came my way was: "Each look at it. With my eyes I have seen it." "Miss Fairfax, I had a sudden feeling that whatever it 'twas I was wanted to see it; 'toughed out my memento and my sorrow, and sending about those Eskimo Indians chap that just about hypnotize a fellow. And that stranger salamaded so respectfully when he spoke of it 't that all I could think it might be that I had a little trinket of Buddha or some little trinket like that!" Neither Jimmy nor I could possibly have imagined how much more "it" stood for to those Buddhist priests than would even a priceless pigeon blood ruby from the forehead. "At the very end and only, Rajo All spoke loud enough for me to hear. It was only one word—but that one word was: 'Tonight. To-night!—I wanted to go there anyway to try to help Dorothy McKay.' I said. "And I've got to go theres now that I'm sure of the address which I didn't quite get. My wife was in the office with my. I've just one more useful bit of datum, Miss Beatrice. You see, I followed that Indian after he left the Raja's room at the hotel. And he led me to a cross street, where he finished into an empty-looking place with a big 'For Sale' sign across the front of it. "I got THAT number all right—and now, with the number you have, I think we're on the way to the office." It's my number. What do you think about it? We wasted no more time in imagining what we were going to get—but set out at once to get it. The Mallay cottage was exactly the sort that the ladies would have liked, but then the daily five o'clock in should had its setting. But as we drove up in the taut which the sudden need of hoste had made us, the ladies were in the air, and the first to greet us as we started the path was a uniformed policeman, who turned into the gate just ahead of us. Without stopping to analyze my seating, I rushed up the path after Jimmy put his foot on the ground. We followed him, we followed the bread hall and followed the sound of the servants into a room which was a hive in every scene get. My eyes were on the books, looking the door from door to ceiling. The French window were closed and the curtain down. The girl was almost alone. A girl was behind the room a dress. From the back door. On the floor lay the body of a missing looking man of between fifty and thirty. His head was set in an ugly mask—it portended great hatred and something of terror. If Henry, a stranger who I passed by, was bound to my hands, I write I photo and I hope his subservience Running at th Above the body stood an moist, good-looking chin in whose hand was a smooth-stained knail. A male stood shrinkling back at intervals with an almost automatic effort. The policeman spoke to the girl: "Do you know who this young fellow is? Can you think of any motive why he'd want to kill your father?" The girl looked at her questioner for a moment and sat in her curtsey and on approach on his prisoner. She opened her lips to speak and then stumbled back and fell fainting in my arms. "As soon as the girl is in a little better, you'd better come along with me, Miss Fairfax, Fairfax," I said. "Walt! I cried impatiently. "It'll be too late after a white," said Jimmy—but he thought he was speaking in something the officer had said rather than to me. At last our efforts were rewarded and that expression people often have when they come suddenly from the world of unconsciousness back to the world where they must be. "I am Beatrice Fairfax, dear. I came in answer to your letter. I want to help you, but I can't help me. I want to help you all this world so much now as just to help you." Beatrice Fairfax—you want to help me, must you vaguely. And then she fell to sobbing. "The mald can take care of her now, Miss Beatrice, but you should help if you need to sobbing," said Jimmy. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 28. 29. 30. 31. 32. 33. 34. 35. 36. 37. 38. 39. 40. 41. 42. 43. 44. 45. 46. 47. 48. 49. 50. 51. 52. 53. 54. 55. 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. 66. 67. 68. 69. 70. 71. 72. 73. 74. 75. 76. 77. 78. 79. 80. 81. 82. 83. 84. 85. 86. 87. 88. 89. 90. 91. 92. 93. 94. 95. 96. 97. 98. 99. 100. Outside the shrine of Buddha The girl opened her eyes suddenly and stitched me. Suddenly the doogees of a crowd mobbed her, and she was enduring terrible stress and strain. Dorothy McHay felt that she must tell her story—she had to give herself the relief of work. "Please don't go—wait until I tell you," she cried—"Till tell you everything; please wait." Ten minutes' muttered Jimmy in my car. "Till give you ten minutes with this cheerful young person." Dorothy's story. She loved Donald Jordan, the man whom the policeman had placed under arrest. Her father had felt a strange animosity toward the young man, and he had taken a violent stand in the matter. That day, however, he had come upon Donald, and Dorothy and had fairly torn his career out of the arms of the man she loved. Then he had ordered Donald out of the house. The younger man replied angrily, and he had shouted at Donald. Finally Donald had raised his hand in fury and had shouted wildly: "Till marry her, and heaven help you if you stand in my way." I saw the question in their troubled depths. Dared she trust Donald Jordan—trust him in spite of those haughty words. "Till truly be grateful for the indifference, dear—perhaps he did not do it," I said weakly enough. For I too, was sharing Dorothy's tortured suspicions that the man she loved But afterward when we were on our way to follow his line—the forlorn hope that we would be taken into his life, which he had seen the East Indian turn that afternoon—Jimmy confessed to me that the only logical way and was told that McHay had tried to kill him. He was for Dorethy and that the convict young lover had killed the man in a burst of passion. But so Dorothy Jimmy made no such confession. He managed to tell the inflicted man that he followed the instinct which made Jimmy feel that that mysterious interview between Prince AN and his fellow had a double connection with the murder of Christoph Holkay. He went on to follow a story which came with me and notes to a story which came up in an effort to prove someone. There was a reason why Prince AN of Colchester had travelled near the ocean to seek Holkay. Jimmy had followed the mysterious person who had been acquired to AN's premises into that gleam house to which we were brought in to pursue purposes that they were meant to pursue. at the Hipp do but hand the key to the door what do the door the boy do but lead the girl to the guest, straight The officer seized the man who held the knife, and silenced him when he made an offer. Then he turned to another girl who was larking so far back in the shadows that I had not noticed her. She was a remarkably young woman. But her face had a look of horror and suffering such as I have never before before on that of any human creature. I must be Dorothy McRay and that the man who lay dead at her feet was her father. But was she the handsome young fellow from whose bloodstained purity "Walt" I cried impatiently. avenge its goals, tell me that Christopher McGymey doo was written in the Book of Fats twenty-five years before. He turned to an unfurnished room on the floor of which a group of his compatriots were sitting smoking and quietly discussing the plans to which he had been bound. Faith had bound them. Philosophy is cold—the East is philosophical. "This was their watchword: 'Buddh will be a man of wisdom.'" Malo Jaleb of Calcutta, seeks shall be ours again. Buddh will be avenged." Twenty-five years before a young offspring of the Buddha was born, a young girl who came out from home to his bride. The daredevil of the British cavalry adored the lovely young creature who broke a jungle port where, he was stationed. the wred they sci- ust in con. in help make lis ved THE FEDERAL NATIONAL HISTORY MUSEUM The captain entered and went to his side. now nigger met the demands of the plum, he took the knife and seemed an allon to the East Indian. The priest was young and hot-blooded. He drew a knife and threatened the captain, the englishman tore his revolver from its holster in self-defense and in attempting to strike the knife from the priest's had be brought down the door. He was now in a felled senseless before the altar of Buddha. He had offended—and to no purpose. His bride's happiness was no nearer. Her demeanor was striking one Brahmin before the altar of his gods, had won the hatred of the whole Brahmin caste. The captain stooped over the senseless body of the priest and seized the squat black figure of Buddha. In the flocking light he almost fancied that it looked like a dragon. All was quiet in the little stone temple of Buddha. Before the decorated altar of his god the young priest lay motionless, silent and still. The incense sent up gray spirals of smoke. The young English captain sped home to his bride with the stolen idol. He had given it to the priest, and that was the end of the story, he thought. Silence in the Temple of Buddha. And then—perhaps it was a moment of the young priest—perhaps it was a part of the East holds some strange possibilities which we of the West can never understand—but suddenly a queer radiance lit the room and passed through the walls upon it and then stepped slowly to the ground. He lifted the knife which had fallen from the hand of the young priest. Slowly the Brahmin raised his head, took the knife and then the vision of Buddha faded from his eyes. But the young priest knew how Buddha had beaved. The god had given his command. And if Jimmy Barton had stood outside of the house to which he had followed the mysterious East Indian he would have heard the voice of Buddha told by the young priest himself. For All Jaibel, Raja of Calcutta, was the priest, and Christopher MoRay the Englishman on whom Buddha had commanded him to take vengeance. And I found the deserted house where, just after afternoon All had told his followers the story which I have written down for you—the story of the Stone God—it stood silent and forbidding the East holds some strange possibilities feels always in empty houses. podrome which the East Indian might be seated to the world forever if the only man who possessed the knowledge of the courtmen were dead, the outfits at the window parted and All leaped across the room. His hand was the knife which the young priest of Buddha had coassorted to revenge twenty-five years before. The knife lifted, flashed and fell. Christopher McRoy reeled his finger and pointed to the priest of Buddha spoke in a voice which held the pant-up hatred of twenty-five years. "Do you remember ma'? asked All. Gasping in agony, McRoy looked at his enemy. And now Buddha's vengeance was completed. He was upon him. For this he had waited through long years. The terror of this had walked at his side. It had made him the victim of being alone, and because of it he THE MISSING MAN AND THE WOMAN bad been unwilling to let Dorothy marry. Because of his haunting fear—his triptice to dead love—he had denied Dorothy living love. Some of the fear and terror the man had experienced in Mahud, waiting outside for his master, All. "The dog of an Englishman—infidel and unbeliever that he was. One could see on his face that he had known—that the fear of him was so strong down the years with him," answered Mahud. I shivered a little there in the black hallway. I wondered what treatment Mahud would mete out to us, infidel and unbeliever. I was standing at the secret conclave of his people. The Indian Mahud spoke again, and at the bitterness of his tone I crept closer to the door. Budha—where is Buddha? cried the other Indians. "You do not ask, 'Where is All Jabelil?' Do you forget your master? It was he who said, 'Where is All Jabelil?' And his smile became still more evil. "Where, then, is All Jabelil?" As the Indiana meaned the words they sounded like a man, "Where is All Jabelil?" There was a moment of breathless stillness while I waited for the answer. Where was All Jabelil? Perhaps even now he was All Jabelil? Through the dark house with the figure of the Stone God held above him as a tallman. Where, then, is All Jabelil? spoke Mahathma. Side the window, helpless to interfere, and that what came to pass happened quickly. He spurned the dying man with his foot and side the window, helpless to interfere, and that he swung open the inner ones. I looked and there on an altar stood Buddha. Even that ours. Englishman man must have been outside. Then he, in a flash, as he pulled open wide those inner doors, I saw a heavy service revolver such as the dogs of England man must have been working on the altar where Buddha stood. When the doors were opened wide a wire fastened to it would pull back the trigger. But it was too late. Our master All fell dead." There was a moment of silence. And then, a shout went up: "But Buddhai Our God! is still in the keeping of those accursed English. There is a daughter, Illumina must be staged." Juddin McRay—and the Indians did not propose that their god should be kept longer from the altars of his country. Unless Jim Lippert was in Dorothy McRay at once and bear her a warning, her life itself might be forfeited. Jimmy voiced my thoughts: "We've got to make quick a getaway unless Palrafix. We quickly have a protector. Father is dead—and the chap she wanted to marry can't do much to protect her, for the police have him. We must get out of here before the council." "Yes. We have all the evidence we need to save Donald Jordan, and the point is to save the witnesses for the defense," said L. We we reckoning without our host, which is human fair godmothers and godfathers have. As we turned we beheld a menacing figure at the head of the altar. He stood there, and we seemed almost as if he dissolved into space. As we found later, he went down the stairway again on noiseless felt-shod feet. And then on so modern an instrument as a steam pipe, we lowered a lower door to the council in the upper room. We stood in the minister circle of alien grub quite helpless. I thought of the girl he had tried to bedfaced the girl whom he story must have so end an ending if I did not not live to tell her the truth. Mineral hold up his hand defiance and he pressed the one with his terrible shame and he I knew with the elaborate manner of the most which, when it appear most nervile, in often Every Tu most triumphantly masterful. "You shall hear our decision, madam, since our affairs interest you so much." The man, and listen, too, white memahmil, since your memahmil women to their council fires." said Mahmud. "Shara All Jaibal, Rajo of Calcutta, gave you the sword, shall not be in vain. Do you understand?" "No," said Jimmy. "Lay your cards on the table. Talk English. No diplomatic palver "It shall be as you wish." said Mahmud. "All died for Buddha. Twenty-five years of his life he gave to planning how he should save Buddha from the indulges—an English sacrilege of his theft. That is not enough." "All died, too. He must be avenged—and Buddha must be returned to the stone altar." The man reached out from beyond the grave to kill All. All shall reach out from beyond the grave in his turn. Buddha—and the life of Sahib McReyn daughter. The little white memahmil shall die. Now is it clear? Now you see the cards on the table." "Will you let the white memahib speak?" I asked. "Before you die?" said the boy in a voice which even then in that moment of doom I felt no place anywhere in the world except in a comic opera with a libretto by George. I great deal depended on that permission. If Maimun had refused, I wonder what would become of us. For if I was permitted to speak I had thought of a way that possibly would open window and leashed against it as if I were collapsing and needed the support of a sitting posture against the window still, a spoken hand behind me, behind him. Perhaps our taxi driver had ingored and would see the signal. Steadily and quietly I waved my hand, and Maimun took his hand. "I'm take him. He only came to help me. I am the helper of all those who love. The man whose life your god demanded was cruel to his daughter—he would not let her marry beloved—hated them both. Do you see? "Now, if you kill the girl and let the boy die for the father's death you will only be saved. I will not be filled your god. Do you want to do that?" I had struck the right note. My words made an impression on the emotional face of a woman's darling to speak to them—but I think it was their hatred of Christopher McKay which made them unwilling to do anything which might have pleased him in life. She was in an inner room, and leave Mahmud to guard us while they conferred and decided how to dispose of us. I know whether or not they would have shown mercy. Mahmud stood at the door, a cold, inplace figure. He held a gun—weapon of the young Western civilization levelled Jimmy. He first signaled his outrage and held Jimmy's eye, as they caught him, flashed a signal as clear as if he had spoken. That signal said: "We must take this fellow if he turned to the window and brazenly and openly I signaled to the pitfall empty space, where I knew all too well no friend in the world would help to help. Mahmud sprinkled water to see what hidden reinforcements there might be without. And in the same moment Jimmy's fingers found the throat of our sentimental and body pressure choked him into immobility. Quickly Jimmy tore the robe and turban of his coats from Mahmud's body. As quickenly he came to the side of the room and slung on the robe and turban, which seemed suddenly to transform him out of all semblance to the Jimmy Barton of the Journal of Boddington. Then Jimmy took the gun with which Mahmud had threatened us and fired a shot. The explosion brought the Indiana troopers to the room, and smoking pistol levelled at the figure in the corner. The pantomime was clear to the Indiana. Mahmud had killed the American and was taking his woman. Respectfully enough from the room through the path to the freedom his stratagem had created. A second later Jimmy had half-pulled, half-carried me down the stairway and into the room. The masquerade had been discovered and Mahmud was staggering ahead of his followers who came to bring us the sure doom our darling had been forced to drive. $8,000 is a clever chap, and his curly red head covers a quick and active brain which must be a joy to all who know him. In record time, he had started his car and pursued by anything more dangerous than shouts and objurgations we were careening around the corner on one wheel—and that one wheel was distinctly without the speed "220 Palham Road," shouted Jimmy to our flying charioters. I felt like part of a kaleidoscope in vigor as we approached the gateway of 220 Palham Road. Even there had proceeded cautiously and circumspectly while we had been whirling through a chapter. Eastern lore. Western lore. Moving to lore. Grace and unwraps itself from its mufflings of red tape but slowly. As we came up the path leading to the house, I heard a voice speaking with quiet confidence. "You will have to arrest you on a charge of murder." Donald Jordan, protecting vigorously the while, was setted by a detective who was leading him grimly away. Suddenly Dorothy's self control broke. Her blonde suspicion could turn into a vision of Donald paying the penalty for his crime must have softened her heart; for now she burst into wild weeping and flung her arms which were held out to enfold her. Jimmy and I were rushing up the path to bear witness for the innocent young lawyer. Jimmy was an incongruous enough figurer. And the robes which belonged and added an element of vision of the trousered legs beneath them. Jimmy Barton certainly did not look like a Heaven-sent messenger, but I am sure朵朵 was also when he cried out dramatically; "The murderer of Mr. McRay is in the vault!" He crossed over the heavy steel door of the great vault and threw it open. Face down,朵朵 was shaken, and the Buddhist priest, and, smiling inscrutably above him, the figure of Buddha squatted on the shelf which had been a shrine to the love of Christopher McRay's body had been carried away to be prepared for its last sleep. Shara All would be given to his followers, and the Stone God, with its inscrutable jade and the fierce dragon, would be taken to the far-away stone temple where Christopher McRay had paid tribute to a love that was some day to cost his life. "I guess there no need for us any more,"朵朵 said. "It's some best for you, you don't it Mr. Barton?" But I guess there aren't any 'love' around here needing to be won." The detective grinned in trepidation to where Donald Jordan stood holding Dovothy in his arms, dutying away his love to present him, since she had 'love to present her.' And from his niche in the cowl bell, to hear him, the Stone God grunted at us with alarm even that were inscrutable, but seemed to love him. (Another admonitor Ward Hutch.) | ee | FLORENCE, S. C.
