NET EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS THE AMERICAN BANKERS ASSOCIATION—GREAT THIRFTH CAMPAIGN — FIFTEEN THOUSAND THRONG CONVENTION HALL When I arrived at my temporary home Tuesday night, in Dr. Thompson's automobile, I was tired. I assisted him in placing his car in the garage. He was in good humor and a few moments later, both of us had retired. I went to my room to rest and he went to his quarters to await a summons to the bedside of some suffering patient. LATE IN RISING The next morning I was late in arriving, reaching the front porch to secure the morning's paper at about 7 o'clock. It may be interesting to state that Dr. Thompson's young son, Solomon, is becoming an adept on the violin, although the doctor asserts that he does not practice enough. I am fond of music, and with Miss Louise at the piano and "SoI" with the violin, I enjoyed myself. Mr. Thompson's home was originally in St. Louis, Mo. THE STUDENTS' GREETING. After breakfast, I went to my room and roasted. On Tuesday morning, I had visited the Lincoln High School in Kansas Cit, Kan., of which Prof. J. R. E. Lee is principal. The cordiality of the greeting astounded and pleased me. Just imagine a large auditorium filled with students, male and female, greeting you with hand-clapping followed by a college yell, and this in turn followed by silence, and you have an idea of just what kind of welcome I received. I felt like talking after that. The school orchestra rendered a selection, and I said as much in ten minutes as I ordinarily would have spoken in ten hours. MODERN SCHOOL STRUCTURES I visited the Summer High School on Wednesday at 1:30 P.M., and I spoke for half an hour. These institutions are under colleged principals and teachers and they have been brought up to a high state of efficiency. The buildings are modern. Manual training constitutes a part of the curriculum. I had decided to attend the great thrift meeting at Convention Hall. This immense structure seats 15,000 people. When I alighted from Dr. Thompson's Hudson car, I saw white people thronging the entrance. Only members of the American Banker' Association and their immediate guests were permitted to enter the doorway to the main floor. Police-officers and Committeemen were there to enforce this rule. I entered and found that the mystic button on the lapel of my coat was the "open sesame" here. I found a seat about midway of the snacious edifice, and after I began to look around, to my surprise, saw that I was seated in front of the box occupied by the leading officials of the American Banker' Association. There were vacant seats about me, but these rapidly filled, and I was lost in the town. Magnificent it all was for the hall was decorated with hunting and floral designs. At the entrance a canvas had been stretched. Electric lights, with dazzling brilliance, studded the ceiling. The two tiers of galleries were packed with a surging mass of humanity. The wealthy were there on the main floor. Ladies, elegantly gowned, formed a scene in conjunction with the ornamental surrounding of loveliness that may have been at sometime equalled, but never surpassed. Just a short distance back was the moving picture machine, and 8:20 P. M., the Convention Hall was darkened and then was portrayed "The Dollar and the Law." THE OFFICERS APPLAUDED. A humorous selection was first shown, however. Then followed scenic views of the New York offices of the American Bankers' Association. The fine, palatial quarters showed up well. As the pitures of the officers were shown, generous applause followed. In there figured General Secretary P. E. Farnsworth, Assistant Secretary W. G. Fitzwilliam, General Counsel Thomas B. Paton, Secretary of the Sayings Bank Section M. W. Harrison. The pictures were admirably staged. THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT. re-double their efforts to improve it? TOLD OF THE MEETING. I was walking up to the steps of Dr. Thompson's mansion when I remembered that it was really all over I told him about the magnificent scene and then hastened to my room and gave myself up to pleasant dreams. It was Thursday morning I awoke with a start, and soon after 6 o'clock went downstairs to read the morning's papers. Dr. Thompson carried me to Convention Hall, where (Continued On 4th Page) Anniversary Celebration at Second Baptist Church.

Two of the leading churches in our state have extended this great soul winner a call, out still he goes on. Very few men but what wouldn't stop for these churches, but Dr. Skipwith thinks his calling is much larger. We hope, however, that he will consider one or the other, as we would like to have such a divine as him in the state. There isn't but one Evangelist Skipwith. He would add greatly to our state and denomination. Will he accept? --- —Mr. J. H. Ridley, of Newport New, called on us. Remember the Rountree-Cherry Corporation. You can find bargains there.

The Union League Business Club; of which Mr. Joseph Wooldridge is president; Mr. Jasper Logan, secretary, and Mr. Lee Holmes is chaplain, held 'Visitors' Day last Sunday, and quite a number of friends were entertained by them. Among the callers was Mr. Joseph Banks, who gave the guests a rare treat by his wonderful exhibition in ventriloquism. The afternoon was well spent and an enjoyable time was had with this young progressive club of the Southside. Departed this life Friday, October 6, 1916, at her residence, 723 W. Lodge Street, Nr.

Wounded Youth at Memorial Hospital. Assailant in Jail to Await Result of Injury. "A Woman in the Case." There was great excitement last Friday night shortly after 9 o'clock when four shots, fired in rapid succession aroused the neighborhood. Christopher Jackson, who resides at 28 W. Leigh Street, in company with a young lady, was found to be shot in two places, in the leg and in the left side. The bullet in the body is said to have struck the seventh rib and glanced. IN QUICK SUCCESSION. When the couple reached Leigh Street, almost in front of No. 204 E Leigh Street, Charles Saunders walked up to Chris Jackson, and after abusing him, drew a revolver and fired. A witness states that he took a drink with Saunders a short time before, and Saunders had declared his intention to kill Jackson for going with his girl. MEDICAL HELP SUMMONED The wounded young man went into the residence of Rev. J. Andrew Bowler, 112 E. Leigh Street, from which place medical assistance was summoned. Sanders ran away from the scene of the shooting. Sanders was rooming at 114 E. Leigh Street, Gordon Johnson, who rooms at 112 E. Leigh Street, is a friend of Jackson, and it was in Johnson's room that the wounded man was examined by the surgeon. The wounded youth was carried to Memorial Hospital. The underlying cause of the shooting of Christopher Jackson by Charles Sanders on Friday night, October 6th, has not as yet been told, but enough is known to convince the most skeptical "that a woman was at the bottom of it." A telephone message was received last Tuesday morning by Editor John Mitchell, Jr., informing him that Charles Sanders had given himself up. It turned out to be Charles Sanders himself, "Mr. Mitchell," he said, "I am about to give myself up, and I want you to publish a statement in your paper for me. I am now at the Police Headquarters on Broad Street and will soon go from here to the First Police Station. I wish you would come down and see me." AT THE MEMORIAL HOSPITAL. Editor Mitchell promised that he would do so. It was 12 o'clock when he started on his mission. Going to the Memorial Hospital, he was informed that visiting hours were at 2 P.M. He expressed his regret and asked the attendant to send his card in to the patient, Christopher Jackson. A gentleman attendant took up the card and after reading the name said, "That's all right. He can go down to see him." Going down stairs, a colored attendant pointed out the room in which Chris. Jackson was located. THE WOUNDED YOUTH There were several other patients there. On a bed in the corner, flat of his back, lay the young man sought by the editor. His face bore the expression of a sufferer. He was cheerful, however. He made the following statement: "I went down to Price's Hall with a lady and J——H——was down at Mrs. Monroe's, talking to some ladies, when I and this other girl passed. We had just come from Cardwell's, Miss S——and I having had some cream. We walked up the street, passed by Mrs. Monroe's and went into Price's Hall. DID NOT ENTER THEN. "When we got to the entrance of Price's Hall, this man Sanders saw us coming up the steps. He came out of Price's Hall and spoke. We looked in the hall and there was not enough crowd in there, at least, we did not know anybody in there and we wouldn't go in. When we came out of the hall, Sanders was standing down there talking to Mr. A. D. Price, waiting. We passed by him going towards Second Street. We ran up behind me and said, 'As soon as I get Daisy, I am going to settle all this.' ran up behind me and shot me. He shot at me five times. Three balls hit me. One went in my back, missed my heart, and went in my liver. One went through my left leg and the other one glanced my right leg. I ran to Mrs. Bowler's. They did everything they could and got a doctor. The ambulance brought me down here. DIDN'T KNOW THE REASON "I do not know why he shot me. This was not his girl. He used to go with her before she went to New York. My name is David Christopher Jackson. The surgeons got both balls by an operation. They cut me open to see if the ball had perforated my intestines. They found out that it had not." RECOVERY IN SIGHT This ended the interview. Editor Mitchell told him that the outlook for his recovery was bright. He spoke to some of the other patients. He asked Jackson, if he had seen Sanders outside of the hospital since he had been there. "I thought I saw him outside one day. Dr Moon has been outside when I said so, but he must have missed him. He said that he was going to kill me, and I thought he might try to shoot me through the window." A CALL TO THE POLICE STATION He uttered these words sadly, and Ettier Mitchell bid him good day and passed to the unlighted street on the outside, but not before thanking the attendant in charge, who had given him permission to see the dangerously wounded youth. Jackson resides at 28 W. Leigh Street. A call had come from the First Police Station before Editor Mitchell left the Planet office. The kind-hearted sergeant informed him that Charles Sanders was there and he desired to speak to him. IN A PRISON CELL. Accordingly, he left the Memorial Hospital and proceeded down Broad Street to the First Police Station. He was shown the cell occupied by Charles Sanders. He has straight black hair. He is about 5 feet 5 inches, of elm build and his complexton is very light brown. He gave his age as 38 years. Jackson is said to be 20 years of age. He recognized Editor Mitchell at once, greeted him cordially, and said: CAME FROM GEORGIA "I am from Savannah, Georgia. I came here in March, 1914. I was recommended here to Mr. T. M. Carrington by Mr. McCabe. I am 31 years of age. I will hear from the Mayor of Savannah, Captain Devant. I was formerly employed by Mr. Edwin M. Frank of West Broad Street. I have been handling automobiles since 1905. Asked as to the cause of the trouble, he replied, "It happened from gossip and threats." In reply to a query as to whether he had been by Memorial Hospital, he replied, "I have not been by Memorial Hospital. I have not been out of the house (Continued on Page Four.) REV. LUCAS RESIGNS FLUSHING, L. I. CHARGE. October 8, 1918. To the Ebenezer Baptist Church, Flushing, N. Y.—Dear Brother, and Sisters: Less than four years ago you invited me to become your pastor. I believed that the invitation was in accord with the will of God, and therefore I gladly accepted it, and undertook the work in this field. From the beginning of my pastorate up to the present time, I have endeavored to discharge my duties to the best of my knowledge and ability, and the Lord has greatly blunt us as we worked together. I found your church, as you will know, not in the best condition quaintly, and in quite a discomfurbed condition fundamentally, away from the usual routines we work. These open with the help of God, have been in a very remarkable degree, remediated, and today the financial part of the work is on a reasonably satisfactory basis, with peace, harmony and prosperity attending the work. I found here in 1913 a membership of 107. In three years and seven months seventy souls have been added, and the sum of $8,288.76 has been raised. I shall never forget your many deeds of kindness to me and my family, which deeds have helped to blind me to the good people of this field. Three times have I received calls to leave you since I came to you; one of these to teach in a great university, the other two to become pastor of large churches. All of these I have refused, feeling that my work here was not yet done. I feel, however, that the time has come for me to return to you the trust you reposed in me. I, therefore, present to you this my reservation, to take effect according to our agreement, three months from date—the second Sunday in January, 1917. I pray that the Lord's richest blessings may constantly be upon you, and that the guidance of the Holy Spirit may be yours. I beg to remain. ```markdown ``` ZIP! BIRD! BANG! GLASSES AND DISHES FLY AT CAVE WHICH REFUSED SERVICE. ```markdown ``` Mrs. Sadie C. Cole of 159 E. 29th street, proved herself worthy of being classed with those of whom we have read as heroes of bygone days, when she, alone and single handed, forced a dairy lunch room, located at 139 S. Broadway, to give her service last Monday evening. The following is the story from Mrs. Cole's own lips: I had been to the office of the chief of police on business regarding some settlement work. I came by this dairy and feeling tired, in company with Mrs. S. B Strickland, I decided I wanted a glass of buttermilk. I went in and asked for the same. The proprietor told me they did not serve it, but sold it in bottles. Seeing others being served I told him I knew better; he did He then said, "I don't serve your folks, and if I do it will cost you 50 cents. I told him I did not ask the price, and he brought me a glass and requested that I put up the 50 cents first. I told him I would not pay before I received it and then commenced to heave everything I could get my hands on, at him, including glasses, sugar bowls and everything loose, all of which struck their mark. By this time a great crowd gathered and the police arrived. They acted very courteous, they told the man they had not seen me do anything wrong and could not arrest me. They also told him that he had no right to refuse to serve people in the public place. I reiterated the stand I had taken, not to leave the place until I had been served and I was serviced paid the regulation five cents and departed. Mrs. Cole is one of our foremost citizens and one of the principal promoters of the Fifty Years of Progress held in this city about a year ago. She is prominent in church and club work. She says that she has brooded over the treatment accorded our people in this city and that she has come to the conclusion that if it costs her life that she will do something to assert the rights of a race and would willingly give her life as a sacrifice. When Mrs. Sadie Cole had made the prophetor of the dairy room come up with the right thing by being not afraid to assert her rights with rare courage, and not afraid to die, a prosperous and dignified white swifteeman walked up and congratulated her and said that he admired her stand and offered to pay for all she could drink.

Preparations for the Fourth Annual Meeting of the Negro Organization Society, which will be held at Roanoke, Va., November 8, 9, 10 are well under way. The people of Roanoke are enthusiastic about the meeting and a strong Committee on Arrangements is at work making plans for the entertainment of those who will attend. Indications are that a large delegation of earnest, public spirited men and women will journey to Roanoke for this occasion either as individual members of the Society or as representatives of organizations. Every organization among Negroes in Virginia should send at least one representative to the Roanoke meeting and no man or woman, who is really interested in the development of the colored people in this State should fail to be present. These annual conventions of the Negro Organization Society are regarded by many as being the most insipiring meetings that the Negroes of Virginia hold, and a very large majority of the leaders in the State are making attendance upon them a part of their annual program. So far as is known every one who has attended either of the former meetings has returned to his or her home with a deep feeling of practical benefit and enthusiasm in the cause of Negro uplift. The Romoke meeting promises to be as good and as helpful as either of the former meetings. Able and distinguished men and women of both races in and out of Virginia will speak. Among those who are expected may be mentioned Dr W. D. Weatherford, International Secretary V. M. C. A., Dr James P. Faulkner Executive Secretary Kaul Foundation; Mr J. H. Montgomery, Executive Secretary Cooperative Education, Dr James P. McConnell President Radford State Normal School, Mr J. B. Plero, District Negro Grov Farm Demonstration Work, Mr Arthur D. Wright, State School Inspector, Miss Lzie L. Junkins, State Industrial Supervisor Dr J. J France, Chairman Committee on Health. A number of persons will speak upon the improvement of particular conditions in their own communities and the usual interesting reports from delegates will be heard. Dr Robert R Moten, now Principal of Tuskegee Institute and President of the Society, will deliver the principal address at the big mass meeting of both races with which the convention will close. Persons expecting to attend the meeting or organizations planning to send delegates should write to Prof T C Erwing Field Agent, State Normal School, Potenburg, Va. for any desired information. The rates for board and lodging will not exceed one dollar per day and homes will be assigned in advance and due notice given to all persons who will make request for same to the Field Agent or to Attorney A J.

The campaign among the colored people of this city along the lines defined by the Savings Bank Section of the American Bankers' Association has received added impetus in the reception by the committee of the following communication from Governor H. C. Stuart, who was visited a short time ago by the persons specified and asked to send "a word of cheer" to the promoters of the movement: Richmond, Va., Oct. 6, 1916. Messrs. John Mitchell, Jr., Chairman; Thos. M. Crump, M. E. Davis, Special Committee of Centennial Thrift Campaign among Colored People, 311 N. Fourth St., Richmond, Va. My Dear Sirs: My hearty approbation and good wishes are yours in the campaign of education and practical work, which you propose to conduct for the promotion of theft among the people of your race. The lesson of economy and careful and thoughtful expenditure is one sadly needed by all races in our country today. Any effort at demonstration of the fact that living within one's means is a tremendous factor in the promotion of individual happiness and community comfort, deserves the fullest measure of success. Very truly yours. H. C. STUART, Governor. Mr. Jordan's Invention. Mr. Charles Jordan, of Pittsburgh, Pa. has been awarded on a trophy protector, which promises to revolutionize the present means of locomotion. It is easily attachable to any vehicle.

At that time the sturdy eleven of St Paul Normal and Industrial Institute of Lawrenceville, Va., will essay a victory over the Unionites. The visiting team has been dubbed the toughest little machine in the South, a reputation achieved through her records of close and hard fights with big schools. Not even Hampton champions of them all, could run away with the St Paul arrogation last year. However, Union is well fortified for the aggressive terrife onslaught of her visitors. Her footfall chronicles show that never before has there been such an aggregation of clever first string recruits, as now wear the variety toes. Never store has such a well-balanced team represented the red and steel. The line is exceptionally strong on both defense and offense, while the back field is the very essence of speed and versatility. When two such strong teams clash, who dares forecast the result?

C. was found dead in his room 606 East Grace Street, yesterday morning. He had been suffocated by gas which escaped from the jet in back regiment on the second floor. Hamlett was not a regular boarder, according to Mrs. Allen, the landlord, but had engaged a room Tuesday night at 10 a.m. for the night's accommodation. At 1 o'clock in the morning three hours later, a stranger, giving the name of V. H. Roe, also of Rocky Mount, came up to Paterson Room at the corner of Maple and Franklin Streets and enclosed him in conversation. He told his sister was missing from home, and that he was sure she was here in Rhode Island. He asked the officer what method he should pursue to locate her. The officer called Patrishen Harry F Sweet who worked in public children from the First Policeman Sentinel a memoir of the scared Tinsel Sweet Patrishen Sweet a scorpion that the man's sister Mary Merry twenty year old was remembered by the city being born through June 1914 Hamble on Sunday from Rock Mount The officer called Roxie ringing to the interior of the hospital rock a hotel and the old police playhouse of the Hall Park and the Stamford Hall and spared the plight. TOLD FRIENDS TRAT HE WOULD MARRY GIRL Patrickman Sweet meet Rose yesterday morning at 6 o'clock at the City Hall, and learned from them that her sister was in a delicate condition. Rose said that Handley had brought about his sister's unhiding. He asked the gifter to assist him in locating her Hamblet and the girl, he said left Rocky Mount on Sunday. In the meantime Hamblet had returned to Rocky Mount and told several friends that he had left the girl in a good place and would return to see her later in the way. Rose said he learned that her sister was in Richmond. After training several maternity hospitals the other called Mrs. Indre Rieke of the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court to see the Judge Hicks located the girl at the Virginia Home for Infant the West Clay Street. NO RECORD OF LICENSE IN It was nearly 9 o'clock yesterday morning when the officer had had the ear. In the morning the lieutenant body of Hustett had come from the room and turned over to an undertaker to be prepared for burial. Rose went at once the home and found his sister. She said that Hustett had called upon her the next previous, and had promised to secure a marriage license the following day, yesterday and return and marry her. He had already paid $50 for her care in the institution. Rose again returned to the City Hall and with Patrician Sweet invigorated the records of the Hustett Court to ascertain if Hamlett had taken out a marriage license. He had not Whether or not Rose or his sister knew that Randell was dead last night is not known. It is certain that Rose who called upon his sister late yesterday afternoon told her that he would go out and look for Randell and return when he found him. He had not returned last night. He had checked off at Stumpt's Hotel earlier in the day and did not return. POLICE FORCE THEIR WAY INTO GAS-FILLED ROOM Hamlett was found in his room about breakfast time yesterday morning. Escaping gas aroused the attention of Mrs. Allen, and she called in Patrolman Schlief. He broke in the door and found the body. Detective Sergeant Wily was called in to investigate, and he found $20 21 in Hamlett's pockets, and also a passbook on the Planters' Bank of Rocky Mount, which served to identify the young man. Captain of Detectives T. J. McMahon telegraphed to the officials of Rocky Mount, with the result that he was called over telephone in a short time. The chief of police of Rocky Mount said the young man was known there, and asked the authorities here to hold the body for further advises. J. C. Collins, an undertaker of Rocky Mount together with Herbert Hamlett, a cousin of the dead man, carried the remains back to North Carolina last night. The undertaker said that both families were well and favorably known in Nashville, N. C. Nashville, he said, was about six miles from the Rose farm. The personal effects of Cecil H. Hammell were turned over to him by Sergio Wily. Hamlett had a number of letters of recommendation from some large tobacco firms in North Carolina, addressed to any one who might desire to give him employment. He was said to be a young man of good habits and thoroughly reliable. In speaking of the case last night, Patrolian Sweet said that Rose told him that Hamlett was well able to take care of his sister. He said that he was ready to forgive Hamlett if he would marry her. He did not plan any violent action, he said, but had other here to insist upon the marriage—Richmond (Va.) Times-Democrat, Oct. 5, 1966. Talks on Banking The savings bank has been likened to a reservoir into which flow the little streams, to be assembled into one mass, out of which flows the larger stream, powerful because of its volume. The savings bank bestows its greatest benefits upon the individual and the community by this reservoir process. Scattered dollars are impatient dollars. Assembled dollars are powerful dollars. A thousand dollars divided among a thousand different men are of little consequence to the possessor or to the body as a whole, but when the thousand dollars are the property of one individual, they become of vastly more power than the sum total of the individual units. The congregated fund moves in one direction, and has a common aim, whereas the scattered dollars all have different units and aims. The beneficial work of the saving bank can be seen by a simple illustration, drawn from actual fact, and in process in saving banks every day. Let us assume that a hundred people have deposited ten dollars each in a saving bank, thereby making a fund of a thousand dollars under the control of the banker, one of the members of the banker, one of the members of a house, having the land paid for the applied to the bank for a loan of a thousand dollars and is granted the use of the money deposited by the other member of the group. The architects, the plumbers, painters, are employed and the fund begins to do their work. Each worker depends for his pay upon the saving bank, which will make advances from the time the work commences. Now the men who make advances from the time the work commences and make theumberman collects the work, wherever material is needed or is not needed, the other of this operation is felt. The bank of the money goes to labor to be spent for food, clothing shelter and equipment and all the industries that water the land of men for food and benefits. It goes from hand to hand down to the course of we have until eventually it finds the way back into the bank for a similar operation. When a bank of money becomes a bank of bonds, build a new bank with a city for effect payment, aware water parks, or the same result, follow the path the bank goes from the town that bank is in for immediate satisfaction of the wages of men as part of the war back into the town to be built with other thrift dollars to benefit the town. When it is recommended that a third savings bank in New York based on the book-teller account, one thousand and one hundred thousand dollars, be represented for millions dollars thus placed in circulation in the far far-reaching effects of the current bank will become manifest. We must thus well claim the savings to be a builder of cities for it has for a century been a building in many of the many cities and towns around the world, and to the few persons out with through the pay deposits for the cities. Every year we will build homes in a well designed street with the same design and the same style of architecture as the homes we build for the cities. We will build homes in a well designed street with the same design and the same style of architecture as the homes we build for the cities. We will build homes in a well designed street with the same design and the same style of architecture as the homes we build for the cities. We will build homes in a well designed street with the same design and the same style of architecture as the homes we build for the cities. PUTERSHURG NOTES. There is a great technological movement now being headed by former governor Mann. We hope that much good man come out of it. All of the Afro American plumbers failed to stand the test examinations which were held here a few days ago, while all of the resident white men passed with great honors. "Was the test fair to the stream that is run into the bush our knotty heads." Rev S. A. Brown of the Giffield Hartford Church, is one of the leading spells in the sociological movement that is on foot here. When colored men and women learn to think and act like white people relative to our race, and our minds become absolutely free in thought, then, and not until then, will we receive justice.

Harris, the real estate man, was at Sussex courthouse on business during last Tuesday. The question whether a lawyer has a right to pass the wine in a Baptist church, is a right which some of the saints in our churches fall to concede to the lawyers of this age. We should, on the 9th inst., pay our poll tax, and register, and then vote at all elections that we can according to law. The ballot carries with it freedom and justice. Hon. A. W. Harris, of Dinwiddle County, and Capt. Asle Rogers are among the few Mahone Republicans that can be seen daily passing in and about our streets. We hope in the near future to have Editor John Mitchell, Jr., to come here and speak to our people. The State Normal School opened with enrollment of 600 students with its young man, Prof. J. M Gandy, president. When the poor white man continues to cry, more laws against the Negro it is a sure sign that we are progressing here in Virginia, as elsewhere in this country. Rev. Frank Mason, of Jarrattle, Va., is in the city attending the convention of Watchmen. Suppose that the race should learn to stand together in state affairs and the people do in church affairs, would not we become a great element in this government? THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA (New York Evening Mall.) The latest estimate of Anglo-French losses on the Somme discloses the appalling price which the entente is paying for its victories. The Germans say that between July 1 and September 115 the British have lost 350,000 men in killed, wounded and captured, and the French have lost 150,000, making a total of 500,000 in less than eleven weeks of fighting. Granting that the German figures may be an overestimate of enemy losses, and deducting 20 per cent. from the total on that account, the price which France and Great Britain have paid for victories is still staggering. And what do the victories amount to? The avowed object of the offensive is to drive Germany out of France and Belgium. How near have the Franco-British sacrifices come to the accomplishment of their purpose? That question is easily answered by a glance at the extent of territory which the English and French have wrested from Germany since the beginning of the great "drive." That territory is not a matter of estimate or speculation. It is exactly measurable by miles and yards. The amount is 480 square miles. And that area is just 2 per cent of the soil of France and Belgium which the Germans have with high durations, since the battle of Maastricht. At that rate of progress how many millions of lives will the Germans have to sacrifice in order to achieve their desired purpose? Can France or England pay the price? Could any four great nations pay the price? ] To be sure the Germans are born to power in this terrible skirmish but their losses are not because as are those of the France 1858 armies. The Germans are eight defensive battles, and they are calculating to a ploy the grenade of men they can afford to lose or to frustrate British or French movements. On the Somme is in all previous wars in all history, it is the attacking side that is being for more bevy than the defender could be. It is a defender's answer that the enemy is designed to reverse the fortunes of war, the Somme offensive is a failure, and the situation on the west front is practically a deadlock. A similar condition of stalemate developed on the Volkstrom and Gabelstein fronts. The extent of the failure of the Russian Air Force as a defensive force of the war can be relieved when it is remembered that after all the threat of the German Austrian fire which have laid the Russians down for the past five months the Russians have unintended in recover considerably less than 1 per cent of the territory which the Austra Germanes took from them in the aggressive offensive of last year. And the best evidence of the failure of the Russian general staff to break down Austro German resistance is to be seen in the fact that the Russian offensive after five months of terrific effort an charismatically Russian direction of life a strong military force that on both west and east fronts the allied offensive has fallen so far short of the expected results that it may be recorded as a failure. The Italian successes are too trivial to count in any general summing up of results. Rebellie the Italian region. Here the first attack of the enemy is breaching more of a habilitation than an attack. Since her entrance into the war after two years of watch for written, Romania has lost more territories than she has gained. Her communications by sea with Russia are seriously threatened by the success of Mackenzie's blows on the Biberachia Containance line. The Bologna capital is in increasing danger of a Bulgar German attack. The Austro-Italian dash into Transylvania has been stopped, and the Austro-German are already beginning a movement which offers grave possibilities for the Romanian forces in Transylvania. The indications are that in the southeastern corner of Europe the decisive battles of the war will be fought. The results of the operation so far distinctly favor the Germans, and their allies. Despite the advance of the French and the Serbarians against the extreme right of the Bulgarians, the allies have not even begun the task of driving Bulgaria out of Serbia and breaking the "bridge" between Berlin and Baghdad. They are still fighting on Greek soil, and at the present rate of progress it would take a long time to drive the Bulgarians back to the frontiers which they traced with the sword in the previous Balkan campaign. And in this instance will bring an ally to the central powers. That ally is winter, a white and severe Balkan, winter—which will be felt much more keenly by the French and English on the offensive than by the Bulgarians on the defensive. With the breakup of winter will come the real test of the Balkan campaign. And that test, unless all signs fall will also be the test of the street struggle as a whole. TALKS ON THRIFT THE CHAMPION SAVER. NO. 23 To be singled out of a thousand people presenting a plan of life that best evidences the habit of thrift as applied to good living, and awarded the first prize of $50, is a worthy honor, to be coveted by any man. This happy experience has recently befallen the Rev. W. C. Poole, of Ocean City, Md., to whom the award was made by a committee of prominent bankers and business men, in a thrift context conducted by the New York Evening World. Mr. Poole's salary for the past sixteen years has averaged, but $778.15 made from home and donations. This is about $15 a week. He has earned $200, visited appraisements, traveled throughout New England by travel, bought books and memorabilia. and give to church and charity Mr. Poele never buys on credit. He says he has saved $160 a year by buying for cash and $150 on things he didn't buy, because he couldn't pay cash. He has kept strict account of all expenditures and each year he has tried to do better with the same money. He started, thriftward, by saving a day's week and has steadily kept it cheap. He appropriates ten per cent. for church and charity and ten per cent. for the savings bank. In his letter he says: "I have never spent a dollar for tobacco, drink, theatre, movies or so-called fashionable dress, but have met the requirements of a minister in all grades of financial and social life. When I cannot get what makes me glad I am, glad of what I get—or try to be. I have more to be glad of and less to be sad of than any one I know. I have not found any one with a better, financial system although I have sought for such. The above system was largely inspired by reading the autobiography, when I was a boy, of Benjamin Franklin. The reading of this book should be required of all Americans before they are allowed to vote." It would seem impossible on so small a salary to live decently and save money, yet Mr. Poole has done it. He has kept at his plan and has succeeded, as can every one who makes up his mind to save money and adopts a definite method. His two rules, "Never buy on credit and save something every week." Are sensible and sure to accomplish wonders if consistently followed. They are worth trying out. WILL RETURN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY TO POWER. Washington, D.C., Oct. 11 In appeal to the people to retire the Republican party to power we have confidence that the record of incompetence of the present administration will make him eligible for a nomination representative Thomas S. Kennedy of Pennsylvania a settlement given elsewhere by the National Republican Conference Committee. "One year and five months of Dear oak rule found the country with industries paralyzed, the Treasury almost bankrupt, our riot over the Panama Canal surmounted wages raised the cost of Indian increased and our army landed on Mexican soil our excuse of justification" concludes the report, who last Commander-In-Chief of the Navy of Foreign Wars "Then the war in Europe. The scaled war tax appear to be merely reserves because of war others, hard something diplomatic note are written the cry goes up. The President has kept us out of war, when in fact every move he made welcomed us in the estimation of other nations. For we committed acts of war against a weaker nation. Mexico has a terrible truce with nations we knew were strong. "The weakness of our foreign policies the record of broken plight the surrender of our rights, the useless expenditure of millions and the hypocrisy of Democratic legislation in American people has been severely tested. The Wilson administration went into power proclaiming "plenty publicity" and it will leave branded as a kam show secret Cabinet radio." "The public recalls the flames of Vera Cruz and President Wilson's maneuverable act in lifting the embargo on arms that our soldiers should more death from guns furnished by assassins by permission of our government. In this socialized place more lives have been lost and more money spent than we sacrificed in the war with Spain. If we are at peace, should more than a hundred thousand of our boys be paying the price of war, taken from home and families to play the game of peace? If we have been kept from war by any magic of the President, then how does it happen that Spain, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Holland and Denmark, countries much nearer the European conflict than we are have been able to maintain peace? With a great flourish of trumpet and roar, "assumed control and their armies" a divided central of broken promises and unfilled pledges. The issues of this campaign are "First tariff revision by the friends of a protective tariff, and no wealth hour conversion to the idea of a tariff board can feel the people." "Sound, an Americanism which would put the United States not only first among other nations, but would protect us from forces within which would destroy the foundation of justice on which our government is founded." Third a readjustment of the fiscal affairs of the government to the cost that the people, who pay the bills, shall have some say as to the amount and methods of expenditures." Editor.

WORK AND SAVE UP PLANET COUPONS AND SAVE AN UNBELIEVABLE OR A PREMIUM COUPON WITH A GOOD COUPON. THEY ARE INVESTIGATED IN THE WORK AND WANT TO WORK MORE FULLY. ALL BLOODLESS. Proceeding under the new law requiring his department to prosecute violators of the amended statute governing employment agencies. Labor Commissioner. Doherty, yesterday brought charges, against the American Labor Burau, a private agency conducting an office in the Foster Building, near Ninth and Franklin Streets, which resulted in a conviction and the imposing of a fine of $50 by Police Justice Crutchfield on the manager of the agency. The case was appaled. Complaints had been pouring into Commissioner Doherty's office from persons who charged that many of the private agencies in the city were willing the provisions of the new law requiring the reservation to return to applicants the reservation fee if no employment were provided within thirty days after enrollment. The law passed by the last Legislature to protect unemployed persons against the capacity of a few unprincipled agencies which collected fees from applicants for work without returning a service equivalent. STATE INSPECTOR APPLIES FOR POSITION. In order to procure evidence upon which to have an action in court, Commissioner Deberty delegated Miss Lillie M. Barbour, one of the department's inspectors, to apply to the American Labor Bureau for assistance in finding a position as clerk. The agency charged her a registration fee of $1 and undertook to play her After the expiration of thirty days' Miss Barbour wrote to the manager of the bureau calling attention to the fact that she had not been provided with a position within the thirty days prescribed by law, and asking if she were not entitled to a return of the fee. To this communication Miss Barbour received a reply from the agency stating that if she should need a position any time within the next two months the office would be glad to help her. The writer made no offer to return the fee. LEGALITY SAYS CONTRACT VIOLATES STATE LAW The language of this contract, Counselor Diberty body, undertakes to unify the protective clause of the new law, which provides that "the care of the applicant shall not obstruct the implementation of certain provisions such licensed agency within three days after restoration; after then said licensed agency shall have with respect and return to such applicant upon demand before made therefor the full amount of the fee paid is delivered by said applicant to said licensed agency." HAS ON FILE SENIOR COM. PLAINTS AGAINST AGENCIES Commissioner Deberty said that he had on the several other other complaints against the American Labor Bureau and other agencies, which would be reached in the proper order. The conviction of Manauer J. J. Anderson yesterday was on the one charge brought by Miss Barbour. One woman, sliming herself "A widow," wrote to Commissioner Deberty yesterday concerning a certain private agency as follows: "I am a widow and have a son and daughter. My daughter applied, to him for work and paid him $1. I won't give her the money back nor my daughter. I have asked her my daughter. I have asked to go to the Police Court. I know of others from whom he took money without giving them work. You ought to see that the law regulating these places advertised in the paper. The people don't know the law." Richmond TimesDispatch, Oct. 7, 1916. The geology of mountain rocks is generally more difficult to temper than that of plains, because the rocks have been more broken and tilted about, but the geology of certain parts of Mississippi is almost as difficult as that of a mountainous region, because certain widely distributed formations bear few definite identification marks, particularly remains and impressions of plants and animals that lived at the time the deposits were formed. A peculiar sandstone, which geologists have called the Catahula sandstone, has been studied with care by G. C. Matson and E. W. Berry, of the United States Geological Survey. Department of the Interior, who have been able to identify and follow the sandstone by means of the remains of plants Among the plants found were pines, ferns, leaves of date palm, tropical myrtles, ferns and a tree closely related to the present-day Mexican and Central American nopota, from which most of the material for chewing gum is obtained. These fossil plants show that at the time the sandstone was younger ago the climate of this region was tropical and houses of canals found by other geologists and the similarity of the sand composing the sandstone tropical dune mud. IT REALLY, HAPPENED! have a similar implication. The report describing these fossil remains (Professional Paper-28 M) is purely technical. A copy may be obtained from the Director, Geological Survey, Washington, D. C. REFUSED TO WORK WITH COLORED MECHANICS (Philadelphia Tribune.) On Lancaster avenue, at the intersection of 38th and Hamilton streets, a crowd of curiosity seekers have gathered daily during the week watching colored mechanics laying pressed bricks in the front wall of a building. Of course it's no new thing to have such work done. The novelty of the affair is that it is being done by, and in such a creditable manner by colored bricklayers. Those familiar with the fact that some of the handiest structures which have in quite recent years been erected in prominent cities in the Southland, were designed and erected by colored architects and mechanics. But white people of the Northland are ignorant of this part of this history, but are more familiar with his criminal record. The general ignorance of the real efficiency and proverbial industry of the colored mechanic caused curious crowds of people to gather and look on with astonishment at the men working on the beautiful coffee under course of construction on 28th street. And yet these colored laborers did not seek the notoriety they have received. It so happened that a Mr. Engle desired to build a hand-one garage and engaged workmen to erect it. Among those who applied was a colored man by the name of Jones L. Freeman. Freeman happens to be a skillful bricklayer and makes work on pressed bricks a specialty. It so happened that Mr. Engle is a commercial business man caring very little about the color of the man, who worked for him, designing only to have work done in a good workmanlike manner. But on the morning of men demanded their overall for work, the white man saw Jones Freeman, the colored man, with trawn in hand and then these white bricklayers told the boss they would not work with him. And that boss, after being inured by the colored man that he would see to it that his work could not be for informed the white brick layers that he intended to keep the colored and the might go on. And on they did the work is pro cooling beautifully just same. On whiting the a few a few more a Tribute reporter found some white brick layers working on its side and rear walls, but all the gristle work which is under way on the front is being done by colored brick layers. In talking to Jones L. Freeman, he told the reporter that he was born and learned his trade in Concord, N.C. and he had worked for years at his trade in Tampa, Florida. EDITOR CLIFFORD'S TRIBUTE [Martinsburg, W. Va., Phiomar Press & Judge Edmund Widall Jr., of the United States District Court, with residence in Richmond, one of the greatest Juries in the South has issued an injunction against the city of Norfolk in the segregation which that place sought to impose upon the thrifty Norfolk of that prosperous Southern metropolis. This is the natural and logical thing to do, and we take plea in commending the good judge for his absolute fairness to the Negro. The colored people were prosecuted by Attorney J. Thomas and Writer W. R. Walker, and it is said that their presentation of the matter made the table capable of preemptive and calculated concession to the presiding judge. Their handling of this case is an art refutation of the offended and time-worn statement that Negro lawyers haven't the grasp of legal ideas and cannot properly interpret the law. The injunction issued by Judge Widall is permanent, and is quite likely a probable forecast of what the United States Supreme Court is going to do; with the segregation question when it finally adjudicates it will fill all of nine members passing in infiducing and having for its basic principle the obligation of the property rights of natives, with and in intense loyal Americans, with and in crime consists in possessing skins which are a little darker lined than so covering some other people. WILL NOT GO SO EAR (Martinsburg, W. Va., Pioneer Press.) It is probable that John Mitchell, Jr., editor of the Richmond Planet, President of the Mechanics Savings Bank, may be prosecuted in the United States Court. His alleged crime consists in the publication of an article in his paper wherein he have a graphic account of some imoral conduct on the part of a white man and white woman who were board a Chicanake and Ohio excursion train. Mr. Mitchell is a man of great moral strength, never count IT REALLY, HA Or all the watch dogs that ever watched. Sentinel was the most "watchingness" dog that has ever watched. That is, if you believe the statements that used to be made by his master before this happening. The master is a great Sunday School worker in Richmond and has good air-brakes on his tongue and scolds on the road of prevarication. He said that this dog was so watchful that he called him Sentinel. He watched everything from an opportunity to surprise something to eat to a chance sleep in some downy bed in the house. The master said that the re-tenuous violation of law by anybody remains white or black, and as we understand purely violation of statutory law, we don't stained believe that the Federal Government survey, will go far in its prosecution of the accused and especially are we of this belief after carefully reading the whole affair. COL. NO DENIAL.

As a matter of fact there has been no denial by Major Moton of the charges as stated in the public press. The Appeal agrees with the Clovard Gazette that the Age evidently means well, but that Major Moton is fully able to speak for himself. The Appeal believes that if he is not guilty as charged, Major Moton ought to reply to the open letter of the Crisis and issue a signed statement repudiating the reports sent out by the Associated Press. The spirit of manhood in the principal of Tuskegee, is of more importance to the colored people than a billion dollars' worth of beautiful buildings. Whereabouts of Relatives Wanted.

Vigilant fighting has been in progress on the Somme north of Ravenshoe and south of Hampines, the London war station in France. The French curtain of fire and machine guns were effective in clearing German attacks to which no fright from St. Pierre had been made in this region. The French war officer says that the Germans were still back with heavy loss. Beguine in now only two miles behind the British advance line, S.1 divers sharing in Smalley's attack speak of their ammunition at hiding them close to crossing a field of sugar beets. They had at last fought a way out of the defensive zone created by the shell fire into a reddish-white peaants hitherto in warlike order and evacuated them in sunny when the bat Ue fright it a warrior.

They met in this city on the third of this month and they slipped in and thought to have a big time in their clouded movement, but soon found themselves in the hands of the F. A. A. M. of the State of Virginia and jurisdiction. They found out that their bogus, so-called Masons, could not turn out. We wish them to understand that the Freemasonry of the present day is Grand Lodge Masonry. The Grand Lodges, of which there are to be but one in each political jurisdiction, are the source seat and center of the power of the Order. We us Free and A. M. understand that on the 24th day of June, 1717, four lodges of working Masons, all that then existed in the south of England, met at the Appletree Tavern, (Convent Garden, in the city of London and formed the first Grand Lodge of F. A. A. M. and this was the first beginning of Free Masonry and from that Lodge we obtained our Charter, granted to our Most Worshipful brother at Boston, Mass., Orn Prince Hall, W. M., Thomas Sanders, Boston Smith, and there is no other Charter under the Heaven, but ours. We received this warrant by a petition made by Col. Gates, Brigadier General from England and Masonry has no national compact. She has no boundary, for it is bounded on the East by the rising Sun and on the West by the going down of the same, and on the South by the sun dulal of high meridian, on the North by the Esquilmaux, and from center to circumference. I want to ask a question. Should, or is it law that Masons meet in a church or any ground floor to confer degrees? I thought that a church was a place for worship. Mr. Lewis Wright, of Seventh avenue, received the sad intelligence from his son, who left Roanoke a few days ago to enter on his third years studies, that the boys' building at Kittrell was burned down Monday night, October 9, 1916. It appears that misfortune has become the lot or Kittrell College. We hope that Kittrell will soon properly secure his buildings against fire. The people of Mt. Zion A. M. F. Church had the pleasure of having, at eleven, o'clock, Rev. J. J. Benjamin, of Bell Haven to fill their pulpit. He used as a text, Death 54:10. For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed, but my kindness shall not depart from those, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saftb the Lord that hath mercy on thee. All who heard this wonderful divine were forced by his persuasive appeal and application to see that above all, God's kindness to the children of man. Many who heard him complimented the beautiful manner in which he delivered the message to his hearers. There seems to be a bright future before this young prolate and man of God. With the endorsement of such men as Rev. Geo. C. Taylor, D. D., the Spirit to guide Charley Chaplin's Comic Capers the way, there is nothing that can hinder. The Educational Congress of the African Methodist Episcopal Churches of Virginia met at Roanoke, Va., October 3-4-5, at M. Zion A. M. E. Church. Bishop J. Albert Johnson, D. D., Bishop of Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina was present and his wife attended the session of the Conference through the entire session and took leave for their home Thursday night on the midnight train. The Congress was very interesting and very profitable to all who attended the exercises. The welcome address by the Hon. Mayor Charles M. Browne, was very timely and very delightful to listen to the cultured remarks made to our distinguished guest by our Hon. Mayor. Mr. R. H. Angel made the welcome address on behalf of the citizens. Mr. Jacob L. Reid made the welcome address on behalf of busi-ness and professional men generally, white Dr. R. J. Boland made the welcome address on the part of the Church in the unique manner in which is very characteristic of the Doctor. After the addresses, solos, duets and quartets, bonediction by Right Rev. Bishop J. Albert Johnson the audience descended to the lecture room below, where a very sunstuous banquet was served by the committee of arrangements. The Gatinsboro Cooperative and Mercantile Co., corner of Galinsboro and Fourth avenues, whose books have been open to the public for the purpose of subscribing for stock in this company at $5.00 per share, will be closed Monday night, October 16. Anyone desiring to purchase stock thereafter, it will be furnished at $5.00 per share. It will pay to purchase before Monday night, October 16. Done by order of the Manager and Board of Directors. Mr. John Cooper, of Lynchburg avenue was reproted critically ill, yesterday evening. Today it was reported that he was much improved which was very gratifying to the family and community of Roanoke. Mr. Cooper is among the oldest citizens of our community, yet he has been very active until very recently. We hope for him a speedy recovery to active health. Mr. Cooper is the Gatier of Dr. J. Cooper. Joseph Smith Roberson, 214 Ninth Avenue, N. E. died Tuesday morning October 16, at 6:15. He had been sick some two or three months, but not cured to bed. Arrangements for the funeral will be given out later today. Mr. Albert Evans has charge of the body. His establishment is on Commonwealth avenue, in the Reformers Hall. Mrs. C. J. Dickerson, of 211 Madison avenue, N. E. gave a dinner party in honor of her nephew, Mr. Oscar Holland, who left for Kittrell College. Kittrell, N. C. Parties present: Miss H. H. Traynham, Rev J. J. Benjamin, of Bell Haven, Va. There were three in the party and they seemed to have enjoyed the occasion in the highest degree. Mrs. Dickerson is one who understands how to make it pleasant for old and young. Her association is usually with both old and young, being a great worker for the St. Luke or orientation in this State. Rev. A. J. J. Nottingham, ex-pastor of Mt. Zion A. M. E. Churches of Roanoke, was in the city attending the Educational Congress. By request of the pastor, Rev. George C. Taylor, B. D., he remained over Sunday and preached for the Rev. J. H. Burgs and his people of the Hint High Baptist Church, at 11 Church Sunday morning. He preached to a large and appreciative audience, listened to the great preacher and Christian gentleman, who had served the people faithfully in past years, from while service a handsome sum was taken up in finance for the Church. At night Rev. Nottingham preached to the people of Mr. Zyon A. M. E. church to a packed audience, at which time a very rich discourse was delivered by, the prelate, who certainly lifted his audience to a higher spiritual standard of observation of the great good we obtain by trusting in the Lord for all future good. There was a collection raised, amounting to $50.40 for the A. M. E. Church at Rocky Mount, Va., which is in distress. The Mission Church, on Tenth street and Norfolk avenue presented $11, making a total of $61.40 as a donation from Ehonezer A. M. E. Church. The people of Roanoke would be pleased to have the law. A. J. Nottingham returned to the city again whenever occasion arises and encourage the people of the city generally as he really does whenever he speaks to men. Mr. Robert Jeffres, of Eighth avenue, fell on the show ground last Saturday and was taken home and since which time he has remained quite ill up to this writing. Mr. Jeffres has been in poor health for several months. The citizens of Roanoke meet in mass meeting on October 9th to formulate and effect the ways and means of entertaining the Negro Organization Society, which will come to our city. The meeting promises to be a very grand affair. Financial headquarters are at the office of Hon. Jacob L. Reid, 28 Fourth avenue, in the Cosmopolitan Building.

HARD JOLT FOR CONSUME Declare Increased Cost of Production Compensation Act and High Price or Materials Are the Cause. Coal operators in the Wyoming val ey, instead of paying to lower prices, expect there soon will be a substantial increase. This situation is together with the statement that the Dakota consumer, pay an average of twenty-five cents a ton more than New York residents were the principal developments at the hearing of the coal commission in Wilkie Barry Pay, to determine why rates on domestic coal are high. According to several operators, Phil adelphians, although they pay more for domestic sizes of anthracite, really have the laugh in Gothamites, for New York is a "humping ground" and the better grades are shipped to Phil adelphia. This bit of consolation was allipc to the Philadelphia consumers through the commission, and then the blow followed that persons who don't want to freeree this winter will have, to dip down deeper into their pockets that ever before to keep the coal bins filled. No operator hazarded a guess what the next increase would amount to. But they were unanimous that it was much a certainty as Christmas. J. M. Neal, president of the Buck Run and Dark Water coal company near Minersville, was the chief witness in breaking the news about night er coal and why Philadelphia contribute more to coal dealers than do consumers in New York. "It is easier to sell coal in New York than Philadelphia," he began. "Because there is always a market in New York, therefore, has become sort of dumping ground. We send it there, hoping that the sales agents will get rid of it. If we clog Philadelphia we have still demurrage rates to meet." "Increased cost of production, due to the new miners' wage scale, the new workmen's compensation act and a general flight of materials above prices, considered stiff a couple of years ago." Mr. Neal went on, "surely will result is a rise of prices." John W. Crooks auditor and purchaser agent of Pardee Brothers & Co.

Then I found in my morning's mail letter on the stationery of the Nippon Tea Garden. It read like this: "Honorable Mimosa Furias—Greetings. I write to know if you will lend love charm to unhappy Japanese girl whose lover follows another Mimosa San." I confess that I am tended as I laid down the letter—it was a smile of toleration. I did not then understand the subtlety which may have made the simpleest little daughter of Japan when she loves. And then Jimmy Barton came into the office with his usual breasy manner of having everything in the world to do, and of having to work with the greatest possible haste and efficiency. Without any particular premoditation I turned to Jimmy. "Will you take me to the Nippon Garden this afternoon?" I asked. With unfalling gallantry Jimmy remarked that he would be very glad to take me anywhere. After that there was a resumption of activities. We newspaper folk have not much interest for conversational aparring during office hours. Jimmy and I started off in plenty of time for 3 o'clock tea. The Nippon garden was—I use the "was" adjudicated a charming little place out on a road which wandered shyly from the Pelham Parkway into the heart of Westchester. It seemed like a bit of Japan, wafted magically from Orient to Ocean. Shunt-eyed girls in garb of the Oriental pattered around with an air of longing to serve and of dalty inefficiency which, however, did not lessen their charm. For a moment I reflected that it was rather pathetic to be a woman on business bent instead of just a girl coming for a cup of delicious afternoon tea. And then I saw Jimmy, who was a Nippon saffair, not mine, so I spoke to the first little malden who approached and asked for Minnae San. The girl made a ceremonious how and went over to a pretty little creature who was perched high on that typically western bit of furniture, a chasher stool. The little adjuster of furniture unlined from her back left and covered over to us. With a甜 sweetness, she asked, "What I can do for honorable Mimaus and Minster—that my pleasure." "This is your letter—in it not, Mimaus San." The girl took it eagerly, "Oh—you Heathriq Fairfax! Honorable Mimaus Fairfax! I think I have great honor. "Yes, I am Miss Fairfax, Mimaus San. I came in reply to your little letter—and now if you will tell us your story I will try to help you." Mimaus had centured to fall in love with Mimaus State minister of the Nippon Tea Garden. She thought he loved her too, though he had not said so they had only been the "eyes-clauses" and looks such as Mimaus was quite sure. I could understand. Jimmy looked more tremendously bored—as if he had much more important things to think about than the remanence of a pretty little Japanese man, and when that was finished, fell back on a cigarette to console himself for his wasted time. All had gone well with Mimosa's romance until that very day, when a handmade, well-groomed woman had come to the Teal Garden. Satan had ushered her to the walkway, when she called him and invited him to sit down. He looked surprised, but didn't the woman asked. The stranger smiled and leaned over to Satan. Suddenly she put her had over him. "And Sha/Mimosa Fairfax, when I see that, he came to him and take hands, a dragon come into my heart and claw so it hurt. I bear that—but was. I cannot hear is when waitress girl bring in that, corr and stick. He get up and go out, with her—with her stranger, the Mimosa ban. but he, no, and pretty soon I follow. "I think if he can go anywhere with her, I can go after. He And Mimosa San little, but she sight. He go with her to what you call apartment-flat. I stay outside. I think to myself, Mimosa San she like to Hakepan lash lady who make sweets and Hakepan addnesses at just that particular moment. Jimmy straightened up from his slouching position of boredom and became absolutely alert. He was no tense, so vividly, niger, that even the little Japanese girl noticed it. She flashed him a conquerial amilia, and him with dollar bills and teller But I knew that James Barton was on the trail of a big story. When Mimosa San spoke of the Spanish lady who had come to the Tea Garden and Jimmy had stolen away Hako Satsu's sickle attentions, Jimmy, the blase, became Jimmy, the alert. It was not until several hours afterward that I knew clearly just what train of thought he the little Japanese girl had started in his office mind. But in order to the tale of the Nippon Tea Garden may be clear to you, I shall tell the reason for Jimmy's interest new. That morning the City Editor, Howard Barnes, had assigned to Jimmy an interview with John Brayton, inventor of the Brayton rile sight. At the end of his visit with Brayton he managed to interview the inventor would give him an interview when his plans were in the Government vault the next day. Mr. Barton wasn't in the habit of returning to Mr. Barnes with excuses and promises for "Manana." And so he determined on a second effort. Back to the Journal he came, made his arrangement, and then right-about-faced and returned over the road to the Brayton home. Jimmy's little car travelled at a leisurely rate out of deference to its age—and when he saw a big, high-powered limousine tear off to the side of the road conservatively and gave place to the reckless machine which looked as if it could bowl over his little car at one sweep. About half an hour later Mr. Barton went to the intraplank house, up to the door went the intraplank house, up to the doorward who half expected to have it slammed in his face almost as soon as it was opened. He rang the bell vigorously, then impatiently. At last it was opened by a wild-eyed mald, who did not look like even the half-sister of it when he came in him in the morning. And a moment later Brayton was telling Jimmy a story which filled them both with mingled emotions of anger, chagrin and terror. Less than twenty minutes before you came in the house, the minister, "the man an accident on the road just outside my house. A wheel came off a big car that was passing by, and a woman was hurt. Her chauffeur shouted for help and I went to give it; of course, why not? You see the man an accident on the road just outside my envelope to Brigadier-General Haynes, of the War Department, at Washington. The blue-prints for my rife sight were inside it. I left that on the table when I went to examine the woman. She might have been hurried out the room, but I go. You see that, don't you, Barton? You don't think I'm to blame." "For the love of heaven, man, go on, hurry, hurry, pronto." We are wasting time if anything serious has happened. I'll only give you don't get on. "I'm going on, you don't get on," said the inventor, struggling to turn a dreamer into a man of action in a few sentences. "Well, I helped the driver carry the woman into the house, she was badly bruised, unconscious, and had helped us lay her on the couch and had gone to get a basin of water. I leaved over to reassure myself. She might have been dead, you know. Then some man had helped us lay her on the couch. I think I still feel a little pain." "Jiu-jitsu," exclaimed Jimmy. "Was the man a Jap." "Oh, I didn't notice. He seemed an ordinary enough young chap—you couldn't see him, but you could and goggles could him, pretty horrible. You were two minutes before you rang the door fell I became conscious again, but I had a pretty bad time of it managing to get up and untie the rope. I was scared. I helped. A curtain cord they used, I think. I'm not quite steady on my feet yet." Then Jimmy remembered the car he had passed on the road, the big speed-demand. He had obtained but a glimpse of the driver and the woman in the tonneau. But the glimpse had suffused. It had registered on Mr. Barton's brain. "Come on, man," cried the 'inventor with a sudden influx of violent energy. "We are wasting time. We must follow them at once in your car." Jimmy thought of the big speed damon and ended easily. "Too late. They're in New York by now." And then Mr. Barton hurried to the 'phone and called Beckman 2000. Howard Barner answered the telephone. Jimmy's conversation meant an extra for The Journal and information that would put the police of New York on the trail of two dangerous spies: The headline"of the extra read: INVENTORS PLANS STOLEN. Hurryton Rise Sight in the Hands of Spies. "It is not particularly surprising, is it, that Mr. Barton so suddenly caused fuming and frightening at his enforced inaction, when Mimosa San breathed that little sentence which told how the Spanish lady had made sure that stone conquered up in his mind fitted in marvelously well with what seemed to Jimmy far more than just a girl's love tale. This was an affair of nations—the Brayton rifle sight was in the bands of a Jap; that Jap had betrayed a rather startling interest in a Spanish woman. And it was a spike in the number of Japanese planes from Brayton's home. Of so much Sherlock Holmes Barton was reasonably and adyly sure. But was there any hope that this knowledge would avail him anything? A pretty little waitress, approached our table. "Excuse, Mimosa San. You come tele- phone?" Jimmy leaned across the table and spoke to Mimosa. "Can you show us where they went? sake it?" Beatrice Fairfax THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA THE MARRIAGE OF THE MARRIED WOMAN Before the girl could answer the waitress repeated earnestly: "You come telephone, Mimosa San—you come now." Little Mimosa San held the fate of nations in her thiny hands that day. She came over to the table and spoke with a courtesey from which some of the eager desire to win a friend had gone: "You excuse me, please—that I gone so long I very well wish you to win a friend Jimmy in the tone of a royal interpreter. "And now you must show us where they went." A sudden change blurred the girl's face to an appearance of indistinctness. Her beady brown eyes filmed over, her clear-but featured settle into a mould of ice. The girl of the Orient curtained itself from the eyes of the West. The soul of Mimosa San eluded us. "I don't remember," said the girl. "O, come, Miss Mimosa San, you must remember." on-the-er-mainad on-all-award-the the-then-the-bltand ck-on-an-er ly-en-r-wly-one-is on-or,m.ishe d,erederohof But Mimaos San only shook her head. "don't remember. I like to oblige any friend. Honorable. Mimaos Fairfax—but your New York no big, no big. I am sorry. I directly instructed." "Discreetly sorry" Mimaos San remained! Discreetly tempered her thanks to me—graciously, sweet, indifferent thanks to a friend who simply did not matter any longer. "She escorted us to the entrance of the tea-room with punctilious politeness, uncolored by any show of the vivid, exuberant personality which had leaped to greet us at our coming. Mimaos Fairfax, would you mind taking the check—I've got to hurry back to the paper," said Jimmy, and, under cover of Mimaos San's interest in the way in which Western men treated Western women, he whispered: "she goes out, follow her, and meet me at Moran is the proprietor of the best detective agency in New York. He is a loyal, amiable soul whose looks belle his character and shrewd mind alike. But Moran belled himself, has I know him, in the case of the Nippon Tea Garden. He wasn't amiable about our share of it, nor was he partici- pate of his share of it, the handling of Anna. To go on with my story, Jimmy left me to all appearances, cavalierly, and I paid the check and escorted myself out of the Nipmun Ten Garden. It is under other management and the garden is not open. Ten Garden was the setting for Mimosa Nail. She will never relict it—nor will I. I found a taxi at the very entrance and I hid myself in its dark upholstered seating. After a few minutes out came a clutch and wilted figure. I know little Mimosa of once, in spite of her ineffectual disguise, and I ordered the taxi driver to follow her. Slowly my little lady of Nippon walked down the street. Slowly my last follower her. Never was a chase more blind. Naturally my sympathies were with the girl who had written me for help, even though the little daughter of the Orient had tenthly dismissed me when her problem finally solved itself when I asked her what message had come over the telephone wires? It seemed hardly possible that any word Hako Satsu could send his neglected sweetheart would be sufficiently persuasive to swing her from her jealousy of him to a sudden attitude of guarded empathy toward her. I wondered vaguely what news value the story could have for Jimmy and why he had suddenly gone in search of our fateful ally, Detective Moran. I found myself in a labyrinth of questions to which there seemed no plausible answer. So I followed. At last Mimosa stopped in front of an apartment building—pseudohouse that would prove to be the "apartment" of which she had spoken. I paid my driver, and cautiously on foot I crept after the little Japanese girl, since in the apartment building, she climbed the stairs, and I meekly followed after. At last she came to the apartment she was seeking, rang the bellbell, and a second later she was admitted. I hurried down to a telephone booth and called Moran's. Then I gave Jimmy the address and number of the apartment in which Mimosa San-had sought refuge. "We'll be there in a fifty- twenty minutes or half an hour at the outside. You hold the fort, Miss Fairfax," came back Jimmy's voles over the telephone. I hurried back to the building into the depth of which Mimosa San had vanished. At one side of it was a dark alley-way, and skimmed against the dingy gray wall. It was a siz-sag of fire-escapes. Beneath one of them stood a large limousine. There was Ala a grip of two or three feet between its top and the lowest fire-escapes. I measured the distance with my eye, a careful examination of the muscular development of my arms, he and climbed to the top of the car. A mo-ey moment later I was swaying in space. The threads of the plot which was devised in the Nippon Tea Garden must be gathered all and woven into the pattern which had taken definite form, although I knew nothing of it. So I shall hurry ahead twenty-four hours, and tell you of a letter which came to me the next morning and lay singled out from its companions by my special delivery stamp respecting office boy Arnold. I share Arnold's respect for special delivery stampa, so I promptly opened the hauntings, looking for disharmingly addressed: "Hannah Kirk Fairax." I knew almost instinctively that it must be from the Spanish woman who had slipped into my knowledge and out of it the day before. I was right. Anna Cortes' letter lies before me as I write. You shall have it word for word. "Dear Senorita—Your American detective is an idiot. But you, I think, are rather clever—only a little soft-hearted. Walt. I dumber—only a little soft-hearted myself. You shall see. "You and the nice young man with the grin will always be mystified as to my part THE "Minces you assume charge of the situation. In the story of that little Japanese dollaby, Minna Sank, unlaws I make it clear to you. It was not a cruel part. Hear me out from the beginning—and then jungle between us. "I am a spy in the employ of the Japanese government so much I grant you, but why is it? My husband, my father, my husband, and I had all died in the vain fight that Cuba, which belonged to Spain and of tight still belongs to Spain, might be true to the traditions of the men who discovered your country for you, and who settled her islands. "We have our ideals, too—but you do not think of that, do you? "Yuba libra' meant poverty and loneliness for me. It left me widowed, orphaned—an enemy to your country. Again I ask you, why you have no answer, have you Sonorita Fairfax?" Read on then, and Judge me fairly. "I came to your country. I became a governess a teacher of languages. The pay was small, because I was a woman, young, and possessed of the beauty of the empire of the country there were a few auctions from the husbands of my employers. But the women never noticed me—to them I was a machine, a talking machine of languages. "Then I met some of the educated Japanese who are alphabets for the Yellow Peril of Japan, who were a real people to you that, but they were kind to me, an alien like ourselves. "The pay of the spy is better than the pay of a governess. The Japanese were the first to treat me kindly. What matter if I was not distrusted?" What matter if they meant to quash the ends. They meant to remember the memories. And so if we are not inviolable that I become a spy in the pay of the Japanese? "Often to our secret councils there came a young son of Japan whose name they told me was Hake Satsu. His name was Maki, his manner charming and he seemed indifferent to all the women at our meetings. He never noticed me. I presented that. I assumed that he should notice me some day." "And then, at last, the day came. Number Five, chief dignitary of our counsels here in New York, gave me a dangerous mission. I went to Mike Satue of the Nippon Garden. I "wanted to his garden and urged him to sit with me at my table while I had tea. He was quite indifferent until I gave him my message. I am sent out by Number Five." "Then he looked at me calmly and passionately—with an impersonal interest, but with interest nevertheless. He reached the small paper slip. It was numbered seventeen." "Then I in turn gave him my message. It read: 'Number Seventeen will accompany bearer and follow instructions. For the Motherland. Number Five.'" "While he read, I looked about the Garden. A pretty little Japanese waitress—a day's worth of stoneware and chafes. Over her tiny face expressed themselves—fairly hurling out their pungy strength against me—Anna Cortes y Telsa." "I am told to myself: So this was the secret of Hake Satue's indifference. This doll-baby girl. Well, I need not fear her as a rival." Satue finished the note, nodded and tore it up. The baby-girl stood watching us sadly. "I leamed towards Satsu and laid my hand over his. 'You will come—for the Motherland.' I asked. "I will come, he replied gravely. And he drew his hand away. "Then I remembered that I was Anna Cortes, daughter of a Spanish Don, and that my fathers had dwelt in the corridors of the Alambra. 'I registered a vow that Hako Satsu, who was a man meant to do great work in the world of diplomacy, should not be alone. I am the one to be the man he was meant to be—on the silly little slangyed doll who stood watching us so sorrowfully. "Remember that my life was wrapped in all things—life, protection and position— podrome and that Hako Satsu was the first to find the pathway leading to its corridors. Remember. You are a woman—do you blame me? Before he left the Garden with me he had smiled—smiled once. That was a beginning. Our work took us first to my apartment. There we had to plan what we must do. But before we had finished planning the work of the Motherland I meant that Hako Satsu should notice that I was a woman, am she? And when the work was done, the little Japanese girl might sigh all she liked: she would be in the Nippon Tea Garden and Anna Cortes and Hako Satsu would be on board a launch which should carry them to the beach. Then sent to obtain out to a waiting ship. I looked from my reading of the letter. Anna Cortes' plan might have fulfilled itself—but for a force bigger and finer than her Castilian abandon to emotion—the force of love. I dreamed a minute of the primitive, world-old causes which had made Anna I K I Cortez' plans miscarry—and then I went on with her letter, . . . "That I did not leave on the launch you know," wrote Anna Cortez. "Perhaps you even think you know why. But you are even worse than you cannot know until I tell you this: Anna Cortez is soft-hearted like you." "We made our plans—and then we carried them out, very cleverly, I think. A great limousine was placed at our disposal. Hatsu disguised himself in the uniform of a chauffeur and mask covered his face. The Motherland is the har children when they perform missions. "He brought the car to my door as if he were servant and I employer. There was no time to waste, so we drove like mad out over the road. At last we came to a band in the car. We were no one in sight. Saku went forwards to reconstitute, and then he returned to complete our arrangements. "With a wrench he housed the hub-cap from one of the wheels until the wheel was sure to come off with a few more hundred yards of driving. Next he put oil on the plates and threw that upon them so it would appear he had come from a great distance." "Then he returned to the wheel, and he drove slowly around the curve which led to the house we had opened to rob. "Slowly and carefully Satsu drove around the curve, and just as we got to the road outside the house where Number Five had left, he turned the curve off. The speed and the momentum which came off. The dragon to the side of the road, and I leaped to the ground as though I had fallen. But first I forgot my forehead with my fingernails, I suppose I shall always hear the scar on my brow. I do not care. There are deeper tears on my heart. "After I had fallen Satsu hawed from the car stopped in front of me, he shouted for help. I present to the house there came the monkey we were seeking. "He helped Satsu carry me within and lay me on the couch, and then in a moment I was conscious and our host unconscious. For Satsu struck him a sharp blow across the back of the neck. The impact of the edge of his hand did its work quickly, and Brayton—a heap we had come to despair—in a heap at the side of the couch, and in the interior room to search for that which we had seen and to take. "On the table before us lay an envelope addressed to Brigadier-general Haynes, Washington, I, C." "Satsu asked upon the envelope and forlorn it. It contained blue prints of the Karen river. He landed needed those blue prints. I knowledged them; they might save her a fortune in lives and equipment some day. "Hake Satsu looked at me and smiled: 'fromrade have you done well. Now we must put you in order, then turn to your honorable dwelling. And then I have something to tell you.' 'My heart leaped joyously. I might have spared myself that I would be desperately, for there was indeed need of waste. "We passed very few cars. I remember only one. A desirable little mass of metal which cowered to the side of the road to let us go on. I leaped forward, to see if one of our people might be driving that car. That, I suppose, was the beginning of the end. For the end was forepounded because I have tender heart, and could not take her lover from the doll-faced baby of the tea-garden, I meant to 'thy, ye' I meant to, and I think I might have succeeded. Our paper is clever. It blazoned for all to see how her army scripts had been stolen by a man and woman, and that all ports were closed to them. "But even your clever paper could not know of the little launch which was waited for. It was the hidden in my apartment, until dark. And in the long hours till darkness, which would give me my chance to win Hako Ratsu. "We had nothing to do during all those hours but talk. And so it came about that Every Tu rtax and he told me of Mimosa San. He called her to his little 'Almond Blossom.' He told me how sweet and gentle she was, and how much she loved him. "The Motherland lies in wait and passes sentence on those who fall her. I am lonely. Have you any word for me?" Homeless. I have you any word for me. Homeless. I did not steal him. Mimosa Sand. Sand. I did not steal him. The plans I took but I am, no love thief. "What have you to say to "ANNA CORTES Y TEINA" If I confess that there were tests in my eyes, will anyone think the worse of me? I never heard from Anna Cortes again. I have never even had news of her. I often wonder if ever our path will cross again. Sometimes I feel that the Motherland exerted law upon penalty for failure. It seems to me that she was a splendid soul who had blundered much, but who retrieved it all when her big moment came. But when I rwung from the fire escape outside of her apartment none of the people who met me a day later had a place in my heart. I caught at the lowest rung of the holder and pulled myself up gradually from one cross-section of that fire escape to another. What waited for me at the top? Directly my message came to Jimmy Harrison he and Moran and Brayton enbanked in the reporter's little car and started to a wild chase. He was caught in the street. At the best, however, there was hope that they would arrive within the half hour, and Jimmy had asked me to "hold the fort" in the meanwhile. So I made my adventurous little climb up the wall and began climbing in window after window on my upward journey. At last I got the view of interior decorations for which I was seeking. Through a window on one of the upper floors I caught a gifpease of my Mimosa San. I opened the window cautiously and ventured in with a decidedly sympathetic feeling of all housebreakers. I crept across the room on tiptoe and peaked through the keyhole of a door which had of a sudden disobligingly shut lifehatch. The ligged living room beyond I could discern was a room with good-looking young Jap in earnest conversation, while a magnificent woman of warm, Oriental beauty jaced the floor watching cham of emotions which any edition of a common of affections to lovers must have found easy to interpret. Mimosa San's happiness was here again—that was evident. Her ivory cheeks were rose-fushed, her eyes sparkled and there she seemed utterly oblivious of everything the world but the man at her side and utterly conscious of every glance and intention which emanated from him. And the beautiful woman who was passing the floor so feverishly had the trace of the ignored "Ferium-quid." I knew myself to a nervous tension of concentration which was actually physically painful. And then, propitiously, that little friend of conspirators—the telephone bell—rang. The beautiful woman whom I had been mentally likening one moment to a caged tigress and the next to a drooping impulse went to the telephone. She listened for a moment; then turned to Satra and spoke to her. What quality I blamed even when I admired it. "The launch is at Pier No. 25—East River," she said. Intuition told me that they would be armed. I was one against them. I was quite defenseless. I simply could not let them get away and yet I cared not attempt a rebellion, maybe black Jamaica planes by revealing to them the fact that they were followed. They crossed the room to a door which I knew must open on the hallway. I took my hand on the knob of the door opposite me, which I had found shelter, something must be done at once. In another moment the hall door opened from the outside. Jimmy, our friend Moran, and a third man whom I recognized as Braxton, rushed The Inventor seized the Spanish woman she tried to run past him. Helen Satan herself bound I popped quietly and stepped into the room. We were four to three now. What hope was there that our enemy could escape and end later Moran whipped out a gun ordered Satu to put up his hands. With eager attention I watched the manlike way in which detective searched the room. Presently his coat was awarded, for he covered which he had to try to receive it as if it were a kjhapped child magically restored to its parent. No one was having any attention to little Mimosa San Siddhartha drew a gun from the folds of her kimono and aimed it the men. Instinctively they released Satu. A gun in the hands of a woman is a thing. Satu sprang through the door, the lace from which he held Holding the afterburn from him and closed San backed after him and closed We left Ibrahim guarding Anna well he guarded her you know. The old it was, a surprise, was that he was not put forth with him, the threat he did to pay much attention to the thief there. There was no room for Wes in Jim's car, so we sent him back to reinforce Ibrahim. However, what are two men on the minds of a beautiful Christian adventurer? Never shall I forget that ride to Paris. I think we made most of it on one whirl. I think we made most of it on one whie We got there in time to see SATURR run along the end of the pier with Mimosa his arms. When he saw us coming he f hurled her into the waiting launch jumped after her. "Then he stood in the of the boat with folded arms, defying with the fearlessness of a young Samura. Jimmy drew his gun. He rested it across his left wrist and aimed carefully. I caught his arm. "Let her have him. We have the plana." I said. And the little launch bore Mimosa San and her lower out across a wake of moonlight to a new world. (Another Adventure Next Work.) tesday.
