NET. EDITOR MITCHELL'S TRAVELS THE AMERICAN BANKERS ASSOCIATION—A FINE THEATRE— NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE BRANCH—A ROYAL GREETING. The 'moments passed quickly and pleasantly for me in Nanaas City. The special feature here was the palatial drug stores. I visited the office of Dr. J. Edward Porry, 1512 18th Street. He is the very essence of energy and good humor. While here, I learned that the split in the Grand Lodge of Missouri had its birth right in this city. Attorney W. C. Hogaton claims to be Grand Chancellor, with George L. Naughton as Grand Keeper of Records and Seal. THE TEST CASE The test case was to have been heard Saturday, Oct. 7, 1916. The preceding of action does not claim to have the majority of the lodge with them. The claim is that three years ago, the Grand Lodge of Missouri, Knights of Pythias, passed a law that a grand chancellor could not serve longer than three consecutive terms. Sir A. W. Lloyd, Grand Chancellor, recognized this as valid at the time it is alleged. THE QUESTION SUBMITTED Later, he submitted the question of its validity to the Supreme Chancellor, who had not, up to the meeting of the last Grand Lodge, ruled on it. At the last session of the Grand Lodge, supported by a committee, Grand Chancellor Lloyd declared the law as passed ineffective and proceeded to stand for reelection. He was chosen by an overwhelming vote. The seceders declared that he could not be lawfully elected, and with the money attached raised the question and appealed to the court. A MAJORITY VOTE From what I could learn, all admitted the fact that the law was legally passed, and all admitted that Sir Lloyd had a majority vote, with which to over-awse and defeat the minority. I talked to both sides, but did not care to appear to be interfering into the affairs of Missouri. I found the colored people thoroughly aroused on financial questions, and to all appearances, much to my embarrassment. I was "the lion of the hour." In company with Dr. S. H. Thompson, his Mathme and his accomplished daughter, Miss Louise, I visited Kansas City's leading theatre to see the opera "Martha." Colored girl ushers were employed. They wore black dresses and white apposals, and assigned the patrons to their seats. THE DIVIDING LINE The theatre was new and had only one balcony. It was no skillfully arranged, that no distinguishing line was observable until you sat down and examined it closely. Where the colored folks sat was higher up. If you attempted to take seats nearer the front, it would be necessary to go outside and come in through an opening. There were only about nine colored folks in the theatre, including our party. I was learning something out here in Missouri. STAGED IN VIRGINIA. The play was staged in Virginia during the colonial period and the State Fair at Richmond was interesting. It was late when we entered Dr. Thompson's automobile and started for home. I had made inquiries about the man who had been shot in the spine. IN A HELPLESS CONDITION. He was still in a helpless condition. His father had decided to take him home. He could only take ice, and he was slowly growing weaker. It brought home to me the statement of Dr. Thompson to the grief-stricken father, when he told him that the man who shot him would have done the wounded man a favor to have killed him with the other bullet in the gun. THOSE CLOSING HOURS. The closing hours of the American Beaker's Association were tense with interest. I met Mr. M. W. Harrison, the able secretary of the Savings Bank Section, and the moving spirit in the great thrift movement. He told me that he would send the necessary materials to and in the work among the selected people. A most interesting company was witnessed by the presentment to the retiring President, Mr. James R. Lynch, of a third award ceremony on the part of the Association. A-LOVING CUP. When a speaker arose later with a loving cup, and in a humorous manner presented it to Assistant Secretary James G. Fitzgerald, there was a moment of tense interest. He had served the association for more than a dozen years and he seemed to be almost overcome by this recognition of his faithful services. THE COLORED BUSINESS MEN. I walked through the business section of Kansas City after the American Banker' Association adjourned to meet in Atlantic City, New Jersey, next year. I was tired, but I gratified my liking for the beautifully decorated windows. When I reached Dr. Thompson's residence, dinner was served and at 9 o'clock I was on my way to the Colored Y. M. C. A. building, where a banquet in my honor was served by the National Negro Business League, of which Mr. J. Fortune Weaver is president. TALKED MUCH It was a grand affair. Ladies were present. It will long be remembered. Each person present arose, stated his occupation and sat down. We had partaken of a splendid repast, and then I discussed banking as it related to colored folks. I felt like talking and I talked. I musa have made an impression, for a motion was made to enroll my name as an honorary member of the League, and it was unanimously carried. AWAITING THE MORROW. We left for home much pleased with the evening's entertainment. I was to visit Leavenworth on Saturday, and so I hastened to my room and after a few moments' pleasant meditation, laid down for pleasant dreams. JOHN MITCHELL, JR.

Lee, who died Oct. 18, 1915, at her old home, Scottsburg, Va. Though beloved by a host of admiring friends, it was in the hallowed precincts of the home that mother's character shone with tenderest lustre and potency. We extend our appreciative thanks to the South Richmond Bible Band, the Officers and Teachers Conference of First Baptist Church Sunday School, and to the neighbors, for their letters of sympathy. In which they paid the highest tribute to the Christian character of the deceased. With aching hearts and eyes blinded by tears, we laid the fair tenement, the redeemed spirit had deserted for its heavemward flight, to rest in the bosom of mother earth 'till the morning of the resurrection; but on our falling tears, the sunshine of the Savior's promise, paints a rainbow of eternal hope, and Faith catches from afar strains of the music of "Harpers harping on their harps." Her sons: David S. Lee. George H. Lee. John R. Lee. DR. WALTER H. BROOKS AND A BIG TIME AT THE SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH. At the Second Baptist Church next Sunday, Dr. Walter H.

Jones, colored, a chauffeur and butler until yesterday for Colonel James R. Branch, of 3 East Franklin Street, is under arrest in Washington, charged with the larceny of diamonds and other jewelry from the home of his employer, valued at $1,840. The robbery occurred on Sunday night. The arrest was effected through a letter sent broadcast by Detective Captain T. J. McMahon and telegrams which reached thirty-eight cities. In the letter the following articles were described as having been taken: One double snake ring, two heads, two-and-one-half carat diamonds in same, value $500; one ruby ring, ruby in center, one carat diamond on each side of ruby, value $400; one pearl pin surrounded by diamonds, value $200; one ruby pin, two carats, surrounded by diamonds, value $400; one pear-shaped pearl stick pin, two or three small pearls below large pearl, with diamond beneath, value $200; one open-face gold watch, value $40. NEGRO HAS JEWELS AND SEVERAL PAWN TICKETS Captain McMahon received a telegram from Washington stating that Jones, who said he worked for the Philadelphia Automobile Company, of 1031 West Broad Street, Richmond, was under arrest. He had several pawn tickets, some being from local pawn-brokers. In addition he had the following articles: one ruby ring, ruby in center, one carat diamond on each side of ruby; one pearl pin surrounded by diamonds; one ruby pin, two carats, surrounded by diamonds, and one pearl-shaped pearl stick pin, two or three small pearls below large pearl, with diamond beneath. An officer will be sent today for Jones. Immediately upon receipt of the telegram giving the numbers on the pawn tickets, Captain McMahon sent a plain-clothes man to the pawnshops to ascertain the goods pledged on the tickets. He was unable to state definitely last night whether all the articles came from the home of Colonel Branch or not. He said that some of the articles were pledged as early as last Tuesday. He believed that Jones had been taking articles from the home for more than a week. JONES WAS EMPLOYED FOR SHORT TIME ONLY Jones had easy access to all parts of the Branch house. The robbery was not discovered until near midnight. Sunday, when Mrs. Branch sought her watch and was unable to find it. An examination showed that jewelry boxes had been riffled. In his haste the thief overlooked other valuable jewelry, including two pearl studs of considerable value. According to the police, Jones came here from Atlanta, and has been working for Colonel Branch but a short time. The officers say that he is also wanted on a charge of engaging in a shooting affair late on Sunday night with Arthur Dabbs, colored. Patrolmen Jennings and Goodle, who appeared against Dabbs in Police Court yesterday, said there was trouble between Jones and Dabbs. Dabbs was arrested, but, according to him, Jones was the one who did the shooting. The officers attempted to arrest Jones, but when he saw Patrolman Jennings approaching the Negro throw his hand to his hip pocket and then ran. The officer fired three times at the fugitive without effect, apparently. An effort was made by the officers to locate him at his home on Harrison Street, without result, and when they went to the Branch residence to arrest him they learned of the robbery. In the meantime Jones had fled the city, going to Washington. In Memoriam. PAYNE—Sacred, but in loving remembrance of my dear wife and our dear mother, Louisa Payne, who died one year ago—Oct. 17, 1916. In the graveyard, softly sleeping. Where the flowers gently wave.

Have courage, loved ones, we'll meet again. —Husband and Children. In Memoriam. Jowns—In loving memory of our son, M. Baldem Jones, who departed this life Oct. 17, 1912. —J. R. and Rae K. Jones. To cancel the debt and make necessary repairs on the Old Folk's Home (Colored), at 508 W. Baker Street, the members of the Board for the Home, together with a sub-committee, with Mr. James M. Praysler manager, after careful consideration, have decided to appeal to the generous hearted people of Richmond through a special campaign for aid for this most worthy cause. Headquarters for the campaign will be at 613 N. Second Street, on the first floor of the American Beneficial Insurance Company.

Special Detective Wilkins Here Special Detective Clarence N. Wilkins, of the Department of Excise of New York, is in the city this week. He is investigating the conditions among the colored people as a result of the abolition of liquor in the several southern states. He expressed the personal opinion that the colored people were being encouraged by the better class of white people in all legitimate efforts to better their condition and this opinion was confirmed after a conversation with the editor of the Planet. Mr. Wilkins will extend his investigations to other southern states. The information obtained by him is expected to be compiled for future use. The drastic action of several states in abolishing the liquor traffic has been followed by an effort to ascertain first hand, whether or not it has accomplished all that was expected of it. Mr. Wilkins was accompanied by Mr. William Miller, the hotel proprietor. ```markdown ``` "Dr. E. R. Jefferson, Jr. is now located at 700 N. First Street, where he will be pleased to see his many friends. Mrs. Mabel McCrea, of Harrisburg, Pa. is in the city, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. D. R. Dawson, 1000 N. 4th street. Rev. S. A. Moses, pastor of the High Street Baptist Church, was in the city en route home from Williamsburg, Va., where he preached. Rev Dr. L. N. Wales, 31st anniversary as pastor of the Mt. Arara! Mr. V. W. Valentine, formerly of Roanoke, Va., and who also represented the Southern All Society in that city, is now superintendent for the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association at Concord, N. C., the strongest and largest Negro Insurance company in the world. Mr. Valentine's home is in Petersburg, Va. A CORRECTION Richmond, Va., Oct. 17, 1916 Editor The Planet: In a recent issue of your paper there appeared a notice of the opening of a new ministerial institution in our city. The founder and president of said school, Rev. F. A. Brown, was designated as a graduate of the theological department of Virginia Union University with the titles of A. M., B. D. I am sure the entire University notes with pleasure the establishment of a sister institution elevating its energy to the educational uplift of the people of our race. But we feel that the friends of Rev. F. A. Brown have done him an injustice by attaching titles to his name supposedly received from Virginia Union University. Therefore, in fairness to Virginia Union University as well as to the Reverend Brown, I think the mistake should be corrected. The gentleman in question is not a graduate of our institution, not having completed the required courses of any department. Marriage Announcement Miss Lena Lewis, of New York, became the bride of Mr. F. H. Hayes Monday evening, October 9th, at the home of Mrs. Lillian Harper, of North Seventh Street. Rev. J. C. Stephenson officiated. Mr. Hayes is the son of the late Arthur Hayes, Undertaker. Send us your Concert Programs TEXAS BAPTISTS MEET (Chan. Stewart) Houston, Texas, October 16.—The General Missionary and Educational Baptist Convention, which was in session here last week, has just closed which was termed the most successful meeting ever held by the convention during the forty-five years of its convention life. The Ministerial Conference, the Women's Convention Auxiliary to the state convention, were also in session, and they, too, hold successful meetings. It is declared that the Baptists are aroused as never before and are more determined than ever to do real educational and missionary work in this section of the country. Rev. L. M. Williams, who has been president for a number of years retired, and Rev. A. L. Boone, D. D., of Fort Worth, was elected his successor. Dr. Williams has moved out of the state, having accepted the pastorate of the Olivet Baptist Church in Chicago, Ill. The convention passed resolutions commending the work of Dr. Williams, and at the same time presented him with a token. Regrets were expressed that he was going to leave the state The other officers of the convention were Rews, R. H. Littleton, Bryan, and C. N. Hampton, Parls, vice-presidents; Prof. M. M. Rodgers, Dallas, secretary; A. S. Torrell, Anderson, treasurer; J. E. Knox, Dallas, superintendent of missions; J. R. Wilson, Waco; J. G. Simms, of Pittsburg, general field missionaries; M. J. Johnson, Fort Worth, educational secretary; W. H. Branham, Clarksville; M. M. Rodgers, Dallas; R. B. Franks, Tyler; F. R. Ruffin, Giddings; members of the executive board; S. E. J. Watson, Dallas; M. M. Rodgers, Dallas; Andrew Parr, Houston; W. F. Blesseo, Marshall, J. B. Bell, Houston, trustees. Each session of the convention was full of interest. Among the visitors were Roy J. H Green, D. D. Shreveport, La., field secretary of the National Baptist Convention; S. A. Griffin, chaffman deacon board, Olivet Baptist Church, Chicago, Ill.; Mrs. S. Willie Layton, president of the women's auxiliary convention of the National Baptist Convention. The Convention opened Wednesday in the Bethel Baptist Church, of which the Rev Dr J. R. Burdett, is major. Immediately after the opening devotional, the keys of the church were turned over to President L. K Williams by Rev Burdett, who also delivered an address of welcome Dr Burdett assured the hosts of Baptists that the people were delighted to have them in the city, and in their churches, and doors stood afar for all. The key which he presented would also unlock the doors of the homes, the hearts of the people and their pocketbooks. Rev W. H. Jermany, of Kountze, responded to the address, accepting the hospitality for the visitors as well as for the convention. The opening sermon was preached by the Rev L. M. Leonard, of Bastrop, who used as his text, "As you go proach the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matt 10:7 It was a strong sermon, full of information. The first collection lifted in the convention was for foreign missions. President Williams considered that the convention should, before looking after any work at home, remember those who had given up home comforts and friends and gone to the far off foreign fields. Rev F. L. Lights D. D. appealed for the collection. His appeal went right to the hearts of the people and they were liberal in their response. The convention indorsed in strong language the work of the National Baptist Convention, and the leader, Dr. E. C. Morris, and pledged support to the Sunday School Board of the National Baptist Convention, Rev. J. D. Haynes, secretary, with Prof. S. P. Harris, assistant secretary. The report made by the officers showed an increase in work as well as membership and interest. Rev. L. K. Williams, in his annual address, called attention to the large number of men and women of the race going to the north, caused by the scarcity of labor on account of the European war. While he thought that the south with its many opportunities held out to the race should be appreciated, yet he said that the south should appreciate the presence of the Negro by protecting life and property. Many of the cities and towns in some parts of the southern states had been almost depopulated. Prof. M. M. Rodgers made a good report on the condition of all branches of the work, putting special stress on the educational work done by the convention. The presidents of the schools. Prof. J. T. Hodges, Houston College, and B. J. Brown, Fort Worth College, were presented and spoke. The money collected by the convention during the year amounted to $10,248.42 as reported by Secretary Rodgers. Texarkana was selected for the next annual convention. Rev. B. F. Riley, of Birmingham, Ala., delivered an address, as did the Rev. Dr. West of the Temple Baptist Church. Rev. A. L. Boose was elected to represent the convention in the Ne tional Baptist Convention next September In Muskogee, and 250 others were appointed to be associated with him—in fact, the whole convention was authorized to be present and represent the Baptists of Texas. Dr. E. C. Morris could not be present, but sent a letter which was read during the convention. TWO COLORED MEN LYNCHED; THEIR BODIES BURNED. Paducah, Ky., October 16.—Two Negroes were lynched by a mob here today and their bodies burned. One was charged with attacking a white woman, and the other was accused of voting approval of his action. One was taken from the county jail and the other was seized on the streets. Followed by several thousand persons, the Negroes were taken to the home of the woman, two-miles away. White one of them was presented to her for identification, the other was taken to a tree, a rope thrown over a limb, his neck encircled in a noose, and an automobile hitched to the other end. As soon as the other Negro had been identified by the woman, the process was repeated. The bodies later were taken down and burned. The lynchings came after five hours' hour to enter the cells in the jail, and were the outcome of an attack on Friday upon Mrs. George Rose at her home. The mob gathered about 7 o'clock today, after hearing that the police had arrested Brick Finley. The mob demanded the prisoner, refused to heed the appeal of city and county officers to disperse, and brushed aside the police reserve sent to the scene. They battered down the jail door, but found the prisoners locked in steel cells. Failing to find the keys, they summoned a foundryman to cut the bars to Finley's cell. Shortly before noon, he had made an opening sufficient to enable the Negro to emerge. He quietly walked out of the building with his captors, who announced they intended to lynch him if Mrs. Rose identified him. The march to her home was taken up, and on the way Asa' Thurhill, about 20 years old, who it had been reported had landed Finley's attack, was seized. --- TENTH ANNIVERSARY OF ALPHA PHILA Alpha Monday, October 22, marks the tenth anniversary of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. This fraternity is the first Greek better brotherhood to be organized among Negro college men in the world. It was organized at Cornell University in 1906 by seven college men.

"There is no death! An angel walks the earth with silent tread. And bears our best loved ones away, and then we call them—dead!" Florence L., only daughter of C. Richard and Myrtle A. Chiles (formerly of Richmond, Va.) departed this life at eighteen years of age October 2, 1916, after a brief illness of only four days. She was a June graduate of the High School, of Washington, and had entered the Normal School for this term. Some know her but to love her. None named her but to praise. The funeral took place from the residence of her parents, 807 Tee street, N. W., Thursday, October 12, at one P. M. and the dense crowd of sorrowing and sympathetic friends and schoolmates attested the high esteem in which she was held by them. The services were conducted by Rev Thomas J. Brown, Rector of St. Luke's B. E. Church, of which she had been a member for four years. "Lend, Kindly Light" and "Peace, Peace, Peace" were beautifully sung. Mr. Bush Hunter, of Lexington, Ky. sang, "Some Day the Silver Cord Will Break." The floral offerings were numerous and costly, among them a massive piece from "Richmond Friends." Undertaker James managed the funeral and in the shades of the evening, Florence was left to rest 'till the morning dawns. To the heart-broken parents, we would say,— Not now, but in the coming years. It may be in the better land. We'll read the meaning of our bears. And there, sometime, we'll understand. God knows the way. He holds the key. He guides us with unerring hand. Sometimes with tearless eyes we'll see. And there, sometime, we'll understand. Then, trust in God three all thy days. Fear not for He doth hold thy hand: the dark thy way, still sing and praise, sometimes somewhere, well understand. GRAND WEDDING AT HICKORY HILL.

CONDEMN WILSON FAVOR HUGHES A strong address to the country was adopted scoring Wilson for his race segregation and favoring Hughes as the means by which to put Wilson out. The address contained the following: Owing to the alarming spread of Jim Crowland we declare an opposition to the whole policy of race separation in public and ample public institutions, in places open to the public, a denial of equality and un-American, a denial of equality of rights and destined to make us social and civic outcasts. The night mass meeting was like the others, honored by a very large audience, M. W. Spencer opened. Praver was by Rev. O. F. Dennison of Massachusetts. Addresses were by Rev. G. Ginnner, presiding officer, Ms. Ida B. Well-Barnett, Bishop I. N. Ross, J. P. Peaker, Connection; Prof. W. Hales, Massachusetts, and Wm. Miner, Massachusetts. The public was by Miss Lillian Seymour. A reception to the delegates closed a most successful three day convention. The address to the country was signed by Dr. Wm 'A. Stinelair, Pennsylvania; Hon. I. B. Allen, New York; Joseph H. Stewart, District of Colo; Joseph R. Roverdy C. Hanson, New Jersey; Mar. C. W. Barnett, Illinois; E. T. Morris, Massachusetts; The Walker, District of Columbia; Rev. G. W. Kent. Talks on Banking LET THE BANK MAN HELP YOU NUMBER 20' In practically every bank, there is a man whose face is familiar to the public at the village doctor, the minister or the postmaster. He has been with the bank. It may be, he will be a boy, grow up with it, and will probably die in its service. He is usually so regular in his habits that you can set your watch by him. He waits on the window, interviews the borrowers, makes out reports, hears the tales of distress, offers advice and instructions and tackles family and financial affairs. He has well been termed the banks' "Department of Mercy." You may sometimes call him by his first name, and he will probably call you by yours. He is often the bank, and you know the bank as "Mr. So and So's bank." You have every confidence in him because you have known him long. He is worthy of that confidence. This man is a conservative. It is his business to keep the bank safe. In a great many cases he passes on the loans, buys the securities, and has the general management of the bank, reporting to the board, to whom he is responsible. You can well afford to take your problems, to him, for yourself. He has handled millions for the bank, it may be without looting a dollar. He can give you good advice. Whenever you contemplate buying a piece of real estate, ask his opinion—the knows values in your town. If you think of buying a bond, or some stock, ask him to guide you, for it may be he is a bond expert—some bank men are. If you have a proposition that looks "roos" to you, seek him out and ask if he would take it for the bank. He will probably say no and you can afford to do likewise. When troubles come, consult him. He is the executive and clerical under the bank. Every detail passes under his. He is feaulous of his bank and his position. His life work. He is fairly well-aware of his job, gives if his best a tention and stands in the role of servant to whoever would use his good offices without pay and hope of reward. He is a gentleman of honor, of fine distinctions, high ethical standards, clean life and helpful inclinations. You do well to know him, and cultivate his friendship. He can help you in many ways.

NEGROES TO HAVE FINE THEATRE HERE Announcement was made yesterday that Roanoke is to have a colored theatre, excavations for the foundations of which have already begun. It is claimed that it will be the finest and largest colored amusement establishment in the South. It will be known as the Hampton Theatre, Inc. named after the Hampton Normal and Industrial Institute at Hampton, Va. from which the late Booker T. Washington was graduated. No definite date has been set for the opening, but it is expected that the building will be ready to open its doors December 1. This theatre will be modern in its design and will have a seating capacity of 1,000 persons. The lot on which it will be built measures 50 by 100 feet and is located near the corner of High and Henry streets. An expensive pressed brick building will be erected there, and it will be adorned with magnificent marble trimming. At the entrance w the floor will be laid, and to the left will be located the president's office, which will be enclosed in glass, so that he can observe the interior of the building and also supervise the work of the usher and ticket soller. The interior will be handmade from fine and customised seats will be installed in aisles, drop curtains, silvering and state society will be put in. The place will be ventilated with an electric exhaust fan ventilator. According to the plans, besides the auditorium, there will be a parquet and a balcony. It is the purpose of the management to have clean, polite colored vaudeville. Arrangements have been made to place Roanoke on the "S. H. W. Circuit," which is one of the largest colored circuits in the country. Only a few are used, and it is proposed to have a six place orchestra to play during the performances. The Hampton Theatre is to be founded and promoted by Tiffany Toliver, president of the company. The building will be used for colored entertainments whenever it is needed. The officers of the company are C. Tiffany Toliver, president; from C. Toliver, secretary; A. F. Brooks, treasurer; and C. L. Andrews, manager.

Mitchell John, Jr., president of the Mechanics Savings Bank at Richmond, Virginia, visited Leavenworth Saturday in company with J. W. Jones, Dr. J. H. Anthony, Dr. S. H. Thompson and Judge L. F. Bradley, of Kansas City, Kansas. Mr. Mitchell had been in attendance at the American Bankers' Association in convention held at Kansas City the past week where he, as a member, delivered an address. While in Leavenworth Mr. Mitchell visited the Soldiers' Home. Fort Leavenworth and the Federal pentagonal and was well pleased with his visit. Mr. Mitchell and his company from Kansas City were entertained at dinner by Dr. C. M. Montes and T. W. Bell and all seemed to enjoy them-cles. While at the Federal Prison Mr. Mitchell remarked that the home of John Rockefeller or Andrew Carnegie was not more commodoious than the Federal prison which housed the United States prisoners. Mr. Bell remarked to him, that it had been made so for the enbefit of the United States, at which he replied, let us not talk about the bankers, but the doctors and lawyers. Mr. Mitchell was driven about the city and taken in the ball game at the prison, which pleased him very much, and on taking his leave from Leavenworth he remarked that every business man in the United States ought to visit Leavenworth and know of the fine institutions here. Mr. Mitchell is a member of The American Bankers' Association, Fellow Royal Society of Arts, London; member National Geographic Society, member American Association for the Advancement of Science, and member National Musical League. He is a fine business man and con- fy the greatest Master of his race. He is always on the move, plunging above and sailing the other boys to come on. Mr. Mitchell is also a millionaire. He is the most magnificent man published in Madison, Virginia. The people of America have learned to know Mr. Mitchell and honor him for his starting worth as an organiser in bringing about results and his friends here are hopeful that he will visit Leavenworth again. BAHIA, BRAZIL LETTER Bahia, Brasil, Sept. 12, 1916. Mr. John Mitchell, J. Richmond, Va., U. S. A. My Dear Sir—Owing to the annoying conditions between the race there in the United States, I have been asked to be a lawyer undertook the purchase of a large farm containing 1,200 hectares (French measure), with the hope of founding an American colony of colored people on it. And I hereby solicit the cooperation of all who deem it a wise and needed act. This land is situated on the water front, about 14 leagues from this city, on the north. Here is not the coffee plantation, however. Yet, it has been proven that either might be cultivated herein. Brazil does not make any differences on account of race, as you must well know by this time. Though I had concluded that, owing to the disturbed conditions of, the entire world at present, I would not excite the colored people there with any idea of immigration to foreign parts, for patriotic reasons; notwithstanding the fact that I have been thinking along these lines for some time. But I have now concluded that something must be done to rid some of you of the burden of your race. The white Americans are rapidly coming this way now, not the colored people, too? As you well know, God mostly helps those who try to help themselves. It is now up to you to begin to help your people. What I mostly nud at present is financial aid, whereby will soon enable me to invite such as are ready to come! There are two firms of American people recently established here; also a firm of British firms. This was a sore need, however, and will facilitate financial transactions between the two nations directly. There seems to be an American steamship line also established here, all of which you may know about. Still, I speak of them in evidence of the growing attentions of the United States towards this country; the same which have been calling you to for six or seven. But it is not too late yet, and there is money to be made. I have the papers at hand, ready for inspection in case of a possible business transaction. Will sell shares in our project or accept loans through the banks upon reasonable basis. We need at present $2,000, placed at our disposition, to use in the development of these grounds. They consist of about $800 locators of open land and 400 in woodland, and both are handy to the water coast. They are new regular boat line connection in this city, and this constitutes the principle trouble, to begin with, as we shall have to buy a small craft to do our own freighting. But this is, in itself, an advantage, once we get started. So I shall soon be able to give answer to particulars, as I shall go all over the grounds in person, so as to familiarize myself with it. It is a very large tract as you can see. Hoping to hear from you soon, I beg to say that I remain as ever. P.S. There is no use in you trying to hold the poorer colored people there in these Southern States, when you can guarantee them no protection at all. So let us forget self for once, in the service of our people, and our names will be revered when we shall be rome. I. S. M. ONLY THIRTEEN BLUES IN RUSH BY FAIR GATES. Finding, in the investigation Saturday of the rush of Camp Stuart soldiers on the gate of the Fair Grounds Wednesday night, that ninety enlisted men had taken part, of whom but thirteen were members of the Blues, the others being distributed in larger numbers among the remaining organizations at camp, the board, consisting of Lieutenant-Colonel Jo Lane Stern, Major E. W. Bowles and Major Allen Pote, reports of searches in Leitenstein Colony, Salomonsky, the camp commander, that there was no disorder conduct inside the grounds, and recommended that no further action be taken. In addition to the thirteenth members of the cavalry, the column which forced passage into the Fair Grounds was composed of thirty-five members of the Signal Corps, twenty-two members of Company A. Engineers, and twenty members of the Field Hospital. Neither General Manager Saunders, of the State Fair Association, nor any members of the Richmond Police Department testified before the board of inquiry. BOARD RECCOMENDS THAT ... MATTER BE DROPPED With the report of the board are submitted memoranda of the testimony given by the witnesses, copies of the letters sent President Fairfax Harrison, of the State Fair Association, and Chief Werner, of the Richmond police, inviting them to present evidence before the board, and the names of the soldiers who took part in the fair. The report was based upon the testimony of five witnesses, the only ones who appeared. These men all gave their evidence in the morning. In narrating the vents of the inquiry, the board states: "The board took a recount at 12 o'clock, after giving votes to all present, which was published in the afternoon newspaper of the city of Richmond. It was the first time throughout the afternoon to hear any further testimony that might be offered, and did not adjourn until 8 o'clock P. M., but no further witnesses appeared." married as follows: "1. That misery enlisted men, of this chap, whose names and company are shown in paper attached, entered the grounds of the Virginia State Fair Association on October 11, 1918, about 6:30 o'clock without paying the entrance charge. "2. That there was no disorderly or unsoldierly conduct on the part of these men except in entering the Fair Grounds, as stated above. "3. In the opinion of this board, no further action is necessary." GATEKEEPERS APPEAR AS WITNESSES BEFORE BOARD Witnesses who appeared before the board Saturday morning were William Haynes, John C. Heenan and Marlon Farmer, gatekeepers At the Hermitage Road gate, of the Fair Grounds, who witnessed the entry of the soldiers Wednesday night, Major Allen Potts and the soldiers who took part in the affair. Detective Laxton, in charge of the Pinkerton force at the Fair Gurds, stated that he had not seen any disorder in the part of the soldiers, but declined to take oath as a witness in the investigation. Gatekeeper Haynes testified that he considered the going through the gate, without foo, to be a disorder, but that that was all of the disorder he saw on the part of the soldiers. The other gatekeepers concerned in this testimony. The longest of the testimonies submitted by the board in its report was that of Major Potts. This statement was as follows: "I declare that on yesterday morning, Mr. Leigh R. Page, one of the directors, and counsel of the Fair Association; Mr. Barton Grumby and Mr. Smith, members of the board of directors of the Fair Association, and Chief of Police, Captain Sowell, of the Police Department and Justice Crutchfield invited me to a conference in Justice Crutchfield's office in the City Hall. OFFERED TO PAY FOR MEN WHO ENTERED FAIR GROUNDS. "It was stated to me in that meeting by the gentlemen named that the State Fair authorities had no objection to the presence of the soldiers in the Fair Gorounds. I offered to pay for 100 tickets for the soldiers who went in, and this offer was refused on the grounds that they were very glad to have the soldiers. "Mr. Pauke stated to me that he would make this statement in open court, and that the statements purported to have been made by the State Fair officials in a statement published in The TimesDispatch were false. "It was then agreed by all present, except Justice Crucechild, who said nothing, but heard the whole discussion, that the authorities should be turned over to the military authorities if the Mayer of the city agreed. I went with the fair director the Mayer's office, and the Mayor's word to Justice Crucechild that it was agreeable to him to release the soldiers to the military authorities." "Mr. Lange stated in court that he was counsel and on the board of directors of the State Fair Association, and that he had been at all the meetings. This State Fair Association and that this board riot on the part of the soldiers had been discussed at a meeting of the State Fair Association. HAD NOT HEARD OF DISORDER! ON PART OF SOLDIERS "He stated that he had never heart that there had been any violations or disorders in the part of any of the soldiers in the State Fair Grounds, and that he did not believe that there had been any insult offered to any man, woman or child by the soldiers and that he would have been obliged to have known it if such a thing had happened. "He said that he doubted if a statement was made by any fair employee which was a criticism of the United States uniform worn by the soldiers, and that the whole matter had been made from a molehill into a mountain and that the criticism had been in The TimesDispatch, and that the only charge of rowdyism and blackguardism had been in The TimesDispatch, and that none of the officials of the Fair Grounds had made such a statement, and that if such a statement had been made it war without the knowledge and approval of the board of directors. REQUESTED FAIR ASSOCIATION TO FURNISH WITNESSES "I know that the board has a reply from the directors of the State Fair to a letter addressed them by this investigating board offering to send all of the people who knew anything of the alleged disorder to appear before this board this morning. I know that a copy of this letter was sent to the Chief of Police with the request that he send any of the police who knew anything of the alleged disorder to be before the board, know that Mr. Layton has stated that the fair people had no further witnesses to send. "It was stated in The Times-Dispatch that Mr. Saunders, the general manager of the fair, made certain statements reflecting upon the soldiers. Mr. Saunders has been reached three times this morning and asked to appear before this board. He has declined to do so." The men charged with the disorder testified that they did not know of any disturbance and disorder created by soldiers in the grounds—Times-Dispatch, Oct. 16. National Colored Churcheship Congress called by National Equal Rights League. Send Out Address to the Country (Read by Mr. W. S. Spencer, Oct 8, 1916, in John Wesley A. M. E. Xlon Church, Washington, D. C.) On January 1st, 1933, Abraham Lincoln taught the Presidency of Immigration establishing slavery in this country: The states of the United States where the statutes are enacted, in order followed the great proclamation by the enactment of statutes annulating it within their several borders; and the national government by the enactment of the 15th Amendment to the Federal Constitution finally put the power in Federal agencies to prevent its recurrence on American soil. For over a century, the Civil War peonage was practiced in the South; which has never become thoroughly reconciled to the laws prescribing equality of citizenship. WORKS OF THE SOUTH. This fact is seen in the widespread effort to defeat the great purposes of the War Amendment, by the enactment of laws making the disfranchisement of the race a practical reality; by provisions for the separation of Colored passengers from all other racial elements on common carriage; by legislation for residential segregation. The lynching of thousands of Colored men and women charged with offenses never proven in the courts of justice, has become almost a national disease. These social disorders are the aftermath of slavery, and we appeal to all fair-minded men and women, to the unified men and women, to the effort to put in a nation-wide effort to correct these abuses to the end that justice may prevail in all sections of our Republic. WORTH AND CAPICITY OF COLORED AMERICANS The great progress of the Colored race since the day of their liberation from bondage has been made in the face of stupendous difficulties—in the face of hate and prejudice, proscription and injustice, and in all the more remarkable because of the powerful influence exerted by these cell agonies. The race has greatly multiplied in numbers, and in usefulness. It has reduced its illiteracy to a very low percentage. It has multiplied, in wealth and lands. In religious, educational and industrial movements, it has become an important factor in the national life, with ever increasing efficiency. Wherever the door of opportunity has been opened to them, colored Americans have demonstrated their determination in the most exacting requirement of our civilization. The Colored people have made notable contributions to Science, Invention, Art and Literature, and their achievements in our national wars have maintained at high level the best military traditions of this nation. We desire to express to the friends of liberty and justice for all men throughout this broad land, our grateful appreciation for every service of any character which they have rendered in the past. We nothing but Justice, and that equality of rights and that equal opportunity which are denied to none of the other groups in this country, because of race. AGAINST REACTIONARY MOVEMENT We denounce the segregation of Colored employees in the civil service of the Federal government as un-American, unjust, a wicked, shameful and disastrous abuse of power. We denounce the spirit of those so-called representatives of the people in the halls of Congress, who are constantly seeking to deactivate the Colored race by the introduction of reactionary legislation which beholds to a past age and which the great body of the American people outcrop. RACIAL ORGANIZATION We call upon the leaders of our race in every section of our country to unselfishly guide the people through the difficulties by which they are beset, and to organize them locally and nationally to resist and combat dental of civil and political rights, and especially the policy of separation from fellow Americans of every race in the purification, opposing segregation, the persecution of race prejudice. Those who have wisdom let their counsel be heard. Those who have wealth, let them stand, and materially where the need is great. Those who have courage, let them stand and contend for justice.

SAUNDERS, hiding in the brush, cursed Tenlow's stupidity. To have let Colle go on and have followed him under cover would have been the only sensible plan. Rapidly approximating the outcome of the mudslide, Saunders untied his pony and rode back toward the ranch, taking an unnield and densely covered bridle trail. Frown up in this canyon came the thunder of the rising car. Far above them Tenlow and Colle could see it gliding round a turn in the road. It disappeared in a dip, to reappear almost instantly, gliding swiftly down the long slant toward the valley. The staccato drumming of the exhaust echoed along the hillside. Overland's silk hat shone briskly in the sun. Beside the outlaw was the figure of a woman. Tenlow foresaw complications and muttered profanely. Down the next ditch rolled the car, rocking to the unevenness of the mountain road. Overland opened the © D. J. L. Collie's Reply Was a Flail-like Blow Between Tenlow's Eyes. throttle, the machining shot forward and in a few seconds drew up abreast of the deputy. "Thank you so much, Mr. Summers," said Louise, stopping from the car. "How are you, Mr. Tenlow." "How do, Miss Lacharme." "Goodby, Mr. Summers. I enjoyed the ride very much." "Just a minute"—began the deputy. "Where's my pony, Collie? He didn't get away, did he." "No, man'am, Mr. Tenlow requalitioned him. Thought I'd wait till you came along so I could explain." "Requisitioned my pony! What do you mean?" "It's this way, Miss Lacharme. That man there in the machine is wanted. He—" "What has that to do with my pony, please?" "I guess you know who he is. I figured bo ho was layin' to get away on that pony." "You want to go back to school, partner, and learn to figure correct," said Overland, his foot on the accelerator pedal of the throbbing car. "One minus one is nothin'." "Hold on thor!" cried Tenlow, striding forward. Loomie stood between the deputy and the car. "My horse, please," she said quietly. As she spoke the car roared, jumped forward and shot down the smooth grade of the valley road. "Now, Mr. Tenlow, I wish you would explain this to me and then to Uncle Walter. I sent one of our men with a horse. He was to wait for me here. What right have you to interfere with him? "I guess I got as much right as you have to interfere with me," said Tenlow sulkily. "Hold on thor!" cried Collie, jumping forward. "Take my horse, Miss Louise," said Cattie Smushing. "No. Mr. Tenlow will get him, I am sure." "A woman can make any deal look smooth—if she is interested," said Tenlow, turning toward the brush. He came out leading the pony. "Thank you. Collea, you may get the mad, please." Collea stood watching her as she rode away. Then, with much deliberation, he tied his own pony Apache to a clump of greasewood. He unbuckled his belt and fung it, with gun and holster, to the ground. "Now," he said, his face blazing white with suppressed anger. "I'm going to make you eat that speech about any woman making things look smooth—if she's interested." "You go on home or I'll break you in town," said Tenlow. Officer reply was a full-like blow between Tucker's open. The deputy staggered, grinned his mouth and fumed himself at the younger man. The light was unsecured from the beginning. Apache arrested and gliding as the bomber The Led Horse. "How'do, Miss Lacharpe." "Oilte. I'll talk with him." "I don't him," said Collie. crushed and crackled. A few minutes later Tenlow strode from the brush leading his pony. He wiped the blood and sweat from his face and spat viciously. Louise, riding homeward slowly, heard a horse coming behind her. She ruined Sarko and waited. Collee saw no way out of it, so he rode up, grinning from a bruised and battered face. "Why, Collee!" The young man grinned again. His lips were swollen, and one eye was nearly closed. Dismounting, Louise stepped to the ford. "Oh I'm sorry!" she cried. "Your face is terribly bruised. And your eye"— She could not help smiling at Collee's ludicrous appearance. "I took a fall," he mumbled blandly. "Apache here is tricky at times." Louisne's gaze was direct and reponchful. "Here, let me bathe your face. Stoop down, like that. You don't look so badly, now that the dirt is off. Surely you didn't fall on your eye?" Collie tried to laugh, but the effort was not very successful. Tenderly she bithed his brushed face. Her neatness, her touch, made him forget the pain. Suddenly he nuzzled her hand and kissed it, leaving a stain of blood where his lips had touched. She was thrilled with a mingled feeling of pride and shame—a pride in that he had fought because of her, as she knew well enough, and shame at the brutality of the affair, which she understood as clearly as though she had witnessed it. She was too honest to make herself believe she was not flattered in a way, but she made Collie think otherwise. He evaded her direct questioning stubbornly. Finally she taked whether Mr. Towlow "find taken a fall" or not. "Sure be glad!" replied Collea. "A couple or three years ago—tryin' to outside Overland Real. Don't you remember?" "Collea you're a regular hypocrite." "Yes, ma'am." "And you look—frightful." "Yes, ma'am." "You're not a bit ashamed." "Yes, mama, I am." "Don't say 'Yes, mama,' all the time. You don't seem to be ashamed. Why should you be, though? Because you were fighting?" "No, Miss Lohise. Because I got licked." Louise mounted Sarko and rode beside Colleilently. Presently she touched his arm. "But did you? she naked; her eyes grave and her tone conveying a subtle question above the mere letter." "Not. By thunder!" he exclaimed. "Not in a hundred years." "Well, get some raw meat from the cook. I'll give your explanation to Dr. and Mrs. Marshall, for you will have to be ready for the trip tomorrow. You will have to think of a better explanation for the boys." While riding homeward, Louise dropped her glove. Colleil was about instantly and picked it up. "Can I keep it?" he said. The girl looked curiously at him for a moment. "No, I think not, Colleo," she said gently. Colleo rode up to the corrals that afternoon whistling as blithely as he could, considering his injuries. He continued to whistle as he mowed Apache. At the bunk house Brand Williams looked at him once and bent double with silent laughter. The boys badgered him unmercifully. "Fell off a boast!—Go tell that to a chink!—Who stepped on your face, kid!—Beerridin' on your map, eh!—Where was the wreck?—Who sewed up your eye!" "B-ah, fellas," said Miguel, grinning. "If you make all that noise how you going to hear the tune he is whistling, boy!" Colleo glanced at Saunders, who had said nothing. "Got anything to offer on the subject, Silent!" he asked. "Nope. I take mine out in thinkin'." "You're going to have a chance to do a whole lot more of it before long" said Collie, and he said it with a suggestiveness that did not escape the taciturn foreman, Brand Williams. A letter from Overland informed Collie that his share in the mine to date was $5,000, and he began planning to buy a ranch. Hearing that the Oro foreman had offered a Yuma "outlaw" horse to any Moonstoner who could ride her, Collie determined to win the prize. "I hear that you intend to ride the outlaw Yunn. In it so!" Louise inquired. Collie nodded, "I had rather you didn't," said Louise. "Why?" asked Collie tactlessly. Louise did not answer, and Collie strode off feeling angry with himself and more than ever determined to risk breaking his neck to win the outlaw. Collie, miffed because Louise selected Miguel to ride her pony Boyar in the races, placed bets against Boyar and on a buckskin pony backed by the Oro Mexicana. Boyar, the Moonstone pony, ran second in the finals. The buckskin of the Mexicans won first place. Collie collected his winning indifferently. He strolled over to the crowd, finding a place for himself on the curved burn. Mat Gleason, supervisor of the THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Oro ranch, logged, his back against a post. Two men, with ropes, were following the roan pony round the corral. Presently a rata slipped out and fell. Inch by inch the outlaw was worked to the snubbing post. One of the Oro riders seked the pony's ear in his teeth and, singing his legs round her neck, hung, weighing her head down. There was the flash of teeth, a grunting tug at the cinchas, a cloud of dust, and Jasper Lane, Foreman of the Oro outfit, was in the saddle. The cloud of dust following the roan pony grew denser. Above the dap cloud a southerno swung and fro fanning the outlaw's ears. Jasper Lane had essayed to ride the Yuma colt once before. His broken shoulder had set nicely—in fact, better than Bull O'Toole's leg which had been broken when the outlaw fell on him. Billy Squires, a young Montana punch, working for the Oro people, still carried his arm in a sling. All in all, the assembled company, as Brand Williams put it, "were beginning to take notice of that copper colored she-son of a cresolone." Jasper Lane plied spurs and quilt. The visiting cowmen shuffled their delight. The pony was brauchte from the end of her long, switching tail to the tip of her pink muzzle. Following a quick tattoo of hoofs on the baked earth came a flash like the trout's leap for the fly—a curving plunge—the sound as of a breaking willow branch, and then palpitating silence. The dun cloud of dust settled, disclosing the foam flecked, sweet blackened celt, oddly beautiful in her polished immobility. Near her hay Jasper Lane face downward. The pony sniffed at his crumpled sombré. "That horse is plumb gentle," said Collie. "Look at her." "Crazy with the beat," commented Billy Dime, vixing his thumb toward Collie. Tall, slim, slow of movement, Colleli allipped from the corral barn and secured the dangling reins. The cowmen carried Jasper Lane toward the ranch house. Some one laughed. Gleason, the superintendent, gazed at the outlaw pony and fingered his belt. "That's the fourth," he said slowly and distinctly. "She ain't worth it." "The fourth Orchardler," said a voice. "You ain't countin' any Moonstone riders." "Ain't seen any to count," retorted Gleason, and there was a general laugh. Strongly enough the outlaw pony followed Colleon quietly as he led her A toward Glennon. "The boys say there a bit up that nobody can stick on her two minutes. Shake the bet. Is that right?" said Collie. "What you golf' to doff" queried Glennon, and some of the Oro boys laughed. "I don't know yet," said Collie. "Maybe I take her back to the Moonstone with me." Miguel of the Moonstone removed his sword and gravelly passed it "Flowers for the Collie kid," he said soberly. Collie, grieve, alert, a little white beneath his tinn, called for Williams to hold the joy. Then the younger man talking to her meanwhile, slipped off the brittle and adjusted a back夹 in its pince. He tightened the clenches. The man had ceased joking. Excidently the kid meant business. Next he removed his spurs and dung them, with his quirt, in coorner. "Just defending yourself, eh, Yuma girl!" he said. "They cut all the sense out of you with a horse killin' bit and rip you with the spur and expect you to behave." "Hell be teachin' her to say her prayers next," observed Bud Light. "He's gettin' a spell on her now." "Hell need all his for himself," said Pans Long. The pony finched and sided away as Collie tried to mount. Her glossy ears were flattened and the rims of her eyes showed white. "Jump!" whispered Williams. "And don't rough her. Mebby you'll win out." With a leap the Moonstone rider was in the saddle. The pony shook her head as he reined her round toward the corral gate. The men stared. Gleason swore. "Here's where she goes to it," said Williams. "Whooop! Let 'er back!" abouted the crowd. Rebellion swelled in the pony's rippling muscles. She waited, for feet braced, for the first sting of the quilt. The first rip of the spurs, to turn herself into a hellish thing of plunging destruction. Collie, leaning forward, patted her neck. "Come on, sis. Come on, Tump." BEL. You're just a little hummingh. You can't a real horse." With a leap the jony reared. Still there came no sting of spur or quirk. She dropped to her feet. Collie he cleverly consumed a minute of the lotted time. "One minute!" called Williams holding the watch. "Why, that ain't ridin'," grumbl an Anro man. "See you later!" said Williams, a several of his companions locked him strangely. The fourmen were fixed on the watch. Collie had also heard, and he held his unsurrounded hooks into the pavement. She leaned straight to the gate and freedom. With a patter of hoofs, she legged, she jolted toward the plain. A few short jumps, a fishlike swift sideways, and still Collie held his scept. He caused the backamore a little. He was breathing hard. The horse took up the slack with a vicious plunge, hand downward. The boy's face grew white. He felt something warm trickling down his mouth and chin. He threw back his head and gripped with his knees. "They're off!" hallowed a puncher. "Only one of 'em so far," said Williams. "One minute and thirty seconds." Then, like a bolt of copper light, the pony trot forward at a run. On the run, house veranda set Walter Stone, conversing with his host where several girls bright faced and gowned in cool white, were taking and laughing. The pony hooded "stir" for the veranda. The laughing group jerked to their feet. Curious but bored, swinging the horse more to the rear. --- --- L. J. HAYDEN Manufacturer of Pure Herb Medicines J. B. TO CURE ALL DISEASES OF 220 W.

Still, he gripped the saddle with rigid knees. The outlaw bucked again and tugged herself violently sideways, turning completely round, Collie pitched drunk only as the horse came down again and again. His eyes were blurred and his brain grew jumple. 'Paintly he heard Brand Williams cry: "Two minutes! Moonstone whine." Then came a chisper. His gripping knees relaxed. He reeled in and all around him the air grew stricken with slices of pleuring fire. He pitched his foot forward at the feet of the group on the veranda. In a twitch Louise Lacharine was beside him kneeling and supporting his hand. "Water!" she cried, wiping his face with her handkerchief.

JOHN MITCHELL, JR... EDITOR All communications intended for publication should be sent as an e-mail to Wednesday Date at the Post Office at Nielsenand, Tel. as second class matter SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1916 When you can cultivate the friend ship of white folks without sacrificing the principle, do it. The continued success of evil has resulted in a worldwide war, and this country is doing all that it can to keep out of it. We do not mean to insult anybody, or to hurt anybody, feelings, but somewhat inscription in this direction is meant the wind by repeated aggrievances. --- The guest Winston Wilson has a forth, virtually forced to go on the stump. The outlook for his re- creation is not bright and the speeches make it. Cynthia Curtis E. Brown have had a telling effect. Two others then were typed in longer by this week and their bodies burned. They were not charged with criminal assault. One of them was only charged with sympathizing with the other one. The power of the law can be inspirative when it comes to red folio in Kentucky. The minds of colored people are now bound to the Southland, and the promise of more money and better treatment is the underlying argument changed in support of the movement. Those who remain here should be sentenced, no waiver are now higher than ever before, and those in authority are showing disposition to not only improve the condition of colored people but to record them better treatment. The origin of Rev. A. A. Hirsch in withdrawing his appeal to the Hunting, Court, and Jupiter Jones J. Curtinism in dismissing the case will be cordially approved by all citizens who have taken the time and trouble to investigate the facts in the case Rev. Hirsch compiled with the order of the conductor on the street car when he moved his seat the first time. We felt certain that the Virginia Railway and Power Company would coerce in just such action as was taken. --- During the time since the public school system was established, no member of the Richmond City School Board was more deservedly popular than Mr F C Emil, chairman of that body. His retirement from its membership has caused universal regret in this city. A gentleman of charm, personality, magnetic influence and a devotion to duty that was indeed a distinguishing characteristic, his retirement is regarded as hardly short of a calamity in school circles. He is in the prime of life, and it is hoped that prosperity will follow him to the end of his useful career. --- The Richmond City Council made no mistake when it selected Mr. F. Lawson Curtinfield as the successor to the brilliant Mr. F. C. Enzl. He is young, energetic, thoughtful and able. He served for years as assistant to the Clerk of the Hustings Court of this city, being the chief deputy. He is diplomatic, approachable, and he has the interest of the city at heart. The entire city, or at least that portion of it that has had even a passing acquaintance with this brilliant young Richmond, will cordially approve the course that the City Fathers have taken in this matter. In the matter of ability and popularity, the distance from Mr. Enzl. to Mr. Curtinfield is but a short-step. We disavow any intention to any or intimate that Ex-President W. W. Cullinsworth took any other liberty with the individual who was in the female toilet with him, then the necessary attention he gave to her as a result of her indisposition. The point was then, and is now, that he was on the inside of the apartment with the door locked, and this, as viewed by official authority, constituted conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman. The affair was unfortunate and was only taken up and discussed by this journal after it had been published in all of the daily papers of the city and after official action had been taken by the duly constituted authorities, and after the very able City Attorney had ruled that this action on the part of the aforesaid city officials was final and that an appeal did not lie. We could not have any personal feeling against the accused officer, for we did not know him, and we only discussed his case from the fact that at the time he was a public officer, and as such, was in the service and the pay of the city. Any citizen had the legal right to express an opinion upon his conduct. As he stated in his interview in the News Leader, his mistake was made in locking the door. It was also in not calling some friend to the indisposed passenger. THE TROOPS AND THE POLICE The official escapade of some of the members of the Richmond Light Industry Buses did not begin the enthrallment of those who saw them leave for the Marian border. It is a question that to whether the trouble was caused by the trooper by the police. We have always contended that if some judgment was exercised, these outfits would not take place. It would have been easier and more satisfactory to have justified the regimental or beltrade headquarters of the station of the men. A total of soldiers would have been at at once to "round-up" the element that forced their way through the fort gate. As it was, a tracer was narrowly averted and much troop was narrowly averted not only for the official, but for the military authority, while the impression was sent all over the country that we were at a point of relief of prisoners down to Mexico. In its preserving order. It may be that conditions will change some time and that sound judgment will be exercised in handling these kind of cases. If the older men on the police force were called in to oversee the control and to restrain the irresponsible elements on the police force, we are of the opinion that an improved condition of affairs would be beneficial. A PECULIAR CONDITION --- "The National Baptist Union Records is the only one of the third alt. says" "John Mitchell, Jr., Baptist, editor, taker, has joined the "Pussyfoster" and weekly his Planet has something to say derogatory of the matchless Dr K H Boyd, who, under God, has given a strength and sense of material security to Baptists herebefore entirely unknown. Nobody questions Brother Mitchell's course. In matters of judgment, however, no one has pro- claimed him infallible." We cannot understand how our contemporary can truthfully charge that we have ever made any statement derogatory of Rev. Du R. H. Boyd. We have disagreed with him and criticised his attitude, but we have never said anything derogatory of him, either as a businessman, Christian or a gentleman. We are charitable enough to believe that the editor of the Union-Historian wrote the editorial in question without examining the files of the Plant. We have criticised the position taken by Dn. Boyn, and we have stated just what we thought he should do in the premises, but this was a matter of opinion and we most assuredly have a right to our opinion and in passing, we pause to remark that the disinguished pulpleteer, Dn. Boyn, possesses the same right. To charge us with being a "pussy-footer" is too ridiculous to require either comment or denial. We are known to speak right out in the meeting, and a "pussy-footer" does not do that. --- WHITE SOLDIERS ON A RAMPAGE Human nature is about the same, the world over. What we want in know is, what pre we to think of the following escapade of the troops encamped at Camp Stuart? The Richmond (Va.) Times-Dispatch, of the 12th inst., says: "Becoming incensed at the refusal of the Virginia State Fair Association to grant them special privileges, although officials had reduced the general admittance price for their benefit, between 200 and 300 soldiers stationed at Camp Henry Carter Stuart, in Sherwood Park, stormed Hermitage Road gate at the Fair Grounds yesterday afternoon. about 6:30 o'clock, overpowering the guards and special officers. The soldiers scattered poll molt through the grounds, sweeping many women and children before them. "Formal complaint against such behavior by the soldiers at the Fair Grounds will be made today to Governor Stigart by General Manager W. Conway Saunders, of the Fair Association. Two soldiers were later arrested by the city police, and will be held for trial this morning. The men were Sergent R. M. Glinn, of the Engineers Corpe, and Private E. S. Pampin, the former, having two charges filed against him of disorderly conduct and resisting an officer in the discharge of his duties. Pampin is charged with disorderly conduct. This was bad enough, but it was followed by another outbreak. It says: "Soldiers caused a second outbreak late last night, which nearly resulted in a riot, and forced Policemen Shipp and R. H. Sowell, Jr., to draw their pistols for their own protection against about twenty-five militiamen from Camp Stuart. The officers, however, finally placed five members of the party under arrest, and they will be arraigned in Police Court, probably this morning. The men arrested are R. L. Marshall, Charles E. Yssman, S. H. Galway, M. R. McLennurus and B. Harks Their rank and commands were not stated. "During the early night there was evidence that some of the soldiers were not entirely willing to recognize the authority of the city police officers. Shortly after 10 o'clock last night Policeman Skipp and Sowell walked down the lower end of the Midway, and there found a soldier from the camp acting in a disorderly manner. He was arrested on the charge of being drunk and disorderly. "Hardly had the arrest been made when a sergeant from Camp Stuart, who had been detained after the first disorder to watch over the actions of the privates, came up to the officers and attempted to take the prisoners from Shipman. Sowell then demanded the prisoner from the noncommits soldier. The officer called to his ad about the militia that had gathered and they were told in substance to drive the police officers away. Matters had taken such a turn that Shipp and Sowell were forced to draw their revolvers before they could handle the men, and it was only then that the soldiers were quoted. Effort were made by the special police officer and Diphterton detectives arrested at the gate to hold back the arms of soldiers, but they formed a closed compound like that crushed. It all restores the officers with master. Once in the grounds, the broke into general disorder and pushed down Ballyhoe Lane to the Midway. In the rush many women and old children were caught, and several were wiped to their knees. Pollenman Wilson, stationed at a point near where the two thoroughfares meet, was knocked to his knees by the soldiers in his attempt to protect several women and children. As a last resort he was forced to draw his night stick before he could control the wild unformed rolters." We pause to remark that these are white soldiers. The police officers did not club any one of them and they did not fire on any of the disorderly defenders of the nation. There is no alteration either than the soldiers were drunk. It may be, after all, that this is God's way of bringing it all about. Colored folks should continue to be careful of their conduct. It must not police officers, but report them for any direction of duty. Some day it will be understood that the colored continent has always upheld the law and that certain white elements have been forward in violating it. + "IGNOBLE EASE" AND PEACE. + FUL SLOTH. ARE + NOT PEACE. There is nothing that we of this country so much need as to practice the doctrine of service. As a people we need the sterner virtues even more than we need the softer virtues. Material prosperity, bodily ease, money, pleasure, are all desirable; but woe to us if we consider them as the beall and end all of our private lives or of our collective national life! Woe to us if our material prosperity belongs in its wake lethargy of spirit and deadness of soul! Let us in our lives apply the great doctrines of duty and of service. Above all let us realize that lofty profession is a mischievous sham when it is not translated into efficient performance. Among the companions of Lucifel in Milton's mighty epic there was none among the fiercer friends so dangerous as he who "With words clothed in rea- With words clothed in reason's garb, Counselled ignoble ease and peaceful aloth, Not peace." From the Speech of Colonel Roosevelt at Battle Creek, Michigan, in Behalf of Mr. Hughes. President Wilson seems to have founded his diplomacy on a rock which is off its best most of the time. The Eastern wife with persist in referring to the Secretary of the Navy as Miss Josephine Daniela. No wonder the Women's Party is camping on the trail of the Administration! Mr. Wilson forgot to mention the pledges of economy in the 1012 platform. "In his diplomy," says Olive James, "the President has sounded a new note." What, another one? It begins to appear that that single-truck mind system will have to be temporarily double-tracked. As few works hence, of course, it will be self-tracked. New Orleans, La., Oct. 17—Judge Porter Parker, in Civil Court Circuit here late today, dismissed the mandamus suit recently, filed by five employees of the Municipal Public Belt Railroad, which sought to compel the registrar of voters to remove from the white registration rolls the name of John H. Joubert, secretary and general manager of the belt line. The petitioners charged that Joubert was of Negro descent. In dismissing the suit Judge Parker said Joubert had proved undoubtedly that there was no Negro blood in his family. Several persons testified regarding the definition of the Spanish word "mestera," which was applied to Joubert's great-grandmother in the record of her marriage. That the word signified the offspring of whites and Indians and was not applied to persons of Negro blood, was testified by Francisco S. Carbajal, provisional president of Mexico for a time in 1914, and formerly justice of Mexico's Supreme Court; Rev. Father Michael Murphy, instructor of ethics and philosophy at Loyola University, and Raeafel Maltall, instructor of Spanish at the Tulane College of Commerce and Business Administration. Joubert's mother testified that she was born in Hamburg, Germany; and was married in St. Augustine's church here in 1850, to Charles Joubert. She declared all her ancestors were Caucasians. The rector and keeper of the archives of St. Augustine's testified that a paupied letter "C," which he understood signified "colored," was written beside the marriage record of Joubert's parents and the marriage had been recorded in that part of the book which contained records of Negro marringes. The keeper of the archives at St. Louis Cathedral, testified that the marriage record of Joubert's grandparents was contained in the book for Negroes. He said frequently in former days births, marriages and deaths of Indians also were entered in the book for Negroes. Dr. W. T. O'RILLY, president of the City Board of Health, testified that in the old birth records an abbreviation "Col" had been added after the names of Blau, F. Joubert, the descendant's grandfather, and two other grandmothers of his family. The obliteration, the witness said, was written in different ink from that used in the original record. Jonhurt recently filled charges of criminal libel against forty-three employees of the Public Bell Railroad who signed a petition to Mayor Behrman, in which they alleged Jonhurt was colored. A stuttering charge was also filed against H. Hoppe Launsee, order of little and harringes for the city board of health. Y. M. C. A. NOTES The Y. M. C.

I appeal to my fellow citizens that they shall appoint Mr. Hughes and redictate Mr. Wilson because only by so doing can they save America from that taint of good selfishness and cowardice which we owe to Mr. Wilson's substitution of adroit, accustomed for straightforward action. The permanent interest the American people be, not in ease and comfort for the moment, no matter how obtained, as Mr. Wilson would teach us; but in resolute championship of the ideals of national and international democratic duty, and in preparedness to make this championship effective by our strength. President dent Wilson embodies in his person that most dangerous doctrine which teaches our people that when fronted with really formidable responsibilities we can shirk trouble and labor and risk, and avoid duty by the simple process of drugging our souls with the narcotic of meaningless phraseongering. Mr. Hughes, to the exact contrary, embodies the ideal of service rendered through conscientious effort in the face of danger and difficulty. Mr. Wilson turns his words into deeds only if this can be achieved by adroit political meavering, by bartering a debauched civil service for congressional votes on behalf of some measure which he had solemnly promised to oppose. Our own self-respect demands that we support the man of deeds done on the open against the man of furtive wills, and political maneuvers; the man of service against the man who whenever opposed by a dangerous foe always takes refuge in empty贮窿.—From the Speech of Col. Roosevelt at Battle Creek, Michigan, in B. half of Mr. Hughes. The first President and the first Congress that ever submitted to a hold-up And, by the way, nobody will ever be able to claim this was a regular Democratic Administration unless we have a final issue before March 4. 1917. --- Betting on Hughes and Wilson is dangerous both to Democrats and Republicans. In one of the New England states such a bet was made a few days ago. The officers heard of it, and they arrested the Republican on a charge of robbery and sent the Democrat to an insane asylum. He careful. --- ```markdown ``` WASHINGTON AND LINCOLN PUT RIGHTEOUSNESS BEFORE PEACE. The supporters of Mr. Wilson say that the American people should vote for him because he has sept. 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 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 unjust or wanton or reckless war. But they possessed that stern valor of patriotism which bade them put duty first, not safety first, which bade 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 Tories. There were peace at any price men in the days of Lincoln. They were the Copperheads. The men who now with timid hearts and quarvering voices praise Mr. Wilson for having kept us out of war are the spiritual heirs of the Tories of 1776 and the Copperheads of 1864. The men who followed Washington at Trenton and Yorktown and who suffered with him through the winter at Valley Forge and the men who wore the Blue under Grant and the Gray under Lee were men of valor, who sacrificed everything to serve the right as it was given them to see the right. They spurred with contemptuous indignation the counsels of the feeble and cowardly folk who in their day spoke for peace at any price.

BREEDER OF POOR MORALS Florida Judge Sees Many "Hold-Up" Men in New York. In passing sentence on Hans Edward Thompson and Fred Uffelman, found guilty recently of compspiracy to smuggle jewelry into the United States, Judge Sheppard, of Florida, sitting on special assignment in the federal district court in New York, said he thought that if he were in New York ten years he might "almost be tempted to beat Uncle Sam himself." "This is not a place calculated to breed good morals," said the judge. "The way a man is held up in New York city for taxable fares and hotel charges, I can hardly blame him for trying to put one over once in a while." The jewelry which the prisoners attempted to smuggle into the country was valued at $1,000. They were sentenced to serve thirteen months in the federal penitentiary at Atlanta, Ga.

A GENERAL SURVEY OF THE WAR WEDNESDAY. Berlin reports that the Rumanian forces that invaded Bulgaria by crossing the Danube, south of Bucharest, have been withdrawn as the result of an encircling movement by von Mackensen. Unofficial despatches from Potzgrad report a Russian success in the drive for Lemberg.

THURSDAY. The Invasion of Bulgaria by Rumanian troops which crossed the Danube near Rahovo in the rear of the main battle line in Dolbrudja has ended most disastrously for the invaders, according to Sollia, their force being scattered and virtually wiped out.

SUNDAY On none of the various little frights in Europe has any material change taken place. Probably the most important development is the forced withdrawal of the German troops in the region of Kronstadt, Fogar and Hermannstadt in the face of superior forces, mainly made up of Germans. In the Debbula region of Romania, the Russians and Romanians are at vancing southward against the Teuniton allies, according to the threshest. In Macedonia, the concluding alliance have been enforced for the most part in artillery drills. A like condition prevails on the Austrian front. On the western front in France, the British have captured all of the town of Le Sare, and also made gains north and northeast of Courchelle and southwest of Guedicourt.

Rev. H. J. Hammacker, pastor of the Second Presbyterian church, in all dressing the annual convention of the Mercer County Sunday School association, in Trenton, N.J. scored the songs and bimma of the Billy Sunday campain. "Billy Sunday's hymn back is a punk thing for a Sunday." he said. "It's the punest thing ever written. We are singing hymns to ragtime. The music is written for commercial purposes. Take the words from the music and you have a thing. Take the music from the words and you have nothing. "It may be all right for a big crowd in a tabernacle with 'Body' and his horn, but it is no good in a Sunday school. It's punk. We don't want new hymns. But we do want the good, old ones. Let's get back to the old-fashioned hymns." BULGARS F03CED BACK Retiree-Towards Serces Before British Attack.

Editorial Comments Mr. Hughes has made Mr. Wilson's policy of deciding a case and then getting the facts afterward one of the most pittable exhibitions of weakness that even the present administration can give. "Peace, preparativeness and prosperity are claimed at the Democratic campaign cries. More appropriate ones would be "Pile, pork and piffle." And now nobody seems to know exactly what the new wage law means or to whom it applies. Another illustration of Democratic inefficiency. The Democratic congress has voted a tariff on dyes, thereby declaring in favour of the principle of protection. How the party does change its colors. --- If President Wilson were really cannest in telling the suffrage women "I come to fight for you" he would have put a suffrage measure through congress by the same stop watch method that he used to force the railway wage increase bill through. Shadow Lawn, as a residence for the next few weeks, will give its occupant an opportunity to get accustomed to the after election gloom. Here is reason enough why Mr. Wilson should be defeated. Why should Mr. Hughes be preferred?

GRAVE DEMANDS MADE ON GREECE Presentation of New Note of "Gravest Character" Accompanied by Landing of Naval Forces. Vice Admiral Fournet, commander of the Anglo-French fleet in the Mediterranean, has handed the Greek government a new note of extremely grave character, says a despatch to the London Exchange Telegraph company from Athens, dated Monday. Following the presentation of the note King Constantine, it is added, came to the capital in haste from the royal residence at Tatol. The railroad stations of Athens and Piraeus, the city ball at the capital and the Castilla barracks, have been occupied by French and Italian sailors to the number of 1000 while 150 blue jackets, with two machine guns, have been stationed in the municipal theatre, according to a Reuter despatch from Athens. The allies have taken over the Greek battleships Kiklis (formerly the United States battleship Idaho), the Lennos (formerly the Mississippi), and the Averoff, says Reuters. Athens correspondent. Allied troops were put aboard and the Greek crew sent to Athens. (On October II, the allies took over the entire Greek fleet except the Kiklis, Lennos and Avrooff. This measure, it was explained unofficially, was intended to insure the safety of the allied fleet, as fears had been aroused of a disturbance at points where the war vessels of the allies were anchored.) Bucharest reports that on the Rumanian northern and northwestern fronts, to the west of Tuljez, attacks of the enemy were repulsed. The fighting continues. In the Blicas valley hostile attacks were repulsed. Rumanian troops are holding their positions to the west of the frontier. In the Trutus valley, where the Teutons have advanced as far as Agas, fighting in proceeding. Dempatches from Bucharest show that bitter fighting is still going on in all the Transylvania passes. The Rumanians' retreat from Transylvania, it is understood, was chiefly due to the heavy guns of the Austro-Germans, which outranched the Rumanian artillery. Military experts direct attention chiefly to the Predaeal and Buzue passa, the former leading directly to the valuable oil fields of Prahova valley, while the latter is the road to the important railway junction of Buzue connecting Bucharest with northern Rumania and Russia. In neither of these passas have the invaders made any serious headway as yet. Bucharest despatches generally regard the situation optimistically. They point out that it is only necessary for the Rumanian forces to hold out a short time before the cold weather sets in. The winter will enable the shifting of numerous Rumanian formations from points where winter campaigne are impossible. Petrograd reports that in Dobrudja "firing is taking place along the whole line." SLAIN BY STRANGER Brakeman Who Wanted to be Planist Slain in Maryland. Harry W.

The German positions on both sides of the Somme were under heavy artillery fire the whole day. "Enemy trenches were entered by us west of Serre (north of the Ancre river)," says the British report. "Otherwise there is nothing to report." The French statement says: "North of the Somme we occupied a new group of houses in Salilly Sallisael. The enemy delivered a violent counter attack and succeeded in penetrating a portion of our front line. An immediate counter attack entirely drove him out. The number of prisoners made in the course of our counter attack was ninety. We captured two machine guns. "South of the river Somme a fresh attack on our positions at burgoyne En-Santorine was broken by our fire. PARKER TALKS FOR WILSON Incidentally Reveals T. R. Has Re- Rolled as Progressive. John M. Parker, Progressive vice presidential candidate, addressing an audience of Progressives in Schenectad, N. Y., urged them to support President Wilson for re-election, declaring that while Hughes is an estimable man personally, "God alone knows who stands behind him in his campaign." He scored Theodore Roosevelt and George W. Perkins for what he term- died their betrayal of the Progressive party in the Chicago convention, and declared Perkins told him in New York Saturday that both he and Roosevelt had just enrolled again as Progressives. He praised Wilson's legislative accomplishments as "truly progressive" and gave as the 1916 national slogan for Progressives, "Let well enough alone."

THE NORTHWEST PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA THEIR HOUSE WAS ROBBED The Murderer Tried to Burn the Man's Corpse—Possie Beeks the Assassin. A double murder was unearthed when the bodies of Andrew Frey thirty, and his sister, Marie, twenty, were found in a lonely spot, not far from their home, in a lonely Rodeale, Mt on the Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington railroad. There is no clew to the slayer and the search for them is made more difficult by the fact that the bodies have been lying where they were found since Sunday night. The murderer had tried to destroy the body of the man by pouring oil on it and setting it afire. According to detectives it is evident also that the girl had been criminally attacked. After the murder the house was robbed of everything of value. Signs of a fierce struggle were ap parent. The grass is front of the house was torn up and a log, beepat tered with blood lay at the man's side. The skull of the man had been crush ed by the log. The girl's body, clad only in a night gown, was found a short distance from her brother's. There was a frac ture at the base of the skull, and the flesh was bruised and torn in many places. The bodies were discovered by a man, who gave his name to the police as Blokka. Former Marshal Dlihman and Patrolman Dotterwillech, of the Baltimore county force, hurried to the scene and a posse made up most ly of farmers and storekeepers start ed a search for the slayer. Tx-Marshall Dethman made a careful examination of the footprints on the lawn and of the fingerprints on various objects in the house, and those are the only claws, if claws they prove to be, in the possession of the au thorities as to the identity of the murderer. It is believed that only one man was implicated in the crime HURLS ACID AT HUSBAND Wants to Destroy His Sight Because He Left Her for Another He Left Her for Another. Screaming at the top of her voice that she wished to destroy her husband's sight and mar his features, because he abandoned her for another woman, Mrs. Mary Zinkand, 120 South Eutaw street dashed a jar of acid into the face of Edward Zinkand, her husband, 501 West Lombard street, at the throat old of the grand jury room in the court house in Baltimore, Md. Zinkand was badly burned, but I was said at Mercy hospital that he would not bore his sight. "God is just, if his vengeance is low," cried the woman, as she drew from the folds of her dress a large glass jar filled with a foul-smellin' liquid, composed of acid and banana oil. She threw this directly at Zinkand, and it struck him on the side of his neck. The glass broke, cutting a deep gash in his neck and scattering its contents over his face, clothing and hands, while the liquid splashed on the faces and clothes of a number of those standing nearby. "I said I would do it, and now I have my vengeance," screamed the woman. While being led to the marshal's office, Mrs. Zinkand yelled at the top of her voice that she had finally "got" her husband because of the way he had treated her. "He beat and kicked me," she screamed, "while he was living with that other woman on West Lombar, street. I said I would get him and I have."

Italian gains in the fighting on the Carozo front are admitted by Vienna, which mentions their capture of the town of Novavas. Elsewhere, however, they are declared to have fallen in their attempts to advance and to have lost a total of 2700 prisoners. In recent engagements, Austrian losses since the offensive boxan are unofficially put at 15,000. The king of Romania has appealed to the allies to save his country from the fate of Belgium and Serbia. SATURDAY. A writer for a Berlin semi-official news agency declares the British and French have lost ninety divisions, considerably more than a million men in the battle of the Somme. He says the Russian losses in the past four months have reached a million man. The struggle in the Somme region renewed with the heavy Anglo-French attack on Thursday, is being kept up by the Germans. They counter attacked strongly the French line south of the Somme reoccupying part of Abnacourt and neighboring trenches. Paris asserts, however, that a French attack immediately followed, resulting in the capture of all the ground. Vienna reports decreasing vigor in the Italian attacks on the Carso. King Ferdinand of Romania will take personal command at the front. The Russian contingents of his army will be reinforced.

BROTHERHOODS WIN; FARMERS' WIVES LOSE Democrats Unctuously but Vainly Flatter Themselves That Tillers of the Soil Believe Their Bunk Uplift Laws Will Improve Agricultural Conditions. FARING WORSE THAN LOWLIEST RAILROAD HAND Plight of Women Laborers In the Fields Described by President Pope of the Association of State Presidents of the Farmers' Union as More Depolarable Than During the Days of Slavery, and Yet Not a Word Was Spoken in the Last Congress, Which is Boasting of its Farm Legislation, About the Woman Who Rakes the Hay and Gathers the Sheaves. That the increase in pay of the members of the four railroad brotherhoods caused by the enactment of the eight hour day law by congress, will rest ultimately upon the farmer was asserted by Henry N. Pope, newly elected president of the Association of State Presidents of the Farmers' union, in a statement issued by him. Mr. Pope declared that the farmers of the country stand for a fair wage for both labor and capital and favor an eight hour working day, but that he personally doubted the wisdom of congress ding wages for labor employed by private enterprise. "I doubt," said he. "if it is in the interest of other labor, capital or the people to make the wage schedule of railroad employees a political issue." The condition of the farmers of the country is worse than that of the most lowly railroad laborer. Mr. Pope stated, with an average farm income of only 61.67 a day, out of which must be the expenses of the family The condition of women laborers P the fields be described as worse than during the days of slavery. Not a Word For Farmers "Not a word has been spoken congres in defense of the women who rakes the hay and gathers the sheaves," and Mr. Pope. "Little have been done that has increased the income of the farmer or enabled him to pay a higher wage to his laborers." "But today we find the highest pal- laborers in the world making three times more money than a farmer demanding 23 per cent increase, and congress fastening to their relief. This increase must in the end rest upon the back of the farmer and will reduce income, increase his hours of labor and, call for another levy of farm mothers from the home to the field. "The farmers of this nation must fight through organization to hold what they have and to get what is rightfully theirs from the government." Mr. Pope stated that by the enactment of the eight hour day law congress had thrust upon the people of the country a new responsibility and organized labor now stands committed to the principle of government regulation of wages. The government, he said, should fix wages for all classes of railroad employees and should have the power to decrease as well as to increase wages to remedy comparative inequalities. "Square Deal" For All. HUGHES FOR. ARBITRATION. He Would Be First to Ascend to Labor All Rights Found Just After Consideration. In his Maine speech Mr. Hughes made it plain that he was not attacking labor or the equity of the pro- posed increase of wages for the rail- road men. He was simply contending for the all important principle of arbitration as the right means of settlement of such questions. Speaking at different places in Maine Mr. Hughes dwelt upon this question, saying: "I deeply deplore, in the name of labor, in the name of justice, in the name of American ideals, the surrou- der of the Executive and of Congress to force, instead of permitting reason to reason. "The measure to which I have alluded was not, properly speaking, an eight-hour measure. It was a wage measure." It was a plain proposition for a change in the wage scale. I do not speak of the equity of that. That is a matter to be fairly considered. I want it is just and right with respect to wages. I am for the arbitration and the peaceful settlement of these industrial conflicts. We can settle everything in this country if we approach those matters with a fair and open mind and an examination of the facts. "This particular measure shows us its face that it was legislation in advance of the investigation, instead of investigation in advance of legislation. It is said that there was in its favor the judgment of society. The judgment of society in this country has never been passed in favor of legislation without knowledge of the equity and regardless of the facts of the case. There was no judgment of society in favor of the roads which were excepted from its provisions. If there was a judgment of society, why not apply the rule to electric or other kinds of roads or roads less than 100 miles in length? I say, away with such pretence. It was a surrender to force instead of a clear, could, faithfully framed examination of the facts, and then action in accordance with American principles. "Autocracy represents force; tyranny represents force. Democracy represents the rule of the common judgment after discussion, after an opportunity to know the facts."

FOUR KILLED IN STRIKE RIOT Police Charge Oil Workers in Bayonne, N. J. MANY FIRES WERE STARTED Twenty-five Wounded In Pitched Batt tle After Reign of Terror—Mer- chants Appeal for Protection. Four men were killed and twenty-five wounded, four so seriously that they may die, in a battle between oil strikers and the police in Bayonne, N. J. All of the dead were bystanders who, out of curiosity, followed a rifle-armed force of NS regular and volunteer police into the danger zone. Shots from the strikers flew over the heads of the police and struck down the spectators. Two hours after the opening of the conflict, the fight still was raging. During the fray a torch was applied to the Consumer Coal and fire company building, one of the largest plants in Bayonne. The fire made rapid headway and the proximity of the burning structure to the Standard Oil plant caused fear for the safety of the latter. As the police entered the strike district, they were met by a shower of missiles from roofs and doorways. They immediately opened fire, which was retaliated by the strikers. In the interchange of shots one man was killed instantly and twelve strikers were wounded. They were removed to Dayne hospital. The dead man was a bystander, who was identified as Inabore Naltzky, twenty two years old, recently admitted to the bar. Two wounded bystanders gave their names as Horace Martin and Edward Green. Martin was shot in the back and Green through the body. None of the policemen were wounded. The regulars were supported by eighty-five specials. After the first volley, the strikers who had advanced into the open-catered area, leaving the twelve victims behind. Others, whose injuries were slighter, were helped into nearby houses. Enraged by the battle with rifle-armed police, in which one woman was killed and many wounded, the thousands of Standard Oil company attackers made the night a season of terror for Bonneville. Fires were started at many places in the city, frequent exchanges of shots between maurauders and police occurred, stores and saloons were looted. As the day wore on, these disorders increased. The Constable Hook section was in absolute control of the strikers. They organized their own police force, and city officials countenanced the volunteer patrol plan. Without assistance from the police, the Central Railroad of New Jersey captured its station on Twenty second street. A force of its special police swooped down on the building, clubbed the attackers' garrison out and established communication with the city. Meantime merchants and businessmen are joining in a protest to the city authorities against the reign of violence. Two Negroes Lynched A mob of more than 500 persons stormed the county jail in Paducah Ky., and lynched two negroes within two miles of the city. After the bodies were cut down they were thrown on a burning brush head and cremated. The lynchings followed a forenoon of terror, during which the mob was virtually in control of the city. One of the negroes, Frank Kinley, was accused of having attacked Mrs. Etta Rose last Friday night. The mob took him to the Rose home, two miles from the city, and she identified him as her assailant. The other negro, Jesse Thornbill, was hanged because he boldly declared he would have committed the same crime. Dome Fled Gird Body As George King hunted in the thickets of Locust Mountains, near Mahanoy City, Pa., his attention was called by his barking hunting dogs to a body which lay in the copen. It proved to be that of Miss Kimberly Bronk, eighteen years, who had been missing from her home a week. By her side lay an empty bottle, which had contained poison. Her lips were horribly burned.
