VOLUM1 XXXV, NO. 3 DESEE A HE A Plea For Her Foster P Life==Reare Forced to Accor Away==Finds doing and The case of Chris Jackson, charged with the murder of his wife, was the topic of conversation in this city last week and issues of The Planet were carefully purchased until late in this week. The story of this wayward girl was taken as an object lesson for other girls and mothers were busily engaged in drawing a moral from the story. As for Chris Jackson, he was to be seen walking nonchalantly about this city and no one would have dreamed, by looking at him, that he stood charged with any crime whatever. EASILY LIFE A new phase of tragedy was the better reception ... drs. John H. Bayes, of Parkersburg, West Virginia. Her plea for the wawayward girl is pathetic. Here is the letters 418 Busch Street Dear Sir: The tragic and untimely death of the late Florence Jackson has caused quite a sensation and discussion in regards to her past life. It seems that no one has spoken a good word for the poor and unfortunate girl. All that has been said about her, and all that was known of her is that she was a bad woman. But she was more to be pitied than censured. NOT SO BAD AS PICTURED While in life, she may not have measured up to the standard to which God would have us all to live, but I can not believe that she was the bad woman that she has been pictured to be through the press. I have read your paper of the 17th and 21th but failed to see any account of any one speaking in her behalf. KNOW ABOUT HER. There were some good qualities in the soul of Florence Jackson. I probably know more about her early life than any one at the present time. My home was in Eagle Rock, Va. The names of my father and mother were James and Louisa Rodgers and they were respected by all the people in that little mountain village and both were devoted Christians and they are still remembered by the older citizens of that place. My father is still living and makes his home with us. My mother died in 1910, it was in this home that Florence spent her early life. THE MOTHER OF FLORENCE In the Fall of 1895 there came to my father's home a woman by the name of Annie Godfrey and she had with her a girl child, not yet two years of age and asked if they would keep the child for a few days, as she was going in the country and would return for the child. She told my mother to call the child. Florence. My mother willingly took the child as all of us had grown up. In the course of a few years I married and moved to Parkersburg in 1897 and in the Summer of 1901, my mother visited me and brought Florence with her. On mother's return to Eagle Rock, I kept Florence and sent her to school. She was a bright and intelligent child and made many friends at school. CALLED HER SISTER. I was very much devoted to her. She always called me her sister and Mr Bayes, her brother. She was a good and obedient child and we all loved her. In 1907, my mother wrote me to let Florence come and stay with her as she was getting . very lonesome without her. I consented and sent Florence to her, though I did not want to give her up. Shortly after she got to mother's, it was then her real mother returned for her, after being absent nearly fourteen years, and Florence, knowing how she had been cast off by her, refused to go with her. But she was taken by force from the ones who had cared for her all those years. RAN AWAY But she did not remain long with her strange mother. She van away and I lost all trace of her until 1911 I received several postcards from the east cities, namely, Richmond, Baltimore, Washington and the last one was from Jacksonville, Fla., and it was then she told me that she was married and was the mother of a boy. That was the last we heard of her until August, this year. CHRIS A GOOD HUSBAND Then she was telling me that she had married again and that she had such a good husband. His name was Chris Jackson and in every letter she would write, she would speak good of her husband and his grandmother. WOULD HAVE MADE ARRANGE MENTS I wired Dr. C. R. Hulses concerning the body and in answer, he said that the body would be buried by her husband and I did not know any better until I received The Planet Saturday. Had I known that she was being buried by the public I would have made different arrangements. Poor Florence was taken from a Christian home and good moral influence, only to meet a sad and untimely death. Her memory is cherished by the ones who knew her best. (MRS.) JOHN H. BAYES.

The rally was under the direction of Mrs. Dr. Blaney, Mrs. Ada Lewi' was the manager. Mrs. Maggie L. Walker was present and spoke in glowing terms of how Mrs. Blaney had been the instrument in bringing this grand and noble affair to the city of Richmond to help lift finances. Mr. E. J. Johnson represented the President of the United States, and Mrs. Margaret Howard represented the "first lady of the land." Both acted their parts well. The grand total amount taken in was three hundred and fifty dollars. DR. L. D. BLANEY, 822 North First Street. Card of Thanks. We wish to tender our sincere thanks to our friends and neighbors for deeds of kindness and expressions of sympathy on the occasion of the death of my devoted wife and our mother, Mrs. Carrie Wriekman chant. At such a time, when one is overwhelmed with sorrow and burdened with grief over the death of a dead one, a sympathetic word or act goes a long way towards consoling a broken heart and troubled mind. We especially want to thank the neighbors for their beautiful designs, the Fifth Street Baptist Church, Baker School), The Nurses' Training Class of the Armstrong High School, and the numerous friends for their most beautiful flowers. Truly, but sadly yours. MT CARMELS GREAT CAMPAIGN AGAINST DEBT. Battle No. 1 conducted last Sunday November 25th, by Lieutenants E, D.

The Richmond Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is making its self felt in this community for this uplift of the colored people. On Friday night, the 23rd of November, a committee composed of J. Thomas Hewin, Esq, W. A. J. Ackham, of the Southern Aq Society; Dr. J. M. G. Ramsey, a well known dentist in this city, and Mr. B. A. Cophas, a real estate agent and broker, waited on the School Board in the interest of certain matters affecting the welfare of colored people in this community. The committee was courteously received by the School Board. The Board showed they were greatly interested in the things which the Committee presented to them by the many questions asked. The committee presented the following items to the Board for its consideration: 1. They made a request that a cadet corps be organized in connection with the boys attending the high school similar to the one new in vogue for the white boys. 2. They requested that the money collected from Negro children be deposited in Negro banks. 3. They asked for Negro princi J. THGMAS N. The brilliant Newport News the United States District Court his home city. The decision of States settled the case in favor of pats in Negro schools. 4. They asked for a school in that part of the city known as Sidney, and an improvement in the schools already established. 5. They requested that a vacational school be put in operation for the benefit of colored children similar to the one now in vogue for white children. During the course of argument, which was presented to the Board by J. Thomas Hewin, Esq., and W. A. Jordan, it was shown that a million colored people had left the South within the last twelve months and the prime cause was the lack of educational facilities for colored children, which are necessary to fit them to meet the requirements and demands of American citizenship. The committee was highly pleased with the courteous reception tendered them by the School Board. E. C. Burke Cashier of the St. Luke Penny Savings Bank, and Mr. John H. Braxton, a real estate agent of this city, were also members of this committee, but owing to previous butiness engagements, they could not be present. The Richmond Branch of the National Association, at its annual meeting, elected Rev. W. H. Stokes, of Ebenezer Church, as its president. J. Thomas Hewin, Esq., who has previously filled the office declined re-election, because it was the desire of the Executive Committee to have him represent the Branch in all of its legal matters, consequently, Mr. Hewin stated that he did not consider it in keeping with the ethics of his profession for him, as President, to remain in that office and yet represent the Branch at the Bar in legal matters. The Richmond Branch, although only one year old, has made a splendid record for championing, things which affect the colored people. Recently the Taka-Cola people in this city had an enormous amount of sugar on sale, and an officer was sta- tioned at the door of its place of business and refused to let colored people enter for the purpose of buying sugar, J. Thomas Hewin, W. A. Jordan, and Dr. C. S. Cowan, representing the Richmond Branch, waited on the management for the purpose of assortaining their reason for refusing to allow colored people to enter and purchase sugar on the same equality with the white people. Mr. Clyde Sampelders, the white manager of the establishment, was quick to explain that no affront was meant to the colored people, but it was done to prevent colored servants of rich people who were able to buy sugar at the high prices, from coming to the establishment and getting sugar at reduced prices which was intended solely for the poor class of people.

BIG OPPORTUNITY TO BE GIVEN YOUNG COLORED PEOPLE Richmond Young People To Become Movie Stars. Washington, November 28. In a short time, the young colored people of Richmond are going to be given an opportunity to appear in movie pictures. The National Colored Soldiers Comfort Committee, in its effort to raise $2,000,000 for the relift of the dependents of our colored soldiers, will put a contest on in Richmond to secure colored young men and women of that city for the leading parts in a movie picture play to be written for that city, the young man and woman having the highest number of votes to be assigned the leading parts, and at least six others given parts according to their standing. These films will be shown throughout the country and as they will depict the valor and progress of the race, they will not only assist, as is planned, in raising the $2,000,000 fund, but will create a fairer sentiment towards the race on the part of whites who will see the film in movie theatres throughout the country. A contest is now on here and in Baltimore to secure young colored people for the movie picture play to be written and taken for these two cities. The Richmond film will provide for only Richmond young colored people as actors and actresses, and will show local Richmond scenes, indicative of race progress also.

HEY LENG AT THE NATION'S METROPOLIS The Negro Defended in "From Superman to Man"—Interesting Book by J. A. Rogers is Gripping and Thrilling Defense of the Negro's Place—Mrs. Lola Walters, wife of late Bishop James, joined colored Employees Meeting Migration Movement—has Charles H. Anderson has returned to The Stage. Allen's National News Bureau, 2 West 131 St, New York, November 19, 1917. I have just read "From Superman to Man," by J. A. Rogers, and a more thrilling and gripping story has not been written on the Negro question nor has the Negro been more nobly defended. The book is doubtless one of the most valuable contributions on the Negro problem and should be widely read by those who are interested in this vital question, and to know the truth, as it underlies the whole fabric of human life. The book sticks as its title, and shows how after all the same problems affecting the social, moral, spiritual and intellectual life of the Negro are but the common causes of all mankind, and not of a race, the book is written in an entertaining manner, and forceful manner, and does not exaggerate. The pot of the story is laid on a pullman train and narrates incidents that are common to the traveling public. The passenger is a Southern senator, who has long held that the Negro was inferior, that he was not entitled to the rights of the white man and would never be allowed to share in the equal rights and privileges of the other races. He engages in conversation with the pullman porter, whom he has mistakes for, and it is his duty to have some fun at the expense of the porter. It was the book that the porter wrote. It was Pinet on "Race Projudge" that around the Southern passenger's curiosity and led to the opening of the conversation on the Negro question. The Southern passenger who by the way, was a Senator, began in his brusque manner to tell of the Negro's inferiority, and how he was not the equal of the white man in many degrees. He found out however, that in the pullman porter, he was dealing with a man who soon gave evidence of abolishing his own. He was a form or Yal student, had traveled extensively, and had close student of sociology as it affords all groups. The conversation of the two men the way from intellecting inferiority to that of social equality. The Southerner brought up the question of the Negro's moral especially, the Negro woman and cited incidents where black women were fond of the society of white man. He spoke of the Negro shiftlessness and etc. The porter told how the question of miscognition was not confined to the Negro women, but that the same weakness may be said to the white women who seek the society of Negro men. He told of incidents surreptitious city life where clubs were maintaining this purpose. He called attention to the shiftlessness of the white man in cases, and thus enclosed a revolution that opened the eyes of the society er who is typical of the many cases that live in the North and South. The porter met the every argument that was advanced by the passenger and scored one for the race. The story ends with the Southern passenger changed on the Negro situation, that after all the could have mistaken roative to its views of the Negro and knowing others who are ignorant to the same degree as others to do something that will present the Negro in a bet ter light to the American people and educate others on the progress and achievements of the Negro. The story is true to life and that was in a vivid manner the part that the pulman car man can play in the solution of this vexed and misunderstood problem. Mr. Rogers has given to America a fine production that cannot but help play its part towards the adjustment of the Negro question and the book should be widely read by both races, who are concerned in burning issue. The book is on sale. The Young's Book Exchange, at 125 W. 255 St., this city, and orders should be sent for it at once. This exchange is making a specialty of books on the Negro question written by Negro authors, and has a fine collection of works on this question. George Young the proprietor of the book importum told the writer last week that he is anxious to circulate this new book as widely as possible. MRS. LELIA WALTERS HONORED Mrs. Lola Walters, wife of the late Bishop Walters, received a distinct honor recently, which shows she as a team in which she is held by the foremost women of the nation. She has received invitation to become one of the Navy League, and the American Asiatic Society, two of the most influential organizations of the country. The invitaton to join the Navy League, came thus Mrs. Admiral George Dewey, who has long been an acquaintance of Mrs. Walters. The affective work that she has done for the redemption of Africa, and the interest that she has taken in the Dark Continent, have brought her prominently before the nation and as a recognition of this work she has been offered membership in the American Aslatic Society, which makes a study of conditions affecting Aslatic life, Mrs. Walters is the first woman of the race to become a member in these organizations and as the result the status of the colored women through out the nation will be raised. She has long been active and foremost in all work pointing to the uplift of the women of the race. Mrs. Walters has been keenly interested in missionary work and during the life of the late Bishop, she was especially active among the women of the various conferences over which the bishop presided. She is a woman of fine education and accomplishments and for many years taught school in Louisville, Ky. She was appointed to the position with Willis to an equal position at Ellis Island is the only Presidential appointee among the large clerical force employed at Ellis Island. Mrs. Walters deserves the new honor that has come to her, and the race throughout the nation will be glad to hear of the success that has come to her. When your correspondent saw her last week she was regaining her strength poise after the great strain she has been passing thru since the death of Bishop Walters. THE ASSOCIATED COLORED EMPLOYEES MIGRA INFORMATION INFORMATION INFORMATION One of the most constructive organizations that has ever been launched by the young men of the race was recently incorporated as The Associated Colored Employees and was organized for the purpose of adjusting the large Negro exodus from the South to the North. The movement had its birth shortly after the large influx of colored people to the North was becoming apparent, and when it was soon seen that something must be done for the economic bottleneck the new comers. A group of young men got together and resolved that the best way to meet this situation would be to form an organization that would address the task of providing an opening to the task of providing an opening for the large number of migrants North. The organization opened headquarters at 438 Lenox Avenue, and made a study of the large industrial concerns that employ men, and persuaded them to employ colored labor, which they agreed to do. As the result of the effort of this organization many new avenues have been opened up for colored, which has assisted in doing much to adjust the new economies and to provide for their economic and industrial security. The association is fast becoming the clear base of this congested condition that has been brought by the large exodus and the work that is being done in the location, industrial concerns of the country, the association links its members together to form a union for their mutual protection, and gives work to the members without charge. The association is now seeking to bring the various trades represented by the race under one great federation and standardize the prices, and wage scale. The general headquarters will be in this city and branches have been established in Philadelphia, Chicago, and other large centers. The president of the association is John Alvin Ross, one of the most conscientious young men of the race, and a graduate of New York University. Mr. Ross made a thorough study the economic and industrial conditions surrounding the Negro and has a fine grasp upon the Association associated with him are, Archerhoe Poole, L. T. Hunt. Richard Moore, and other well known business and professional men of this city. The movement is one of the most potent launched by young men of the country and there is no organization that is doing more to meet this great problem brought on as the result of this large migratory movement than this organization. MRS. CHARLES ANDERSON RE TURNS TO THE STAGE After an absence of several weeks, Mrs. Charles H. Anderson has returned to the stage, and appeared last week with Lafayette Players in the gripping drama, "Poor Man, Rich Man." She seems to be greatly improved as the result of the long rest and displayed her usual versatility and cleverness. Ever since she made her appearance about a year ago in the Law," she has steadily risen to a prominent stage, and is regarded as one of the foremost of the new school of actors among the race. Her work has been the marvel of the leading theatrical critics of this city and her work has been watched from the boxes by some of the leading and most Broad way stars in this city, including Jane Cowl, the great. American actress and other leading men and women in this field Mrs. Anderson has no细致 fine educational background for her work and is designed to make a fine place for herself a fixed place on the American stage. She is a hard student of the drama and is a young woman of fine accomplishments and attainments.

Dr. Wallace ends Noted Rally. Allen's National News Bureau. 2 West 131 St., New York City. November 26. —The last tribute of respect was paid to Hon. James L. Curtis, late Minister to Liberia, last Sunday at the funeral held from the Bethel A. M. E. Church. A large and representative gathering, fellow townmen, associates, and friends of the young diplomat attended the funeral and heard the late Minister praised for the brilliant manner in which he handled the State situation in Liberia.

He was in New York last Saturday and was honored his widow, Mrs. Helen Curtis, the Bishop of Jiberia, and representative of the American legation to Liberia. The funeral which was held from the church of which he was a member and trustee, was conducted by the pastor the Rev. Dr A. R. Cooper.

Church, James D. Carr, Charles W. Anderson, Wilford H. Smith, and others who were associated with him in this city. Owing to stair orders from the State departed, he was not be reviewed. It was in this city that the citizen was best known and where he spent the most of his career. He will be remembered as one of the most useful citizens of the colored life here and was well loved by a host of friends.

Zion Church in Brooklyn has ended one of the most remarkable rallies held in the history of that historical church. The rally: which ran for two weeks resulted in over $3,500 being raised and breaks the record for the church.

The pastorate of Dr Wallace is making fine appeal especially to the young men of the city who are joining in large numbers.

Dr. Wallace knows how to get results and is one of the constructive forces of the race. CLEVELAND G ALLEN VIRGINIA—In the Law and Equity Court o the City of Richmond, the 15th day of November 1917.

Governor of Massachusetts Refuses to Pardon Peter to West Virginia, Olliver Charleton, W. V., Nov. 20.—Characterizing the refusal of Governor McCall, of Massachusetts, to honor his requisition for the return to West Virginia for trial of John Johnson, a No-go charged with attacking a white girl in this city, as constituting a refection upon the State of West Va., and showing a deplorable jack of knowledge of the State and its people, Governor Cornwell late today made public a letter which he had written to the Massachusetts Governor. Previous to receiving Governor McCall's letter declining to honor the requisition, Governor Cornwell had written to the Massachusetts Governor a personal letter guaranteeing that no harm should come to Johnson, and declaring "there is absolutely no danger of Johnson's being lynched or otherwise mistreated." Governor Cornwell's letter as sent to Governor McCall today, follows: "I have your letter declining to honor my requisition for the return of John Johnson, now in your city, charged with rape in this country. "With all due respect to the representatives of your State' who visited this State for the alleged purpose of making an investigation regarding the case, I am compelled to say that he has evidently mistreated you as to the facts in the matter. The suggestion that exaggerated reports of the crime have been generally circulated in the community and that on account of the murder of the defendants and the race of the defendants, the prejudice which would be difficult if not impossible of control by the most upright judge is not only unwarranted and untrue, but is a reflection upon this State and its courts, which I very frankly and respectfully resent. It is not justified by any records or incidents connected with the State since its origin. "TRAINED OFFICER" SPENT TIME IN RESTRICTED DISTRICT "The prosecuting attorney of this county, in a letter to me, advises that your 'trained officer' who came to this city for the - alleged purpose of investigating the case, was here several days before calling upon any officer of the State or County; that he be quenched the 'red light' district where Johnson's alleged crime was committed, in an apparent effort to obtain information which would warrant his making, an adverse report; that, on day he left Charleson, he called of the office of the prosecuting attorney for the first time; that the prosecuting attorney or gave him the names of a great many witnesses whom he could have interviewed he fore leaving the city, and gave him all the facts within the possession of the State's representatives. "The prosecuting attorney requested the privilege of presenting West Virginia's side of the case at the coming hearing of Johnson, in Massachusetts, and was admitted it was not necessary to do so, but when he insisted upon making that appearance he was told he would be advised when the matter was to be again heard, and that no such advice was received, and that the prosecuting attorney had no information or information relative to the time of the further hearing, as promised. "Only a few days ago I honored a requisition for the return of an alleged fugitive to your State. The crime which he was charged was insignificant and unimportant, as compared with the one with which Johnson is charged, and for which two people now are serving sentence in the State penitentiary as accessories. MUST SCRUTINIZE FUTURE REQUISITIONS FROM M.CALL "Your refusal to grant this requisition for the reasons, as alleged, constitutes a reflection upon the State of West Virginia and shows a deploiable lack of knowledge of it and its people. It also in my opinion, tends to thwart the ends of justice and violates the spirit of the comity between the States to such an extent that it shall feel compelled to scrutinize with more than usual care any similar requisition from you." The crime with which Johnson is charged is an attack on Nike Kelly berger, a fourteen year old white girl, alleged to have been committed in December 1916. Nine persons were indicted in the case seven of whom now are serving sentence for the crime. Mc CALL MAKES PUBLIC LETTER TO CORNWELL *Boston, Nov. 20.*—Governor McCall, in a letter to Governor Cornwell, of West Virginia, made public today, explained that he had declined to grant a requisition for the return to that State of John Johnson's Negro charge with an attack on a white girl at Charleston, "because of the grave danger" that the defendant might be convicted and sentenced to death for which he may not have been guilty. Assistant Attorney General Nelson P. Cox, who was directed by Governor McCall to conduct a public hearing reported exaggerated accounts of the crime he was been cited in Charleston and had their nature and Johnson's color there existed a prejudice "which would be difficult, if not impossible of control by the most upright judge." Mr. Brown recommended that the Negro, who is in jail here, 'is not returned to West Virginia. In Indorsing the findings of the Asst Attorney General, Governor McKenna this letter to Governor Corn well said: 'have no doubt that mob law or the unlawful enforcement of the law would be as abusive to you as it is to the history of the appendid State of West Virginia. I have full confidence that if the case were reversed, and facts such as have been brought to the attention of the Attorney General were brought to yours you would take action similar to that which he recommends. TOO MUCH GROSS INJUSTICE TO MEN OF AFRICAN DESCENT "In the history of some - of the great est States of our Union there is too much of gross injustice and the denial of rights of our citizens of African descent. This surely is not the time when any discrimination in the administration of justice should be permitted against a race which is bearing its full share of the burdens of our social fabric, and furnishing many thousands of men who are training themselves to fight for their country. When American soldiers are fighting upon the battle fields of Europe for free dom of the world, we should exercise care that so far as possible, injustice should not come from our own borders. The trained officer has considered this case for the Com monwealth having reported against the return of the defendant, I feel compelled to act accordingly, very greatly as I regret not to grant any request made by Your Excellency." It was announced at the Governor's office that Johnson who has been held in default of $10,000 ball on a charge of being a fugitive from justice, will be released forthwith. GOVERNOR MCALL DENIES THE REQUISITION FOR JOHNSON. Governor McCall declined to grant the request of Governor John J. Cornwell of West Virginia and will not allow John Johnson, colored, to be returned to that State for trial on a serious charge; preferred by a young white girl. The Governor says in his letter to Governor Cornwell that he is guided by the thorough investigation of Assistant Attorney General, Nelson P. Brown, whose work in this connection he praises. The Governor points out that Mr. Brennan exaggerated reports of t. crime allegation, rather than he sees danger of a miscarriage of justice. In the Governor's opinion, this is not the time when any race discrimination should be permitted. Johnson was arrested in this city early in October and taken to the Charles St. Jail. Chief William A. Sparks of Charleston, W. Va., and officer J. M. Chapman, who accompany panied him, presented the claim for extradition to Governor McCall. Colored friends of Johnson, led by William H. Lewis, protested. The Governor ordered a hearing before the coroner General, and Mr. Brown, the first assistant was placed in charge. At the hearing Johnson's counsel asserted that when the West Virginia officers confronted Johnson at the Charles St. Jail, they threatened him and told him he would be "strugg up" if he fought extradition. Other abuse of Johnson was alleged. Mr. Brown went to the jail, and heard Johnson as well as the jail officers. The latter in part corroborated Johnson. JUDGE HUNDLEY DEFENDS HIS CONDUCT OF TRIAL. Makes Public Correspondence With Governor Stuart in Reference to Clemency for Aubrey Barrett. Governor Henry C. Stuart, in commuting the death sentence of Aubrey Barrett, convicted of murder for his connection in the killing of W. T. Roach, of Charlotte County, acted up on his humane instincts and showed the prisoner mercy where the law demanded that he pay for his crime. This is shown in correspondence between the Governor and Judge George J. Hundley, who presided in the trial of the Negro, which was made public yesterday. In making public the correspondence, Judge Hundley said that it showed conclusively that the Governor was not influenced at all in his action by the ill advised clamor of people against the court that tried him (the Negro). but acted as contemplated by our Constitution, up on his human instincts and showed mercy where the law demanded only the penalty for his crime." The letter follows: Henry C. Stuart, Governor of Virginia fa; My Dear Governor,--I see from the papers that they have published the fact that you commited the sentence of Aubrey Barrett "without making any statement," and then they proceed to repeat the stale falshoods about the trial, and also allude to the fact that the trial and conviction was held within ten days after the arrest, etc; and then they state that Mr. Can non filed a brief with certain comments on the trial. Judge Watkins informed me that he filed proofs before you that Lancaster advised the boy all through the trial and no allusion is made to this proof. I have now before me your telegram asking me to call a special form for the court in which it was held. I would, respectfully represent that such statements should not be allowed without letting the public know that you did not act on those attacks upon the fairness of the trial, and you do not care to state that fact to the public, that you allow me to publish the correspondence between us, particularly your letter of the 13th instant. Judge George J. Hundley, Farmville, Va.:: My Dear Judge,—I thank you for your letter of November 10 with reference to the case of Aubrey Barrett. I also note in the Newa Leader of yes teryday your opinion in the contempt cases recently before you, and I have read both with much interest.

Very sincerely yours. (Signed.) HENRY C. STUART. Governor. N. A. A. C. P. WILL DEFEND DR LEROY BUNDY. Colored Dentist Accused of Murder in the East St. Louis Riot Cases. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has just won a tremendous victory for the American Negro in the unanimous decision of the United States Supreme Court in the Louisville Segregation Case, but the Association does not intend to stand till upon that victory. It has already under taken a fight of almost equal importance, the fight of securing for the murder men accused and convicted of murder in the East St. Louis riots a fair trial and every benefit under the law to which they are entitled. The Association is undertaking this fight not only in behalf of the individual men concerned but in order that the blame of being the initial cause of the horrors which took place at East St. Louis not be shifted upon the Negro race. A though the colored people at East St. Louis were sufferers and victims, several hundred of them having been beaten and killed, the result of the legal processes thus far has been the conviction of ten colored men with sentences of fourteen years each in the penitentiary. On the other hand, two or three white men have been convicted and given long sentences, and only a few days ago three of the white men charged with rioting were sent to thirty days each, a sentence which in some parts of the country is often imposed for being merely drunk and disorderly. Great interest now centers around the trial; of Dr. Leroy Bundy, Dr. Bundy is a prosperous dentist and one of the most prominent colored men of East St. Louis. He is charged with inciting riot and murder, and it is declared that the State will ask for the death penalty in his case. The National Association has already taken steps to secure the very best legal defense possible for Dr. Bundy and will spare no effort or expense to give him a fair trial and the fullest protection under the law. Dr. Bundy's case is not merely an individual case. It is in a large sense the case of the entire race, and so the Advancement Association makes a national appeal for cooperation and funds to assist it in the defense of Dr. Bundy. Already the St. Louis Branch, from the day immediately following the riots, has been doing magnificent work. The Branch has raced and expended for the benefit of refugees, in collecting evidence against the rioters, and in defending Negro who were accused, almost $3,000. The Louis Branch is still putting forth effort with the National Association standing behind it and working through it. His trial begins this week. It is a trial in which good citizen, every lover of law and order and true democracy, should be interested. To add such, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People makes this appeal. Contributions may be sent to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York.

Indications now are that not one of the Negroes who claimed election to the Board of Aldermen on the "morning after" November 6 will sit with that body. James C. Thomas, Jr., the Harlem Negro lawyer who ran on the Republican ticket in the Twenty-sixth district and first appeared to have won, is making a last attempt to appear a seat. His attorney yesterday appeared at the Supreme Court and asked for an appeal permitting an inpection of the baths. Robert S. Mullen, former Assistant District Attorney of The Bronx, appeared for his father, Alderman Mullen, who apparently has beaten the Negro candidate, and said: "We appreciate the anxiety of the Negro voters to send at least one Alderman to the Board. They have succeeded in sending one representative to the Assembly. But in this election notwithstanding the fact that the Republicans have gerry-mandered the Harlem district in the heat, Negro die trit, the white Democrat can got 2,832 votes and the Negro public only 2,431.

VOLUME XXXV, NO. 3 DESEE A HE A Plea F Her Foster H Life--Reare Forced to Accor Away--Finds doing and The case of Chris Jackson, charged with the murder of his wife, was the topic of conversation in this city last week and issues of The Planet were eagerly purchased until late in this week. The story of this wayward girl was taken as an object lesson for other girls and mothers were busily engaged in drawing a moral from the story. As for Chris Jackson, he was to be seen walking nonchalantly about this city and no one would have dreamed, by looking at him, that he stood charged with any crime whatever. A now phage to a tragedy will the letter received from Mrs. John H Bayes, of Parkersburg, West Wor- land girl is pathetic. Here is the letter; 418 Busch Street Editor of The Planet, Richmond, Virginia. Dear Sir: The tragic and untimely death of the late Florence Jackson has caused quite a sensation and discussion in regards to her past life. It seems that no one has spoken a good word for the poor and unforgiving. All that has been said about her, and all that was known of her is that she was a bad woman. But she was more to be pitied than censured. NOT SO BAD AS PICTURED. While in life, she may not have measured up to the standard to which God would have us all to live, but I can not believe that she was the bad woman that she has been pictured to be through the press. I have read your paper of the 17th and 24th but failed to see any account of any one speaking in her behalf. KNEW ABOUT HER. There were some good qualities in the soul of Florence Jackson. I probably know more about her early life than any one at the present time. My home was in Eagle Rock, Va. The names of my father and mother were James and Louisa Rodgers and they were respected by all the people in that little mountain village and both were devoted Christians and they are still remembered by the older citizens of that place. My father is still living and makes his home with us. My mother died in 1910. It was in this home that Florence spent her early life. THE MOTHER OF FLORENCE. In the Fall of 1895 there came to my father's home a woman by the name of Annie Godfrey and she had with her a girl child, not yet two years of age and asked if they would keep the child for a few days, as she was going in the country and would not be able to the child. She mother to call the child, Florence. My mother willingly took the child as all of us had grown up. In the course of a few years I married and moved to Parkersburg in 1897 and in the Summer of 1901, my mother visited me and brought Florence with her. On mother's return to Eagle Mountain she went to school. She was a bright and intelligent child and made many friends at school. CALLED HER SISTER. I was very much devoted to her. She always called me her sister and Mr. Bayes, her brother. She was a good and obedient child and we all were very proud of her. We wrote me to let Florence come and stay with her as she was getting very lonesome without her. I consented and sent Florence to her, though I did not want to give her up. Shortly after she got to mother's, it was then her real mother returned for her, after being absent nearly fourteen years, and Florence, knowing you she had been cast off by her, sent her to prison, then taken by force from the ones who had cared for her all those years. RAN AWAY. But she did not remain long with her strange mother. She ran away and I lost all trace of her until 1911. I received several postcards from nearer cities, namely, Richmond, Baltimore, Washington and the last one was from Jacksonville, Fla., and, when I was married, I was married and was the mother of a boy. That was the last we heard of her until August, this year. CHRIS. A GOOD HUSBAND. Then she was teiling me that she had married again and that she had such a good husband. His name was Chris Jackson and in every letter she would write, she would speak good of her husband and his grandmother. WOULD HAVE MADE ARRANGE-MENTS. I wired Dr. C. R. Hughes concerning the body and in answer, he said that the body would be buried by her husband and I did not know any better until I received The Planet Saturday. Had I known that she was being buried by the public I would have made different arrangements. Poor Florence was taken from a Christian home and good moral influence, only to meet a sad and untimely death. Her memory is cherished by the ones who know her best.

The Richmond Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is making itself felt in this community for the uplift of the colored people. On Friday night, the 23rd of November, a committee composed of J. Thomas Hewin, Eaq, W. A. Jordan, of the Southern Aled Society; Dr. J. M. G. Ramsey, a well known dentist in this city, and Mr. B. A. Cephas, a real language and broker, waited on the School Board in the interest of certain matters affecting the welfare of colored people in this community. The committee was currently resolved by the School Board. The Board showed they were greatly interested in the things which the Committee presented to them by the many questions asked. The committee presented the following items to the Board for its consideration: 1. They made a request that a craft corps be organized in connection with boys attending the high school similar to one now in vogue for the white boys. 2. They requested that the money collected from Negro children be deposited in Negro banks. 3. They asked for Negro princi- [Image of a man in a suit with his arms crossed.] A. B. J. THOMAS NEWSOME, ESO. The brilliant Newport Nows, Va, attorney, who led the fight in the United States District Court against the segregation ordinance of his home city.

They asked for a school in that part of the city known as Sidney, and an improvement in the schools already established. 5. They requested that a vacational school be put in operation for the benefit of colored children similar to the one now in vogue for white children. During the course of argument, which was presented to the Board by J. Thomas Hewin, Esq., and W. A. Jordan, it was shown that a million colored people had left the South within the last twelve months and the prime cause was the lack of educational facilities for colored children, which are necessary to fit them to demands of the American citizenship. The committee was highly pleased with the court's reception tendered them by the School Board. B. C. Burke Cashier of the St. Luke Penny Savings Bank, and Mr. John H. Braxton, a real estate agent of this city, were also members of this committee, but owing to previous business engagements, they could not be present. The Richmond Branch of the National Association, at its annual meeting, elected Rev. W. H. Stokes, of Ebenezer Church, as its president. J. Thomas Howin, Esq., who has previously filled the office declined reelection, because it was the desire of the Executive Committee to have him represent the Branch in all of its legal matters, consequently, Mr. Howin stated that he did not consider it in keeping with the ethics of his profession for him, as President, remain in that office and yet represent Branch at the Bar in legal matters. The Richmond Branch, although only one year old, has made a splendid record for championing things which affect the colored people. Recently the Taka-Cola people in this city had an enormous amount of sugar on sale, and an officer was sta pals in Negro schools. tioned at the door of its place of business and refused to let colored people enter for the purpose of buying sugar. J. Thomas Hewin, W. A. Jordan, and Dr. C. Si Cowan, representing the Richmond Branch, waited on the management for the purpose of allowing the use of sugar for refusing to allow colored people enter and purchase sugar on the same equality with the white people. Mr. Clyde Saunders, the white manager of the establishment, was quick to explain that no affront was meant to the colored people, but it was done to prevent colored servants of rich people who were able to buy sugar at the high prices, from coming into the establishment and getting sugar at reduced prices which was intended solely for the poor class of people.

BIG OPPORTUNITY TO BE GIVEN YOUNG COLORED PEOPLE Richmond Young People To Become Movie Stars. Washington, November 28.—In a short time, the young colored people of Richmond are going to be given an opportunity to appear in movie pictures. The National Colored Soldiers Comfort Committee, in its effort to raise $2,000,000 for the rallf of the dependents of our colored soldiers, will put a contest on in Richmond to secure colored young men and women of that city for the leading parts in a movie picture play to be written for that city, the young woman having the highest number of votes to be assigned the leading parts, and at least six others given parts according to their standing. These films will be throughout the country and as they will depict the valor and progress of the race, they will not only assist, as is planned, in raising the $2,000,-000 fund, but will create a fairer sentiment towards the race on the part of whites who will see the film in movie theatres throughout the country. A contest is now on here and in Baltimore to secure young colored people for the movie picture, written and taken for these two cities, and for Richmond film will provide for only Richmond young colored people as actors and actresses, and will show local Richmond scenes, indicative of race progress also. To whom it may concern: That I, Mrs. Ella Wooldridge-Nelson, of 915 Centre St., is divorced by law from Mr. Richard Nelson. Divorce Granted. WAVERLY GIRL WINS PRIZE.

WANTS A UNITED FRONT Deelares War Powers Will Be Used te Limit to Check Waste on ' Conflicts Between Cap- . Ital and Labor, of’ Burvalo, N. ¥.—President Wilson {na masterful appeal to the Amerl- gan workingman to do a bigger bit In the winning of the war before tho American Federation of Labor con- vention laid down the policy of the fovernment in dealing with both cap- Ital and labor, He declared he would brook no in- ferference In obtaining the highest possible productivity In industry. He called for the closest co-opera~ Hon of employees and employers. Ho made it clear that the govern- ment would intervene to the limit of \ts war power to prevent the waste of fonflicts between labor and capital. “Horses that kick over the traces must be put in the corral,” ho de- plared. “The only way to obtain peaco is to win the war,” the president said in palling on labor to do its utmost. The president declared that control ef the labor and industry of the world was one of the German dreams. Ho sald the Berlin to Bagdad rail- way was constructed “in order to run @ threat foree down the flank of the {ndustrial undertakings of a half doz- on other countries.” Pan-German plans must be broken, ho sald, for with Germany control- Ung Austria-Hungary, the Balkan states, Turkey and Asia Minor tho bull of German power Is inserted into the heart of tho world.” “af Germany keeps what she has she will have all that her dreams contemplated when the war began,” ‘The president impressed upon tho fabor men tho absolute necessity of sottling all disputes and raising Ja- bor productivity to the highest mark. He told the delegates he wanted peace, but insisted the only way to got it’ was by crushing Germany. Some of the other string pointe 4n the president’s address follow: “This is the last decisive issue be- tween the old principle of power and the new principle of freedom." “Power cannot be used against freo people when the power Is controlled by the people.” a dayose not tho feoling of the pactfiels, but thely stupidity.” “am with you if you are with mo.” Discussing Germany, the president declared that Germany had started the war and that he was willing to await the verdict of history on that statement. “1 believe,” he said, “that the spirit of freedom can get into the hearts of Germans and find as fine a weleome there as it can find in any other hearts. But the spirit of freedom does not suit the plans of the pan- Germans. Power cannot be used with eoncentrated foree against free peo- ples if it is used by free people.” Referring In another part of his specch to Russia. the president said: “May T not say It is amazing to mo that any group of people should be 50 4M informed as to suppose, as some groups in Russia apparently suppose, that any reforms planned in the in- terest of the people can live in tho presence of a Germany powerful enough to undermine or overthrow them by intrigue or force. Any body of free men that compound with the German government compounds for its own destruction.” PITH OF THE i WAR NEWS According to latest reports the Ital: jans were making a stand on the west bank of the Piave river as far as Feltre, in the mountains, where their line turned west. The Ger. mans have reached the east bank of the river, across which there was a continuous artillery fire. Rome reported the Teutons checked in the Asiago region, and Berlin said 10,000 Italians were cut off on tho Upper Piave and made prisoners. Lloyd George, British premier, at a Juncheon given by the French pre- mier in Paris, condemned the lack of unity in the conduct of the war. ‘The Italians and their allics, according to the Paris Matin, which tells of the decision of the new Inter-Allied Wae committee, have determined to fall back to the Adige river, where they will make a definite stand. In doing 80 they will have to leave Venice and Padua to the Invaders.

Munsey Co. SYNOPSIS A scientific expedition off the African coast rescues a human derelict, Alexis Paulvitch. He brings aboard an ap, intelligent and friendly, and reaches London. Jack, son of Lord Greystoke, the original Tarzan, has inherited a love of wild life and steals from home to see the ap, now maked friend in a music hall. The ap makes friend with his. The ap refuses to have Jack despite his trainer. Tarzan appears and is joyfully recognized by the ap, for Tarzan had been king of his tribe. Tarzan agrees to buy Akut, the ap, and send him back to Africa. Jack resolves to go along. Jack learns the ap language. Paulvitch, hating the father, tries to kill Jack, but is killed by Akut. Jack and Akut escape to Africa and enter the jungle. Mablinn and Jenssen, two Swede renegades and traders, try valyly, for mercenary reasons, to get possession of a little sheep. Akut shelt. Jack learns jungle love from Akut. Jack comes across the Swede's safari, but is repulsed. Disheartened, he takes all the more to jungle life. From a tree he spies Merlem. The shokk beats Merlem. Jack rescues her and takes her to the jungle. Attacked by Kovudou, a black chief, Jack is wounded, and Merlem is torn from him. The Swedes buy Merlem from Kovudou. In a row over her Malibun kills Jensen. A man known as Bwana rescues Merlem. Merlem, loving Korak best, leaves Baynes and discovers Korak in the jungle still bound by ropes. The elephant charges upon her, but is suddenly stopped by command of Bwana, who drops from a tree. He is Tarzan, former king of the jungle. Tarzan, his son Jack and Merlem return and bring joy to Tarzan's wife. She tells of Bayne's death from his wounds. Merlem is taken to London Merlem's father, a French nobleman, finds her after a search of many years. CHAPTER XVII. Tarzan Rûturne. A Tantor carried him deep into the jungle, nor paused until no sound from the distant village reached his keen ears. Then he laid his burden gently down. Korak struggled to free himself from his bonds, but even his great strength was unable to cope with the many strands of hard knotted cord that bound him. And while he struggled through the night with his bonds Baynes and Merlem were riding rapidly northward along the river. The girl had assured Baynes that Korak was safe in the jungle with Tantor. It had not occurred to her that the ape man might not be able to burst his bonds. Baynes had been wounded by a shot from the rifle of one of the Arabs, and the girl wanted to get him back to Bwana's home, where he could be properly cared for. "Then," she said, "I shall get Bwana to come with me and search for Kor.k. He must come and live with us." All night they rode, and the day was still young when they came suddenly upon a party hurrying southward. It was Bwana himself and his sleek, black warriors. At sight of Baynes the big Englishman's brows contracted in a scowl, but he waited to hear Meriem's story before giving vent to the long pent anger in his breast. When she had finished he seemed to have forgotten Baynes. His thoughts were occupied with another subject. "You say that you found Korak?" he asked. "You really saw him?" "Yes," replied Meriem; "as plainly as I see you, and I want you to come with me, Bwana, and help me find him again." "Did you see him?" He turned toward the Hon. Morison. "Yes, sir," replied Baynes; "very plainly." "What sort of appearing man is he?" continued Bwana. "About how old would you say?" "I should say he was an Englishman about my own age." replied Baynes, "though he might be older. He is remarkably muscled and very tanned." "His eyes and hair, did you notice them?" Bwana spoke rapidly, almost excitedly. It was Merlem who answered him. "Korak's hair is black, and his eyes are gray," she said. Bwana turned to his head man. "Take Miss Merlem and Mr. Baynes home," he said. "I am going into the jungle." "Let me go with you, Bwana!" eried Merlem. "You are going to search for Korak. Let me go too!" Bwana turned sadly but firmly upon the girl. "Your place," he said, "is beside the man you love." Then he motioned to his head man to take his horse and commence the return journey to the farm. Meriem slowly mounted the tired Arab that had brought her from the village of the shellk. A litter was rigged for the now feverish Baynes, and the little cavalcade was soon slowly winding off along the river trail. Bwana stood watching them until they were out of sight. Not once had Meriem turned her eyes backward. She rode with bowed head and drooping shoulders. Bwana sighed. Slowly he turned toward a nearby tree. Leaping upward, he caught a lower branch and drew himself up among the branches. His movements were catlike and agile. High into the tree he made his way and there commenced to divest himself of his clothing. After Bwana had left his party, sending them back toward the farm. Merlum had ridden for a short distance with bowed head. What thoughts passed through that active brain who may say? Presently she seemed to come to a decision. She called the head man to her side. The black shook his head. "No!" he announced. "Bwana says I take you home. So I take you home." Presently her horse passed beneath a low hanging branch, and the black head man found himself gazing at the girl's empty saddle. He ran forward to the tree into which she had disappeared. He could see nothing of her. He called, but there was no response unless it might have been a low, tawning laugh far to the right. He sent his men into the jungle to search for her, but they came back empty handed. After awhile he resumed his march toward the farm, for Baynes by this time was delirious with fever. Merlion, shedding the awkward Arab robe they had given her in the sheik's douar, raced in riding breeches and barefoot straight back toward the point she imagined Tantor would make for, a point where she knew the elephants often gathered deep in the forest due east of the sheik's village. She moved silently and swiftly. From her mind she had expunged all thoughts other than that she must reach Korak and bring him back with her. Now there came to her sensitive nostrils the scent of Tantor, and she knew that she was on the right trail and close to him she sought. She did not call out, because she wished to surprise him, and presently she did, breaking into sight of them as the great elephant shuffled ahead, balancing the man and the heavy stake upon his head, holding them there with his unmerciful trunk. "Korak!" cried Meriem from the foliage above him. Instantly the bull swung about, lowered his burden to the ground and, trumpeting savagely, prepared to defend his comrade. The upe man, recognizing the girl's voice, felt a sudden lump in his throat. "Meriem!" he called back to her. Happily the girl clambered to the ground and ran forward to release Korak, but Tantor lowered his head ominously and trumpeted a warning. "Go back! Go back!" cried Korak. "He will kill you!" Meriem was almost at Korak's side when Tantor saw a long knife in her hand, and then he broke forth, bellowing horribly, and charged down upon the frail girl. Korak screamed commands to his huge protector in an effort to halt him, but all to no avail. Merlion raced toward the bordering trees with all the speed that lay in her swift little feet, but Tantor, for all his huge bulk, drove down upon her with the rapidity of an express train. What was that? Korak's eyes started from their sockets. A strange figure had leaped from the tree the shade of which Merlion already had reached—leaped beyond the girl straight into the path of the charging elephant. It was a half naked white giant. Across his shoulder a coll of rope was looped. In the band of his gce-string was a hunting knife. Otherwise he was unarmed. With naked hands he faced the maddened Tantor. A sharp command broke from the stranger's lips. The great beast halted in his tracks, and Merlion swung herself upward into the tree to safety. Korak breathed a sigh of relief, not unmixed with wonder. He fastened his eyes upon the face of Meriem's de- Then He Charged Down Upon the Frail Girl. liverer, and as recognition slowly filtered into his understanding they went wide in incredulity and surprise. Tantor, still rumbling angrily, stood swaying to and fro before the giant white man. Then the latter stepped straight beneath the upraised trunk and spoke a low word of command. The great beast ceased his muttering. The savage light died from his eyes, and as the stranger stepped forward toward Korak Tantor trailed docilely at his heels. Merlem was watching, too, and wondering. Suddenly the man turned toward her. "Come, Meriem!" he called. And then she recognized him with a startied "Bwana!" "Jack!" cried the white giant, kneeling at the ape man's side. "Father!" came chokingly from the Killer's lips. "Thank God that it was you! No one else in all the jungle could have stopped Tantor." Quickly the man cut the bonds that held Korak, and as the youth struggled weakly to his feet and threw his arms about his father the older man turned toward Meriem. "I thought," he said sternly, "that I told you to return to the farm." Korak was looking at them wonderingly. In his heart was a great yearning to take the girl in his arms, but in time he remembered the other—the dapper young English gentleman—and that he was but a savage ape man. Meriem looked up pleadingly into Bwana's eyes. "You told me," she said in a very small voice, "that my place was beside the man I love." And she turned her eyes toward Korak, all filled with the wonderful light that no other man had yet seen in them and that none THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA ther ever would. The killer started toward her with ustretched arms, but suddenly he 'ell upon one knee before her instead and, lifting her hand to his lips, kissed it more reverently than he could have kissed the hand of his country's queen. A rumble from Tantor brought the three, all jungle bred, to instant alertness. Tantor was looking toward the trees behind them, and as their eyes followed his gaze the head and shoulders of a great ape appeared amid the foliage. For a moment the creature eyed them, and then from his throat rose a loud scream of recognition and of joy, and a moment later the beast had leaped to the ground, followed by a score of bulls like himself, and was waddling toward them, shouting in the primordial tongue of the anthropoid: "Tarzan has returned! Tarzan, lord of the jungle!" It was Akut, and instantly he commenced leaping and bounding about the trio, uttering hideous shrieks and mouthings that to any other human beings might have indicated the most ferocious rage, but these three knew that the king of the apes was doing homage to a king greater than himself. In his wake leaped his shaggy bulls, vying with one another as to which could spring the highest and utter the most uncanny sounds. Korak laid his hand affectionately upon his father's shoulder. "There is but one Tarzan," he said "There can never be another." CHAPTER XVIII. A Family Reunion. TWO days later the three dropped from the trees on the edge of the plain, across which they could see the smoke rising from the bungalow and the cookhouse chimneys. Tarzan of the Apes had regained his civilized clothing from the tree where he had hidden it, and as Korak refused to enter the presence of his mother in the savage half raiment that he had worn so long and as Meriem would not leave him for fear, as she explained, that he would change his mind and run off into the jungle again, the father went on ahead to the bungalow for horses and clothes. My Deer met him at the gate, her eyes filled with questioning and sorrow, for she saw that Meriem was not with him. "Where is she?" she asked, her voice trembling. "Muvri! told me that she disobeyed your instructions and run off into the jungle after you had left them. Oh, John, I cannot bear to lose her too!" And Lady Greystoke broke down and wept as she pillowed her head upon the broad breast where so often before she had found comfort in the great tragedies of her life. Lord Greystoke raised her head and looked down into her eyes, his own smiling and filled with the light of happiness. "What is it, John?" she cried. "You have good news. Do not keep me waiting for it." "I want to be quite sure that you can stand hearing the best news that ever came to either of us," he said. "Joy never kills!" she cried. "You have found—her?" She could not bring herself to hope for the impossible. "Yes, Jane," he said, and his voice was husky with emotion, "I have found her and—him!" "Where is he? Where are they?" she demanded. "Out there at the edge of the jungle. He wouldn't come to you in his savage leopard skin and his nakedness. He sent me to fetch him civilized clothing." She clapped her hands in ecstasy and turned to run toward the bungalow. "Walt!" she cried over her shoulder. "I have all his little suits. I have saved them all. I will bring one to you." Tarzan laughed and called to her to stop. "The only clothing on the place that will fit him," he said, "is mine—if it isn't too small for him. Your little boy has grown, Jane." She laughed, too; she felt like laughing at everything or at nothing. The world was all love and happiness and joy once more, the world that had been shrouded in the gloom of her great sorrow for so many years. So great was her joy that for the moment she forgot the sad message that awaited Merlem. She called to Tarzan after he had ridden away to prepare her for it, but he did not hear and rode on without knowing of it himself. And so, an hour later, Korak the Killer rode home to his mother, the mother whose image had never faded in his boyish heart, and found in her arms and her eyes the love and forgiveness that he pleaded for. And then the mother turned toward Merlem, an expression of sadness erasing the happiness from her eyes. "My little girl," she said, "in the midst of our happiness a great sorrow awaits you--Mr. Baynes did not survive his wounds." The expression of sorrow in Merlem's eyes expressed only what she sincerely felt, but it was not the sorrow of a woman bereft of her best beloved. "I am sorry," she said quite simply. "But it was not love. I did not know what love was until I knew that Korak lived," and she turned toward the Killer with a smile. Lady Greystoke looked quickly up into the eyes of her son, the son who one day would be Lord Greystoke. No thought of the difference in the stations of the girl and her boy entered her mind. To her Merlem was fit for a king. She only wanted to know that Jack loved the little Arab wiff. The look in his eyes answered the question in her heart, and she threw her arms about them both and kissed them each a dozen times. "Now," she cried, "I shall really have a daughter!" It was several weary marches to the nearest mission, but they waited at the farm only a few days for rest and preparation for the great event before setting out upon the journey, and after the marriage ceremony had been performed they kept on to the coast to They had been home for a week when Lord Greystoke received a message from his old friend D'Arnot. It was in the form of a letter of introduction brought by one General Armand Jacot. Lord Greystoke recalled the name, as who familiar with modern French history would not? For Jacot was in reality the Prince de Cadrenet, that intense republican who refused to use, even by courtesy, a title that had belonged to his family for 400 years. "There is no place for princes in a republic," he was wont to say. Lord Greystoke received the hawk nosed, gray mustached soldier in his library, and after a dozen words the two men had formed a mutual esteem that was to endure through life. And the soldier's words laid vividly before his host scenes and events nearly two decades old. He told his host how he had been a captain in the Foreign Le lion of France stationed at that time in Africa. He told how he had hunted down marauding bands of Arabs and blacks in the heart of the great desert of Salamara. He told how he had in camp with him his little four-year-old daughter and how he came back to camp one day to find that she had mysteriously disappeared. Nelther the wealth of her father and mother nor all the powerful resources of the great French republic were able to wrest the secret of her whereabouts from the inscrutable desert that had swallowed her and Jer abdouctor. A reward of such enormous proportions was offered that many adventurers were attracted to the hunt, among them Jenssen and Malbain. This was no case for the modern de- --- L. J.

The bones of some are bleaching beneath the African sun upon the silent sands of the Sahara. "I have come to you," explained General Jacot as he concluded, "because our dear admiral tells me that there is no one in all the world who is more intimately acquainted with Central Africa than you. "We did all that love and money and even government resources could do to discover her, but all to no avail. Her picture was published in the leading papers of every large city of the world, yet never did we find a man or woman who ever had seen her since the day she disappeared. "A week since there came to me in Paris a swarthy Arab, who called himself Abdul Kamak. He said that he had found my daughter and could lead me to her. I took him at once to Admiral d'Arnot, who I knew had traveled some in Central Africa. The man's story led the admiral to believe that the place where the white girl the Arab supposed to be my daughter was held in captivity was not far from your African estates, and he advised that I come at once and call upon you—that you would know if such a girl were in your neighborhood." "What proof did the Arab bring that she was your daughter?" asked Lord Grestwick. "None," replied the other. "That is why we thought best to consult you before organizing an expedition. The fellow had only an old photograph of her, on the back of which was pasted a newspaper cutting describing her and offering a reward.

A most remarkable case of arbitrary arrest has. just been brought to the attention of Justice Maunice, tho well-known South Richmond dis penser of justice, Cirastine Morris was the victim. Here is the extract taken from the news columns of tho Richmond (Va.) News Leader of No- vember 24, 1917. Chastine Iorris, colored, who was discovered last nigh’ ‘by’ Detectivo Sergeant Kellam standing by a show ease in front of the etore of Burnett Lewis, 117 East Broad street, which hag just been broken open by’ smash- ing a pano of glass, was sentenced to ninety days on the rads in polico court today on the charge of break- ing open the caso with intent to com mit larceny. —News Leader, Nov- ember 24, 1917, Ut Is allogod that Morrrs was stand- ing by the show caso that had beon smashed. Juyt why anyone would presume that the person who smashed it would have remained by the sido of tho case that he had smashed, to bo arrested, Is the mystery, ‘The pro- prictor of tho store seems to havo been unaware of the arrest until his attention was called to the publica- tion in the newspaper. He announced that the show-case had been broken some time before. and that no gcods had beei stol2n, He proceeded to inform Justice Mau: Rick of the facts In the case, and the indications are that Mons will bo released from custody MR.

All colored folks have to do Is to continue to trast God and Lelieve in the principles of eternal justice.

He also expresiel the opinion that Johnson was nov guilty. Upon ts report, Mis Excellency de clined to honor the requisition pap- ers, Not to be outdone, the Department of Justice at Washington prodeeded t» delve into the case, and indict- ment was returned by a United Stat es Grang Jury, charging John John- son with violating the Mann White Slave Act by tho transportation of a white girl from Charteston, W-est Va. to Catlettsburg, Kentucky for alleg- ed immoral purposes. ‘The charge ie too ridiculous for even a feeble mind- ed person to consider. With the Jim Crow law in force in Kentucky, how could Johnson have been, guilty of such conduct? 7 Moreover, not even a lunatic among our people would think of earying a white girl lo Kentucky for any pur pose. ‘To do so would be to enter up on a direct route to heaven or Lo the Gther place for hemp is plentifuy in Kentucky and men to pull 't may bo found on every erossvoad or at every corner.

The staging of this “play” will be transferred to a United States Court in Boston and there it will be determined, whether or not Johnson is to bo returned to West Vriginia upon a White Slave charge and after he gets there tried on another. 7 If he can bo gotten back into the Stato upon any charge the Stato authorities will immediately proceed to hold him under the original indiet- ment upon which the demand was made upon the Goyernor of Massa- chusetts. If the colored folks of Bos- ton furnish the money, tt will bo “a mighty long timo” before John John- son will reach the capital of West Virginia.

D., pastes of tho Salem Baptist Church of Jersey City, New Jersey, is haying the timo of his life Mm an attempt to unite the two warring factions of the National Baptist Convention, Me makes a most powerful appeal for unification and harmony. No Baptist, having the welfare of the denomination at heart, can fail to sympathize with him In his efforts. If the reports as sent out from Muskogee, Oklahoma, and Auanta, Georgia, were true, it would seem that harmony would be the worst thing that could happen to tho two organizations, for both bodies claimed to have done more-work and raised more money with disunign than was ever done or raised during the palmiest days of the old organt- zation, Of course, we have our private opinion as to the true value of both roports, The first step towards secur- ing harmony would be to get Ruy. Re I, Born, D.D, and Rey. B.C, Momus. D. D,, on the opposite side of a table and find out just how far each would Ko and Just what each would be will- ing to concede. ‘The next step would be to gel the’ friends of these two leaders Ina similar position, ‘The next step would be the elimination of Paesinent B,C, Monnis as Presi- dent of the iMeorporated body, and Varswent 1. P. Jones as President of the uninecrporated body, ‘The next step should be the union of the {wo publishing houses under one head, both as the property of the one recognized national body, with or Without either of the Boyds in control ‘Yo s2eure this result on the part of Pussinexy Momus, It should be a task lo raise (he full amount of money due him and to agree upon a suc: cessor agreeable to him and his friends.

De, JupKins can find five Baptists in the United States, either laymen or pulpiteors, or ‘both, who can accomptish this task, then the solution of the dificul- ties will be at hand, If the Baptists of the country realize that the leaders on both sides are antagonistic to this plan, then they “should sit down on thelr hatinches” ang let both organt- zations “go to the devil,” where both are now fast traveling.

THE PLANET SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1917. JOINT COUNCIL TO SAVE ITALY Allies Remove Cadorna as Leader In Field and Sub- stitute General Diaz. ANGLO-FRENCH TO RESCUE Rearrangement Made By Premiers at Rome—Retreat on Piave Contin- ues, With Austro-Germans in Plodding Pursuit. London.—The allies have taken a directing hand in the destinies of Italy. Cadorna is no longer generalis- imo. Three Italian commanders have been placed in direct charge of the operations in the field. The supreme direction of the campaign, however, has been assumed by a "war board," composed of General Cadorna, General Foch, chief of staff of the French war ministry, and General Wilson, chief of the British general staff. The new heads of the Italian armies in the field are: First in command, General Diaz; second in command, General Badoglio; third in command, General Grandino. This rearrangement, decided upon at conferences in Rome between the premiers of England, France and Italy and some of the best military brains of the three countries, comes at a moment when the Venetian campaign is approaching its final crisis. A further retreat, to the Brenta, would mean the abandonment of Venice. A dozen bridges were blown up on the Livenza to delay the advance of the Austro-Germans toward the Plave. The Livenza is a smaller stream than the Tagliamento, and its crossing offers fewer difficulties to the invading army, but the retiring Italian army is better organized than it was on the banks of the Tagliamento and is capable of greater resistance. Indeed, some of the Italian contingents are animated by such ardor to fight the enemy that they are losing contact with the main body and risk being surrounded by the Austro-Germans, who have advanced either or lower on the river than the position occupied by the Italians. Meanwhile the Italian retreat has really shortened the fighting line, inducing it to scarcely thirty miles in length. This favors the concentration of Italian forces for defense. "Our troops," reported Caderna in his last bulletin as commander in chief, "continue to arrive and establish themselves on the positions which have been chosen for the resistance." He added a word of praise for the bravery of the Italian rear guards and covering units which are impeding the Teuton pursuit. Berlin reported the crossing of the Livenza and said the Italian rear guard resistance was being overcome. Not a move had been made up to date by the Teuton Trentino army. The Teuton strategy now appears to be to keep this army, the greatest menace to Italy, since it was likely to dash southward to take the Italians in the rear, immobile as a "club" to force a further retirement. The names of the new Italian commanders are known in every Italian home. General Diaz won fame in the Lybian war. General Badoglio commanded a brigade of Bersagliller, "Italy's Cossacks," whose heroic valor is proverbial and who did much to prevent a cave-in of the Italian front after the Isonzo was forced. General Grandino was war minister in the Boselli cabinet. Two German attacks, one at Verdun, near Chaume wood, and the other in Lorraine, were repulsed with severe losses to the attackers, the French war office announces. A successful raid was made by the French into the German lines in upper Alsace. WORLD'S NEWS IN CONDENSED FORM NEW YORK.—John R. Rathom, editor of the Providence Journal, declared in an address at the Canadian club that the thousands of spies and alien plotters at liberty threatened the nation with a catastrophe and that traitors should be intered or shot. WASHINGTON.—Coal will be shipped by water instead of rail along the coast by the fuel administration to release cars, increase the output and reduce freight charges. BERLIN.—The German war food bureau says that more than 10,000 substitutes are now being used. Of this number 7,000 are for food. PARIS. — General Pershing says troops and supplies are now reaching France in increasing numbers and that so far German U-boats have not caused the death of a single east bound American soldier. NEW YORK.—Mystery surrounded the origin of the fire which caused the loss of $2,000,000 to the Washburn Wire Works, which had war contracts, and because of the number of Austrians employed an investigation is being conducted to determine if the fire was the result of a enemy plot. LONDON.—A state of war has been declared in Finland. ANDREW BONAR LAW Chancellor of the Exchequer Wants U. S. In Allied Council. PETER H. Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor of the exchequer, said in the House of Commons it was hoped that the United States would participate in the deliberations of the inter-allied war council which would meet at Versailles once a month or more often with a view to better co-ordination of military action. GOL. HOUSE HEADS MISSION ARRIVES AT BRITISH PORT FOR GREATEST WAR CONFERENCE. Will Perfect More "Complete Co-ordination to Attain Highest War Efficiency," Lansing Says. Washington. — With the safe arrival of the American war mission in Europe the ban of secrecy has been removed from the most important cooperative move which the United States has yet made in the conflict against Germany. The American delegates are Col. Edward M. House, Admiral W. S. Benson, chief of operations, U. S. N.; Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, chief of staff, U. S. A.; Oscar T. Crosby, assistant secretary of the treasury; Vance C. McCormick, chairman War Trade board; Bainbridge Colby, chairman Shipping board; Dr. Alonza E. Taylor, representing the food administration; Thomas Nelson Perkins, representing the priority board. and Gordon Auchinloss, secretary for the mission. The United States in the employment of its man power and material resources desires to use them to the greatest advantage against Germany. It has been no easy problem to determine how they can be used most effectively since the independent presentation of requirements by the allied governments have been more or less conflicting on account of each government's appreciation of its own wants. By a general survey of the whole situation and a free discussion of the needs of all the approaching conference will undoubtedly be able to give to the demands of the several governments their true perspective and proper place in the general plan for the conduct of the war. KERENSKY TAKEST SARKOE-3ELO Said to Be In Communication With Loyal Forces in Capital. London. — Tsarkoe-solo, 15 miles south of Petrograd, has been occupied by pro-Korensky troops, who have taken over the principal wireless station. Kerensky is reported to be approaching the capital at the head of 200,000 troops and to have established communication with loyal troops which already are engaged in attacks on the Bolshevik there. The dispatch, which is the first to get past the Lenine censorship, says that large bodies of Cossacks, supported by the Minimalists, have been battling in the streets of Petrograd with the Bolshevik and are mastering the revolutionists. A dispatch from Haparanda, on the Swedish frontier, says Kerensky escaped from Petrograd in an automobile ambulance the night of November 6, when the extremists seized control of the government offices, and that he arrived safely at the general army headquarters, where 200,000 Russian troops have rallied to his support. The garrison at Moscow, it is reported, has re-transferred allegiance to the Kerensky government and is said to be fighting against the Bolshevik at the Kremlin, where the extremist forces took refuge. "VICTORY DEPENDS ON AMERICA" Canadian Food Controller Says Continent Must Feed World. Washington.—It is up to the people of North America to win the war. They can do it by providing food in greater quantities for the people of all the allied countries, according to W. J.

German-American War President Wilson, in an appeal to the American Federation of Labor Convention at Buffalo for the loyal co-operation of the working men of the nation, made it clear that there will be no peace until Germany is defeated. His remarks were wildly cheered by a large audience. Capt. Eric Koheritz of the American steamship Rochester, sunk by a German submarine, said the torpedo was sighted only ten seconds before it struck and that the Rochester never had a chance to escape. The survivors suffered severely during five days in the open boats. WALTER E. EDGE Jersey Governor Who Will Visit Troops at Alabama Camp. [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie].

THE PLANET SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1, 1917 JOINT COUNCIL TO SAVE ITALY Allies Remove Cadorna as Leader In Field and Substitute General Diaz. ANGLO-FRENCH TO RESCUE Rearrangement Made By Premiers at Rome—Retreat on Piave Continues, With Austro-Germans in Plodding Pursuit. London. The allies have taken a directing hand in the destinies of Italy. Cadorna is no longer generalisimo. Three Italian commanders have been placed in direct charge of the operations in the field. The supreme direction of the campaign, however, has been assumed by a "war board," composed of General Cadorna, General Foch, chief of staff of the French war ministry, and General Wilson, chief of the British general staff. The new heads of the Italian armies in the field are: First in command, General Diaz; second in command, General Badoglio; third in command, General Grandino. This rearrangement, decided upon at conferences in Rome between the premiers of England. France and Italy and some of the best military brains of the three countries, comes at a moment when the Venetian campaign is approaching its final crisis. A further retreat, to the Brenta, would mean the abandonment of Venice. A dozen bridges were blown up on the Livenza to delay the advance of the Austro-Germans toward the Piave. The Livenza is a smaller stream than the Tagliamento, and its crossing offers fewer difficulties to the invading army, but the retiring Italian army is better organized than it was on the banks of the Tagliamento and is capable of greater resistance. Indeed, some of the Italian contingents are animated by such ardor to fight the enemy that they are losing contact with the main body and risk being surrounded by the Austro-Germans, who have advanced either earlier or lower on the river than the station occupied by the Italians. Meanwhile the Italian retreat has readily shortened the fighting line, during it to scarcely thirty miles in length. This favors the concentration of Italian forces for defense. "Our troops," reported Cadorma in his last bulletin as commander in chief, "continue to arrive and establish themselves on the positions which have been chosen for the resistance." He added a word of praise for the bravery of the Italian rear guards and covering units which are impeding the Teuton pursuit. Berlin reported the crossing of the Livenza and said the Italian rear guard resistance was being overcome. Not a move had been made up to date by the Teuton Trentino army. The Teuton strategy now appears to be to keep this army, the greatest menace to Italy, since it was likely to dash southward to take the Italians in the rear, immobile as a "club" to force a further retirement. The names of the new Italian commanders are known in every Italian home. General Diaz won fame in the Lybian war. General Badoglio commanded a brigade of Bersaglieri, "Italy's Cossacks," whose heroic valor is proverbial and who did much to prevent a cave-in of the Italian front after the Isonzo was forced. General Grandino was war minister in the Boselli cabinet.
