WE SERVE - INFORM - ADVERTISE THE RICHMOND PANEET Virginia State Library RAGE - COUNTRY - WORLD NEWS THE PASSING AWAY OF A PROGRESSIVE AND BUSY YOUNG WOMAN. Lynchburg, Va.—Miss Ann Gustavus Wilkerson, one of Lynchburg's popular and active Church and race workers, died February 28, at her home, 604 Harrison Street. Strong and lovely in Christian character and loved by all who knew her, she leaves many sorrowing hearts among hosts of friends. The loss to the family of her father some years ago, added to the labors of her young life the necessity of helping to provide for the home and the care of a mother, and in this she recognized the great task life had thrust upon her. Miss Wilkerson was appointed to a clerical position in Richmond, 1905 and served this work seven years with credit to herself and was transferred to the Lynchburg branch of the same business until she entered the office of the Southern Aid Society, continuing for five years till stricken by the illness which ended her life. A long Christian service as a devoted and consistent member of the Court Street Baptist Church and a sympathizer with all its local and field endeavors has easily won for her a distinction most lovable because of her fidelity and courage. The funeral services were conducted from this Church, March 2, before a surging mass of friends gathered to pay their last respects to "Gussie" as she was familiarly called. Rev, L. O. Lewis, pastor of the Eighth Street Baptist Church, officiated, assisted by Rev. C. G. Curry, pastor of the Jackson Street M. E. Church, Rev. C. G. Cabell, of the Rivermont Baptist Church, Rev. B. Tyrrell, of the Diamond Hill Baptist Church and Rev. Vernon Johns, of the Seminary faculty. Miss Wilkerson will be remembered by a large course of friends in Richmond among whom she moved during her residence there. RESOLUTIONS Lynchburg, Va., March 2, 1920. Miss Annie Gussie Wilkerson, who was secretary and stenographer of the Lynchburg district of the Southern Aid Insurance Company departed this life Saturday night, February 28 at her late residence, 604 Harrison Street. The looving resolutions were adopted by the agent force: Whereas, She has been an active and faithful clerk for the company for more than five years and doing all that was in her power for the success thereof until she was called to eternity's shore, leaving nine agents and a superintendent to share the sad bereavements with the family and friends. But with the hope that though see no longer, she may be a ministering angel in our office. Be it ever borne in mind that there is only one true source of our consolation that we shall meet Gussie, whom we loved, in another and a better world, where the weary are at rest, and. Whereas. To the family be it said alas how fresh in our memory is the recollection of the loveliness and the innocence of the departed. All that was mortal is changed now, and clouded forever, but how great is yours and our comfort in the well grounded assurance that the Good Shepherd who cares for His flock has taken the gentle lamb to His fold. And yet so weak and inefficient is all human consolation that we scarcely know how to express the deep sense we have of the heavy stroke under which you are prostrated. And, Whereas. To the mother be it said, your daughter has gone to Him who says, "Suffer little children to come unto me" (and we know not how soon our time may come.) Yours indeed is a sad bereavement but we doubt not from your strong faith in Him who does all things well that you will be sustained and comforted by your daughter's, "Meet me there for I rest in peace." The recollection of her, who has been so serviceable to this community and who has so lately departed must be so full of painful regret that we will not dwell on this side of the picture, but rather look to its higher aspect in the hope that she has gone to a happier sphere and that which is lost to us is her unspeakable gain. O that we may all meet in that bright and happier world, where sorrow and $s_{h}$ and suffering are alike unknown. "Servant of God, well done. Thy glorious warfare past. The battle fought, the race is won. And thou art crowned at last." Be It Resolved. That a copy of these resolutions be given to the family and one be sent to Christian Appeal for publication. That a higher than human power may console and support the bereaved ones under this heavy stroke, is the earnest prayer of the Agent Force and Superintendent of the Southern Aid Society of Virginia.

(By Edgar G. Brown) Indianapolis, Indiana, March 9.—As I have been a constant reader of your spending paper on over a year, I would like to submit to you the following statement which I hope you will find space in your paper to print. I have received one hundred and two letters from editors all over the country which on the whole express ed this sentiment, "I am not particularly interested in who is the nominee of the Republican party. It matters not what his name may be or what his vocation may be, if he is right on the question affecting my race and the business of this country, he is my candidate." I am in complete sympathy with the thought, that he (candidate) must be right on the race question, I would be a traitor if I were not, and I, also, believe that the candidate of the Republican party must be an out and out American concerned primarily with the business of this country like Lincoln of old and the late Theodore Roosevelt. I take direct exception to the state ment that it matters not what his (the candidate's) name may be; be cause, first this statement means nothing but evasion of the issue and saviors of the usual political pussy-footing, and secondly because back of a candidate's name is the man and his record both of which can be studied. One hundred and twenty-three editors have fearlessly chosen General Wood as the champion of the Square Deal to all men. What is the matter with the one hundred and two? The facts, the past records, and the pres out utterances, and platform of General Leonard Wood are open to all alike. Are we to forever go on leading only where there is darkness? I think the colored people of the United States are entitled to know that General Wood is right on our question, that he is the only candidate up to date to openly champion the cause of every American white or black who is in trouble and that it does matter to two million colored voters what the candidate's name is for president of the greatest Democracy in the world. --- MINISTERS' CONFERENCE. President Payne Presides—Rev, E. D. Coffee Dissatisfied. The Ministers' Conference met at the same old place, the Second Baptist Church, the President, Dr. E. Payne presiding. Several reports were made among them the report of the committee on the so-called Good Shepherd brethren. The objection to this group of brethren is that they are not properly organized, neither are they recognized and yet some of our ministers are fellowshipping them. It was reported also that the pastor of these brethren is an excluded member of one of our city Churches, which is known to all. The announcement of the death of Dr. P. S. Lewis, of Charlotte, N. C. was received with deep regret and the Conference voted to send a telegram to the widow and a representative to attend the funeral on Wednesday. The death of Dr. E. D. Samuels, of New Jersey was announced. The program committee was called but they made no report. Dr. W. T. Johnson preached to a packed house at the Fifth Street Baptist Church last Sunday, at 3:30. More than $1,900 was raised jointly for missions. This is great for our Lord's Kingdom. Rev. Coffee was very much displeased with the action of the Conference, in the case reported concerning Dr. Morris being fellowshipped by some of our brethren. Notwithstanding the opposition of the white Methodists in not allowing their colored membership standing in the counsels of their Church, the Inter-Church World Movement is receiving much attention in our city and will be discussed next Monday morning as the order of the day. All of the members and friends of All of the members and friends of the Conference are urged to be on time. Opens Dental Offices. Dr. D. B. Williams wishes to announce that he has opened his Dental Office at 110 W. Baker Street and is now ready to serve his friends and the public. DO YOU KNOW HER?

The reorganization of the work which has been conducted in this city for the past two years by War Camp Community Service has been completed, and all of the War Camp activities which have proved so popular among the citizens of the community will be continued by the Community Recreation Association, an organization recently formed for that purpose.

The clubs are meeting regularly and the attendance for the first week under the new arrangement was greater than for any week since the Girls' activities were interrupted by the epidemic of influenza and the Red Circle. Club was taken over by the city as an emergency hospital. The Spartan Literary and Athletic Association will also maintain elegant and commodious quarters in the center and will have complete charge of the billboard rooms and athletic department.

Williams Hampton, Va., March—The Hampton oniate gave the greatest surprise of the season by defeating Howard University basketball team at the great Coliseum, on Friday night. March 5 by a score of 17 to 16. On the night of the game Washinton was in the grip of the worst season experienced during the entire winter. The Howard student body and the good size crowd of his ketball fans that braved the storm saw one of the ever exhibitions of basketball ever seen in the Capital City. The singing of the Howard college songs and the yellow by the student body gave the game a strictly college atmosphere. From the sound of the revered whistle until the end the game was the closest and hardest fought ever played between the two institutions. Howard at the opening of the first half scored a 9 to 4 lead, but Hampton settled down and this half ended a 9 to 9. The second half began with hots (trains playing "to the death" thrustle). Howard kept a one or two point lead, until the last five minutes when Hampton secured the one point lead which it held. The guarding, posing and speed of both teams throughout the game were shortenning and brought the crowd to do the best time after time. The playing of the Hamilton team during the last four minutes and with a one point lead, electrified the spectators as well as mystified the Hawkers. The Howard team was completely nonplussed by the ninety needed strength of Hamilton. Welch and Foenicei at guard and McLennan at forward, for Hamilton played slater ball; while the Tibbs and Corner for Howard were the pointers. Five seconds reviled, but the game will long be needed for the close guarding and hard playing. HAMPTON'S RECORD Hampton's basketball record for the season is as follows: - Six college games played, with five victories. Shaw was defeated at Hampton and at Lafayette, 31 to 15 and 21 to 21. Lincoln was defeated at Hampton and Philadelphia, 28 to 15 and 22 to 24. Hampton lost the first game to Howard at Hampton, 35 to 24; but won the second game to Washington, 17 to 16. Howard, the only contender for championship honors, played three games, winning two and losing one Hampton's basketball record, therefore, entitled to the 1920 College Championship. The lineup of the game was as follows: - Hampton—McLaren and Bradby, Forwards; Paxton, Center; Wright and Forensian, Guards. - Howard—Parish and Tibbs, Forwards; Garner, Center; Marshall and Wright; Gards; Substitutions, Carter, Johnson and Keen. - Referee Bennie Washington, Arm strong Manual Training School, Time keepers Phillips and Harris. - Scores Clayton and Alex.

WILSON PEACE FAILURE IS REVEALED BY DILLON ittered Principles Made at Paris to Mean Opposite and Were Written in Treaty Washington, March—President Wilson's failure at the peace conference and his subsequent determination to trick in the terms of that failure despite the efforts of the Republicans in the Senate to Amreicanize the treaty are brought out in a publication by Dr. Dillon, a famous European publicist, and read to the Senate by Senator William E. Borah, of Idaho, Dr. Dillon says: "The conference has transformed Europe into a seething mass of mutually hostile states powerless to face the economic competition of their overseas rivals, and has left the very elements of society in flux. It is practices like these which ultimately determine the worth of the treaties and the covenant, which Mr. Wilson was content to take back with him to Washington as the final outcome of what was to have been the most superb achievement of historic man. Of the new ethical principles, of the generous renunciation of privileges, of the righting of secular wrongs, of the respect that was to be shown for the weak, which we, we have connected the union of peoples into one practice if not blissful finally, were remained but the memory. No bitter draughts of disappointment was swallowed by the nations since the world first had a political history. Many of the reounding phrases that once forelooked a new era of peace right and equity were not mere emptied of their contents but made to compete their opposites. Freedom of the seas became supremacy of the seas, which may turn out to be able al consummation for all concerned but should not have been smuggled in under a gross mismeron. The abolition of war means, as British and American and French generals and admirals have since told their fellow citizens, thorough preparations for the next war, which are not to be confined as heretofore to the so-called military states, but are to extend over all Auglo-Saxonond. Open covenants openly arrived at signify secret concludes and conspirative deliberations carried on in Im penetrable secrecy which can not be disposed with even after the whole business has passed into history. The self determination of peoples finds its limit in the rights of every great power to hold its subject nationalities, in thrill on the ground test their reciprocal relations attain to the domestic policy of the state. It means, further, the privilege of those who use superior force to put irresistible pressure upon those who are weak, and the lever which it places in their hands for the purpose is to be known under the attriative name of the protection of minorities.

Miss Annie Gussie Wilkerson, who was secretary and stenographer of the Lynchburg district of the Southern Aid Insurance Company departed this life Saturday night, February 28 at her late residence, 604 Harrison Street. The low flowing resolutions were adopted by the agent force. She is known active and faithful clerk for the company for more than five years and doing all that was in her power for the success therEOF until she was called to eternity's shore, leaving nine agents and a superintendent to share the sad bereavements with the family and friends.

And yet so weak and inefficient is all human consolation that we scarcely know how to express the deep sense we have of the heavy stroke under which you are prostrated. And, Whereas, To the mother be it said, your daughter has gone to Him who says, "Suffer little children to come into me" (and we know not how soon our time may come.) Yours indeed is a sad bereavement but we doubt not from your strong love that you will be sustained and comforted by your daughter's, "Meet me there for I rest in peace." The recollection of her, who has been so serviceable to this community and who has so lately departed must be so full of painful regret that we will not dwell on this side of the picture, but rather this to its higher aspect in the hope that she has gone to a happier sphere and that which is lost to us is her unspakeable gain. O that we may all meet in that bright and happier world, where sorrow and sin and suffering are alike unknown. "Servant of God, well done, Thy glorious warfares past, The battle fought, the race is won And thou art crowned at last."

Brown.) Indianapolis, Indiana, March 9.— As I have been a constant reader of your splendid paper for over a year I would like to submit to you the following statement which I hope you find space in your paper to print. I have received one hundred and two letters from editors all over the country which on the whole expressed this sentiment, "I am not particularly interested in who is the nominee of the Republican party. It matters not what his name may be or how vocation may be, if he is right on the business of office, race and the business of this country, he is my candidate." I am'n complete sympathy with the thought that he (candidate) must be right on the race question, I would be a traitor if I were not; and I, also, believe that the candidate of the Republican party must be an out and out American concerned primist like Lincoln of old and the late Theodore Roosevelt. I take direct exception to the state ment that it matters not what his (the candidate's) name may be; be cause, first this statement means nothing but evasion of the issue and savors of the usual political pussy-footing, and secondly because back in a candidate's name is the man and his record both of which can be studied. One hundred and twenty-three editors have fearlessly chosen General Wood as the champion of the Square Deal to all men. What is the matter with the one hundred and two? The facts, the past records, and the pres ent utterances, and platform of General Leonard Wood are open to all alike. Are we to forever go on lead ing only where there is darkness? I think the colored people of the United States are entitled to know that General Wood is right question, that he is the only candidate, that he date to openly champion the cause of every American white or black who is in trouble and that it does matter to two million colored voters what the candidate's name is for president of the greatest Democracy in the world. MINISTERS' CONFERENCE. President Payne Presides—Rev. E. D. Coffee. Dissatisfied. The Ministers' Conference met at the same old place, the Second Baptist Church, the President, Dr. E. Payne presiding. Several reports were made among them the report of the committee on the so-called Good Shepherd brethren. The objection to this group of brethren is that they are not properly organized, neither are they recognized and yet some of our ministers are fellowshipping them. It was reported also that the pastor of these brethren is an excluded member of one of our city Churches, which is known to all. The announcement of the death of Dr. P. S. Lewis, of Charlotte, N. C. was received with deep regret, the Conference voted to send a telephone to and a representative to attend the funeral on Wednesday. The death of Dr. E. D. Samuel, of New Jersey was announced. The program committee was called but they made no report. Dr. W. T. Johnson preached to a packed house at the Fifth Street Baptist Church last Sunday, at 3:30. More than $1,900 was raised jointly for missions. This is great for our Lord's Kingdom. Rev. Caffee has very much displeased with the action of the Conference, in the case reported concerning Dr. Morris being fellowshipipped by some of our brethren. Notwithstanding the opposition of the white Methodists in not allowing their colored membership standing in the councils of their Church, the Inter-Church World Movement is receiving much attention in our city morning as the order of the day. All of the members and friends of the Conference are urged to be on time. Opens Dental Offices. Dr. D. B. Williams wishes to announce that he has opened his Dental Office at 110 W.

The Navy Club occupies the on the third floor of the building, and is even more attractive and comfortable than in its old quarters at Fourth and Clay Streets. The clubs are meeting regularly and the attendance for the first week under the new arrangement was greater than for any week since the Girls' activities were interrupted by epidemic of Influenza and the Red Cycle Club was taken over by the city as an emergency hospital. The same policies in regard to meetings and entertainments in the center will continue. The Spartan Literary and Athletic Association will also maintain elegant and commodious quarters in the center and will have complete charge of the billboard rooms and athletic department.

Hampton, Va., March—The Hampton quintet gave the greatest surprise of the season by defeating Howard University basketball team at the great Coliseum, on Friday mid. March 5, by a score of 17 to 6. On March 6, the game Washington was in the grief the team experienced during the entire winter. The Howard student body and the good-size crowd of bus ket-ball fans that braved the storm saw one of the finest exhibitions of basketball ever seen in the Capital City. The singing of the Howard college songs and the yells by the student body gave the game a stricty college atmosphere. Wright, and Freeman at guard and McLaren at forward for Hampton, played stellar ball; while Tibbs and Carner for Howard were the point, but the game will not must be played, the game will not must be played for the close guarding and hard playing. HAMPTON'S RECORD Hampton's basketball record for the season is as follows: Six college games played, with five victories. Shaw was defeated at Hampton and at Raleigh, 31 to 15 and 24 to 21. Lincoln was defeated at Hampton and Philadelphia, 28 to 15 and 32 to 24. Hampton lost the first game to Howard at Hampton, 35 to 24; but won the second game in Washington, 17 to 16. Howard, the only contender for championship honors, has played three games, winning two and losing one. Hampton's basketball record, therefore, entitles her to the 1920 College Championship. The line-up of the game was as follows: Hampton—McLaren and Brady, Forwards; Paxton, Center; Wright and Foreman, Guards. Howard—Parish and Tibbs, Forwards; Garner, Center; Marshall and Wright, Guards; Substitutions, Carter, Johnson and Keen. Referee—Bonnie Washington, Arm strong Manual Training School, Time keepers Phillips and Harris. Scorers, Claytor and Allex. Time of halves, 20 minutes. Score, Hampton 17, Howard 16.

WILSON PEACE FAILURE IS REVEALED BY BILLON. Uttederm Principles Mado at Paris to Meat Writer. Were Written in Trenty. Washington, March.—President Wilson's failure at the peace conference and his subsequent determination to stick to the terms of that failure despite the efforts of the Republicans in the Senate to Amrelicize the treaty are brought out in a publication by Dr. Dillon, a famous Europoorbist, and read to the Senate by Senator William E. B. Borah, of Idaho Dr. Dillon says: "The conference has transformed Europe into a seething mass of mutually hostile states unless to face the economic competition of their overseas rivals, and has left the very elements of society in flux. It is practices like these which ultimately determine the worth of the treaties and the covenant which Mr. Wilson was content to take back with him to Washington as the final outcome of what was to have been the most superb achievement of historic man. Of the new ethical principles, the are generous renunciation of privileges, of/ the righting of secular writings, the respect that was to be shown for the weak, which was to have cemented the union of peoples to one pacific if it blessed familial, were remained but the memory. No such bitter draught of disgrace was swallowed by the nations since the world first had a political history. Many of the resounding phrases that once foretooked a new era of peace right and equity were not more easily emptied of their contents but made to connote their opposites. Freedom became supremacy of the scas, which which was consummated consummation for all concerned but should not have been smuggled in under a gross misnomer. The abolition of war means, as British and American and French generals and admirals have since told their fellow citizens, thorough preparations for war, and confined as perfeiore to the so-called military states, but are to extend over all Anglo-Saxonom. Open covenants openly arrived at signify secret cloakies and consiprative deliberations, carried on in im penetrable secrecy which can not be dispensed with even after the whole business has passed into history. The soft deformation of peoples' limits in the rights of every great town on the ground of nationalities in thralk on the ground that their reciprocal relations appertain to the domestic policy of the state. It means, further, the privilege of those who use superior force to put irresistible pressure upon those who are weak, and the lever which it places in their hands for the purpose is to be known under the attrairive name of the protection of minorities. Abstention from interference in the home affairs of a neighboring TWO THE PACIFIC SATURDAY.....MARCH 13, 1920 GALLERIES CHEER WILDLY. Machine and Dry Forces Unite But Go Down Before "Antl" Onslaught. Despite a peculiar combination of orthodox prohibitionists and followers of the machine forces of Virginia, Rev. J. Sidney Peters, candidate for re-election to the office of State Commissioner of Prohibition, last night suffered defeat at the hands of a joint Democratic caucus. He was beaten by a majority of two votes by Harry B. Smith, former member of the House from Culpeper. So close and uncertain was the vote that a second verification of the roll call was necessary. Even then the result was in doubt, as James H. Price of Richmond city, who presided anounced that the vote was a tie—48 to 48. J. Wilmer Guerrant, the Delegate from Caroline, who had not voted rose to his feet to announce the fateful word—Smith or Peters—that was destined to send one of the candidate to his defeat. At least, that is the way it looked to the man "up a tree." It had been announced that the vote was a tie, and many thought that the ballot of the Delegate from Caroline was to determine the result. This already had been decided, as a checking up of the roll call later died closed that Smith already had a bare margin of one vote. Delegate Guerrero had not intended to vote, he said, but after mature deliberation, felt that it was necessary for him to cast vote for one or the other of the latees. WILD DEMONSTH RESULTS A deathly stillness pervaded the hall. Hated breaths upwards of a thousand persons hung on the nox word that, every one then believed, was fraught with the greatest significance. It came. "I vote for Smith." This was the spark that set off the greatest demonstration that probably ever has been staged in the stately, dignified Capitol Building. Cheers and yells rent the air. Hair were thrown about and with their faces wreathed in smiles the crowd left the hall, most of them apparently satisfied. Handshaking was the order of the day—or night. Some shook hands with others whom they did not know—and probably had not seen. Some one was heard to explain: "I wouldn't take $50,000 for this." While the result is an out and out victory for the anti-machine element of Virginia, the defeat of Commissioner Peters was viewed in the same light by the "wets"—by those opposed not only to the incumbent of the office of Prohibition Commissioner and to prohibition. The tumult that followed announcement of Smith's nomination collapsed anything that has been seen in either branch of the General Assembly so far this session and many past sessions. It resembled more nearly scenes that one might expect to see enacted at a national convention. The nomination of Smith makes his election certain, as the confirmation of the Senate and House is a matter of routine. Smith will take over the State Prohibition Department on September 1 for a term of two years, when the department will be abolished, unless the next General Assembly reverses the present legislative action in voting for abolition on September 1, 1922. DID NOT SPARE PETER'S FEEL INGS. Nother the Prohibition Department nor the present commissioner was spared by those who advocated the ousting of Peters. Then, too, members of the House who favored abolition of the Prohibition Department were accused of having "waved the black flag." Major E. H. Gibson of Culpeper was particularly denunciatory of the department, its chief officer and everything appertaining thereto. The Delogate from Culpeper, the first to nominate Smith, opened for the anti machine forces. He was preceded by Senator G. Walter Mapp of Accomac father of the Mapp prohibition law, and stanch advocate of Commissioner Peters. Prohibition in Virginia, Senator Mapp said, while not a absolute success has been attended by splendid results. No new reform is a complete success in its years, he declared. The Prohibition Department was called upon to inaugurate the enforcement of the most drastic law that has ever been placed upon the statute books of the State he said. The Prohibition Commisstoner he believed has sought to enforce the law consciously. Although he has made mistakes, they have been mistakes of judgment. The General Assembly itself is not in fallible he argued. DEFEAT REFLECTION ON DRYS The defeat of Commissioner Pete he warned, would have two serious effects. First, upon Peters as an individual and, second it would be a sorrowful How to prohibition. Enemies of prohibition in Virginia would herald it as the disintegration of the prohibition forces in Virginia. Commissioner Petros he said was to be admired for the enemies he had made. The success of prohibition in Virginia demanded his re-election. Major Gibson replied to the charge of those who, he said had seen fit to taunt the House with the black flag of law defiance. Members of the House he assorted, with some show of feeling are as law-abiding as are those of the upper branch. Peters he said had appeared before the House Committee on Moral and Social Welfare and asked that a resolution introduced by Major Gibson calling for a "showdown" on the part of the Prohibition Department be not reported out. Peters, he said, admitted that he was unable to furnish certain information demanded by the resolution. His inability to furnish the date sought, coupled with his request to have the resolution killed in committee, was unfair, he said, to the committee, unfair to the House and unfair to Virginia. The Joyce resolution, calling for a complete investigation of the Prohibition Department, he said although passing the House by a unanimous vote, was smothered in the Senate by Senator Mapp and his "solid phalanx" and then resurrected when it was too late to do any one good. He repeated the words of the Sonnet from Accomac who said the proposed investigation was child's play Action of Mapp and his colleagues with respect to the same measure Gibson described as evidence of senile old age. RESENT ATTACKS BY DIYS He did not believe the opinion of the Attorney-General that the Prohibition Department was within its legal rights. In employing outside counsel to defend its agents accused of crime, would hold water in any court of Justice. Incorporation into the bill to abolish the Prohibition Department in 1922 of a clause providing that the funds of the department were not to be used in employing outside counsel, was the strongest kind of a condemnation of such practice he said. He resented the imputation that those who opposed the continuance of the Prohibition Department were accomplices of bookkeepers. To say that agents of the "dry" department were aligned with this gang more nearly would be correct, he said. Poters, said Major Gibson had sought to drive a bargain with the old organization Democrats. He made passing reference to the Smith lot he written to Senator Downing, and read in the Senate by the representatives in the upper branch from Lancaster. He did not overlook Bishop Cannon to whom he referred as the boss of the House. Cannon, he said, was here to take Poters home in the event of his defeat, and give him a job. "For God's sake," he said, "don't again saddle the Prohibition Department with a man who cannot make a living at anything else." If Smith were elected, he said, that could be the end of it. He wouldn't be back within two years asking to be reelected. On the other hand wore "Poters to be returned," "you will have the old brothers—the political parons—back here, buttonholing and communing with you." He scored the Collector of Intern- Revenue for alleged lobbying in the interest of Peters—"when he is said to look after the business of the Federal government." A preacher in politics is as despairful as a whisky man in politics, he said in conclusion. A public officer like Caesar's wife should be above reproach or get out, Stephenson, of Bath, said. No one with a spark of Virginia manhood in him would let go unanswered charges such as have been made against the Prohibition Commission, he said. "The hour struck, the time has come, when we must put principle, above the individual," declared William, of Fairfax. "When a preacheroses the confidence and respect of any proportion of his congregation, the time has arrived for a change. Mr. Peters has forfeited the sympathy and co-operation of a vast majority of Christian citizens and officials." The election of Smith would be the second best thing that could hap pun for prohibition in Virginia declared Warren, of Pittsylvania. Abolition of the Prohibition Department is the first. RICHMOND DELEGATES DIVIDED The Richmond delegation was divided. Price, Boschen and Wilcox voted for Smith. Haddon and Fuller voted for Peters. The Smiths In the House—there are four of them—voted solidly for Smith. Both Omps and Downing were announced as paired with Henley. The Downing-Henley pair being the first to be announced. Omps' vote was ordered stricken from the roll. Had he been present. Omps would have voted for Smith. Others who seconded the nomination of Smith were Ramsey, of Henry; Epes of Nottoway; Miller of Rapahannock; Stephenson, of Bath; Hurt of Nottoway; Williams of Fairfax; Conduant of Prince Edward; Charles F. Smith, of Dinwiddie and Warren of Pittsylvania. FIVE JUDGES NOMINATED Judge D. C. Richardson was renominated to succeed himself on the bench of Hustings Court, PartII, of Richmond city by a joint Democratic caucus in the House last night. Other nominations were as follows: Civil Justice Court of the city of Portsmouth, J. Louis Thomas. Corporation Court, city of Alexandria—Judge Louis C. Barley, the pres ent incumbent.

Kept Secret From U. S. Which Gave Unlimited Assistance and UntoM Treasure. FIRM AS A ROCK ON FIUME Resenting Slur on Illness, Agrees to Italian- Jugo- Slav Settlement Only on Lines of Justice. Washington, D, C. March 7.—President Wilson's reply to allies in the Flume controversy is, as already forecast, an announcement of his duterte initiation to stand by the agreement of December 9, which was entered into by the United States, Great Britain and France. The State Department today made public the text of the note and it is believed that another reply will be forthcoming from the British and French Premiers chiefly because the President explains that he will not sanction any partitioning of Albania even though such a step might bring an agreement between Italy and Jugo-Slavia. The President expresses recent ment over the intention of the British and French to withdraw the agreement of December 9, between the United States, France and Great Britain and proceed on a new basis. He takes the view that if this agreement were set aside, the allies would have an excuse for reviving the pact of London, which was drawn up in secrecy during the war and to which he is unalterably opposed. NO WARRANT FOR SECRECY No words are minced by the Presidet in expressing his antagonism to wards the pact of London. He says bluntly that he is unable to find to the "oxigenes of military strategy" sufficient warrant for exercising such secrecy with the United States, a government which was intimately associated in the task of defending human freedom and that was called upon for unlimited assistance and untold treasure. The President recalls to the Premiers, in response to their plaint matters, in response to their plaint that they were inconvenienced by the absence of an American representative with plenary power in the battle-day conferences that many times decided by the supreme councill were delayed because British and French representatives had not obtained the views of their governments. In short it is apparent that the President will continue to oppose any solution of the Adriatic problem that is not based on the agreement of December 9, and that he will stand out to the end against a solution predicated upon the terms of the treaty of London. DAMMOND DESIGNS CUBAN BUILDINGS. Boston, Mass.—Wm. H.

He was professor of mathematics successively of Paul Quinn College, Texas, and of Wil伯诺威 University, Ohio. He resigned his position in the latter institution in order to accept a position as an assistant bridge engineer of the Michigan Central Railroad—a position which he hold for seven and a half years. As engineer there his work consisted principally of calculating stresses and required sections and making drawings for steel superstructures of railroad bridges. After designing, with the Michigan Central, railroad bridges now standing in the United States and Canada, he designed steel skeletons for office buildings and the like during his seven years in England. Among his structures there are one of the largest hotels of London and a Carnegie library near Derby. Since returning to America, Mr. Dammond designed structures in east Pennsylvania and the New England states. He designed steel dwellers recently erected in Claremont, N. H. He also designed wholly or partly the columns, girders, and roof trusses of the new Opera House of Bangor, Maine, and in the state of Massachusetts a garage at Cambridge, a store and office building at Brockton, and the Christian Science Benevolent Building, Brooklyn.

Cully Surrenders to Police, Claiming He Slew In Self Defence When Preacher, Former Barber, Rushed at Him in Rage With Razor Drawn—Killer Used Carving Knife With Grusone Effect. (Newport News, Va., Times, Star March 1, 1920.) Passing policemen like a shadow for hours, Moses P. Cully, thirty-eight years, Moses P. Cullyhridultam that one year old, gave himself up to the police this morning and stated that he killed D. R. Magegarsburg, Negro preacher, Sunday morning in order to protect his own life. Cully says that he killed the Negro preacher following an argument in the home of Allo B. Allen, colored at 755 Twenty-first street. Besides the alleged slayer the Allea Women's husband also is implicated in the killing, it was stated a tpolco headquarters this morning. According to Culley's confession, he and Massenburg boarded in the Allon home. Early yesterday morning Culley said he was in "conference" with the Allen woman. Massenburg had had left the house a few minutes before. After he had been talking for sometime with the woman, Culley said that Massenburg rushed into the room with a razor in his hand and blood in his eyes. The Negro preacher made a slash at Culley as he backed away. Culley then said that he grabbed a kitchen table knife and saw red. He admitted that he killed the Negro preacher. Massenburg's head and throat were slashed in dozens of places and his body badly mangled by the knife. When Culley appeared in the police station this morning he evidently had suffered none from the flight. His clothes were not torn and he had no cuts on his face or body. J. Thomas Newsome, colored attorney for Culley waived examination. In the police court, and Justice Robinson ordered the case continued to the grand jury. The killing took place at 8 o'clock Sunday morning. Culley says he him meditated want to his room and then on the streets. All yesterday morning and last night he sulked in the shad ows around Attorney Newsome's home, watching the patrolman on the beat. At 3 o'clock this morning Culley got his chance. The patrolmen changed beats. He knocked on Newsome's front door and was admitted a few minutes later. While the police were on the look out for the six-foot he was safely behind the colored attorney's doors. This morning the attorney turned the alleged slayer over to the police. Attorney Newsome this morning de declared that Culley's plea is self defense. Culley had not eaten a thing since Saturday night at 10 o'clock to the time he entered the colored attorney's home. The Newsome household didn't know of Culley's presence, and the alleged murderer was given a repast from the harder, with the attorney acting as cook. Between mouth fula Culley poured out his tale and begged the colored attorney to defend him. Culley, Allen and Massenburg were at home with the Allen woman, it was stated by Attorney Newsome this morning. From Culley's statements it seems that the Negro proachor became enraged over something that he heard while listening at the keyhole of the Allen home yesterday morning. Just what Culley told the woman which so enraged the cavesdropper would not be given out this morning by either the colored attorney or Culley. The murdered preacher is a native of Sussex County and for the last six months has been conducting revival services in a small Baptist missionary church in the Jefferson Avenue park. He had lived in Newport News about four years, and at one time was owner of a barber shop at Twenty-fifth street and Jefferson avenue. Three months ago he started to take a special theological course in the Virginia Union University of Richmond. Massonburg was dressed in his preaching "clothes" when killed yes torday morning. BOARD RAISED STUDENTS REBEL Suspensions at Howard Follow "Boycott"; General Strike Threatened. Washington's first student strike is in progress. This is the statement of young men at Howard University, who claim that 300 at that institution have walked out of the dining hall and refused to eat there. So for the strike has not become general and class work has not been interrupted, President J. Stanley Durke, of the university, yesterday denied that there is or has been a strike there. The trouble is said to be due to raising the price of board from $18.50 to $22.50 per month and according to the pupils, the school dining rooms are being "boycotted." It is said several students have been suspended for their refusal to eat in the dining room, as having thereby violated the rule which makes it incumbent on students staying at the dormitories to eat in the university. Dr. Durkee said that several of the students, through a misunderstanding, had disobeyed the rule and eaten outside without consent. They were suspended pending investigation, but most of them have been reinstated, according to the presi-ident Durkee admitted that whereas there are usually 300 students in the dining hall, there are now less than 75. Students say that unless those who have been suspended are reinstated there will be a strike involving every department of the university. (Washington, D. C., Post March 8) (Washington, D.

Before you made your demand for an increase of pay for medical services, did you conscientiously weigh the general condition of the people you are to serve, with your own? 2. Did you figure out for your patrons an ordinary living after paying you the extremely high price for medical service you are now demanding? 3. Did you make this increased demand for medical services on your patrons because of your increased necessity, in comparison with their increased opportunity to pay for the same? 4. Did you demand more pay for medical services because of your increased medical efficiency? 5. Do you intend to guarantee to your patrons the very same service you are now demanding as a guarantee for your pay? 6. After a serious consideration of the very low wages paid your humble patrons in comparison to the high market, do you think your demand is in keeping with the: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you?"

We are living in an age where people say one thing and do another. Trouble is us common now among people as the air seems to be. The country is all right, but many of the people in this country are all wrong. We shall all get to heaven, if we do right, but many of us want to get there, while doing wrong. One characteristic of President Wilson is that he knows how to say he and stick to it. We are having some sunshine this week after rain and snow of the weeks preceding. Some people, who have children are happy and some people who have no children are glad. Some poole say that one woman is never a true friend to another woman and this is also true of some man. Some people pray too much and work "too little" and some other people pray "too little" and work too much. Living on this earth is all right, but getting along with some of the people that live here often makes us all wrong. --- People, who are sick with influenza want whiskey and some people, who are not sick with it want it in order to get whiskey. People who want to go to Africa is a haven of rest and independence should read the terms of the Peace Treaty that is neither more nor less than a war compromise. The man, who proposed to reduce the cost of living should "go way back, and sit down." Everything is now soaring above the stars as the result of his meddling. ```markdown ``` An undertaker can please a dead person all right, for that person has reached a condition where anything will please him, but pleasing the five ones is the question. And the undertakers know it. --- Dumb people should be very popu- ular with some married men we know. The strange part of it is that while they have an admiration for a dumb woman, these men will not marry a woman known to be dumb. --- Some ministers are much alarmed over the decadence of church attendance. Many of them preach to empty handbags, while frivolous places of amusement are crowded. It would be well to remember that in part, the officers and members of the church as are largely responsible for this condition of affairs. Young folks form their own ideas early and many of them insist upon carrying them out. When they get stalled and cannot get out, they become humble and call for the old folks, whose advice they had scorned. It is a cry of "Help from Napper's Rock." People, who would not buy a food of land while alive usually are compelled to occupy six feet of the same earth for a limited time in the North. In the South, there is so much ground going to waste, they can occupy this space for the next million years, if there be anything of them left for that period of time. --- Thousands of people will give you advice free of charge if you will only stop to listen and be advised there. A man, who has lived long enough to go over a road dozens of times is qualified to give advice to a man, who has never travelled it. People, who are older are accordingly qualified in most instances to advise persons, who are younger. The younger folks may not be willing to receive the advice, but they will "pay the price" of their lack of fore sight in the long run. Hon. William J. Bryan is outspoken in his opposition to some of the policies of President Woodrow Wilson he is in favor of ratification of the Treaty of Peace by supporting the Lodge reservations. Whether or not, he can exert enough influence at the Democratic National Convention at San Francisco to block the programme of the Wilson machine is the question. The present indications are that the Democratic Party is on the verge of a split that will make the election of the Republican nominee a foregone conclusion. FIRST MT. OLIVE NOTES.

Subscribe to The Richmond Planet THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA W. J. BRYAN WILL FIGHT THIRD WILSON TERM. President Wilson's restitution of his uncompromising determination with respect to the "heart of the league" in yesterday's letter to Senator Hitchcock sounds the issue in the approaching political campaign, presages a battle with William J. Bryan for control of the Democratic party, a struggle, which as things now stand, the President will win, and empirically his commanding position on the logical candidate to succeed himself in the White House. Within ten days if it should appear by that time certain that the logic of events is forcing Mr. Wilson to accept another nomination. William J. Bryan will take the stump against him in every part of the country on the third-term issue. Mr. Bryan's friends in Washington are authority for this statement. DEFIES POLITICAL ISSUE. In language which could not be plainer the President has appealed directly to the conscience of the American people, pitching his defense of the treaty as he brought it back from Paris upon a note of moral obligation and defining the political issue involved in it more clearly than it has been sounded before. While Mr. Wilson's letter—which rings in every vigorous paragraph like a stirring campaign slogan—was being examined yesterday, those who studied it also had in their possession formal statements from William G. McAdoo, the President's son-in-law, a Democrat who has been prominently mentioned in connection with the presidential nomination, in which he formally withdrew his name as a candidate in Michigan and Georgia. In these statements Mr. McAdoo goes much farther than he has gone horroboro in discouraging the use of his name in primary contents. To the secretary of state at Lansing he wrote: MOADOO'S EMPHATIC "NO." "I am not seeking the nomination and do not want to be made to appear as a candidate," and then he added, with what is regarded as great significance that the next Democrat in convention should be free and the delegates animated by "high purpose" to serve the country. Whether by striking coincidence or not, that very phrase was employed by the President. In withdrawing as a candidate in Michigan and Georgia Mr. McAdoo takes an additional step and expresses for the first time an opinion with respect to the convention. William J. Bryan's last appeal to Democratic senators to break from the President as published in a di patch from him to The Washington Post yesterday morning, attracted wide attention in political circles yesterday. It was obvious that Mr. Bryan watching form Florida the trend of events, and anticipating the adamant stand to be taken by the President had timed that appeal to the exact psychological moment. OPPOSED TO ARTICLE X Mr. Bryan's friends here yesterday pointed out that the Nebrankan has previously taken a stand diametrically opposed to that of the President on Article X. He has declared his objection to anything in the leag we covenant whereby American boys might be sent across the seas to fight at the command of a foreign govern ment. But Mr. Bryan is also ready to oppose the President if the third term issue, should be raised and to carry that fight to the San Francisco convention. In his Miami dispatch Mr. Bryan warned the Senators of his political faith that to make Article X a campaign issue would be suicidal. Thus Mr. Bryan's opposition to the President will be based, first, upon his unalterable objection to a third term and second, upon the conviction that if Mr. Wilson persists in making Article Xa campaign issue it will be necessary for him, the grateful beneficary of many past favors from the party to oppose the President in order to save the Democratic party. The issue between the two men is joined and there is no escape. HANDICAPPED BY PALMER Mr. Bryan is obviously handicapped at this moment by the movement in behalf of Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, now being thoroughly organized, with the apparent up proval and support of the administration. If Mr. Bryan believed that the President intended to be a candidate for a third term, his friends say he would take the stump against him at once. Mr. Palmer's candidacy is puzzling. Most politicians regard it as the answer of the Democratic organization to those hostile elements with in the party which are fighting the organization. According to this theory Mr. Palmer will hold delegates in line in such States as Georgia, Michigan and Texas and in his own State of Penn sylvania, where he is meeting with opposition. If it is should develop later on that the force of circumstance obliges the President to accept a nomination, those delegates will be in the hands of a member of his own official family and of the organization. NEBRASKAN MUST HURRY The Democratic primaries are now close at hand at that if Mr. Bryan postpones much longer his canvass for delegates it will be too late, and the President's friends will be able to elect either delegates pledged to men whose loyalty can be counted up on or uninstructed delegates hand-picked by the organization. Honce the prediction by Mr. Bryan's up porters yesterday that if it should apear that the President cannot escape becoming the standard bearer again, the Nebraskan will begin a campaign for the election of delegates pledged against a third term. Although the President has not in the least changed his position with respect to the vitality of Article X the psychology of the political situation is such that his final pronounce ment of unalterable determination to "do everything" in his power "to remove every obstacle that lies in the way of the adoption of this particular article of the covenant" came yesterday at a time when all the circumstances made it sound like an announcement of his candidacy. PALMER POSSIDLY STALKING HORSE. It is likely to be regarded in that light unless the President himself should definitely announce that he will not again be a candidate. But to make that announcement now would probably be a strategic stake of practical politics. To make that an announcement now would be to sacrifice a part of his power of leadership. That can be avoided by the candidacy of Mr. Palmer. Two factors operate against the President if it should be that he feels himself under obligation to accept another nomination. These are the prejudice against a third term and the state of his health. In his letter to Senator Hitchcock the President makes what is equivalent to a solemn pledge to the "gallant soldiers" who won the military victory of the war over Germany, to do his "utmost to fulfill he high promise for which they fought". APPEAL MUST BE AT POLLS The "utmost" which the President can do is to appeal over the heads of the Senate to the American people. The only way to do it is at the polls, for the President is in the position of a lawyer to his client, he has lost his case in the lower courts, and is hon or bound to carry it to the court of appeals. There is only one man in the world who, under normal conditions could save Article X on which the Republican Senate will not yield without reservations, which the President feels under a moral obligation not to accept. That man is Woodrow Wilson. But this is qualified by the two factors mentioned, the third-term prejudice, not only of his party but of the country; and the State of his health. Under these circumstances perhaps the President might feel that he could do his "utmost" by supporting as Democratic candidate a man who could represent the treaty issue as he represents it, yet who would not carry the burden of prejudice and physical impairment. PRINCIPAL VS. PRINCIPALS. Thus the political situation in re Democratic party hinges in the final analysis upon the President's conception of how he may best exert his "utmost" effort. As between the two men, Mr. Wilson and Mr. Palmer, the former represents a principle, the latter would represent only a principal. Mr. Wilson, might combine with the treaty another issue of transcon dent importance. He vetoed the Vol stead act and has declared in favor of light wines and beer, in connection with war-time prohibition, Mr. Palmer is a "dry." Mr. Wilson might run on a plank declaring for a reas onable interpretation of prohibition. He is bound to have a fight at San Francisco anyhow with Bryan and if he can beat Bryan for a renomination on the third-term issue he can beat him on prohibition. WETS MIGHT BAVOR THIRD TRIM. As Mr. Wilson presented his opin ion on Article X yesterday it was a clear-cut issue, easily understood by the people. There is no "twedecided and twedecided" of "interpretative reservations versus "Americanizing" reservations. Mr. Wilson has an issue that is simple and fundamental. If he became a "mild reservation list" on the barelycorn question it would be consistent with his veto or the Volunteer act. At a time like that political manoeuvre might turn out to be one of the most "utmost" things that he could do to help carry the treaty over. A whole lot of men might prefer a third team to a raging thirst. Politicians were studying the situation from this angle last night. Mr. Palmer has lost the labor vote by his hold stand for Americanism at Indianapolis and shares the national spotlight with Coolidge, of Massachusetts setta. President Wilson has never lost the labor vote. That is going to be a big favor in he coming campaign—in which the President proposes o do his utmost. (Washington, D. C. Post, March 9, 1920.)

(Continued from First Page) community is made to cover inter- moulding of the most irksome and "umilitating character" in matters which have no nexus with information in law, for if they had the rule would be applicable to all nations. The lesser peoples must hearken to injunctions of the greater states. They must likewise allow the great powers to dictate to them their legislation. For the great powers, however, this law of minorities was not written. They are above the law. Their warrant is force. In a word, force is the trump card in the future, as it was in that of the past. And M. Clemenceau's reminder to the petty states at the opening of the conference that the wielders of 12,000,000 troops are the mas- tors of the situation, was appropriate. Thus the war which was provoked by the transformation of a sol- umn treaty into a scrap of paper was concluded by the presentation of two wraps of paper and a covenant for the moral renovation of the world. Truth, justice, equity and liberty have been twilied and pressed into the ser- vice of economico-political boards."
