Upon President Wilson's inauguration Byrd was transferred to the Quartermaster's Department where he was employed as a messenger at the time of his death. Mystery surrounds the finding of Mrs. Annie Taylor, aged about seventy-five years, in a rooming house on Georgia Avenue.

The Easter music in the colored catches outstripped all previous years. There were record-breaking crowds at all the churches, and the choirs presented celebrated works both of ancient and modern composers. The choir of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church presented "The Prodigal Son." Perhaps the best rendition of Easter music was that of "The Holy City" by the choir of fifty trained voices of the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion church of which Louis Prowa is organist and preceptor. The choir showed excellent training in tone, pitch and attack given the Circles and painstaking (ports of) Mr. Brown. The chorus was most wonderfully well sustained. The singers of Miss Pearl Alexander, soprano as a feature and Miss Elizabeth Stanford, contralto, showed rare ability and skill. Other soloists were contientant James B. Lomack, tenor, and Mr. F. Myles Johnson, baritone both of whom were in fine voice. A sensation was created in educational circles by the testimony of Mr. Fountain Peyton, a prominent colorator attoy of this city, and a member of the Board of Education, before it select committee in investigating the public schools, Mr. Peyton told the committee that he had been led to infer that promotions in the colored schools have been made to reward teachers who gave testimony favorable to Assistant Superintendent Rosece C. Bruce when Mr. Bruce was under investigation. Mr. Peyton cited certain instances where moritism had played an important role, mentioning the case of "a bouncy young wildo as well as that of G. D. Houston. Other cases were listed and names mentioned to bear the testimony. Considerable laughter was evoked when Senator Harrison of Mississippi, asked if the superintendent had ever asked for the removal of Mr. Bruce, to which Mr. Peyton replied, "I don't think he has laughter and do you think it would be effective if he made such a recommendation now?" After the laughter had caused the senator said that he would ask that some question of Mr. Peyton who replied that he did not think it would be of any use for the superintendent to ask for the removal of Mr. Bruce. The question now is will Mr. Bruce be retained? Straws tell which way the wind blows. BLACKSTONE NOTES Blackstone, Va., April 7. Funeral services of Mr. Stephen C.

In Memory. In loving remembrance of our dear Gertrude Jeter Williams, who left us April 5, 1919, one year ago. "To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die." I sit alone in the hush of the night. In a home that once was so happy and bright; and bright; But tonight it is sad and drear. For here sets my dear one's vacant chair. Some may think we will soon forget her, And our wounded hearts he healed; But they will never know the sorrow That our broken hearts conceal. Her devoted mother, Julia Chiles Jeter; loving husband, Alfred A. Wil- iams, and children, James D. and Alfred C. Williams. God called her home—it was His will. But in our hearts we love her still Her memory is as dear to us today As in the hour she passed away. KILLED AT LUNDALE Wise, Va., April 6—Mr. Shaler Overstreet was killed at Lundale, W.

Her most wonderful address shall linger be remembered by all who were fortunate to hear her. Words of encouragement were given by Miss Lillian Frazier, of Richmond. The superintendent, Mr. Joseph R. Price deserves much credit for the success of the occasion. He has ev- ery reason to feel proud of the work accomplished under his supervision and his loyal workers feel proud of him as their leader.

Knights of Pythias at Peakes, Va. The Georgetown Lodge Knights of Pythias No. 159 and the Court of Calanthe No. 162 have their anniversary at the Georgetown hall March 25th, in a most unique and excellent manner, which had such a beneficial effect that the orders received several applications three days later. Never before have these orders made such an impression. The hall was packed to its fullest capacity friends coming from neighboring counties and many cities. The program which was in charge of Sir Richard Tinsley K. of R. S., assisted by Mrs. Eliza Allen R. or D., was rendered as follows: the openpam ode by the Order; scripture reading Miss Belle Thornton, singing by Order; Welcome on the part of the Courts, Mrs. Emma D. Tunstall, W. C.; response by Sir A. J. Allen; as solo, was rendered by Mrs. Nannie Weatherless; remarks by Rev. W. J. Fells; and Sir Eljhil Thompson; recitation, Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson; remarks, by Sir John Fox and Mrs. Violet Fells; recitation, Mrs. Almo Dalley; remarks, Sir A. P. Allen; remarks Mrs. Mary E. Tunstall and Sir Joseph Tinsley. The speaker was in introduced by Sir Richard Tinsley, Rev. Caster Bray preached a soun stirring sermon which was enjoyed by all who heard it. We lostListener to encourage words to the orders from Miss Vicki P. Cousins, teacher of the district school and Mrs. Jane P. Purrett, Superintendent of the Industrial Home School for Girls. The collection was held by Sir William Anderson and Mrs. E. B. Bray. $12.20 was raised. The sisters next served a most apt petizing dinner in which all took a willing part and enjoyed. Mrs. Addie Gatewood Williams spent the holidays home. Madam Williams is taking Dentistry at Howard University, Washington. THE STORY THE WEEK HAS TOLD Happenings at the Nation's Capital Andrew J. Corum, a young colored man, employed in the Post Office Department was shot and killed by a young woman companion, who it is said feared lest Corum would not marry her. She then turned the weapon on herself and later took poison. She is now reported dying at one of the local hospitals. Corum's remains were carried to Warrenton, Va., for laterment. Adough M. Byrd, who for 7 years was employed as a butler in the White House, died at his home in this city. He was born in Westmoreland County Virginia, and at the time of his death was thirty-seven years old. He entored the service at the White House during the first year of President Roosevelt's last administration and remained there in that capacity throughout Taft's incumbency. Upon President Wilson's inauguration Byrd was transferred to the Quartermaster's Department where he was employed as a messenger at the time of his death. Mystery surrounds the finding of Mrs. Annie Taylor, aged about seventy-five years, in a rooming house on Georgia Avenue. Authorities say that the woman had been dead about 3 months, and the condition of the remains was such that special officials of the Health Department had to be sent to carry the body to the street for burial. It is known that Mrs. Tayor had considerable money but no money was found in the room. The pupils of the Dunbar High School were given an opportunity to view at close range America's foremost actors, E. H. Sothern and Miss Bulla Marlowe. Mr. Sothern read several poems and Miss Marlowe read "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." Mr. and Mrs. Charles Russell were with the actors. The drive for $25,000 for the Colored Y. W. C. A. was officially closed only 14,000 of the sum desired having been raised. The committee having the affair in charge has decided to work quietly, however, for the re maining $11,000 as it will be necessary to have that sum in order to run the home for a year. It has been decided to designate one day as "Tag Day" for the purpose of raising the amount desired. Of No 189 applicants for teacherships in the District of Columbia publie schools fifty-four were colored. Those becoming eligible as a result of this examination will be given pro bationary appointments for a year. The Easter music in the colored churches outstripped all previous years. There were record-breaking crowds at all the churches, and the choirs presented celebrated works both of ancient and modern composers. The choir of the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church presented "The Prodigal Son." Perhaps the best rendition o. Easter music was that of "The Holy City" by the choir of fifty trained voices of the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion church of which Louis M. Brown is organist and preceptor. The choir showed excellent training in tone, pitch and attack given the direcest and painstaking (forts of Mr. Brown. The chorus was most wonderfully well sustained. The sing of Miss Pearl Alexander, soprano was a feature and Miss Elizabeth Stanard, contralto, showed rare ability and skill. Other soloists were Lieutenant James B. Lomack, tenor, and Mr. F. Myles Johnson, baritone both of whom were in fine voice. A sensation was created in educational circles by the testimony of Mr. Fountain Peyton, a prominent colored attor y of this city, and a member of the Board of Education, before he enate select committee investigating the public schools, Mr. Peyton told the committee that he had been led to infer that promotions in the colored schools have been made to reward teachers who gave testimony favorable to Assistant Superintendent Roscoe C. Bruce when Mr. Bruce was under investigation. Mr. Peyton cited certain instances where favoritism had played an important mention, mentioning the case of "a bouncing young widow as well as that of M. G. D. Houston. Other cases were cited and names mentioned to bear out the testimony. Considerable daughter was evoked when Senator Harrison of Mailsiappl, asked if the superintendent had ever asked for the removal of Mr. Bruce, to which Mr. Peyton replied, "I don't think he has senator and do you think it would be effective if he made such a reembondation now?" After the daughter had ceased the senator said that he would ask that same question of Mr. Peyton who replied that he did not think it would be of any use for the superintendent to ask for the removal of Mr. Bruce. The question now is will Mr. Bruce be retained? Straws tell which way the wind blows. BLACKSTONE NOTES Blackstone, Va., April 7.—Funeral services of Mr. Stephen C. Pettus were conducted at Shiloh Baptist Church by the pastor, Rev. R. W. Ashburn, on Thursday of last week.

WILL CLAIM BACK PAY Labor Advocates to Meet on Wednesday for Protest Against Expulsion. (New York Sun Herald.) (New York San Francisco) Plans to flight for reinstatement of the five expelled Socialist Assembly men and combat new legislation to root out the Socialist party in this State were laid yesterday at a meeting in the People's House, 7 East Fifteenth street of the expelled five and a committee of eight leading Socialists. "We have not decided on legal phases of the struggle yet, but we have not exhausted our resources," said a statement issued after the meeting. "We shall not rest until the Assembly chamber is again opened to every minority group that may be organized for political action." The first move decided upon was to make a formal demand upon Gov error Smith that he call a special election in the five districts now unrepresented. The expelled Assemblymen will put in claims for back pay to March 31, at $10.00 a day and $50.00 mileage a piece. Special efforts will be made to spread Socialist propaganda in the districts of all Assemblymen that voted for expulsion. A fund of $50,000 for disseminating propaganda in connection with the expulsion will be raised. Already a leaflet entitled "The Albany Arial" is in circulation, saying the expulsion was due to "the capitalistic classes." One measure under consideration is the bringing of mandamus proceedings in either State or federal courts to test the constitutionality of the Assembly action. A sub-committee was appointed yesterday to consider legal steps, for which Samuel Untermyer, in a telegram from California, offered his services. Radical labor indignation at the Socialists' expulsion will let off steam on Wednesday night in People's House, where a meeting is to be held to which they have been requested to send delegates. A statement issued yesterday said that the expulsion "has aroused the masses as they were never aroused before and this conference will speak in no uncertain tones" at the Wednesday night meet irg. A committee of seventeen representing the Central Federated Union of Manhattan and Brooklyn, has issued a call to its members to be present. On Tuesday night the committee of eight will meet again with the five ex-Assemblymen to make further plans. Members of the committee are 8. John Block, Leon A. Malkiel, Julius Cerber, W. W. Passage, Morris Berman, Max Schonboreg, Algernon Leo and Jacob Hillquilt. Their names and those of J. L. Gurgor, Jacob Axelrod 'Theresa Malkiel, Adolph Warshow, Maxwell Schmerler and Joseph A. Well appear on resolutions appealing for the $50,000 fund as also those of Samuel Orr, Samuel De Witt Louis Waldman. August Chaessena and Charles Solomon, the expelled Assemblymen. BLIND MAN KILLED BY FALL FROM ROOF. Second To Top of Apartment House For Alring. (New York Sun Herald, April 5, 1920.) Emmanuel Erkle, 28 blind lived with his wife in a small suite of rooms at 515 West 125th Street. Mr. Erkle tried to lighten his wife's burden as much as possible, and did not demand a constant guiding hand as he went about the house or to the street. His habit was to take an airing mornings on the roof of the apartment building, rather than risk the traffic of the streets and he managed to climb the stairs and get to the chair placed on the roof without assistance. Yesterday after dinner, which was somewhat later than usual because of friends dropping around for East greetings, Mr. Erkle started for the roof. His wife was busy clearing away the dishes. Mr. Erkle reached the top of the scuttle, feeling his way and his wife who was watching, saw him gain the roof without accident Whether he slipped or became con fused and turned in the wrong direction, and walked to the roof edge could not be determined but a moment later Mrs. Erkle heard a shout from the street. She ran down to find a crowd gathered about the dead body of her husband. Planets may be obtained from G. Edward Epps, 325 Plainfield Avenue Atlantic City, N.

"The voice of the majority is no roof of justice."—Schiller. We have regarded with much concern the steady disposition of the present day statesmen and diplomat to break down the legislative and constitutional bars erected by the foremost statesmen of the world as a result of centuries of experience in protecting and defending the rights of the minority as against the ruthless and autocratic exercise of authority and power by an inflamed and thoughtless majority. These restrictions and safeguards have been abured, but the resulting damage by their complete elimination is now just being realized. No class of people on the face of the globe have suffered more than the poorest people in this country by the endless exercise of power by an irresponsible majority. Hon. William J. Bryan has done more than any other individual to destroy these safe guards and he was later support on by that peerless leader, Col. Theodore Roosevelt. As a result, the trusts were attacked and nearly destroyed. Then legitimate business came in turn for its era of persecution. Then came the public press, the newspaper and publishing interests and then the railroads, the meat in stores and last came the whiskey in which saw millions of dollars their capital and products destroy without let or hindrance from any quarter. In line with this spirit of intolerance and the ruthless exercise of power came the destruction of parties and labor organizations of a certain kind. Under the plea that they were disloyal and were plotting the overthrow of the present system of government, the Industrial Workers of the World became subjects of prosecution and persecution. The socialists found their turn next and one of the ablest advocates of the principles and policies of that most organization and party was incarcerated in a Federal prison, from the cell of white' now waging a canvass for the presidency of the United States. Along the line of this some spirit of intolerance, which is the unconfined sweep of the will of the majority five Socialists duly elected members of the New York legislature have been denied the seats to which they have been legally elected. This dual is based upon the ground that the political party, to which they belong is disloyal, that its teachings and principles are inimical to our form of Government. Is the American Republic a failure? Has the mandate of law been replaced by the command of the mob, now called the majority? What redress can these men or this Party have, when the Constitution and the law provides that each legislative body shall be the judge of the eligibility and qualification of those persons elected to membership? The legislative and the judicial department of the government are co-ordinate that is equal Under this construction, the one has no more power than the other. It looks to us as though representative government is on trial, a very severe trial and that the day of reason and fair play has not dawned in this country for more than a decade. We take it' that this is the logical result of tabooing and discarding the rights and privileges of black people in this country. It has led to the tabooing and the discarding of the rights and privileges of black same Republic. The New York World fa its issue of April 4, 1920 says: The legislative lynching that took place yesterday in Albany was decided upon nearly three months ago when Speaker Sweet suspended five Socialist members of the Assembly on the ground that the platform on which they were elected "is absolutely inimical to the best interests of the State of New York and of the United States.' The hearing before the Judiciary Committee was merely a concession to form. Having set out to promote his candidacy for Governor by ex-pelling the Socialist Assemblymen in proof of his militant 100 per cent, Americanism"; Speaker Sweet was obliged to see the thing through, in spite of the protests of bar associates and of the ablest and most responsible members of his party. It is not difficult for a Speaker to carry out such a programme. He apoints the committees and is the master of legislation. No member who offends him is likely to receive much consideration on local bills, which are often the measure of his value to his constituents, and so the flat of an arbitrary Speaker easily becomes law. That is what happened at Albany and by the irony of fate Mr. Sweet's programme was consummated on All Fool's Day. This is drastic language but the New York World, one of the most influential journals in the United States is responsible for the use of it. It continues: The Constitution of the United States guarantees to every State "a republican form of government." That form of government has ceased for the time being to exist in New York. There can be no republican form of government when minority parties are arbitrarily outlawed, when representation is denied, when legally elected and legally qualified members of the Legislature are expelled because their political principles are offensive to the majority, when whole constitunencies are arbitrary disfranchised because they refuse to vote the way somebody else thinks they ought to vote. The Constitution of the United States does guarantee to every State a Republican form of government, but this guarantee has been nullified in practically every southern State for more than a decade. This nation could not exist one half slave and the other half free and it cannot exist one half disfranchised and the other half enfranchised. In the language of the New York Word "That form of government has ceased for the time being to exist in" other States than New York. There can be no Republican form of government in any State, North or South when minority parties are arbitrarily outawed, when representation is denied. Colored people and white people have been the victims of just this kind of treatment. It occurred in the southern States in "yesterday." It is occurring in northern ones "today." What are you going to do about it? The New York World says further: This is the negation of republican government in effect it sets up the principle that minorities have no rights that majorities have bound to respect, that all constitutional grievances are denied to them and that they must resort to violence for the promotion of their political beliefs and for the redress of their grievances. Even the Kaiser never went as far. Sweet has gone. Even the Prussian Junkors were never able to throw the German Socialists out of the Reichstag. The action of the Assembly makes the re-establishment of representative government the vital concern of every man and woman in New York who believes in American institutions and is determined to maintain them. Under the law there will be no special elections to which the expelled Assemblymen can appeal, but there will be a general election in the fall, and so far as The World is concerned it intends to support these Assemblymen for re-election. During all the years of its existence this newspaper has been uncompromisingly opposed to Socialism both in theory and in practice; it remains uncompromisingly opposed to Socialism both in theory and in practice; but the political and economic beliefs of those five men have now become of no importance in relation to the vital issue that is raised by their exclusion. If the people of New York are to retain their free institutions, if they are not to be Russianized by their stupid politicians, their first concern must be the restoration of representative government which was overthrown yesterday in Albany by the Assembly. This is a ringing call to duty. The New York World has taken high ground and no justice loving citizen of color can fall to heed its appeal. Right here in Richmond, colored American citizens are being barred from participating in Republi can "primaries" by so-called Republi can white leaders and from the democratic primaries by white Democratic leaders. They are strangers in midst of their home folks so far as politics is concerned. The present system of representative govern ment is a sham. Under pretense of religion, atheists have secured posses ion and are profaning the Temple of Justice. It may be that the American people will awaken to the dangers that now threaten and that before it is too late right principles may be ascendant again in the land. Do not lose faith in God, colored folks. There have been worse times We have never supported or espoused the principles of socialism but we have always championed human rights and that is why we oppose the ousting of the socialists THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. from the New York Assembly by the majority of its members, when such expulsion is based upon such frivolous grounds as those set forth in the act of expulsion. Minorities have some rights. --- Right principles are having a hard time of it in this country at the present time. There are good white folks and there are bad white folks just as there are good colored folks and bad colored folks. 80ANOKE NEWS 80ANOKE NEWS ROANOKE, VA., April 6—Rev. W. D, Woods, D.

They had as their guest, the Oak Hill Sunday School and they left carrying the flag that they had won the victory.

Adams, of Portsmouth, Va., spent a few hours in our town last Tuesday TEUTON CITIES ARE HELD BY GENERAL DEGOUTTE. Frankfort-on-Main, April 6.—This ancient Kaisersstadt rail junction, financial center and birthplace of Goethe passed into the hands of French Honegaleseg Negr troops at 5 o'clock this morning with out bloodshed or disorder. At the same time General Dagoutte, commander of the French Rhine army, occupied Darmstadt, capital of the former grand duchy of Hesse and a number of smaller intermediate towns. All will be held until the German government troops sent into the revolt-ridden industrial sections of West phalia have cleared out. The Tricolor flutters from the ancient town hall of Frankfort, recalling the days of the Napoleonic invasion. The historic Roemermarkt (Roman market.) where, in 1806 Napoleon's troops leveled the gates that fenced in the famous ghetto, swarms today with French colonial troops, seasoned veterans of the great war and under the iron discipline ingrained by their idol, Degoutee, who has spent the great part of his military career handling black fighters and who first won fame as commander of the Moroccan division. GERMAN TROOPS WITHDRAW Upon the first flash that the French were coming, the garrison commander of the Reichswehr troops both here and in Darmstadt received orders from Berlin to withdraw their troops immediately ten kilometers (more than six miles) outside the city limits. The French found only municipal police. Thus there was no resistance of any kind. Immediately after entering General Degoutte issued a proclamation declaring martial law. He announced the purpose of the occupation was to exact the guarantee provided for in the peace treaty and assured the populace his troops would be with drawn as soon as the German government troops had evacuated the Rühr region. The only incident in the occupation of North Frankfurt by the French consisted of a few shots fired. According to reports by aviators, German gun detachments fired two or three shells on a French cavalry patrol be fore which detachments of the Rolch swear and the security police were retiring. The latter, although knowing yesterday that occupation had been decided on refused to believe it would be carried out one of the officers saying that the British would not let the French come in. At Darmstadt the reception of French troops was almost cordial, and the population at Frankfort was inclined to be friendly to the French. The bulk of Frankfort's 300,000 inhabitants were dumfounded to find their city in French hands when they awoke this morning. The occupation went off smoothly and was complete at 8 o'clock. The bulk of the invaders came by rail, arriving at the Central Railroad Station one of the biggest in Europe. In front of the main entrance to the station are a number of French tanks. The station is filled with Negro troops. ENTER CITY IN EARLY MORNING Ordered forward by Marshal Foch French troops entered Frankfurt at 5 o'clock this morning, finding only a small German force of Sleicherbortswir, left there to afford protection for the people. These troops surrendered and were disarmed. The occupation of the city was a mere military march and was not at tended by any fighting. Darmstadt was entered shortly afterward by the French forces. The German government garrison of that city had left at midnight to avoid contact with the French and this morning was six miles east of the city. With the cavalry in the lead, followed by the infantry and the artillery, the occupying forces pressed rapidly beyond the city. They met with no opposition. By 10 o'clock in the morning the cavalry had reached Eckenheim (three miles north of Frankfort.) The occupation takes the form of an extension of the French lines around the bridge head of Mayenne a distance of about eighteen miles. The extreme limits of the advance form a semi-circle similar to, but larger than, the original zone of occupation. The French occupying force is he between 15,000 and 18,000 composed largely of cavalry with detachments of infantry for occupation of the various centers and artillery merely as a precautionary measure. --- VIRGINIA—In the Clerk's Office of the Circuit Court of Chesterfield County, March 25th, 1920.

WHAT CHEER SALES COMPANY 113 Oxford St. Philadelphia, Pa. SATURDAY.....APRIL 10, 1920 THE PAINFUL TRUTH. This painful truth burned into the useless, suffering soul of the philosopher, breeds a contempt for man-made punitive law or justice. The solution of man upon a ball of matter whirling through space, coming from whence we know not, and whither bound, (who shall say) should in all, and does in the great,get fortitude and forbearance, a city vast as heaven and breeds with his soul a charity, a pity vast as heaven and breeds within his soul a charity, which suffers long and is kind. For these strong hearted and consigliged teachers, having passed through the school of sorrow where s born all of life's beauty, and "stamping as it were upon the mountains of thought and looking over life's shadowy ocean of unrest have beheld the loom of land with its living gleam of rusting, woods and glint of laughing waters." BEARNED IN THE DEPTUS For lessons are learned in the depths, which could never be learned in the heights, though we soar to heaven and listen entrance, while Michael sings tenor to Gabriel's bass, "Thou shalt not," flung down not from heaven, but from Sinai's flaming crest amid the thunders of the law of a barbarous code, engraved up on stone to force into decency a stiff necked generation of slaves, crouching beneath the Egyptian hash, will never raise to the sun-lit heights of purity and plenitude of power this nation, which has inherited its love of liberty from forbearers, who were saved at white breasts, for a thousand years across the sea. MAN'S PARDONING LOVE Not the negative, but only the active, stupendous power of man's parental love, aided and abetted by a natural and scientific system of taxation is equal to this amazing and stagnant task. Association In, and with equality of taxation is Jeffersonian democracy, and the law of procreation, sanctioned by Jesus. No man born of woman and crushed beneath the iron heel of man-made law, out of harmony with natural law, ever knowingly pursued and grasped the bad, when the good was within his reach. To say that he does, is to deny his divinity, debase him below the beast, and quench forever his hopes and aspirations. THE MAXIMS OF PERFECTION The maxims of perfection taught by Jesus were directed, not to the individual, (for it is impossible for the individual to reach perfection under a code of laws, the antithesis of justice, the supreme law) but to society, and while he never falls to conquer with his pardoning love the sins of the individual against society, he wove, a scorpion whip of rhetoric, and hasked naked through the streets; the leaders of the church and State for the sins of society against the individual. THE CUMMINGS TRAGEDY AS IT WAS RELEASED TO THE JURY Mrs. Cumming, who you had never seen, in three minutes heard the story of her Life and told you she was going to shoot Mr. Cumming, said Mr. Byrd in summing up the colored woman's testimony. In ques- tioning the woman, the attorney said: "No one but a crazy person would do what you say Mrs. Cumming did." TALIAFERRO ON STAND. W. C. L. Taliaferro, city attorney of Hampton, college mate and friend of Mr. Cumming, was the next wifes. He resented Mr. Byrd's statement that it was necessary to question him to show bias. "I want to state that I am a friend to both Mrs. Cumming and the boy," he said. "So you thought you were doing her a kindness when you got her to sign a pre-uptal paper giving up all rights in her husband except $5 a week allmoney? You thought it was wrong for the wife to ask her husband for money and right for him to refuse it?" Byrd asked. Mr. Taliafero went fully into his dealings with both Mr. Cumming and Mrs. Cumming. He said he often went to Cumming for money at Mrs. Cumming's request. He also testified that Mrs. Cumming had threatened to kill the man who divorced her. "But I paid little attention to the threats. He seldom knew her mind from one minute to the next," Mrs. Cumming stated before the marriage that she did not want to live with Cumming, that she would not live with him. She did not want all alimony at first. This was put in as an afterthought. I often advised her to let Gordon Cumming alone. Had she done so he would have done more for her and the child. The pre-naptual agreement idea was hers and Mrs. Ward's (Mrs. Ward was representative of a children's hospital and home in Norfolk). This statement led Mr. Bryd to closely question the witness. By dint of many questions he got Mr. Tallatero to admit that it probably was his idea that the agreement be put in writing. He later contradicted this statement. How ever, said he, "I knew that we were sitting on thin ice, but I thought we were doing the best thing for all parties concerned." TELLS WHOLE STORY Mr. Byrd dismissed the witness here but he requested permission to tell the full story, which was granted. He said that Mrs. Cumming signed the agreement on advice of her father and brother. Miss Elsie K. Lindsay, Cumming's scenographer, testified that she had voice heard Mrs. Cumming threaten to kill Cumming. Mayor Thomas L. Schater of Hampston, referred to by Mr. Byrd as "His Honor the Lord Mayor of Hampton," was handled by counsel for the accused without gloves. The Mayor was accused by the attorney with saying to Mrs. Cumming, "Why don't you hit him alone and get money from your other man." The Mayor denied this, saying he had told Mrs. Cumming to go and get married again. "So you wanted her to get married when she already had a husband?" Byrd asked. "No, I thought she had a divorce." Here counsel for the accused took Mr. Schater to task on a charge, not taking into consideration the fact that every one is allowed one hour in which to appeal a divorce decision. LENIENT WITH MRS. CUMMING. The Mayor said he thought he had been very lenient with Mrs. Cumming. Counsel for the accused asked if he was lenient when he had her thrown into jail for four days and let Cumming take the child. Witness said he did not let Cumming take the child. "Didn't you have her put in jail because she said she'd kill you both when you insulted her?" Byrd asked. I'm not afraid of her and never have been the Mayor said. DEFENSE HAS INNING Miss Lois Jester sister of Mrs. Cumming, first witness for defense of the time Mr. Cumming came to the Jester home and choked Mrs. Cumming. She said she, Mrs. Cumming, Cumming and the child went to Norfolk in 1917. In his opening address to the jury this afternoon, Richard Evelyn Byrd counsel for Mrs. Cumming spoke in port as follows: BYRD'S OPENING STATEMENT "Mr. Cumming was in this community a powerful, dominating and outstanding figure in all matters relating to the administration of law. To her, at least, if seemed to be in his own person either above or beyond the law. "He frequently boasted to his wife that he controlled the courts at Hampen. He told her that it was no use for her to struggle that if she continued to annoy him by asking for money he would put her in jail again and keep her there and would take her boy and send him out of the State. She believed all this. Why not? He had sent her to jail he had taken her boy; he had gotten an injunction from the court restraining her from even speaking to him; he had procured a divorce from her in the Circuit Court of Elizabeth City County without any provision for her support, and when she tried to get a lawyer to appeal her case she could not obtain one until long effort she found a lawyer in a distant lofty who was willing to present her cause to the Supreme Court of his SState. Is there any wonder that there came over this woman a sense of helplessness and despair? That she felt herself deserted by God and man? That for her, at least, there was no law, no justice, no compassion in this world? SUFFERED COLD AND HUNGER "During all this time when she was suffering from cold, from actual pangs of hunger, from overy conceivable injury to the most sacred feelings of a woman, a wife and a mother, she knew that her husband had intimate relations with other women and was spending large sums of money on them while she and her son were suffering for the bare necessities of life. "You will say to yourselves how can these things happen in a Chris land, in a land ordered by law where the weak are supposed to have equal rights with the strong. I will tell you how it came about." "When the marriage took place in March, 1914 one of the so-called pre marriage contracts provided that Mrs. Cumming should name a lawyer and empower this lawyer to bring a suit for divorce against Mr. Cumming on the ground of desertion. This the lawyer did in May 1914. In its suit, filed in the name of Mrs. Cumming, he did not ask for any support for the child. When Mrs. Cumming became aware of the nature of the proceedings, she refused to go further with the suit. Thereupon, Mr. Cumming filed what is in law called a cross bill, but which was in fact, a suit by him against Mrs. Cumming asking the court to grant him a divorce against Mrs. Cummin go the ground that she had deserted him. COURT GIVES HUSBAND DIVORCE "Nevertheless, the judge of this court, on the 20th day of February, 1518 pronounced a decree of absolute divorce against the wife and in tax THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA or of the husband. The Judge further held that the so-called ante-marriage contract, which provided that Mrs. Cumming should have $5.00 a week from the 18th of March 1914, until September 18, 1914 was valid and that Mrs. Cumming was not entitled to any further support. No provision was made in the decree for the support of the little boy, but the decree reserved the right to dispose of the custody of the boy at some time in the future. "Mrs. Cumming felt in her heart that this was an unjust decree. She was an unlettered woman dealing with shrewd lawyers. She was an unmarried woman with a child. She would have signed any paper to be come the wife of the father of her child, and give her child a name. "I have told you if the great difficulty of getting a lawyer. Under the Virginia law an appeal must be granted from the decree of a lower court within a year of the date of such decree, or the decree becomes final and cannot thereafter he ret aside. "Under conditions of great difficulty, the lawyer, whom she finally succeeded in getting, obtained a copy of the record for presentation to the Supreme Court. Her relations for this purpose raised $80. When the appeal was allowed the Supreme Court required Mr. Cumming to pay the cost of printing the record. This appeal was granted in February, 1919 and a decision was handed down on the 18th of March, 1920, the sixth annuary of that fated marriage. This appeal was as to every matter of content decided in favor of Mrs. Cumming. SUPREME COURT RIGHTED WRONGS "The Supreme Court, by a unanimous decision, explained by a luminous opinion of Judge Sims, declared: (1) That no man could make the nonsupport of his wife a condition of his marriage and that the cruel contract limiting the obligation of Mr. Cumming to the sum of $130, payable in $5 weekly installments, was null and void and contrary to public policy and that the Circuit Court of Elizabeth City County erred in holding that such contract was legal and blinding. (2) That the Circuit Court of Elizabeth City County erred in holding that Mrs. Cumming had no interest in the estate of her husband. (3) That the Circuit Court of Elizabeth City County erred in refusing to grant Mrs. Cumming alimony for the support of herself and her child. (4) That the Circuit Court of Elizabeth City County erred in granting to S. Gordon Cumming a divorce from his wife, Mittle Ann Cumming because S. Gordon Cumming and not his wife, was in the wrong. (5) That Mrs. Cumming had the right to demand money from her husband for support of herself and their child. WAS HIS LAWFUL WIFE You will now hear in mind, gentle even of the jury, and you will carry this thought through this whole case that from her marriage in March, 1914 until the day of his death, Mrs. Cumming was the lawful wife of S. Gordon Cumming. She had a legal and moral right to be supported by .jim. She was violating no law when he asked him for this support and it was a cruel and brutal thing to jail her when she asked her husband for bread to put in her baby's mouth. The long wait—more than a year from the granting of the appeal by the Supreme Court until the decision—was a time of great suffering for Mrs. Cumming. The public not knowing the facts, only knew that the circuit court had given Mr. Cumming a divorce and refused to require him to support her. People naturally jumped to the conclusion that no judge would do such a thing unless there was some misconduct on her part. False stories had been circulated by Mr. Cumming and some of his friends concerning her character. ASK BREAD AND GOT JAIL On one occasion when she had gone to Mr. Cumming's office to ask her husband for some money to buy food with, he ordered the Mayor of Hampon, Tom Strother, to take her to take her to jail. Mr. Strother took her to his office and prepared a warant. While there, Mr. Strother said to Mrs. Cumming: "Why don't you stop asking Mr. Cumming for money and get money from the man that keeps you?" Mrs. Cumming replied: "If I had a pistol I would shoot you to that." Whereupon his honor jailed her for three days and they tore from her the boy who was clinging to her skirts and sent him away. It seems to me that this woman was kept in the position of a frightened and hunted animal. She had that look in her eyes when I first saw her. She has it now. Even when I took her case I think she had little faith or confidence in the outcome. I did not blame her. To her law and justice were morely phrases—high-sounding words of no substance or reality. As a matter of fact, it appeared to her that the sword of the law was in the hands of her husband as he himself frequently boasted and that this sword was being used for her own destruction. FATEFUL DAY OF TRAGEDY During the afternoon of Saturday, the 7, she went to the churchyard to see the flowers upon the grave of a gentleman who had just been buried. In that place of graves, she met her husband. He was not softened by the presence of death. He looked at her and her boy—his boy—and refused Hertung Zehn für eine Siberian Goldstück Piederwallstr 10.

At Fort Sherikan Hospital as well as other points the boys are taking courses in vocational training so that when they are discharged they will be able to support themselves. This soldier is taking an art course. to speak. He turned on his heels and went away. Mrs. Cunningham turned to a companion, Miss Messick and said: 'You don't know how that hurt me! Even after all these years of brutality the man she loved still had the power to hurt her. She went home in a sort of daze. It was Saturday. She had a cents in her pocket. She then thought of trying to get something to eat. She remembered afterwards that she had a little money, some cents hidden in a drawer, but in her condition of mind she overlooked it. There was a revolver bound her by a friend which she had had for a long time. She had gotten' it for protection because the neighborhood she was then in was not very safe for a lone woman. LAST DAY BEFORE KILLING On this afternoon she must have put, this revolver in her purse, though she has no very clear recollection of it. She went to her husband's office and met him coming down the stairs—with a gentleman. Mi. Cumming went up the street and the gentleman went across the street. She asked her husband for some money and he repulsed her angrily. She said to him: "Oh, but I must have some money; I need it so." He turned on her and said with brutal emphasis: "If you ask me there, Mrs. Cumming says that when again for money I will put you in tail, and this time I will keep you he said that something in her brain seemed to snap. She remembers not nig until she saw him lying upon the ground. Gentlemen of the jury, I have asaturated as I can and as frankly as I can given you the facts of the long tragedy of this woman's life. I will contend upon impregnable proof that when she fired the shots and took the life of S. Gordon Cumming she was absolutely irresponsible, and has violated no law, human or divine.

SOLDIER CORDON GUARDED CITY OF DUBLIN, IRELAND, Military Precautions Against Easte uprising Exceed Those of 1915. Troops Setze Schools and Vacant Houses—Place Barbed Wire in Roads. Dublin, April 3.—The military precautions in Dublin exceed anything of the kind seen since Easter, 1915. Particular attention is being paid by the military cordon around the city to loads of hay, which are probed by bayonets, while even the suburban street cails are stopped and the pas sengers searched for arms. At Fingalas, on the north side of the city, the military have taken possession of some unoccupied houses and appear to contemplate a stay for a few days. St. Enda's College, at Rathfarnham, formerly, conducted by Patrick Pearse who was executed during the rebellion of 1916 is also occupied by soldiers. They have erected a barricade with barbed wire in the reads outside of Cullenwood House in Ranelach, where Pearse's mother lives and the children's school kept by Miss Duffy sister of George Caven Duffy, who was identified with the deense of Sir Roger Casement and Slim Fee representatives at Paris. The residence of Miss Humphrey sister of "The O'Reilly," who was killed in the street fighting at the time of the rebellion was searched and Mrs. Humphrey's son-in-law, a student was arrested. An armored car is stationed at the entrance to Kingstown pler to reinforce the military guard there. Soldiers unloaded fresh supplies of ammunition at Northwall and conveyed it in motor cars, protected by armored cars, through the city. Despatches from various parts of the country indicate a similar state of affairs at Derry, Tipperary, Newry, Limerick and other places. The Freeman's Journal publishes a significant article headed "Peaceful Eastertide," in which it says: "Let the young men of Ireland remember that the main chance the enemy has to complete his triumph of destroying the Irish is summed up in the sinister and savage advice which is going the round of the clubs of the militarists and die-hards: 'Get them into the streets.' The paper appeals to the people for restraint and self control. The feeling in Cork, it is understood is so embittered by the murder of Lord Mayor Macecurtain that anything may happen there. But so far as Dublin is concerned it is believed that Viscount French, the Viceroy, will have to report as did Lord Wim borne a couple of years ago on the occasion of a similar scare, "Not a dog barked." CATTLE DRIVING SWEeps IRELAND. Police Powerless as Galway and Mayor Are Cleared. London, April 3. "Cattle driving" on a large scale occupied Galway and County Mayor today, according to news agency despatches received in London. At least 1,800 men took part the drive in Galway sweeping from Creggs to Castleblakeney and Roscommon on one side and to Dummore on the other. Thousands of acres were cleared the police being powerless to check the drive. There were three drives in County Mayo where the grazers were help less. The police, who have been augmented, and the military are helping to collect the cattle. Some arrests have been made. Reports from many parts of Ireland indicate that the Government is taking no chances of a possible maternalization of the rumored Sinn Fein plot for an Easter revolution. Londonerry, Dublin and other places, the reports said, were the centre of extreme military activity a stringent watch being maintained and all travellers searched and iden tified. Elaborate preparations are being made to handle any possible untoward situation. Thus, far, however, all newspaper reports from Ireland de clare there is no Sinu Fein plot and that no uprising is expected. The appointment of Sir Hamar Greenwood as Chief Secretary for Ireland is generally approved by the London newspapers which comment that Six Hamar shows characteristic courage. The London Times says he can have little experience with Irish affairs as he was not appointed to the large Cabinet committee which drafted the home rule bill. The Daily Telegraph reviews the new Irish Secretary's Parliamentary record as being favorable to his as sumption of the post. It remarks that he is a Canadian by birth and in sympathy with Canadian principles of self-government. The Morning Post declares that only Arthur J. Balfour and Walter Humel Long emerged unbroken from the Chief Secretary ship for Ireland "Both of them succeeded because they refused to tolerate sedition or permit crime and in so refusing were supported by the Government" the Post says.

HAS BEEN ESTABLISHING A RECORD FOR PROMPT PAYMENT OF SICK, ACCIDENT AND DEATH CLAIMS, and has never resorted to any system or methods of evasion of claim paying during Epidemics. During the Epidemic of "Flu" in October and November, 1918, and February and March, 1920, the Society paid every claim for sickness, accidents and death, the day the same was due; all death claims received were put in the mails for return to Districts for adjustments with beneficiaries, within three hours from time they were received at home office, except in those cases requiring qualifications of guardians, etc. Sickness and Accident Claims were paid by Superintendents and Agents with greater zeal than ever, their purpose being to maintain the standard of excellence of SOUTHERN AID SERVICE already established. Every Superintendent and Agent of this Society has positive instructions to pay all claims the day the same are due. The claims paid in October and November, 1918; and February and March, 1920, are shown for comparison. The Society stands for Perpetual and Prompt Payment of Claims.

To Whom It May Concern: I am indeed glad of the opportunity to write a word in regards to this worthy and reliable Company—The Southern Aid Society of Virginia. All of my family are members of it, and whenever sick they have met their obligations promptly, faithfully and courteously. I have been sick and disabled now for more than two years, and it has been the same in this case. Their representatives always seem happy when meeting their obligations, which causes a sick person to realize that a friend in need is a friend indeed. When one is disabled and receives that which was promised us when we joined and without unnecessary trouble, it is very beneficial. May they ever continue to prosper, and may God bless them, and bring them much success, that they may continue to do good is the sincere wish and prayer of one who is interested.
