C., Nov. 4.—A delegation of the National Equal Rights League had an audience with President Harding at the White House office at 12 o'clock today for speeding up action by the U. S. Senate on the Dyer Anti Lynchning Bill. The audience had been arranged through Senator U. C. Lodge of Massachusetts, and lasted about 30 minutes. The delegation consisted of Wm. Monroe Trotter, a citizen of Massachusetts; M. W. Spencer of Delaware; J. L. Nell of Tennessee; Reverend E. A. Abbott of New York; Rev. W. O. Carrington of North Carolina; Rev. J. L. Pinn of New York; T. A. Johnson of Georgia; J. L. Taylor of Alabama; H. P. S. sanger, of Kentucky; Editor of the Old Follows Journal, with Trotter as spokesman. Mr. Trotter explained the mission to be that of urging the President to use the powers prestige and influence of his position and of his personality to speed up actual enactment of the Dyer Anti-Lenching Bill by the United States Senate especially in connection with the contemplated extraordinary session this month, as it was a remedy for mob-murders and these were continuing at the average rate of one each week. He then presented a petition with 10,000 signatures from nearly 30 States, asking the President to name the Bill in his call for the extra session. The first petition was from the President's home town, Marion Ohio; one was from Omaha, Nebraska; one from members of the 24th U. S. Infantry at Fort Bening, Ga., several from Georgia, Mississippi, Alabama, etc. Each member of the delegation briefly urged the need of Executive aid and pressure to hasten action by making the Dyer Bill major and emergency legislation, to be taken up first at the extra session and considered continuously. Delegate Taylor reminded the President that this bill would help the white as well as the colored Americans. The President heard the delegates attentively and expressed himself as in sympathy with the cause presented as he said he had always been. --- ELLIJAH RUNNELS AWARDED CARNEGIE HERO MEDAL (Preston News Service) Pittsburgh Pa., Nov. 9.—Dr. J. W Holland for almost 19 years connected with the Carnegie Hero Fund Commission was elected president by unanimous vote last Friday afternoon. Among those being awarded posthumous medals for conspicuous service was Elijah Runnels, aged 21 years of Ferris, Texas. Runnels died in the attempt to save the life of his employer, a farmer, from drowning when the latter slipped from a levee and was carried down stream. The employer likewise lost his life. The ages of the various heroes ranged from twelve to forty-eight. Practically all represented were workingmen, school children or stenographers. Asks President Hard Senator Shields to The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today made public a protest to President harding against the proposed appointment to the Supreme Court of Senator John K. Shields of Tennessee. The protest is based upon remarks alleged to have been made by Senator Shields, disclosing gross prejudice against the Negro race such as would unfit him for the office of Supreme Court Justice. The protest to President Harding is as follows: "The rumor that Senator John K. Shields of Tennessee might be appointed to fill a vacancy in the United States Supreme Court is seriously disquieting those Americans, both white and colored, whose hope is in better relations between the races in this country. "Senator Shields is charged by Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch with having given utterance to sentiments that clearly indicate his unfitness for the office of Supreme Court Justice, as in COLORED PUPILS EXCEEDED WHITE IN YORK SCHOOLS. York, S. C., Nov. 4—There are now 21 more colored children in the public schools of York Co. than there are white children according to the annual report of John E. Carroll, County Superintendent of Education. Three years ago there were 1,000 more colored than white, but the adoption of the compulsory education laws by the State has forced many whites to go to school. PORTO RICANS WANT GOVERNOR REMOVED Washington, D. C., Nov. 2. The citizens of Porto Rico want President Harding to remove E. Mont Reilly as governor of Porto Rico. Several efforts have been made to induce President to remove him, but all indications point to failure on their part to convince him that Mr. Refilly is a menace to welfare and prosperity of the island government. Hon. Cayetano Coll Cushi, speaker of the House of Representatives on Porto Rico, held a conference with President Harding last Thursday. He told newspaper men that he felt that Mr. Reilly had the full confidence of the President and would not be removed. GIRL SAYS MOTHER SOLD HES TO MAN. (Preston News Service) Clearfield, Pa. Nov. 10—Miss Nora Moore, aged 17 years, of Philadelphia who was found tied to the Pennsylvania railroad tracks near Woodland Lake on Wednesday night, recovered consciousness and told authorities that her mother had sold her to a white man who brought her to Clearfield. "He gave me something to drink—and that's all I remember" sobbed the girl. She told the sheriff that she did not know the man's name, but believed that she could identify him. Officials have started an investigation to locate the girl's mother with the hope of finding the man in the case. According to Charles Gillandh, who found the girl tied to the tracks, she was found just a few minutes before a Pennsylvania passenger train was due to pass. He declared that the victim's legs and arms were bound and the ropes were attached to the rails. ing Not to Appoint Supreme Court Bench deed they are unworthy of a United States Senator. "In the New York Call of October 28 Senator Shields is quoted by Mr. Blatch as being opposed to giving the ballot to "Nigger Women" and as stating: "You see, we couldn't treat the wenches as we do the men; we just club the niggers if they come to the polls." "It is almost unnecessary to point out that a confessed violator of the U. S. Constitution and one who speaks of its violation in terms of rufianny approval, could only increase disrespect for law and government in the United Supreme Court, as he has already done in the United States Senate. "The National Association deems it its duty to call these facts most respectfully to your attention." "Very truly yours. (Signed) MARY WHITE OVINGTON Chairman of the Board of Directors.

IS LOSE YWHERE. nches of Con- tes Democrat- vides Honors, Governor and a But little interest was taken in the election in this city and State. The total vote polled in this city was 5,739. When it is understood that in the gubernatorial election last year, the colored candidates polled more than half of this number, the situation will be read by uncle and appreciated. Senator Claude A. Swanson polled 5,265 and J. Williamson McGavock Lily White Republican. 356. Mutt N. Lewis polled 167. The latter represented the colored Republican organization George C. Peery. Democrat of Tazewell county defeated J. H. Hassinger, Republican by a plurality of over 3,000. The Seventh District is claimed by the Democrats by over 5,000. This is a signal defeat for Hon. John Paul, Lily White Republican. LATEST RETURNS. The latest returns indicate that the Republicans retain control of both branches of Congress. At the worst, the Democrats will not have a majority. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, admittedly, the ablest statesman in the United States Senate narrowly escaped defeat, his plurality being reduced to about 8,000. His opponent in the Republican primaries after being defeated disregarded his party plea and did all that he could to defeat his successful antagonist. The Democrats elected the Governor in Ohio, but the Republican candidate for the United States Senate won out. New York State seems to have re-elected a Republican legislature, but defeated Gov Nathan L. Miller, Ex-Gov. Alfred E. Smith. Democrat was elected by a plurality of over 400,000. WOMAN MEMBER DEFEATED His heavy vote in New York city and the failure of Republicans upstate to vote led to the Republican Governor's defeat. Miss Alice Robertson, the only woman member of Congress was defeated in Oklahoma, a Democrat securing the borough New Jersey elected a Democratic United States Senator and Gov. A. I. Edwards, the outspoken wet candidate was successful in his race for the United States Senate. Pennsylvania gave its accustomed Republican majority and Illinois did the same thing, while Iowa sent a solid Republican delegation to Congress. The brother of Hon. William J. Bryan was elected Governor of Nebraska. His name is Charles W. Bryan, while a Republican defeated Hon. G. K. Hitecock in the race for the United States Senate. OTHER INFORMATION Michigan defeated Senator Townsend, Republican for the United States Senate and elected the other Republican officials. Connecticut went Republican, while Rhode Island went Democratic. Massachusetts elected a Republican Governor. A. Lincoln Moore, Jr. Passes Away. A. Lincoln Moore, Jr., died at his home in Richmond or the thirtieth of October, 1922. The deceased was a native of Charlotte County, but had resided in Richmond for nearly half a century. Quiet, unassuming and industrious he was a steady and consistent friend whose friendship was of the most genuine. His father, Mr. A. Lincoln Moore Sr., was one of the few colored men who held positions of free over-seers over large groups of slaves before the Civil War and belonged to a line of colored Virginians that traces its splendid untarnished record back for centuries. In 1873 Mr. Moore was married to Miss Madeline Lawson who survives as his widow. With her he leaves to mourn their loss, three children, Mrs. Lillie Matthews of New York City; M. E. Moore and Prof. J. E. J. Moore of Buena Vista Va., also five grand-children and five great grand-children with one brother, Mr. Edward Moore of Richmond and one sister, Mrs. Lettie Hodges of Drakes Branch.

TWO Constantinople. Nov. 5.—The Nationalist Government is in control of Constantinople. Rafet Pasha is the new Governor, and Hamid Bey the representative of the Angora Government, has ordered the allied troops out. In a note to the Entente he demands evacuation of the allied forces. The Turks have torn up the Mudana armistice convention and are advancing into the Chanak area occupied by the British and other neutral zones. The Kemalists have set up an administration at Berjaz. Rafet Pasha sprang the news of the change in Government in a dramatic manner on the allied generals. The generals had summoned Rafet to discuss the question of the admission of Kemalist gendarmes to the Gallipoli and Chanak zones. At the termination of the discussion. Rafet, as by way of an afterthought, broke the startling news thus: "I must inform your Excellency that since noon the Constantinople Government no longer exists, and I have asumed the Governorship." FEAR MASSAGRE In the fear of possible untoward events the Allied High Commissioners have telegraphed their respective Governments for instructions. The consternation of the Christian population is beyond description. Frequently there is to be heard the statement: "The Turks will massacre the Christians." The Sultan's Ministry resigned Saturday evening and Rafet Pasha assume power. He issued a manifesto to day which declared that from noon on November 4 the administration of the Great National Assembly of Turkey is established in Constantinople. The manifesto announced that the Sultan's position has been clearly defined by the decision of the National Assembly and that the rights of the citizens are absolutely safeguarded by the laws of the great National Asssembly of Turkey. In celebration of the change in Government masses of excited Turks have been engaged in disorders. Students marched against the Palace and riotous mobs engaged in such manifestations that it became necessary for the allied police to fire on them, several of the Turks being killed or wounded. Thero seemed danger for a time that the radical forces would gain the upper or band. The Sultan was denounced, together with monarchy, and Mustapha Kemal Pasha was acclaimed as "our president." It became necessary to throw guards of troops around the Sultan's palace within which Mohammed VI, now Caliph only, is spending fearful hours. The Christians in the Stamboul quarter throughout Saturday night were seeking shelter and protection from what they openly feared—a Turkish massacre. Today, however, the Government au thorities issued orders that all disturb ances should be rigorously put down. The allied high commissioners accepted the new regime, and there was nothing left for the Sultan's Ministry but resignation from office. GRAND VIZIER SUBMITS Tewfik Pasha, the Grand Vizier, realizing that his power had disappeared, despatched messages to the representatives of the Sultine Porte in the various capitals to transfer their archives to the representatives of the Angora Government. As yet Mohammed VI, has given no evidence of conforming to the determination of the new Government to rid Turkey of the high office of Sultan, but the quickly developing popular movement may soon compel him, with the loss of his chiefs, to accept the inevitable. All the Turkish courts are suspended and Rafet Pasha has ordered the Attorney-General to dispense justice under the jurisdiction of the Angora Government. This further imperils the Sultan's position. Tewfik Pasha informed the Allied High Commissioners that because of the existing state of affairs in Turkey the Sublime Porte would not participate at the Lausanne conference on Nour Eastern affairs. Prior to accepting the announcement of Rafet Pasha that the fundamental organic law promulgated by the Angora Government would be applied to Constantinople Sunday, the Allied High Commissioners and Generals met to examine Rafet Pasha's proposals, which were for the establishment of Turkish civil administration in Constantinople and the neutral zone. Rafet participated in the meeting. Soon afterward the new Nationalist Governor definitely took control of the capital and issued orders to the director of police and chief of the gendarmerie to carry on their work and see that public order was not disturbed. He then spoke from a balcony to a crowd of several thousand, declaring that the hour of the liberation of the captive人口 had struck. He warned the people to deport themselves with dignity and not offend the susceptibilities of the Sultan, who still remained Caliph; any attack against his person would be regarded as an offense against the Moslem religion. The Municipal Council forwarded to Angora its acceptance of the National Assembly's resolution respecting the Sultan and the transfer of the sovereign rights to the Assembly. A Mayor was then elected and he in the presence of Rafet Pasha and other Kemalists took the oath of allegiance to the Angora Assembly The Minister of Education closed its doors yesterday, the Minister having resigned on Friday. The Under Secretary and all the employees of the de department proclaimed a strike and marched to the other ministries. The movement spread rapidly and delegates from each of the Ministries visited later presented themselves to the Grand Vizier with an ultimatum that he resign. When Tewfik sent to the Press Bureau a written manifesto to be mimegraphed the office of the Press Bureau was empty and the anouncement to the allied embassies had to be made by telephone. RIOTING IN STAMBOUL Stamboul was on fete Saturday night. There were boisterous demonstrations during which frenzied Turks fired blank cartridges and otherwise created disorder. The allied police held themselves were forced to fire on the mob, killing or wounding a few Turks. The disorders continued today and there was considerable window smashing. The Imperial Guards and allied policemen were on duty all night at the Palace here. In Stamboul the Christians sought shelter in the foreign establishments. Students of the Turkish University organized a mass meeting at Yildiz Palace Saturday evening. Five hundred students with banners and carrying lithographs of Mustapha Kenat Pasha, the Nationalists leader, marched past the British Embassy singing patriotic songs. When they reached the Palace they used violent epithets against the Sultan and shouted "Long live our President, Mustapha Kenat Pasha," "Down with the monarchy," and "Long live New Turkey." The poorer classes long imbued with monarchist principles, seemed dismayed at the sight of the revolutionary element. They declared that the "Angora Bolshevik" would bring about the ruin of the empire. The streets leading to the Yildiz Palace were blocked with crowds, and street traffic was suspended several hours. The Sultan requested protection from the allied police, and mounted policemen and cordons of troops guarded the Palace, ready to fire upon any per sons who attempted to invade it. The demonstration did not assume a character of extreme violence, but the tear was expressed that the Sultan, despite his intention not to abdicate might be forced to do so by the popular wave of enthusiasm which has been worked up by the Kemalist propaganda. TURK PRESS COMMENT. All the Turkish newspapers today comment favorably on the decision of the Angora Government to abolish the Sultanate. The Vakt says the memorable date of November 2 makes the situation clear and opens up new horizons for the Turkish nation and the Moslem world. It adds that sovereignty here after will belong to the nation and will not be utilized for a corrupt absolutist clique but for the well being and prosperity of the peasant population." Referring to the Caliphate, the Vakt says: "The fact that Ottoman sovereignty was in the hands of one person was an obstacle in the relations of the Moslem world with the Caliphate. This situation prevented unity and roused useless rancour against this country." The Tevish points out that the Angora Assembly's decision was forced by the claim of the Sublime Porte that it should be represented at the Lausanne conference. "After the victory of the Kemalist army and the signature the Mudania convention," the newspaper adds, "the Palace of the Sublime Porte sought to be entrusted with the management of the affairs of the Angora Assembly. Now the Porte and the Sultan suffer the consequences of their mistake." The Renin, which is the successor of the unionist organ, Tanimiv, connects present events with the Turkish revo lution of 1908. It says the revolution of July 10, 1908 gave birth to a child which has grown up in the midst of numberless difficulties, dangers and privations and adds: "Today the child has come of age. In its hands floats the glorious Ottoman flag, symbol of liberty and independence." The newspapers suppress the title "His Majesty the Sultan" referring to the sovereign as Mohammed VI. --- SEVEN ESCAPE FROM JAIL BY USING ROPE OF GALLOWS. Madison, Ga., Nov. 1.—Seven prisoners made their escape from the Morgan county jail last Monday night.

Twenty Negro couples were among the guests of the American's Making Carri val and Dance at the Hotel Astor, 44th Street and Broadway, Friday evening, October 27th.

The great Louis Chaliff and his Russian dancers, the Erzie Sisters and Dolly Sisters, Finnish, English, Carpatho-Russian and Swedish folk dances provided unique entertainment for those who did not dance. But Negroes can dance and did. The magnificent Grand Ball Room provided a pretty setting for this group with its charming women handsomely gowned, its men suave and graceful. They were, as the America's Making program courageously asserted and demonstrated a part of Our America. Among the Negro guests were: Dr. and Mrs. W. E. B.

(Preston Nowa Service) Richmond, Va., Nov. 3.—In the development of high schools in Virginia the needs of the Negroes of the State have not been overlooked, a report of Henry G. Ellis, State Superintendent of Secondary Education, shows. There are four fully accredited and three partially accredited four-year public high schools and four fully accredited, private high schools for Negroes in this State. Two public high schools and one private high school will be added to the accredited list in 1922-22. In connection with the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute at Petersburg, a standard four year high school is conducted as is another in connection with Hampton Institute. There are twenty-three county training schools for Negroes, in which high school work is offered and a large number of public and private high schools which have not yet met requirements for accrediting. The courses offered in all of these high schools are substantially the same as those offered in the high schools for white pupils. In Richmond the Armstrong Public High School and the high school department of Hartshorn Memorial College and Virginian Union University are fully accredited by the State Department of Education, Mr. Ellis' report shows. --- COUNTY OFFICIALS GUARD MEN Belleville, IL, Nov. 1.—An extra guard has been thrown around the local jail where two Negroes are held following their alleged confession to participation in the robbery of about 25 persons, attacks on six white women and two Negro women and in the murder of Alphonse H. DeHorn, a salesman who was slain when he resisted the highwaymen. The eight women molested, according to the alleged confessions, were companions of men the Negroes are said to have held up. Feeding is said to run high against the prisoners all though no demonstration has been made. Officials are taking every precaution to assure that the fair name of this city and county will not be blackened by mob violence.

There is no use calling attention to the fact that, bunk, bluster and billinggate are playing very important roles in the political comedy of errors now being generally played throughout the country by the political wisecases of the present general administration. That would not clear up the atmosphere a wee bit. The devil is here with his mit out and no one knows whether to pay his satanic highness in the coin of the realm or to tell him to go back to the other shore of the Styx and have his whiskers trimmed. Its just one d— mixup with the colored broth or very much on the bottom of the whole shooting match. The result is: "We expect, Romerone, will be no elected Senator by a big majority." This may not be the whole truth about the situation. Fess was to have been beaten decisively in the primaries. He wasn't. He was threatened all right. But some evil minded genius threw a monkey wrench in the machinery of the darned thing and the opposition plan blew up with a bang that could be heard from Cleveland to the padded apartment of the "Race Legis lative Committee," somewhere near Pennsylvania Avenue in the "City of Magnificent Distances" and graveyard of the "nearly great." Fess was nominated for Senator. It is declared that President Harding smiled and that Charlie Cottrell cussed a blue streak when the news of Fess' success was wired to their respective abiding places. Some hot stuff. Upon the surface of things this would make the election of Pomerene an unquestioned outcome of the situation. But in the language of a prominent colored politician in this Static, "It doesn't do anything of the sort, Granting that the colored vote in Ohio represents what is called 'the balance of power' it doesn't appear to do much more than to balance itself on the head after the votes are counted for the fellow it was voiciferously denouncing before election time. Here we are, he continued, "Literally being kicked out of the national and state Republican organization. Do we do anything more than resolve about the darned matter? Not so as you can notice it. Charlie Cottrell is madder than a wet hen. Tom Fleming is nursing a sore boll on his political neck down around the City Hall. The rest of us are doing a hop, skip, and a jump act that doesn't land us an half inch beyond the scratch line at the starting point of the sprint. We are on our way, you bet you, but whither are we going, my honored friends?" Nowhere! If Pomerene waits for the Republican disaffection to elect him he's right here in Ohio now trying to make an honest living at the practice of the law. Nobody knows the colored voter better than the President himself. There's a reason. But leaving everything else aside we have about put ourselves outside the breastworks by the lunacy of incompetent leaders and a loose indecision of political impulse that is tragi-comic in each and everyone of its aspects. On my account I don't give a rap what happens just so long as we get the political licking of our natural life. Let them kick us out of the party it will do us more good than harm. We don't amount to a political d—and that is all there is about the whole blessed matter, I am off to the woods, myself." No beating around the bush, there. It is literally kicking Negro political leadership right where mother put the patch on brother's pants. On the other side of the map Benjamin Jefferson Davis is doing a tight rope political act down in Atlanta. Hear him while he speaks, "Politically," he avers in the ed toral columns of The Atlanta Independent, "our group is weighted down with a hired, mercenary and valueling leadership. We are completely handcapped and represented without our consent by a leadership that is perfectly willing to sell the birthright of the race on any auction block for a miserable men's of pottage. With its bunch of self-constituted leader office holding for themselves is full payment for the recognition of the race's political rights." The editorial in question is a sixty-sing denouncement of the present-day political leaders and even go so far as to name a group of the men against whom the doughy's editor attack is in the main launched. The Republican Party is included in the general search of matters political. But the thing which keeps coming to one's mind as he looks around and takes note of the general confusion is the discontent manifest at every hand. There isn't any doubt about the colored vote wanting to wander away from its Republican home. But where is it going? Who is there among us who has the courage, character and capacity to lead us out of the wilderness? These are the peaches in top of the tree. If what the Cleveland man and Ben Davis say is true, why, we are in a terrifically tight place. I am watching the situation in Virginia. To my mind, there is the on-way of home Things friends down there are giving the rest of us a fine object lesson in practical politics. I sincerely believe that they are about to solve the question of our political status in a squarely effective way. They haven't made an appreciable dent in the political aspects affecting us throughout the country but, I feel, they are on the road to do so. They have found a cause and they are backing up that cause with their money. That course will finally get them somewhere. John Mitchell, Jr., polled a little more than 6,000 votes two years ago for governor. Perhaps Editor Lewis will not poll many more than that according to the official returns. But if they keep the blow up, as we say, they will finally poll more than 6,000 votes "officially" THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Yes, the owners of the Mechanics Savings Bank, representing approximately three hundred individuals, the depositors, representing about three thousand, not including the holders of Christmas Savings Club Cards, the white and colored people of this city, who are vitally interested in retaining the confidence of the colored people of this community and the good opinion of the white and colored people of the United States, are waiting. They all want to know the approximate amount of the assets to re-open the Mechanics Savings Bank. The amount is stated in the following extract from the decree signed by the able Judge of the Richmond Chancery Court- But how much more is needed? The Receivers assert that they cannot determine this amount until all the pass-books of the depositors have been turned in and balanced. To meet this condition the depositors, in meeting assembled, by unanimous vote, decided to share in any liability in excess of the amount already ascertained. This relieves the situation and enables the Receivers to strike a balance and submit the same to the Court with such a recommendation as may, in their judgment be fair to the people whom they represent. This then will necessarily end the delay as the Receivers have been unofficially reported to be in favor of re-opening the Bank and willing to do all in their power to help the colored people of this community. The issue is plain. Personal feeling and animosities should not figure in this matter. Let us re-open the Mechanics Savings Bank in order that those depositors who are urgently in need of some of their money may be able to get it and those who wish to deposit their savings may be permitted so to do. The depositors stand pledged not to make any run on the Bank Other issues and conditions can be met as they are presented The primary purpose at this time is to do business again. Let us ascertain the approximate amount of liability, put up the assets necessary and with the aid and support of the good white people and the self-sacrificing colored ones, backed by an abiding faith in the Almighty God. let us re-open the Bank. --- counted in their State. It's a good be ginning. But coming back to Ohio, I repeat, we are in bad here. The ejection of Senator Pomerene w/th the substantial aid of the colored vote would do us a vast dead of good. There isn't any doubt about that, I say again. But "Lineolh" is still a magic name with us and "Emancipation" is yet throwing us into frenzies of cestial enthusiasm for the dreams that are growing dummer day by day. It now looks as if Fess has a good lead. Well, it doesn't really matter anyway. We are here be cause we are here, and that's all there is to the matter. I guess. IDEAL SOCIETY NEWS Mrs. M. E.

EX-KAISER WILHELM MARRIES PRINCESS HERMINE IN DOUBLE CEREMONY AT DOORN GUEST PAY HOMAGE TO "QUEEN OF PRUSSIA AND GERMAN EMPRESS." Doorn, Holland Nov. 5.—Princess Hermine of Rouss today became the bride of William Hohenzollern, former German Emporor, at Doorn House, the place of exile of the one time "All Highest." She will be remembered for having baffled all the intrigues of German monarchists and in having led William, despite an almost universal opposition in German, to the altar. lodge and in the main hall of Doorn House, which events some day may be of much political importance involve questions pertaining to estates and even perhaps to dynastic succession. The guests were sworn to secrecy and were under Prussian military surveillance until they left either for dinner at Amerongen tonight or for their A. H. EX-KAISER AS HE LOOKS TODAY it held in the lodge; the other, religious in the chateau. Shortly before 2 o'clock the ex-Kaiser's twenty guests, followed by the Doorn House personnel, including Dutch police, congratulated the new weater of the titles German Empress and Queen of Prussia, which was done in accordance with the ex-Kaiser's orders. While the ceremonies, civil and religious were carried out in the strictest secrecy, The New York Herald obtained from an eyewitness a reliable account of what took place in the Read The Richmond Planet Agents Wanted Everywhere lodge and in the main hall of Doorn House, which events some day may be of much political importance involving questions pertaining to estates and even perhaps to dynastic succession. The guests were sworn to secrecy and were under Prussian military surveillance until they left either for dinner at Amerongen tonight or for their homes. The ceremonies began at 11 o'clock, when in the presence of lawyers the bride signed the marriage contract as "Hermino, Reuss," and the bridegroom as "Wilhelm II." Fifteen minutes later, with the skies overcast and a drizzle that did not suggest a cloudless future, Burgomaster Schimmelpennink in a room in the lodge building, read the formal Dutch marriage ritual. The ex-Kaiser instead of replying "Yes" merely bowed, but Hermine proclaimed her willingness to accept the ex-Kaiser as her master loudly and proudly. There were only six witnesses present at the civil ceremony, including Count von Moltke and Hermine's sister, the Princess Stollberg. These made the fifty yard journey from Doorn House to the lodge building in closed automobiles. No rings were exchanged in the civil ceremony and the ex-Kaiser requested that no congratulations be offered until the religious core mony had been concluded. By the time the ex-Kaiser and his bride arrived in the main hall all the guests had assembled. It was a veritable blaze of color. There were profuse decorations in mauve, red cymens, roses and ferns. The army guests wore their colorful uniforms. WILHELM WEARS DECORATIONS All stood as the couple, with heads erect but nervous, walked to the bench before the altar where Chaplain Vogel greeted them. The ox-Kaiser was attired in a field gray uniform of a General of Hussars. His breast was plastered with decorations, including the Iron Cross, the Order of the Hohenzollers for Merit and the Order of the Black Eagle, also worn conspicuously by the Crown Prince and his brother, Prince Eitel. Spiked helmets were abundant. The civilian guests wore frock coats but not two of them had the same color neckwear. Princess Hermine wore a gown of mauve silk and velvet, trimmed in white fur, and a black bat remb- niscent of a Galnesborough portrait. She carried a fan of white and grey ostrich plumes. Contrary to the custom at royal weddings she carried a bouquet of mauve orchids and white carnations and a gift edges Testament but of chief interest were the huge drooping cardrops of emeralds which have been in the family for centuries. The Crown Prince was in the uniform of the Death Head Hussars, white Prince Eitel wore a simple grey field uniform of an infantry regiment with broad red stripes on his trousers. The bride's sister, Princess Stollberg, wore a white and grey satin dress with a suggestion of decollete, although the ex Kaiser had ordered the ladies to wear high court dress. forcement to the great war embarrassing to the Government as the Dutch Queen's chamberlain was present. PRAISES DEAD KAISERIN. After referring to the late Kaiserin as a woman beloved by the German people, Chaplain Vogel lauded the fact that the ex-Kaiser had a place in his heart of both the living and the dead. William showed no emotion when reference was made to his former helpmate. Then turning from along historic naration of the reputation of the Reuss family, Vogel drew tears from the eyes of the Princess as well as from those of many guests by the tender soil BIBLE St. Louis seminary, Florida Lville, Fln., 3100 Pine was held a Congressman Anti-Lynch speaker at SLAYER Jacksony As soon as the couple was seated on gilt armchairs before the altar the servants entered and stood up behind the guests. An amusing incident in the ceremony was when Hermine plumped herself solidly in the chair intended for Wilhelm and changed only when an adjutant gesticulated wildly to the amusement of the guests. The ex-Kaiser himself stared stolidly ahead of him throughout the service, only twice joining in the hymns for a few phrases when the spirit of the singing seemed to lag. The music was provided by a parlor organ in the back of the hall and the music was directed by the village drug gist named Kornhof whose voice made up in power what it lacked otherwise. But the members of the high German families were ready to overlook all such defects today. The ex-Kalser made his responses in a hoarse voice, white Hermine could hardly be heard by the nearest guests. As the rings were exchanged in the German style she looked shyly at her husband, smiled and said a few words too low for the others to hear. Wilhelm nodded and then they clasped their rights hands and stood be fore the priest for the final blessing. The Ex-Kaiser showed no emotion, both Hermine and the Crown Prince were plainly nervous, the latter frequently sighing and wiping his eyes particularly when the chaplain mentioned the death of his mother. The hymns used, "Jesus Be With Us," "Now Take Hands"—the Ex-Kaiser's favorite—and "Jesus Guard My Soul" were distributed to the guests on printed slips. The sermon itself was a surprise in that, The New York Herald correspondent was informed it had been carefully censored by the Ex-Kaiser last night and he had crossed out numerous phrases plainly of monarchistic suggestion. Taking as his text I. Corinthians 13:1 Chplain Vogel preached for twenty minutes wordly, often stammering over the value of love and family life, cagely suggesting Germany's suffering in what he called the world crisis and also the sufferings of the ex-Kafer's family since the crisis. He called Doorn House a haven of consolation in which Hermine was ceded upon to play a role of great importance. Dutch officials followed the sermon closely, lest he might make some political re ference to the great war embarrassing to the Government as the Dutch Queen's chamborlain was present. PRAISES DEAD KAISERIN. After referring to the late Kalserin as a woman beloved by the German people, Chaplain Vogel lauded the fact that the ox-Kalserin had a place in his heart of both the living and the dead. William showed no emotion when reference was made to his former helpmate. Then turning from along historic narration of the reputation of the Reuss family, Vogel drew tears from the eyes of the Princess as well as from those of many guests by the tender soil citude with which he spoke of her as a typical German mother of five child dren, who had taken up a new burden of wifehood out of love for the de throned ruler. In conclusion the couple knelt on red cushions while the clergyman pronounced the benediction and a brief marriage prayer, saying: "Be merciful to both as well as to the German people whose hour of need is not yet over." The Crown Prince wanted to be the first to congratulate the newlyweds, but Prince Henry of Prussia, the ex-Kaiser's brother, got there ahead of him, following the bride's sister. No kisses were exchanged. It was not until the guests had all departed that the ex-Kaiser thus exhibited his affection before a few servants who were cleaning up the debris of the luncheon. When the ceremony had ended it was so dark that it was necessary to light the lamps, while the rain pattered incessantly on the outer staircase. The ex-Kaiser and Mermine remained in their rooms all afternoon leaving in a closed car from Doom at 7 P. M. for Amerongen, where they will spend the evening in Count Bentinck's castle.
