Watkins, of this city, has been entered by a group of friends in Elkdom for the position of Grand Exalted Ruler. The election will occur at the annual convention in Rich mond, Virginia in August. The Watkins backers have entered their candidate only after a thorough canvass of the country and in their opinion the "Show Me" candidate has better than a fighting chance. There will be several other candidates, including J. Finley Wilson, of Washington who is already serving his third term, and is seeking a fourth. There has been, for a number of years, sentiment in the convention favorable to one term, and two at most. T. B. Watkins is one of the most substantial business men in the country. He has a large personal following, and has always been progressive in fraternal and business matters. Mr. Watkins is a native of Indiana, as 48 years old, and "came up from the bottom", in a business way, so to speak. He is strongly backed by the Midwest Lodge, of this city, and they plan to tell the world that. Elkdom is honored by having the opportunity to consider such a candidate. While he is Past Exalted Ruler of his home lodge, and has been several times a delegate to the national convention, Mr. Watkins has never been an office seeker, say his friends. He is preparing a platform, since giving consent to have his name used, that promises to be one of the most militant ever presented by a candidate for any office. MICHIGAN ANTI-INTER MARRIAGE BILL DIES (Preston News Service) LANSING, MICH. May 22—Thru the efficient work of the joint Legislative Committee of the Lansing Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. and the Douglass Club of Lansing, the anti-marriage bill introduced in the recent session of the Michigan Legislature which adjourned last week, suffered a quiet and painless death in the Committee on Judiciary. The bill was introduced early in the session and was referred to the Judiciary Committee of the House of Representatives. The Legislative Committee of the Lansing organizations immediately aroused the political clubs and the N. A. A. C. P. branches of the State and influence was brought to bear resulting in being tabbed indefinitely. The adjournment of the session assured Michigan colored people of another victory over the large Ku Klux Klan element in the State. The bill known as House Bill 93 was to "prohibit and declare void marriages between white persons and Negroes, and to provide penalties for violation of the act". It was introduced by Representative McEachron. IDEAL SOCIETY NEWS. Richmond District Council, National Ideal Benefit Society at its last meeting Friday, May 22nd, tranched much routine business.

CHICAGO, ILL., May 28.—Associated Negro Press—Training young men for leadership is one of the newer trends of Negro business. It was emphasized here last Tuesday when in a session marked by fealty and reverence for their late chieftain, Frank L. Gillespie, and a determination to carry on his policies, the directors of Liberty Life Insurance Company named Dr. M. O. Bousfield M. A. acting president to fill the unexpired term. It developed that Mr. Gilleepie, genial yet dynamic leader that he was, planned far ahead for his organization. Perhaps, mindful that his days might be numbered, he had in building the organization, to which he drew many bright young men, carefully schooled the man who, as first vice-president, he expected to be his successor. Rev. T. J. King, D. D., who has been undisposed this week, is much improved. --- C PRICE, FIVE CENTS books to Preach Sermon V. U. U.

MAY 31, 1925 WE HAVE our 'ups and downs' in this world mostly 'downs'. YOULL HAVE trouble in this world, whether married or single. TOO MUCH selfishness in the in dividual brings in time its own pun ishment. BEING POLITE to white people reflects itself in being the same way to colored ones and vice-versa. SOME PEOPLE try to live right and many others live wrong. In the latter case, no trying is necessary. BUSINESS HAS BEEN moving recently at a snail's pace and practically every one in business knows it. TAKING SHORT CUTS at the expense of some other folks seems to be a common trait with some people. THERE ARE fundamental principles, which cannot be violated without the violator reaping his proper share of punishment. IT IS DIFFICULT to understand some people in this world. They have neither been made of the proper material nor trained to walk upright. IT IS GOOD to have faith in God. Despite the slurs of the world, the faithful will yet triumph. Wrong tournails only for a little while. THE HIGHEST ambition of most young girls is to get married and the greatest desire of the older ones is to do the same thing. As for the young men, they are disposed to live singly and most of their parents wish them to remain so. ROCK IN THE FISH IN TA'S A TWO FISTED MADE A BU MANY PEOPLE want to be Christians without believing in the fundamental principles of the Church. They should withdraw and join a church of free-thinkers. WE THANK those friends, who have sent in their subscriptions and also those who have favored us with job work. All of this has been a great help to us. AT TIMES, the way has been so dark that nor a glimmer of light could be seen in the distance, but we have struggled onward "leaning on the everlasting arm". COLORED FOLKS will do well to continue their labors in raising their children with good manners. Being well trained in that respect, their journey through this life is made correspondingly easy. PRESIDENT T. J. KING achieved great success at the meeting of the Virginia Baptist State Convention at Newport News, Va. recently. Over thirteen thousand dollars were raised. While much more would have been acceptable, everybody seems to be happy. The drive is now for $250, $00.00 for Virginia Theological Seminary and College. EDITOR LOVE'S TROUBLES. THERE IS NO longer any doubt, but what the progressive, better class of colored people, despite the encouragement and support of the better type of white people are now being subjected to the persecution and prosecution of those of the other kind. This evidence is afforded by the case now being discussed in colored people of the country. Charles N. Love, editor of the Texas Freeman and a devotee of the Booker T. Washington teachings and policies was roughly treated in Houston, Texas by a narcotic agent of the Department of (in) Justice at Washington and finally brutally beaten in the station house there by the local police officers. The culmination of the whole affair came Thursday, May 14th when after a trial, which lasted all day and with Editor Love being defended by Hon. Ben Campbell, a leading white attorney, he was given a maximum fine of $100,000 and costs. It was a jury trial. An appeal was noted. He is still under another charge filed by Policeman John Malestky, who assisted the narcotic officer. In the meantime, Editor Love is practically muzzled, despite the sympathy expressed for him by his white and colored friends. —You may not be an Elk, but you do want service.

Whipped on his bared back with bludgeons brutally scarred with instruments of extreme cruelty, intimidated with threats of instant death, "framed up" on theft charges cheated from his due wages, and defrauded in food purchases are a few of the experiences of George Diamond, a Negro worker in the turpentine camps of the Pensacola Florida district, now a witness in the Government's case of peonage against five soulless employers, on trial last week in the United States Court. The experiences of Diamond and his fellow workers make a New York "tifird degree" seem like a Heavenly dream. They even make the life of a slave on a Spanish galleon centuries ago before Democracy had made much headwav, seem like a vacation outing. To know that in America the land of the free and the home of the brave, such uncivilized acts are still in vogue; is but to know that there is so much yet undone in civilization's onward march. The beast that is within some men is still a mocker of Love and Justice; and the laxity that still prevails in Florida and its sister Southern States in the preservation of law and order, where Negroes are concerned is still a mocker of the customs of the United States. Has Florida a competent labor inspection staff which has any semblance of regard for the Negro worker? Does Florida still yearn for the lash and the baying bloodhounds? Is Florida statehood asleep that condensation of peonage is open and notorious? Are there not enough red blooded men of pride to stamp out the parasitical practices of unjust employers, themselves too lazy to work and too dishonorable to pay others just hire for their labor? As Napoleon once said: "Good God, How rare men are!" We wonder how he would feel in the midst of a Floridian peon camp. Sympathetic and thoughtful employers even in the South, have realized, particularly during the last decade that their own preservation depends, more than anything else upon the humanization of their conduct towards labor. Upon the majority of them the dawn has broken that ill treatment of labor, like chickens, always come home to roost. The black man's stultification in the South has exacted the heaviest toll in sectional progress that this country has ever seen; and it has been only recently since Northern capital, believing that the South has undergone a change of heart, but its aid to southern industry, that the South has begun to recoup its losses. But the peon camps of Florida and Georkia are akin making deep sores in the Southland, and unless it's well wishers and well doers can stamp out such inhuman storehouses of torture the South cannot hope to march forward. How long peonage practitioners can live and thrive in the South, apparently no one but God Almighty knows; but how long southern states will continue to pay the high price which uncivilization always exacts from its proponents depends upon what ever quickening spirit of justice there yet remains in a section of the U. S. A. which continues to lust the body and soul of the suffering black men and women within its borders. ```markdown ``` RAILWAY MEDIATOR APPOINTED. C.

Thus for the first time, the humble but conscientious knights of the road who forsake their own fireside and families to make a car seem homelike to those persons who are enroute between home and hotel, are to have direct representation and voice in making smoother the industrial relations which exist between them and their company employer. Grievances as to hours wages, and other conditions of labor are to be heard by Webb, who, having his Race and his employer at interest at one and the same time will make wise recommendations to each party, thus promoting a greater harmony and a greater appreciation, each for the other on the part of both the Pullman Company and its faithful Negro corps of experts. Arbitration is frequently the master of discord, and while due to the uniform consideration which President Carry and the staff of Pullman company officials have ever had for Pullman porters, misunderstandings have been few and far between it is genuine good will which is being served by assigning a Negro mediator to official tasks of importance and dignity. Industrial relations can become a sothing cauldron of discontent or they can be made as mellow as the moonlight. They are the Alpha and Omega of the industrial advancement of labor and, particularly in this country of Negro labor. The Pullman Company has set an example which could be profitably adopted by other employers. And as to Mr. Webb, of personal knowledge we know him to be a high class gentleman, competent energetic, and broad in his vision and understandings. He will make good. With the appointment of the veteran barrister, Thomas L. Jones, as Assistant United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, it appears that the anticipated policy of greater recognition of colored people has become effective and that the future months will witness the falling of many plums to the faithful heirs of the fourth estate who have waited so patiently for their share of the spoils of political combat. The colored women, headed by Miss Hallie Q. Brown of Wilberforce, and in cooperation with the Matthews organization have already made it understood that the same has a reasonable chance to be consummated by the appointment of colored women to a number of outstanding positions. In New York it is patent that the Republican National organization must do something to offset the pr stige which Tammany Hall, through Governor Smith and Mayor Hylan, has gained among the colored voters. With Senator Wadsworth preparing to enter the running again next year it will be necessary as Chairman Butler announced in Philadelphia, last week, to prepare for a stern battle. The New York vote is heavy and if the BRETHREN en masse could be induced to desert the Tammany Hall crowd it would be simple matter to swing the Empire State safely into the Republican fold.

Creative ability has been below normal and coalition has been made difficult by a disgruntled few, who seem still to imagine that antiquated political procedure is to be resrected. Silence reigns concerning the Register of Treasury's office for which there are a myriad of candidates. But, listen man, there are dozens of other prospects in Agriculture Public Health, Education, Commerce and Finance within the gift of Uncle Sam. Why not do like Charles E. Hall the eminent census expert who created a prospective place in the Federal Farm Loan Bureau, and visualize something original, even though some one may as they did in Hall's case, wait until you've put everything but the roof on the place and then try to purloin it. Even so such an effort as Hall's is a constructive one, and in the end constructive effort will win nine times out of ten. However, it's almost certain that political plums will soon begin to rain in an organized way and it's up to the thoughtful people of our group to have a spoon, and not be caught with a fork. The South is probably saying of Tom Lee, the hero of the Mississippi River: "He acted just like a white man". Wonder what the Negro Democrats of New York will do if strife continues to pervade the state and city organizations. California cities are still feeling the strain of "bootlegged" Mexican labor which works at a low wage for unscrupulous American emplovers.

Bernard Young) HAMPTON, VA., May 25.—For all-around brilliance the Fourth Annual Championship Track and Field Meet, held by Hampton Institute on Armstrong Field, has never been aproached in the history of Negro athletic competition. Nine Intercollegiate Athletic Association records were smashed in the four hours of dogged and stubbornly fought competition for track and field supremacy. Out of the picture express brilliance and unprecedented action two teams emerged victorious as team champions and relay winners. Hampton won the collegiate championship with 59 points and swept across the line 20 yards ahead of West Virginia Collegiate Institute and became the winner of the first leg on the beautiful Madame Walker collegiate trophy. In the scholastic division Dunbar High School of Washington; D. C..won a close victory over Bordentown for team championship honors with 32 points. In the relay Bordentown and Dunbar settled the question of superiority, when Dunbar ran to a new record and a convincing triumph RICHARDSON STARS Relay Richardson, running under Dunbars' colors, was, perhaps the real hero of the day, for he earned for himself a place with the elite of track athletes when he negotiated the century dash in 9 and 9 10 seconds. Striding with ease and absolutely no loot motion, but smoothly and swiftly Richardson leaped across the finish for his enviable 100-yard second and repeated in the 220 yard dash, turning in a mark of 22 seconds flat. Virginia Union, Hampton, Clatlin, West Virginia, St. Paul and Virginia Normal competed for, the, Madam Walkes and Hampton trophies, the Hampton team winning, Union High School won the special Tidewater Relay.

The following ringing words of Major General Bell, addressed to the famous "Buffaloes": the 367th Regiment, are typical of the high regard and respect of American and European officers for our colored troops. Every private in this regiment and most of the officers were Negroes. The General said:— "This is the best disciplined and best drilled and best spirited regiment that has been under my command at this cantonment.

A NEW REVISED BOOK WITH PEACE TERMS—750 Pages ```markdown ``` This Week By Ernest Rice McKin (Freston News Service.) A FRIEND of mine recently remarked to another friend of mine something to the effect that I was getting into too many fights with "This Week". Therefore to be agreeable, THIS WEEK we try another tack. The remarkable achievement of Harry H. Pace in raising the $100,000, the required fund to get the Northeastern Life Insurance Company on its way, is a thing for which the bestoses should be given we are not a race of QUITTERS and CRPEP HANGERS. We've got more sense now than we used to have. There was a time when we said that if a Negro business failed there was no need for anyone to try starting another during that generation. Mr. Pace has exploded that theory. Some of our publishers claim that if you tell the world about the failure of a Negro institution there is danger that a few more will die from fright lack of confidence or some other ghost. Mr. Pace has had considerable experience in the insurance business. He knows the business and can make it go. When he has developed arained sales force that can sell his policies properly, he and his company will be on the way to something that has been needed for a long time in the North. That something is: a Negro insurance company strong enough, broad enough, efficient enough and with enough liberal intelligence in its management to compete with the white companies. Beautif Now Within Y CLEOPATRA Beautiful Hair THE WONDER OF THE PRESENT AGE For years it has been the desire of the better class of colored people to have beautiful hair and with this end in view have tried all kinds of Hot-Comb preparations, and while their hair became straight, it was stiff and unsightly. Now, with Cleopatra you use no hairwax and your hair becomes long, soft and silky, with just enough wave to be beautiful. After using Cleopatra for a short while you can dress your hair in any style most becoming. Cleopatra does exactly as we say. Cleopatra is not an experiment, but is the result of long and careful scientific study of the hair and scalp of colored people. Cleopatra is a very high class preparation put up especially for those who can afford and who appreciate an exclusive toilet article. As you know, the hair is a tube with a delicate skin covering, and once this skin is destroyed the hair quickly dies. Now, nothing destroys this skin quicker than a hot comb.

Therefore to be agreeable, THIS WEEK we try another tack. The remarkable achievement of Harry H Pace in raising the $100,000, the required fund to get the Northeastern Life Insurance Company on its way, is a thing for which the best roses should be given. Remember this is a real insurance company and not a little "catch-penny" sick and accident or a "jerkwater" fraternal association or burial society Mr. Pace has raised this money and put this company on foot right in the wake of the failure of the Standard Life Insurance Company and the blow-up of the Brown and Stevens Bank. This is something to think about. Two Negro businesses fall yet another rises immediately out of the ruins, so to speak. This damonsrates that SOMETHING ENTIRELY NEW. and those who have tried this method know to their sorrow we speak the truth. Cleopatra Does not burn the scalp and is ab solutely harmless. Does not turn the hair red. Cleopatra Relieves dandruff, stops itching scalp and prevents hairfall.

Agents Wanted With the development of the Northeastern Life Insurance Co. there will not be so much cockiness on the part of the white companies in rejecting Negro risks, in charging higher premiums and in refusing to put Negro solicitors to work. Perhaps in the days to come, the statistics of these white companies will be bent a little backward to show that Negroes don't have such a high relative death rate after all. It is very pleasing to us colored Pittsburghers to learn that our most prominent citizen—at least as far as our national affairs are concerned—Mr. Robert L.

It costs more to carry a sack of potatoes from the train to a store in New York City than it does to ship the sack 1,100 miles by railroad. The farmer raises the calf, weans it, feeds it, feeds and milks the grown cow and gets for the milk a quarter of the money paid by the person that drinks the milk. You can bring freight across the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean for less than it costs to take it across the North River in New York City. The course of business is the high cost of distribution. Production we understand, in distribution we are as backward as Fiji Islanders. Samuel Rubel came from Russia a few years ago. He didn't a dollar, but he did have a distinct idea that a dollar was worth having; also he realized that the only way to have money dollars is to save the first few. A little while ago he was paddling coal for a living, today he is head of his own $50,000,000 see and coal concern. Young gentlemen, it pays to save even a LITTLE. The prices of automobile tires have gone up from 10 to 12 per cent in London. They are going up here. If you need tires, go and buy them. They will be much dearer before they are cheaper.

HAPPENINGS er or a tractor, but that know enough to rig the market. The Government may investigate, but it won't do much to protect farmers from crottoat manipulation until it imitates the French Government. That nation passed a law to punish with imprisonment with hard labor for life certain kinds of grain gambling. Last week, led by the Rotary Club, the business men of Denver, standing in silence for two minutes, prayed for rain, and the next night, in almost every part of the State, rain fell in torrents, and the weather bureau announces more. Nothing could be more edifying, but farmers in Colorado are puzzled. They cannot understand why Providence should answer the prayers of business men that only deal in crops after ignoring the prayers and heavy losses of the farmers that RAISE the crops. However, the ways of Providence are beyond human understanding, and farmers ought to know it. It is possible to be a criminal and not be a complete fool. Harry Valkes, of Pittsburgh, makes and sells bootleg whiskey. He tells the Judge: "It is all right to sell, but to drink myself, nothing doing. Only fools drink now; wise ones sell." Business on a big scale is growing in big things and little things. One chain of grocery stores does a business of more than $352,000, a year. One five and ten cent store chain a little while ago announced as its ambition a business of $60,000,000 a year. It does now more than $250,000,000 a year. In retail business there is unlimited prosperity for the man that understands the meaning and use of the three magic words — "ORGANIZE, DEPUTIZE, SUPERVISE." Professor Max Rubner, of Berlin, says Americans eat more on the average — 3,308 calories daily— than any other nation. England comes next, with 2,997 calories. It is certain that this country eats too much, and wastes about as much as it eats. Half we eat keeps us alive. One quarter keeps the doctors alive, and one quarter supports the undertakers and cemetery owners.

At the point of a gun the Wreck carries five gallons from a passing car. Later Charlie McMee, wormer of the station, finds that captives because he wants Sally for a ranch cook. It develops that Underwood, the man of the ranch, is in the car which held up, Sally and the Wreck finalized from the ranch, and camp is set on a second time, and then escapes again. The camp, they find the bore belonging to Seera. Bob Wells, Sally's lance, heads of a p-ase searching for the "bandits" who held up Underwood. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "Say, are you trying to get my nerves about this?" deman-ed the Wreck. "Because you're wasting time, if you are I can just eat this." Sally yelled him with a speculative says he began running his fingers through the mane of the black horse. She had never seen the Wreck looking quite so buoyant. Presently she began, to laugh. "I am Bob Wells could see you," she said. "Yes?" "Oh, you needn't get belligerent I'm laughing at Bob. He'd just die of morbidity. He'd either cur up and die or shoot you, I don't know which." The Wreck shrunged and caused himself in the saddle. Then he began mourning himself. "Well, what do we do next, Sally?" "Keep moving, I suppose." "Which way?" It was getting to be a fine morning as we swung in her saddle and be gan study, the country. Then she led the way again, across a meadow. The Wreck could not undress her. In her place, he woe would have wanted to get to Chicago, over the dead bodies of sheer and blood men, if necessary, to buy living and finish up what she carried out so. But here was a woman who did not seem to be either she carried her car or hit. It shrank as peculiar. They broke into a trot and he did not mind it in the least. What did he care if he fell off? Soon they were climbing a hill, and when it became too steep they fell. Soon they fell, leave, them, none, said. "I'll leave them here," said "Just throw the reigns o and and hell stand.

But I'm not sure that I are any errands in Chicago. Not at any rate." "That's all right." "Diddle sore?" she asked suddenly. "Ok!" think if you could always ride the sheriff's horse.

"Two horses, with riders," said Sally promptly. "And they're following our trail." "I left the rifle hanging on the saddle," he said, sheepsishly. "Let's hustle down and get it. Besides, we want our own horses." Half running, half sliding, they started down the steep hillside. "Keep behind the rocks and trees as much as you can," she advised. They dodged into cover wherever they could find it, working down hill in a bigzag course toward the spot where they left the horses. The horses never not in sight. "I am afraid they've drifted down toward the meadow," she said. What do you think we'd better do? "Keep going." "But if they reach the horses first—" "We've got to take a chance. Maybe it's nobody who'll bother us, anyhow." She had misgivings on that score, but followed him as he took the lead. A few minutes later when he was several yards in advance, she saw him stop abruptly and make a signal for caution. He pointed to an opening in the trees. "It's your friend and somebody "LOOKING FOR ANYBODY?" ASKED THE WRECK. else," he whispered. The Wreck was right. Bob Wells dismounted, had recovered his own horse and was subjecting it to a critical scrutiny. With him was a man whom Sally had never seen before. It of luck again. Presently the sheriff began examin ing the ground and Sally pinched the Wreck's arm. "There—he's looking up. Duck!" There was a big boulder handy; they stepped behind it and flattened themselves. "What'll we do?" asked Sally. "We might work around to the side," he suggested. "But—they're coming now." Up the steep slope they could see the sheriff and his companion. "Well; I guess this is the finish," she said, grimly. "Listen," whispered the Wreck, "you stay here." "Where are you going?" She seized his arm. "I've got a scheme. Leave *u* to me." "We're both in this together. Henry—" "Let me go," said the Wreck. "Let me know what I'm doing." She released his arm. "Please be careful, Henry. Please!" "Sure." He spoke jauntily.

He stepped out from behind the boulder. She watched him with wondering eyes. Why—he was surrendering. The Wreck's hands were lifted in the air as he strode down the trail. He had not gone half a dozen paces when the sheer's gun covered him. The Wreck. "Looking for anybody?" Bob Wells stared, and as he stared his mouth opened wide. "Well, I'm a son of a gun!" he gasped. "Uh-huh," assented the Wreck. "What's the idea?" "It's the four-eyed dude!" said the sheriff, in a voice of wonder. "Sure." The second man joined the sheriff, and both stared incredulously at the spectacle Wreck. "So it was you who stole my horse," said Bob Wells. "Just utilized him," said the Wreck. "And you've been running a stick-up game." The Wreck grumped. "I decline to answer, on the usual grounda" he remarked. "You needn't keep that gun on me unless you're nervous." The sheriff's glance rived the hill-side. "Where's your gang?" he asked, suddenly. "Well, if I was a sheriff," drawn the Wreck, "and if I thought there was anybody one I wanted, I'd go and look for am." "What would you be doing with two horses if you didn't have some body else with year?" "I'm a trick rider." Bob Wells stood glowering. "You're a fresh bird." he muttered. The Wreck began playing with a handful of pebbles. "We'll get your gang anyhow," said the sheriff. The Wreck was humming a tune. Suddenly Bob Wells remembered something. "Where's that flivver of yours?" This was news to the Wreck. He had supposed that the flivver was also captive. "She's in Montana," he said archly. Just then Bob Wells remembered another thing, and it startled him. "What became of Sally Morgan?" he demanded. "Oh, she got her train." "I If I had the least suspicion she didn't," said the sheriff slowly. "I shoot you where you sit." Bob Wells turned for a whisper consultation with his companion. "Well, no more nonsense," he said the sheriff. "Lead us to your goal." "Nobody around hare, sheriff." "Going to make us take a loot." The Wreck's only hope now was that Sally had managed to disappear. He wanted to keep her out of it, any way. Out from behind her bouncer stepped Sally Morgan, her eyes very bright and her cheeks red under the tan. She walked briskly into the group. "Hell!" said the Wreck. Bob Wells fell back a pace and gaped at her. THE sheriff felt that he was star- ing at an apparition. Sally had taken her stand beside the Wreck. Why hadn't she kept out of it? thought the Wreck. "Sally Morgan!" The sheriff's voice was unsteady. "Certainly," said Sally. Bob Wells took a step forward, reached for her, hesitated. "But he said—" The sheriff glared at the Wreck.

The prison surgeon with some white prisoners entered to get instruments and medicines and shortly afterwards, we were left alone with the slayer of John Bogan. A YOUNG WOMAN. We were surprised to find before us a young woman, tall, lithe, with a light brown complexion and apparently the last person in the world we would have picked out as the slayer of a human being. She hesitated at first to talk, but later told her story with a volubility and pathos that deeply impressed us. In reply to queries, she said: "My name is Mary Bogan. I am 21 years of age and I was born in Hanover County, Va. My name before marriage was Mary Pryor. I was married four years ago this Christmas. THE OTHER WOMAN.

He works in South Richmond. I stayed with my sister-in-law, 551 Brook Avenue, going there at 12 o'clock Wednesday night, the week before. I went back to get a pack-age. HAD COOKED SUPPER. "I did not expect to catch a woman there. Will Bass and another man were there sitting down. The woman had cooked supper for him. I asked her if she knew that he was a married man and she said, 'Yes'. I asked her if she roomed there and she said, 'No.' This ended the conversation and a few moments later, we were again at the Planet Office. THE CORONER'S JURY. The coroner's jury met in the City Hall with Coroner Whitfield presiding, Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. Will Bass was the star witness. He said that John Bogan said to Mary Bogan, his wife, "If you stay here I am going to kill you. He walked to his dresser, took down a box of bullets and put them in his pants pocket. The box of cartridges were on top of the bureau. Then he came back to the room and went to the bed and sat down. He took the pistol out of his pocket as he sat on the bed. That was the first time I saw the pistol. He told her if she did not go out of there, he was going to kill her. WOULD KILL HER. "He asked me if I wanted the furniture. He said well, give me $2.00. He said he would kill this whore and go out into the woods and scout until he could get his other money. Mary Bogan laughed. He laid the pistol on the bed and walked to her and smacked her twice on the side of the head and once on the hip. She was sitting down side-ways in a chair, like this. I said, John, I'll see you tomorrow. Mary had gone to the dresser and gotten one of the razors out and put it into her bosom. I had been shaving with the other one. I went out of the back door. I told him to shut the door behind me. Martha had left sometime before. HEARD PISTOL SHOTS As I got to Brook Avenue I heard the pistol fire six times. I ran back to Munford Street and came on back to the front door and then the girl, Mary was screaming 'Help! murder!' I asked her what was the matter. She went to the Second Police Station". In reply to a question of Coroner Whitfield, he said that the carridges were placed by Bogan in his left hip pocket. Coroner Whitfield placed them on the table and said, "That is where I found them". Bass said that he told John Bogan that he wanted the furniture but he did not want Bogan to get himself in any trouble. Coroner Whitfield explained that the carridges, some 20' of them were steel-jacketed, of 32 caliber. MUST GET OUT. The nickle plated Smith and Weson revolver had six empty shells, all of which had been fired. Will Bass said he resided at 1008 Oak Street and worked at R. J. Reynold's tobacco factory. Mary had not been living there for a week. He told her to get all of her things and get out, as she could not live there any more. He had packed up her things in a shopping bag and he rammed her hat on top of these. MUST LEAVE OWN HOME Martha Washington, the woman in the case took the stand. She said: "Yes. I heard John Bogan threaten to kill his wife. Mary Bogan said she was not going to let anybody come in her house after she had worked to make it what it was. Before she would do that, she would die. John Bogan said, 'If you don't get out of this house, I am going to kill you'. I heard him threaten to kill his wife, I said, 'I don't uphold no man shooting or cutting his wife. I am going home.' I had gotten his supper for him and I left. I had met him at a store and he asked me to come there and stay with him. I agreed to do it. WOULD HAVE STAYED THERE "I had been living with another man and he had threatened to kill me and I had left him. Yes, I had my night-gown there and I carried it away with me". In response to a question from a iuror, she said if the wife had not come, she would have spent the night there. Bogan had told her his wife had left him. "I live at 613 Jesse Streat. John came around there afterwards to get me to come back to the house and stay, but I told him no and he went away. I told him I would see him next week. THE COURSE OF THE BULLETS. It had been in the evidence that he left his wife there and went out after Martha left. Then he returned to the house and the killing took place. Four bullets went thru the glass in the kitchen door, one in the door jam and plastering and one in the body of John Bogan, about four inches above the centre and slightly to the side. It could not be located by the coroner, after it went above the heart and cut one of the large blood vessels. The case will be called in the Police Court May 26th and the indications are that a case of self-defense will be established. Bogan has a bad police record.
