RICHMOND PLANET Republican State Convention Re-nominates Col. Henry W. Anderson as Standard Bearer Harmony Prevailed There--Virginia Attorney Takes Nomination Under Advisement. Colored People Thoroughly Aroused Over the Outlook Expect Many Anti Machine Democrats' Support. VOLUME XLII, NO. 44 Republic Harmony ginia Atto tion U Colored Peo Over the Ou Machine The Republican State Convention met Saturday at Rouapoke, Va. Col. Henry W. Anderson made the keynote speech and ultimately was again nominated for the governorship. He did not accept however, and promised the convention that he would get the body know his decision this week. The race question was not considered and a large delegation of white Republicans and disgruntled Democrats constituted the personnel of the body. It was a difficult task to secure candidates. Hon John Paul, of Harrisonburg, Va. was nominated for Attorney-General, but he declined. It is not known who will take his place. At the previous session of the Republican State Convention, the differences between the white and colored factions seemed to have been matched up, but the renomination of Col. Henry W. Anderson, who is known to have an antipathy to the colored brother, will necessarily raise a question, which must be met before the ballots are cast at the polls. --- VISITORS TO OUR ORGANIZATION PLAYGROUND ASSOCIATION RENDERED GOOD SERVICE DURING ELKS CONVENTION.

AUTOMOBILE CRASH PREVENTS HOOED WHITES FROM KID-NAPPING HOTEL PORTER. (Preston News Service.) Waco, Tex. Sept. 11.—It appears that the hand of Providence intervened here when an effort was made to kidnap a Negro porter, said to be the first of its kind here in more than a year, became known to the police late Tuesday night. Charley Tidd, employed at a hotel in the downtown district, told the police that he was taken from in front of the hotel while on the sidewalk by four white men and placed in an automobile, driven by another unmasked white man. Tidd said the car had been driven for some distance, possibly about eighteen or twenty city blocks, when it collided with another machine which was parked near the curb. According to the police, Tidd said that the five white men tore the masks from their faces and fled as soon as the crash occurred, leaving him in the machine. Tidd told the police that he then climbed out of the machine and came to the police station to report the affair. IN MEMORIAM.

Philadelphia, Sept. 6.—Police who raided the saloon of Anthony Zalis today found a bronze lion's head ornamenting the bar, but no liquor. Searching the building, they said, they discovered a tiny lead pipe which connected the lion's head with a four-gallon container on the third floor, filled with what they declared was whiskey. When a policeman poked the lion in the eye the liquid ran from his mouth. Zalis and his bartender were arrested. PRICE, FIVE CENTS S Bearer OLN DEAD!

GOVERNOR SMITH REPRIEVES "YELLOW CHARLESTON" SIX HOURS BEFORE EXECUTION TIME. (Preston News Service.) Albany, N. Y., Sept. 11.—"Yellow Charleston," the convicted slayer of Barron Wilkins, was granted a reprieve by Governor Al. Smith six hours before time for his execution. The reprieve is effective until September 17th. Warden Lawes at Sing Sing received a telephone message from Governor Smith at 5 o'clock, and Julius Miller, alias "Yellow Charleston," was prepared to go to the chair at 11 o'clock. It is said that Miller was dressed in the death suit of black and was resigned to the death penalty. He had requested that he be allowed to wear a tuxedo suit, but this had been denied him. When he received the news of his short lease on life, he cried "Thank God," then broke down and wept, prison attendants said. His wife and two daughters, seven and eight, were visiting him when the news came. Miller had been nervous all day, prison attendants say. Keeper Sheehy said that when he visited Miller's cell in the forenoon Miller jumped and shouted, "Have mercy me!" It is said that the reprieve was granted through a direct request to Governor Smith by District Attorney Banton. Mr. Banton says there is new evidence which may show that Miller is not guilty. The evidence was obtained through Earl Carroll, it is said. Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Allen visited Washington and Baltimore, Labor Day.

Phoenix glue" means married bliss. "Thorn hairpin and cloth petti coat" means a poor, but virtuous girl. These are some of the flowery phrases, each represented by a single character, that make the Chinese language "Greek" to the average white man. They are like an open book, how ever, to Ray Tenney, Chinese expert of the State Department, Washington. Experts disagree as to the number of written characters which make up the language. Their estimates run as high as 260,899. Date1 From 3000 B. C. However, there are only about 25,000 characters which are in good use, and have really different meanings. The invention of Chinese writing is ascribed by various authorities to Twangti, a primeval monarch, and to Fuh-hu, who lived about 3000 B.C. Original Chinese characters were simply rude outlines of the objects they represented—such as sun, typon, hills, animals and the like. These symbols, carved at first on bamboo tablets with iron styles, were gradually modified with the use of pencil, ink and paper. Then, as the need arose, other characters were formed by combining two or more symbols so as to indicate different meanings. Sun above the horizon, for example, meant "morning"; something in the mouth, "sweet"; union of sun and moon, "brightness." Some of the primeval characters became rather complicated. For instance, the characters which now TORTOISE ORIGINAL MODIFIED MORNING ORIGINAL MODIFIED SWEET. ORIGINAL MODIFIED under a shelter, the idea being that characters are the well-nurtured children of lifeglyphics. Then the Chinese went still further, enveloped characters by combining an intuitive symbol with another symbol to designate sound. So the officials used the character, representing "insect" with another character meaning something entirely different, but which happened to pronounce "nan." Those reading the proclamation said the character meaning "insect," saw the character meaning "be pronounced" "nan" ard had to be in figuring out the "insect" pronounced this way meant "locust." Most of the language now is made up of characters formed in this way. Language of Imagery What makes Chinese so hard to understand is its very exaggerated imagery. To "spread branches for a seat and lower the top of the carriage" means to meet on a journey and chat. An "ice man" means a marriage intermediary. To "carve a swan like a duck" means a poor imitation. "Ice and ardent charcoal" means enmity. To "ride a dragon" means to have an able son-in-law. Mandarin Chinese, which includes the Pekin and mid-China dialects, is the language used in three-fourths of the country. But beside this there are any number of other dialects, such as Canton, Shanghai, Hakka, Foochow, Wenchow, Ningpo, Yangchow and Suchuan. Some of these, notably Cantonese, are like entirely different languages. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA National Champion Stephen M.

The intrepid African commander employs Indian tactics In dealing with the trained troops of Europe, It is a case of “now you see me and now you dou't"™ It worries military men when they cannot meet an armed, foe employing similar tactles to their own, Tt ne- cessitaces their learning the war game ali over again, That the Moors of Northern Africa are confident of success against two of the great powers of Burope is evident trom the following statement attributed to their leader. Tt is as follows: (Copyright, 1925, by The New York ‘Times Company.) (By Wireless to The New York - Times.) Tangier, Sept. 3.—Ab-del-Krim boasts that with his 20,000 Riff war- riors be can successfully resist the 200,000 French now opposing him. He reasons as follows: « QF every ten French or French ‘colonial soldiers fighting in Morocco he reckons that three are unavailable through sickness and wounds and four are in reserve or employed be- hind the lines. This leaves three out of ten for front line service, or a ‘total of 60,000 out of the 200,000. ‘The Riff chieftain furthermore de- lares that each of his own men is equal to three foes, since the Rif- fans are fighting to defend their home lend, are stirred by religious zeal, are accustomed to the climate, and are practically unburdened with equipment, needing only a little dry bread and a small supply of cart: ridges. ‘On the other hand, the French and French Colonials are weighted down by impediment and are unaccustom- ‘ed to the country and climate. There fore, argues Ab-del-Krim, his 20,006 Riffians are worth the 60,000 sol- diers in the Prench front line. Comparing the Spanish and Frenct fighting in Morocco it is reported here tiat the Riffians consider the Spanish airmen to be better than the French and better bomb throwers whereas the French artillery. is fai better than the Spanish. The Rithian: report that the garrisons of the French posts hold out longer than th Spaniards. Sometimes two or thret Senegalese after their officers wer killed have resisted till overpowered It is said that among the prison ers made by the Riffs are two Span ish Francisean friars, who wer captured while walking in. the out skirts of Tetuan. They inhabit little Rouse at Zawis Akhamlich where they have planted a garde and made the whole village more at tractive by voluntary work. Theil goodne:s is much appreciated by th Riffian:, who visit them and discus religious and other subjects. “They are so good, gentle and in telligent,” the informant _ stated “that we cannot understand wh they haye not adopted the Moham medan faith, But we have not pu pressure on them to do so.” ‘This then i¢ q plain statement 0 the facts.

N. J, It seems that a taxi company received a cail and Pierce was sent to serve the customer. ‘The child was grabbed by a man in a car, who rapidly disappeared. To make a long story short, a young white man, named Harrison W, Noel, a former inmate of q lunatic asylum was arrested and admitted killing the colored chauffeur in order to get the use of his car for the purpose of kidnapping and killing the unfor unate child. He stated that his purpose was to obtain a ransom, Colored folks are having just as hard, a time in the North as in the South and in some respects, their ‘roubles are greater in the North. COL. WILLIAM MITCHELS a6 created a sensation by his criticism of the air service of the War and Navy Departments, It seems that more money has been wasted in this branch of the service than ip all of the o:hers combined, The great Girteible aitship, the Shenandoah, which (was built at Lakehurst, N. J. and which was assigned to the navy was lost in a storm recently over Ava, Ohio, It broke into three see- ticns and fourteen lives were -lost including hore of the Lieutenant Commander, In the meantime, the long dis- tance flight to Hawaii also resulted disastrously. One seaplane with five men aboard has been lost. The ‘German expert in this country, Anton ‘Heinen criticises those in charge of the Lakehurst plant, There were josiginatly 18 valved {a the Shenan douh and § of these were removed in order to save the expensive hetium gas with which the airship was ingjated, In commenting upon the removal cf the valves, Mr. Heinen is quoted as follows: “Captain Heien said the ship should have been able to discharge 21,000 cubic feet of helium for every 240 feet that she rose above a height of 3.000 feet, and that he had under. stood from Commander Klein that she was nearly filled with helium when she left the station. “Tf the ship had been filled with hydrogen the disaster might not have occurred, he said, because the hydro- gen would have valved more freely ‘han helium and there would not have been the same reluctance: to save it if at all possible, “qnetsting that the Shenandoah as originally designed was the “safest thing iy the world”, Captain Heiner asserted that, due to the reduction o the number of valves, which was made about six weeks ago, he would no: have gone on the dirigible for 4 millioy, dollars. “Tt was not safe with valve changes,” he) added. “The men that went aud knew of the changes were brave, indeed”, Contirmation of this view is founé in the following cablegram from Berlin: | «ps. Hugo Eckener. head of the Zeppe'ty works and buillder of the Tse Anesies. made he claim toda that under German’ management the Shenandoah disaster would not hav hannened “Under German leadership and witl German-trained crew this disaste would not have ccetrred” Dr. Eck conor aserted “I myse'f have nav jgated Zeppelins in extremely diff ont weather, but always have suc seated in. keoping the ship in hand The tragic mishap to the Shenan doah and accidents in other cour tries chow that Germany s'il) has : misston to nerform in serial naviga sion ‘which she alone can fulfill,” Dr. Eckener brought the zeppelin | now known as the Los Angeles acros J te Atlantic Ocean without @ mishay Jana most assuredly knows what h Vis tatking about, THE RIGHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND’ VIRGINIA BP, VAUGHAN FURLOUGHED. * (Successor to GC.

What is more dangerous than ocean, travel, riding on, railroads, or flying in an airplane? ‘The answer, given by Mr. John- son, of the National Life Insur- ance Company, is FAT. Fat kills Americans more rapidly than anything else. Fatty degen- eration of the heart kills many. Fat accumulates on middle-aged business men, and that kills them before their time. In old age especially fat is dan- gerous. And in old age it is most difficult to get rid of dangerous fat. The heart won't stand exercise that might take the fat off. The feeble will cannot control diet. ‘The safest place in the world as regards accidents is the cabin of a big steamship on the ocean. Next in safety comes a railroad train, and before long the fiying machine will be safer than either. ‘The man in greatest danger is the fat man past middle age, eat- ing heartily and hurriedly when ine is tired. Don’t insure him. Good news for little automobile owners. Gasoline prices _ are slashed all over the country. es- terday, in Eastern territory, che cut was three cents a gallon. In the Middle West many buy gas under 14 cents. It makes a big difference to thore that count the cost of living and motoring. Tt means nothing to the big men; they don't care what gasoline costs. And many of them, owning oil stocks, fee! rather sad. A three ent cut in gas may mean a $9 drop in oil stocks.

S. Modern speculative masonry has what it catls secrets, but none of hem are what were called secrets emong the ancient Africans who practiced the mystic craft ages be fore England founded her York Rite and France her Grand Orient. The Africans rad secrets boch operative and speculative which today are cither lost or still kept secret. What sor: of cement was it they used that became harder than the stones it held together? What kind of jtools did they ‘use by which they carved tombs and temples out of the hardest granite as though it was mere chalk? How did they raise stones weighing fifty to! one hundred tons, or place capitals on the tops of pillars that weighed as much a3 the pillars themselves? What did Mission Is _a Secret—Rubber In- terests Developing Liberia — Homeland Problem Again Up for isceatan: WASHINGTON.—With the ar- rival of Edwin Barclay on the steamer Paris, in New York, specu- lation is rife in official circles in Washington as to the purpose of Dr. Barclay’s visit in_his official capacity as Liberian Secretary of State. After being accorded diplomatic courtesies by the representatives of American State Department, the Honorable Mr. Barclay was ‘also welcomed by Dr. Lyons of Balti- more, who is the Liberian consul general in the United States. ‘There has been some trouble be- tween the French authorities and the natives in the Zinta section on the frontier and Secretary Barclay has just come from Paris, France. It will be remembered that the American Congress some time ago turned down a five million dollar Joan for Liberia after it had been approved by the executive depart- ment of the U. S. government. Tt is understood that some of the mammoth rubber companies of America are planning a deal with the Liberian’ government in ex- change for much-needed rights and privileges in ordez that America may break the British corner of the raw rubber supply. ‘The arrival of official rerresen- tatives of the Liberian Republic always revives interest in the rela- tions of the African Homeland to the tremendous Race population here in the U. S. It will be re- membered that a tenresentative of the Homeland Inte'7 spoke strongly apathst Garvev's idea, Opposes Garvey Idea During Secretary Barclay’s visit Inter-Racial News Service cot- respondents have been iustructed by Ramsey Ray, general manager, to interview Race notables in va- rious sections in regard’ to the actual status o/ our Group ia-eaci portion of the U:iied States. In a conversation, Mademe Ma- mie Hightower, the famous Beauty Culturist and’ originator of the Golden Brown Preparations, had this to say) : “Tam vehy happy of course to welcome Sé:retary Barclay both because of his distinguished post- tion in a friendly governmext and because of his nob.e atcestry. I have not forgotten that annther Barclay served as President of our African Homeland ia the eazly years of the preseat century and that the Barelay fomily has fur- nished a Secretary of State at an- other period besides at the pres- ent.” “Like the Phitippizes, for mu- tually good reasons Liberia should remain the good and true friend of America at all times. Trade Com- merce, Finance, all these things alone ‘will dictate such a course, even if it we-e not an imperative obligation based on the past his- tory of Liberia and its settlement by the American Colonization So- ciety, just a little over 100 years ago.” ““[ think that the relations of the people of our Race to both the gov- ernment and natives of Liberia must be one of helpfulness, friend- liness and cordial co-operation. By careful stucy and by constant de velopment it shou'd be possible én time to develop the vast, the al- most urknovn. interior’ of the ‘Homeland to a land of health and prosperity. Like the Alaska of fifty years ago, Liberia means to most of us a sort of a dzeamland, a wilderness rather than a grip: ping, actual, living relity with magnificent potentialitics. Bat when one looks back through de- Yelopment of our Race, particu larly here in the South the iast quarter of a century, it is impos. sible and almost foolhardy to suq- gest leaving this land of wealth and health for the uncertainty of the primitive.” “I know it is unpopular to take this view, but when I look back at the five reasons in the preamble to Liberia’s Declaration of Independ- ence I find five major reasons at that time (1847) for further im- migration from the U. S. to Africa: Exclusive from. civil of- fices; exception from particina- tion in Government taxation with- out, consideration; discriminations without avenues of improvements; contribution without protection.” “Now seventy-five years after the orientation of their buildings mean {to them and row to set them so perfact that there is not the error of wi inch? How did they make stone doors that moved to a touch ng ght as a feather and hide secret chembers so that none could find ‘hem except those who made them? Wha were their secrets of making covors that retained, their brightness afer five thousand years? ‘These are but a few of the secrets which were known to ancient Afri con masons and iif they could know that modern pale skinned me) claim to have them, they would turn over in their graves amd laugh.

The world has never known such a miracle as the miracle of the radio. And no man living knows what radio and moving pictures combined are destined to do for education. As railroads shortened men's journeys, and telegraphy shortened transmission of messages, so radio and moving pictures will make shorter by more than nineteenth the journey along the tiresome road of knowledge. MacMillan, 3,700 miles away in the Arctic ice, is called up and interviewed by radio, answering the Associated Press questions with his own broadcasting apparatus. Later, when he starts flying, MacMillan will be able to answer questions by radio while in flight. If men can do that now, how soon will they talk through the ether to those cosmic flying machines, the planets, floating in space. No static or other trouble presumably, once you get outside this earth's atmosphere, only about 500 miles deep. An invention from New Zealand sends high explosives through the air in torpedoes guided by wireless. These air torpedoes operate as do water-borne torpedoes used to destroy battleships at sea. And the New Zealand air torpedo can be launched against an enemy, flying ship, battleship or city one hundred miles away and wreck the object against which it is steered by wireless. The United States should get that invention and be ready with it.

Be READY for the whole world. All over the United States the average age of man is increasing. average age of man is increasing. Every year saved in adult life means an increase in the nation's wealth. It costs money to bring up children, as well as effort and anxiety. In the State of New York the average age has risen from twenty-four years in 1840 to thirty-four years now. This means that common sense, science and good doctors have added six years to the average age of every individual. The years are added in the FIRE EARNING period. Suppose the average adult's work is to this nation $10 a day, and that's a low estimate. You can figure out for yourself how much it means in money to add six years to every adult's life. Cut the $10 to $5. Cut that amount in half to allow for women and others not working, and you still have a saving, an increase of national wealth to the tune of seventy-five millions of dollars a year. Curs is a civilization of interesting contrast. For instance, consider the father who lives in two whitewashed rooms in Jersey City. Out of work, he was worrying about feeding seven children when the neighbor, called in to "help his wife," announced triplets, making the number of his children TEN. That father, waiting for the triplets to be born, read about a magnificent new mosaque to be built by a combination of churches, to co* three and one-half millions, and provide a resting place for corpses, properly embalmed, and put away in their little niches. That mausoleum will not have whitewashed walls, but a fine marble finish. When churches ask, "Why are we not crowded?" answer might be, "Because, while mothers of children lack decent housing, you build $3,500,000 mausoleums for corpses that might as well be put in the ground to add to its fertility, or carried up the chimney of the crematorium, putting back into the air the nitrogen they took from it."

Ma About Your Health Things You Should Know by John Joseph Gaines, M.D. OUR INVISIBLE FOR A happy state of mind is that in which we believe that we haven't an enemy in the world. There may be good reason for not distributing such serenity. But there are, in fact, millions of deadly foes about us, invisible, unrecognized, until it is forever too late in many instances to check their deprendations. The invisible foe is ever a manace to life. We may combat the known enemy—or, if he is too big for us, we may beat a safe retreat; but the thug in the dark aile, reasons that dead men tell tales. It is the concealed weapon that does the harm. The deadly submarine is an invisible foe, terrible in action, and yet the microscopic germ kills more! It is my purpose in this series of articles, to discuss "our invigilious foes" from the standpoint of one who has been for thirty-three years an active clinician, and who is still so, engaged in the honorable effort to keep men and women fit, believing that life may be prolonged, and the world be made better thereby. It would be an eminently wise measure if our Public School Boards would add the subject of bacteriology to the course of study, providing at least a working knowledge of the subject, which would enable the student to defend himself against many of the active foes of comfort and health, which continually beset him. If you, dear reader, of this paper, are interested in health and its consequent longer and happier life, for yourself and family, we shall try earnestly to contribute thereto, by kindly advice gleaned from the field of experience.

A Civil War veteran of Illinois, aged 88, is told by the judge that a man 88 "has no business to get married." A Pennsylvania man of ninety-one settles property on his children, then marries a woman of 45, who says her new husband is "old in years only." Jacob Wettler, Swiss embroiderer, only seventy-four years old, shot himself, saying life wasn't worth while at that age. "When he is forsaken, withered and shaken, what can an old man do but die?" Some men are as old at fifty as anybody can be. Moltke at ninety was younger than many of the junior officers that stood in stiff respect about him. A man is old when his mind stops working along new lines. The people of America have about doubled their incomes in a few years. The cash that Americans earn, or receive from investments, rents, from inherited property, etc, is not far from ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS. A YEAR, almost a thousand dollars for every man, woman, and child. For every 100 homes in the United States there are 20 washing machines. That shows progress, and room for more progress. The family without a washing-machine, unless the washing be "sent out," proves that some woman is condemned to needless slavery. An electric washing machine and wringer, costing a few cents a day for current, makes of washing an amusement instead of hard work. It makes it possible in a large family, with a busy mother, for the growing boys and girls to do the greater part of the week's washing and relieve the mother. American ladies, it appears, entertain Parisians by wearing their stockings rolled down, showing all of the knee and part of the leg bare, below a short skirt. Such women would represent the United States more usefully at home in front of American wash-tubs with their sleeves rolled up instead of having their stockings rolled down in Paris. But there is a hygienic use in bare knees. All Esquimau women, even in coldest Arctic weather, arrange for an opening at about the knee to let the air in. If they didn't do that, they would die for lack of oxygen. Weak fish will find it hard to survive in the automobile endurance contest. One big company announced another cut in prices yesterday, making the fourth cut in a year. The highest engineering skill and business ability are devoted to giving the public high grade automobiles at the lowest prices. That's valuable work. When will commercial genius show the same energy in cutting the price of food "delivered?" A scientist says that the young people of today have become "motor car wise." By insult they avoid automobiles and adapt themselves to traffic. Older people seem unable to learn. Even chickens and dogs have learned something. They stay out of the road and are killed less frequently than they once were. It would be good news if the young people of the generation would be "whiskey wise" in addition to being motor car wise. During the next few years there will be more young people killed by whiskey than old people killed by automobiles. A plague of butterflies, causing motor engines to become overheated, by clogging the radiators, suggests a gruesome possibility. If the insect tribes with their horrible fertility, should get out of control, they could fill the air, destroy all vegetation, starve, suffocate and devour the human race and all other animals. Nature fortunately attends to these things. Even the insect plagues of Egypt sent to punish sui did not kill all Egyptians.

Your Birthday Is it this week? September 6-12—VIRGO If your birthday is this week, you are exceptionally well-balanced and are never likely to go to extremes in anything. You have an innate refinement, purity and sensitiveness. You are always modest, and are of a quiet and retiring nature. With these qualities, it is very seldom a Virgo person sinks into degradation and vice, regardless of their adverse circumstances or early unfavorable environment. Mercury, the ruling planet of this sign, gives to its subjects much wit and very ingenious minds. These people have a cool, confident bearing, inclined to be exclusive, and are always very discriminating in the selection of their friends and companies. Virgo people are adapted for either a pervertile or professional life. They display much tact and cleverness in their commercial undertakings as well as professional callings. They make exceptionally fine authors, because of their great insight into human nature. The most profound faults of these people are selfishness, self-gratification and pride, which often makes them envious and disagreeable. They do not get along well as a rule with other members of the family, are excitable and need responsibility of some kind BEGIN HERE TODAY SIR DUDLEY GLENISTER, suggested of the murder of his cousin. James Glenister, has a strange caller in the person of SIMON TRICKEY, whose bloated face culminates in one big red blob at the end of his nose. Trickey's plan to blackmail Sir Dudley is interrupted by the arrival of— DR. WILLOUGH B MEL DR. WILLOUGHBY MEL VILLE, and James Wragge NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY From under half-closed lids Doctor Malville watched for the effect of this request, apparently so ill-timed, on his host. Sir Dudley walked quickly to his writing table and filled in a "bearer" check for five guineas. "There you are, sir," he said, handing it to the black-coated canvasser. "I don't mind parting to a gentleman who asks pretty, but I'll be hanged if I should to a blackguard who tries to bluff me." "Now I wonder," mused Inspector Wragge presently as he strolled down the drive after pocketing the check and thanking the donor. "I wonder whether a man who deserves to be hanged would refer to the light, or a wonder who the red-nosed blackmatter is Possibly I shall have the pleasure of traveling back to town in the same train with him." And as he made his way to the railway station he further reflected on his good fortune in having met at the lodge gates the West End specialist who had treated him for "nerves." Meanwhile Doctor Melville was taking leave of his host in spite of blustering requests that she should remain. "Out of the question," he resisted firmly. "My patients have first call on me. Besides, I can't be of any use to you here, now that the inquest has let you out. Your best plan is to keep quiet and let the rumors die down, unless there is something vital that you are concealing from me." Daddy dug his eyes before the probing gaze. "No," he said. "No. I haven't concocted anything from you. Melville. I didn't kill my cousin George." Melville shrugged his shoulders and went away to pack his bag. His brows were drawn together in a puzzled frown. "You may not have killed your cousin George," he muttered, "but you have done something, my friend, that is pretty rotten. And if I am my judge of physiognomy you can template doing something else that won't bear inspection. It would be interesting to know what view judges make. I must look the embl image detective in my case-book when I get bonus." CHAPTER VIII Violence THE evil which the nerve special ist believed Sir Drabble to be plotting was not long in coming to maturity. On the day after Trickey's call and Melville's departure from Bescow Wood Grange he went to London and put up at the Millennium Hotel in Piccadilly. On the same afternoon he had a taxi called and gave the driver the address of Lady Marriages in Cadogan Gardens. Kathleen and her dowager guardian, after being practically turned out of the Grange, had ostensibly resumed their normal existence of her own life. Her cousin Dudley had been revived by the weird incident in the Beechwood covers. The trouble was that she did not know to whom to turn ON FINGER 1925 by NEA Service Inc. for aid. That local wiseacre, Sergeant Mitchell of the county police, had agreed with the verdict of the jury and she was ignorant that Scotland Yard was interested. She had not forgotten Mr Stephen Colne's offer to Sir Dudley of his official influence in that direction, but the offer had not been made to her and she was reluctant to approach the cabinet minister. There remained only her lover, Norman Slater, then, about the time that Sir Dudley was leaving his hotel to call at Cadogan Gardens, a disreputable stranger was ushered in who revived her drooping hopes. A discreet and elderly parmaform answered Sir Dudley's ring and informed him that her ladyship was not at home. Yes. Miss Glenister was in, but for the moment she was engaged with another—person. Struck by the woman's tone, the baronet inquired if the person was anyone he was likely to know. "Hardly. I should think, sir, "except perhaps in the way of business," was the demure reply. "He looks like a dog fancier. I don't ex 7 NORMAN'S RUSH WAS THAT OF A MADDENED BULL NORMAN'S RUSH WAS THAT OF A MADDENED BULL. pect he will be long. if you will come in and wait." Sir Dudley accepted the invitation and was shown into a cloak-and-hat room, whence he had a view of the hall. He had not been there two minutes when he heard steps descending the stairs. A moment later the pararmaid crossed his line of vision, conducting Mr. Simon Trickey, red-bulbed nose, loud-cue suit and all complete, to the front door. The baronet started up to intercept his former clerk, checked the impulse and waited till the maid appeared to take him upstairs to the drawing-room. When he was anounced Kathleen was folding and placing in her purse a slip of paper. She completed the operation carefully before she deligned to notice her latest visitor. "Well?" she said, looking up at last, "this is an unexpected honor—after being turned out of the Grange so recently." Evidently this was to be a dual sans mercur on either side. "I had to ask my guests to leave because most of them were conspiring against me," rejoined Sir Dudley. "You and that puppy Slater worse than any. But I am here to open the doors of Beechwood Grange to you again. A generous offer, since I now find that you are intriguing with Simon Trickey. With you, I am told of you" snapped Kathleen. "But I am not at all sure that I want to have the doors of the Grange opened to me." I shouldn't birthday ```markdown ``` 1 feel very safe there." Glenister took a step forward, his huge bulk towering over the slim girl who confronted him, cool and unafraid. "Let me make it clear to you," he replied. "I want you to come back to the Grange as my wife. You will be sorry if you don't. I want you because our marriage would be the best answer to the suspicions you have done your best to foster—the suspicion that I murdered your brother." "Well, didn't you?" said Kathleen dryly. "I will take my oath I didn't." "If you didn't do it with your own hands you caused his death" "This new allegation seemed for the fraction of a second to disconcert the accused." "I will take my oath that I never saw George Glenister, alive or dead after he went to America." "And I don't believe you on oath or anyhow," returned Kathleen "I am as firmly convinced you are responsible for my brother's death and that he died at Beechwood as if I had seen you kill him. As to marrying you, the proposition would have been almost as absurd if all this had not happened." The baronet had recovered "Then let us come to grips!" he broke out. "Here is my ultimatum. If you don't marry me I will make your name socially damned up and down the land. Captain Slater was seen to come out of your room late at night." "You beast!" her fresh young voice found vent at last. "The true story of that night would do you far more harm than me. You know very well what Captain Sister and I set out to discover, and how we were thwarted because you heard us following. In a day or two I shall be able to tell the world—and incidentally the police—a good deal more about you. Oh. Norman, you are just in this time." The last sentence was addressed to Captain Sister, who had entered the drawing room. The young soldier took in the situation at a glacier. Here was all the material for a most lovely row. "What am I in time for? What's the racket?" he inquired quietly and with a measuring eye on the baronet. In a few crisp words Kathleen told him how her cousin had made her an offer of marriage and described in Dudley's own language the alternative he own threatened. Norman listened to the unpleasant recital ceased, and then there commenced a scene as lady Marrabies' decorous drawing-room had never been set for in all the hundrum history. Norman's rush was that of a maddened bull and would have been his own undoing Glenister been an adept in the art of self-defense. Quickly recognizing that he might be courting disaster, Norman checked his existence and introduced a little sclerosis into his method. Two or three sideghammer blows did the bigger man aim, but they fell on empty air and thance onward the fractures became a brutal assault. Up and down the room Sir Dudley stumbled, kicking over furniture and crashing into low-hung pictures with his agile assistant ever in pursuit and administering punishment to the handiest part of his anatomy. His curses gave way to labored breathing and finally he crumpled up and lay sprawling over the end of a couch. "There you swine!" said the easy victor. "That'll teach you." Before the lesson to be learned by Sir Duncley could be defined the door was opened and a man stepped in and hurriedly. He wore side-shakers and a mustache, and dressed in a suit of drab reach-medowns. He bore no resemblance to the clean-shaved cleric who had been sent to the Mission half of the Mission to Blackfoot Inlands, and his voice was like the crack of a whip.

FIRE DOES NEARLY MILLION HIVE-REPORT NEGRO SECTION 1 (Preston News Service.) Shreveport, La., Sept. 11.—More than fourteen blocks in the residential section, mostly inhabited by Negroes, had been destroyed by fire at midnight Friday while firemen looked on helplessly because of the lack of water due to the bursting of the city main. The fire was gradually eating its way toward the business section of the city and was sweeping through the Negro section. It is said that most of the homes occupied by Negroes were of frame construction and formed relishing age in the Negro section was estifood for the greedy flames. Dammated late Friday night as being close to a million dollars. Under the hampered conditions indications are that millions of dollars' worth of damage will be done before the conflagration is brought under control. Residents in all sections of the city were making preparations to leave their home, some saving as much of their household effects as possible. No adequate estimate can be made as to the damage the fire will do or how many will be made homeless. Many homes have been dynamited in order to confine the fire to as small a section as possible.

Hayden: Thirteen years age twelve leading physician of my city treated me for Kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try be fore being operated on.

A 408th Ave. Richmond Va. --- monials from the Secretary of War and Army Officers of high rank and reputation are set forth in no uncertain terms. 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 spirted regiment that has been under my command at this cantonment. I predicted last fall that Colonel Moss would have the best regiment stationed here and you men have made my prediction come true. I would lead you in battle against any army in the world with every confidence in the outcome". THE NEGRO IN THE NAVY. More than fifty pages of the Book devoted to the Achievements of the Negro in the American Navy—Guarding the Trans-Atlantic Route to France—Battling the Submarine Peril—The Best Sailors in any Navy in the World—Making a Navy in Three Months from Negro Stevedores and Laborers—Wonderful Accomplishments of Our Negro Yeomen and Yeowomen. As we have fought for the rights of mankind and for the future peace and security of the world, the people want to be correctly and fully informed of the facts concerning OUR Heroes—and this is THE Book they are looking for. THE ONLY HISTORY THAT WILL FULLY SATISFY, THE AMERICAN COLORED PEOPLE This Book appeals to the Colored People. They are eager to buy it. Why—Because it is the only War Book published that thrillingly, graphically, yet faithfully describes the wonderful part that the Colored Soldier has taken in the World War, and is absolutely fair to the Negro. It relates to the world how 300,000 Negroes crossed the North Atlantic, braving the terrors of the Submarine Peril, to battle for Democracy. The loyalty and patriotism that characterized the black man's nature his sublimie self-sacrifice, his indisputable bravery, the wisdom of Negro Officers in command of their own troops. A NEW REVISED BOOK WITH PEACE TERMS—750 Pages I was cured of a very bad case of Rheumatism by two bottles of L. J. Hayden's wonderful Herb Medicine, after suffering a long time with the dreadful disease. I was unable to move hand or foot, and after I had taken three doses of the medicine I was able to get out of my bed and walk across the floor, and only two bottles of the medicine had made me a perfectly well man in every respect. I cannot give Mr. L. J. Hayden too much praise for what he has done for me. I have sent many other suffering ones to him and they have also gotten cured. My daughter was also cured of Rheumatism and Indigestion by L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine, No. 210 W. Broad Street Richmond, Va. I remembered that L. J. Hayden as one of the greatest healers of the sick on earth. Respectfully. J. D. TAYLOR. 2419 Grace St. Richmond Va
