STABBED TO DEATH 15 Year Old Boy Kills Married Man Gruesome Tragedy in Penitentiary Bottom. Detailed Description of Murder. Deplorable Conditions. VOLUME XLII. NO. 52 STA TO 15 Year Ma Gruesome Tr tom--Detail Depl Royal Wash ngon, known here as Zeb Thompson was cut to death Saturday night, October 31st in what is known as Penitentiary. Bottom, but the trouble originated in a house in the rear of 210 S. Second Street. The coroner's inquest with Coroner James M. Whitfield presiding, was held in the Coroner's office in the City Hall. Wednesday, November 4. Detective Gordon P. Smith, being sworn, testified that he had talked with Ernest Anderson the 15-year-old youth, who did the cutting. He was at the Police Headquarters and told him that he was at Halle Anderson's house, in the rear of 210 S. Second Street, when Zeb Thompson stepped on his foot. He said to Thompson, "What in the hell did you mean by stepping on my foot?" Thompson said, "I beg your pardon." SMACKED HIM DOWN Then they got to arguing until Thompson said to Anderson, "You had better go away. I am going to smack you down". Thompson then smacked him down on the bed and left the house and went out into the side alley. Ernest pulled out his knife while on the bed. He was advised not to go out but he went into the alley and stabbed Thompson in the back upon finding him in the alley. He cut him once in the back. Thompson was apparently drinky, and he ran as the knife struck him. Robert Johnson tripped Thompson up and Ernest Anderson ran and snuck him again. REPEATEDLY STABBED HIM. He cut him while he was down on the ground. Herman Logan, a boy grabbed Ernest and held him and Robert Johnson demanded that he release Ernest Anderson. Then Thompson got up and Robert Johnson tripped him again and Ernest Anderson cut him again. Thompson as also known as Royal Washington and his people live at Ayden, N. C. Ernest made this statement to me after his arrest and while at Police Headquarters. Dr. James M. Whitfield, Jr., acting Resident Surgeon of St. Philips' Hospital testified that Zeb Thompson was brought to the hospital about 9 o'clock on the night of October 31st. He had a wound in the throat, left side of the jaw almost to the bottom of the left side of the neck. AWFUL. WOUNDS It was about two and one-half inches long. He had a cut in the back about three inches from the spine. Over the left shoulder was another cut about an inch long. He had slight abrasions on both knees. He had a cut under the right shoulder blade about two inches long. His windpipe was severed. He died 3:15 P.M. Sunday, 1st inst. at the hospital. Herman Logan was sworn and deposed. "I live at 1652 Taylor Street. I was down there on my sister's that night. When Thompson was cut, I was standing talking to him at the mouth of the alley. Ernest Anderson can in the alley coming up behind Thompson and cutting him in the JOHNSON HELPED I have been knowing Ernest An- derson for about a year. He cut Zeb Thompson three times to my knowing. Zeb ran. He had been drinking. Ernest ran and stuck him again. The other boy threw Zeb Thompson down. I caught Ernest and told him not to cut Thompson again. He was drunk. Johnson threw his arm around me and broke him loose. Zeb Thompson ran and Ernest cut him again in the back. I was after the second cutting that I grabbed Ernest". BODY SHIPPED Zeb Thompson roamed at 509 N. Third Street. The body was turned over to Funeral Director Robert C. Scott, who carried it to his morgue at 2223 E. Main Street, where it was prepared for shipment to Ayden N. C. and later placed on the Atlantic Coast Line train Wednesday, 4th inst. at 1 P. M. The dead man was apparently about 30 years of age and money to pay the expense was wired to Funeral Director Scott by Fred Washington, father of the deceased. Royal Washington roomed at Mrs. Royster's residence here. A SUNDAY MORNING SERVICE. Rev. A. W. Brown's Eloquence. I visited the Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church last Sunday morning and dropped into the first vacant seat I saw there near the door. I was listening to the new chimes in the organ, which had a fur-away sound as Organist J. L. Woolfoll fingered the keys. I had not been sitting there long when an usher approached me and insisted upon my going to the front, where I was comfortably seated again. Then the collection was liked totalling $127.00. Many preachers occupied seats on the rostrum. The choir was attired in white surplices and rendered selections in keeping with the occasion. DIRECT TO THE HEART. DIRECT TO THE HEART. Rev. A. W. Brown approached the sacred desk and took as his subject, "Regeneration" and his text from the third chapter of John. He spoke in a conversational, explanatory tone and when he laid the basis for his sermon, he proceeded to appeal to that large congregation, which by this time occupied every vacant seat in this spacious edifice including the gallery. General Contractor Lincoln Butler was an interested listener. We do not understand this man, for we are puzzled to account for his rare, eloquent oratorical powers, which fix the attention of his hearers and sway them at will as apparently forgetful of self, he makes appeals, which awaken one's consciousness and go direct to the heart. He is a wonder. EFFECT ELECTRICAL The effect was electrical and he engaged in oratorical gestures, strode from one part of the pulpit to the other, while his language, which is chaste English, brought forth a veritable torrent of sentences, which riveted the attention and elected enthusiastic approval from all parts of the church. He had concluded and after a few preliminaries was prepared to go, but not before Deacon RICHMOND VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1925 Branch had announced that he would guarantee the return of any property lost in the church. A sister asked for the return of a parasol left there and a ready response came from one of the female members that she had it. LOST AND FOUND. Then he spoke again and told of a sister, who had lost her pocketbook in the church. It contained some silver and paper money. This was one time that it was expected that the Deacon would lose out, but later he held up the pocketbook and it was passed to the owner. It partook of the nature of wizardry. Hew. Brown then spoke of the support he had received from The Planet and the attitude of its editor towards his work. He wanted me to say a word. I said it. He came down from the rostrum calling on sinners to accept the Lord. A preacher came down singing, "Come to Jesus," in which the whole congregation stood up and joined. THE CONCLUSION For about five minutes a veritable religious jubilee followed. Rev. Brown called on the choir to sing the closing selection. He announced the benediction and the congregation filed out well satisfied with the services just concluded in the Sixth Mount: Zion Baptist Church. JOHN MITCHELL, JR. --- Mr. Guy Smith, of Philadelphia, paid a flying visit to his home town last Sunday and he was looking the picture of health, after being absent from here for more than nine years. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Smith, of East Sixteenth Street, Southside. He met a number of bis old friends and club members and a jolly good time was had. Mr. Smith left Sunday evening for the City of Brotherly Love midst the best wishes of bis many friends. PREDICTS DEMPSY WILL NOT FIGHT. WILLS. Publicity Man, Quitting Champion, Sees Invalidation of Contract. LOS ANGELES. Nov.—Rob Roy Benton, publicity director and counsellor of Jack Dempsey, world's heavyweight champion, announced tonight that he was resigning from the champion's employ, rather than become a party to what he described as an imminent invalidation of the Fitzsimmons contract for a bout between Dempsey and Harry Wills, the negro challenger next year. The publicity man declared that cused of failure to fulfill terms of Fitzsimmons would be formally acct the contract, verifying stories to that effect already circulated by Rav Cannon, Milwaukee attorney. Benton charges that Cannon, although ostensibly Dempsey's attorney, is in the employ of Jack Kearns, Dempsey's former manager. Benton avers that Kearns is in reality behind the move to nullify the contract, as he desires to match Dempsey in two fights before the expiration next August of the contract with Kearns still holds with the champion, despite the fact that Kearns no longer is actively connected with the fighter.

The vote was very meager, about one-sixth of the potential vote in this city being recorded. BOSTON RETURNS TO REPUBLICANS. Malcolm E. Nichols Scores Decisive Victory in Fight For Mayoralty.

MOB LOSES BOUT WITH FAITH FULTFX SAHRIFE They Broke Into the Jail, All Right, R. N. N. T. J. H. J. L. But not as they Had Planned. MARSHALL, TEXAS. — Sheriff John C. Sanders, of Harrison county, has again demonstrated that a courageous officer, determined to stand his ground, is more than a match for the average mob. Some days ago two Negroes killed some white men in a controversy in an adjoining county. Mob violence was threatened and the prisoners were brought here for safe keeping. A mob followed and started to storm the jail. Sheriff Sanders urged them to disperse and all but thirteen left. These persisted, however, and the plucky sheriff arrested the whole thirteen and locked them up. This makes five cases in Texas this year in which mobs sent on lynching faithful rl have been successfully defied by faithful sheriffs, backed by public opinion. In one case, that in Dallas, a member of the mob was killed by officers defending their prisoner. The War in Morocco. Riffians Still Fighting French and Spanish Troops Are Checked--Cannot Advance.

(Philadelphia, Pa. Christian Review) The Holy Trinity Baptist Church, one of the leading churches of our city, is giving her pastor, Rev. Dr. W. F. Graham, a great anniversary which will go down in history as one of the greatest in church annals. This church was founded thirty-four years ago by Rev. R. W. Christian, D. D., a great orator and preacher. He was succeeded by the late Rev. Y. L. P. Tailferafo, D. D., during whose ministry their present magnificent church structure adorns 19th and Bainbridge streets, whose spiritual spires will ever play to the skies. The church is composed of some of the best and most cultured citizens many of whom had previously built monuments of intellectual and artistic splendor. These divines played a noble part in the drama of their mystic lives. They having played their respective part, the curtain of time dropped on the sacred scene. In 1911 Holy Trinity was without a pastor. One of the most difficult tasks of a church is calling a pastor, as the call frequently turns the tide of a church. In thirty-four years, the church has had only three pastors. The membership of the church at this time was rather small, only 175. With this small membership, a call was extended Dr. W. F. Graham, who was pastoring one of the largest churches in Richmond, Va., a city famous for its large and progressive churches. In this call, the church was extremely felicitous in its choice. The church went up by leaps and bounds and soon soared from a plain to a mountain. Now it easily takes its place among the largest and most influential churches in America, having ten thousand members, of real Missionary Baptists that stand for Home and Foreign Missions and educational work. Marvelous success has attended all his ministerial and radial work. It has literally been transformed into a thing of beauty, a joy forever, the garden of the Lord. The harassing debt of $27,000, which bung as a black cloud over the church when he acceded the call, we soon wined out, and disappeared as a morning mist, as Dr. Graham is a born financier. It stands now free of all debts, and a wealth of excellent properties. When it comes to Dr. Graham's achievements, he is a beacon light, a founder, a race leader, an intrepid and uncompromising prelate, an organizer, and originator. He is a native son of Mississippi born a slave. He is graduate of several reputable colleges and seminaries standing in the galaxy of scholars and men of letters. Like some other great men, his success has been largely augmented by his nuptial queen, Mrs. Josephine Graham, one of the most refined ladies of the land, and co-student and graduate with him of Wayland Seminary now a part of Virginia Union University. This cultured lady has figured conspicuous in his ministerial life, and contributed to his phenomenal success. She wields a gentle sceptre that charms her environments. She is an excellent church worker and has magical power to organize her forces, and is the 'power behind the throne'. In summing up the dignitaries of earth who have written their names on the steeps of time and who shall inscrall their names in the archives of the great, the name of Dr. Wesley P. Graham will appear in letters of gold. "The paths of virtue though seldom those of worldly greatness are always those of pleasantness and peace. Without courage there cannot be truth, and without truth there can be other virtue". You can always get prompt service down-town or anywhere else in this town or state by calling up W. A.

Fighting Troops Are Advance. te Independence. French Troop Go Into Winter Quarters, But Riffs "Carry On." LONDON, Nov.—The indications that the French troops in Morocco are preparing to go into winter quarters does not mean that there will be a cessation of fighting, says a dispatch to the Daily Mail, for if the Riffs live up to their reputation, they will harry the French and also the Spaniards after their own fashion of warfare. Ridiculing reports that Abd-El-Krim, leader of the rebellious Moroccan tribesmen, is at the end of his tether and surrounded, by tribesmen who have revolted, the correspondent says such stories never emanated from French headquarters. He adds that Abd-El-Krim probably is reasonably satisfied with his position and that, seemingly, he still has plenty of money, weapons and reserves. GUERILLA WARFARE REPORTED IN SYRIA. LONDON, Nov.—A message from Jerusalem to the National Political League says that the guerrilla warfare has spread over vast areas in Syria between Damascus and Homs, eighty miles north of Damascus on the railroad, and is shaking French control of the mandated region. Another message says that eleven villages in the Damascus district have joined the guerrillas, who are beeing four towns. Jerusalem reports also say that foreigners and native women are leaving Damascus by the thousands, but that native men are forbidden to leave. A report published by the Daily Express that Great Britain has protested to France against allowing Turkish troops to cross Syrian territory under French mandate is said in official uarters to be unfounded. The treaty of Angora between France and Turkey gives Turkey the right to move a certain number of troops across the mandated region provided that a corresponding strength is returned. The British Foreign Office holds the view that as yet nothing has happened calling for a protest. Turks Cause No Alarm. PARIS, Nov.—The passage of Turkish troops across Syria, reported by an English newspaper, was said in diplomatic circles today to be effected in accord with agreements previously reached between the French and Turkish Governments. The situation contains no elements of tension, it was added. The explanation was made that the Turkish forces in the usual course of their journey to Mesopotamia have no other way but to cross the territory held under French mandate. Arabs Call a General Strike. (Copyright, 1925, by The New York Times Company). Special Cable to The New York Times. JERUSALEM, Nov.—Arab leaders following the initiative of Jaffa proclaimed today a general strike throughout the country as making the annual protest against the Balfour declaration, but this year more especially as a protest against the conduct of the French in Syria. The response in Jaffa and Jerusalem was incomplete and only a slight response in Haifa. Arab leaders are organizing a collection of funds for Damascus victims, who number 50,000, according to local reports. FRANCE PICK MEN BY LOTTERY FOR SERVICE IN RIFFIAN WAR.

This question, raised by the court-martial proceedings now in progress at Washington against Col. William B. Mitchell, bids fair to be settled definitely, one way or another, by the time the trial ends. Col. Mitchell, the fiery, outspoken critic of the government's aviation policies, knew that he would be arrested and tried when he issued his blast against his superiors officers. He risked it because of his desire to arouse the people of the country to what he believed was a grave weakness in the national defense. An officer's right to free speech was secondary consideration to him. Not that it did not interest him, for it did, greatly; but first and foremost he wanted to get some sort of action on aviation. But to one who has no ax to grind on connection with the air policy, this secondary point is fully as interesting as the first. For years army officers have intimated privately that they dared not speak their minds. An officer who voiced his opinion on any current issue without first submitting his views to his superiors for censorship, they asserted, would be squeaked promptly and quietly. Admiral Sims tried it once, in the navy, when he was a young officer. He criticized the navy's gunnery system, loudly and without reserve. The navy's leaders prepared to sit on him. But President Roosevelt had a better idea. He put Sims in charge of gunnery and told him to try out his ideas. If they worked, well and good; if they didn't—well, it would be too to Sims. As it happens, they worked and Sims was vindicated. Mitchell's case is different, of course; but the same old question of free speech is raised. Through his counsel, Mitchell asserts that the constitutional guarantees of free speech protect him. Because of these guarantees, he contends the army cannot punish him for his statements. The two officials have elected to meet Mitchell on this ground. The courtmarshal is unable to appear. THE MASTER truth or falsity of Mitchell's charges about the air service; it is merely called to decide whether, as a subordinate officer, he can be punished for making those charges at all. The issue thus is clearly defined. A civilian can say such things without fear; the constitution protects him against the wrath of any army officer. have the same liberty, or anything approaching it? Does the constitution protect his right of expressing"his opinion or does he give up that right when he enters the army? That is the issue that is to be determined—whether by the court-martial or by some civil court—before the Mitchell case is finally closed. ```markdown ``` PETER H.

News-Leader, we are able to reproduce an excellent picture of the station here. COL. HENRY W. ANDERSON'S address or sermon as it should be properly called, delivered at Norfolk, Fig. October 30th, 1925 was about the most terse, able explanatory analysis of existing conditions that we have yet noted. It came too late. The slump in the Democratic vote may have been the reply thereto. Provided it was, it goes to show that while the voters of the State have lost confidence in the Democratic management, they have not found confidence in the present managers of Republican politics in Virginia. DR. FOSDICK AT GENEVA. WE HAVE received a copy of a sermon by Harry Emerson Fosdick, D. D. entitled "A Christian Conscience 'About War'". The text is from Matthew 26:52, "All that they take up the sword shall perish with the sword". At the annual meetings of the League of Nations, held in Geneva, Switzerland in September of each year, sermons are preached in the Cathedral of Geneva under the auspices of the League and this year that honor was conferred upon the distinguished pupil orator, who arose grandly to the occasion and delivered a masterpiece of religious oratory, which will go thundering down the ages. It is needless to say that had Dr. Fosdick delivered this same sermon in this country during the World War, his arrest and imprisonment would have been a practical certainty. His offense would have been declared treasonable. Today, he can be heard and listened to with a feeling of friendliness and admiration, which indicates that the terrible result of this insane mania to kill has had its effect upon the world and tended to cause even the most radical to regard his utterances with studied consideration. Nearing a conclusion, Harry Emerson Fosdick says: "I need not, and I must not press the analysis further. Two generations ago one of our great statesmen, Charles Sumner, said, "Not that I love country less, but Humanity more, do I row and here plead the cause of a higher and truer patriotism, I cannot forget that we are men by a more sacred bond than we are citizens—that we are children of a common Father more than we are Americans". Shall not each one of us here pray for his own country, so I pray earnestly for mine, that shrub may come into the ascendency? Christianity essentially involves it." Surely "The stone which the builders rejected is become the head of the corpse." DE O J ALLEN COMING On Wednesday, November 11, 1925 Dr. O. J. Allen, pastor of the First Calvary Baptist Church of Norfolk Va. will begin a ten days revival meeting at the First Baptist Church, Richmond, Va., Dr. W. T. Johnson, pastor. The public is most cordially invited to be present at each of the services. In addition to the preaching and singing of Rev. O. J. Alen, a large Revival Chorus will render sweet music each n'ight.

BYRD ELECTED (Continued From Page 1) in returns received up to midnight in today's nominally nonpartisan election, reports from 270 of the 339 precincts gave Nichols 48,448 votes, a safe lead of 13,530 over his nearest competitor, Theordre G. Lynn, fire commissioner, who had the backing of Mayor James M. Curley. Re-Elect Akron Mayor. AKRON, OHIO. Nov.-Reports from 120 precincts out of 210 indicate that Mayor D. C. Ryebelt will be re-elected for his third term by a comfortable majority. His vote will more than equal that of his two rivals. Councilman Kyle Moss and Ross F. Walker. Four anti-klan candidates for the school board are certain of election, it is believed. This will end klan control of Akron's schools. The three councilmen at large will Republicans. Independent Defeated SPRINGFIELD, ILL., Nov.—William H. Crum, nominated as the regular Republican candidate for County Judge and having the support of Governor Small, appears to have been elected in today's Sangamon County election.) He defeats Ormamel B. Irwin, Republican, who was nominated by Heddon as an independent with the endorsement of numerous civic and church organizations. Klan, Republican, Ticket, Wins. GARY, IND., Nov.—Republicans of Hammond probably have elected their entire city ticket on the basis of early return tonight. In scattered returns Adrian Tinkham, Republican candidate for mayor, was leading Dr. D. W. Weis, Democrat, by a three to one margin. The Klan supported the Republican ticket. Democrats Lose in Indiana. INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Nov.—The Republican party elected its city ticket in Indianapolis, headed by John L. Duvall for mayor, and wrested Evansville, La Fayette and other important cities from Democratic control in today's municipal election. With unofficial returns practically complete in Indianapolis, Duvall had 45,899; Myers, 38,032. The Republicans lost the South Bend mayoralty, which they held. The Republican State committee conducted the mayoralty campaign on party lines. Republican Wins in Lockport: LOCKPORT, N. Y., Nov.-Dr. Frank J. Moyer, regular Republican candidate, defeated Mayor Ernest B. Crosby, for re-election today. Crosby ran on an independent ticket. Moyer received 3,381 votes and Crosby 2,618. O. K. Sharpe, Democratic candidate, ran third with 2,013. Anti-Klan Candidate Wins DETROIT, MICH., Now—The first twenty precints officially reported from the ity Hall at 11:30 P. M., gave Mayor Smith 2,124 to 1,786 for Bowles, a lead of 344. At the same hour Smith's headquarters had tabulated eighty-six of the 583 precincts unofficially and had this result; Smith, 21,367; Bowles, 15,630. CLOSE BEHIND BYRD. All Democratic nominees with the exception of Mr. Purcell were close behind Mr. Byrd in all the districts. The following were elected: Lieutenant-Governor, Junius E. West; Attorney-General, John R. Saunders; Secretary of the Commonwealth, B. O. James; Superintendent of Public Instruction, Harris Hart; Commissioner of Agriculture, Koiner; Corporation Commissioner, Louis S. Epes. Mr. Bassett will carry his own district—the Fifth—by a big majority. He was running neck and neck with Purcell in the Sixth, but these are the only two districts which the Henry County man can hope to carry, unless early reutrs from the Ninth were distinctly misleading; Danville, a Ku-Klux Klan stronghold, gave Bassett a majority of 314 votes. It was the first time since readjuster days that a Republican has defeated a Democrat in that city. The strength of the Klan in Danville was attested in the primary, also, when Arch Williams received an even larger majority over Purcell. DESERT PARTY BANNER Amazement was expressed by many when they learned that hundreds of supposedly faithful Democrats had deserted the party banner and gone into the camp of the enemy, for no apparent cause, except, perhaps, that of denominational preference of the candidate himself. He had grown up in the office of State Treasurer from an under clerk to the head of the office, reaching the latter through appointment by a Democratic Governor, the records show. The small vote cast in the metropolitan city in this important election is attributed by many to the fact that hundreds who felt the moral obligation to be impelling, did not care to feel forced to vote a mongrel ticket, and, therefore, remained away from the polls altogether. Even at that, though, conservative men declare, there is little excuse for the small vote. Purcell, in the primary, got 10,874 votes in Richmond. What became of that vote? ask those who have been working overtime to arouse Democrats to their duties. And then there were 5,338 cast for Williams, another Democrat, Purcell's opponent for the nomination, in that election; what became of that? they ask. PUBLIC FUNERAL FOR NEGRO.

RICHMOND' VIRGINIA today with announcement that more elaborate ceremonies had been arranged. Clergymnats of three denominations, Methodist, Presbyterian and Roman Catholic, will join in officiating, and the combined choirs of the three churches will sing. The township has purchased a lot in Union Cemetery, the burial ground of the oldest and most aristocratic families in South Jersey, and will erect a fitting memorial over the grave. Underhill conducted a general store in Mays Landing, the county seat, and was a favorite with children. His two sisters, living in Nebraska, received bequests of $500 each. COVERNOR PLEASED TO SEE MINISTERS. RALEIGH, N. C.—Nov.—One of the most interesting conferences Governor McLean has had in a long time, he says, was one a few days ago with three members of the negro race. Nicholas and Noah Shamburger, ministers in the negro Methodist Episcopal Church, called on the Governor, bringing with them their bishop, Bishop Clair, who was here presiding over the annual conference of the church, which adjourned on Sunday. The two Shamburgers, both now ministers of their church, Nicholas—or "Nick"—as the Governor calls him, being the pastor of a large negro church in Chicago, were known to the Governor when he was a boy. "They worked on my father's farm," Governor McLean stated, "and we were plow boys together." "They came to extend their congratulations," the executive explained. In answer to a question as to whether he thought the negroes, too, deserved congratulations, the Governor replied: "Yes, indeed. I did congratulate them. It was an exchange of congratulations." The Governor expressed his pleasure in seeing the two ministers, as well as the bishop of the church, and declared that he enjoyed the conference greatly. (Continued from page 1) Painleve, Premier and Minister for War, those of the young conscripts called for service in Morocco are to be chosen by the drawing of lots. France, in common with the other Continental countries, has a compulsory period of army service, from eighteen months to two years, that must be undergone by every young man as a training. Whenever there is a smallish war, like the present trouble in Morocco, the voice of the country is raised in protest if any of the youths called up for ordinary military training service are sent to the active front, it being popularly felt that any but the very largest wars should be attended to by the regular army. This decision to select by lot will, it is thought, be recognized as a 'sporting proposition," giving every one an equal chance of avoiding the unpleasant duty. It contains also, possibly, a tacit admission that the Rifflin war is too big to be dealt with exclusively by France's professional soldiers. The new decree further stipulates that any of the young conscripts called up for their military service who make special request (as many do) to go to Morocco on active service will be allowed to go. They will, in fact, constitute the first class to be sent overseas. After them "according to our needs, and after the other resources provided * * * have been called upon and used up," the youths accomplishing their eighteen months' training will be taken alphabetically. The letter at which the calling begins is to be determined for each contingent by the drawing of lots. Except at their own request, all young men who are married and have children, or are widowed and have children, or are the oldest sons of widows with families, or the oldest of orphan families dependent upon them, or who have already a member of their family in active service, or two members of whose families were killed in the great war, are exempt from Moroccan service until further notice. Provision is made for the total or part exemption of certain other classes on the lines already laid down hydrothetically in 1923. Preference as regards exemption from active service is, curiously, given to members of large families. This is a peculiarity of French administration. Our own attitude, and that of the English when they finally were obliged t oadopt conscription during the late war, was that consideration should be given as far as possible to only sons, particularly only sons of widows. France is severely practical. Her depopulation problem is acute. At all costs the large family must be encouraged. France regards the woman who has had only one child as having failed in her duty to her country and shows favor in every way to youths whose mothers have the largest families. The measure providing for drawing by lot is to come into force immediately. WANTED—AGENTS TO SELL OUR Line of Gooda Everywhere. Fine Proffits. Quick Sellers. Big Offer Free.

It is a very common complaint, as every practicing physician knows. Its care becomes a problem to many families who number older folks among their treasures. To old people, life and comfort are paramount blessings. Cough mixtures are legion, and many are palliative but seldom curative. Indeed, proper conduct does more permanent good than medicine. The "fresh air crank" comes in and demands the inevitable wide-open windows. No matter how cold—how damp—and how laden with floating gases and micro-organisms, the windows must be open, and the cough goes on, to the distress of the sufferer and of those about him. To stupify such patients with narcotic cough mixtures is the general rule, but how futile! Remember this: Warm air may be just as pure as cold, and is usually much more comforting than cold night air. Bedrooms should invariably be "aired out" thoroughly during the day. Beds are much healthier un-made, and allowed to air thoroughly. When night comes, close the windows, and allow as little change of temperature as possible in the bedroom till morning. Do not close bedroom doors if the sleeping apartment is small and this suggests airing the entire residence as often as necessary for pure air, but do it in daytime. Sleeping-rooms should be where bright sunlight can enter freely during the day. And, remember this: Cold night-air never benefitted a cough—on the contrary, it aggravates and prolongs the difficulty. Night-airs are laden with impurities, and, in winter, chill the delicate respiratory membranes, bevoid their recuperative power. The careful bedroom is not an "old force" idea.

The bodice of the dress is fitted very slightly to the figure and cut in six pointed scallops at the bottom. These scallops are finished with bias bindings. The dress is made with a plain foundation of the chifon. There are two tiers of the chifon draperies, six on each row. The easiest way to shape these draperies pieces is to cut squares of twenty-seven inches dimensions. Then cut off the upper corner of each square as shown in the diagram at the right. The drapery pieces are then sewn in place at the top only, the rest being allowed to fall as it will. The edges may be plotted or rolled and whipped. One and one-half yards of the crepe de Chine and five and a half yards of fifty-four inch chifon will be needed to make this dress. West Heard From AUTOGASTER Gov.

Among the passengers was Alf Grinstead, Captain Slater's man, who had been picked up half-conscious on the road after an accident had befallen his motorcycle. So fast did they traverse that Grinstead had hardly taken his seat in the big limousine when the pretty lady who had played the Good Samaritan to him so graciously blew through the speaking-tube and bade the chauffeur halt. "Got there. Maudie?" piped Mr. Womersley from the recesses of his fur coat. "What a damned dreary spot!" he added, opening the door and stepping out into the road. "You are in charge now, since you know the ropes." "Miss Blair" took capable command, explaining that the cars could go no nearer their destination. There was no practicable road to the clearing in the woods where the film was to be "registered." They would have to walk, and the electricians and camera men would have to carry the implements of their respective trades. Alf Grinstead listened with all his Alf Grinstead listened with all his ears—ears that had been frost-bitten ALF LIT ANOTHER MATCH AND TOOK A LONGER SURVEY OF THE FRIGHTENED FUGI TIVE. in Flanders. "If that's what you're going to do, miss," he said, "I'd better tip on in front of the rest of the blooming show and get busy. I've got to start that fire for you and I expect the boss will be waiting for me according to arrangement. There's more than the scraping of a match to putting an old mill into a proper blaze. It requires scientific preparation." Mr. Womersley was delighted with the zeal of the incendiary expert whom they had retrieved from the wreck of his motorcycle and who, having been engaged direct by Sir Dudley Glenister, would cost the Syndicate nothing. "This lad's a bit of all right, ain't he. Maudie?" said the showman. "Just set his feet on the narrow way that leads to the destruction of the mill while I put these Johnnes wise to their duties." All promised all due caution, and climbing the stile he started on his tramp through the wood. As he stepped out he pondered the curious injunction just given him. He thoroughly acquitted the film actors of any evil designs. If their presence had any bearing on his quest for his master he was convinced that they were only duped. But he was convinced that Sir Dudley was the sinister figure behind the mystery, and it might be that it the Your Birthday is in this week NOVEMBER 8-14 If your birthday is this week you are proud, conservative, and independent—with a secretive and judicial nature. Your perception is remarkably keen, and your intuition is exceptional. You possess an indomitable will power, and are capable of exercising a remarkable influence over others. You are irresistibly attracted by enterprises and projects characterized by novelty, sharing and uncertainty, and are always looking for new field to conquer. Self-satisfaction is strongly marked in these people. They are inclined to live too much within themselves, becoming sad and disheartened, suffering much through disappointment. The women usually have very fine voices, and become great singers, public speakers and musicians. The men are admirably fitted to be doctors, surgeons, or dentists. BEGIN HERE TODAY SIR DUDLEY GLENISTER, English baronet, believed to be the murderer of his cousin, James Glenister, to obtain the estate and title, makes prisoners of— KATHLEEN GLENISTER, sister of the dead man, and her lover, Norman Slater He visits Slater in the old mill, and tells him that the building is to be burned unless Kathleen promises to marry him, but— INSPECTOR WRAGGE of Scotland Yard, working on the murder case, meets Stephen Colne, who for unexplained reasons wants Sir Dudley arrested immediately NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "I have tried to get the information from Miss Glenister, sir," he replied bitterly, "but bad luck dugged me again. The young lady had disappeared under mysterious circumstances which on the surface point to her having eloped with Captain Norman Slater." The inspector's revelation had an extraordinary effect on Mr Colne—far greater than the failure of this source of information would account for "So Miss Kathleen is missing?" he purred softly. "If I could show you where to find her, Wragge, and prove to you that she had been put out of the way by Sir Dudley Glenister in order to stifle the evidence you want from her you wouldn't have any qualms about arresting him, eh?" "It would simplify matters," Wragge conceded gravely. "Come with me then," said Mr. Coline, "and I will remove the last shred of doubt as to the scoundrel's guilt. What you have told me about Miss Glenister probably explains something that has been plunging my curiosity. You can manage a two-hole walk?" "Try me," replied Wragge grimly. "But pardon a suggestion, sir. If you are correct in guessing that you have reason to believe that Miss Glenister is being forcibly detained ought we not to take assistance? With all respect, you and I couldn't put up much of a scrap if the young lady is strongly guarded. Hadn't I bettering up the county police and have a couple of constables sent on?" "By no means." was the rejoinder. "A pretty fool I should look if by any chance I have made a mistake Our present expedition is by way of being only a reconnaissance. Then. If things turn out as I expect, we can procure help and return in force to the rescue." "And, incidentally, to put a rope around the neck of Mr. George Glenister's murderer," remarked Wragge with gusto. "That of course," said Mr. Colne. "After his exciting interview with Mrs. Congsby, as witnessed and overheard by Wragge from the Whispering Gallery, Sir Dudley found the time drag. Sir Murray it is true there was a brief interlude of activity when Mr. Falcon Womanmersley, whenaging him of "The Maud Film Syndicate" starring Miss Maud Blair," rang him up from London and begged permission to film the old mill. So magnificent was the impudence of the request that the baronet's daughter mood yielded to the humor of it and he allowed himself to be amused. MR FABIAN WOMMERSLEY'S cars, passing through the peace- ful countryside on the business of the Amphibian Film Syndicate. second had not confided in the keeper it was for reasons which would constitute the latter a valuable ally. Groping his way along the bramble-grip path, he suddenly became aware of shambling footsteps coming to meet him to the tune of heart-rending groans. A moment later he came into violent contact with something large and soft and the last of the groans died away in a muffled scream. With soldierly presence of mind Alf had a match alight in a jiffy and was that he had collided with a pallid-faced old man in a swallow-tailed dress coat. The apparition waved its hands feebly and then the match went out. Out of the darkness came the plaintive cry, "For God's sake don't stop me. There's bloody murder going to be done yonder. I am running for the constable." Alf lit another match and took a longer survey of the frightened fugitive. "Look here," he said, with swift intuition recognizing that here was no villain, "just cough up your trouble. I reckon we may be on the same lay. I'm searching for my master. Captain Norman Slater, late of the Rifle Brigade and one of the beat. Who might you be and where's the bloody murder? It might save time if you told me. I'm as good at a scrap as a country bobby any day or night." "I am Hinkley, the butler at the Grange," was the eager reply. And in a flood of tremulous words the terrible tale came tumbling out. How he had learned from a Scotland Yard detective that Miss Glenister and Captain Slater had disappeared and how in consequence of Sir Dudley's strange behavior he had suspected him of foul play toward them. The suspicion had increased when Sir Dudley had arranged to be out that evening on the pretext of having to meet some cinema actors in the keeper's clearing, and it had become unbearable on Sir Dudley angrily refusing him permission to witness the performance. The preposterous idea of staging a film in the middle of the Beechwood covers concealed, he was assured, some sinister design. "He's got them prisoners in the disused water mill," quavered the butter. "It was dusk when I reached the cursed place, but there was light enough to see Miss Kathleen sitting at an upper window. I had speech with her and she told me that she and the captain had been there since yesterday—her above and him below. That devil is coming tonight to burn the mill and them in it if she won't consent to marry him, and he is going to flog the captain first. The bargain he tried to drive with her was that he would spare her life and the captain his flogging if she would give in, but the captain would have to burn anyhow." "One thing is pretty certain. he said. "Your master, old boy, will never be hanged. He must be a rank, raving loony. None the less he's dangerous. We've got to be over the top bally quick for this raid. Deeds, not words, is the motto to night. Did you locate my guv nor?" "The captain is shut up in a locke room on the ground floor. The door is two inches thick. There's no gett ing to him without a key." "Then we must wait till someone hands us one," rejoined Alf. "Now see here, Mr. Hinkley. I know a sport when I see one and you're In. You cut along and fetch that bobby and as many more good men and true as you can rope in. I'll go for ward and attend to things at the mill." "By Gosh, he's a whopper!" mur- mured the scout. "And I'm only a little um. I'd tackle him all right if 'twerent for the gun. I shouldn't be much use to the captain with an ounce of rabbit shot in my guts." But the peril passed. The giant gamekeeper struck into another path that opened in the woods a little to the left and at a different angle. ALF breathed freely again.

The time is fast approaching when we shall gather at Staunton, Va., on November 11-13, inclusive, for the thirteenth annual meeting of the Negro Organization Society. At these sessions, which are largely inspirational, we meet from all over the State of Virginia to discuss conditions relating to health, homes, schools, farms and other allied subjects. We are sincerely hoping this year that the churches, Sunday schools, secret societies, and all other worthy organizations will send to this meeting, delegates who will enter into these discussions, and get inspiration to take back to their several communities. Our society has always been interested in educational and living conditions of our people. We have worked in co-operation with both farm and home demonstrations agents, as well as with the State Board of Health and other allied organizations. During the summer months, we have held educational campaigns, at which time a number of our strong and influential members have gone out into the rural districts, holding meetings bearing upon general improvement. We have met with hearty responses on the part of the people, and wherever we have gone, we have been asked to come again. The one thing we keenly regret is that the lack of facilities and means has hindered us in carrying out our program. There are now a great many good schools available for our group, and we should urge our people to see the necessity and importance of having every child go to school. We have a number of Rosenwald Schools which are a credit to any community. We are trying to impress upon every community the urgent need of getting the very best school possible and employing the most intelligent teachers available. The Negro Organization Society has made some progress, and we feel that we could do a great deal more if all of our group would pull together for one aim—that aim being the general uplift and advancement of our several communities. Our society was the first to make a contribution to the Sanatorium at Burkeville, Va., an institution which has done much to alleviate the suffering of our people. We were aming the first to encourage our people to raise the standard in the schools and to lengthen the school term; we also insisted in inspiring concerted effort for the general improvement of schools in Virginia. We are, therefore, urging all people in the State to co-operate with us in the matter of growth and advancement among our people, intellectually, physically and morally. We need your assistance in putting over a larger and finer program next year. We shall be glad to have you come to this thirteenth annual meeting of the Negro Organization Society, bringing with you enthusiasm and suggestions which we can put into practice in helping and encouraging our people to do more for education and thrift. We are expecting you at Staunton, November 11-13, 1925. Do not fail us. ALLEN WASHINGTON, President.
