Twenty-two forged, checks were placed in evidence The effect of the conviction is to give her practically a life sentence. The Police Court case as stated involved hundreds of peculations and the sum total stolen is said to aggregate fifteen thousand dollars. Some steps should at once be taken to mitigate the sentence. The Judge having pronounced sentence, the only hope rests with Governor Harry F. Byrd, the able Chief Executive of Virginia. The two cases are starting, regardless of the angle from which they may be viewed. COLORED WOMAN GETS THIRTY YEARS IN PEN Sentence of thirty years in the penitentiary was imposed by Judge W. Kirk Mathews in Hustings Court today when Susie Boyd, colored, pleaded guilty to forgery on three indictments. The woman was given ten years on each charge by Judge Mathews. It was stated by her attorney that the total amount of money secured through the forgeries was about $185—Richmond Va. News Leader, June 9, 1926. WHITE WOMAN GETS SUSPENDED SENTENCE A suspended sentence of two years in jail was given Mrs. Annie Schneider, Stop 17 1-2 Westhampton, on two charges of shoplifting, when her case was heard in Police Court before Justice John Ingram yesterday morning. Mrs Schneider, when arrested in April, was alleged by the police to have in her possession merchandise valued at more than $15-000, which she was charged with taking from local stores. A few weeks later, a search of another house adjoining her residence, revealed other merchandise of great value. Judge Ingram in suspending the sentence said: "This action is taken on account of the condition of the defendant, mental and physical and with the understanding that her relatives will place her in a local sanitarium for a minimum period of six months, or until she recovers sufficiently to go live with a daughter in Portsmouth!" Mrs. Schneider was not in court. She was in the office of Justice Ingram, while the case was plead by Attorney Wendenburg. Several members of her family were present, as well as police officers who figured in the arrest. She was tried on two charges other warrants being withdrawn. Charges against a daughter and a young son a minor, were dismissed by Justice Ingram—Richmond, Va.

RICHMOND VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JUNE 12, 1976 5th St. Baptist Church Members Worried. Ask Deacons Questions--Deacon Board Meets Rev. Dr. King. Communication published in the Pittsburgh Courier and the Philadelphia Christian Review concerning the entertainment and sermons of the Rev. Dr. T. J. King, at the Ebenezer Baptist Church of Pittsburgh, Pa., have caused much unrest here. The able pastor of the Fifth Street Baptist Church further than announcing that he had been called to the pastorate of the Ebenezer Baptist Church of Pittsburgh has given no intimation to the officers or members of the Fifth Street Baptist Church as to his intentions in the premises. In the meantime, the Pittsburgh church correspondent has repeatedly referred to Rev. Dr. King, not as pastor elect only, but as pastor, which gives the impression that he has given the Ebenezer Baptist Church officials assurances that he has decided to accept the call and will come to them. Certain members of the Fifth Street Baptist Church have been approaching Chairman J. B. Page and the Deacon board relative to conditions and insisting that they should inform themselves as to the intentions of the pastor. With this idea in view, they held a meeting last Monday night with the Rev. Dr. King present. He is reported to have informed them that he declined to discuss newspaper gossip and accordingly would not give them any information upon this subject. He proposed to continue his efforts to complete the new edifice of the church. This was a disappointment to the deacons, but they consider that they have done their duty so far as they are able so do and the next move must come from the pastor himself. The Cause of the Trouble. The article published in the Christian Review and the Pittsburgh Courer, furnished by the Ebenzer Baptist Church correspondent is as follows: We repoice in thy salivation, and in the name of our God we set up our banners. Having closed a very successful week in our annual May Fair, we are pleased to report it a financial success; and above all the lovely spirit of contact and Christian association were the crowning features. There was a warm welcome for everyone. An interesting program of very rare talent was refreshed each night, to the delight of all listeners. The lecture room was a mass of beauty, having been arranged by a committee of ladies with Mrs. Ruth Mahan as chairman. The officers wish to-thank all who served in any way. Dr. King, our new pastor, was our guest on Friday, which was young peoples' night. So elated was the crowd when he appeared, that it took some time to quiet the audience. Our services on Sunday were in fullest accord as would be expected of Ebenezer. The Sunday school was largely attended, with over 150 children in the primary department, and almost an overflow in the Junior church at which hour they were addressed by Mr. J. S. Owens. At 11:00 o'clock, Dr. T. J. Owens, delivered to a large congregation, the message of the morning, found in the fortieth Psalm, (Continued on page 4) Mr. Carter Not a Party to Midnight Meeting. Proceeds of Check Reached the Grand Lodge Treasury-Cancelled Check and Pass-book in Evidence-Announces Further Discussion in Public Press Ended. Final Appeal at Cleveland. Richmond, Va., June 5, 1926. The artid a which Harry Face publishes over his signature in the Pittsburgh Courier of June 5th, 1928 (which some one has dignified by styling it an 'Answer' to my letter of May 24th) convinces me of the futility of wasting time on one so insensible to the most ordinary rules of fair play. Not one word in his long and puerile diatribe explains why he made the following statements: "The Order of Elks has around $100,000 in cash, $50,000 of which is on deposit in two white banks in Richmond, Virginia. One of these banks pays no interest whatever on a $17,000 deposit they have had for nearly 10 years, while another pays 2 per cent. on $34,000 that has been with them for a long time." "I have sought for many years to have this money properly invested or to be distributed for deposit among the worthy banking institutions operated by our own people. There are only two obstacles in the way. "One of these is the Grand Secretary and the other is the Grand Treasurer both of whom have blocked every effort to put any of this money in colored banks." GUILTY OF A DELIBERATE MISREPRESENTATION. He is guilty of a deliberate misrepresentation of the facts, born out of a desire to deceive the unthinking and play to the grandstand. He dare not attempt to justify these statements; he evades the issues he formerly raised, namely, as to how the Order's funds were deposited, as to the interest earned on same and as to my being an obstacle and had blocked every effort to put any of this money in colored banks. A BLUNDER IN COMPUTATION Pace tries to show that the interest paid by the Virginia Trust Company on the Grand Lodge's deposit in that institution is less than three per cent, per annum. He might not consider it a reflection on his ability to remind him, an ex-banker, that he is computing interest on a checking account the practice is to do so on daily balances rather than on the balance at the end of the year. Pace takes the balance found at the close of the 'odge year 1925 and multiplies that by three per cent; for the entire year, when as a matter of fact the balance fluctuated during the entire year and at one time was less than $21 000 00. I shall not be over-critical however, for Pace has forgetten fundamentals' and become lonelessly entangled in the wilderness of words with which he has burdened the Pittsburgh Corner of this week. (Continued on page 4.) Makes Charges Against the Grand Treasurer---Threatens Other Disclosures. NEWARK N. J., June 3. Although Past Exalted Ruler Harry Pace is not a candidate for the office of treasurer of the I. B. P. O. E. of W., yet James T. Carter, who is now treasurer, has made an attack upon the Pace candidacy, which serves to open the flood gates and give the Brotherhood some interesting data on the record of Brother Carter. Pace answers the Carter attack with burning facts and figures. His article in its entirety follows: There is an old adage, that the hit dog holies. Perhaps that is why Brother James T. Carter. Grand Treasurer of the I. B. P. O. Eks takes his trusty typewriter in hand to make an attack on me in the press of last week. Or maybe it is the desire of Brother Carter to draw attention away from the main matters at issue and try and save his Boss Bates from further exposure. At any rate I am not a candidate for Carter's job Grand Treasurer. I have never attacked Brother Carter, nor impugned his honesty, nor assailed his record, but since he seems desirous of throwing himself into the breach to save his friend and boss, I accept his challenge and I shell in this and in a future statement give him some attention as well as his boss. Since the question has been raised I have the right to say, and I here-with say it that Brother Carter, too has been in his office too long. He too feels that the position which he did nothing to earn belongs to him, and that the Order of Elks owes him the job. If Brother Carter was the only abe man, or the only honest man or the only rich man in the Order there might be some excuse for his holding office for Elks. But there are hundreds of men who are just as honest, just as rich, and just as capable of holding the office (Continued on page 5) SHEPHERD BAND MAKES HIT. The initial appearance of the Shepherds Band was made here last Sunday evening. The occasion was the anniversary exercises of the Improved Order Shepherds and Daughters of Bethlehem.

JOHN ARTHUR JOHNSON Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion of the world, who lost a 10-round bout to Bob Lawson in Juarez Mexico, Sunday, returned to Chicago Wednesday morning suffering from the effects of that fight, in which he is said to have been struck beow the belt. Jack has several letters with him from prominent physicians of El Paso, Texas, and the Mexican town stating that his injuries are of a serious nature. In commenting to a Defender reporter about the affair, Jack declared that he was struck at least three times below the belt by Lawson before the seventh round, when he was unable to rise, and that his protestations to the referees went unheeded. He declared that he called the attention of the officials to the fact that he was being fouled but they ignored his complaints. —Chicago Defender. JUAREZ, Mexico, May 30—Jack Johnson's attempt to come back was nipped in the bud this afternoon when the former champ met Fighting Bob Lawson "the Alabam Bear" stabilemate of Tiger Flowers, world's middleweight champion, and Sunny Jim Williams, British middle weight champion Lawson won on a technical knockout in the seventh round. Johnson being unable to answer the bell at the beginning of the eighth. Johnson had beaten Pat Lester a few weeks ago in Sonora, Mexico, just across the state line from Nogales Arizona. Pat, unheard of outside of the border territory around Arizona and California, was decisively beaten by Johnson, although it took the big fellow 15 rounds to get the decision. Johnson's form at that time was amazing when his years are considered. Lester, a big awkward fellow knew little' about the scientific points of the game. Johnson was the most scientific fighter that ever stepped into the ring and the best defensive boxer of all times GRADUATES FROM FISK Miss Ellen G.

GOVERNOR OPENS JERSEY'S LARGEST OFFICE BUILDING NEWARK, (Special) — Ranking with the Equitable and Woolworth buildings in New York and the General Motors building in Detroit, the new Industrial Office Building of Newark which is the largest office building in the State has now been formally opened by the Governor of New Jersey. After an official inspection of the mammoth industrial building by the State Executive accompanied by New Jersey's most prominent public officials and Louis V. Aronson, President of the Industrial Office Building Company, the Governor said: "I feel that I have done more than open a building today. I am certain that I have ushered in a new era of prosperity for Newark. It is a most wonderful structure and I am amazed at the spaciousness of it." One of America's Great Buildings. Although but recently completed the imposing $5,500,000 Industrial Office Building is known throughout the country as one of America's great buildings. It is the new industrial centre of Newark which is the metropolis of the State of New Jersey and first city of the nation in diversity of industries, with a total annual production of nearly one-half billion dollars. Houses N. J. State Departments The Industrial Office Building was started on March 26, 1925, on Newark's historic site, originally acquired by the city for the purpose of erecting a memorial building to commemorate its 250th birthday anniversary.

It is distinguished by an imposing entrance, spacious artiste foyer, high-speed elevators, wide hallways and non-restricted open spaces surrounding the building for free parking facilities. With three street frontages, a mile of wide corridors, all outside offices, eleven foot six inch cellings, the Industrial Office Building claims supremacy as New Jersey's largest and finest office structure. Permanent Exposition Plan Unlike that which has ever been attempted by any office building in the country, the new Industrial Office Building in Newark has set aside the entire northeast wing for the permanent exhibit of mill and factory supplies, building construction supplies and materials, domestic appliances and other commodities in a great industrial city. THE GREAT AMERICAN HOME. Patterned after modern plans of world exhibitions, the industrial show room which will be in full swing within the next three months is destined to be the potential market for approximately 5,000 manufacturers and builders who are now in almost daily touch with the Industrial Office Building. Year Round Sales Show Rooms "Thousands of manufacturers are paying high and often exorbitant prices for sales rooms in the greater New York district," remarked Louis V. Aronson, president of the Industrial Office Building Company. "The Permanent Exposition Hall which we have now provided here in this city offers sales rooms and offices for all-year-round use at a minimum rental. "The domestic service and foreign trade business with attendant advertising and publicity afforded in this location will be invaluable to the manufacturing exhibitor in extending his trade affiliations. The Permanent Exposition Hall will be an institution which the world's buyers who visit this part of the country cannot overlook." The Permanent Industrial exposition has the official commendation of the governing body of Newark and also the unanimous endorsement of the Board of Directors of the Chamber of Commerce. WAL!

Madison, pastor of the Second Calvary Baptist Church, of Norfolk, Virginia, is creating a sensation in that section by the delivery of a series of sermons upon the moral degradation of the people of this day and time. Rev. Madison intimated that some of the teachers in the public schools of that city drank intoxicating liquors and kept company with young men students taught by them. It was also stated that a female teacher keeps up*a young man informs him that he is not required to work, and in the presence of his sister divides her salary with him. He intimated that some men teachers escort young girls to night party, to questionable houses and contribute to the girl's final disgrace and shame. He*insisted that teachers and principals come off the ballroom floor. Some teachers engage in fights over men and go to their classes the next day with bruise faces and with black eyes. It is needless to say that this section is aroused. He is being strongly upheld by one class and roundly condemned by another. From this angle, there is no sign of weakening and he is disposed and determined to "wield the rod, and spare not." The other divines in that community appear to be silent upon the question. It is plainly evident though, that a wave of debauchey, corruption and immorality is sweeping all over the country and that both white and colored, male and female are practicing these evils of which the very able divine complains. This country has become a veritable "Sodom and Gomorrah." FIFTH STREET BAPTIST (Continued from page 1) second and third verses. He used for his subject: "Out of a Pit, Up on a Rock." The sermon was of deep and intense interest to every mind. The speaker withheld nothing in describing the misery of a mire pit, as being a state of sin; but that the power through the precious blood of Jesus could life us, and keep us upon the sure Rock of Refuge. The pastor plead for our earnest devotion, not forgetting that the knee parth leads home where we receive our Master's reward. At 3:00 P. M., the Coleridge Taylor Choral Club rendered a rare feast in song The personnel of the club consists of Mr. J. K. Moore, basso and general manager; Mrs. Fannie Maynard and Mabel Jordan Small, sopranos; Mrs. Minnie R. Moore, contralto; Mr. William E. Demby, tenor; Mrs. Arvie Jordan Harris, accompanist. Each singer is possessed with a rich voice and as they sang the songs of our father: "Lord, Hear Me Pray," "Walk All Over My God's Heaven," and "Everytime I Feel the Spirit," each song was met with highest appreciation. Dr. King delivered also at this hour an address on Music and its Purpose. He spoke of music as a benediction to the world; for it was expressive of grief or anguish, joy and deep love. At the close the singers sang "Listen to the Lambs Crying," and we went away feeling blessed in this service of song. At 7:30 our pastor delivered the evening message from Hebrew 2:2, 3, 4 verses. His subject was, "Salvation, the Gift of Love." This message was two fold and well balanced. To receive the gift through belief is to receive eternal life and to neglect so great a gift is to bar your souls from heaven. At the close of the service the pastor left for Chicago to participate in the installation of our former pastor, Rev. J. C. Austin. Victory is assured for the Calendar Rally, June 6th. The day closed with seven additions and the collection for the day, $336.43.—Report of Ebenezer Baptist Church Correspondent in Philadelphia Christian Review. EBENEZER ACTIVITIES (Pittburgh, Pa. Courier, June 12) "Now therefore, our God, we thank thee; for victory is ours, through thy grace." Great was the enthusiasm among our congregation Sunday, because of Rally Day. This was really a test of the true and tried, for indeed we have had many things to go contrary to our best wishes for our program work; but realizing that all is in God's permissive power; so we leave it to Him, as we press onward and upward. The Sunday School was largely attended and nearly every teacher was at his post of duty. We were pleased to have a visitor to address the school, who presides over one of the departments of the Pilgrim Baptist Sunday School in Chicago of which Dr. J. C. Austin is pastor. At 11:00 o'clock, Dr. W. J. Bryant, the esteemed pastor of Jerusalem Baptist Church at Duquesne, Pa. preached to a large and appreciative audience, from a subject taken from the 1 Cron. 4:9-10; "Handicaps and How to Overcome the difficulties that hinder, and prevent our growth. Dr. Bryant has a welcome to Ebenezer. Our own Dr. James East, preached for the Junior Church. It was such a pleasant surprise to have him with us. He remained over for the evening service and to witness the Calendar Rally. As usual we always have the highest praise for the wonderful work that is being accomplished by the young people in the B. Y. P. U. At 7:30 our own Rev. Cobbs preached for us a lovely sermon, which cannot soon be forgotten. Ebenezer doesn't forget those of her own ministers for they, too, fill a very unique part on our church program. We listened to a very interesting letter read by Deacon Thomas L. West, from our pastor, Dr. King, whose words of encouragement seem to grip our spirits, to get a stronger hold on the things that tend to make up a great beacon light. We wish to thank all who served to make the day a financial success, for the officers are much encouraged and the work of beautifying the church will start at once. After the evening service, Rev East, Deacon West and Mrs. Rosean L. Rice, left on the late train for Chicago, to be guests at the installation reception of Rev. and Mrs. Austin. The day closed with one new member and $3,586.80 for the day's collection. MR. CARTER NOT A (Continued from Page 1) A CRITICISM OF THE GRAND LODGE In regard to his criticism as to how the funds are distributed in banks, I wish to quote from my reply of May 24th, 1926, to his first attack on me, the following: "Ever since I have been Grand Treasurer, I have never selected a permanent depository of the funds without submitting the name of the bank or trust company and any information I had as to its condition first to the Grand Exalted Ruler and the Grand Secretary for their approval. This is also a matter of record both in the Minutes of the Grand Lodge and in the correspondence between these officers and myself: **** and such se'ections as were made were the result of the unanimous decision of these officers, namely the then Grand Exalted Ruler, Grand Secretary and myself, afterwards ratified by each Grand Lodge Session to which such decisions were reported." It, therefore, follows that Pace's criticism of the hanks in which the Order's funds are distributed is a criticism, not only of the three off- THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA cers named, but of the Grand Lodge itself PLAIN REASONS GIVEN. In this connection, too, I invite Mr. Pace's attention to the following excerpts from my report, made to the Grand Lodge of Elks at Newark, N. J., August 23rd, 1922: "Being, in a small way, a promoter of Negro enterprises, my first and strongest inclination, of course was to patronize banks conducted by Negroes; but realizing that, in a great organization like this, there were, naturally, two elements—first, those who feared for the safety of our funds if entrusted solely with Negroes, and, secondly, those who did not favor white institutions—I have tried to cater to both elements by putting our funds with both races, looking first to the strength and stability of the institutions in determining the quantity of our funds to be deposited in each; and this explains why the greater portion of our funds have been deposited in white institutions. PERSONAL INCLINATIONS "In view of the speeches we all aplaud from time to time urging us to support Negro enterprises. I would be ashamed to look you in the face had I not patronized Negro banks. Personally, I take the position that we should be willing to win or 'ose all the little we have in such institutions, if we ever expect the race to acquire a commercial foothold; but I realized that in a matter of this sort, it was not my personal wishes, but the wishes and best interests of those I was serving that had to control my course." The Grand Lodge itself ratified these views by adopting this report without the least modification. INVESTMENT OF THE FUNDS The investment of its funds is a preoperative which the Grand Lodge denies to any one officer or set of officers, but reserves unto itself. On this subject however, in this same report of August 23rd, 1822 I made the following recommendations (page 84); "I believe the experiences above detailed justify me in recommending that the Grand Lodge shall immediately direct the investment of the great bulk of its funds in some safe securities, such as Government bonds or real estate whose future enhancement is beyond question because, with the unsettled financial condition of this country, no one can foretell when even some of our strongest banks, regardless of color, may fail. If my course as to selection of banks is not acceptable, then I would respectfully suggest that the Grand Lodge shall hereafter designate its own depositories if it plans to continue large cash balances on hand as formerly." No Change Ordered The Grand Lodge ordered no change, thus further approving the course of the three officers above named. Further comment is unnecessary. Pace insinuates that there took place in my office during the convention last year a certain "midnight deal" which caused the Virginia delegation to switch its support over night from Steele to Wilson, and that he knows the reason for that change and the amount of money involved. A Veiled Untruthful Insinuation I do not like to violate the proprieties of a public discussion by the use of offensive or abusive language; but I will say that if Pace means to link me up with any such deal, or to say that I had any knowledge whatever that any such deal was under consideration, had been, or would be proposed to either of these gentlemen, or their representatives, then he is guilty of uttering another untruth. The conference referred to by Pace as a "midnight deal" (which really took place in a room provided for the Committee on Credentials and not in my office) was called by Pace himself and had nothing whatever to do with the Virginia delegation's support of any candidate nor with my candidacy for the Grand Treasurership. His statement that back of it all was the object "to save Carter and keep the money in Richmond" is, therefore, a pure invention. It was participated in by most of the Past Grand Exalted Rulers and some of the most distinguished and highly respected members of the Order. The conference was purely informal and, as I understood its object when approached by Pace to furnish a meeting place, was to discuss matters that would restore peace and harmony to the Grand Lodge of Elks. I can't believe that Harry Pace, as reckless as he has been in handling the truth, would charge that any of these men were willing to accept a bribe, sell their honor or could be influenced by the alleged "sum of money involved," about which he alone knows anything. Men of High Intelligence and Honor. The Virginia delegation to the Richmond Convention was composed of men of high intelligence and honor. These gentlemen took orders from no person and arrived at decisions only after mature consideration of the issues involved in the caucuses of the delegation which. I am informed, were held daily during the convention at the Reformers' Hall. Pace's reference to the Virginia Delegation is an insult to every true Virginian, and one which every loyal and self-respecting Virginian will resent. Losses in Banks Were, in Good Faith Made Good. I come now to the most absurd statement made by Pace, and that is that I did make a "nice gesture" of making good the loss sustained by the failure of two of the Grand Lodge depositories; that may be I "fooled some of the folks then" and may be I am "fooling some of them now." He says further that my check sent to the Grand Secretary was NEVER DEPOSITED, and that Bates told me, "in so many words." to "forget it;" and that the "check never found its way into the Grand Lodge funds," etc. I remark right here that if Pace knew that such a disgraceful and even dishonest thing as this took place, then he has been unfaithful to his obligation as an Elk in concealing it for nearly four years and not having Bates and myself put out of the Order. The reason for his failure to do this is too plain for comment. He knows the statement is absolutely untrue. Indisputable Evidence I reiterate, most emphatically, that I did make good the loss referred to. The records of the Grand Lodge, the PAID CHECKS THEMSELVES, and the PASS BOOKS showing the deposits TO THE CREDIT OF THE GRAND LODGE, now in my office and open to the inspection of any Elk, sustain my contention and further convict Pace, for all time, as the most unreliable and irresponsible man who has ever aspired to hold high office. I reserve these irrefutable records also for the inspection of Pace and all other Elks at Clevelan. Unwilling to Continue Controversy. I am unwilling to continue this controversy which must inevitably “bring reproach upon our order,” and regret that Pace's unwarranted attack upon me has forced me against my will, to resort to this method of defense of myself and of the Grand Lodge, for, in its final analysis (the Grand Lodge having each year approved the manner in which its funds were deposited and my accounts and pass books showing the deposit of the check he attacks), his criticisms, though hurled at me personally, and his parading of the internal affairs of the Grand Lodge in the public press, are, after all, as much of a reflection upon the Grand Lodge as he tries to put upon me. He refuses to deal in the truths of the record; and, though “being lied about, I don't deal in lies.” "Tis such a pity Pace is out of the "Talking Machine Business"—he is so adept in manufacturing records. If he cares to continue peddling gossip and playing the role of scandal-monger, then he shall have the right of way unmolested. I shall submit my case to the Grand Lodge assembled at Cleveland, and I am unafraid. Respectfully submitted, JAS. T. CARTER, Grand Treasurer, I. B. P. O. E. W.

FARLEY WILL QUIT IF WILLS IS BARRED The Walker law, under which boxing is conducted in this State, should be wiped off the statute books if, for political or other reasons, Harry Wills, negro challenger for the heavyweight title, is denied a fight in this State against Jack Dempsey, the champion, declared Chairman James A. Farley, of the State Athletic Commission yesterday. Chairman Farley repeated his threat to exert every influence to have Promoter Tex Rickard barred from boxing in this State if he persists in his efforts to match Dempsey against Gene Tunney, here or in Jersey City. "The Walker law should be tossed into the Harlem River and boxing in this State should be buried forever if there exists any political or official reason for preventing a bout between Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills," said Chairman Farley. "I have heard it said that politics is responsible for the failure to bring Dempsey and Wills together. To those who have mentioned this to me I have replied that such a thought is ridiculous. I know of no political or official opposition to such a bout and I have talked with many prominent and powerful men on the subject. On the contrast, I find that there exists a general demand for the bout. Denies Official Opposition. "I have always maintained that there is no foundation for the rumored official opposition to a mixed heavyweight title bout. Furthermore, if such opposition does develop, there will be a job vacant on this Commission. I would not be associated for a minute with a sport which does not observe the principles of fair play. The minute I am told that a Dempsey-Wills match is not to be sanctioned, that is the minute I quit the executive end of boxing and the game as a sport. Wills, to my mind, is deserving of the first chance at the title because he is the outstanding challenger and has fought his way to that position. I have advocated the cause of Wills during my association with the administration of the sport here because I am firmly convinced Wills is deserving of a bout for the title, and I do not intend now to change my mind or turn back. As a matter of fact, I cannot very well turn back now, even if I desired, and don't think for a minute that I desire to. "I don't believe Dempsey ever intends to fight Wills. If he doesn't want to fight Wills, why doesn't Dempsey come out frankly and inform the public or retire from the ring and let others fight for the title? That seems the logical thing to do. You can rest assured that I will nover, as long as I am a member of this Commission vote to permit a bout between Dempsey and Tunney until Dempsey first has boxed Wills. I can't talk for the other members of the Commission, but there's nothing to prevent me from making known my stand. Treatments to Funish Rickard. "I think Rickard is off on the wrong tack if he hopes to evade the demand of the Commission for a Dempsey-Wills fight. He is counting revocation of his Garden boxing license in proceeding as he is doing for if he attempts to hold a Dempsey-funny bout in Jersey City I will recommend to the License Committee that Rickard's license be revoked and that he be barred from participation in the promotion of boxing in this State as long as I am a member of the Commission. I think, too, that I can safely say that Colonel Phelan and D. Walker Wear, of the License Committee, will support me in this recommendation." Promoter Rickard would not discuss the statement of Chairman Farley. The situation probably will be cleared next Thursday at the meeting of the Commission. Rickard intends to go before the board and make known his plans. The promoter originally intended to visit the Commission Tuesday but changed his plans yesterday on receipt of a letter from Chairman Farley advising him that the full Commission would not be in attendance until next Thursday. That Tunney and Billy Gibson have reached the parting of the ways was rumored yesterday. It was said that Tim Mara, backer of professional football here and a close friend of Tunney's was to direct Gene's pugilistic affairs. That the contract which bound Gibson and Tunney has expired was established at the offices of the State Athletic Commission, from Secretary Bert Stand, together with the information that there has been no renewal contract filed with the board as is required by law. A. B. COMPILIMENT TO L. DICKERSON BY THE LEAGUE OF AMERICAN INVENTORS. Dear Sir: Your application for membership in the League of American Inventors has been received for which accept our thanks. The application has been approved and your name enrolled. I, L. R. Dickerson, of Nesting, Va. was born in the county of Middlesex in the year of 1896 and at the age of 17 I began to think first of my race. The 14 Negroes in number first landed in America at Jamestown, Virginia in 1619. And then I thought on our progress, being won derfully led by the hand of God until some of my people have reached the stage of fame and honor We have statesmen, teachers, artists, doctors, lawyers, but inventors were few so I said with God's help I would try to produce an idea of an invention of some kind. So I began, but in my first attempt I did not succeed, but being an oyster planner along the banks of the Rappahannock River, I had a chance to experience the suffering life of the human race. I began to think what service I could render to those home sufferers. Having succeeded in the year of 1924 with the seal of the Patent Office to make use and vend the said invention throughout the United States and the territories thereof therefore I am asking every American citizen who is interested in the welfare of the human race to help me use my brains for the good of those who live and to live there. I offer a reward of $5.00 to $500.00 for improvement such as will appeal to the welfare of my business. FRIENDS, JRFS. I, A. R. KENSONER. I, R. TAYLOR. SpRida. Xa. Compliments to Mr. L.

CARRIE DICKERSON While you travel through life's journey though your travels may be hard and difficult, meet them with courage and win the victory as if you have just made the start. DAY PHONE.

DIDN'T YOUR MA TELL YOU NOT TO. HEY!! MISTER, SOME ONE IS STEALING YOUR CLOTHES! PA IS IN THE CREEK AND HE WANTS A PAIR OF PANTS AND A SHIRT AND SHOES AND= MR. PACE REPLIES (Continued From Page 1) which he has held as he is. And in any iraternal organization when any man or group of men arrogate to the observes the divine right to a life tenure in office and conduct a cinefine for any other member of that order to dare to oppose them, then that organization is getting onto dangerous ground. Brother Carter says he has never been a candidate for the office. And that's a lot of bunk. He has been an active candidate every year, but like every other wily politician he professes that he is letting the office seek him. Well I know that the greatest effort was made at Richmond by his local friends "to save Carter," and the fear was entertained that if they started changing officers, that they would change all down the line. Brother Carter asserts that I have assumed to be a sort of historian of the Order I have never entertained such an assumption but I do assert that I know as much about the real inside history of the Order as any man alive, and if Brother Carter desires to exchange some more statements with me, I can tell the Brotherhood some of that history which may be a little less pleasant to read than what I am writing now. I know, for instance, what any good historian ought to know who keeps an accurate record, about a certain midnight deal in Brother Carter's office in Richmond - last August, which caused the Virginia delegation to switch its support overnight from Steele to Wilson, and I know the reason for that change and I know the amount of money that was involved. I know that the rank and file of the Virginia delegates didn't know why they were suddenly ordered to vote differently from what they had been told to vote previously, and that back of it was the object "to save Carter and to keep the money in Richmond." Brother Carter asserts that he has never put any money in a bank that did not pay at least three per cent interest. "Maybe the figures are wrong and I may be mistaken, but on page 46 of the Richmond Minutes appears a statement of the banks. In the case of the Virginia Trust Company, there was a balance of $38,49478, at the close of the Pittsburgh session. Additional deposits amounting to $35,27783 were made during the year, making a total of balance and deposits of $74,488.61 during the year. There was withdrawn during the year $39,804.85 leaving a balance of $34,683.76 at the time the report was made. Now multiply the lowest balance in that bank by three per cent, and the interest earned is $1,040.51. But the report on this same page says that the interest credited to the account is $706.00 A nice little difference. But Brother Carter says that the Bank "paid at least three per cent interest." Well maybe they did, but it just doesn't look like three per cent, interest was credited to the account. Now may I ask Brother Carter just why he made those two particular white banks the favorites that he did, when he might have put some more money under proper safeguards in the other three colored banks in Richmond. Why did he feel that he had to concentrate all the Elk money in Richmond or even in Virginia? He asserts that I opposed him at Newark in 1922 because of the failure of two banks in which the Grand Lodge had funds. He did not state that both of these banks that failed were in Virginia also. I assert that it is not business-like to concentrate the funds in any one bank or any one set of banks or in any one locality. Why didn't Brother Carter place some more of the money in the bank of which he is President under proper safeguards? It would have been a perfectly natural and proper thing to do. Didn't he have confidence in himself and his own bank? Did he have more confidence in the white banks about whose management he could only surmise? No, the reason is very different, and I know the reason. But I shall await his answer and later I will tell the brotherhood the truth of why he didn't. Brother Carter asserts that when the two Virginia banks failed in 1922, that he made good the loss with his personal check Brother Carter did make a nice gesture of doing so, and maybe he heaped some of the folks then and maybe he is fooling some of them now. But he is telling only half of the truth. He neglected to say that his check which he sent the Grand Secretary was never deposited by Bates, and that Bates told him in so many words "to forget it." and that check never found its way into the Grand Lodge funds and the Grand Lodge itself sustained the loss As the "historian" which he calls me I know that he knows he is lying when he says he 'paid the loss." Here are the balances in the various banks, and their locations as reported in the Minutes: Austin First Company. Richmond, Va. $34,683 76 American National Bank. TOBEY AND TYKE COLORED BANKS St. Luke's Bank, Richmond, Va......$3,998.75 Metropolitan Bank and Trust Co., Norfolk, Va.... 401.25 Commercial Bank and Trust Co., Richmond, Va. 8,893.19 (Carter is president of this bank) Second St. Savings Bank, Richmond, Va......2,340.72 Wage Earners Savings Bank, Savannah, Ga......5,189.83 Total in 5 Colored Banks $20,823,74 Note the differences. Also note the locations of these banks. Only one bank outside of Virginia, although the money from the Eks comes from all over the world. No wonder Richmond can entertain us so royally. It ought to do so. We are paying for it ourselves. No wonder Brother Carter can, beast of his wealth and his large number of employees. The free use of that mucu of somebody else's money will make anybody a "big man" in his locality. Why could he not put some of that money in the Douglas National Bank of Chicago; or the Binga State Bank or the First Standard Bank at Louisville, or the Mechanics Bank at Durham, N. C., or the Citizens Trust Co., of Philadelphia, or the One Cent Bank at Nashville *or many other strong, safe, conservative banks? It was concentrated at Richmond for a purpose which is not hard for even a layman to see. Brother Jimmie says I claim credit for the deposit at Savannah. Yes I do. Dr. Clayborne made the request of him and Bates at Chicago 1923. It was promised, like Bates has a way of promising anything to shoo opposition away from himself. Clayborne asked me to he up him in the matter and I did. Had I not followed it up, running down a net work of lies by both Bates and Jimmie, in which they sought to lay the blame of the failure to make the deposit on Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson, who was out of the Country the deposit would never have been made. The deposit of $5,000 was not made until over a year afterward, notwithstanding a bond securing the Grand Lodge against loss had been executed, passed on by Brother Carter, investigated and found sufficient nearly a year before. I insisted on a bond being given to secure the Grand Lodge, and it was given. I believe in proper safeguards, and I ask right here, did Brother Carter insist on bonds from the other banks? He says I opposed him, and I did, not for the failure of two colored Virginia banks, but for his hypocrisy in pretending to make good a loss which he knows he did not make good, and for his further hypocrisy in not depositing in his own bank, but at the same time making the deposit elsewhere where it becomes much more available for use. More anon Jimmie attempts to resort to innuendoes and slurs in his attack on me. He says at least by implication that I have "ditted from post to post, 'eaving behind dead carcasses of corporations'," Jimmie is afraid to say openly what he implies because he knows the danger of libel for that which he cannot prove. I made no comparison of my record with his: I had no fight against him but since he wants it, let's go. I began my business career as Cashier of the Solvent Savings Bank of Memphis, the first bank of the race to attain a million dollars of deposits. I was in it from the beginning, helped to build it up into a commanding position. It is bigger and stronger today than Jimmie's bank, notwithstanding it has no insurance company to support it and has had to draw its business out of a community that had no big business enterprises. If that is a carcass, I don't know one. I resigned from the Solvent, against the wishes of the Board, to help organize the Standard Life, as the first old line legal reserve company of the race. And Standard grew under my joint management to such a giant that it excited the envy of white capitalists and speculators who in 1925 secured control of it. They are still running it, although there is an effort on foot to get it back. It has millions of assets and millions of insurance in force. It became a pattern for Carter to follow when last year he converted his own insurance company into an old line legal reserve company. Ask those who know why I left Standard and they will tell you that if the program which I pronounced un sound and dangerous had been discontinued, that institution would never have been lost to the race. Is there any carcass there Brother Carter? Yeah, Jimmie I had to flit and to fight. I organized the Northeastern Life Insurance Company with a paid-in capital of $100,000, in one years time, and in the face of opposition that would have made you quit. I had the opposition of your Boss Bates, who took advantage of confidential information that I had given him as a friend and who set one of his henchmen to work to oppose me with a rival institution. But it didn't work. His man Friday failed and I succeeded. While THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA I have been fighting for opportunities for the race and myself, you have been taking it easy. I have never had any jobs handed to me on a silver platter like you have. I have never got a job as a result of the trip of either an ambulance or a hearse. My insurance presidency didn't come to me because somebody died, and I inherited the result of his effort, like you did, I created my own insurance company. I didn't get my bank job, like you did, by taking it away from a man who had organized the bank and then lost his health and couldn't help himself. I helped to organize and build my bank. I didn't get my job as Grand Secretary or as Grand Exalted Ruler in the Elks after all was peaceful and harmonious and prosperous in the Elks like you did, and then seek to hold onto it for life. I helped to build the Order of Elks in the days when it called for sacrifice and service and courage to be an officer, and I was willing to give somebody else a chance. If I had had the hoggish spirit that you and Bates have, the Order of Elks would never have heard of either one of you. But let's not becloud the issues involved. You say you are not a candidate, then in the name of common decency why don't you retire and give other capable men a chance similar to the one you have had. I say that it is time to clean house; that the Order of Elks is not functioning under the guidance of your Ress Bates and yourself except as the willing financial tools of those white people who fought for years to keep us from calling ourselves Elks. I say 'Spend Elk Money with Elks.' When the Grand Secretary gives $3,912 worth of printing (see the Richmond Minutes) to an Irish printer who doesn't need the business, because it is convenient to the Pennsylvania Station and because he can run out at lunch time and read the proofs, and when at the same time he does not spend a nickle with a colored printer in the same year, I say it is time to clean house. When Grand Secretary Bates gets up as he did in Richmond and nominates an auditor who is to check his books and Brother Carter's, and urges his friends to vote for 'my man,' we are getting on dangerous ground. And 'his man' was elected one of the auditors and will 'check' the books of both Carter and Bates. As reluctant, y as Brother Carter asserts he does, I make these statements but it is time the brotherhood began to learn the truth and if Jimmie wants to answer this, there is some more history that I know that he may want the public to read. And if I get the same chance at Cleveland that he gets to present facts I shall be more than satisfied with the decision of the Grand Lodge after they know the truth. Fraternally yours HARRY H. PACE.

But it is nasty and repulsive and evil smelling and nearly always upsets children's stomachs—so now up-to-date chemists advise McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Compound Tablets. Children love them as they co candy, because they are sugar-coated and easy to take. One boy gained 11 1-2 pounds in seven weeks, and is now healthy and happy—thousands of other children have grown strong and robust. Sixty tablets for 60 cents at all druggists—but be sure and ask for McCoy's—the original] and genuine. Give them to the sickly, frail child for 30 days, and if they don't help—wonderfully your druggist is authorized to hand you back the money you paid for them.

Millions noticed the planet Saturn sailing through the sky in company with the moon, a beautiful, unusual display. In the eastern sky they saw the beautiful blue star Vega, toward which our sun is supposed to be travelling, the star that in course of time will be our "north star." A few years ago it was believed that Saturn and the moon were not far apart, and that both had been created to contribute light for man. Every child knows, now, that Saturn is millions of miles from the moon and that the moon is only a little cosmic "donkey engine" lifting the tides of our oceans, keeping them sanitary through constant motion.

Cummins National political interest has switched from Pennsylvania to Iowa where another hot fight in June primaries is nearing a knockout for the G. O. P. senatorial nomination. Former Senator Smith W. Brookhart, insurgent recently ousted through the contest of Sen. D.F. Steck, (D.) is seeking to take the nomination away from the veteran, Senator Albert B. Cummins who has been in the Senate for 18 years. pain in the foot, in another chronic headache. Their remedy is to set this bone in place. Mr. Rabbe, a mechanic, sixty-two years' old, worked hard for years, while he and his wife took care of his twenty-two-year-old daughter, paralyzed from her waist down, unable to move. Two nights ago he wrote, "Oh, God, forgive me. I can't stand this mental agony any longer." Then he shot his daughter dead while she slept, and killed himself with the same weapon. Where do you suppose he is now? What is his punishment? Until his wife died a year ago, she took care of the paralytic daughter, never complaining. Women do that. Judge Gary, head of the United States Steel Corporation, biggest industrial eperprise on earth, told other steel men yesterday that "business is sound and growing, and prosperity is perhaps greater than ever." That puts it conservatively. Nothing can hurt this country but its own foolishness, eagerness to mix in Europe's affairs, investing billions in doubtful European bonds, etc. We have wealth, industrial knowledge, skill, most of the money in the world and about all the substantial credit, outside of Switzerland and the British Empire. And we haven't even scratched this country's wealth. The biggest boom ever seen is due next Fall. Write that down, and get ready for it. Yesterday Kansas scientists with a Leyden jar electrically charged to 4,000 volts made it possible to hear the actual sound of atoms dashing against each other. It's useless denying any statement about the atom, or its construction, for all that scientists tell you is beyond human comprehension. The hydrogen electron charged with negative electricity, revolve around its positively charged nucleus one thousand trillion times in a second. The atom is small, but even so, that electron travels thirteen miles a second in its tiny orbit. Some day the INFINITELY SMALL, seen through a microscope, will be as familiar to every educated man as the infinitely great scan through the telescope, but it is bewildering now. Magazine Page by John Joseph Gaines, M.D. GALL-STONE DISEASE You have frequently noticed crystals formed in the bottom of a syrup-pitcher, when the article stands on the pantry shelf, unused for some time. Crystals of sugar form quickly when the syrup is not agitated. So crystals form in bile—the liver secretion, if by inactive habits, or over-feeding, the body is sluggish and the bile becomes stagnant—does not flow readily—is thick and heavy. The concretions form in the gall-bladder, and are known as gall-stones. Many people have gall-stones and don't know it. I removed over seventy good-sized gall-stones once, in an autopsy; the patient in life had never suspected such, and died of a different disease. Should a stone "engage" however, and start to escape from the gall-bladder, there is no process more painful. All people who have jaundice should permit a gall-stone examination. In modern surgery their removal is not serious so far as life is concerned. Jaundice in aged patients is too often a symptom of cancer to be regarded lightly. Such a symptom demands thorough investigation at the first indication of the yellow solerotics. Latent gall-stone is seldom accompanied by fever. Acute jaundice in young patients, with fever, especially in malarial districts, are generally due to infected gall-bladder, and are readily curable. The treatment of such conditions is too technical to be placed in short articles like this. The best simple preventive of gall-stone is exercise. The crystals cannot form if the gall-bladder empties normally. The man or woman with an ugly liver needs the outdoors and vegetable diet. Indoors and sedentary habits are most potent shorteners of life.

THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND' VIRGINIA The One who Forgot BY RUBY M. AYRES These Fellows Run to Odd Size A Here are Diamono and Royal Largo, believed to be the largest and the smallest horses in America. Diamond Weighs 2870 while the little chap scales a scant 200. The former is owned by E. L Humbert, of Corning, Ia., the latter by F. H. Divan, of Monroe, Wisconsin BEGIN HERE TODAY PETER LYSTER has lost his memory from shell shock in France. Upon his return to London he fails to recognize IN NORWAY ABY, to whom he became engaged before going to the front. Nan, broken-hearted, returns to her home to care for her brotherbrothera. She is still in touch with JOAN DICOTT, in London, who has encouraged her to forget Peter and marry his friend and fellow of JOHN ARNOTT, with whom Peter is resting at the home of Arnott's sister, not far from the Marrabry ever since, ever over Peter's reported engagement to Arnott's sister, and the financial difficulties of her father, his brother, Harley SEFTON, a money lender, who has promised to cancel her father's debts to him and make her a father Peter's IOUS on their wedding day. Arnott has just called to ask Nan whether her reported engagement is true. He tells her that, Peter was told to go to the office rather has applied for immediate return to France. The maid announces Sefton and Arnott leaves. Nan enters the room where Sefton is waiting. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY SEFTON took a bundle of papers from his pocket and flung them down on the table. "There are your father's precious bills," he said. Nan colored; she glanced at them, but did not pick them up. "Thank you," she said. "By the way," he added, looking back over his shoulder. "Lyster is engaged to that little widow sister of Arnott's—I suppose you know, though—eh?" "I heard it—but it's not true," said Nan in a strangled voice. He laughed provokingly. "Oh, yes, it is," he said. "I met Lyster as I came along just now, and he told the himself." John Arnott was right when he said that Peter had changed during the past few days. He had grown irritable and morose; he took to going off for long walks by himself; he was abrupt with Arnott and seemed to avoid Doris. It was the morning after the village had been thrilled with the news of Nan Marraby's engagement that Peter announced his intention of going to London. "It's all rot, tearing up to town like this," Arnott declared humfully. "Most fellows are quite content to wait till they're sent for—I know I am. Don't be an ass, give up the idea." But Peter would not; and finally Arnott drove him down to the station to catch the mid-day train. As they were leaving the village they overtook Nan and the three boys—Arnott slowed down. Nan's eyes went quickly to Lyster and away again. "Where are you off to?" she asked as lightly as she could. Arnott answered that Peter was fed up with them and was going back to town. Nan's blue eyes dilated. "You have soon got tired of the country," she said. Peter did not answer: he was engrossed with the boys, who had climbed on to the footboard of the car. "It's goodby, then, Mr. Lyster," Nan said. After a moment's hesitation she held out her hand, "Goodby." Arnott trowned as he drove on. Was Lyster a fool, he wondered impatiently, that he could not guess the meaning of the heartbreak in Nan's eyes. For the twentieth time the impulse came to him to tell him the truth. "I suppose." Peter said suddenly, with a sort of constraint. "I suppose it is true that Miss Marraby is engaged to—Sefton?" "Yes." "She's throwing herself away." "Yes," said Arnott again savagely. "There's no doubt about that." Lyster looked at him. "What became of the fellow she was engaged to?" he asked. Arnott colored. "He treated her rottenly," he said violently. "At least—I suppose I ought not to say that—it's a mixup anyhow." "What do you mean—a mixup?" But Arnott would say no more. The station was in sight, and he changed the subject hurriedly. Nan's face haunted Peter all the way to London. Her smile troubled him—and her voice—and her little tilt of the manner. He was from his thoughts by a jolt and a violent awe followed by a sudden impact. A car coming in the opposite direction had collided with them at the corner of the road. Lyster had a vague impression of broken glass and a man's red, angry face before he wrenched open the door and scrambled out. The other cab had come off by far C25 D. S. SCOTT the worst of the two; the door had jammed, and all the glass was broken, and behind it Peter caught sight of a girl's white, frightened face. He got it open after a struggle and helped the girl out. It was some moments before she could find her voice. "They had no right to drive so fast—I knew we should have an accident—the police ought not to allow it. And I'm in such a hurry, too—I suppose I shall miss my train." The police had arrived on the scene and were making copious notes. "My cab seems fairly undamaged." Peter said to the girl. "If you will let me drive you along—I don't know where you are going." She told him at once. "I was going to Euston to catch a train, but now I suppose I shall miss it and there'll be nobody to meet me—oh, dear, what shall I do?" She seemed very helpless, Peter thought with a sense of impatience, even while he felt rather sorry for her. "What time does the train go?" he asked. "We are not far from Euston—as a matter of fact, I've just come from there myself—I shall be delighted to drive you back." She accepted readily—it turned out that there was a quarter of an hour in which to catch the train. She dried her eyes when she heard this, and consented to smile; she looked at Peter interestedly. "My husband is out in France," she said impulsively. "I suppose nearly everyone's husband is though—he's just been home on leave." Her voice quivered a little. "It's horrible without him," she added. "I'm sure it is." Peter said kindly. --- there was something childish about this girl that appealed to him. "I used to have a friend living with me," she wens on. "But now she's had to go home, and I'm all alone. I've tried to put up with it, but somehow today I felt I couldn't beir it any longer, so I sent Nan a wire, and I'm going down to see her as she can't come back to live with me." "Nan!" said Peter sharply. "Yes, that's her name—Nan Marraby; she's such a dear; one of those cheerful people who seem to do you such a lot of good. I felt quite different when she was with me, but now . . ." She looked away from him out of the window and her little face fell into haggard lines. After a moment she went on— "She's had heaps of trouble, too—and she so brave." She looked at him. "I don't know why I'm talking to you like this," she said with an apologetic smile. "I—I'm flattered that you should," Lyster told her awkwardly. After a moment he prompted her gently. "You say your friend has had a lot of trouble. I'm afraid that most women have during the war—" "But Nan's is different to most people's," she said with a little shake of her head. "It seemed such a cruel kind of trouble, you know. She was engaged to a man—she just adored him—they were to have been married on his next leave, and then . . . "And then," said Peter as she stopped. "He was wounded," the girl told him. "And he had a bad shock as well—and when he got better—well, he'd just forgotten all about her—and . . . that was all." Peter tried to speak, but no words would come; his hands were locked together, his lips felt cold and dry. Presently, with an effort, he found his voice, but it sounded cracked and strange to his ears. "Forgotten all about her," he said. "I knew a similar case—at least—a man who lost his memory in something the same sort of way. . ." "Really." She looked at him interestedly. "I suppose things like that happen every day out in France, don't they? It must all be such a nightmare—such a horror . . ." She shivered sensitively. "At first when I told Tim—Tim is my husband," she explained shyly, "he said he thought Peter must be shamming. . . Did you speak?" "No," said Peter. "You's like that, you know," she went on. "He's a darling, but he's so matter of fact—he didn't believe in the Angels of Mons a bit," she added regretfully. Peter half smiled. "I don't think many of us really did," he said whimsically. "But with regard to this—this man. Peter, I think you said his name was." "Yes—Peter Lyster . . . I never saw him myself, but Nan spoke of him so much I always felt as if I knew him . . ." She gave a little startled exclamation, leaning towards him. "Oh, are you ill?" she asked anxiously. "Peter pulled himself together with an effort, though he was white to the lips. "No, no—go on." he said huskly. "And what happened then—what did your friend do?" "Do! What could she do! She just behaved as if nothing had ever existed between them—she just—let him go." "And—and the man?" Joan Endicott shrugged her shoulders. "Oh," she said, "it's not Peter I am sorry for—it's not Peter who wants pitying." Peter laughed mirthlessly; he leaned his head in his hands for a moment. "Poor devil," he said then. "Who knows?" The taxi had turned into Euston Square, and Peter woke to his surroundings with a start. He felt as if someone had plunged him into an abyss of darkness and silence, through which he groped vainly in the desire to find a way out. The taxi was slowing down, and with an effort he roused himself and turned to the girl beside him.

Wins Fame Behind Prison WallsRemarkable Experience of a Brilliant Colored Man. ```markdown ``` By An Insider (Reprint and publishing rights reserved exclusively by the author.) (Continued from last week.) It was late in the afternoon when we arrived at the prison, we could see it for blocks away and we needed no prompting to realize that it was the prison. Writers always refer to a prison as a cold bleak dreary ghastly looking stone building in gray and true to their description this prison was no exception. We were marched directly into the warden's ante-room, where the formality of turning our commitment papers and securing receipts therefor was negotiated between the deputies and the record clerk. A grue-appearing front office official (who later proved himself a friend to me) came in and grilled each of us. My managed partner immediately started to impress this official with his importance and personality and it seemed to amuse me when in answer to the officials' inquiry as to his vocation, he stuck his chest and in a lordly manner replied that he was a public speaker, editor, writer, etc., the official replied that he would do no speaking there that they (the officials) would attend to all the speaking and writing. Inwardly Smiled. While this retort seemed to lower, in my estimation, the high and exalted standing of my manacled newfound friend with money and position. I couldn't help but inwardly smile at the official's reply so that when he asked me my vocation I replied very simply and without any affectations that I was an office man and when he asked me if I could do stenographic work I replied in the affirmative he made a note of same and said he would talk to me later. After these formalities had been finished we were led up into the guard-room where the gates officially closed upon us and we were securely lost in the world of lost men. We had arrived too late to be officially "dressed in" and after stripping us of all our few possessions including our hat, coat and vest we were led into the old east wing in a dark damp squally cell, hardly large enough to turn around in and told we would remain there for thirty days when better quarters would be assigned to us if we behaved ourselves. In the Next Cell. My friend was in the next cell and our bunks were supported on a single piece of cross-run-iron which ran between the walls of the two cells and while I did not know that night, every time my partner would move on his bunk in the next cell it would jar my bunk and it kept me nervous all night as every time that ticklish jar was felt I felt that mice or rats were in the straw mattress upon which I tried to rest and dream of the future. In this cell was nothing but the rules of the prison hanging on the walj and until the lights went out at nine I would intermittently refer to the rules and look out of my little lattice-work iron door through the apertures of which at intervals a sleek quiet fellow with a pallid complexion with a quick nervous twitch in his eye would pass by with water, singing that old droll cry, w-a-t-e-r, w-a-t-e-r. I heard my pal next door ask him to get him something to read to which he replied, "see the screw." The poor fellow was not allowed to stop and converse, neither to pass anything to and fro. With no previous experience of such kind I know I was cooler than my next door neighbor for on one occasion he tapped on the wall and in in a low murmur, whispered, "Isn't this Hell." Even as low as his whisper, in this quiet cell-block where a pin drop could be heard, "the screw" it and immediately came over and reprimanded him; to'd him to read his rues. Eventually I fell asleep and slept the sleep of a tired worn out wayisier when he hits a resting place. Thus spent my first night in a State's prison. The Morning Call. I awoke in the morning all excitement, bells and bugles were ringing and blowing. The water boys, contrary to their slow quiet tone of the night previous, were hollering like cappers at a fair, each advertising his wares, "hot water," "cold water," "hot water," "cold water," etc. I arose, washed and stood at my door. Presently the guard unlocked it, I swept the dirt from my cell into the corridor, placed my bucket outside the door and awaited the third bell which my rules had informed me was our cue to step out of cell and march to the bucket-grounds with our buckets and thence to the dining room for breakfast. I was prepared to do so when the guard came back and locked us new fellows up when I learned that not yet being "dressed in" we were to be locked in our cells till later. Our breakfast, of which we were to have hundreds like it, was brought to us, it consisted of rice, two cookies and a cup of coffee. Shortly after breakfast we were marched to the tailor shop, measured and dressed such as it were in a hickory shirt and ill-fitting gray-blue regulation pants and coat. Scrubbing the Body. Back to the hall-masters office where every inch of our body was scrutinized for scars and peculiar identification marks, the complete Bertillon measurements, finger-prints and family history. The deputy-warden then assigned to each of us a job and were sent to work. My friend with so much position, and prestige was assigned to washing dishes in the kitchen while I was sent to a warehouse where I assisted in trucking sisal. At this laborious work I trudged for two days when to my relief the deputy-warden tapped me on the shoulder and said to follow him. Not knowing what was up I followed him which led to my first assignment in a clerical capacity, the cream of prison jobs and generally considered for "politicians" only. They were installing a perpetual inventory system in the prison central stores and needed an experienced man to keep it up. Finally Summoned. When asked if I could do it and giving a favorable reply I was given the job which lasted for three weeks when on a Saturday morning I was summoned to the Deputy's office. Arriving there he asked me a number of questions to find out if I had any connections in the State—something to sort of hold me on the job in case I was to be given one of trust. To my surprise after acknowledging that I hadn't a friend in the state he gave me the job anyway. It was to be stenographer for the "gruff official" 'I had met on my entrance in the prison the first day. It was at the beginning of war and young men were at a premium—jobs were becoming plentiful and while it had been their custom to employ "free" men for such positions they were unable to secure them and was willing to give an inmate, even though a colored man, a try at it. I went to work that Saturday afternoon, assigned a desk and given certain duties. Neat Appearance. To present a neat appearance I was given an order for a tailor-made suit to be made out of prison regulation cloth, and white shirts, given special privileges in hours to be locked in my cell; days on which I could see the barber and transferred to a new, large, clean and comfortable cell with hot and cold water, etc. While the job paid but 25 cents a day every prison privilege possible was granted thus creating an incentive to give to the job the very best within one. ROANOKE LETTER A WEDDING OF INTEREST Hicks—Bailey ROANOKE, VA., June 8, 1926. Among the weddings of interest for June was that of Mr. John W. Hicks, of Salem, Va., and Miss Mabel C.

The children were invited in large numbers, and they had plenty to eat and drink, such as cakes, lemonade and ice cream. A CASE OF RABIES Visit to the Dog Pound—Interesting Conditions. It would be a surprise to the average citizen to know how efficient the present system of the Richmond Health Department has grown under its Chief Officer. Practically every family unit here, white and colored is under the surveillance of this trained body of people, who are employing the most modern methods to reduce the number of deaths and to improve the health conditions in this section. A visit to the "dog farm" as it was called was also surprising. The efficient Chief Medical Inspector, Dr. B. B. Bagby and Dr. H. H. Rowe, the well-known City Veterinarian, and the representative of the Planet were in the party. Just back of the City Jail is a large yard occupied by the equipments of the Street Cleaning force. It is kept in first class condition. A large house resembling a shed, having an entrance as well protected as an unbarred jail brought us to the dogpound. The keeper and his attendant were on guard. To the right was a brick construction, which had several entrances and which resembled an oven. This was the gas-house, into which the dogs were driven to be asphyxiated, when the gas was turned on. Kept For Observation. Around the place were the dog kennels, where dogs were kept for observation. We had been told that there was a case of hydrophobia there and finally we were shown a six months old puppy, which is said to have bitten three dogs. He was whining. Dr. Rowe prodded him with a stick, but beyond whining, he showed no resentment. The doctor explained that there were different kinds of hydrophobia or rabies. One is known as "dumb rabies." The dog does not bite any one. In fact it cannot do so for it is paralyzed in its lower jaw. Puppy Would Die. He explained that this puppy was BARGAINS time to time excellent val- Pianos, taken in exchange and other-high-grade instru- lad to demonstrate and ex- payment. y Company 214 East Grace Walker Gets Results From's Skin Whitener clearer and lighter and the excessive oil which causes "shine" disappears.

As they did not understand this, it caused them no worry. Since January 1, 1926, to May 31st, 1926, 1,537 dogs had been captured. Some had been returned to their owners. Others had been sold. They are usually kept about 60 hours before being killed. One case there was that of a valuable blooded dog, over which the owner was contending. He was held for observation. The Horse Department. There was no evidence of cruelty in this dog retreat. The place is admirably kept. Then we went over to the "horse department," where the horses for the National Guard are kept. Dr. Bagby became at once deeply interested and we shared the opinion that when it came to the horse and the dog, both of these accomplished officers were partial to the horse. A moment later, we were again in the Health Department office getting a list of the dead colored folks, for we had previously expressed the opinion that this is the only place in the city where the colored folks beat the white folks—the colored folks die faster.

I did so, and in twenty-four hours after using his medicines, I passed at least a half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel.
