NEW YORK, July 28-With Commissioner George E. Brower, for the first time, exercising his full power as the man with the pivotal vote, the State Athletic Commission yesterday snatched the Jack Dempsey-Gene Tunney world's heavyweight championship but right out of the hands of Chicago and brought it back to New York, where many months ago Tex Rickard intimated quite broadly it should be held. The commission, by a vote of 2 to 1, approved the staging of the fight by Rickard at the Yankee stadium on September 16.
This startling action was taken at the regular board meeting and followed with surprising alacrity on the heels of Mr. Brower's step on Monday night, when he wired to Rickard urging the promoter to leave Chicago at once and reopen the case before the New York commission.
Apparently acting on this lead, Matchmaker Jess McMahon and William F. Carey, Treasurer of the Madison Square Garden Corporation appeared before the board as Rickard's representatives and asked that approval be granted for the Dempsey-Tunney fight here.
Commissioner William Muldoon, who heretofore had been waging a lone fight to bring the title bout here, at once moved that the Rickard request be approved. Chairman James A. Farley, still standing by his guns to bar the match, voted no.
Then Brower, who up to now had stood steadfastly by Chairman Farley, broke the ranks of the opposition by voting with Muldoon to approve the request. Thus, with the commission now on record as sanctioning the match the only obstacle that remains to be hurdled is the obtaining of licenses for the two fighters, as neither participant holds a license in this State. This ties with the License Committee, now functioning apart from the commission and headed by Colonel John Phelan still a supporter of Chairman Farley. According to the Chairman, Colonel Phelan's opposition to the fight remains as big an obstacle as ever.

ALICE RHINELANDER LANDS IN ENGLAND. ON VISIT.
(Preston News Service)
WHITE PLAINS, N. Y. July 29 — Not only will Leonard Kip Rhinelander appeal to the Appellate Division from the decision dismissing his complaint in a suit for annulment of marriage, but he will also appeal from allowance of $12,000 additional counsel fees.
Formal notice of both appeals was on file Friday in the office of the county clerk. The tw₀ decisions in favor of Alice Jones Rhinelander, of New Rochelle, were signed two months ago by Supreme Court Justice Joseph Morschauser, although the jury which found that Rhinelander had not been deceived as to his wife's color reported last December.
Prior to the allowance of $12,000 counsel fees an allowance of $3,000 had been made, which was not opposed by Rhinelander.
SOUTHAMPTON, ENG., July 30 — Alice Jones Rhinelander arrived with her mother to visit the latter's relatives in England and although surrounded by newspaper men she escaped, with the mere statement that she didn't care whether Leonward is in Paris.
It is understood that orders were left for a chauffeur to call at the hotel after all London trains had departed, and it was thought Mrs. Rhinelander intended to go to St. Malo, where her mother's family lives.

DR. PENN ADVOCATES NEGRO HEADS OF OUR SCHOOLS
SPIRIT LAKE, IOWA, July 30.—Before the Lake Okiobja Bible Conference, Dr. I. Garland Penn, Cincinnati, Ohio, one of the Secretaries for Negro Schools and Colleges of the Board of Education, Methodist Episcopal Church, declared that to secure the best and largest results in the education of the Negro, philanthropy should now work through the educated Negro as presidents, teachers and workers.
The recent movement at Howard University in electing a Negro to the Presidency is in the right direction. "We had just as well be truthful about it," said Dr. Penn. "It is an economic question. Thousands of Negroes are being educated and are now doing graduate work in the summer schools for their degrees. They have no where to work except among their own people. He said this should not be considered as eliminating white workers from Negro schools, but rather a compliment to those God-fearing, self-sacrificing men and women, in that, they have done their work so well in the last fifty years as to have prepared Negro men and women for the task. The time has also come, said he, when Negro leaders and people must give of their means for the education of the race and thus supplement white philanthropy.
Dr. Penn delivered two addresses at the Bible Conference Saturday and Monday, July 24, 26, and conducted an Inter-Racial Workers Conference.
Several thousand white Methodists of Northwest Iowa and South Dakota heard the addresses and participated in the conferences.

NORFOLK JUDGE RULES SEGREGATION LAW IS INVALID
Declaring the residential segregation ordinance passed recently by the City of Norfolk invalid and without effect, Judge Spindle of the police court on July 15th ruled again against efforts to herd the Negroes of Norfolk in restricted areas. This decision was rendered in the case of Samuel Costen, a colored man who recently sought to move his family into a house located at Mapleton and Majestic Avenue, a so-called white district. A warrant was issued against Costen on the complaint of white neighbors charging violation of the segregation ordinance.
David H. Edwards, attorney and President of the Norfolk Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People appeared for Mr. Costen. Mr Edwards was assisted by B. J. Barnes. For the plaintiffs appeared John B. Jenkins and J. Louis Broudy, who contended that the Norfolk law was not affected by the United States Supreme Court decision of 1917 in the Louisville Case, as the law under consideration was identical with the one in New Orleans which the Supreme Court of Louisiana has upheld, which case is now pending in the U. S. Supreme Court through the work of the New Orleans Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. Mr. Edwards made a brilliant argument, contending that the law did differ in its essentials from the Louisville ordinance; that it did abridge the constitutional rights of citizens; and that the provision which allows the occupancy of a home in a white neighborhood by a colored family on contents of the majority of white residents of that section and vice versa, were an improper exercising of legislative authority. Following the submission of briefs by attorneys on both sides Judge Spindle rendered his decision declaring the law invalid, unconstitutional and without effect.
Judge Spindle's previous decision was rendered when Mr. Edwards prosecuted a white merchant who moved into a Negro neighborhood. The case was dismissed on the ground that the law was invalid. It is believed the law had adverse decisions will end attempts to legislation in Norfolk, by this means.

ECHOES FROM THE GRAND LODGE, K. OF P. OF VA. Some Startling Revelations. Much Law Quoted.
STAUNTON, VA.; July 23—Another one of the statements made here came from a delegate, named R. B. Clark. He hailed from Richmond and it related to some legal matters in connection with the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church. Id did not go to a committee, however, Mr. Mitchell, while here, spoke of the section of the law relating to the failure of Attorney Joseph R. Pollard in failing to turn over to the Mechanics Savings Bank the amount, which he collected for that corporation and which the receivers' report shows amounted to $640.97. Mr. Mitchell said that all Pollard had to do was to receipt for the money.
WHITE ATTORNEYS WON CAsE.
The attorneys for the white banks had won the case beforehand. He never authorized Pollard to take any of this money for himself and the only amount, to which he was entitled was such an amount that might be allowed by the Court in such cases. The law upon this subject reads;
THE LAW ON FEES
"An attorney is entitled not only to the fee that may be taxed in the case, but such other fee as may be agreed upon between him and his client, or if there be no agreement, such fee as his services are reasonably worth.
DEFAULTING ON MONEY
"If an attorney raises on demand to pay over money collected, it may be recovered by a warrant before a justice, or by suit or motion in court, depending upon the amount, damages in lieu of interest, not exceeding the amount, per annum, may be awarded against." Further extracts, by Mr.
Further extracts quoted by Mr. Mitchell read:
HOW TO PROCEED.
"If the Supreme Court of Appeals or any Court of record of this State observe any mal-practice or any corrupt or unprofessional conduct there in by any attorney, or if complaint, verified by affidavit, be made to any such Court of mal-practice or of corrupt or unprofessional conduct by any attorney therein, or if complaint, verified by affidavit be made to any Court of record (other than the Supreme Court of Appeals) of any mal-practice or any corrupt or unprofessional conduct by any attorney practicing therein, such Court shall issue a rule against such attorney to show cause why his license to practice law shall not be revoked or suspended.
THE RETURN OF RULE.
"Upon the return of such rule, a jury shall be empanelled, when required by the defendant, and if he be found guilty by the Court or by the jury, where one is empanelled, his license to practice in such Court shall be revoked, or suspended, for such time as the Court may prescribe. When the case is in the Supreme Court of Appeals, the Court shall direct one of its officers to summon a jury from the county or corporation in which said Court is then being held, to be empanelled and paid as in cases of misdemeanor in the circuit or corporation Court; and any revocation or suspension of license by said Supreme Court of Appeals shall operate and be effective in all the courts of this Commonwealth. The words 'any malpractice or any corrupt or unprofessional conduct', as used in this section shall be construed to include the failure without sufficient cause, within a reasonable time, after demand, of any attorney-at-law to pay over and deliver to the person entitled, thereto, within a reasonable time any money, security, or other property, which has come into his hands as such attorney."
A SENSATION CREATED
These revelations have created a
sensation here and elsewhere and enquiries have been made concerning the same. Mr. John Mitchell, Jr. emphasized the fact that Joseph R. Pollard is the attorney named, by W. H. C. Brown to handle the legal affairs of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia and later made treasurer of the Order. He received a check for Twenty Thousand, Seven Hundred and Ninety-nine Dollars and Forty-six Cents of the Grand Lodge and instead of depositing this amount to the credit of Joseph R. Pollard, Grand Master of Exchequer (treasurer), where it would require the signatures of the Grand Chancellor, Grand Keeper of Records and Seal and Grand Master of Exchequer to draw it out, he deposited the whole amount to the credit of Joseph R. Pollard, Attorney, where his signature would be the only one needed to get it out.
NOT YET DECIDED
He officially reported that only $2,000 of the amount actually went into the treasury of the Grand Lodge, a claim of $13,000.00 with interest being paid outside of the treasury. It is evident that the members of the Order will mark time until this matter is cleared up. Mr. Mitchell would not state when action against Attorney Pollard would be brought or whether it would be brought to the attention of a local court of record or before the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia.
Personals and Briefs
Mrs. Viola Cogbill arrived in the city last Tuesday for Washington.
Miss Florine Ball, daughter of Rev. W. B. Ball, 2214 Henrico St. is a little improved.

Misses Frances Lewis and Florine Cogbill left the city for Durham, N.C. to spend a few days.
They say "C. P." You can do this or see Clarence Hayes. Either way you will find prompt and efficient service. He knows how to work when you sleep and to hustle when you are awake.
"Catty" Price has had some hard knocks, but he is not dead yet, but he is mighty busy looking after other folks, who are dead. He will render you prompt and efficient service.
Mr. Robert Morris, better known as "Captain Bob" arrived in the city this week from Braddock, Pa. He has been absent about eight years. While here he will be the guest of his daughter, Mrs. Nannie Thompson, 1509 Stockton Street.
When you speak of painting, either in the country or in the city, you should think of Rubens Paint and Glass Company, 1426 E. Main Street. Drop them a card for prices and mention The Planet. You will save money by buying there.

SAN FRANCISCO'S PLAN
HOW MANY CHILDREN?
A ROCKEFELLER RULE
5 BILLION ELECTRIC HOURS
Dr. Abbott, of the Smithsonian Institution, in 30 years' study, discovers that the heat given off by the sun varies greatly from day to day and year to year. The remarkable thing is that, sending its rays through more than 90,000,000 miles of ether at absolute zero, the sun has kept us warm enough to live for at least 500,000 years. One cosmic freeze would wipe us out.
There is no big and no little in science. Dr. Abbott spent 80 years studying the sun, which is a million times as big as our earth. Darwin spent thirty years studying the earthworm, half the size of your little finger, but longer, getting information as to the creation of our fertile soil.
San Francisco citizens develop scientific philanthropy. A meeting called by Messrs. Merrill, Fleischhacker, Shoup, Crocker and Miller discussed plans for making money useful to the community. These men are included in a group of fourteen worth more than $100,000,000, and determined to use their money wisely for public purposes, charity, science and education. They are studying the Rockefeller and other foundations, each will give what he can give to a central fund and they intend that the money be used efficiently.
That is an improvement on the ancient method, when each of the fourteen would have led a selfish, self-indulgent life, and then, separately, at the last minute, would have given money as a bribe to Providence in the hope of escaping hell and gaining paradise. The best way to achieve that result is to give to other men. The Lord does not need money.

THE ANNUAL
THREAT
John J. Hanlon, of Chicago, tells the national Government he intends to get married and wants "any literature on the Government's ideal, about marriage, particularly the size of the family the Government wants one to have." The ideal family is as many children as the MOTHER wants, and can take care of, and every mother should be allowed to decide for herself how many. Some small families have done wonders. Alexander the Great had no brother or sister. Caruso, on the other hand, was the nineteenth child; Napoleon was one of many. The size of the family is the mother's business, not the Government's business.
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., wise man, will not allow his children to have their pictures in newspapers. He doesn't want them to "feel important before they have done anything worth while." He doesn't even want his children to know that they are very rich—which also is very wise.
One of Mr. Rockefeller's children, asked to contribute $50 to some worthy purpose, said, quite sincerely: "They must think we are Vanderbiltits."
That innocent child doesn't know that her father and grandfather could buy the whole Vanderbilt family every little while, and not know the difference.
Sometimes Uncle Sam makes money. The big sugar men of the United States formed a "sugar equalization board" to control prices in the war. The Government put in $5,000,000, and yesterday received from that board, which ceases to exist, a check for $11,000,000, making a total of $41,-000,000 profit for the Government on its investment of $5,000,000.
Let there be light and power, is the motto of New York City. That one American community uses five billion kilowatt hours of electricity every year, more than the total amount developed by all the generating plants in Greece, Denmark, Latvia, Jugoslavia, Poland, Hungary Norway, Rumania, Turkey, Switzerland, Sweden and The Netherlands. Those twelve countries have 109,000,000 population, nearly twenty times the population of New York City—almost the population of the United States. The people's use of electric power and telephone is the measure of its prosperity and enterprise, if not actually measure of civilization.
About Your Health
by John Joseph Gaines, M. D.
RIGHT LIVING
If our scientists would give us a single volume containing rules for right living, put up in simple language so that all could understand, they would be doing humanity more good than the thousand and one useless fads being developed can ever do.
Where is the man who thoroughly understands eating and sleeping? How many lives are cut short by errors in these two essentials to life itself? How many men know the capabilities of their individual bodies for work? How many obey them, or have any kind of systematic program for the conserving of strength or the output of energy? We go, slip-shod, hap-hazard, break-neck to wreck and ruin so far as good health and consequent happiness are concerned.
We scorn the night and desecrate the day. We stuff the body and wonder why we have indigestion and blood pressure.
In the matter of rest we are as ignorant, or, if not ignorant, then in a state of rebellion. We should sleep eight hours. We should never hurry in eating. We should never neglect the necessary amount of water, internally and externally. We should never waste energy in worry over things we cannot help. We should be temperate in all things. One of our greatest exponents of temperance literally ate himself into premature death. Many others do the same thing. The distorted shapes that you see at the bathing beach bear witness to dietary crime that bathing will not cure. Man was not created in the shape of a hippopotamus. Right living will correct most of our evils by prevention—no telling how long we might live, if we observed the law of right living.

A married man's days are many and full of trouble. If he has a large family or a small one, his cup of sorrow is running over. A tender heart and a meek spirit will tend to lighten his load and improve his disposition.
Jack Dempsey is still champion. He is having more trouble avoiding a conflict than he would have facing an opponent in the ring. Harry Wills is still haunting him and he is worried to death over the final outcome of his double game in telling the public one thing and doing another.
Hon. Harry C. Smith, the brilliant editor of the Cleveland, Ohio Gazette, has announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for Governor of Ohio and is causing all kinds of trouble among the Republican forces of that State. He polled an unusually large vote during his candidacies. He is bitterly opposed to President Calvin Coolidge, alleging that racial discriminations in the governmental affairs of this country have been openly recognized by him. Colored people are rallying to his cause and contributions to aid in the expenses of his campaign are being received from all over the country. During his lifetime of public life, he has never wavered in his policies or in his principles.

While I wouldn't expect too much and the hardware man showy, "it would be a great comfort for me to know, seeing it." I'm over away, that things would be in charge of somebody who—" I see we are going to do business."
"But the eternal principles of economy and efficiency are immutable," declared Mr. Sherwool, pounding his desk. "They can be applied to anything. This corporation employs experts in every line. I've got man who can teach a hen how to saunce a man, and a man who can do anything, when it comes to applying scientific business principles, I'll admit that I never did run a household. Just for that very reason, I will. I do it cheap. I'll make you a low rate. I'll guarantee you results—big results." "Don't tease me," chided Mr. Brooke.
"Treasured. You've just suggested a field to me that opens wonderful possibilities. Why. I almost take the job for nothing; I would, except that it would violate the principles of efficient management."

JOHN W. BROOKE, hardware magnate, calls to discuss his bill for services rendered with Mr. E. H. Hammond, president of the Economy and Efficiency Corporation, Limited.
Brooke admires the newly created company for carrying papers. He admires the fact that the E. & E. has saved him $200,000 a year in the operation of the company, weeks to childe the president by making an entirely different matter.
Sherwood objects, but admits the he is not married. Brooke tans to Mr. Hammond, "And yet you say you know everything about anything."
gressively and poised a finger under the nose of his caller.
"Running a household is a business, isn't it?" he demanded.
It's not even a recreation "matter"
imagine, if you run it at all, it's a gift.
"Rot; it's a business! It must be!
Everything is a business. Eating is
a business; so is sleeping. It's a
business when you breathe. It's a
business when you talk. Why, thinking
is a business!"
Mr. Brooke shook his head wearily.
"What's your household investment?"
shapped Sherwood suddenly.
"Oh, I don't know. A big bunch of
money and three children, I guess."
"What are the annual expenses?"
"God know!"
Mr. Sherwood gasped and turned
pale.
"It's unbelievable!" he exclaimed.
"A man runs a household and he
doesn't even know what it costs! Rotten
business! What does its produce?"
"Worry."
"Can you sell that?"
"Can't give it away," sighed Mr.
Brooke.
"Amazing!" blurted the E. and E.
man. "Never dreamed of such a
thing in my life. Why, it's criminal!
It's an offense against law and order.
Why runs this household of yours?"
"Excuse."
"Everybody in it. Connie, mostly; and the servants some."
"Who's Connie?"
"My daughter Constance."
"And there's no system? No accounting?"
"No system I ever discovered, except handing me the bills and telling me to look pleasant."
"And you've never even tried to get at the cost?"
"Oh, I started adding up the check-stubs once, but I got scared," said Mr. Brooke rheiphys. "I had too many other things to think about."
"The E. and E. president leaned back in his chair and regarded his caller with pity.
"Worst case I ever heard of," he commented with a shake of his head. "Fleisch. What do you propose to do about it?"
"I wasn't figuring to do anything about it. What can I?"
"Everything. You can't go on forever this way. Why it'll ruin your character if it doesn't bust your bank account. You've simply got to stop it."
Mr. Brooke made a helpless gesture and recorded a mental note of regret that he had introduced the subject.
I haven't time to bother
now. I've got to go away
in a trip. Although it does worry
me about leaving the youngsters. I'm
a widower, you see. Connie is sup-
posed to be the boss home, but—well,
it all comes pretty high. I suppose I
will have to stand it."
President Sherwood glared indig-
nantly.
"Stand nothing!" he declared.
"When are you going away?"
"I'd get away this afternoon if I
could. It's a sudden trip."
"For how long?"
"Haven't figured exactly. I can
tell you in a few minutes."
"Never mind now. We'll get to
that later. Do you want this house-
hold of yours managed while you're

Mr. Brooke looked doubtful.
"and reformed?"
The man she financed the house
hold was curious.
"Reorganized, put on its feet wastage eliminated, economies effect, ed, efficiency installed, time saved success assured." Mr. Sherwool ratified it off briskly like a candidate with one speech.
The hardware man was obviously interested and not a little started. He wrinkled his forehead into vertical folds between the eyes and devoted a few seconds to thought.
"But if you never ran a house

"Don't"
"Don't do you mean?"
"Don't talk to anybody about it except me. If you get to talking you won't do it. Decide now. The golden chance is right here. You're going away. Fine! That closes the decks for my man. Mr. Brooke, you'll give my company full authority in this matter when you return I'll guarantee to turn over to you a household so thoroughly efficient that it'll pay you money to run it. You'll be able to capitalize it and sell the stock.
The hardware magnate hesitated. "I'm very fond of my children; I guess I'm indulgent," he confessed. "Indulgent? Does it help your child to be indulgent toward it? You should be kind, of course; reasonable affectionate, and all that. But indulgence is another thing. How much better if you did not have to be indulgent; how much more satisfactory to have an efficient, economical child who does not need to be indulged?"
"Big talk," observed Mr. Brooke, shaking his head.

While "wouldn't expect" too much, and the hardware man slowly, "it would be hard for me to know, seeing that I'm not away, that things would be in charge of somebody who—"
"I see we are going to do business," interrupted Mr. Shewoed.
"Oh, I didn't say so. But I was just thinking—"
Mr. Brooke seated and looked guilty.
"We'll get this on paper at once," said the E. and E. president.
He pushed three buttons on the edge of his desk. One operated as silent signal in front of the stenographer with the dark hair and pink cheeks.
She arose quietly and approached with book in hand. The second button caused the immediate appearance of a legal paper. The third button actuated the electric office-boy, who shot noiselessly into the room and came to a stop at Mr. Sherwood's elbow.
Mr. Brooke viewed the swift mobilization of forces with a feeling that he was about to take one of the momentous steps of life.

"Within Prison Walls."
Wins Fame Behind Prison WallsRemarkable Experience of a Brilliant Colored Man.
116887
By An Insider
(Reprint and publishing rights reserved exclusively by the author.)
"WITHIN PRISON WALLS."
(Editor's Note: "Within Prison Walls' in this issue was written by a young colored man, of good family and training, who for obvious reasons is withholding his real identity and who due to his ability, served (during a course of ten years) in his positions (as an inmate) one of which has never been filled by any other inmate of any race.
During this series he will dwell intimately on certain phases of prison life that are rarely, if ever, disclosed to the public.)
(Continued from last week.)
Before relating the nature of this disaster and without attempting to throw the blame elsewhere as I was the one wholly to blame, I will narrate a few incidents leading thereto. The reader will say that I should have been strong enough to resist temptation but, dear reader, after all a human life is a very frail thing. I had tried to reconcile myself with my former wife, who was living hundreds of miles away. I begged and pleaded for a picture of our dear little girl—a picture that would be strengthening to me to look at and work for but this was denied me and in the face of disappointment I did what thousands of others are doing constantly, even now in prohibition days, tried to heal a heart's wound by drowning it in liquor.
Twas true I had a business established and a responsible job on the side. I had everything—except that which all persons seek—some confidant, some mate, some one to satisfy the leisure hours; being in prison for a long time did not kill the desire for affection and this I sought. A paroled man, with a conscience, cannot force himself and attentions on the daughters of the ultra-respectable. There is and was but one solace. Those of loose and indifferent morals. With them no questions are asked and a temporary solace is found, even though sometimes at the sacrifice of one's freedom. Such were my co-minglings when Armistice Day made all the world kin, at least for that day.
Everybody was celebrating. I celebrated and in that celebration I went so far as to again break the law and when some time after the effects had died away I found myself in the county jail. With such awakening I was utterly ashamed of myself. Ashamed that such an ending should come with such a beautiful start and with such loyal friends behind me. The friends were real. Even now they had not lost confidence in me and they again attempted to square things up and forget and forgive, but higher authorities would not consent.
While I was on parole the Gubernatorial elections had been held and Mr. Freesdorf lost out. The new Governor did not reappoint him on the Board of Control and as he was merely "Acting Warden" and without such reappointment his power had vanished. A new Warden was in power and he would consent to no "arranging" matters, neither did he want me brought back to Jackson as a parole violator as he said it would have a bad moral effect on the rest of the men there. He insisted that I stand trial and if found guilty he be sent elsewhere in the State.
When the matter could not be fixed I was only too glad to go elsewhere as I did not have the heart to face my fellow-prizers, a failure after such a glorious send-off. I awaited trial. At one juncture I became so disgusted with myself that I purposely took an overdose of a nerve quieting drug in an attempt to end it all. I merely succeeded in terribly scaring the other poor fellows in the jail and the jail physician stated that the only reason I lived was because I had taken too much. In this frame of mind I would have done anything to escape the ignomy of the disgrace I was in and it needed but little coaxing on the part of two other fellow prisoners that if I would secure some saws and some acid they would make a "break" and take me with them.
I was well known and quite popular in the town and had droves of friends call to see me daily. I told them what to get and it was immediately brought to me. The other boys who knew how to use the stuff got busy and on a certain evening we were to go through a rear window, just at the beginning of dusk and before we were locked, into our cells, being permitted to roam the corridors, etc., but fate was against us for some "stool" tipped the plan off and about fifteen minutes before the regular lock-up time we were all ordered into our cells and the fall deputies began a systematic tapping of all bars on the outer windows, with the result that they soon discovered the tampered ones.
The jig was up. We were in for it. As is always the case any prisoner in a county jail who has once been in a penitentiary, regardless of the type of man he might be is the one on whom they suspect any jail delivery plans for that person is presumed to be a "hard nut." Immediately they called the new Warden at the prison. He came at once to the jail and of course I was accused. No use to deny and I didn't. He stated that I would be taken before prison.

His threat was not an idle one so the next day I got in touch with the Prosecuting Attorney and promised to plead guilty if he would take me immediately before a different Judge. Glad to save the county any unnecessary expense he gladly consented and I was taker, before the Judge at once when I pleaded guilty and pleaded with him to send me to Marquette Prison. I even volunteered to pay my own expense there as Marquette was hundreds of miles away at the other end of the State on the shores of Lake Superior. It was known as the 'Hell Hole of America.' One of the toughest places in America and in days past well represented its name.
The Judge consented and sentenced me to four to fourteen years at Marquette with the recommend of five years. This was decidedly better than the "limit" that I knew I would have gotten if I had waited and stood trial before the other Judge. I looked forward to a new life and knowing I was going to the toughest of the tough places I decided to take over again.

Richmond, Va., July 8, 1915.
A perfect cure has been effected by L. J. Hayden's Pure Herb Medicines. After waitin thirteen years and have not suffered from the horrible disease, Gravel, I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden:
Thirteen years ago tweve leading physicians of my city treated me for Kidney trouble and gravel without the desired benefit. These doctors advised me to be operated on, as that was the only chance for me. I was advised to go and get some of L. J. Hayden's Herb Medicine and try before being operated on. 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. I highly recommend L. J. Hayden's medicine to all suffering humanity.
I am.

224 West Broad Street,
Richmond, Va
I received your treatment O. K.,
and I have started to taking it
already for a few days, and it has
already begun to improve my al-
ment so I am sending to you for one
more bottle of medicine for the
b'hood. I have spoken to many of my
friends and they say they are going
to send for a treatment. I think it
is a great remedy. I do not suffer
with my pains as I used to and my
appetite is just fine and I sleep much
better every night and feel fine
monials from the Secretary of War and Army Officers of high rank and reputation are set forth in no uncertain terms. The following ringing words of Major General Boll, addressed to the famous "Buffaloers," the 367th Regiment, are typical of the high regard and respect of American and European officers for our colored troops. Every private in this regiment and most of the officers were Negroes. The General said: "This is the best disciplined and best drilled and best spirited regiment that has been under my command at this canonment. I predicted last fail that Colonel Moss would have the best regiment stationed here and you men have made my prediction come true. I would lead you in battle against any army in the world with every confidence in the out come".
THE NEGRO IN THE NAVY.
More than fifty pages of the Book devoted to the Achievements of the Negro in the American Navy—Guarding the Trans-Atlantic Route to France—Battling the Submarine Peril—The Best Sailors in any Navy in the World—Making a Navy in Three Months from Negro Stevedores and Laborers—Wonderful Accomplishments of Our Negro Yeomen and Yeowomen.
As we have fought for the rights of mankind and for the future peace and security of the world, the people want to be correctly and fully informed of the facts concerning OUR Heroes—and this is THE Book they are looking for.
THE ONLY HISTORY THAT WILL FULLY SATISFY THE AMERICAN COLORED PEOPLE
This Book appeals to the Colored People. They are eager to buy it. Why—Because it is the only War Book published that thrillingly, graphically, yet faithfully describes the wonderful part that the Colored Soldier has taken in the World War and is absolutely fair to the Negro. It relates to the world how 300,600 Negroes crossed the North Atlantic, braving the aroors of the Submarine Peril, to battle for Democracy. The loyalty and parriotism that characterized the black man's nature his sublime self-sacrifice, his indisputable bravery, the wisdom of Negro Officers in command of their own troops.
