Tunney Succeeds in Winning Title---Harry Wills Looms Upon the Horizon. VOLUME XLIII, NO. 46 THE F Colored Jack D Tunney Su The devastating hurricane at Miami, Florida has shocked the country. Its toll of death and destruction rivals the earthquake years ago in California. It is estimated that the number of dead will reach 400 and the injured 5,000, many of whom are colored people. No such catastrophe has taken place in that immediate section since the foundation of this government and it is one of the mysteries of nature. The following interesting report will explain itself: Fort Pierce, Fla., Sept. 20—Kirby Jones, representative of the American Bakeries Company, who left Miami on the first train out after the storm, described today conditions in that city during the hurricane. "The storm started at 1 A. M. Saturday," he said, "and raged until 2 P. M. Saturday. It started with a terrific wind followed a few minutes later by heavy rains. About 7 A. M. Saturnay both wind and rain abated. "It was this lull which indirectly caused most of the casualties. Hundreds of persons, believing the storm was over, started for work. But about 8 o'clock the rain began again and the wind grew more and more violent. "The city was covered with a pall of darkness which obscured everything. Between 9 o'clock and noon the wind velody reached its maximum. Thousands of homes were ripped from their foundations and the air was filled with flying timbers. "I was in a building seeking shelter from the storm when the roof caved in. There were about 150 other people with me at the time. All fled to a school house a block away. "It was a pitiful sight to see that crowd running through the drive mg rain, barely able to make headway against the terrific force of the wind. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 20—Vivid descriptions of the havoc wrought the hurricane at Miami were given by members of the train crew of the Dixie Flyer, arriving in Atlanta today from Jacksonville and cadrying Pullman sleepers from Miami and Key West. Roy Jackson of Chicago, a Negro porter, went through the storm in his car which was parked directly in front of the railroad station at Miami. "It was the worst thing I ever saw," said Jackson. "Our car was right at the station and from the time the storm hit about midnight Friday, until we left at 1:30 Sunday morning we were right in the middle of it." "There were three separate storms It began to blow and rain just after midnight Friday and continued to do so until about 7 o'clock Saturday morning. It was tedious. You couldn't see ten feet in front of you and the wind blew so hard it rocked the car like it yas a cradle. We were standing end-on to the wind, too, headed north and south. If we had been headed east and west the car would have been blown away. SECOND AND THIRD STORMS. "About 7 o'clock Saturday morning the wind died down a whole lot and folks began to get out and look around. Then it started up again and blew until noon, with another terrible rainstorm, and thundered and lightning and water everywhere. Then it died again and folks thought it was all over, but it started up the third time late in the afternoon, worse than ever. "We stayed in the car most of the time and about twenty-five people came and stayed with us for shelter. Their homes had been washed away or blown down and they had no place to go. The water was up to the body of the car in the yards at the station and three or four feet of water was washing through the station. "You can't imagine such a wind. Along toward daylight Saturday morning you could see limbs of trees, roofs of houses and great if timbers sailing along through the air, and the rain came in a regular sheet before the wind." "You could sit in the car and see parts of houses go sailing by. Telephone poles would snap off right close to the ground. "The Miami Tribune Building was twisted until it hung over the street and several large buildings and apartment houses were blown almost to pieces. "I noticed one building that was being erected near the station; it was several stories high and was built of steel. The wind hit it and tied those heavy steel beams into knots, twisted them all out of shape. It looked like a pile of scrap iron. "Automobiles parked along the streets were blown away bodily or washed against buildings by the water that ran through the streets. "Late Saturday night we were told by the railroad officials that we might be stalled in Miami fod a week, but about 1:30 Sunday morning they told us to get ready to go North. We left suddenly and had no passengers in our car. "It took us until 10 o'clock Sunday morning to reach West Palm Beach. Telegraph poles and trees were all over the track and we had to dynamite two houses that had blown on the tracks and blocked our way." "At Fort Lauderdale I saw about thirty bodies piled in a baggage car ready to be sent to Miami. We were told that a good many more were waiting to be gathered up for burial. "Debdis was several feet deep on the tracs in many places and we could just crawl along behind the crew of workmen cleaning og the rails." GOLDEN WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. John H.

Gene Tunney Wills Challenges the Victor. The victory of Gene Tunney over Jack Dempsey in the contest for the heavyweight championship of the world has been apparently received with favor by the entire sporting world, regardless of race or color, politics or religion. Harry Wills, the great heavyweight pugilist sat at the ringside with mingled emotions and saw Gene Tunney do what he had spent many anxious months in hoping to do. Now there is a new setting in the picture. Tunney cannot feel satisfied with the crown he has won until he has removed from his path to recognized pugilistic superiority, the one dark shadow upon his title. Wills has already challenged Gene Tunney. He, through his manager, Paddy Mullins did so before the two fighters had entered the ring. There is no other recognized contender for the title but Harry Wills and Tunney cannot refuse to meet him. Can Barry Wills defeat Gene Tunney? The reported statement of William Muldoon of the New York Commission that one of his reasons for opposing the contest between Dempsey and Wills was because Dempsey was not in a condition to meet a fighter of Wills' pugilistic ability and caliber seems to be borne out by the poor showing he made in Philadelphia, September 23, 1926, when at the end of ten rounds in a fight with Tunney, he was practically helpless. Ringside, Sesquicentennial Stadium, Philadelphia, Pa., Sept. 23—Gene Tunney, the fighting marine, is the new heavyweight champion of the world. He dethroned Jack Dempsey, king for the last seven years, tonight by smashing his way to decisive victory in a ten-round match that went the limit and furnished one of the greatest upsets in boxing history. Dempsey, only a shell of his old fighting self, was outboxed and outfought from start to finish, in a ond sided battle that was decided in a driving rain before a record crowd of 132,000 spectators. Tunney won eight of the ten rounds by a margin so decisive that no doubt was left of his supremacy, the Associated Press score sheet showed. None of the rounds was scored for the champion and only in the sixth and seventh was (Continued on page 8) THIRD ST. A. M. E. NOTES Last Sunday, September 19, The Educational Symposium at Tara St. A.

This Branch was opened just a year ago last July, with 1100 volumes. The demand has been so great that several hundred volumes are being added. Books on science, literature, art, religion as well as the best current literature and fiction of the day comprise these volumes. During the year over 2,000 readers have become registered members of this Branch. This does not include the large number who come to the library for research and personal reading, nor the number of children who enjoy story-hour on Friday afternoons. In addition to this service the library furnished books and magazines to the Girl Reserve Camp of the Y. W. C. A. The greater the demand on the library the greater will be the increase in volumes. Hence we are extending an invitation to those who have not become borrowers to visit the library, register and use it to its capacity. This service is free to men and women as well as boys and girls. Hours: 4 till 9 P. M. week days. Children's story hour every Friday. PRICE, FIVE CENTS ORIDA knocked. champion the Horizon. ers Itself in Glory the Grand Fold er Shepherds and Bethlehem-Enthu- gh. The late afternoon of September 12th found the members of the Board of Directors of the Improved Orcer Shepherds and Daughters of Bethlehem, the vanguards of the delegates to the 16th annual session of our Order, resting in the great City of Brotherhood Love in the care and keeping of the members of our Order. No pains had been spared by Directress Marcia Randolph to make the stay of the members of the Board of Directors a very pleasant one. Monday, September 13, promptly at 10 A. M. the Chairman, Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes called the Board to order and in her usual graceful manner opened the meeting with appropriate remarks. This was followed by remarks from every member of the Board. The report of the Executive Committee covering the year's work was read and approved by the Board. Tuesday morning, at the Holy Trinity Baptist Church, of which Dr. W. F. Graham is the honored pastor the Convention was called to order by the Grand Shepherd, Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes. The morning session was graced with the presence of Attorney J. C. Asbury, exState Senator of Pennsylvania, President of the Keystone Cooperative Banking Association, President of the Sesquit Centennial Negro Activities, and Major R. R. Wright, former President of the Georgia State Central College and now President of the Southern Citizens Bank. These two veteran leaders of the race electrified the delegates with their wholesome, uplifting and inspiring addresses Mr. James C. Moore, in a very pleasing address turned the Church over to the Shepherds. The outstanding feature of the first day afternoon session was the annual address of the Grand Presiding Shepherd, Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes. Her address gave unmistakable evidences of a leader with broad vision and a constructive as well as a progressive program. She treated minutely every phase of the Order and showed beyond a possible contradiction that the future possibilities of the Order were numerous and that with the proper cooperation she would soon place our beloved Order in the class of the most progressive fraternal organizations of this country. From start to finish she gripped the convention and held it spellbound as she poured forth the golden ideas embodied in the most outstanding and progressive programs ever enunciated to our Order. Tuesday night the flood gates of oratory were opened and the delegates of the convention were immersed in a great overflow of words of welcome from Mr. Horace Hopps, Mr. Addison Jones and Master Joseph Freeman. In two of the most choice speeches ever delivered to our convention, Dr. William H. Stokes and Rev. C. A. Cobbs responded to these welcome addresses.

John Randolph Tucker, ex-President of the Virginia Bar Association is a master of legal ethics and a statesman of the highest order in his expounding of constitutional law. We drew this conclusion from an address as published in the Richmond, Va. Times-Dispatch, of recent date, the same having been delivered September 20th before the Kiwanis Club of this city. The extracts are as follows: Unless present-day tendencies toward ultimate destruction of the present form of government are promptly checked, that government instituted by the founders of 140 years ago, and which has served so well, will be obliterated said John Randolph Tucker, vice-president of the Kiwanis Club, yesterday afternoon before that club. Mr. Tucker spoke briefly on "Government and the Constitution." It will not meet the physical fate of Sodom and Gomorroh, but its destruction is just as sure. At the time of the American Revolution, the theroy of the divine right of kings was generally accepted throughout the civilized world, which looked with contempt upon the then novel plan of a government of, by, and for the people—a plan so at variance with accepted despotic or oligarchical forms. Judged by accepted standards, indeed, the future of the new nation was by no means bright, but the fruition of the seed depends, in large measure, upon the soil wherein it is planted, and the seed of popular government sown in America, germinated, sprouted, grew and developed in a favorable soil and atmosphere until today we find this infant prodigy among the nations, and accepted leader, and the derided theory of constitutional government, an accepted fact in almost every civilized country of the world. This is a statement of a well known and accepted fact. Mr. Tucker says further: "A study of the development of Anglo-Saxon civilizations will reveal two basic, dominant principles underlying their political philosophies. The first of these is the principle of individual liberty, and the second, the principle of local self-government." And, further: "The perpetuation of our constitutional form of government demands a just assentment and a proper assignment of the powers of government as between two equal sovereigns. A usurpation of power by either involves a violation of constitutional guarantees and is a menace to the stability of our institutions." In the above statement, Mr. Tucker states basic principles as he says. When you destroy individual liberty, you sacrifice the fundamental right of a freeman. When you nullify the principle of local self-government, you destroy the constitutional right of an individual unit called a State. When Mr. Tucker speaks of the Federal Government and a State Government as being two equal sovereigns, he goes back to the bedrock platform of John C. Calhoun and Jefferson Davis. But this brainy Virginian "speaks out in the meeting." He risks his present day political future in his devotion to principles, which are eternal when he "comes home" to the day's issues and boldly declares as follows: "In the past thirteen years four amendments to the constitution have been ratified and adopted, and one is now before the several States for ratification or rejection. These, with one exception, further curtail the powers of the States and enhance the powers of the Federal government. The sixteenth amendment permits the direct levy of an income tax by the Federal Government; the seventeenth provides for the election of the United States Senators by the people; the eighteenth established national prohibition, and the nineteenth prohibits the States from curtailing the right of women to vote. The proposed twentieth would give Congress the power to prohibit child labor. If we understand Mr. Tucker correctly, he does not attack any one of these measures, although he may not be in favor of any one of them or he may be ready to support them all. His position is that they are one and all, with the exception of the election of United States Senators, which is a Federal question, the proper subjects for political discussion and legislative action by the States themselves acting as sovereign, individual units. The following seems to emphasize this position. "The point that I make is that they all, with the except on of the seventeenth amendment, invade the province of States as delimited by the Constitution; that they take from the States powers which admittedly belong to them, and concentrate such power in the Federal government, in violation of the basic principles of local self-government, the destruction of which is destruc- life of our institutions." Mr. Tucker concluded his remarks with the following peroration: "May I never live to see Americans and particularly Virginians, content to be governed by Federal bureaucrats; willing to have their daily lives, the habits, their business, regulated by aliens and the fine Anglo-Saxon traits of independence, personal responsibility and personal liberty, which made possible this country, but a memory." No one who has observed the course of his distinguished father in the Congress of the United States and who is known throughout this country as the gallant Harry St. George Tucker, a statesman of the Old School, will doubt that this youngster" in statesmanship and law is a "chip off the old block." It is refreshing, gratifying and we might add "heavenly" to hear such deliverances during these times, when men and nations are wandering in the wilderness after strange gods. Be that as they may, divine, immutable laws will ultimately bring them back to the old land mark. It may not be today, tomorrow or the next day, but they must return to the fundamental bed-rock principles of the Fathers or "go down to rise no more." RED MEN MEET IN PULASKI. PULASKI, VA.—The Independent Order of Red Men and Daughters of Pocahontas met in their 19th Great State Council with Cherokee Tribe, No. 105 and Ozella Council, No. 42, at Pulaski, Va., August 27, 28, 29, 1926. Promptly at 3 o'clock August 27th, the G. I. of the U.S. A. in the person of Mr. Charles B. Mattox rapped for order and in his customary unassuming manner declared the two Great State Councils opened for the transaction of all legal business due to be considered. The annual reports of Chiefs and Daughters were made, which proved to be a source of encouragement and inspiration to all. In these reports were narrations of many dangerous captures of palefaces, additional hunting grounds and the permanent maintenance of all previously acquired reservations. Also the wampum surpassed the amount reported in the previous eighteen years of the organization. Mr. Charles B. Mattox in his quiet way, gentle to the extreme, has brought the Independent Order of Red Men and Daughters of Pocahontas to a high mark in Redmenism, where scholars of secret order knowledge point to them as safe for fraternal and financial benefits. In fact, the order under Mr. Charles B. Mattox has gone over the top crying: Freedom, Friendship and Charity—its battle cry for humanity. Sadly we know that the founder of this Order is dead, but the object for which he established it still lives in the minds of the many thousands he inspired to join it. Really Dr. W. D. Woods is not dead—he yet lives in the uplift work of the Order. —the result of his sacrifices, his thought, his hope for his people thru the organization—he cannot die while it lives. . . At 1:30 P. M. August 29th, the Red Men and Daughters of Pocontonas met at their Wigwam to prepare for their parade, which left the Wigwam at 2 o'clock P. M., marching through the beautiful thoroughfares of the city to the very spacious and well-arranged First Baptist Church, where a very spicy program was arranged. The parade was led by the Radford Cornet Band, which played a quality of music noted for its thrills that touch the heart and move the feet. Invocation by Rev. King; a soul-touching spiritual by the choir; a lovely solo by Dr. Corbin, M. D.; America, by the Choir; Proclamation read by A. C. Flood, G. C. of R.; Welcome to Church, by Deacon John Dunkins; Introduction of His R. Mayor Coffee, by Mr. Charles R. Mattox, G. I., U. S. A.; Response by Rev. P. G. Gravely, who paid a glaring tribute to the Mayor and his ancestry whose noble mork made Pulaski a pleasant habitation for both white and colored people. Rev. Gravely also reminded the Mayor of the fact that his stand to maintain law and order in that beautiful little city of Pulaski is known to the far East, to the entire United States of America. Further, such sterling qualities as are possessed by the Mayor of Pulaski fits him well for a Mayor, but so much better for the Presidency of these United States of America, for indeed we all know that the best and only way of settling the differences between the two races they must meet with com mon aims, common terms, upon THE RICHMOND PLANET.

Ellis, the legal adviser of the Great Council was introduced and spoke briefly on the subject, Devotion: To your God, to your Church, to your Race. Suffice it to say a master mind beautifully handled a master subject. Solo by Dr. Corbin by request, Mrs. Julia Woods, the Great P. of the U. S. A. was introduced by Mrs. Effie Canady the G. P. of Virginia. The words of Mrs. Woods were sound and inspiring. Rev. Johnson, who spoke for the Mayor delivered to us one of the most timely addresses it had been our pleasure to listen to. In part he told us of the nature of the buzzard and the sky lark, then asked us which would we imitate. Finally, with words that burned to the soul he told to soar with the sky lark to the eternal heavens and to imitate only the best of any race. We can say of him, his was a Christian's appeal from a Christian's heart—by his fruit he is known.

Here she is shown on the porch reading the paper aloud to her son, John, who is 76. Lawrence H. Whiting chairman of the board of the Indiana Limestone company in announcing the initial division on the 7 per cent preferential recently, traced the remarkable success made by the new corporation. American business genius is clearly reflected in the rapidity with which the giant project has been carried out. In the span of a few months, properties of more than a score of large concerns in the famous Bedford-Bloomington district were acquired, the various units coordinated, and today the new company is functioning with the smoothness of a perfectly organized and long established corporation and, incidentally, effecting huge savings by elimination of duplicate efforts. Production efficiency has increased 90 per cent a remarkable record for so short a period. This is but one of a number of immense projects to the credit of Mr. Whiting, who is among the most promising of younger American bankers and who is still in his mid-thirties. In the formation of the Indiana Limestone company had the support of large Chicago New York and Cleveland banking interests. The Pedford-Bloomington district provides a very large proportion of all building stone used in America, and financial and industrial leaders say the new corporation is destined to rise to great heights in the next few years.

This novel club was organized last year by an enthusiast wished to play as many different links as possible and enjoy the fascinating experience of driving a golf ball around the world. A scores of amateur golfers of both sexes became enthused with the idea and joined the cruise of the Empress of Scotland in order to see themselves the time and trouble of looking after baggage transportation and hotel accommodations. They played in Egypt dia Ceylon, the Philippines, Iran, Japali and other countries FOR 38 years George Heinzelman spent his spare time searching over the United States for rare edition of McGuffey Readers. He found every McGuffey Reader that ever had been printed except one, a rare edition of 1863. One cold night last January Heinzelman was sitting near the radio receiver before the old log fireplace of his home in the quiet and ancient city of Chillicothe, Ohio. An announcer broke into the air. The station would present some "old-time music" by old-time fiddlers down in Georgia. Favorites of Henry Ford, the announcer told the hundreds of people through the "mike." Writes to Ford Heinzelman, who is a county commissioner, tips the beam at 385 pounds on the county's official scales. He liked the music. He wrote to Henry Ford and told him of the incident and at the same time mentioned that he was a collector of McGuffey Readers. Another letter, this time from Detroit. Henry Ford appreciated Heinzelman's interest in the old-time music. Would the county commissioner like to sell his set of McGuffey's? For two days Heinzelman thought it over. He believed, however, that he could get another set. He wrote Ford saying that for $2000 he would sell the 72 volumes that comprised the set, complete except for that rare edition of the third reader printed in 1863. Grippie descended on the Heinzel- Champ and were hospitably received everywhere and invited to come again. They found splendid courses clear around the globe and caddies who could hand out the right club for the shot and find the ball, even if they were Egyptians. Filipinos, Japanese or Hawaiians. The golfers who embark on the impress is in McMahon, will visit Hedera Gibraltar, Algeria, Monaco, Naples Haifa, the port of Jerusalem and Bethlehem. Port Said, en route to Calro.

Still driving the little white ball they will see Manila Hongkong, Chinwagtao on Ford Paid Ohio cient McGuffe M. man family and all except George III was down in bed. The telephone bell rang. George III answered. A few seconds later he dashed upstairs— "I just talked to Henry Ford," he told his father, "and he wants you to bring the books to Dearborn as soon as possible." A sure cure for the grippe. A few minutes later Heinzelman was dressed, had sent a telegram and two hours later was en route for Michigan. In his birth that night there re p Channel Swimm the way to Peking, Kobe, Yokohama, Honolulu, Hilo, San Francisco Balboa, Cristobal and Havana. In nearly every important port of call a golf course may be found, and at each port there will be a comprehensive program of golf or sightseeing. At the conclusion of the first globe-girdling tour, one of the golfers proudly displayed a ball which he declared he had played on the first hole of every links visited. Many times was a "lost ball" but the white, yellow and black caddies found it always. "Look at it!" he explained. "That's the golf ball I drove around the world!" posed close to him an old carpet bag, filled to the brim with McGuffey Readers, his treasure. Dearborn, Mich. A ride through the city with one of Ford's men. Then Henry Ford himself. The old carpet bag was opened. Ford's face was wreathed with smiles as he caressed the old volumes and finally turned to those that he had studied. In the copy of the old yellow-backed primer of '65 which Heinzelman handed to Ford there is a picture of a water wheel. Quotes Prayer in Verse Ford has reconstructed that water wheel and mill pictured at the Way Side Inn. In another part of the volume was the Lord's prayer in verse. "That is the only way I ever say that prayer." Ford told Heinzelman. He repeated it word for word without glancing at the book. The two men, widely separated and worldly possessions go, sat together that night at dinner and talked of McGuffey, quoting often from various volumes as only students and collectors of the remarkable educator's works can do. In the morning Heinzelman was personally conducted by Ford through his museum, to the Way Side Inn and other places of interest. Heinzelman came home and with him he brought a check for $2000 his expense money and four volumes of reprints of McGuffey Readers bearing the prized signature of Henry Ford.

I had Water Drunk By U. S. Equals Eight CHICAGO—More than 200,000,000 tons of water are consumed each year by dairy cows in the United States in order to supply the nation's milk needs, according to Herbert C. Hooks, secretary of the Evaporated Milk Association, in an address here. "A cow requires about four pounds of water for each pound of milk, when on dry feed" declared Mr. Hooks. "When fed fresh grass not so much water is required. Figuring the milk production of the country as 115,000,000,000 pounds in a year, the nation's dairy cows would have to drink more than 400,000,000,000 pounds, or over 200,000,000 tons of water PEN POINTERS Snakes killed 19,000 people in India during 1925. Nothing good for snakebite over there, either? A Montreal man seeks to divorce his wife because he finds she has false teeth. But proceedings are being instituted under statutes of the days of Louis XIII, which no longer have any teeth in them. Now that we've had a war to end all wars, probably the next one will be to end all debts. General Pershing visited Marshal Foch recently. They used to be on the same side, you know. Things you never hear: a bride's mother announcing that a newly married couple should be left alone. --- BEV proved for them that youth is no longer a matter of years but of conservation of vital powera. "Jaworski's 'blood marriage' that has given him world fame consists of transfusing the microscopically pure blood of the young into the veins of old age. In many authic cases, he has been worshipped by a miracle. But I have submit treatments and when he asked me for my own magic formula that has kept me young. I answered in two words, 'Correct living. That means a correct balance of diet, exercise, work, recreation, and sleep." S. Dairy Herds Niagaras Annually THE DRINKER THE DRINK per annum. To provide such a huge drink the American falls at Niagara would have to run twenty-four hours a day for over eight days. "Ordinary market milk is comprised of 87 per cent water and 13 per cent solids. In producing evaporated milk, 60 per cent of this water content is removed, which is why evaporated milk is twice as rich in butter fat and other food value as ordinary milk. Nothing is added to evaporated milk and nothing but water taken away. "Contrary to the general opinion the amount of water that a cow receiver does not seem to have any effect on the composition of milk, although it does affect the supply."

Wins Fame Behind Prison WallsRemarkable Experience of a Brilliant Colored Man. STREET By An Inaler Reprint exclusively by the author "WITHIN PRISON WALLS." (Editor's Note: "Within Prison Wall's 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.) This however was due to lack of evidence and not fact. The loss still remained. Simultaneously the death of Warden Russell occurred and deputy-warden Catlin was temporarily in charge of the prison and it was due to his iron-clad rule and square-ness that he had become known as "square-deal dep" a cognomen that he justly deserved. Mr. Catlin, for that was his name, insisted upon a thorough investigation and household cleaning and if any crookedness was going on in the front office he insisted upon it being purged thoroughly. WANTED THEM DISMISSED In doing so he insisted upon the dismissal of every official in the front office. Before the investigation had gone far, the newly elected Governor, Mr. A. J. Groosbeck appointed Mr. Catlin Warden. However Mr. Catlin would not take full possession of the front office and administrative end of the business until the investigation had been completed and confined his efforts to the disciplinarian end, leaving the administrative end to the public accountants who had been placed in charge by the prison board of control. After a few months of such administration the board appointed Mr. Anderson, one of the accountants, as chief clerk, responsible only to the board until its findings were complete. It was Mr. Catlin's desire, possibly urged upon him through the moral support of Mrs. Catlin, that I secure a front office appointment and while he had the authority to place me there he did not care to do so without the approval of Mr. Anderson. AN UNEXPECTED OPPORTUNITY The opportunity however came unexpectedly for both of us. The girl stenographer had been on her vacation and Mr. Anderson had an accumulated lot of correspondence that he wished to clean up and suggested to the warden that they engage an additional stenographer for a few days till the regular one returned. The warden told him that he had a young man inside the prison who could do the work quite as satisfactorily if he wished to try him. The chief clerk assented and I was sent for. By that time I had gained the good wishes of most of the officials and when the Hall-master came after me he told me to dress up in my Sunday best as I was going into the front office to work, something that was unheard of at that time. I hurriedly dressed and was speedily passed through the gates to the front office where in the hall the warden was waiting for me. He told me that the chief clerk had some stenographic work for me to do temporarily but for me to do my best as it meant a possibility of my remaining there for good. This I had all intentions of doing anyway. I took the clerk's dictation for a couple of hours, described and transcribed in quick order and returned the completed work to the clerk's desk and offered to return to my cell when the clerk was so agreeably surprised with the quickness and quality of my work that he asked me to do a little "billing" for him if I knew how. Certainly I knew how and did that work in equal dispatch with the result that what started as temporary work continued as permanent. A NEW DESK FOUND The regular stenographer soon returned and a new desk was found for me and as fast as I showed capability of doing any portion of the work same was assigned to me with the result, that being the only one in the front office who also understood the factory end, it was only a matter of a few weeks before I was handling all the orders of the overall factory, which at that time was their principal industry, and along this line it was up to me to devise sales plans, both direct-by-mail and through traveling representatives and, to OK and put through all orders received. In this capacity, with added responsibilities. I continued for some years, proving myself of considerable value to the prison and incidentally advancing my own interests to the point that eventually won for me another chance in life which will be duly detailed in its proper chronological order. "Gypsy Bob" was a nowadic sort of fellow, actually born in a prison, who was mother was serving time for killing her husband and was reforming self had been in, and out of reform school and prison so continuously that a prison sentence became to him only a raven of refuge for that period of time. - Strange as it may seem however he could always create a following amongst simpler minded crooks who looked to his type as a leader and in and around Detroit he had justly become known as a leader of a gang of men who were desperately sought after by the law. As always the case his gang eventually fell and one of the weakerminded split the beans" or in other words confessed to their depredations. WAS INFURIATEL This, of course, infurated Gypsy Bob and when they were all sentenced to the state's prison tre two of them agreed to meet on the first of the ensuing year in the prison yard and battle it out between them. Just two days before the first and keeping with Gypsy Bob's kind, he demonstrated the streak that was in him to always "cheat," not only the law but in all matters pertaining to his own welfare and coming from the dining hall one evening he stole up behind his former buddy and without warning stabbed him so fatally that he later died in the hospital. For this brutal assault Bob got life in Marquette and was transferred there the week after the writer first arrived there The writer and Gypsy Bob were always good frends. Why shouldn't we be? I was doing time with him. COULD MAKE FRIENDS I hadn't anything personally against him and I possessed the faculty of making friends with all types. From Gypsy Bob I learned a good deal about a side of life that I otherwise would have never known and from me Bob learned a great wany points that he could find useful. If anything Bob was shrewdly cunning and possessed an extraordinary amount of "mother wit." He was not a type that you would call a "squealer" but he immediately recognized conditions as he saw them in Marquette Prison and having life to do he realized that he must lay up to Warden Russell in order to help himself. Others realized the same condition but refused to yield either to their pride or principle to secure the desired end. However Bob did. I can say truthfully that I don't believe he ever caused anyone else any trouble in reaching its end but he did play up to the Warden in his peculiar manner. He pretended to show that never before in his life had he been understood. INTERESTED IN HIM Never before did he ever have half a chance, that Warden Russell was the only one who ever took an interest in him and tried to show him the better side of life. So real did he play his part that the Warden fell for his mannersisms and it was not long before the Warden gave Bob the very best openings in the prison, merely to prove to his own satisfaction, what he could do with a desperate killer under his humane system of administering penology. Bob secured even in his first and second year of a life sentence every privilge that the prison afforded. He became librarian and official photographer at which he could legitimately make from fifty to one hundred dollars a month. He had the privilege of wearing outside clothes, of going fishing and to picnics, outside the walls on Sundays and holidays. Bob was also shrewd enough to never betray the trust imposed on him, at least not at that stage of the game. By such actions he yon the implicit confidence of the Chairman of the Pardon Board, who also took a personal interest in Bob and for political reasons would point to him as an example of what modern and enlightened nenoloyy would do to the most hardened. Through all these manoeuvres the deputy warden hoyever saw through and thought of Bob only as one more lifer who had sufficient personality and common horse sense to prey upon the weakness of the Warden and reap the fruits therefrom. Bob was shrewd enough to sense the real feelings between himself and the deputy and when shortly after the Warden died and the deputy had been appointed Warden Bob signored that his "reign of power" as Bob would often express it, would come to an end. THE NEW WARDEN The new Warden told him point-blank though that he would not deprive him of any privilege within the prison but that his pigimages outside the walls would have to cease as he was not entitled to such privileges that men who had been there ten and fifteen years could not receive. Even such a compromise spelt defeat to Bob. One evening shortly after Bob was missed, from his cell at the last count, nine o'clock he being excused from all other counts, and it afterwards developed that under the cover of darkness he had out and climbed over the wall to freedom which did not last long however as yithin a couple of days he was caught and back in his cell. Even then he was not placed in the "bull-pen" as was customary, being merely locked in his own cell.

He immediately began refuge for what he took as his dethronement of power. To further his end he had to gain and take into his confidence others, chief of whom there was a real bad man named "Perry" who had once escaped the noose and twice escaped from state prisons in other states. Perry was a genuine bad man and one who had taken several desperate chances to escape from Marquette. A more desperate man there was not in Marquette Prison. Bob confided in Perry holding up a supposed chance to escape which brought the yhole-hearted support of Perry. With this pair others augmented themselves. THE GREAT TRAGEDY The day of the coupe came and as the writer was yithin a few feet of the entire tragedy same ill be related as it comes back to the memory of one who has tried to forget the most gruesome sight ever yitnessed by him. As was the custom on a Sunday morning the prison populace was sitting in the chapel enjoying the regular moving pictures when within the darkened hall and but a few seats immediately in front of the writer, some figures moved in the dark and when opposite the writer to the right one of them blurted out "Not a _____ _____ soul move or you are dead birds." The Warden and his deputy as was their custom were sitting in easy plush seats to the right of the auditorium and yith in a few feet of the writer. It was the assailants' purpose to steal upon the unsuspecting Warden in the darkness, stab him to death and return to their seats before the lights were turned on, at least that was Bob's idea. Perry thought however that it meant a jail-delivery and that the Warden would be forced to lead them out of the prison. TURNED ON THE LIGHTS At the first outcry of Bob the prison electrician turned on the electric lights and there gleamed in Bob's hand some glittering instruments which all took to be automatics which not suite a few believed to be plentifully supplied within the prison. The deputy warden immedately came to the defense of his superior officer hom he saw was about to be attacked and being an elderly man and not as spry as he had been a score of years before he was quietly bested in the affray with knife woundh in his back that lead to his death a few hours thereafter. His son who was sitting nearby came to his dad's rescue and without any implement of defense put up a fight that took all the ingenuity of Bob and his two assistants and their weapons to cast him aside with more knife punctures than it seemed humanly possible for any one man to endure and yet live. ... DARTED FOR THE STAIRS In the meantime the Warden realized his predicament and darted for the stairs when his departure was noticed and the attackers immediately sieged upon him battling their way down the stairs. Those of us who were eye-witnesses and able to do so followed down the stairs until we had reached the floor when this writer was grabbed on each wrist by sympathizers of Bob and commanded to go no further and standing there in immediate prospect of death the most brutal sight was forced upon the writer that words within the writer's range will not enable him to properly depict. The Warden rushed for the gate leading to the guard room and freedom but was thwarted by the close proximity of his attackers and rushed for the gate leading to the west cell block shouting at the guard tending the locks to lock the gate after him.

BYRD GOES AFTER LYNCHERS If it appeared that Governor Byrd was dilatatory in action against the mob that killed Raymond Bird, on his cot in the Wytheville fall, it was because the executive's views in the matter were not understood. No one was more shocked at the outrage than he; no one was more interested than he in seeing the perpetrators of this crime brought to the bar of justice. This interest was exemplified when he sent two lawyers, one of them an Assistant Attorney General of Virginia, to assist the grand jury in its investigation. Governor Byrd believes in community government. He hesitates to interfere in local affairs until it is clearly demonstrated that the State must step in to vindicate the majesty of the law. Again the Governor has revealed his desire to see justice done in the Wytheville lynching case. This time he has offered a reward of $1,000, supplementary to one of $100 offered by the Board of Supervisors of Wythe County, for the arrest and conviction of a single member of the mob responsible for the death of Raymond Bird. This is an unusually large amount to put up as a stimulus to citizens and officials in going after criminals. It is a clear indication that the Governor realizes the enormity of the ogense committed by the Wythe County hoodlums and is determined that they shall pay for the stain they have placed on the name of the Commonwealth of Virginia a. In the meantime, local authorities adee-ious in the pursuit of clues which may lead to the arrest of men who carried out the lynching bee. It's unfortunate that this thing should have happened. It is doubly unfortunate that there should have been two cases of mob violence, and possibly a third in Virginia within a short period of time. Occurrences of this sort leave a bad impression of us outside the State. We know, but strangers, perhaps, do not know, that here in Virginia such lawlessness is abhorrent to all respectable and all selfrespecting persons. It causes decent citizens to blush for shame. Members of mobs are doubly criminal: They violate the law and they bring the name of their State—a State jealous of its reputation—into disrepute. Governor Byrd reveals determination to break up mobbery in Virginia. It is to be hoped that all citizens and all local officials will back brm to the limit in this determination.

After waitup thirteen years and have not suffered from the horrible disease, Gravel, I desire to make a statement to L. J. Hayden. Thirteen years ago twelve 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. J. A. PAGE. 4 Auburn Ave., Richmond, Va IMPROVEMENT NOTED AT ONCE Mr. L. J. Hayden. 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 ail- ment so I am sending to you for one more bottle of medicine for the blood. 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 ity membership taking into account the quality as well as quantity of service the association is capable of giving the membership. In the past 15 years the membership of city associations has increased 400 per cent while the valuation of property has grown from less than a half million to three and a half million. Last year there were 137,000 men and boys in attendance upon religious meetings, and 26,900 at noon shop meetings. Personal interviews numbering 8,287 were conducted, 663 men and boys decided for the Christian life and 355 were led to join Christian churches. Thirty-five Hi-Y clubs, 10 state older boy conferences, and 20 summer camps helped the boyhood of the Race to cleaner and more cheerful lives. Evidence of the esteem in which the Y is held as a character-building force is seen in the recent gift of a trust fund of $100,000 by a white friend, George H Mathews of Buffalo, to be used for community work among colored boys. H. S. Dunbar is chairman of the membership campaign committee. Tunney, The Champion. (Continued from Page 1) he conceded an even break. In both of these it was more a case of Tunney's cautiousness than Dempsey's own attack that affected the scoring. Dempsey entered the ring a 4 to 1 favorite, backed as heavily as any champion in history. Experts had proclaimed him fit, in spite of his three year lay-off, but except for a gallant stand and a few flashes of his old self, he was outclassed. Dempsey was far from the furious fighter, the "Tiger Man," who smashed his way to sensational victories over Jess Willard, Georges Carpentier and Louis Firpo. Gone was the devastating punch, the furious aggressiveness that marked him as one of the most feared men in the ring. The champion's downfall, in the disappointment of his showing, was reminiscent of the defeat of James J. Jeffries by Jack Johnson, in the first heavyweight battle Tex Rickard ever promoted, in 1910. Dempsey, like Jeffries, went into the ring a big favorite, only to exhibit little championship fighting qualities. Chiefly because of Dempsey's lethergy and Tunney's intermittent cautiousness, the bout had few thrills, few spectacular moments of the sort that have punctuated most of Dempsey's battles since he detroned Willard on July 4, 1919. There were no knockdowns nor the semblance of any except for one or two occasions when the fighters each slipped on the soaked and slippery surface of the ring. (Preston News Service) S. C.
