VOLUME XLIII, NO. 52 DEMO Republican BLOOD Three M PEOPLE The election last Tuesday resulted in the failure of the Democratic leaders to overturn the Republican majority in either the United States Senate or in the House of Representatives. In the former body, it is known that the Republicans have lost four seats, the two most important being now occupied by Hon. James W Wadsworth of New York and Hon. William M. Butler of Massachusetts. President Calvin Coolidge made frantic efforts to save the latter. As strange as it seems, the election of Governor Sloan J. Fuller, Republican over Col. William A. Gaston, Democrat redeemed Massachusetts in a sense. ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN Illinois went Republican with Frank L. Smith, Republican candidate for Senator leading Gov Alfred E. Smith of New York, has been re-elected by a plurality of 315 - 000. The Republicans carried the lower branch of the legislature, losing only four members. New York went Republican re-electing Frank modification of the Volstead law Illinois voters voted wet also. In the Ninth District of Virginia, the Democrats were again successful by a majority in excess of 3 000. OTHER STATES SAME WAY Pennsylvania went Republican by its usual majority. William S. Vares Republican wet was elected over William B Wilson Democratic dry as United States Senator. Governor John S. Fisher was re-elected. Idaho went Republican re-electing Frank R. Gooding to succeed himself. The indications in Colorado are that Charles Waterman, Republican, has been elected United States Senator. DEMOCRATS FAIL TO WIN New Hampshire re-elected Senator George H. Moses as Senator from that state. United States Senator Porter H. Dale was re-elected in Vermont over James E. Kennedy. Democrat. The indications are that the Republicans have won an additional seat in Kansas. The state went Republican. Alfred E. Smith, who was expelled from the Virginia State Senate and who had no opposition was re-elected. The country's only remaining woman governor, Nellie Tayle Tross of Wyoming, did not find easy going so easy, her Republican opponent running almost even with her on incomplete returns. South Dakota, indulging in much but scratching, apparently had elected W. J. Bulow as its first Democratic governor in a quarter of a century. Former Governor Davis made out poorly in his attempt to come back as Democratic nominee in Kansas, but in Nebraska former Governor Charles W. Bryan the running mate of John W. Davis in 1924, was keeping close to his Republican opponent. Governor McMullen. Despite its defeat of Senator Butler, Massachusetts re-elected Governor Fuller, Republican Wet Dry Returns Incomplete Prohibition figured as an issue in several of the senatorial and gubernatorial contests, and in eight states some feature of the dry laws was voted on directly as state wide referendums, but the wets and drys still were figuring over the incomplete returns today before announcing their deductions. Governor Smith in New York and Governor Ritchie in Maryland ran on wet platforms, while Governor Donahay of Ohio was endorsed as a dry. Frank L. Smith, successful Republican senatorial candidate in Illinois, was endorsed by the Anti Saloon League which described his Democratic opponent. George E. Brennan, as a "super wet" The same appellation was applied by the league to William S. Vare, in Pennsylvania. In Ohio, Senator Willis Republican, and ardent dry, won handily over former Senator Pomerene. Voting by referendum for modification of the Volstead act New York state returned a wet majority of about 3 to 1. The voters of Illinois passing judgment on a similar proposal apparently endorsed it likewise by a substantial majority. Wis consin returns established an early overwhelming lead in favor of a petition for 2.75 per cent beer while first incomplete figures showed majorities in Nevada in favor of a modification appeal to congress. POCARONTAS NATIONAL RANK CASHIER EMBZZLED FUNDS (Special to The Times-Dispatch.) Bluefield, W. Va., Oct. 17. The First National Bank of Pocahontas failed to open for business today and is now in charge of D. R. Wood, national bank inspector for this district. A shortage that will eclipse the capital and surplus has been found it was stated by Mr. Wood. The bank will go into the hands of receivers at once. James H. McNeer of this city and for many years cashier of the First National Bank of Pocahontas, has signed a statement, according to the bank examiner, exonerating all bank employees in the failure and taking upon himself the blame. Mr. McNeer in his statement admitted that for about fourteen years he had been taking money from the deposits from time to time, hiding the fact successfully from the directors and bank examiners, and hoping some time to replace the deficit. At present the statement said, more than $100,000 has been taken and that (Mr. McNeer), was not able to replace the money. Mr. Wood, the examiner, in a statement shortly before noon, declared that in his opinion "all depositors would be paid in full and that the loss would be sustained by the stockholders in the organization." Mr Wood was called to Pocahontas last night from Lynchburg by W R. Graham president of the bank, since the organization of the institution in the early days of the coal development in the Pocahontas fields. Mr. Graham said he discovered the shortage yesterday and immediately sent for Mr. Wood. Last night the examiner and the directors of the bank examined the books, disclosing the shortage. Mr McNeer then made his statement. The First National Bank of Pocahontas is capitalized at $35,000 and has a surplus of $70,000 and has enjoyed a large patronage for many years. News of the shortage at the Pocahontas institution came as a thunderbolt to this immediate section as well as the directors and bank examiner. Examined recently, the institution was declared in good shape for, the bank examiner explained, the juggling of the books and the deposits not posted could not have been discovered by anyone. The details of the way in which Mr. Graham discovered the shortage were withheld. Shortly before noon Mr. McNeer was taken to Tazewell for a hearing before a United States commissioner, and it was understood he would be released on bond in the sum of $25,000. The cashier of the First National Bank of Pocahontas has lived in Bluefield for a number of years, having a residence on Summers Street. He is connected with a number of business concerns in this city. Steps are being taken today to have a receiver appointed for the defunct organization at once. These appointments come from Washington. Until the receiver is appointed Mr. Wood will have charge of the bank. RICHMOND VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1926 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA PROMOTES COLORED STAR Colored Substitute to Replace Star Tackle on Bear Varsity. Berkeley, Cal., Nov. 5.—(Pacific Coast News Bureau.)—Robert Francis, former star player in his prep days as captain of the Polytechnic High school team of San Francisco, who was side tracked to the substitute bench by the late Andy Smith, has finally after two years of waiting been promoted to his rightful position as a member of the varsity squad. Replaces Famous Tackle Francis, a sensational halfback in his prep days was shifted to the line by Smith when he entered the University of California. Failing to function with merit in this position, he was sidetracked to the bench. This year after defeats by St. Mary's; the Oregon Aggies and the University of Southern California Coach Clarence Price seeking new material for positions left unoccupied through injuries, decided to give Francis his chance with the varsity place replacing Fred Coltrim who with Patterson of Standford U and Price Taylor of Goldsboro University of Southern California are rated as the best tackles on the Coast Coltrin was injured in the recent games with the University of Southern California.

FOUR SHOT AT DANCE (Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) Ernest Jordan is under arrest in the St. Philips Hospital charged with shooting Harold Peace, Leon Fields, Corinne Meyo, William Mitchell, three men and one woman, at Hotel Biltmore Hallowe'en Night, Saturday, October 30, 1926. This celebration was being observed all over the city and Second Street, practically from one end of it to the other was a center of attraction, or at least that part of it from Broad, Street to Duval Street. A Hallowe'en dance was in progress at 520 N. Second Street between Clay and Leigh Streets. Outside of having a good time there was no disorder. The closing hour, 12 o'clock came and the last dance was on the boards when Ernest Jordan began his indiscriminate firing with the above stated result. TRYING TO GET AWAY It was Sunday morning that the information was obtained. The report had been given out that one of the injured people was dead. The undertakers had not been informed. Calling at the Second Street Taxi Service Station, it was stated that the man doing the shooting had gotten in a taxi there. Just at that moment a taxi went by and this one was pointed out as the car that carried Jordan away. It stopped several blocks away at W. T. Gray's Filling Station and was overtaken there Chauffeur H C. T. Cerry who resides at 203 W. Baker Street said: "I was parked on the corner, Leich Street at Second Street, two cars being ahead of me. REFUSED TO CARRY HIM "The first car refused to carry him. The men with him put him into my car. He said he had been shot. The men got in with him and carried him to 609 N Sixth Street. He called a Mr Darling. He told him he got hurt jumping over a hamster. It was either sprained or broken. They carried him to St. Philips Hospital. I think it was around 12 o'clock. As soon as we got to the Hospital two or three nurses come to the door and said, 'They are bringing some more.' This led me to understand that others had been shot and had been brought there. As they were carrying Jordan into the Hospital, two or three fellows were coming out. RECOGNIZED HIM d the shooting.' I then left the Hospital." "Calling at the Second Police Station, 'Time they saw Jordan coming in,' she said. 'Yes he is the one that 'ton Sergeant W. E, Clark was at the desk. 'You could not have come here at a worse time for information,' he said. He was posting his records being assisted by another officer, but read from the record, 'Ernest Jordan, arrested charged with shooting four people Harold Peace, Leon Fields, Corinne Mayo, William Mitchell.' The prisoner was not at the station, but was under arrest at St. Phillips Hospital. After enquiring about the condition of Captain John J. McMahon, who has been indisposed, we left and a few moments later we were at Leon Fields' residence. 405 W. Clay St. LEON FIELD'S STATEMENT His mother-in-law answered the bell and in reply to a query said that Mr. Fields could not come to the door. "Tell him that John Mitchell, Jr. is here." A short time afterwards she returned and ushered the reporter into Leon Fields' room. He smiled and said, as he lav in bed, suffering from two bullet wounds one in the arm just above (Continued on page 4) 37TH ANNIVERSARY Y. M. C. A. The 37th Anniversary exercises of the Y. M. C.

Entering in the west door of the Colonial, which will be marked "Colored Entrance", the patrons will ascend the stairway, to the main entrance and turn to the right, following the stairs to the reserved section which will be to the right of the projection room and will be partitioned off in the west section of the main auditorium, the entrance into the seats proper being from the rear of the upper tier of seats.

On account of the undemocratic spirit of the various high school members of the Cumberland Valley Athletic League all four games have been cancelled because the local team has a Negro player on the team. The authorities of the local school would not play the game unless they could select the personnel of their own team. The game with Winchester, Va., was called off last Thursday. Martinsburg, W Va., Hagerstown Md., and Waynesboro, Pa., had previously called off games with Chambers-schools and that a "georgetown man" agreement" provided that no Negro player would be used in the league. The Chambersburg school officials declare that no such agreement existed. PROF. ROBT. D. JONES DEAD.

It is understood that they will be represented there with "every leg up and toe-nails dragging." TUESDAY'S ELECTIONS The result of the elections throughout the country last Tuesday while not a source of gratification to the Republicans furnishes no cause for elation on the part of the Democrats. In New York, the disgruntled "drys" rebuked Senator James W. Wadsworth, "wet" by electing a Democrat wringing "wet." In Massachusetts, disgruntled Republicans, who had enmities against Senator Putler, President Coolidge's friend, elected a Democrat in his place. It is alleged that Senator Butler unmercifully attacked Massachusetts' favorite son, during the last years of his eventful career. In other sections of the country the Republican forces held up well and prevented the capture of both branches of the Congress as the Democratic leaders had predicted that they would do. It looks as though a Republican will occupy the White House at Washington for the next term. As for the Democrats they are divided into two hostile camps. Hon. William G. McAdoc is the recognized leader of the opposition, which will contest the overpowering influence of Tammany Hall as represented by Gov. Al Smith of New York. There is no longer any doubt that no Republican nominee can carry that State against this intrepid leader of Democracy, but enough other States will be lost to the Democratic Party in the event that he is nominated as to make Democratic success at the polls impossible. The campaign will now be framed along these lines Gov. Smith cannot transfer his supporters to any other candidate. It begins to look as though both parties have "run out" of available material for the presidency. President Calvin Coolidge is the strongest candidate that the Republican Party can name, but visions of a so-called third term will tend to chill the support that otherwise might be enthusiastic. So far as the colored voter is concerned, he has much to think about between this time and the next presidential election. On the face of the returns, the Republicans are in much better shape for a presidential contest than the Democrats.

I had told the orchestra to play, 'Home Sweet Home.' I heard two shots and turned around to look and I saw a man with a revolver in his hand. He had shot twice and he was still pulling the trigger, but the weapon did not go off, until after I had grappled with him and then he shot me twice. I lost my hold on him by the crowd closing in and trying to get out of the hall. He shot me after the crowd, had knocked me down. "I got up and ran after him. He ran out on top of the front porch, and jumped to the ground, breaking or spraining his ankle. Tabb Jackson and others helped him into the car. He told them he had been shot by an officer. Two officers were in the hall at the time. There had been no disorder in the hall and there had not been a crossword spoken. I remained there until I had closed up. Dr. George W. White treated me. The bullets went through the arm and leg. I then came home. My mother in law did not know I was shot until about ten minutes before you came in.

A visit to St. Philip's Hospital shortly after 2 P. M. Monday, 1st list, developed the fact that all of the persons shot at the Biltmore Hotel were improving. William Peace, who was shot through the leg did not know anything more than he had been shot. Ernest Jordan was in a room, where friends were permitted to visit him. The officer sat at the head of his bed and listened to all that was said. A copy of the Planet was handed to him and to the prisoner, whose brother and friend also sat at the bedside. In reply to queries his brother Albert Jordan said that he was a porter on the Pullman car. He was 26 years of age and his brother, Ernest, 21. The family were from Hartsville, South Carolina and had been four years. ATTORNEYS RETAINED His brother, Ernest, was a waiter at the William Byrd Hotel, and his brother's age was 21 years. T. Gray Haddon, Esq, and L. O. Wendenburg, Esq had been retained as counsel. Leaving Ernest Jordan reading a copy of the Planet "Extra," a visit was made to Corinne Mayo, who was in the next ward. She said that she was dancing with Ernest, to whom she is engaged. William Mitchell was also dancing with his sister and as he passed her he touched her. Mitchell is married. Jordan wanted to fight, but two times she kept him from doing so. He asked Mitchell to go down stairs with him. She pulled him away. DID NOT MEAN TO SHOOT HER Ernest did not mean to shoot her. Her leg was broken by the bullet. She was 17 years of age. She knew William Mitchell. Returning to Ernest Jordan's room, he was told what Corinne had said. He had been reading the Planet. He braced on at once and said, "I'll tell you all about it." Corinne and I were dancing together, when William Mitchell, who is a married man and who was dancing put his hand on Corinne's breast with a downward motion. I wanted to fight him and asked him, downstairs. Corinne urged me not to fight him. Then Mitchell stood in the door and made a motion to put his hand, in his pocket and then I fired. He had his crowd there and he had more friends there then I had and I knew that they would do me up." It was not known whether or not Jordan's ankle was broken. The surgeon was waiting for the development of the X-ray plates. Book to William Mitchell's cot and he said, "I was dancing with my sister. Yes I am married. Corinne visits my sister and I know her well. I touched her on the head or shoulder and did not touch her on her breast. I heard Ernest tell her that I was one of her men and she denied any such thing. I did not put my hand in my pocket for he shot me from behind. I did not know I was shot until all at once. I got weak." THE GIRL'S STATEMENT Another visit to Corinne. "Yes, he was dancing with his sister. He put his hand on me where he had no business. She intimated after some persuasion where that was. Yes the bone in my leg is broken, but Ernest did not mean to shoot me." Back to William Mitchell's cot and he said, "I did not put my hand on her breast. I was with my sister and it would have been out of the question for me to have done such a thing." Four people shot, with one woman's leg broken and with the principal in the affair under arrest at the hospital. The culmination of a night's enjoyment and high temper.

WEAK BACK STRENGTHENED QUICKLY BENEFITS BEGIN AS SOON AS RED CROSS PLASTER IS APPLIED. If it hurts your back to lift a heavy object, if you have strained the back muscles, if a "cold has settled in your back," or if you suffer from lumbago, put on a Red Cross Kidney Plaster and you will get blessed, comforting relief almost at once. There are many reasons for this remarkable result. The plaster gives the support needed by the weakened sore muscles. It provides a continuous automatic massage with every movement of the body, thus relieving congestion and stimulating circulation in the affected tissues. But perhaps the most important benefit is derived from the marvelous medication in the Red Cross Plaster which is absorbed through the skin and goes directly to the weak, sore lame muscles, quieting the pain and relieving the irritated nerves, and restoring the free use of the muscles thereby to bring back your normal strength. Be sure to ask for Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster with the red flannel back and you will get the greatest benefit in the quickest time. At all drug stores. Getting Skinnier Every Day. HOLLOWS IN CHEEKS AND NECK GROWING DEEPER EVERY WEEK Something Must Be Done and Done Right Now—Quick. Tens of thousands of thin, run-down men—yes, and women too—are getting discouraged—are giving up all hope of ever being able to take on flesh and look healthy and strong. All such people can stop worrying and start to smile and enjoy life right now for McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Compound Tablets which any drugist will tell you all about, is putting flesh on hosts of skinny folks every day. One woman, tired, weak and discouraged, put on 15 pounds in five weeks and now feels fine. We all know that Cod Liver Oil is full of vitalizing flesh producing vitamins, but many people can't take it because of its horrible smell and fishy taste and because it often upsets the stomach. McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Compound Tablets are as easy to take as candy and if any thin person don't gain at least 5 pounds in 30 days your druggist is authorized to give you your money back—and only 60 cents for 60 tablets. Ask any druggist. But be sure to get McCoy's, the original and genuine, and bear in mind that for thin, sickly kids they are wonderful—a very sickly child—age 9—gained 12 pounds in 7 months.

DEWARE PARATHYROIDISM. 12,000,000,000 CELLS. SELLING RELIGION. WALL STREET is as sensitive as Sweet Alice in the old song. She would "smile with delight when you gave her a smile, and tremble with fear at a frown." The frown that startles the speculators now is Europe's suggestion that tariffs be wiped out. This land would have reason to tremble with fear if that "down with tariffs" suggestion were applied to the United States. We might a swell go out of business, start all over aged, wearing homespun and living off our crops. But that won't happen. Science says, "Keep twenty pounds under what you think is your normal weight and avoid hyperparathyroidism." Dr. Pfleuer discovered that now kind of obesity, says many have it, that do not know it.

D. My readers doubtless feel that, all has been said about the national morning beverage, that can be said. There is an old admonition, I recall distinctly—"If you can't say anything good, say nothing." Discussing my old friend, I shall mention only the virtues. Who has not found relief from distressing headaches in the amber cup—especially on extended journeys? Ask the soldier on the strenuous march, or after the hard-fought battle; ask the laborer in whatever field his endearance is expended; ask the excursionist, the vacationist on his camping trip, if coffee isn't a genuine blessing undisguised. Most everybody knows that caffeine is the alkaloid of coffee—a heart and nerve stimulant of exceedingly dependable action. The physician prescribes caffeine with absolute confidence, in neuralgia conditions, to offset the depressing influence of more powerful pain relievers; there is no more reliable drug. People that have high blood pressures from other causes, should always proceed under the advice of the capable physician; here, coffee may be prefilled; but, that coffee is a cause of high blood-pressure I cannot believe; if it were, there would be nothing easier of cure than the tension produced by the drug—simply by abandoning the cause. I do not believe there is a "coffee habit" any more than I believe in a milk habit, or a meat habit, or a bread habit. Coffee for breakfast only, is a good rule for users. One cup is quite sufficient for the adult. Children do not need stimulants. Mild, black coffee is easier for the stomach than when creamed and sugared. of Canada PRESS HOTEL quotations it can be readily understood why the climate is so delightful and why tourists visit Victoria to avoid snow.

BROOKE, widower and hardware magnate, has arranged to have his home management engineer for a period of months that he will be away from family life without the knowledge of his children, Constance, Billy and Adam who do not realise the enormity of his progression until the arrival of H. HEDGE, efficiency engineer, over their father's suite, turn a mill into an office, and proceeds to make economy and scientific management. Hedge hasBrookes household. Hedge has of the allowance of Constance and Billy when they refuse to go to work. Allen payroll at a 50 per cent reduction because she is attending school. Hedge has also been the means of preventing Constance from coping with Tommy Treadwell. By means of a scientific beating administered to Tommy by Hedge on New Year's morning. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "that you would reconsider." He, was addressed Constance Brooke, who had entered the "office" for the purpose of getting a book. In the episode of the courtyard there had been no speech between them. Constance had been having meals sent to her home, a proceeding to which H. Hedge interposed no objection. He was in a mood to make concessions; he was thankful for the gloom of the back stairs. Constance looked at him sharply and flushed. "I have reconsidered," she said shortly. "I shall not marry." The efficiency man's pulse skipped a beat, but he preserved an exterior calm. "Very good," he nodded. "I presume you refer to Mr. Treadwell." "To anybody—everybody!" Her back was turned toward him and her fingers were running lightly over the books on a shelf. "That is what I should call a wholesale reconsideration," he remarked judicially. "It is sufficiently inclusive to be ominous. The world will wear mourning. However—" He paused as he noted the deepening pink of her ears. "However—" He paused again, this time to observe more closely the poise of her well-set head. Constance dropped a book on the floor and stooped to recover it. "However, that is not what I wanted you to reconsider." She picked up the book and faced him, her cheeks affame. He was laughing at her, she knew; he had tricked her! Yet his face was impassive and wholly devoid of mirth. In fact, it was thoughtful. Even in her anger and confusion, she wondered what imperious necessity compelled H. Hedge to be so consistently intolerable. "What I wanted to reconsider," he explained. "was your decision not to assume the duties of a secretary in this establishment." Yes, he had tricked her! She was raging at herself for having fallen into the snare. Yet how was she to know that he did not intend to refer to the downfall of Tommy Treadwell? Her own mind had hold no other, thought for the past twenty-four hours. The whole business of trying to escape from serdism had humiliated her. She was even angry at Tommy. Perhaps he had done his best—but why hadn't he done better? He was bigger than H. Hedge; he was stronger. Why didn't he win? Problem of efficiency really meant something, after all. Yet, as she stood confused and asperaed, the turmoil of her mind suddenly resolved itself into calm. In that instant a great idea was born. Constance was utterly amazed at the discovery. The idea was nothing that she had groped or striven 1 This is the latest—nob that is not a bob. Josephine Norman (above) started the tad in Hollywood, Calif. when she didn't know whether or not to have her hair hobbled. She compromised by having the sides cut, leaving the hair long in the A man riding a donkey in a field. Sturdy Jewish girls are shown watering their burros in the historic Jordan River in Palestine. Various Zionist agricultural and hydro-electrical development is centering on the river. for; it simply flashed upon her. Yet it was the solution of the whole terrible problem! "Buck up!" she whispered to herself. "Play the part. This is where you win!" The efficiency man waited politely for her to reconsider the secretarial proposition. She steeled herself to the task, summoned all the Spartan in her nature, and smiled at him. "I had forgotten about your need of a secretary," she said. "It still exists, Miss Brooke." "Then show me what to do please." It came so suddenly that the efficiency man found it necessary to steady himself against the desk. He had been prepared for battle; not abject surrender. "Why-er-yes," he said. "Glad to show you. There's a lot of back work, you know." Constance, working at the other RJ SCHMIDT Whatever Connie was doing, she was doing willingly, and she was taking orders. side of the library table, was a disconcerting vision, even to an efficiency man. There was a freshness in her checks that suggested a rose-garnish. Her gray eyes were steady and serene. Tendrils of hair curled about her cane in a unique way, H. Hedge, decided, that she could not remember having observed a similar phenomenon before. She had firm, assured way of using her hands that astonished her. They were quite capable of filing papers as they were of punching a leather bag, in addition to which they were exceptionally well manoured. Never a word passed about Tommy Treadwell. The new secretary had apparently forgotten the matter in the intense observation of her work. Alice made the initial discovery the very first day. She was home from school early, and, glanding in at the library as she passed through the hall, was rooted in her tracks by the spectacle of Constance standby at a file-case with her hands full and papers. The efficiency man was at her elbow and was talking gibly about something; Alice could not hear the words. It was the attentive, almost eager, attitude of Constance that chiefly amused her. Whatever Connie was doing, she K The younger sister stole upstairs, a prey to perplexity and forcoding. What she had seen was beyond all belief. It was such an inexplicable thing that she did not even dare to share the secret with Billy, far less to mention the discovery to Connice. But it kept Alice awake for at least an hour after she went to bed. Billy did not become aware of any unusual development until the day following. It was the middle of the forenoon when he blundered into the library, intending to make a final plea for gasoline money. Constance was sitting at the desk, and the efficiency man was pacing the floor, talking. Billy halted and opened his mouth involuntarily. "And make a note of this." H. Hedge was saying. "To notify the servants that hereafter all orders for supplies, in excess of one dollar, must be certified at the office before being delivered to tradesmen." Constance nodded as she put it down. "Anything I can do for you?" asked Hedge, as he observed Billy. "I—hum." "I didn't understand. Repeat, please." Billy coughed and stared at his sister, who glanced up, evidently annoyed at the interruption. "Wha—what are you doing, Connie?" he blurted. "Working," she answered shortly. "What are you doing?" The question was disconcerting, and Billy instinctively qualified under it. "Working?" he repeated dully. "W-o-r-k-i-n-g," spelled Constance coldly. "What was the last, Mr. Hedge?" She smiled up at the efficiency man and poised a ready pencil. "Just a moment, Miss Brooke," he answered. Then, turning to Billy: "Your work then taken up her secretarial work in the most admirable spirit. May I ask when you will assume your clerkship?" The question was brutal, not because it involved work, but for the reason that it suggested comparison. A secretary may be a very important person. Presidents of the United States have secretaries, who are commonly more important than cabinet officers. If they were not, they would be abolished. A clerk may also be important, but the title lacks something. There is nothing robust or dignified about it. "Secretary Jones" is a personage, even if he is as colorless and insipid as warm water. "Clerk Smith" is noisy, even if he is large, beefy, and belligerent, with an intellect of suitable proportions. Bryce Brooke winced at the clerkship, but he did not address himself to the efficiency man. "You mean to tell me, Connie, that you are working?" "Certainly." "You've-quit?" "No, begun." "But begun." "You've—quit?" "No; begin." "But—Conniel" Billy found no consolation in the eyes of his sister. They were cold and steady. It was obvious that she was annoyed at the interruption. "We are still on orders for supplies," she reminded H. Hedge. "Is there something more under that head?" Billy faced about and hurried from the room. He paused in the hall and drew a deep breath. The Brooke family was disgusted. It did not add to the peace of Billy's mind to discover what he suspected—that, by working, Constance had regained her daily allowance. His own was suspended, believing that time when he should decide to assume his clerical duties. Thus the two Brooke sisters were again in funs, even though of limited size, while their brother remained penniless. Billy and Alice hesitated to speak what was in the mind of each, but one day the tacitly maintained wall of reserve broke down, and they unburdened their thoughts in a far corner of the gymnasium.

Wins Fame Behind Prison WallsRemarkable Experience of a Brilliant Colored Man. CHI By An Insider (Print and publishing rights reserved exclusively by the author.) "WITHIN PRISON WALLS" (Editor's Note: "W. thin Prison Walks" 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.) Less than a fortnight later the Parole and Pardon Commissioner calling at the prison one evening was the cause of my being brought from my cell to the mail-room where in the presence of the Warden and the Commissioner a plan was outlined for my immediate future. It was explained to me that the Governor at that time did not feel it consistent to place me back on the road but that he was going to send me out to the new prison, which was then just in process of construction and on which before finally completed ten million dollars would be spent, making it the largest and most up-to-date prison in America. THAT ACCOUNTING SYSTEM It was explained that I was to go out there and assist in installing the State Uniform Accounting System with which I had been intimately acquainted with since its inception in 1921 when the new Governor took office. This meant for me a new haven and I welcomed the opportunity to make good beyond expectations so that I could, in some material way show my gratitude for the consideration that the Governor and Parole Commissioner had previously extended to me. I eagerly awaited the day when I was to be transferred to the new prison, on a temporary parole, and when that day arrived I knew that a new and lasting day was dawning for me. NO PROVISION MADE Arriving at the new prison no provision had been made for the accounting office save that an empty shack with a stove had been assigned for that purpose. An elderly free man had been assigned with the writer to get the office in order found a few old tables which we soak had washed off and placed in position to use as desks. Before the first day was over an accountant from Lansing arrived who was to have entire charge of the office there and he at once confided in me that he expected me to handle the bulk of the detail work necessary in establishing the system and for such efforts he would see that I was amply rewarded. MUCH MONEY EXPENDED A quarter of a million dollars had already been expended on the project and to install an accounting system at that late date without interrupting actual construction process meant a seemingly endless amount of tedious detail work. Several free men were employed to assist in the office, none of whom were familiar with the system to be installed and a half dozen inmate clerks were placed at various portions of the project who were equally as unfamiliar with the system. Into this work I centered all of my energy, directing and executing the many myriad details involved in setting up an accounting system especially in a going concern and after hundreds of thousands had already been expended. SIX MONTHS WORK For six months I gave to the work every bit of energy and ability that I could muster without any thought of pleasure or personal benefit. At the end of this period, we had created a record. The system was thoroughly installed throughout the project and representatives from Lansing complimented us to the extent that our records were the most correct and prompt of any other institution in the state. By the third of each month we could get our regular monthly financial statements into Lansing and by the tenth the detailed unit cost reports were on their way by far eclipsing any other unit in the state. A SURPRISING ACHIEVEMENT With the work and system then running so smoothly the laborious and detailed work that I had been so painstakingly handling became only a matter of routine and I could begin to think of matters that would be of personal benefit. I had accomplished my end of the work and a general routine being definitely established the system could run along indefinitely with ordinary routine clerks. Plenty of spare time was then available to me. In the meantime Mr. Dennett, the friend of whom I mentioned in earlier chapters had again become interested in me and at intervals would ride out to the new prison when we could converse and plan future aims. Through one suggests 666 is a prescription for Colds, Grippe, Flu, Dengue Suicous Fever and Malaria at Kiils the Germs. tion and another it was figured that I could become a "columnist" writing for various papers throughout the country thereby earning sufficient funds to again reestablish myself financially. TRANSFERRED ELSEWHERE He secured the necessary permission from the higher authorities and I had actually written a first "release" when word came through the chief accountant at the new prison to break some one in on my job as I was going to be transferred elsewhere. This came unexpectedly for I did not dare dream of further consideration at such an early date at a time when but very little outward movement was being made of prisoners in Michigan. However the the young free man who had been assisting me from the beginning was soon initiated into my particular duties and I awaited the day that I was to be transferred. Where to I did not know. Word trickled, in however that I was going back on the road and at even such a faint hope that I held for such a favorable possibility I realized, that it meant only a year or so there when freedom would at last be opened to me again. On the road I could save quite a good deal of my comparatively large earnings and I would have quite a stake when the day would come for my release. CALLED TO THE OFFICE One evening the deputy at the new prison called me to his office and stated definitely that in a conversation with the Parole Commissioner that he had confided in him that he was going to recommend to the Governor that I again be placed on the road. That was positive assurance for me and of such a nature that even the hundreds of other men that were looking for such a chance but not receiving it were glad for my sake that I was to get at least one foot out of prison for such was road-work considered—a positive assurance that after a season or two full liberty would be granted. I waited the day to come when I would be called to pack up my few little personal prison belongings and be shipped to a road camp. On the 29th of April, 1926, the word believed. I was told to make ready to go to the main prison for an interview. AN OFFICIAL HEARING I knew what that meant. That I was to be given an official hearing before the Pardon Commissioner, told to which camp I would be sent and how long I would remain there before freedom came. Arriving once more and being ushered, into the guard room of the main prison I awaited my turn to see the Parola Commissioner. After an hour or so of such wait he was called from the private room in which he was holding his meeting to answer a telephone and on his return spied me sitting there and walking up to me shook hands and said he could dispose of my case very quickly. Before this, Mr. Bennett and others had been up to talk to me and all were one in the belief that I would be sent to the road. ANOTHER CHANCE Great was my surprise then when the Commissioner told me that he had talked to the Governor about sending me back to the road but that the Governor felt I had made good at the new prison and deserved another chance at freedom, believing that I had thoroughly learned my lesson and would take careful advantage of any further consideration shown me. He asked me if I had a letter from any firm offering me employment as on previous occasions I had many Replying that this time I had been too ashamed to even communicate with former acquaintances and not even dreaming of freedom at that time that I had not even given such a possibility a thought which I had not. He told me that he brought a parole warrant for me with him but it was conditional upon my having employment to go to. HELP OFFERED He stated however that if I cared, to be paroled to Detroit that he would personally talk to the parole official, Lleut. Wm. R. Boettcher, there, acquaint hfm with my capabilities and he would secure a job for me. This seemed like a dream to me and of course I was willing to assent to anything. Back to the new prison I went there to await the day that word would come that a job was waiting for me. With such definite assurance of my release I made no effort to do any work, merely staying around the dormitory in which I was quartered waiting for the call of freedom which THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Don't Neglect PILES You can treat yourself privately and in expressively at home.

I knew I had but a few dollars but knowing that I would have a job ready to go to I did not worry. Many were the offers from friends, as I was well liked there to advance me funds but I did not feel like placing myself under what I thought would be an unnecessary obligation. A few of my more intimate buddies however insisted on my taking transfers for ten dollars each to carry me over to the first pay day. A FAREWELL GREETING In the meantime and on the Sunday preceding my release great was my surprise when while attending the regular Sunday movie a slide appeared on the screen, reading as follows: "... the H. H. & J Club extends sincerest wishes for your success and happiness. Goodbye and Good Luck!" This portrayal of good wishes and token of friendship deeply touched me and I kept thinking of same during the entire performance and then and there decided that if I ever lacked an incentive to make good, memory of such brotherly love in such an environment would force me to make good. How could I betray the confidence imposed in me thusly. I asked the inmate Secretary of the Club if I could keep the slide and while this is written, less, than a month after I prize this slide as the very highest of my few personal effects. It will ever be an inspiration to me. WANT TO HELP OTHERS Perhaps some day I can so thoroughly make good that I can reach down and help some of those poor fellows who were so considerate of my good will. After ten years of prison life that the inmates held me in such esteem and that I still had many friends among the officials including the highest authorities in the state made me feel that there was in me some good, some spark on which I could kindle a fire that would lead to an everlasting moral and financial success.

After waitinp 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.
