THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library. NOV 13 12:0 STATE LIBRARY TIDE WATER KNIGHTS SPEAK PLAINLY VOLUME XLIV, NO. 1 TIDE Demand W Ernest J That Lync Colorea CALL FOR RIGID INVESTIGATION AND SPECIAL AUDIT.—JOHN MITCHELL'S STATEMENTS TRUE. Staunton Va., Nov. 9—A circular letter has been received here by members of the Order of Knights of Pythias. It has created a sensation and is in line with the opinion previously expressed here concerning the exposures made by Past Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr., relative to the actions of Attorney W. H. C. Brown, Attorney J. R. Pollard and Grand Chancellor W. B. F. Crowell. It confirms what Mr. Mitchell has claimed all along. Advices received here state that the auditors of the Bureau of Insurance of Virginia have completed a careful examination or the books and accounts of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythians of Virginia and the Grand Court. Order of Calanthe and they openly stated that John Mitchell was right and they found conditions just as he reported them to be. THE CAUSE This is taken to be the cause of the issuance of the circular letter addressed to Chancellor Commanders Officers and members of subordinate lodges, being signed by the Norfolk Chapter Past Chancellor, Throman Clark President; W. L. Custis, Secretary and by the Tidewater Council of Past Chancellors, Knights of Pythias, F. E. Puryear, President; Eugene West, Secretary. The latter two are Grand Vice Chancellor and Grand Keeper of Records and Seal of the Grand Lodge K. of P. of Virginia respectively and the two organizations virtually control the Grand Lodge. K. of P. of Virginia from the fact that Staunton has practically taken similar action. THE LAST RESORT Relative to the use of the public press, Mr Mitchell was averse to resorting to this herole treatment and he made strenuous efforts to avoid it. This circular is virtually the essence of the letter sent to Grand Chancellor W. B. F. Crowell by Sir W. B. Brown of Richmond calling upon him to remove both W. H. C. Brown and J. R. Pollard from office. Mr Mitchell tried to get a hearing here before the Grand Lodge but Brown Crowell. Pollard and Company prevented it and by resolution decided to discipline any member of the Grand Lodge, who would go to hear him speak. FORCED TO GO OUTSIDE Mr. Mitchell answered this with the statement that he had a great big mouth and a big newspaper. How well he has used both is shown by the present day developments. Mr. Mitchell went to Portsmouth on a Tuesday night during the sessions of the Grand Lodge there in 1925 and requested of Sir Crowell that a committee he appointed from the Grand Lodge and the Grand Court to adjust matters between himself and both of the bodies. He agreed that this would be done and then instead of sending the committee named W. H. C. Brown to handle the matter for both organizations. BUREAU OF INSURANCE ACTIVE The records show that W. H. C. Brown got $100.00 for local services at one time and that $600.00 was drawn out of the Grand Court treasury at another time. The Bureau of Insurance's auditors report that these figures are correct. They went to Norfolk and Portsmouth and this was after they had examined the records in Richmond. They found out that the actual amount of money turned over by the receivers to the Grand Lodge K of P of Virginia was ($90,709.48). Twenty Thousand Seven Hundred and Ninety-nine Dollars and Forty six cents. and of this amount only Two Thousand Dollars were placed in the treasury of the Grand Lodge, K. of P. to be drawn out by orders signed by the officers of the Grand Lodge. COMMISSION COLLECTED Thirteen Thousand Dollars were turned over to the Supreme Lodge on a loan, together with the interest, but the difference between this amount and $20,799.46 except for the $2,000.00 reported at Staunton, Va. session in June has not been reported. As a matter of fact, it is stated that a commission of 10 per cent was collected by W. H. C. Brown and J. R. Pollard for legal services, although the Grand Lodge was paying W. H. C. Brown as Grand Attorney $1,000.00 per year for legal services. Mr. John Mitchell Jr through the Depositors Protective Committee had employed eminent counsel, Hon. M. J. Fulton and Assistant Attorney General Leon M. Bazle to secure this dividend to all of the depositors and all that Pollard had for $20,799.46 as treasurer of the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia. ENDORSED CHECK Mr Mitchell stated here that Pollard endorsed the check, but instead of doing so as J. R. Pollard, Grand Master of Execheur (treasurer), he endorsed it as J. R. Pollard, attorney although he knew that W. H. C. Brown and not himself was attorney of the Grand Lodge K. of P. of Virginia. Then he laid claim to the attorney's fee of 10 per cent. Information came here last week that when Pollard went to get his legal commission, the receiver held up $1,000.00 of it or insisted upon his paying that amount on a note of his held by them. Just what he did with the other one thousand dollars is of little importance just now. It was taken out of the amount due the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia. CHARGES CONFIRMED It will be seen then that the Tidewater members of the Order have gotten information, which confirms the charges made by Mr. John Mitchell Jr. Grand Chancellor Crowell is reported to have put W. H. C. Brown out of office and he now has on his hands J. R. Pollard, who got the money and he must explain his letter to Sir W. E. Brown of Richmond, when he said in it that he knew every thing that was going on.

RICHMOND VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1976 Ernest Jordan, charged with shooting four persons, was removed from St Philip's Hospital to the City Jail and from there, under $4,000 bond to his home at 609 N. 6th St. His leg is broken at the ankle and is in a cast. His last removal took place Friday Nov. 5th. When visited last Tuesday, he was in a cheerful frame of mind. All of the injured persons had left the hospital except Corinne, whose leg is also broken. The case has been set for a hearing, Tuesday, Nov. 30. Mr. Hockett, a dealer in furniture went on Jordan's bond. Ernest Jordan was able to hobble out for the first time, last Monday and he visited St. Philip's Hospital where he saw Corinne Mayo. HEMSLEY DIVORCE CASE. The "woman doctor" named in the Hemmels divorce suit in the Baltimore Afro-American has been highly indignant over the unjust notiety given her and her work here by an expare statement of the case. She protests her innocence and the public is disposed to suspend judgment until the facts are submitted and proven. Her character here has been freiroachable and she has a host of friends, who have been outspoken in her behalf. Her counsel has made two trips to Paltimore with more or less satisfactory results. The Community Chest Fund Drive for $478 338 88 was a success. The amount subscribed and paid into the fund amounted to about $6,000 more than was needed. Of this amount, the colored division turned in about $613,000, under the leadership of Chairman A. W. Homes and Director M. A. Norrell. Henry Lee Booker of 601 Wood St. was caught in belting at Larus and Brothers Tobacco Company and fatally injured last Monday. The unfortunate man's right arm and left leg were pulled from the socket. The remains were turned over to Funeral Director Robert C. Scott. It seems that Booker was attempting to replace a short belt that had slipped from a pulley. In doing this, his foot was caught in the belt and he was whirled around in the air several times. He was thrown against, the pipes with terrific velocity before the machinery could be stopped. 37th ANNIVERSARY Y. M. C. A CONTINUED The 27th Anniversary Exercises of the Y. M. C.

The members of the National Ideal Benefit Society and the public generally will doubtless be interested in the result of the hearing before the Commissioner of Insurance of the state of Pennsylvania, from which a citation to some 26 Fraternal organizations located in various states of the Union sent out by the Commissioner of Insurance of the state of Pennsylvania, calling upon them to appear at Harrisburg, Nov. 9th and show cause why the license should not be revoked, for failing to comply with certain provisions of the insurance laws of the state of Pennsylvania. Among the names so cited to appear was the National Ideal Benefit Society. In pursuance to such call, our Order appeared being represented by Attorney J. C. Robertson. The conduct of our business since we have been in the state of Pennsylvania, was thoroughly considered by the Insurance Department with the advice of the Department of Justice and the final decision rendered by the Insurance Department and the Department of Justice, that the National Ideal Benefit Society had not and was not violating any law of the Insurance Department, by operating in the state and that its future operation in the State was not objectionable to the Department. From the above you can see that the investigation held by the Insurance Department with the various companies on the 9th of November does not in any way hinder or affect our work in the state of Pennsylvania but leaves the Society unhampered in taking in new members, building new lodges and spreading our work generally throughout the State. We regard the ruling of the Commissioner as a great victory for our Organization. A. W. HOLMES. Supreme Master. SHEPHERDS & DAUGHTERS OF BETHLEHEM ARE ALLOWED TO OPERATE IN PENN. STATE. The Improved Order Shepherd and Daughters of Bethlehem was permitted by the Insurance Commissioner of the State of Pennsylvania to proceed with its work in that State without any interruption.

ARKANSAS WHITES ACQUITTED OF MURDER AND HOLDUP OF NEGRO (Praston News, Servi(r)) Camden, Ark, Nov. 11.—S. D. Brown of Mt. Ida, was acquitted in circuit court hers Wednesday afternoon of the murder of Crandfield Frazier. The jury deliberated only 25 minutes before reaching a verdict of not guilty. Brown was indicted jointly with V. H. Wheeler. It is believed the case against Wheeler will be no乳 prossed. Brown and Wheeler were alleged to have clubbed Frazier to death near Louann on the night of April 22 last. Frazier was said to have had some money which the two white men stole. During the trial the defense showed that Frazier had fought with the white men and during the fight they hit him with a broom handle, but did not know they had killed him. Mr. James A. Hucles, of Washington, D. C., was called to the city this week on account of the death of his sister, Mrs. Fannie Tinsley. REV. WAVERLY YUILL AT FIFTH STREET ALL THE WEEK. REV.

Nov. 12—Nollie Robinson, Sheriff of Aiken county, aged 41 years, was accused Thursday of delivering to the mob which lynched three-Negroes, one a woman on the morning of October 8. Robinson is the man who was hailed newspaper dispatches in April, 1925 as the savior of Negroes when another song lynched them. They had been arrested on charge with killing a sheriff. It is said that a mob of several hundred surrounded the Aiken, jail and he threatened to shoot the first man who made an effort to seize the Negroes and the crowd broke up and went away. Before the coroner's jury Robinson testified that he was overpowered suddenly by men who had gained access to the jailer's house after he had pleaded with them to disperse. He swore that he recognized none of them and fired two shots in the struggle before he was disarmed. The jury took his word and returned a verdict that the lynchings had been done "by persons unknown." The grand jury met and questioned a few witnesses and reached the same verdict. On last Thursday there appeared before two of the men who have been most outspoken in their criticism of the lynchings—Austin H. Johnson a defeated candidate for chiffon and James L. Quinby, an eccentric gentleman of middle age—two prisoners who were in fall at the time the three Lowman Negroes were taken from the building and lynched. The two prisoners were Mrs. Lucy Mooney (white) of Augusta Ga. and Charles E. Lee (white) of Sanjah Ga. The first, a girl of about 19 years old, occupied a cell on the same floor as that of Bertha Lowman. The Mooney woman said she was being he'd there as a State witness in a limo case having been caught by Robinson's denials walking away from an automobile in which they found lionor. She said the cell she occupied is a part of a separate tier from that for Negro women prisoners, but through the bars of the aperture in the steel door shutting off that she could watch the stens down which Bertha Lowman could have brought by the lynchers. It is also said that the steel flap over the aperture in the steel door was not closed on the night of the lynching. Georgia Woman Makes Affidavit Of what the Georgia woman says she saw, she swore in an affidavit Thursday before Mr. Ouninby as a notary public, her affidavit states: "I was not in Aiken till the latter part of September 1928 by Officer John Salloy as a State witness in a prohibition case, and was released last Friday R. M. October 29. On the morning of October 8 I was in my cell and was awakened by the doorbell ringing downstairs. I saw four cars outside on the bridge—two Foods one Chevrolet. The group of men stayed down stairs about 25 minutes to the best of my knowledge. The crowd was laughing and talking. "During the 25 minutes they had covered the two Lowman Norcross—that is the two boys (whose cells were on the lower floor)—and then five men came unstairs to get Bertha Lowman. I was standing up at the door. Jailer Taylor had a lantern and it was Taylor that unlocked the door of the cell of Bertha Lowman. Sheffield Dohsen took her from her cell. He was accompanied by A. D. Shannon (one of his deniers) and P. Rory Hart (constable to Gov. Motean of South Carolina) and Road Officer John Salloy (Continued on page 5) WHEN PA TRIES THE RADIO By A. B.

LOUIS GATE, QUEBEC A CALECHE LEAVING THE CITADEL Quebec City is possibly one of stages of her growth been obliterated the most historical and romantic cities on this continent. This is due Quebec, discovered in 1535, to the fact that Quebec. TWO ```markdown ``` Quebec City is possibly one of the most historical and romantic cities on this continent. This is due to the fact that Quebec was the birthplace of North America. She was already established when the Pilgrim Fathers landed at Plymouth Rock. It was from Quebec that many early explorers, among them Joliet and La Salle, discovered and took possession of various parts of the United States, among them the vast basin of the Mississippi in the name of the King of France. Standing as she does, perched on a rock and scattered up a cliff, Quebec occupies a position that is remarkable — temperamentally as well as topographically — amongst the cities of America. She is still described, by those who know her, as the Spirit of Romance, and in fact this can also be said of the rural parts of the province. She is not, as many cities, spoilt by commercialism, nor have the successive Quebec, discovered in 1555, by Jacques Cartier and established by a Frenchman, is still essentially French. Although Montreal is so much greater in population, the "ancient capital" is the source of authority and inspiration of French culture of the western hemisphere. From Cartier the scene shifts about seventy years to the age of further discovery and definite settlement inspired by Samuel de Champlain. It was on his third voyage, in 1608, that he reverted to the St. Lawrence, forsaking Acadia and founding Quebec. It was to Cartier however, that we also, owe the name of the Dominion, Dominacona lord of the tribes, asked him to come to see his village, calling it "Koumata" which means a collection of nuts in the Indian tongue, and Cartier thought it was the name of the district. Thus his COMTE DE FRONTENAC error supposed this beautiful name of Canada. An outcoding figure in Quebec's history is the Comte de Frontenac fiefery French governor of New France, under whose administration New France achieved a new political meaning in Old France, and after whom the governing Chateau Frontenac on the historic Heights of Quebec was named. Quebec as the tourist will find a impregnated with history and romance, the very stones of the old buildings appear to whisper their tales as one passes The city is equally as delightful in summer as in winter, and the winter sports are famed throughout the world, as is this unusual city for many things Legion Defends Chemical Warfare; Declares War on Geneva Protocol Legion Defends Chemical Warfare; Declares War on Geneva Protocol The American Legion, foreseeing to attack to tie the hands of the United States in possible future war, is calling its forces to the cause of chemical warfare. This method of defense would be based on the United States should the Geneva protocol be ratified. The Geneva protocol will come before it for action when either at its special session or November or later at a general session. Under the title of "The Truth from the Geneva Gas Protocol" the President Taylor, chairman of the national legislative committee, will broadcast a statement. American author to the protocol and summons the representatives in American preemption. As stockmar for the Legion military member of which is a vet- erate World War Thomas countryside that chemical warfare, controlling the use of so-called war is not only one of the most effective methods of national war but is at the same time most humane. Those who oppose the use of war war Favor declares military more true and barbar- ous other methods of warfare. He that way from having allowed us our perfectly good army propaganda. We of the Legion don't have to regain people who talk about has spent more humane than other weapons. Read the facts in the report of the Surge General of the United States Army. "Summed up in a sentence this report shows that less than two percent of gas casualties died while approximately 24 percent of other casualties died. In other words the man who was out of action twelve times as many chances to live as if out of other weapons." While gas, according to data collected by the Legion is the most effective producer of casualties in the whole arsenal of war weapons, it for the most part puts men out of action only temporarily but long enough to insure victory for the combatant possessing the preponderance of massing facilities. This, it is well, makes for shorter wars, with far less loss of life and consequent misery than where masses of men must be killed or permanently mutilated before victory can be claimed either side. The Legion's spokesman states [ ] PETER H. JOHN THOMAS TAYLOR that extreme pacificists and American foes of preparedness generally have been active for many months seeking to bring pressure to secure ratification of the protocol when it comes before the senate. Their chief argument has been that the use of rus in warfare is barricaded. "Every new effective weapon has met with outrage against it as an arhmanate device," Taylor points out. "The same sort of opposition was encountered by rifles, machine guns and high explosive shells. But each in turn has been accepted because it was effective. "At The Hague Convention of 1899, an agreement was signed by all the powers, excepting the United States. not to, use asxnxiating gas shell. Germany was a party to that agreement. Reliance by the allies in this agreement made possible the great surprise gas attack at Ypres. April 1918. Had this initial gas attack been backed with adequate reequipment in all probability the war would have been won by Germany, an, her allies. "Every effort should be used to avoid war. But the United States should never agree not to use such a weapon if it does have to resort to war. To do so may mean putting our country in a position of unreadiness that might endanger its national life. Why tie our own hands?"

SATURDAY...NOVEMBER 13, 1926 Beware of extreme selfishness It carries within its folds the seed of decay. Self-respect and decency are not on the wane In some localities they are "stone dead." Dying is a release from trouble, although most people believe that it is the beginning of more trouble. Some of our lawmakers think that drastic laws check crime. As a matter of fact they increase crime. They say that whiskey has been abolished by law. Certain it is that it has been reestablished by practice. Cringing subserviency produces contempt and disgust among white people and the average colored person gets nowhere in practicing it. Many white people are Christians and we are living here amongst them. Let us distinguish the good from the bad and teach our children to make friends if possible with all of them. The practice of putting innocent people in the jails and penitentiaries of this country is bringing about a feeling of revolt against the law and the Government and multiplying the lawless classes in this country. Colored folks will continue to be held responsible for their lawless classes until they put on foot an organized movement to suppress them. Some of these youngsters hereabouts come from respectable families and they should be shipped North or be kept at home, even if the civil authorities are called upon to aid in doing it. Youngsters, who finger on street corners as a rule should be disciplined or made to spend, their hours profitably. The Y. M. C. A. has empty rooms, where they can spend their spare time but evidently there is too much religion in that locality and they do not want any of that. Earl Carroll's Vanities at the Academy of Music this week with an all white caste place Ethel Waters' Miss Calico in the shade when it came to displaying human nakedness. The colored females showed all the nakedness they had without discarding the breech-clout, but the white girls went them one worse by even discarding the breech-clout, leaving only long tresses to shield them from absolute nakedness. You may say what you will, but when you see good or bad traits in colored folks, you see a reproduction of similar traits in white ones. The Negro is a great imitator. When Editor W. E. B. DuBois of the New York Crises, who is one of the foremost scholars in this or in any other country announced, upon his return from a tour of Russia that if what he saw of that country was a fair portrayal of its management and Government, then he was a Bolshevist, he took a chance with his mouth, which may yet react heavily in this country to his detriment and to the cause he represents. He places himself "four-square" against the policy of the Coolidge Administration, which is in line with that of the Wilson Administration, which denied recognition to that blood-stained land. It may be that Dr. Du Bols knows his business but it seems to us that he should have accompanied these fateful words with his reasons for his astounding statement. Socialism is one thing and Bolshevism is quite another. A If your druggist cannot supply you send us fifty cents in stamps and we will mail you both preparations by return mail.

Y. ge) Discussing the opinion randored by a judge of Grand Rapids, Mich., in the case of colored physician who was denied seat in the theatre of a local theater, the Rhamond Parnet said: A judge who owns a theater for private purposes and who does not owe any license to do business and earn any as a result of the act in which he justly claims the privilege with which outlined in this opinion. If a charge is made and a license issued, then it becomes a put in business and is well within the law as defined in the civil rights statute of the State of Michigan. But it is astounding that such a ruling should be had in the northern State that has for more than half a century boasted about its liberality in dealing with colored people. It would be difficult to find such a ruling in any courthouse in the State of Virginia, and we have some predictive models that colored folks may go North for THE RICHMOND PLANET.

A STORMY MEETING Industrial Union of America General Board Meets The General Council Board met at 79 Lenox Street, October 25th, to hear report of Secretary and the condition of some lots supposed to be given away by some member of the Society. After reading the lawyer's report of the twentyone lots at Southern Pines and one lot to one Sam Ingram, which was supposed to be given away by some one of the Society, a Committee was appointed to further investigate why such things should be done without the consent of the Corporation, as the Constitution and By-laws prohibit any property being donated without the consent of eighty per cent of the members of the Society voting for such donation or gift. This being a special meeting further investigations were ordered, also the Manager of the Real Estate Department was asked to be present at the next meeting, at which time he could explain to the Society if he had donated or given any of the Society's property away. A lawyer has been retained to revoke any or all deeds given by anyone on Union property. The following questions were voted upon for Secretary and Recording Secretary: Mrs R Fuller Secretary: Miss R.

As she was at the top of the staircase she heard her brothers screaming and she got louder. They told her to hush. Sheriff Robinson told her to hush. At this time Robinson was behind, Salley the lead, Hart and Taylor also being the woman. At this time the pistol she wore fired down in the jailer's kitchen, the only shots fired in the jail that night at all. "I ducked my head down while they were passing my door and Salley stuck his flash light in my door, but he did not see me and he passed on. That was as they came up. "I was looking right at Sheriff Robinson when the shots were fired and he was up stairs. "I have lived at Ellenton seven years, my steffather being a constable at Ellenton. Sheriff Robinson has been to our house many times, and my steffather has helped the officers in my house. I know all the officers and I am codeine that I could not be mistaken as to these being the men that took Bertha Lowmar from her cell on the night of October 8. "The next morning E. R. Buckingham came to my cell and told me to keep quiet. He told me to claim that I was asleep after I had told him what I saw the night before. Buckingham lives at Ellenton and I have known him for several years. Jailer Taylor told me that Buckingham was a member of the grand jury. Mrs. Taylor wife of the failer came to me the next day and told me to keep my mouth shut. "The next day Sheriff Robinson came to me at the cell and asked me if I knew anything about the lynching. I told him that I recognized the Sheriff Taylor and Salley, I not calling Shannon or Hart's name to him he turned deathly pale and denied that he was with them. He turned and moved away and has never mentioned since that time. "After they had gotten outside I was looking at the window and saw Domenica L. (the older of the two Nees) jump from the car. I earl an holler three times, shoo shoo. At this time they were at my sight, but I heard immediately three shots fired." Mrs. Mooney for many years an orphan child and not very literate, signed her affidavit with a cross, complaining she was too cold to write good enough and her name was signed for her as Mrs. Lucy Mooney for her mark. The soldier of Lee differs somewhat from that of Mrs Mooney. Lee says: "When we retired I understood they were going to lunch them that night. Taylor told me that he had orders to look all doors and put out all lights. He cut out the lights about 8:30 P.M. incident had never occurred before during the five months that I was incarcerated in that jail. The light at the court-house and the light on the bridge burned all night. One car was at the bridge watching under the street light. This car moved up and got with the other cars. The woman was loaded last the crying and hollering. I being a stranger in the country could identify only such persons as I had got acquainted with since my being in Aiken. "I identified positively Constable Hart and Policeman John Salley, or being with a party of five or sky that came in," or Bertha Lowman and Laws, or on of them to be Sherif Robinson. They had a big flashlight with them. All prisons were afraid of being lynched if they divulged anything that took place that night. "As the time the colored woman was sitting down stairs was when the shoe door fired down stairs. The grand jury never came to the jail at any time to get any information about the things that we on that night." A GOOD SERIAL STORY READ IT ON PAGE 6.

SCHOOL BOARD ON TEACHER New York, Nov. 12 - Students at the New York Evening high school have vigorously protected the action of the board of education in transferring J.

The students, most of them white feel that Huggins was transformed because of his race, and that the board felt that he would restore it placed at Jamaica school. Huggins is a graduate of Columbia and Oxford and he's now studying for his doctor of philosophy degree at Fordham University. The teacher clives and modern Europe are a great history.

INDIES IS REASON Mexico City, Mex., Nov. 11.—An inflow of Negroes from the British West Indies suspected of having been brought on by employers in an attempt to lower labor wages because of their backward seating and ignorance of unionism, beheaded to an official bar against the Negroes by the Mexican government. All incoming Negroes will be stopped at ports and border points. It is said that many of the West Indian Negroes are suffering considerable unemployment, pitiful low wages and brutal oppression of British imperialism, and for the most part are entirely unacquainted with unionism even when the strict British rule permits them to exist. In many cases, it is said, such unions as exist are controlled by traitors of their own race, who do little to advance the standards of unionism.

This Week By Arthur Brisban WIRELESS POWER: BIG BUSINESS IS BIG. DON'T PUSH LABOR: BIGGEST JAIL IN WORLD It has been suggested here occasionally during several years past that a solution of the flying problem would eventually include wireless transmission of power. What men can imagine, they can do when imaginations run on same lines. Electric waves are power and can be sent without wires. It is not too much to hope that power generated at one place on the earth will be sent without wires to another place, or sent to machines flying in the air. Latest, most important news is that Marconi, speaking cautiously as usual, suggests the possibilities of power transmission without wires as a scientific possibility, not a mere hope. There could be no greater practical scientific achievement. Reports from our big business proves that it really is big.. No wonder Europe envies us. While doubting Thomases ask, "What do you think of the business outlook?" reports of great companies answer the question. In the first nine months of this year General Motors earned more than $149,000,000, and the big United States Steel Company more than $145,000,000. It is interesting to see one of the automobile organizations making bigger profits than United States Steel, biggest industrial organization in the world.

John Hays Hammond AUTOCASTER This well known engineer and banker, who is President of the National Press Club, is financing the erection of their new 14 story home and office building in Washington. It will cost $10,000,000 and will be the largest privately owned building in the Nation's Capital. back. That was once called "thin it" it wasn't even "water." Now, with earnings "put back" it represents we one knows how much real wealth. The important thing, according to Stalin, Russian boss, is for Russia to get control of "reactionary for unions." He means especially the American Federation of Labor. American capitalists should realize that the American Federation of Labor is a great bulwark of conservatism, and not try to push it in the direction of Bolshevism by any gloating over the fact that organized labor power is not what it chose was. Chicago attacks one big problem in a big way, building the "largest, best jail in the world." The cost, with a court house in front to help fill the jail, will be seven and a half million. Rooms for fourteen criminal courts will be built with high ceilings, and back of the court the big jail for the modern crime army. In view of jail breaking and the unusual energy of criminals, wouldn't it be a good idea to let厉害 wear gas masks, and install in corridors and in the main office valves that, when opened, would flood the jail with some convicting gas of the mustard type? Nothing will or permanently injure the convicts, of course, but strong enough to take their minds off any jail breaking plan. Forty odd years ago, Edison, now eighty-four, was personally superintending the installation of a small electric lighting plant in "Harry Hill's" on Houston Street, New York, where John L. Sullivan used to box. He probably did not think that he would live to see electric light and power develop into a business of seven thousand five hundred millions of dollars. And that is only the beginning. Insull in Chicago, Williams in New York, and the great electric companies on the Pacific coast are constructing power plants of hundreds of thousands of horsepower. All the goblins in the world seemed to be let loose when talk came of gigantic tariff reductions, and Wall Street beat its brow. But President Coolidge and Secretary Mellon let it be known that they will do all they can to operate in tariff reduction. BUT NOT AMERICAN TARIFF REDUCTION.

Sugar added to bread mixtures is, perhaps, one of the greatest abuses; it renders the loaf more tempting to appetites that are too often depraved to the start—inducing the eater to take entirely too much of the combination. Too great variety in bread-stuffs is damaging for the same reason. I once ate a reunion dinner in California; there were five kinds of bread on the table. To not partake of each kind was to blunder unpardonably before the amiable hostess. The American appetite is continually calling—it may be reckoned as one hundred per cent efficient; it needs no stimulation by the many seasonings and compliments within in too easy reach of our culinary artists. I believe one-half of our serious diseases could be gotten rid of, by enforcing rigidly 'plain' diet at all times. Let us commercialize our stocks, bonds, industries and real-estate, but our food, never! I do not believe in the offering of prizes for the most highly-seasoned can, carton or dish. Our list of digestive disorders is growing right along with the inventive genius of our cooks. We are far beyond the safety-zone already. In bread, we have converted a staunch friend into a deadly enemy, by adding to it the things that bring ill health. Next Week VACCINATION S M. A posed portrait of David W. C.

HEDGE, efficiency engineer, assumes control of the Brooke household, that they reinstall the telephone, the stringent signation that their father has Wired upon that Constance, feeling that marriage is not her but whom she does not love, is better than another six weeks in the house with Hedge, decides to elope. She is stealing down the back stairway on New Year's morning, the trips and falls in the number of she recovers her breath sufficiently, she orders him to let her go. NOW GO WITH THE STORY "NOT until you let me go," an swerved the efficiency man "And then maybe—" With a little cry of dismay she dis- engaged her arms from his neck. "Let me go!" she repeated. "Temporarily or permanently?" he asked with great deliberation. "B-both!" H. Hedge shook his head sadly. "I never could do two things at once," he said. "It's unscintile even to cry." "Please—please!" "In that case, temporarily," he declared, as he reluctantly withdrew the arm that held her close. Constance's cheeks were fiery; she prayed that the gloom of the back stairs rendered all colors neutral. "Thank you—for catching me." On the courtyard stood a roadster, the machine idling wheezily. Tommy Treadwell wading beside it, nervously tapping on a door. His eyes lighted with happiness as he sighted the furred figure of Constance and he sprang forward to assist with the grip. "You dear old brick," he cried. "Morning, Tommy," said Constance. Tommy had seized the grip and swimmer it up on the baggage carrier in the rear, when he began an adjustment of the straps. Mounting Constance stepped in and settled herself nervously in one of the bucket seats. The efficiency man arrived in the courtyard while Tommy was still working at the grip. As Constance sighted him, she observed with a sinking heart that he was clothed in one of his ominous calms. "Good morning," he said, as he walked across the width of space. Constance paled slightly and did not answer. Tommy Treadwell fumbled furiously at a strap and said nothing. Hedge reached the side of the car, leaned over, pressed a button on the dash and turned off the ignition. The engine, stopped. "You let that car alone!" called Tommy angrily. "All right; I will," said the efficiency man, stepping back a pace and Constance. Tommy flicked with the grip and came around to the side of the car. "Well?" asked Hedge. "Well?" echoed Tommy. "What's the idea?" The elopers exchanged swift glances and Tommy became embolized. "Well, if it'll give you any satisfaction to know," he announced, "Continue and I are going to be married." "True; it's settled. Miss Brooke is not going to marry you." Tommy flashed a dull reel and there was a fighting look in his eye. "Are you, Miss Brooke?" asked Hedge. Constance compressed her lips and nodded. Which shows how error will per- ```markdown ``` sist," said the efficiency man, apparently talking to himself. He stepped around to the rear of the car, unloaded a strap with a def motion, and swung Constance's grip to the pavement. "You may as well alight, Miss Brooke," he said. Tommy Treadwell sprang forward and confronted him across the grip. "You'd better keep out of this," he said grimly. Tommy was quite a large young man, fully as large as Billy Brooks. He was taller than the efficiency man, and wider. But H. Hedge did not appear to be observant of Tommy's bulk just at that instant. He was looking only at his eyes. "I can't keep out of it," he said simply. "It happens to be my duty to stay in it. Go in the house, Miss Brooke." Constance remained immovable in her seat and maintained silence. "You're the one that's going in the J. SEAN "Don't make me do it again, you haven't a chance." house," announced Tommy, clenching his fists. "And maybe they'll carry you in, if you don't get out of here in about ten seconds." "I'm sorry you feel that way about it," said Hedge. "Well, if you're sorry, beat it! If you don't there'll be trouble. "Trouble? I'm sure there will be no trouble." The efficiency man spoke in a depressive tone. "I see that I've got to kick you," observed Tommy Treadwell, and no reluctance in his voice or manner. "I'm afraid you'll have to." Constance, who had listened to this colloquy with her face averted, now turned and bestowed a curious glance upon the efficiency man. If she expected to see his dark hair bristling and his eyes snapping, she was disappointed. He looked exactly as he always did in the library. She looked at Tommy. He was bristling beautifully. "Here goes," said Tommy. "I The efficiency man nodded. Temmy Tranwold let it with his right arm, straight from the shoulder. Hedge did not have his hands up, but somehow the blow missed him entirely. Perhaps it was a case of Providence, or perhaps it was because he flirted his head a few inches to the right, accidentally. In any ovent, it missed him clean, and Tommy fell over the grip. He arose, chagrined a id mad clear through. This time he came in swinging. Just what the efficiency man did it is difficult to say, for he did not appear to be doing anything, except failing to get hit. He had his hands up, but he was not using them on Tommy. He was dodging punches, stopping punches, diverting punches, but he was contenting himself with that. His face wore a thoughtful look. He was not giving ground, but at the same time he seemed to be engaged in a purely negative way. It went thus for some minutes, and finally the efficiency man began to speak. "I do not know," he said, as a lot swing passed over his head, "where you studied the art of boxing. But there is no doubt that you waste a tremendous amount of effort. You do not box efficiently. In the first place, you should not swing at all, because the fist to travel in an arc, rather than in the shortest way. Observe—you missed me again." Tommy, indeed, had, and nearly lost his balance. "Furthermore," added H. I. Fledge as he side-stopped a fresh volley, "when you use the straight blow, you start to use low and too far back. You are prodigy with muscular effort, for which you do not obtain sufficient return, save in the form of exercise. Observe again. You should not start an uppercut from the ground; it takes too long. Don't start it below the waist." Tommy, breathing now in gasps, charged again. "Your footwork is bad," continued the efficiency man. "You travel a great distance, but you do not arrive. I don't wish to be rude, but it is my duty to say that you are clumsy. You are mastodonic, it is true; but the mastodon is an extinct animal. Why be extinct?" Tommy was missing more obviously than ever. He was tired. "Now, if I can, he will me illustrate an ancient blow," said H. Hedge. "The true ancient blow is conceived with deliberate dispose and executed with due economy. I travel the short-est possible distance, theoretically, carries with it the exact amount of necessary power. It may be delivered with either hand. In this case, we will assume that it is to be delivered with the left. Thus." The quick eye of Constance Brooks noted a fleeting and surprising change in the face of the efficiency man. It had been impassive until now. But as he said "thus," his jaw tightened, and his forehead contracted a scowl that frightened her. His list came from nowhere, but it landed on his body was following it. "Tommy," Treadwell, "ready wabbling from his own efforts, turned half-way around, staggered, and fell flat on his face. Constance uttered a cry and covered her eyes. For an instant Tommy groped at the pavement; then began to arise, uncontrollably. "Don't make me do it again," said the efficiency man in a changed voice. "You haven't a chance." Tommy, however, was not satisfied. He wheeled as he reached an erect position and closed in. So H. Hedge, again with the sudden scowl on his face, did it once more. This time Tommy was longer in arising, and when he did it was to sit on the running-board of the car and rehead in his hands. "Now, if you please, Miss Broke," said Hireq quietly, as he picked up her grip. Constance, still averting her eyes, suddenly sprang from the car and dashed into the house, where raa mildly upaints, half choked with hysterical sobs. The efficiency man looked at the crest-fallen knight on the running-board and shook his head slowly. "Sorry if I hurt you, old man," he said. "But, really, you mustn't try to marry Miss Brooke." Then he, too, disappeared into the house. NEXT CHAPTER: Constance AIRQUASTER At Searles Lake, Calif., is a plant that produces 20% of this country's potash needs.

MHT By An Insider (Reprint with the rights reserved exclusively by the author.) (Editor's Note: "W.thin Prison Walla' 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. Daring 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.) All prisoners from wherever confined had to return to the Main Prison to be "dressed" out and released. Again I entered the guard-room where I was hurriedly dressed, received hand-shakes and well wishes from friends and acquaintances whom I knew there; for a release of an inmate, especially a long timer, seems to be a happy event for all around a prison. Former difficulties and controversies were forgotten and inmates and officials alike join in bidding you good luck. Dressed again in civilian clothes I was taken to the record clerk's office where the conditions of my parole were gone into and the official papers given to me along with the usual lecture that is meant to create to the released man the seriousness of the step he is taking and how he should guard against all temptations, etc. and make good. Then to the Warden's office when another lecture and much hand-shaking and exchange of felicitations were in order. My old friend Mr. Bennett was there and added his wishes and in addition added more practical suggestion that if I got up against it and needed anything to write back and let him know and he would see that I got through all right. What a friend after all these years. After all the greatest thing in the world is friendship. I hope I shall never have to appeal to him however. He has done enough for me. I must do something for him. The last step was then to the cashier's window, a new official being in charge there. He told me the amount of my account but did not take into consideration the few transfers which my friends had given me and inasmuch as they were at the new prison refused to recognize them but promised to send them me when they were properly received and put through the system. He therefore handed me a $10 bill. Never did such a bill appear so insignificant. Stepping into the world a free man with but the clothes on my back, not even a change of collar no definite place to go to, not knowing where I was to stay that night or the next day and with but ten dollars in your possession, it is but little wonder that many fall again by the wayside before they can get on their feet. In my case I had neither friends nor a home to go to. However I had determination and I meant to make good and despite the obstacles I was going to come out on top. A lady sitting opposite the cashier's window waiting to see her husband "inside" sensed my position, smiled and said it must seem good to be free again and at the same time, without being noticed by any observers about slipped some bills in my hand. I stopped arguing with the cashier. I felt that Lady Luck was going to look after me and certainly this was the first evidence of same. Who the benevolent lady was I do not know. Had never seen her before and perhaps never will again but if I cannot repay her or her husband for her specific act of kindness it will be repaid to others who find themselves in need of a friend and money. The cashier put me in a prison bus and took me to the train, making sure that I was on my way. Arriving in Detroit I went at once to the colored Y. M. C. A. and their privileges were reserved for members or affiliated members only, I sought out the Secretary, explained my circumstances and was taken in. Again luck favored me and at least temporarily I was domiciled in good clean wholesome quarters. The next day I went out to see the parole officer for that county, who proved to be a dear lovable, elderly gentleman who talked to me for a couple of hours like a father to a son. He gave me a letter to an official in a large motor concern who had promised to take care of me in a clerical capacity. Arriving there however possibly to the color of my face, he discovered that the position had been filled the day before when as a matter of fact it had not been filled two hours previously when the parole officer phoned him that I was on my way. The official however was willing to give me other employment and suggested foundry or porter work, and suggested that I be there at seven in the morning. The reader will remember that I had but the clothes on my back and they were not suitable for either wear or the situation to do same and I must frankly --- is a prescription for Colds, Grippe, Flu, Dengue Bilious Fever and Malaria It Kills the Germs. confess that I had not. I left and got busy answering a few ads. In every place however the respective position had just been filled, or in others they frankly told me that they had never had any experience with colored office help and did not know how it would effect their organization, rather not taking any chances. To me holding some very high recommends from state officials and as a prisoner had earned the oft-repeated compliment that "I was the best all-around office man in the state if I could be kept away from wine, women and song;" I felt most humiliated in not being able to secure even the most mental of office work. I answered a few specialty salesmen's propositions and while in some of them I undoubtedly could have made good my amount of ready cash on which to live would not warrant my taking the chance. I must find something that would bring in some immediate returns and walking from one prospective employer to another, in the middle of my second afternoon out. I was startled to hear the loud staccato toots of an auto horn together with the shouting of my own name. I turned around and there sitting in a large special built car was the friend, previously referred to, when on my release from prison over eight years previous I had given all my little personal prison effects It transpired that on his release he opened a little "Mexican chile" stand in a prosperous manufacturing community and made such a success at that he afterwards branched out into the general real estate and investment field. He had made good and prosperity shown all about him. He asked me to jump in his car for a ride. Inquired into my condition, plans, etc., and when I divulged all, said I was the very man he was looking for as he was just commencing a business in which he could use a general office man and at the same time, until the business grew to such dimensions, would give me an opportunity to handle any side line I wished agency or otherwise. I jumped at the proposition as at least it afforded the necessary wherewith to meet the necessities of life and an opportunity for me to do considerable writing during spare moments at which I had always aspired and of which this is but the first contribution, others depending upon the liberality of the kind reader who has read this personal history thus far. In this my first written narrative the gentle reader will no doubt overlook new errors of commission or omission, and if at intervals in its writing it loses its zest of appeal just lay it to the inexperience of the writer to successfully weave a continuous narrative full of spice and interest to the same extent as writers of more ability and experience are requested to. In none of the prison scenes herein related have I exaggerated a particle and every tale is based on fact as witnessed or known to the writer. As this was primarily a personal interest tale hundreds of interesting and mysterious adventures and experiences of other that no doubt would prove interesting reading have purposely been left out and will easily form the basis for other articles yet to be written. In conclusion dear reader if this tale has interested you the writer would appreciate your favorable mention of same to other readers and it is just possible that in this manner with your liberal help a successful future can yet be founded on a mis-spent past.

There is widespread unest, dissention and discussion among the Knighthood throut the State of Virginia, occasioned by a series of articles appearing in the columns of the Richmond Planet, a colored newspaper published and edited in the city of Richmond Virginia, by Past Grand Chancellor John Mitchell, Jr., which said article purports to disclose certain gross irregularities in the management of the affairs of the Grand Lodge of Virginia, Knights of Pythias in a general way and specifically allege that Hon Jos. R. Pollard, Grand Master of Exchequer, and Hon. W. H. C. Brown, Grand Attorney, with the connivance of Grand Chancellor W. B. F.

H. C. Brown, is not a regular qualified attorney at law in accordance with the statutes of the State of Virginia, for such cases made and provided, and Whereas, said publicity has done and is doing our beloved order much harm by lowering the same and its Grand Officers, in the estimation of the general public, and Whereas a careful investigation and perusal of the records of the Clerks' Offices of the Virgina Board of Law Examiners and the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals, tends to substantiate the allegation that the said W.

Be It Also Resolved, that we call upon our Grand Chancellor to require our said Grand Master of Exchequer and Grand Attorney to prepare and submit to him an itemized accounting of the receipts and disbursements of the funds received and handled by them from the Receivers of the Mechanics Savings Bank of Richmond, Va., and that we use our best efforts to have a special auditing committee of three members including at least one regular practicing attorney at law, created at our next Grand Lodge session to audit and report on said accounts, and that the services of a certified public accountant be obtained to assist said committee if necessary Be It Also Resolved, that we use our best efforts to bring about the abolition of the office of Grand Attorney as it is now constituted and that we urge the Grand Chancellor to demand the resignation of W. H. C. Brown, as Grand Attorney by not later than November 10th, 1926, and that said office remain vacant until our next Grand Lodge session. Be It Further Resolved, that we use our best efforts to bring about a substantial reduction in the present salary of ($1800.00) eighteen hundred dollars per year, now paid our Grand Chancellor.

After waiting 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, 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.

The following ringing words of Major General Bell, addressed to the famous "Buffaloes", the 367th Regiment, are typical of the high regard and respect of American and European officers for our colored troops. Every private in this regiment and most of the officers were Negroes. The General said:—"This is the best disciplined and best drilled and best spirited regiment that has been under my command at this cantonment. I predicted last fall that Colonel Moss would have the best regiment stationed here and you men have made my prediction come true. I would lead you in battle against any army in the world with every confidence in the outcome".
