(New York Age March 26) (New York Age, March 26) As The Age goes to press the police of the Metropolitan district are making a minute search for three fourteen-year old coloured girls who disappeared from the home of the Rev. W. H. Moses at 1990 Seventh Avenue Saturday afternoon March 19. They were last seen in front of the Lafayette Theatre at 132nd Street and Seventh Avenue, shortly before midnight. The young women are Julia Henry Moses, youngest daughter of Rev. W. H. Moses, corresponding secretary of the Home Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention and Mrs. Moses; Hortense Nipson, and Ruth Hutchins both of Corona Long Island, but formerly residents of Harlem, and schoolmates of Miss Moses. TIRED OF RESTRAINT. Julia left a no'e stating she was leaving home because she had failed in her mid term examination and was tred of school. She said she was also tired of having her brothers look after her, and of the other parental restraints, which surround ed life at home. The other girls, who were visiting the Moses family, gave no hint to their parents to indicate they were running away. They took a black suitcase which had 'the initials E. L. M. on the outside, containing their clothes. The police were notified, but so far have found no clue to the mysterious disappearance. They are working on the theory that the three young women were "stage struck" and probably remained in the city to seek work in the chorus of some theatrical organization. Julia's sister, Miss Ethel Moses is a well known actress and was formerly in the chorus of Florence Mills' revue at The Plantation. Julia-Henry Moses has the appearance of a girl of mature age, appearing to be nearer twenty than fourteen. She is of light brown complexion, with black hair and black eyes. When last seen she wore a sa'in dress, brown fur trimmed coat and black slippers with Cuban heels. Her family is asking that any information about her whereabouts be sent them at 1990 Seventh Ave. Bring us your job work. We will WHISKEY SQUAD IN BUSHES. WAITED FOR SIGNAL, WHEN MAN AND WOMAN WERE KILLED. (Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) Newbsboy brought the information Sunday morning that a tragedy had taken place in which two persons were killed. Investigation brought the information that a man had been killed and a woman wounded. I had arranged to visit the Ebenezer Baptist Church and decided to carry out the programme. After services I called up Funeral Director W. A. Price's establishment where I learned that the body had been carried. Henry Williams' remains were there. Coroner James M. Whitfield had performed the autopsy GASPING AND PRAYING. I waited for a car, but this being delayed decided to go to St. Phillips Hospital, inasmuch as the Sergeant at the First Police Station had confirmed the report of the tragedy. Arrivin at the hospital shortly after 2 P. M., the lady in charge told me that Madeline Williams who resides at 12 E. Canal Sree was on the third floor. Going to the ward, she was there being attended by the hospital surgeon. Between gasps and moments of praying she told me her story. She had been shot through the left lung, the bullet entering the back and coming out through the front. "LOVING HENRY" SHOT HER She experienced difficulty in breathing. The surgeon was giving her an injection in the arm. She complained of the pain. It was soon over. She said, 'I went to Fulton last night in a car. With me were Margaret Jackson, Clara Lewis Minnie Oscar Jackson Otto Mills James Branch, Thomas Grimes. The men got in some argument. 'Loving Henry' shot through the car. 'Loving Henry' was killed. I am 17 years of age and I live at 12 E. Canal Street. Leaving the hospital a visit was made to the City Jail and then to the rooms of Funeral Director W. A. Price, where in the morgue lay the remains of Henry Williams. Assistant Funeral Director T. H. Allen extended courtesies. THE DEAD MAN'S WOUNDS. Madeline Williams gave her father's name as Gilford Williams and stated that he worked for the Richmond Transfer Company. Her mother's name is Alice Williams. Henry Williams is known as 'Loving Henry' and lives at 5 Hague Street. His brother lives at 605 1-2 E. Clay St. His father's name is Willie Williams and his mother's name, Lena Williams. He was shot in the right side and in the left leg. The bullet passed entirely through the fleshy part of his legs between the knee and the hip. OSCAR JACKSON'S STATEMENT. Going to the First Police Station, the Sergeant informed me that Oscar Jackson, charged with the murder, was in consultation with his lawyer, James D. Hart of the firm of Johnson and Hart. After waiting a short time both appeared and we went into the Captain's office, where Oscar Jackson made the following statement: "I went down to Loving Henry's place in Fulton last night in James Epps' car and got there between 8:30 and 9 o'clock to buy some whiskey from Williams. He said, 'Yes, you can get it.' He went back into the house and came back to the door with a pistol in his hand. He said, 'Yes, here is all the whiskey you want.' Then he started shooting at the car. He shot the girl. The girl hollered, and then I shot him. He was shooting at me. The officer said my pistol had been fired four times. TRIED TO GET AWAY. "After I had shot him, he tried to get away. One of the police officers grabbed him. Williams ran up a side alley and shot again. I surrendered to the officer. I think the cause of the trouble was that I had gone down there that afternoon with Ben Turner and Field Morton and Alpheus Harvey. Alpheus Harvey had been going with Williams' girl and Loving Henry went into the RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, APRIL 2, 1927 house and got his pistol and ran Alpheus Harvey over to the gas station with that revolver. OF SPANISH MAKE. "I told Ben to carry me home on his truck because I did not want to get hurt. When I went down there last night he walked to the car to see me and then he began firing again. I fired my pistol at him to protect myself. I gave my pistol up to a policeman and I surrendered to the officers. The pistol was a Spanish make. Those in the two cars were Margaret Jackson, Thomas Grimes, Leslie Drew, Les Dunn, James Branch Clara Lewis, Minnie Woodson, O'To Mills, James Epps and Madeline Williams. I work for the Reynolds Packing Company. I live at 332 S. Second Street and most of 'the other parties live in that area." Derek Jackson's father's name is Henry Hatcher and his mother's name is Martha Jackson. It is reported that Loving Henry believed that Oscar Jackson came down "here as a 'spotter' for the Purity Squad and was trying to throw him. MADELINE WILLIAMS DIES Madeline Williams was evidently dying when I visited her at St. Philips Hospital Sunday afternoon, at about 2:30 o'clock for she died that evening. This made two deaths as a result of the shooting on Hague Street (Fukon) in front of Henry Williams' house. Judge Ingram sent Oscar Jackson on to the grand jury Monday morning. March 28th upon a charge of murder. It was brought out at the Coroners inquest today (Monday morning) that Officer D. W. Duling's purity squad was hidden in the bushes in the neighborhood ready to raid Loving Henrys house in search of whiskey. He believed that Oscar Jackson was sent there to trap him. Oscar Jackson is said by Clerk Bent Tucker to have a police record and that he has acted as a watcher for whiskey joints. Funeral Director C. P. Hayes has charge of Madeline Williams' remains. The following witnesses testified before Coroner James M. Whi'field, Monday morning at 10 o'clock: JAMES EPPS' TESTIMONY. James Epps was sworn and deposed. I live at 710 N. 28th Street. I drive a taxi. On March 26 1927 about 8:30 or 9:00 P. M. I took Oscar Jackson and five or six other men and women in my automobile from Second and Canal Streets down 'o Hague Street to Henry Williams' house. When we arrived there a tall man got out of the car and went into Williams' house. When they came out of the house they talked awhile. Then Williams went back into the house. In a few minutes he came out with a pistol in his hand and said, 'I told you all to go away from here.' I got out of the car to start it. Then some one in one of the two other autos, which were standing near my car answered Williams. I don't know what he said. Then Williams fired 'toward my car. RAN AWAY. "The answer was from a man in a group of men and women standing near Williams' door. After the first shot was fired I ran away. After the shooting was over. I came back and saw Williams lying on the ground with a pistol in Jackson's hand standing near. I did not see him with a pistol. The police officers came up about this time. THOMAS GRIMES' TESTIMONY. Thomas Grimes said: "I live at 115 S. Second Street and work for the City Ice Delivery Corporation. I was in the taxi driven to Williams (Continued on page 4. Y, W. C. A PAGEANT WITH CHAS.

"CALL TO DISCIPLESHIP." Dr. Stokes States Requirement. Legally Married by Untrue Statements. (Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) I visited Ebenzap Bible Church last Sunday morning at 11:30 o'clock. Notices were read by Clerk Robert H. Thurston. Deacon James R Rhoer asked for the collection. Rev. J. J. Carter announced the visitors in the congregation. Leader Walter D. Jones had charge of the choir. The Scriptures were read by the pastor in unison with the congregation from John 6th chapter, beginning with the 22nd verse. Rev. Stokes took his text from Mark 1:17. 18 verses; He has said unto them. Come and I will make you to become fishers of men. And straightway they forsook their nets and followed Him." His subject was, "Call to Dschishelp. THE GREAT AUTHORITY. "Let us see about his authority to issue such a call. He compared it to the call of a citizen to the colors in time of war. He is not to decide whether the cause is just or unjust. It is his duty as a loyal citizen to answer the call. Jesus only issued a call to a righteous and a just cause. Jesus simply said. Follow me. The apostles had 'o give up their loved ones. They did not know where they were going. He simply said. Follow me. To the man of wealh He said, Sell all you have and give to the poor. DEAD BURY THE DEAD. "One said he wanted to go home and bury his father. He said, Let the dead bury the dead, Follow me. The foxes have holes, the birds of the air have nests. You must take what I take. It is the doctrine of self den al. It is a principle of discipleship. You must deny your self of the things you love. You must let Him lead. Not when the skies are clear, but when they are gloomy I'll follow. Not when the roads are smooth, but when you go through the hedges and ditches. I'll follow. MUST FOLLOW CLOSELY. "When the enemies are misrepe sening, I'll follow. This is the principle of discipleship. Some of us wou'd follow Him if they are permitted to do as they please; 'hey would follow. You must follow Him closely 'o see which way He goes. Some of us follow so far behind that we do not know which-way He goes. He compared it with one au-mobile following another. Many of them stopped following Him when He was discussing the principle of discipleship. Christ 'sopped and said. Will ye also go away?" NO WHERE ELSE TO GC. "Peter said, Lord, where shall we go? Thon has' the words of eternal life. Are you surprised when to'ks forsake you? The other test. Then are ye my disciples when ye do what ever I command you. Many people are hones' mistaken as to facts (Continued on Page 5.) MR. JAMES H. TWINE DIES. The funeral services of Mr. James H. Twine, of 221 West Leigh St., who died Sunday, March 13, 1927 at 4:30 o'clock, took place from the Ebenezer Baptist Church, Tuesday, March 15, 1927 at 3:00 o'clock. Rev. W. H. Stokes spoke eloquently of the life of the deceased in serving his fellowmen and of his loyalty to his family here and elsewhere. Rev. Daly read the Scripture and prayers by Revs. Turner and Hector and solo by Mrs. Lizzie Pollard. The floral designs were beautiful. He leaves a widow, Mrs. Laura H. Twine, one brother, Rev. L. D. Twine, of Thomasville, N. C.; two grandchildren, Misses Laura and Fannie Twine of Philadelphia and a host of relatives to mourn their loss.

When an institution is deserving it must be supported, we ought to see to it. Jesus said, "For ye have the poor with you always and whensoever ye will ye may do them good." An institution that has sheltered scores of old people who deserved to be cared for, who have worn out in the service of others and have not saved any money, but have made friends among the people of the South and have stood by them in a needy time. These old people have been and are being sheltered in the Afro American Old Folks Home, 1115 W Moore Street. Richmond, Va. Now is the time that the good thinking people ought to come to the aid of the home, the home is in need of money and must have it in order to continue the work. Home mission ought: to be supported.

The new hospital building will be 170 feet long, 48 feet wide, and four stories high with a roof garden for evening parties and socials. The land which has been paid for in full is more than two and one-half acres and fronts on Howard Street nearly 600 feet, the cost of which including all expenses, was more than $12,000. The building is designed to cost around $150,000. The equipment will cost around $50,000. When completed and equipped, will represent an investment of around $212,000.

SATURDAY.....APRIL 2, 1927 "The wages of sin is death": the wages of matrimony is trouble. We appreciate the encouraging letters we are receiving from some of our subscribers and thank them for the money accompanying the same. Both are needed right through here now. Dr. Kelly Miller's article in the March number of the Current History Magazine has aroused theire of Secretary James Weldon Johnson who charges that it was a plea for segregation by tacit understanding between white and colored groups. The wording of Dr. Miller's article dealing specifically with this question is, "A tacit understanding, though perhaps not a formal agreement, will be reached, honorable and satisfactory to both white and black, upon whose mutual goodwill and co-operation the welfare of our cities and our nation depends." This is in line with the Interracial Movement, now in active operation in the Southland. We presume that Dr. Kelly Miller had in view the specific problems in the Southland for he dwells at length upon his herculean efforts made in the Helen Curtis Segregation Case in Washington, which ended in failure. We are unwilling to believe that Dr. Miller is weakening in his advocacy of fundamental principles or is discrediting the great victory won by this prince of progressive advocates, the brilliant James Weldon Johnson, of the N. A. A. C. P. of New York City. Let us have peace. Rev. C. A. Cobbs delivered two very inspiring messages at Mt. Calvary last Sunday.

In this taxi were Oscar Jackson (on the front seat). Otto Miles, James Branch, Minnie Woodson, Clara Lew is, Margaret Jackson, Meeline Williams, myself, chauffeur. We went 'o Williams' home to get whisky from him. I went into his house and asked Williams for whisky. He said he did not have any. We went out toward the taxi. Williams walked by and looked into the taxi. "AINT GOT NO WHISKEY." "He said, 'Iaint got no whiskey. You all go way from my house.' He went back into his home, came out with a pistol and said he would kill every Negro from Second Street Bottom. He went to Epps' taxi. Some one fired a shot. I don't know who. I ran into Williams' house as soon as the shooting began. When I came out, I saw Madeline Williams in the taxi alone. She was wounded. I helped put her in an auto and went with her to St. Philips Hospital. She told me, 'Loving Henry' shot her and that she was dying,' MARGARET JACKSON'S TESTIMONY. Margaret Jackson said: "I live at 332 S. Second Street and work at the Imperial Tobacco Company. I heard Henry Williams say he would kill every Negro from Second Street Bottom. I don't know why he said it. He was coming toward the car and had a pistol in his hand. No one answered him and he fired toward the car and wounded Madeline Williams. Then I ran OTTO MILLS' TESTIMONY Otto Mills said: "I was string on the back seat of the taxi and saw Williams coming toward the taxi with a pistol and heard him say he would kill every Negro from Second Street Penitentiary Bottom. He turned his back towards the taxi, held his pistol behind him and shot twice into the taxi. His second shot hit Madeline Williams. I don't know who shot except Williams. No one in the taxi did any shooting." Lew's Monroe said: "The first shot fired was from an automobile. Williams going into the alley at this time. Williams fired once." NATHANIEL GILLIAM'S TESTIMONY. Nathaniel Gilliam was sworn and deposed. "I live at 301 Nicholson Street. I was standing close bes'de Henry Williams when he was shot in front of 2 Hague Street. I don't know who shot him. I was walking south on Hague Street. Williams came out of his door, joined me and when we were in front of Number 2 a man asked Williams for change for a dollar. Williams replied he did not have 'he change. Williams said "Do you want change?" drew his pistol. The man ran around an automobile. There was a shot fired from another automobile. Williams jumped up whirled around and shot back at the car and went into an alley and "the shot was fired into the alley. Another shot was fired from the same car. When I next saw Williams he was brought out of the alley by two men. Williams fired only once." SERGT DULING'S TESTIMONY "I saw the sedan pull up. A man got out. The car backed up in'o the alley and turned round. I couldn't call what house he went into. He went across the street into a house, apparently Williams' house. There was some walking and talking. There seemed to be two men going from Williams' house to the car and one of them said, 'I told you I ain't got no damned whiskey.' He was going towards the car. Then we started up. Then I saw the fight started. I saw the flash from the pistols. There were four other officers besides myself. We went toward these men. We saw the flash of the pistol pointed 'oward the sedan. I could not see who had the gun in his hand. It was at close range, about as far as from here to that wall; about five or six feet. TWO GUNS STARTED. "These two guns started to shooting, one was higher up. The gun from the sedan was fired. It made a louder noise and a greater blaze. From the range of the gun, he seemed to be firing from the front door and seemed to be higher up. As we neared them I saw the man standing on the ground turn and run towards Number 1 or 2 Hague Street into a little alley on the side. When he got to the corner he fell. I kept on to the sedan to get the other fellow. I passed him on my way to the sedan. I didn't look into the sedan. This girl may have been lying in the car. All the others had gotten out. It was apparently emp'y when I passed it. BAN OUT BACK WAY. "I ran through Number 5, a party ran out on the back way. A bunch was standing around. All the people in Number 5 had run out and got away. I asked 'Who shot him?' Oscar looked up and said 'I shot him.' Williams was alive then. He handed me his gun and said he would give himself up to me. Mr. Butcher gave me the gun that he got off of Henry Williams. Three had been fired and three had not. Oscar Jackson's gun had four fired, one snapped on and failed to explode and another had not been snapped on. He said: 'He shot into the car. My wife and other people were in there and I shot back at him.'" AGENTS-NEW PLAN, makes it easy to earn $50.00 to $100.00 week- no. selling shirts direct to wearer.

Morris, Sr. Pastor Last Sunday was a great day with Fifth Street Baptist Church. In the morning the pastor finished the message on "The Five Foolish Virgins" and stressed the need of oil, or the Holy Spirit, to convict, to regenerate, to empower for service, to grow in the fruits of the spirit, and to prepare the virgins with the necessary oil to go into the marriage supper of the Lamb. He also spoke of how freely God will give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him desiring the Spirit above all things, surrendering themselves unto Him, obey Him and finally believe that He will freely give what we ask of Him. In the afternoon there was a great meeting at the City Auditorium of both white and colored. Dr. Morris was introduced by Dr. George W. McDaniel of the First Baptist Church and spoke more than an hour on, "The Tremendous Event's Ready to Break On This Earth at Any Moment." The Sabbath Glee Club sang impressively as did the Boys' Chorus. Mrs. Dr. Morris surprised and pleased every one by a splendid original poem. Dr. McDaniel said he hoped she would have it published as he would like to see a copy. At night the church held communion services and fellows shipped ten new members. The Pastor preached on "The Scarlet Thread" showing the necessity of being protected by the blood of Jesus Christ. The funeral of Brother W. L. Gordon was preached by the Pastor last Thursday. Many of our members are sick and will be glad to see their members and friends; Mrs. Willie Chalmer, 587 Henry Street; Mrs. Emily Smith 1121 N. 5th Street; Mrs. Cornelia Ward, 416 N. 8th Street; Mrs. Mina Lorna Hayes, 24 E.

Next Sunday 3:30 P M Charles B. Morris, Jr. will speak at the City Auditorium in his father's place. As the young man is a great orator and a favorite of Richmond, he will have a great crowd. Every body seems to be enthused over going to hear his great message on "The Measure of a Man." An old lady with whom the father was a favorite speaker, after hearing the son said to her husband "Old man, that boy has got his father beat as sure as you born." A Pageant will be given at night by the Y. W. C. A. —M. T. Ward, Reporter. THAT BABY YOUV'E LONGED FOR. Mrs. Burton Advisse Women on Motherhood and Companionship. "For several years I was denied the blessing of motherhood," written Mrs. Margaret Burton of Kansas City. "I was terrily nervous and subject to periods of terrible suffering and melancholia. Now I am the proud mother of a daughter, a friend of company and inspiration to my husband. I believe hundreds of other women would like to know the secret of my happiness, and I would also write one." Mrs. Burton offers her advice entirely without charge. She has nothing to sell. Letters should be addressed to Mrs. Burton. Correspondence will be strictly confidential. VIRGINIA: IRGINIA In the Circuit Court of the City of Richmond.

"Call to Discipleship" (Continued from page 1) Many are mistaken as to the law, mistaken as to grace in the human heart. All I have to do is to make an open confession and join the Church and God is bound to save me. Others say. What are you going to do about once in and never out. The trouble is you are not all together in. You think you are in. You think you can do every thing that you ever did. They are honestly mistaken, but they are mistaken just the same. NOT MARRIED. Do you know why you have so many divorces? Every couple that stands up before a minister and he pronounces them man and wife are not man and wife. They have lied. They have not taken under consideration the obligation they assume. They give up just as soon as trouble comes up. It is the same way with taking up your obligation with the church. The duties of the discipleship. A man does not like 'o' enter into a losing proposition. It doesn't matter how you use the cards whether you use them for smokes or something else in a wager, it is gambling just the same. NOT A LOSING RELATIONSHIP "No man can enter into this relationship with Christ and be a loser. You wan' to learn at the feet of Jesus by His Word. He quoted from 119th Psalm. Will you accept Him? It guarantees you safety 'thru this world if you accept. If you don't accept it, you don't have to, but after S'MATTER POP I KNOCKED ON THE FRONT DOOR, AN'RAN THROUGH THE BACK DOOR TO LET ME IN! THEN I RAN AROUND TO THE FRONT DOOR TO THAN ME, BUT I WASN'T FAST ENOUGH. I WASN'T THE this world your troubles have just begun. Peter said. Master, we have left everything to follow Thee, what is our reward? You'll get some now and eternal reward after death." Rev.

After waitin't 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. A 4uburn Ave., Richmond, Va. IMPROVEMENT NOTED AT ONCE. I received your treatment O.

SUBSTANTIAL PRIZES FOR NEGRO COMPOSERS Rodman Wanamaker Offers $1000 for Musicians of the Colored Race Stage Favorite Praises Exelento Alltter Harris says Exelento is great! Alltter Harris, one of the country's outstanding actresses, says she owes her beautiful, silky hair to the regular use of EXELENTO MEDICINE COMPANY ATLANTA, GEORGIA ATLANTA, GEORGIA AGENTS IN WHERE Writing For Press SUBSTANTIAL PRIZES Rodman Wanamaker Offers Colore Philadelphia, February (Special Correspondence) — Mr. Rodman Wanamaker has made public an offer of one thousand dollars in cash prizes to composers of the colored race, this offering being made through the Robert Curtis Ogden Association, composed of the colored employees of the John Wanamaker Store, Philadelphia. This is an organization formed for the educational, social and musical development of its members, as well as for the colored race within its sphere of influence. The National Association of Negro Musicians is cooperating. Mr. Wanamaker has divided his offer into five groups of five prizes each. In each group the first prize is $100; the second, $50; the third, $25; the fourth, $15, and the fifth, $10, thus making twenty-five prizes. The types of composition specified by Mr. Wanamaker are as follows: 1—A Hymn of Freedom. This number to be a four or more part chorus, either a capella, that is, without accompaniment, or with accompaniment for orchestra or piano. 2—A Love Song. This may be a song for any voice, soprano, tenor, contralto, baritone or bass (but only for one solo voice). The accompaniment may be for piano or orchestra. Or the composition may be a purely instrumental one for orchestra or for solo instrument. 3—A Lullaby. This number may be in the form of a spiritual, either an old tune with a new harmonization or an original composition. But the form and character of a lullaby must be maintained. It may be, as in No. 2, vocal or instrumental. 4—A rhythmic step, to be entitled "Presidigitation." A jig,舞 or scherzo in any form for piano, band or orchestra. 5—Melodies and Motifs of Synchronous Effects, that is, two or more melodies, either old ones or original, or both, worked together at the same time in the composition: a theme or melody with variations or elaborations in free form. Rules of the Contest The conditions under which manuscripts may be entered in the contest are as follows: 1—Manuscripts must be plainly marked on the outside of the envelope as well as on the manuscript itself, with the classification for which they are intended. 2—Manuscripts must be legibly written in ink and preferably printed music paper should be used. 3—An assumed name must be written clearly upon the manu- BY C.

The outside of this envelope must contain the assumed name which appears on the manuscript, and no other writing whatever. This sealed envelope must accompany the manuscript and not be sent separately. 5-The employment of the Negro musical idiom melodically, rhythmically and harmonically will largely influence the judges in determining the winning compositions, although quality of musical thought and workmanship will be the first consideration. The Negro idiom is preferable but not necessary. 6-The contest is limited to Negro composers of American citizenship. A composer may enter as many compositions as he wishes in each class. 7—Contestants are urged to keep an extra copy of the submitted compositions. Manuscripts will be returned only upon request and when the necessary amount of postage is enclosed in the sealed envelope with the real name and address of the contest.

WORLD'S LARGEST OFFICE BUILDING OLD MADISON SQUARE GARDEN --- This Week By Arthur Brisbane "GOING TO GET DRUNK." $10,000,000,000 CONCERN. RAW WHEAT FOR VITAMIN B. ANDY WAS WRONG. This nation is drifting toward a costly, hate-breaking coal strike, set for April in the central coal fields. The Yankee farmer "going to town to get drunk, and Lord how I dread it" was no more foolish than a country that foresees industrial civil war, surely coming, and does nothing to prevent it. The people own the coal fields—and everything else in the nation—under the right of eminent domain, they can do as they choose. They suffer the loss and inconvenience of all strikes, pay the bills in the end, and still they "go to town to get drunk." The United States Post Office definitely forbids sending the "Decameron," by Bocaccio, through the mails. That is another wise decision which should not have been postponed so long. Mailing or selling that book should carry with it a sentence to prison. Standard Oil in the last three months has paid dividends of more than $55,000,000. That's at the rate of more than five per cent on four billion dollars; so there is a four billion dollar concern right now. If you wait a few years it will be a ten billion dollar concern, but, as you know, Mr. Rockefeller doesn't own all of it, or even half of it. A great deal of Standard Oil prosperity, by the way, has been enjoyed in a market of hard competition by intelligent newspaper marketing. It is to be hoped the rule managers know that, and realize that it pays to talk directly to the people through newspaper advertising. Huge Tower of Stone WORLD'S LARGEST OFFICE BUILDING President A. E. Dickinson of the Indiana Limestone company has announced the closing of the largest single stone contract ever let. The stone is for the largest office building in the world, the New York Life Insurance company building, New York. "The amount of stone required is 450:000 cubic feet, or a thousand car loads, making a solid train six miles long." said Mr. Dickinson. "The building, designed on the set-back principle and topped by an imposing tower, will cover the entire square block formerly occu any newspaper advertising, any where. Paris, advised by Andrea Laphin, eats raw wheat and feels better. Mennieu Laphin says a table- spoonful of germinating wheat, eaten before lunchson, supplies vitamins lacking in other food, especially the vitamin B that stimulates nervous energy. Roman soldiers, as they marched toward Paris under Caesar, ate new wheat slung in a bag at the belt, not bothering to soften it by germinating in water. Their skulls, dug up now, show marvellously strong teeth, ground down, but not one missing or decayed. Good bread, if you chew it well, in better for you, however. Governor Martin, of Florida, has forbidded race-track gambling in his State, and is to be congratulated. Less gambling money will go to Miami and other gambling polls, but in the long run the State will be better off. It will attract fewer blacklegs, thieves and other undesirables. Hubert T. Parson, president of the Woolworth Company, who deals through his stores, with millions of Americans, predicts that this Spring's business generally will be the biggest in the history of the United States. That should comfort the pessimists. This world will be better off, a safer place for human beings and the animals will be happier when all life except human life shall have vanished, from the elephant in the jungle to the typhoid germs in drinking water. If there were no crocodiles there would be no sleeping sickness. If there were no mosquitoes there would be no yellow fever, no malaria. If there were no cats or dogs many diseases would disappear. Children get them from the fur of "pets." If there were no rats or ground squirrels to feed fleas, no fleas to bite humans, there would be no bubonic plague, and if there were no vermin spread by lack of human cleanliness there would be no deadly typhus. The common stock of the big steel company is declared by experts to have a book value now of $219 a share and to be earning above 12 per cent net. That's the stock that the hasty Mr. Carnegie called "pure air, not even water, and one that will never be worth anything," when he refused to take a lot of it for nothing. You never can tell about values in the United States. to Replace Old Madis pied by the famous old Madison Square Garden. The architect is Cass Gilbert. New York, who has designed numerous outstanding American structures, including the Minnesota state capitol." The New York Life Insurance company, one of the largest of the groups making loans on real estate mortgages, not only feels that the building situation is on a solid basis but that the time is opportunity for launching such projects. Other large New York banks have recently let contracts for new buildings." "As an indication of the future trend of building," said Mr. Dick- THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND' VIRGINIA Magazine Page About Your Health Things You Should Know by John Joseph Galnes, M. D. Two people are concerned here: the physician and the patient. Our folks are becoming educated—and very properly—in many of the up-to-date methods in treating disease. Injecting potent medication directly into the veins of the patient is a distinct advance in method, and it has been practiced all over the land, in some cases with almost miraculous results, and in many with disaster following. I have never given an intravenous injection that my heart didn't come up in my throat a while with apprehension that I will creep over the mentality of the careful doctor; then when one of my most esteemed specialist-friends told me a short time ago, that all intravenous injections were dangerous, and that he had practically ceased to give them, my apprehension grew; we can inject medicines into the muscles, and beneath the skin with much less concern as to safety. I shall never permit an intravenous injection for any patient with chronic valvular disease of the heart. A few autopsies have converted me in this particular. Country physicians have not all the facilities for testing the coagulability of the blood, hence they are compelled to rely upon the statement of the manufacturer that the big ampule is incapable of doing harm. If the patient has a good heart, the intravenous "shot" is a lifesaver in some forms of pneumonia. In arthritis, especially in the chonic forms, the chances are at least fifty-fifty that no good, and possible harm may result. We have little to our credit, if we sum up results carefully, in the treatment of chronic venereal diseases by this method, no matter what the agent used. In short, to rush into a measure like that, without due deliberation, is to put the spectacular ahead of good judgment.

Soapy and his friends were invited to go to San Francisco so that Skagway might be a little quieter; this he refused to consider. After an argument with the town surveyor, friends on both sides contributed towards two tombstones. A mystery surrounds him like that of the silent north country. Tourist, who leave Vancouver on the the "Princess" steamer, visits Soapy's grave and photograph the skull which may be seen at Skagway, and question about his life, as they question and marvel at the beauty of the northern lights. Alaska is like other section of the North American continent. It is unique, colorful and alone in its majestic beauty. The brightly painted totem poles are a great attraction, and many of them are of beautiful workmanship. Traces of the Russian rule still remain and the villages are quaint.

HABITANT COTTAGE, QUEBEC JULI the songs of Old France many of which are still heard in Quebec and among the French-Canadian communities in Vermont and Massachusetts. With the capture of the French vessel, "La Seine," in 1705, Quebec (then "New France"), was without clothing. This incident brought about the cultivation of flax, and spinning and weaving soon became a major industry. The militants plumed their shuttles and distrafe to the rhythm of chansons. The charm of Quebec is in the old world atmosphere and customs which still prevail. In the quaint French-Canadian villages women weave and make rugs to music which stimulates them in their work for in many homes this is their sole means of livelihood. In order that the folk songs of the habitants and their handicrafts be heard, the Nation's Museum of Canada is holding a Canadian folk Song and Handicraft Festival at the Chateau --- INVITED HIM TO GO ON A LONG TRIP. glaciers in Alaska are among some of the most beautiful in the world.

Many striking testimonials from the Secretary of War and Army Officers of high rank and reputation are set forth in no uncertain terms. The following ringing words of Major General 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 cannonment. 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". THE NEGRO IN THE NAVY.

If you have a cold, or feel one coming on, act at once. Get the old reliable quick acting Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster and put it on the chest. This marvelous relief bringing plaster is double the size of the ordinary plaster and not porous. Kidney shaped to fit. Gives almost instantaneous relief—warms, soothes protects—helps to relieve congestion and stimulate circulation. Be sure to ask the druggist for the big Johnson's Red Cross Kidney Plaster with the red flannel back. CHICAGO, ILL. Mrs. Amelia McGavock, 4425 S.

That little boy or girl of yours that doesn't weigh enough—that isn't strong—has no appetite—lacks vigor and is perhaps backward, list- less and timid. What are you going to do with him? Have you ever heard of McCoy's Cod Liver Oil Compound Tablets— sugar coated and as easy for ailing children to take as candy?

LUTHER SIMONS DROWNED; FAMILY LIVES IN RICHMOND The following letter has been received by Richmond Police Headquarters from the Alpha Portland Cement Company at Easton, Pa. and anyone having a knowledge of these parties will please notify The Planet or the Police Department. "One of our colored employees, Mr. Luther S. Simons, at our plant at Cementon, New York was accidentally drowned this morning when he fell from a boat, which was being loaded with cement, into the Hudson River. The body was removed shortly afterwards and is now being held by the undertaker Mr. Harry Millpaugh, at Catskill, New York. According to our records, Mr. Simons has a family surviving him, whose address is at 132 Elm Street, Richmond, Virginia. We sent a telegram to Mrs. Simons today, a copy of which we enclose and the Postal Telegraph Company reported back to us shortly afterwards that they were unable to locate Simons' family at this address. We instructed the Postal Telegraph Company to turn thinking you could over to Bureau thinking you could perhaps locate Mrs. Simons in the City of Richmond or else you might have some means of locating her in case she has left Richmond. Mr. Simons was 38 years of age and the name of Mrs. Simons as we have it is Anna, 27 years of age. They have three children 4, 7 and 11. We thought perhaps Mrs. Simons would like to have the funeral conducted in Richmond, and if so, we are anxious to be advised. so the body can be forwarded to her without undue delay. If you have anything to suggest through which we can locate Mrs. Simons, will you kindly telegraph the writer, as soon as possible at our expense." The Mechanics Bank Roof Garden is being prepared for early service. It can be rented or leased by responsible parties. THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA No need to give him any more nasty Cod Liver Oil—McCoy's tablets, rich in vitamins, are made to take the place of that good but evil smelling, stomach upsetting medicine, and they surely do. Try them as directed for 30 days, mother; and if at the end of that time you are not delighted with the improvement in your dear little one, get your money back. You can get them at any druggist and remember, too, they are fine for thin, run down, underweight men and women who need more flesh, strength, vigor and vitality. Demand McCoy's—the original and genuine. Capt. Church, in Kinney and Bowe Sts B. Hancock, Victor.
