Vitriolic Denunciation of Hon. John R. Hawkins and Hon. Emmett J. Scott. Did the Latter Inspire the Attack? VOLUME XLV, NO. 45 Hon. R Great Tennesse Reasons for Vitriolic Den Hawkins a Did the La WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 8—R. R. Church leader of the ancient and unchanging Republicans, when shown a copy of the "Pittsburgh Courier" carrying an attack on him because of his refusal to serve on the colored executive committee of the G. O. P. broke the rule of his political life. He decided to reply b The following statement was dictated by him and carefully gone over: "I have seen the article in the Courier, written I am informed by Dr. Emmett J. Scott, before the Courier representative brought it to me. It is a document of a kind familiar to all who know the fine African hand of its industrious but elusive author. For thirty years his brick-bats have been hurled from behind the coat-tails of protectors. WITHOUT IMPORTANCE. What Dr. Scott may think of me or my reason for withdrawing from the hand-wrought "Committee" now directing and distressing Mr. Hoover's cause is without importance and will not. I reel, supplant the record I have made in an effort to advance our lines on the political field. I have never held an office except through election by the people. Dr. Scott never held an office at all, and such positions as he has filled came from kind hearts unable to turn a deaf ear to his cry. DRASTIC CRITICISM. "Whether Dr. Scott continues to operate Howard University or run good Dr. Hawkins or frockcoat diplomatic receptions in Minister to Haltif, is not the slightest concern to me. My interest in the present situation is exactly my interest in Mr. Hoover as our candidate and in the Republican party whose fortunes have long been mine. I got off the committee, not because I had been refused a leadership for which no man can say I ever applied. (and which no man can bestow upon another) but because I could not in conscience associate myself with political parasites and pretenders. WILL FOLLOW ANY FIGHTER. To the charge that I am not a good follower, I plead guilty if I am asked to follow to the ballot box men who have no ballot to cast and who have not the moral courage to attempt to cast one or cry out against the crime of disfranchisement in their States. MEN WHO FIGHT DONT FOLLOW THOSE WHO RUN. There is not a colored Republican voter whom I would fail to follow or support if called to his standard. There is not a colored political apologist I would follow, not even at the request of Mr. Hoover, unless he was leading a procession to the public square, there to receive the condemnation of an outraged people THAT DISTINGUISHED STATESMAN. "Another point, that is too scandalous to be ignored, I touch. Dr. Scott brought in the name of the late Henry Lincoln Johnson, referring to him as my associate in party struggles, and linking his great name with gentlemen of the present political arrangement, there we have sin at war with absurdity. Mr. Johnson one of the great men in all history of great men should be spared a comparison so odious. His memory should be more sacred than that. To mention the names of Dr. Hawkins, Dr. Scott and Dr. Holsey in the same breath with that of 'Link' Johnson' is a challenge to the patience of honest men. A TRIBUTE TO A RACE LEADER. "Mr. Johnson was a leader, a great lawyer and a voter. He was Republican National Committeeman at the time of his death and under the laws of Georgia he could not have been unless he was a registered Dickinson Mrs. A. G. Taylor, Founder and Grand Worthy Ruler. Imperial Order of King David voter. No year passed without his return to Georgia to register as a voter and keep his citizenship clear. AN EMPHATIC DECLARATION. "NEITHER DR. HAWKINS HAS RETURNED TO NORTH CAROLINA. DR. SCOTT TO TEXAS, NOR DR. HOLSEY TO THE COURT HOUSE IN EITHER GEORGIA OR ALABAMA TO REGISTER HIS CITIZENSHIP AND PLAY THE FULL MAN. "The main point must not be lost sight of. I stated that I retired from the committee because, first, I wanted Mr. Hoover elected, and second, because those in front of the voters were themselves not voters. I STILL WANT MR. HOOVER ELECTED AND THE GENTLEMEN ARE STILL WITHOUT A VOTE." EISHOP GAINES COMING THIRD ST. BETHEL A. M. E. CHURCH The Rt. Rev. A. L. Gaines, b of the Second Episcopal District the A. M. E.

PUNISH NEGRO IN FLORIDA FOR SUPPORTING AL SMITH Jacksonville, Fla.—Police here today were investigating an abduction charge brought by Isaiah Tribble, 38-year-old Negro contractor, who reported that he was kidnapped by three white men yesterday, taken to the woods off a highway near here and strapped with a two-inch leather strap for fifteen or twenty minutes. The Negro reported that the white men told him they were punishing him for being interested in an Alamo for Presence Club and that "your case should be a warning to all of your race". The Negro was under a physician's care at his home here today. JOHN HOLT WANTED I am writing in the interest of an old father and mother.Daymond Holt and Mariah Holt, of Mebane, N. C.

Thompson, annual session at Sharon Baptist Church, Richmond, Va., Tuesday and Wednesday, September 4 and 5, 1928. This was one of the best sessions in the history of the Order. It was more like the revival meeting of a church than an annual meeting of an organization. Peace and harmony reigned throughout the entire session. Our delegates from far and near expressed themselves as being highly pleased with the work of the Order. They submitted the G. W. R. and G. W. S. for carrying the work on successfully for 20 years and wished them many, many more years of success. We are thankful to report that we have not one death claim unpaid. We have $100 waiting in the office for Mr. James Pettus in payment of the death claim of his mother, Mrs. Mamie Pettus Craft, of Star Hope Lodge, No. 112, Rice, Va. If anyone knows of the whereabouts of Mr. Pettus, please notify him or the office. During the past year we have carried sunshine and comfort into 78 homes. We have paid out for death claims $7,650. We have to our credit, with all debts paid, $16,363.76. We take this opportunity to thank our members for their loyal support during the past year, and ask for their continued interest in the future. The Uniform Rank No. 1 paraded September 4, 1928, for the first time in their new uniforms, with torch lights. They added much to the dignity of the Order and the public was very much pleased with them. Mrs. Hester Friend, Captain, deserves much praise for her efforts in obtaining new uniforms for the rank. Miss Julia Robinson played her part well as David the Shepherd. The public meeting was held Tuesday night, September 4, 1928, which was largely attended. An interesting sermon was preached by Rev. F. W. Williams, D. D., after which we had echoes from the different organizations of the city. Prizes were awarded by the G. W. R., Mrs. A. G.

Portland, Me.—Scattered returns from small upstate communities, received late today, increased the lead of William Tudor Gardiner, Republican gubernatorial candidate to 84,-91 over C. Moran, Jr., his Democratic opponent in the Maine State election held yesterday. The major- ity is the largest ever given a guber. Only seventeen precincts out of the 633 in the state remained to be recorded. Mr. Gardiner carried every city in the State with the exception of Biddeford and Lewiston, both of which are normally Democratic by wide margins. The senatorial contest between Frederick Hale, Republican, and Herbert E. Holmes, Democrat, resulted in a margin of 80,004 for the Republican candidate. Congressman Carroll L. Beedy in the First District, Wallace H. White, Jr., in the second and John E. Nelson were defeated by substantial margin in the third, and all Republicans gins and Donald F. Snow, Republican, won an easy victory in the fourth district. The closest contest was in the second district where the Democrats had campaigned the hardest and where their nominees for Governor and for Senator reside. MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY LOSES State Corporation Dismisses the Case Against Assistant Superintendent UNION LIFE INSURANCE CO. NOT INVOLVED—THE EVIDENCE SUBMITTED NOT SUFICIENT. The Union Life Insurance Company of Virginia scored heavily Tues day, September 11, 1928 in its bout through its Assistant Superintendent George E. Stone with the Mutual Insurance Company of Richmond, Virginia. That corporation had Mr. Stone summoned to appear before the Virginia State Corporation Commission through the Bureau of Insurance and Banking to show cause why his certificate of registration should not be revoked on account of derogatory statements alleged to have been made by him concerning the Mutual Insurance Company. At the hearing, after the allegations and charges had been made by the Mutual Life Insurance Company, counsel for the accused Assistant Superintendent moved that the case be dismissed. Without hearing from the defense, the State Corporation Commission entered the order accordingly. The Union Life Insurance Company has been conducting its business upon a high plane and it and its representatives have confined themselves to facts and not to any scurrilous misrepresentations, know the advantages that the corporation is offering and the special allowances being provided for its patrons in its present operating policies. The following clipping from the daily press explains itself: "George E. Stone, assistant superintendent for Richmond of the Union Life Insurance Company of Virginia was ordured by the State Corporation Commission yesterday" (Continued on page 8) Miss Bessie Curtis spent her vacation with her father. Mr. H. Curtis other relatives and friends, who made it very pleasant for her during her stay here. She visited Norfolk, Phoebus, and Gloucester County and left for New York Friday the 7th.

AUTOCASTER MOSES AND THE TEN COMMANDMENTS Moses was a Jew, the great grandson of Levi, the great-great grandson of Jacob, who was the first Israelite, and the great-great-great-grandson of Abraham, who was the first Hebrew. In China they boast of pedigrees thirty centuries long; the only people that can show anything equal to this are the Jews. The proud Jew of this day can look down with consent upon the Hohenzollerns, the Romanoffs and the Guelphs of Europe, "whose blood has crept through sounddrels since the flood." But to the Egyptians Moses was a slave's son. He was to them as a black baby, born in a Louisiana slave-hut, would have been to the Southern aristocracy in 1850. Time has a grim humor. The monarchs of Egypt are today only known as contemporaries of Moses. The Czar of Russia will be known as the contemporary of Tolstoy. Moses goes up into smoking Sinai and has a conversation with the thunder and lightning. What did they say to him? He shows us when he comes down. There on a stone slab are graven the Ten Commandments. Whether he really spoke with God, or whether he had a hypnotic fit up there in the thunderstorm, the fact remains that in some way he he get hold of the toughest, most everlasting and fireproof bundle of truths any son of man ever found. The Ten Commandments are the most important words in history. They were given by Moses to the Jews, but they have been generally accepted throughout Christeudom as the foundation of all law and morals. They are the basis of society in the civilized world. There is no other instance in history where a rule has been recognized and obeyed by the mass of the most intelligent people for over three thousand years. They are not merely religious teachings inculcated by the church. They lay their restraining hand on every human being. They function in the home, the market, the street and office. They hold in the wild places of the earth and in the farthest seas. TIME OF SERVICES IN THE CHAPEL AT CITY HOME.. Rev. F. W. Quarles, Leader and Manager for Charitable Union, 1010 N.

REID AUTOCASTER The quarterly temperance lesson has been a feature of the International uniform series for many years. Its introduction in the Sunday-school was followed by the scientific temperance instruction in the public schools in the various states of the Union. The general purpose is to teach the basic fact that alcohol is a poison and the effect that such a poison has on the individual and society. The whole subject is a live one today, not only in America but throughout the world. In the United States the study is especially pertinent as the wet and dry issue has such a prominent place in the coming presidential election. A moral issue is much more than an individual matter. Every one exerts a far reaching influence, both conscious and unconscious. Paul had a case in hand when he wrote to the Corinthians from Ephesus, during his third missionary journey. Idol worship prevailed and any religion involves a sacrifice of one kind or another. Animals were stain to propitiate the various gods, and there were many of these so-called deities. The priests of the various cults could eat only a very small portion of the meat resulting from such slaughter. Both the economic and natural thing to do was to offer the meat for sale, for there was nothing the matter with it from the standpoint of food. At once a serious and conscientious question was raised in the minds of both Jews and Christians. They must not in any way partake of food which had first been offered to idols. Such food might be on any table where they were a guest. This whole matter was an issue at the Council in Jerusalem and it was mutually agreed between Jew and Gentile Christians that they would abstain from any use of such meats. This same question kept arising as the Gospel was taken to any new territory where the identical conditions were local. The case had to be argued through each time and every group convinced that they must give up things that may have been customary in the old life because of the new implications, though no actual physical harm would result if continued. In eating such food they were surely relating themselves to the worship of idols. The Corinthians were told that the question of personal liberty should not decide the matter. They must face the effect of their actions on others. Doing as they pleased would become a "stumbling block to the weak." Many will not think things through but will permit the action of another to determine their course. Every life is an open book, which is read by others and their lives are influenced accordingly. PHONE MAD. 685. Without raising in any way the question of individual rights Paul reveals how eager he is to always render the utmost help to others. It is easy to imagine the short man standing as upright as possible and declaring as a working principle "Wherefore, if meat causest my brother to stumble, I will eat no flesh for evermore." In Paul's case the meat which had been offered to an idol was as In Paul's case the meat which had been offered to an idol was as nutritious as any other, but alcohol is always a poison. This is the decision of science and not the statement of a mere opinion. By Dunkel Subscribe to THE RICHMOND PLANET You know what a Webster's Dictionary for School purposes will cost You.

M In Boudoirland BY Natalie Thurston Times have changed since Grandmother thought she was doing handsomely by her school girl beauty when she powdered her nose with pulverized starch and nourished her cheeks with white salve from the family medicine cabinet. Today some women use as many as forty different powders, cold creams, toning lotions, rouges, and what-have-you to conserve their facial charm. Following are the contents of my own home beauty shelf: Cleansing Cream—Absorbs powder, dust and impurities of skin without working them into pores. Massage Cream—Lubricates skin for the daily massage which is essential for supplying nourishment to epidermal cells. Towing Lotion—For removing all traces of creams and stimulating circulation. Tissue Cream—To be used at night for nourishing skin. Pore Paste—Essential for dry and sensitive skin as substitute for soap about nose and chin area. foundation-A greaseless cream or astringent lotion for checking oily secretions of over-active pores pre- liminary to powdering or pouging. Bath Powder-For whitening and scouting body and arms. scouting body and arm. Complexion Powder—For face and neck. Bouge — Gives cheeks normal, healthy glow. Lipstick — Emphasizes natural beauty of the lips. Toilet Water -- Exudes pleasing aroma. Perfume — Heightens charm and individuality of toilets. Naturally, a home beauty shelf must mirror the activities of its owner. Mine reflects me as I am—an average workday woman. Of course, that of a society woman would be much more complete. Women of wealth, whose days are an endless cycle of golf, tennis, bridge lunchions, charity garden fetes, dinners and balls require special make-ups for day-time games for sports, and for evening.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1928 Try reading colored journals and supporting the merchants, who ad- vertise in their columns. There is plenty money in the country. What the people want is plenty of money in their own pockets. This is a world of much trouble and great tribulations. If you are not worried about one thing, you will be troubled by another. So, whip up your horse and trot along. Some men are troubled with a wife and they add to this an automobile. Soon, they have lost both, with the wife in the Juvenile Court making them turn over the money that they had intended to give unto the other woman. Many women bewail the fact that they have picked out a "no-count" man for a husband. Well, some of the females have no judgment when it comes to some of these men. When a man fails in every thing else, he goes either into the ministry or engages in "bootlegging". The latter is thought to be more profitable. If he loses, he is free of worry and expense, having his board and lodging furnished, regular hours observed and working rules that are not changed until his time is out. BEN DAVIS YIELDS Steps to harmonize the disgruntled colored leaders of the Old School is evidently successfully under way, and is being promoted by the Colored Voters Division of the Republican Party at Washington, if we are to judge by the utterances of Editor Benjamin J. Davis in the issue of the Atlanta Independent of September 6, 1928. He says: "After visiting the Negro division of the Republican headquarters in Washington and Chicago with the view of surveying the situation and rendering whatever service we could to those in charge, we decided to write an article approving the set-up in spite of what had been said to the contrary." We presume that this attitude on his part will be approved by the other disgruntled elements within the ranks of the colored Republican voters of the country. The great Republican victory in Maine this week has brought about an optimistic feeling, but it has not disheartened the Democratic hosts, who are bending every effort to the landing of Gov. Alfred E. Smith, of New York, in the White House. MRS. WILLEBRANDT'S PREDICAMENT We do not think that there is any doubt, but what the Republican leaders of the Nation have been brought to realize that Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt is about as dangerous in the present political atmosphere as a lighted lamp would be in the gaseous part of a coal mine. Her tongue is her greatest liability. The published statement explains without explaining in full, what the public wants to know. The report said: Washington, Aug. 31.—The published report that Mrs. Mabel W. Willebrandt, Assistant Attorney General in charge of prohibition enforcement, was murderly summoned to a conference here yesterday with Herbert Hoover. H. Edmund Machold, Republican State Chairman of New York, and William H. Hill, Chairman of the New York Hoover-Curtis Campaign Committee, to discuss her activities in recent prohibition cases in New York, brought denial today from Mrs. Willebrandt that she and the New York politicians and Mr. Hoover had discussed her official duties. Mrs. Willebrandt entered this conference late in the day, and there was speculation as to whether the New Yorkers had told her that the recent wholesale raids in New York City by Federal prohibition agents were having a bad effect upon the fortunes of the Republican Party in the city and State. The report continues Mrs. Willebrandt was plainly annoyed today by deductions drawn from her conference with Messrs. Hoover, Machold and Hill. "It is preposterous," she said "that Mr. Hoover or any other candidate for a high and dignified office such as the Presidency of the United States would presume to control a public officer in the discharge of official duties. Mr. Hoover has not done so and would not do so. The conduct of my official duties was not discussed with Mr. Hoover. Mrs. Willebrandt did not deny that the effect of prohibition on the New York campaign was brought up in the discussion saving. It is an issue of perhaps greater importance in any other State. She declared in discussing the matter informally that there had been no mention by any one in the conference of her activities in dry law enforcement. There was no suggestion that the Government cease its activities in prohibition cases, she said, and added that the recent raids on the night clubs in New York were not mentioned. Mrs. Willebrandt did not explain why she was called to Mr. Hoover's personal headquarters while Mr. Machold and Mr. Hill were there. She declined to give any especial reason for participating in a conference which presumably dealt entirely with practical politics in New York and policies to be followed by the Hoover managers and the new Republican State Chairman. Mrs. Willebrandt could properly state what Mr. Hoover did not do or say, but how could she assert what he would not do? She was evidently "hot in the collar" when interviewed by the persistent newspaper correspondent. She admitted too much, however, when she was quoted as follows: The one to deal with Mrs. Willebrandt is her superior officer, Attorney General Sargent and he evidently has had some "conversations" on this all important subject. In pandering to the vanity of some of the Republican women in this country by elevating one of their number to this responsible office, a most unfortunate selection seems to have been made in naming this brilliant, but indiscreet woman to this important position. The political situation in the United States at the present time is without a precedent in the history of this republic. It seems to portend the disintegration of both parties. Democrats, figuratively speaking wearing the uniform of their organization are inside the Republican army lines and Republicans wearing the habiliments of their party are inside of the Democratic army lines. The two vital points or issues involved are whiskey and religion. The conservative Democrats rallied under the leadership of Hon. Wm. G. McAdoo, now of California. He met with political defeat at the last Democratic N. Convention in New York. He bitterly opposed Gov. Alfred E. Smith on the liquor question. It was believed by his supporters that his retirement from the presidential race would be followed by similar action on the part of the redoubtable Democratic leader of New York State. However, he "reckoned without his host", for being backed by that powerful Democratic Tammany Hall organization, supplemented with abundant funds, he succeeded in capturing enough delegates to the Houston Convention to ensure his nomination on the first ballot. Then followed a scramble to get on the Smith band-wagon, while his enemies devoted their time to the construction of a platform, so composed as to make it impossible for him to stand upon it in view of his liberal views on the whiskey question. The attempt to make it "bone-dry" was successfully accomplished, but the master politician was shrewd enough to send a telegram from New York stating his unequivocable position and pledging himself to support the laws as they are written, but giving additional assurances that he would use the power of the presidential office to change them. This brought about the charge that he had bolted the platform, built by his enemies and this justified his enemies in bolting him as the nominee of the party. The hot-bed of the Ku Klux Klan has always been in the Southern States, notably so in Georgia. These Klan members are pledged against Roman Catholics, Jews and Negroes. The naming of Alfred E. Smith, who is an Irishman or rather more properly speaking of Irish descent, which is practically the same thing, and Irish people as a rule are Roman Catholics did not set well on these Democratic stomachs in the Southland. It produced cases of violent vomiting, which ailment has been going on ever since. A dish of crow or polecat or buzzard could not have been more nauseaating to these scions of the Southland. As a means of adding to the flavor and to kill the scent, so to speak, Senator Joseph T. Robinson, of the rock-ribbed Democratic State of Arkansas, was thrown in to make the dish or dishes more palatable. This action did a little good, but not enough to disguise the disgusting STY RICHMOND PLANET, RIDHMOND' VIRGINIA odor of the entire dish. In order to bring the South in line, it was emphasized that Robinson was a "dry" and that he is the first Southerner to be honored with a place on the presidential ticket since the war. The disgruntled Southerners intimate that if Robinson had been placed at the head of the ticket, instead of at the tail and Smith had been placed at the tail of the ticket instead of at the head, conditions would have been different. In the meantime, the Republicans had anticipated conditions, for they named a man for president, Hon. Herbert Hoover, who from a political standpoint, was a political "what is it"? He is just as much Democrat as he is Republican and vica versa, having been prominent in the government during the presidential career of that Democrat, Hon. Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey and Virginia. His efforts improving conditions in the South during the great Mississippi flood made him an ideal representative for Southerners, even though he wears the uniform of the Republican party, which uniform does not fit him in a manner commensurate to his high office. As a result, the bolting Democrats, anxious to retain the name of the party, while fighting its recognized battalions and officers formed a unit, known as "Hoover Democrats" and are now lined up as service brigade attached to the Republican army. They are opposing Gov. Smith on his "wet" declarations and his Irish Roman Catholicism. In the meantime the peculiar part of the matter is due to the evident intention on the part of these "bolting" Democrats to resume their places in the Democratic army as soon as the defeat of Gov. Alfred E. Smith has been accomplished. In the meantime, Gov. Smith's views on the liquor question have attracted from the Republican party prominent citizens all over the country, who endorse his views in the matter of liberalizing the liquor laws. They are opposed to the "bone-dry" doctrine, now regarded as a fixed plank and policy of the Republican platform. In the meantime, colored people have become interested. The opposition of the Negro-hating South to Gov. Smith and his denunciation by the Ku Klux Klan has brought to his support, the Jews on the one side and the Negroes on the other. The anomalous condition is probable that the South will be Democratic in the body and Republican, so far as the presidential ticket is concerned at the head. The Democratic leaders are embarrassed and handicapped for Tammany Hall, through Gov. Smith has secured control of the national Democratic organization and is in a position to discipline the state leaders, who fail to hand over the electoral votes of their respective states to this great political organization. The claim that they cannot do so on account of the voters will not be accepted for the reason that it has been a "mighty long time" since the voters in the states have had any voice as the political leaders have been doing the counting. This then is the situation in the country today. Alfred E. Smith or Herbert Hoover? Alfred Hoover or Alfred E. Smith? One week it looks like the one and another week it looks like the other. Certain it is that the prejudices engendered from a racial and religious stand-point will not be dissipated in less than fifty years. As for the Negroes, they are on both sides of the political wood-pile and "we shall see what we shall see". In the premises, which ever way it goes, some of them can sing, "Glory Halleujah!"

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 half dozen gravel, some as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel highly recommend L.

Yours truly MRS. CHARLES EBLING Danbersville, Pa. PERRY W. HOWARD'S PLEA OF INNOCENCE. The only information I have with reference to my indictment is what I have read in the daily papers. I have read in the daily paper I represent—Negro Leadership. I am a martyr to the cause I represent—Negro Leadership. Persecution is the price of martyrdom. Prison walls to martyrs are like palaces to the nobility. I am perfectly willing to be offered up and pay the price of martyrdom. A cause is certainly far greater than the individual. I have been pursued politically and in the civil courts, and now my political enemies seek to have me crucified in the criminal courts. I have no idea what the charge is. Whatever it is, I know that it is the back-fire from the current of a righteous cause, and this cause will go on, whether I am temporarily incarcerated or not. I am guilty of no wrong doing, directly or indirectly. My "'lily-white"' adversaries have enlisted the aid of powerful influence, material, political and otherwise, and I am not surprised at what happened. For seven years, I have been the most bounded and investigated man in the United States. No man in the Nation has done more than I to prevent anything that ever smacked of the purchase and sale of public offices. I required of applicants for offices in the State of xMississippi affidavits declaring that the applicant had given or promised to give no consideration of any kind for the office. This was at the inception of my administration and prior to the enactment of the statute requiring the filing of affidavits to that effect with the Comptroller General. I appeared before the House Judiciary Committee as the records of that Committee will show, and urged the enactment of a law requiring all appointees to make an affidavit stating that they had not given or promised to give any consideration for their appointment. I repeat that I have done no wrong. I have been merely accused as the result of an exparte hearing. No one in public life is safe from accusations by his political enemies, and all fair-minded Americans will throw around me the presumption of innocence until I have been proven guilty. I have no fear of the outcome of a trial in Mississippi. A grand jury indicted Perry W. Howard and associates, and postponed trial until Nov. 5, 1928, nearly four months from date of indictment and during the entire time of the campaign for the Presidency, in which campaign Howard and his associates are virtually interested. Such delays are positively prohibited by the Constitution of the United States, Article VI: In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and District wherein the crime shall have been committed, which District shall have been previously ascertained by law and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process WRIGHT city of Lar in Persia where a tour is said never to have set foot.

NEW YORK—A marvelous picture of life in foreign lands—Persia, Borneo, Java, and India, and of the people who dwell therein from the humble native who sleeps by the roadside to the wealthy nabob, of sailors and savages, cut-throats and brutal crews as given in Eugene Wright's new book, "The Great Horn Spoon," shortly to appear. The book does for those far lands and strange places what Jack London and Rex Beach did for Alaska. Eugene Wright was a common sailor. He had worked in an iron foundry running white hot metal into the fire, with men two and three men his age. At 18 he was the subowner of an Italian crew, near Hackensack, N. J. He had worked his way all through the West and climbed the perpendicular cliffs of the Canyon of the Dead. But he managed to go to Columbia University, accumulated a library of the great masters of literature and lived with them. When the call of the sea struck him he found good hearts among the dregs of the waterfront in the ship's forecastle. So he has called his book the "Great Horn Spoon" which the old New England skippers swore by. In Calcutta he was hit by a breaking cable and invaded to the hospital. Soon after he was taken by dengue fever. His funds low, he lived with Hindus and Arabs looking into the hearts of men. He traded his last pair of sneakers for the blow pipe of a snake-eating dwarf who lived 700 miles in the interior of Borneo. For months he lived in jungles, on the road, in forestes under a blistering sun. He ascended strange tropical rivers which often rose 18 feet over eight. He found the ancient THE RICHMOND PLANET.

J., virtually "dead" was about to cast off again. The editor of the American magazine heard of this strange young man saw the stories he had written for magazines in India and asked him to write. The office was thrilled when they read his impressions. And thus in suffering and depression in adventure and high hope born the "Great Horn Spoon" a rocking book with reminiscences packed between two. It is a tale of hardship and strange worlds, and jungle life. It is a swift runner, dramatic tale with exciting incidents in the work of a master craftsman with the soul of a conspirator. This reviewer predicts that the "Great Horn Spoon" will be read 100 years "tom now." for obtaining witnesses in his favor and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense. What will the Ten Million Colored People, with their lone Representative on the Republican National Committee do about it? The great Republican National Convention confirmed his title to his seat and recognized him as entitled to sit with representatives from other States. Upon the demand of that anti-Negro "Carpet-bagger" George L. Sheldon, ex-Governor of Nebraska, is Howard to be sacrificed in the Courts and crucified in the Republican Party? Let the Colored People and their organizations give the answer now, so that its reections may be heard Nov. 6, 1928 from the Atlantic to the Pacific from Canada to the Gulf. "The more you mow us down, the more thickly we grow; the blood of Christ'sians is fresh seed."—Tertullian It has been a common saying among white southerners that whenever northerners attempt to deal with the Negro question in the Southland, they almost invariably make a mess of it. This seems to have been verified in the case of Hon. George L. Sheldon, former Governor of Nebraska, who seems to have tired of residing within the State, which had rewarded him with high office. He preferred to occupy the southern designation of "carpet-bagger" and he moved into Perry W. Howard's State of Mississippi to make trouble for him and the rest of the able colored men of that far Southern State. As a rule, with the exception of the "poor whites", thousands of southerners, who are against the Negroes are against the other fellow's Negroes and he is "gloriously" in favor of his own Negroes, those who possess family ties coming down the line from slavery. many of whom now trace their lineage to the black pamphlets of other days and to the "big house" Negroes, who were butlers, hostlers valets and the like. This class of southerners have a bitter antipathy to Negroes from the North. 9 They dislike that nasal twang and they despise everything pertaining to this class of the "brothers in black" who aspire to civil rights and social privileges. The Hon. George L. Sheldon evidently did not know this when he went up against that Negro Mississippiian, who hailed from the State of Hon. John Sharp Williams and whose appointment as Special Assistant Attorney General THANKS FOR BLESSINGS BIG BRAINS BETTER CARNEGIE'S FIRST $400 A $500,000,000 BABY Mount Rokatina, on the island of Palowhek, Dutch East Indies, blew up in a volcanic eruption. Half the island, six villages were destroyed, a thousand killed. Yesterday news came that three more villages were wiped out by a tidal wave caused by a submarine earthquake. We pay little attention to these deaths far away, a thousand or fifty thousand, little difference. But we ought to observe with gratitude how many things might happen to us that do not happen. Raditch, Croatian statesman, murdered leader of peasants, is found to have a brain of abnormal weight, 1,459 grammies. The average for eleven thousand human brains was 1,361 grammies. All things being equal, a heavier brain but one of the heaviest brains ever weighed, that of Cavier, the great naturalist, was lighter than that of a man who died in a British poorhouse. Possibly the man in the poor house was also a genius, but never had a chance. "Andrew Carnegie made his first $400 without spending a cent." That's how big fortunes often start. Carnegie bought $400 of insurance stock, gave his note in payment, paid for the stock with its dividends, owned it for nothing. Joseph P.

Howard's white colleagues, who often proudly mentioned him as a living example of what the much abused State had done for this class and type of Negroes, who knew how to appreciate Southern rules and customs and to accord credit to the liberal-minded white elements in this section of the country, who had made such an achievement possible. As a result when the " carpet-bagger" Hon. George L. Sheldon went up against Perry W. Howard and his southern white Republican friends in the Courts of Mississippi. Howard and his friends won out. This was later confirmed by the Republican National Committee and later still by the Committee on Credentials and finally by the Republican National Convention itself. This would logically have ended the controversy. But Sheldon was not satisfied. He had whispered into the ear of the distinguished Californian. Hon. Herbert Hoover and he in turn left the matter to one of his managers, it being understood that Sheldon was "a friend of the family." Perry W. Howard was enclosed upon the roster of the Republican National Committee. This gave him control of the campaign in Mississippi. People from this State, both white and black, know how to fight and Howard was no exception. Ex-Governor Sheldon, not being able to win by fair means proceeded to appeal to the court of unfair means. The blow was aimed, so to speak, "Below the belt". A hasty decision was not wanted, despite the positive command of Article VI of the Constitution of the United States. Another "carpet bagger" for a few days was imported in the person of A quaker way to make money without capital is to have a good idea and push it. A way to place metallic surfaces with aluminium, something hitherto found impossible, is discovered and involves actually billions of dollars to be saved. The invention will be applied to endless uses, from kitchenware to locomotives, and is expected to give automobiles a finish defying time and weather. There are as good ideas in the human brain as ever came out of it. Try and find one. Sears, Roebuck stockholders yesterday voted to increase capital stock by 800,000 shares. At market prices that company is worth more than $500,000,000. Julius Rosenwald hardly expected that when he took hold of the company a few years ago. Compared with other companies General Motors, Standard Oil, U. S. Steel, etc., Sears, Roebuck is only a baby. We have the four billion dollar stock company. When will the 100 billion company arrive The death of Chang Tso-Lin, dynamited in his railway carriage, is attributed by a British writer Lenox Simpson, to the Japanese "Black Dragon Society," which interests itself in patriotic Japanese affairs, and is said to have had a hand in the death of the Queen of Korea in 1895. In spite of the romantic name and the patriotism the Japanese will probably dig out the facts. They don't like any organization exercising powers outside of government, or controlling government, such as are tolerated, some times in other countries. Mrs. Mabel Walker Wilebrandt Assistant Attorney General of the United States. She assisted in having Perry W. Howard induced for conspiracy; set the hearings for November 5. 1928 when she and Sheldon knew that the election was Tuesday. November 6. 1928. In the meantime an order was secured from Attorney General Sargent suspending Perry W. Howard from office and p.v. pending this hearing, presuming him guilty until he proves himself innocent, thus upsetting a fundamental principle of criminal law which is as old as English jurisprudence itself. In the meantime the Chairman of is in the embarrassing predicament the Republican National Committee of trying not to deal with the official Republican National Committee man from Mississippi, and who occupies that position until he has been found guilty of crime before a vacancy can exist in the office held by him. In the meantime, Perry W. Howard announces to the world to use his exact language: "I have done no wrong. I have been merely accused as a result of an expatriate hearing. No one in public life is safe from accusations by his political enemies and all falminded Americans will throw around me the presumption of innocence until I have been proven guilty. I have no fear of the outcome of a trial in Mississippi." We agree with him. It is an issue between a black native Mississippiian and a "carpet-bagger" Nebraska. In such a contest, Justice will be enthroned and a proper judgment be reached in short order. We would suggest that Hon. George L. Sheldon of Nebraska go on back home and permit the black and white Mississippiians to get along in peace BEATING THE MOON. SINKABLE LIFE GUARDS. A NOBLE EFFORT. A WOMAN AT 49. Men have already beaten the moon its journey around the earth. The moon's trip takes a little more than twenty-seven days. Fliers have made the trip in twenty-three days. Beating the moon around the earth o one achievement. The next will be to TIE the sun in its apparent journey around the earth. With machines flying 1,000 miles an hour, gentlemen wanting a prolonged sun bath will be able to fly directly under the sun, following it around the earth for twenty-four hours or longer. New York's Civil Service Commission investigated the qualities of life guards, hired by politicians to protect New York City's beaches. They were supposed to dash into the boiling surf and save the drowning. It was found that of the officers couldn't swim a stroke. 18 more refused to "risk the swimming test in the water." They thought it too dangerous. In the words of Mr. Cook, of Los Angeles, imagine their embarrassment when anyone cried "help." There may be something in the statement that politicians are not fit to attend to any kind of business. In New York they certainly are not fit to select life guards. When a gasoline lanch exploded on North Bay, Ontario, a priest, a man and wife and their two children were thrown into the water. All but one father perished. the father persisted. With his two little children, one aged two years, one only a month old, in his arms, the father endeavored to swim to the shore, a mile away. But, exhausted, he was obliged to bun the children. He reached the PTVK and harmony together. This indictment business might well be considered in the nature of a joke were it not for the serious consequences to follow Perry W. Howard's persecution. Powerful Negro organizations throughout the country should resent it. More than ten million Negroes have this lone honest, able Negro leader to represent them on the Republican National Committee and they will see it at the ballot boxes in the States of the North and West that the blow aimed at them from this source shall be resented at the polls. Whether it will result in landing the "whiskey" Hon. Alfred E. Smith of New York or the one statistical Hon. Herbert Hoover of California in the White House of the Nation will be an after consideration. Mrs. Mabel Walker Willerbrandt may be fine on a whiskey scent in the tracing of bootleggers, but she has shown absolutely no bloodhound ability in the trailing of Southern Negroes. She is wholly unable to tell the difference between an innocent Negro and a guilty one. We would suggest that Attorney General Sargent call her off and send her to the Canadian border or to the Florida shore line, where she may be able to tell the difference between a whiskey shark and a prohibition blue fish.

Roy Chapman Andrews, searching for strange things in Central Asia, reports finding an extinct monster "as big as the Woolworth Building" such an animal, if carnivorous, could carry home in its mouth a couple of big elephants and walk through an ordinary city crushing buildings as it went But it had a small head, little or no thinking power. That is why it is no longer with us. A great nation, and good pace maker, is Canada. This year's Canadian wheat crop, 500,000,000 bushels, breaks all records. Canadians have just dedicated a National Park in the northern part of the Province of Saskatchewan, 900,000 acres in extent. Doing things in a big way is Canada's habit, and this country is glad to have so able and friendly a neighbor. Uncle Sam contributed to Canada wheat growers when he dog the Panama Canal, letting all nations use it on the same terms as ourselves. Through that canal, Canadians, the Northwest can deliver wheat in Europe much more cheaply than on Middle, Western farmers can deliver it.

D. LEST WE FORGET Oxygen is absolutely essential to human life. Let the supply of oxygen be diminished, and the health suffers accordingly. There is no danger of an over-supply of oxygen from the air about us. Oxygen is stimulant—tonic. Pure oxygen gas is a destroyer, and is not met with, save in the laboratory. It is a supporter of combustion—a steel watch-spring will burn in it, as a pine splinter will burn the air. The oxygen burns up important in the blood, reaching them through our lungs. Oxygen in proper dilution with nitrogen makes up the air we breathe. Our "bounden duty" is to get plenty of pure air—we are in little danger of getting an over-dose. If you are in the habit of lying in bed until nine o'clock these mornings, you are not getting the health-giving supply of oxygen that you must have if you would be vigorous. The habit of lying in bed until long after sunrise, is pernicious in the extreme. That debauch dinner that you devoured at six o'clock the evening before, and which you should not have taken at all, gave up at least fifty per cent of deadening impurities, felt dull, apathetic, and appetless, when you laid out of bed at nine o'clock the morning, you were amused, and—did it yourself, if a physician tried to poison you, you'd want to thrash him if not more. You prefer to commit your own suicide! Nitrogen deadens. You consume an over-dose of nitrogenous foods—its effect is certain. You take away the nitrogen excess with oxygen, derived from both air and water—for water is one-third oxygen, derived from both air and humus the lungs with bed-covers and, or ten hours, it is no wonder you feel lazy and incapable.

Although many thousands of American tourists regularly invade the ancient city, it is not often realized that their ancestors once attempted to gain access with less success. Early in the War of Independence war, forces of American soldiers faced off against Montreal under General Richard Montgomery up the Richeau against Montreal and the other under Colonel Benedict Arnold through the walls of Maine against Quebec. The two armies united before Quebec in November, 1775, and commenced that lasted for 154 days. Hints for the Home by Nancy Hart Good picture-framing is a new art which has much to do with the increased popular appreciation of pictures, and the fact that pictures seem to have a new beauty in our eyes. It has been discovered that the best way to bring out all that is lovely in a picture is to have it properly framed. One that seems dull may only need the right frame to bring it back to favor-perhaps a lighter, more colorful frame, toned to its colors, instead of the old, dull, heavy frame. But carding a colorful frame that seems to be warm, "try out" a more becoming frame, and see what a difference there will be.

"Uery Latests" "Uery Latests" By Cecile With the return of molded lines and firing skirts we have many interesting developments for fall. For one—this smart little wool frock that one of the principal members of the wardrobe of Katherine Hephart, now playing in "The Big Pond." Bodice and hipline of this costume discreetly follow the lines of the figure, while the skirt ripples—also discreetly—at the sides. Back lines of the skirt are quite straight, and a deep inverted pleat at the center front disposes of additional fulness in a clever, tailored way. Notice, too, the slightly lengthened skirt. Whatever our doubts about the trend of fall fashions at this early data, we may be sure of four important facts: There will be longer skirts, uneven hems, molded skirts—and fibres. Short Jacket Suits for Fall Not only for sports wear, but for more formal occasions, too, Parisian designers have sponsored the short jacket costume for fall. This gives a new importance to the under-blouse and skirt which show to much better advantage than they have under full-length ensemble coats. Blouses may contrast in color or show smart conventional designs in colors that harmonize with the plainer shades of the suit. Pleated skirts appear most often with these short jacket suits; collars are scarf-like, or have softly tailored lines. Can You Wear It? The beret—or close-fitting "tam"—is having a vogue for sports. Have you a part, round face with whips of windblown hair to frame it, or a mop of boyish curls? Then you may wear the beret and be certain you are "right." Not otherwise. More Matches For a time we were content with matching shoes and hand-bags. Now it must be shoes, hat, scarf and bag—if we would be supremely smart. With a best frock or costume for a promising background, an unending variety of costume effects can be achieved in this way. ense at Quebec WHERE ARNOLD ATTACKED at Pres-de-Ville and Arnold wounded at Sault-au-Matelot at the other side of the town.

The tablet in commemoration of the part taken by the Royal Pusher in the defense of the town throughout the reign of a Canadian writer against an active and oppressive enemy THE HUMAN SPHINX BY Ellis Parker Butler ILLUSTRATIONS BY RELWATSON SIXTH INSTALLMENT WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE Simon Judd, amateur detective, and William Dart, an undertaker, are visiting John Drane, eccentric man of wealth, at the Drane place. Suddenly the household is shocked to find that John Drane has been murdered. The dead man is first seen by Josie, the maid, then by Amy Drane and Simon Judd. The latter fains. Police officers call and investigations begin. Dr. Blessington is called, and after seeing the murdered John Drane, makes the astounding, revelation to Amy Drane that her "uncle" is not man but a woman. Dr. Blessington discounts the theory of suicide, saying that Drane was definitely murdered. Dr. Blessington comments on the fact that all the servants in the household of Drane are sick, and that Drane has never discharged a servant for ill health. Dick Brennan, the detective, arrives to investigate the case. Drenn questions the persons in the house, asking Amy if anyone had any reason to kill her "uncle." NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "No; not a reason; not the slightest reason!" Amy declared with absolute positiveness. "I can't even imagine why anyone should want to kill my uncle." "And as far as you know, there was no one in the house last night but your uncle, Mr. Judd here, Mr. Dart and the servants?" Brennan asked her. "I know," he added, "that you can't say whether others may not have come in unknown to you." Amy's eyes turned to Bob Carter. "Yes, I was in the house last night," Carter said. "About when, Carter?" Brennan asked. "Late," Carter said. "After eleven and before twelve. Mr. Drane said he wanted to see me; he sent Norbert to tell me so yesterday afternoon—just before we went for the drive, you remember, Amy? There was no hurry, Norbert said; either last night or today would do. I rather knew what he had on his mind. I had asked him if I could marry Amy, and he had put off answering me. So last night I happened to pass here and I saw the lights in the library and I came in." "Ring or knock or anything?" "I went to the library door at that side of the house and knocked on the door, and Mr. Drane lst me in." Bob said. "Mr. Dart was with him; no one else. I said good evening to Mr. Dart and Mr. Drane said we could go across the hall to the dining room for a few minutes, and we did. There's one thing I ought to tell you, I guess; just as we were going out Mr. Dart said, 'Now, remember what I told you, John; I don't approve. It was something like that; he may have said 'I'm against it' or 'I won't have it.' I was rather excited, you see; what Mr. Drane was going to see; say meant such a lot of naturally," agreed Brennan, "Walt!" "That's about all," Carter said. "We went into the dining room and Mr. Drane talked to me awhile. It was mostly about my prospects and what I was planning to do with my life and whether I would be willing to come to this house to live after we were married—Amy and I. He said we had best travel for a year, or stay elsewhere a year. After that he wanted us here. I told him that what Amy wanted—it was the only reason she hesitated about marrying; she did not want to leave him. So he said it would be al bright." "I'm so glad, Bob!" Amy cried. "I'm so glad to think he was willing!" "And then what?" Brennan asked, seeing that Carter was hesitating. "Well, it was rather queer," Carter said, blushing. "I thought it was rather queer then, but it doesn't seem so queer now—not when we know what we know now. He asked if he could kiss me." "He did?" Brennan exclaimed. "Not quite so brasily as all that," Carter said. "He laughed and laughed and said that if we were French he supposed we would kiss each other on both checks. I said I had been kissed, when I was given my cross. Then you won't mind if I do kiss you," he said, and he kissed me. I felt—well, I felt sorry for him, that's how I felt. I thought "Poor old fellow!" I knew nobody around here cared much for him, and he was getting pretty old. That sort of feeling. And now, when I know he was a woman!" "It's bound to come out now and again," said Brennan tersely. "A woman only stand so much without affection. The very worst I've ever known came to it now and again. And then what did you do?" I talked a few minutes about when the wedding might be, and said I would have to leave that to him. Then he said— Carter hesitated a moment but BreNNan said nothing. "He spoke about money," Carter went on. "He said he had made his will in Amy's favor and that he was leaving her everything he had. Then he said she was a good girl; he said very nice things about her and said he meant to give her outright a hundred thousand dollars the day she was married, if I did not object. I have nothing of it own, you know. He said he thought, living in house and having to be mistress of it, Amy should not be compelled to ask him for money. He meant for the extra expenses, the things I could afford. I didn't see anything wrong in that. I didn't see that it had anything to do with my loving Amy. Amy knows it's not anybody's money I care for. So ALEXANDER HARRIS "... Remember, John,' he was saying . . . I don't approve.' . . . when we shook hands and I came away." "Through the library again?" Brennan asked. "No. Mr. Drane let me out by this door." "So you didn't: see Mr. Dart again." "No. I went down the driveway there and walked home." "You haven't any idea what it was Mr. Dart wanted Mr. Drane not to do?" "Not really." Carter said. "It may be they had been talking over Amy and me and Mr. Dart didn't care for me enough to have me marry my Mr. Drane and Dart were old friends—what they call 'ceronies' almost. Or it may have been giving Amy so much money in a lump that Dart objected to I don't know." "But your impression was that Mr. Dart referred to the talk you were about to have with Mr. Drane" Brennan asked. "That's what I thought," Carter admitted. "I hadn't any doubt of it. I thought to myself 'What business is it of his, anyway?' I don't like him much, somehow." "And now, Miss Drane," Brennan asked without a pause, "have you ever seen anything that made you think, even in the slightest degree, that your uncle was a woman?" "No," Amy said without hesitation, and immediately changed her answer to yes! "Never while he was alive," she said. "It never entered my head, not in the very slightest. But now I can see things. He was so kind to me." "Might not an uncle be kind?" I asked. "Yes, but not in that way. Affectionate is what I should say, probably. I didn't know, you see. I didn't think—how a man would be, but I can see now, Mr. Brennan, that he was more like—more like a mother in the way he—in the way he kissed me and smoothed my hair. More like a woman, more like a mother." "Have you any reason for thinking he was your mother?" Brennan asked and Amy stared at him with wide eyes. "Uncle John my mother?" she gasped and put her fingers to her lips as if in fear. "Oh, he couldn't be my mother—he—" "You knew your mother?" Brennan asked. "You see, Miss Drane, I don't know any of the facts; I have to ask for them. Did you know your mother?" Bob Carter frowned with annoyance that Amy should be anboyed. He looked at her and turned to Brennan. "I can answer that," he said. "Amy told me all that." "As she tell me," said Brennan but his tone was kindly. but his tone was kindy, "never knew my mother," Amy said. Brennan leaned forward in his chair. "I'm not digging into this from curiosity," he said. "I have plenty to do without wasting time that way; my job is to find who mis- dressed this woman who posed as John Drane. There may never have been a John Drane—"You bet your boots there was!" declared Simon Judd. "John Drane and me was chums, I tell you, when we was boys back there in Riverbank. Regular boys and no mistake, and don't you forget it, mister! You can prove that by me any time you want to." "There was a John Drane then," said Brennan. "You knew him." "And I knew him a blame long time, black my cats!" Simon Judd exclaimed. "Why look here: John Drane was born along about when I was, along towards 1853, and we chummed together, thick as thieves, for a long time. Yes, until 83—that was when he went out West. He was thirty then. All that time we hung together, me and John. Thirty years—we was born together as you might say. Sure there was a John Drane!" "I was going to ask you a few questions later," Brennan suggested. "Ex-cause me for buttin' in!" Simon Judd said with hearty good nature. "Go right ahead and I'll shut up till you want me." "I was saying Miss Drane, Brennan said," "that I am only trying to gather some details of the life of John Drane as he was known here, and matters that might have some bearing on this murder. I know nothing, you understand, and I have to ask questions. You say you did not know your mother—that means she died while you were too young to know her?" "Yes," Amy said. "You're about how old?" "I'm seventeen." "Do you know when your uncle—to call him that—came to West-cote?" "Yes, I remember hearing that. It was in 1892. He bought this house then. He said not long ago he had owned it thirty-two years." "And you were not born here?" "Oh, no!" said Amy. "I was born in California. You see, I'm uncle John's brother's son's child." "What did you say?" asked Brennan, turning to Simon Judd. "I'm not paying a word." Judd said. "Ex-encded me! I forgot my self." "But you said something," Brennan insisted. "What did you say?" "All I said," Simpson Judd said, "was which brother?" "Well, which brother was it?" Brennan asked Amy, showing the first importance he had shown. "It was Daniel" Amy said, "Daniel went to California and married Mary O'Ryan there, and they had one son—Thoman Drane, who was my father. He married Mary Gartner, but just after I was born they were drowned in a flood. Some river overflooded and they were drowned. Grandfather was dead then, too, and grandmother had died before that. So I was put in an orphanage and that was where turtle John found me. "He went to California? When was that?" "I wasn't a year old." Amy said. "It must have been in 1908. Uncle John said he had always corresponded with father and when the letters stopped he was worried. He wasn't well that year and he thought California might do him good—it was in the winter—and West for the two reasons. He wanted the warmth and he wanted to find father if he was ally. He found only me." "And he brought you East?" "No; not right away. He found a home for me there, lovely people who were always so good to me! They raised me; uncle John used to send them money for my expenses and he wrote me letter—" "You have some of the letters. They're in the same hand that this uncle John writes, or did write!" "Yes, exactly the same—a big round, hand," Amy said. "So then, when I was old enough, I was sent to a school near Pasadena. I stayed there until I finished, last year. Then uncle John had me come East. He wanted me to live with him, he said." murder. "She told me all that," Bob Carter said. "Yes; it was not a secret," Amy said. She waited for Brennan to ask his next question. "Can you tell me what that would throw any light on this murder?" be asked. "I don't think so," Amy answered. "I may think of something but it's all so horrible still." "You don't know anything cut of the way about this William Derrt."

In an affidavit filed with the commission he was charged with violating an act of 1928 of the General Assembly in that he did on or about June 5 twist certain policies of the Mutual Insurance Company of Richmond by making derogatory remarks about said company and about its policy. It will be seen then that this attempt to place an official of the Union Life Insurance Co. of Va. in an unfavorable light was frustrated and the alleged slanders could not be and were not sustained upon a hearing before the judicial body authorized to consider them.
