THE RICHMOND PLANET Virginia State Library. U.S. GRAND JURY INDICTS THEM. OFFICER WALTER B. BURROUGHS INDICTED MORE ABOUT THE PASS SCANDAL. HE IS CHARGED WITH FIRST DEGREE MURDER. CORRESPONDENCE SEIZED IN ROANOKE, VIRGINIA. Trial Set For Next Monday. The United States District Court convened Monday, October 1, 1928 in the Custom House building, with His Honor District Judge D. Lawrence Groner presiding. The sight was imposing. Clerk Joseph P. Brady smiling and happy, was enjoying the congratulations of those who knew that this was his 30th birthday in office. The colored people, who were there were especially interested in the case of Alfred Chapman, charged with defrauding the C. and O. R. R. Company for, jointly with him were others who were charged with a conspiracy with him in so doing. ABLE CHARGE TO GRAND JURY. Judge Groner's charge to the grand jury was one of the ablest deliverances ever expounded in that historic court-room, embracing as it did a keen analysis of the balancing and coordinate relationship between the Federal and State governments as exercised by the respective courts of the two governing bodies. The jury filed out and among the indictments brought in were two against Alfred Chapman and T. D. Lee, pastor of a Baptist Church in Norfolk, Va.; Rev. James S. Hatcher, pastor of an A. M. E. Church in Roanoke; William F. Denny, a noted attorney of this city and J. M. Avery, a prominent citizen. MUST PROVE CHARGES Attorney J. E. Palmore of Roanoke represented Rev. Hatcher; Attorney R. H. Talley represents Rev. T. D. Lee; and Attorney R. H. Talley, Attorney J. C. Robertson and Attorney H. M. Green represented Attorney William F. Denny. It's to be understood that these charges are allegations, which must be substantiated and proven by the United States District Attorney. The two indictments brought in were for conspiracy to defraud the C. and O. R. R. Company and the use of the United States Malls to defraud. A NORTH CAROLINIAN, TOO. Rev James S. Hatcher Rev. T. D. Lee were in the courtroom during the deliberations and later walked about the spacious aisles of the Federal building. Attorney William F. Denny did not put in an appearance, but his counsel were present to protect his interests. J. M. Avery of Durham, North Carolina did not appear, but is reported to have arrived here last Tuesday night with a party of friends. It is alleged that he was connected with the sale of annual passes at $35 each. HOW C. AND O. LOST MONEY The charge to defraud the railway company is based upon the fact that this mode of transportation is free. Many, if not all of the individuals using this transportation were schedled to go to these points at a reduced rate of fare, that instead of accounting and paying for this reduced rate at the regular ticket offices of the company, they paid $15 which amount entitled them to transportation over a mileage that should cost them $45.72. The company lost $30.72 in cash. Alfred applications were approved it was his duty to fill out the names of the applicants together with the account for which the passes were granted in and upon said pass blanks then and there in his possession and thereafter to countersign said passes after which the passes were valid in the hands of the persons to whom they were issued and enlisted them to free transportation over the lines of the said Railway in accordance with the directions contained on said passes: And it was further a part of said scheme that the said J. S. Hatcher T. D. Lee and W. F. Denny were in touch with many of the colored people in the vicinity of Richmond, Norfolk and Roanoke, Virginia, who would have reasons to desire to travel over the lines of the said Railway and who were not entitled under the regulations of said Railway and under the provisions of the Act of Congress regulating the same to receive and to travel on free passes and interstate free passes and to whom it would be the duty of the said Alfred Chapman to refuse to issue such passes; and it was further a part of said scheme that the said J. S. Hatcher, T. D. Lee and W. F. Denny would would solicit said colored people together with other colored people who might be interested in traveling on said Railway and would induce and persuade them to buy free passes and interstate free passes to be issued by the said Railway and to be paid for by them at prices less than the regular railway fare applicable for the various trips, for which said passes were to be issued: were And for the purpose of effecting the said scheme, the said T. D. Lee on or about the 20th day of July, 1928 at Norfolk, Va. in the district and invidious aforesaid did unlawfully cause to be placed in a post office of the United States, to wit, in the post office at Norfolk, Va. to be delivered by the Post Office Establishment of the United States to the person to whom it was addressed a certain letter addressed to Rev. Jas. S. Hatcher, D. D., 51 Glmer St., N. E. Roanoke. D. W., letter contained a type-written communication to the following effect: Rev. Jas. S. Hatcher, D. D., 51 Glmer Avenue N. E. Roanoke, Va. Dear Sir: Your letter to hand with Rev. Jas. S. Lee pass O. K. I am working on some more and hope to have them in your hands Monday of next week if nothing happens. There are quite a number want to go and as soon as I can get the money from them, shall forward to you. Some one asked me could you send them to Cleveland over your line? I informed them that I would write you and let them know after I have heard from you in the matter. I have not bothered with the men because they may get on the road and get their morning morning and evening evenings and up the party. so I am letting them go by uncalled for. The hand boys want to go, but I shall ask you about them, since you know that they will have to carry their horns with them and do you it will be a question by your company? I want to ask you how much would it cost me to get an annual pass on your line since I have been faithful Chapman, the railway company's pass agent got $15, which he appropriated to his own use and the indicted persons and some others not indicted got free transportation and the promise of future favors. COLORED FOLKS GOT NO MONEY There is no evidence that James S. Hatcher got any of the money. He did get its equivalent in free transportation for himself and friends. He had organized a system which was especially profitable to the white official, Alfred Chapman, during those periods when the colored folks had their fraternal and religious conventions and had secured reduced rates over the railroad. Just how much cash money Alfred Chapman got by this method will never be known. Under the law of conspiracy, all associated with him are liable to prosecution under the same indictment framed against him and can be given the same punishment. PERSONS NOT INDICTED TO TESTIFY. It is reported that those who are concerned in the purchase of the passes and who used them are being held in reserve as material witnesses against those already indicted. Should facts develop to show that any not now indicted are culpable, the grand jury can be re-convened and more indicements brought in. This is possible, but not probable. Attorney J. Thomas Newsome of Newport News was in the city Tuesday in the interest of a client to watch after this phase of the situation. INDICTMENT EXTRACTS The following are extracts from the indictment upon the charge, Using the Mulls to Defraud": In the District Court of the United States for the Eastern District of Virginia. United States vs. Alfred Chapman, J. S. Hatcher, T. D. Lee and W. F. Denny. Richmond Division, 1928 Term THE GRAND JURORS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA duly impane'd sworn and charged to inquire within and for the body of the Eastern District of Virginia and now attending the said court upon their oaths present that Alfred Chapman, J. S. Hatcher, T. D. Lee and W. F. Denny, heretotore, to wit, on or about the first day of April, 1928 at Richmond, Virginia in the Eastern District of Virginia and within the jurisdiction of this Court did devise a scheme to defraud the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company, hereinafter called the Railway by means of false and fraudulent pretenses and representations. It was a part of said scheme to defraud that the said Alfred Chapman was then an officer and employee of the said Railway. to wit was Assistant to the Vice-President thereof, and was located at Richmond, Virginia, and as such it was his duty to pass upon the applications for free passes and for interstate free passes over the railway line of the said Railway and if such RICHMOND ,VIRGIN1A, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 6 1928 Attorneys Hiram M.

Look out for me on any line you can. I remain. Very respectfully, T. D. LEE, 723 Johnson Avenue. Norfolk, Va. Another letter quoted in the indictment is as follows: Richmond, Va. July 16, 1928. Mr. A. Chapman, Passenger Dept. C. and O. Railway General Office. Richmond, Va. Dear Sir: I thank you very much if you can provide Rev. .... whose address is .... Richmond, Va. with an annual pass. Rev. .... is pastor of the .... Church and a very active Minister of that denomination and is worthy of any help that you can give him. If you can do this for him I will greatly appreciate it and I know he will be grateful to you. Thanking you in advance for this and other kindness. Yours truly. LEVI C. BROWN. As the minister in question had no knowledge of the letter, the name is left out. Alfred Chapman referred the letter evidently to Rev. Hatcher as follows: Dear Rev.: Do you know this minister? Rev. Brown called me on the phone yesterday and I told him to write me a letter. Hope you can send in several by Wednesday or Thursday. by Wednesday of Thursday. Best regards. A. C. 7—17—28 When Rev. Jas.

Kear, United States Attorney; Witnesses: B. B. Webb, M. Welsh H. E. Cassidy, W. R. Newman, L. B. Newman, W. J. Melvin H. E. Bridgers, M. H. McKeen. It is reported that Rev. Hatcher has submitted an affidavit exonerating W. F. Denny, a copy of which affidavit is in Attorney Denny's possession. It also seems that Rev. James S. Hatcher dealt directly with Chapman and the others dealt with Rev. Hatcher. The cases have been set for trial Tuesday, October 9, 1928 and upon the fate of Chapman will to some extent depend the determining of the punishment of the others alleged to be in the conspiracy with him. SHEPHERDS IN A BIG MEMBERSHIP DRIVE HERE SHEPHERDS IN A BIG MEMBERSHIP DRIVE HERE the Improved Order Shepherds and Daughters of Bethlehem launched their annual local membership drive Wednesday night, October 2, at the Shepherds' Headquarters, Sixth and Leigh Streets. The meeting was packed and bubbling over with enthusiasm. Generalissimo Amos C. Clark presented the plans and instructions to the leaders and workers and set the goal at one thousand members in three weeks of intensive campaigning. The workers are divided into red and blue divisions, headed by Deputy Susie J. Williams and Daughter Rosa Price, respectively. Each day BULLET INTENDED FOR RIVAL, A WOMAN IN THE CASE. Following an altercation with another man over a girl, according to the police Junius Irving of Bermuda the flag of the leading division will fly in front of Headquarters. At the conclusion of the drive the winning division will be feted by the losers. Grand Shepherd Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes urged the workers to put forth their best efforts and go over the quotas set. Daughter Fannie Prosser was appointed Secretary for this drive. Shepherd Walter Austin, assistant drum major of the Shepherds Band is convalescing from an attack of Pneumonia.

Kirk Mathews presiding was in session last Monday morning while the grand jury was considering a long list of cases. Among those was the killing of James Sharp by Officer William B. Burroughs. At the request of Commonwealth's Attorney Dave E. Satterfield he was relieved from prosecuting the case and Attorney Hiram M. Smith assigned to the task. The family of the deceased had employed Attorney Alfred E. Cohen to assist in the prosecution. With him is associated Attorney H. M. Green. Later the grand jury brought in an indictment for murder in the first degree, a part of which reads as follows: VIRGINIA: CITY OF RICHMOND, To-wit.

Those who ask what are the logical consequences of Christianity will find their answer in the lesson text now under study. Religion is not something that is mechanical or that can be evaluated in terms of material things. To begin with, the basis is the Triune God and Jesus said of the Father, "God is a spirit; and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth." John 4:24. Using spiritual means, according to their possibilities, you reach the Christian idealism portrayed in I Corinthians 12:13. Those who are so ready to assert that Christianity has failed should have it in mind that people have been negligent in following the materials and methods of Christianity. Now both chapters with utmost care and see something of the possi- THE BROWN'S Photographic Studio ALL OF THE LATEST AND MOST ARTISTIC PHOTOS AT MODERATE PRICES. milities in life. Some effective spiritual gifts are possessed by only a few. All do not have special wisdom and knowledge, power of working miracles or of stating prophecy. Some even speak in strange languages and others can interpret though they have never studied those languages. Such "gifts" come by the favor of the one God. Regardless of what any one possesses he should not be boastful over another. Rather all are to consider themselves as part of the body of Christ and as his boss his own essential function to perform. such each has his own. In contrast with such things, which are spectacular, there is a possession which can be common to all and the exhortation is "Desire earnestly the greater gifts." Then Paul sets forth in the great Love chapter, Corinthians XIII, a perfection in spiritual gifts which all can enter into. This chapter should be committed to memory, even as it has done. untitudes have ours. Herein we doubt that deeds in lovingkindness count above all high priesthood professions or spectacular achievements. Angel-spoken do not take the place of deeds of love. We must so act toward those we meet in the everyday life that we will be comfortable with the others to live with. It is possible of talk in the language of God and refer to *prophecies*, the *mysteries* of all knowledge but what is called for in this needy world he will walk among us as Jesus did when on earth and speak rather than deeds of love. One may even make large gifts that such may be seen of men, but what is pertinent in the Christian life is that the giver shall go on his own errands of loving-kindness and tender mercy. BE INFORMED--READ THE PLANET kindness and tender mercy. There is a patience in love that "suffereth long and is kind" and that "endureth all things". Love is not boastful and vaunting. It does not talk self up and the other fellow down. Love does not hunt for the little evil in and then take delight in broadcasting the imperfection. Before telling anything that may be against another it is well to always ask at least two questions: Is it true and will any good be accomplished by the telling? Love hopes against hope that simulating may not be so. the rumor of stumbling on the Christian life as negative, what one gives up or not do. Such omissions are only the starting point; for positive and constructive. Now read again the Love Chapter and write out the fifteen different positive qualities in love that are enumerated. Each one of these is to be wrought out in your life that there may be a symmetrical whole. W. J. JOHNSO'S SONS, EXPERIENCED MORTICIANS CONDUCT Funerals Flawlessly.

Lewis, Pastor, Residence, 316 S. Lombardy Street. Services: Sunday, 11 A. M. and 8 P. M. Cuba's 700-Mile-Long No Speed Limit Warren Bros. Company Contractors, Rushing Huge Road Task. BOSTON.—Cuba's marvelous 705-mile-long Central Highway, the largest single contract ever awarded, will be completed within three years, according to Warren Bros. Company international contractors. The road will cost $75,680,000, an average rate of $106,456 per mile. It will have no grade crossings and no limits to speed outside the settled communities. The Cuban Central Highway will run through the "backbone" of Cuba. From Pinar del Río in the West, to Havana, and on to Santiago, passing through the capitals of six provinces. The Overseeas Highway at Key West, Fla., will open the road to American motorists who follow the Dixie Highway by a six hour auto ferry to Havana. The road fulfills the dream of years of President Gerardo Machado of Cuba, Secretary of Public Works Desperades, and the Cuban people, who come from far to see the huge road equipment at work. The contract with Warren Broe Company, which comprises about five hundred miles of the highway, is, in charge of Horace W. Aash, vice-president, with W. C. McDonald in charge of construction, assisted by I. B. Stafford. In many sectors construction is going ahead night and day. The company has brought in a prodigious amount of road machinery, crushers, dredgers, barges and other equipment. Bawley Bayo and Bpliquin in the eastern part of the island four gasoline shovels disappeared for three months as they ate their way through sixty miles of solid lake. The great highway will be one of the scenic drives of the world with magnificent panoramas of rugged mountains, especially in Camagues and Oriente provinces. At one point along the route more mountains are to be seen from a turn in the hills. The climate is cool in the mountains. The foliage is magnificent. Pinar del Rio province is also superbly hilly and attractive. When the road is finished laterals will be built to the Cuban ports and coast cities, giving roads to some 188 sugar mills. The road will be paved its entire length, 20.88 feet wide with 8.64 foot shoulders on either side, total-over 80 feet. It will consist of 12 inches of crushed rock, six inches of portland cement concrete at the center and nine inches at the edges. Subscribe to T THE RICHMOND PLANET.

Mexican President's Act Brings Joy To All Users of Gasoline and Fuel Oil MEXICO'S CHIEF AND AMERICA'S EAGLE © WIDE WORLD Good news for every American gasoline or oil user comes from Mexico City, where President Calle has recognized and enlarged the rights of foreign oil companies to operate in the southern republic. Ten years ago Mexico ruled all American oil titles acquired before May 1, 1927, were limited to fifty years. American capital and the state department contended that the regulations were confiscatory. A long exchange of government notes followed. More than once relations between the two republics were at a break point. The national Lincoln dew to Mexico City. President Calle assigned a new oil law. The Mexican congress approved it, and now the southern executive has signed the measure. All American oil titles obtained before May 1, 1927, are recognized as valid forever. "United States capital thus is en- sured to develop oil lands in Mexico so as to create new sources of oil.

He is always firing, and the charges are not made up of powder either. They are spending money in Richmond on political work, but the colored brother has not seen any of it hereabouts as yet. Attorney General John W. Sargent has at last succeeded in muzzling Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt without muzzling her. He has sent out a circular hearing on this subject and covers her case exactly. Franklin D. Roosevelt has been nominated on the Democratic ticket for Governor of New York. He has a good chance of being elected although he is a semi-invalid and declined previously to accept the job for that reason. There are some people. Democrats at that who are optimistic enough to believe that Richmond. Va. will go for Hoover. When we find out how the judges of the election stand on this question, we shall be able to decide whether we agree with them or not. Governor Harry Flood Byrd says that the electoral vote of Virginia will be cast for Al Smith and Senator Cole Blease says that the electoral vote of South Carolina will be cast for the same individual. These two gentlemen should know for their respective machines do the counting after the polls close on election day. First Typewriter FIRST REMINGTON TYPEWRITE BUFFALO, N.

"Business letters, official documents, reports and legal forms were copied out laboriously in long hand by clerks perched on high stools in American offices until 1875," said Mr. Shephard.

Perfection of the noiseless typewriter, eliminating the clink and clatter of keys has been one of the most recent mile-stones in the industry. Moreover, the typewriter, still manufactured by its original makers, has been supplemented by thousands of other modern business improvements including adding machines, accounting devices, book-keeping machines, cash registers, bank ledgers, kardex filing records, and index systems, which give business speed, accuracy, and economy of operation. "Operated with the same equipment and methods of the pre-typewriter days, modern business establishments would require ten times as many employees to turn out the same volume of work."

ERIC, THE ROBOT BE POLITE TO OUAFI A HUMAN TIME CLOCK NITROGEN REPLACING GOLD An exhibition in London introduces "Eric the Robot," a man-shaped wooden and metallic machine that rises to its feet, stretches out an arm to command silence and makes a speech. The shiny, metallic man-machine its slanting yellow eyes lighted by electricity, frightens spectators. Some workers will dread the possibilities of competition by machine men. But there is no danger. When modern cloth-making machinery was first used England built, forts to protect the machinery from enraged workers, convinced that it would starve them. Those machines employed more men than ever at better wages. Every efficient new machine increases prosperity, especially that of workers, by increasing man value. With an ox team a man was worth $1 a day. With a locomotive he is worth $10. Mr. Ouafi, French Arab who bear all runners of the world in the Olympic marathon, is here. Nature, producing him, seems to have had a greyhound in mind. His legs are almost as thin as a greyhounds, and, quite tall, he weighs only 124 pounds. Ouafi is a citizen of the French Republic, and, although many sports Americans that see him run sporting it, this ancestors of ancient Arabia are ancestors whom our civilization and its science owe a great deal.

Many words that we use every day, sofa, alcohol, many terms in chemistry, come from the Arabic. Raymond S. Bluns, of Chicago, is called the human time clock. He remembers where he was, what happened every hour, every minute of the last ten years. In four months of this year, for instance, he spends 968 hours in sleep, 25 hours in church, 363 hours at meals, 48 hours on pleasure, etc. Thiz's interesting, but keeping track of time, hours and minutes, is not as important as putting something into the hours and minutes. For instance, the minute in which Thomas A. Edison decided that two messages, as well as one, might be sent over the same wire at the same time, was more important to the world than all the well regulated hours in the lives of ten thousand other men. Gold has been the unit of value since men first found strange heavy little yellow grains washed down by mountain streams, thousands of years ago. Men have struggled for gold and died weeping because they couldn't take it along, and have murdered each other for gold. Now cold science tells you, "Gold won't always be the unit of value." Nitrogen will replace it, being the foundation of our food supply, and of life.

They may be inhaled, swallowed, or may get in through scratched or incised wounds of the skin. In warm weather, when most of our houses are wide open, the danger of inhaled germs is practically nil. Pure air is a wonderful disinfectant, capable, except against the tubular germ, which should be guarded against at all seasons. Most acquired infections in summer, are the digestive tract; the batter is swallowed with food or water. We should, therefore, be discriminative at this season. Edibles taken raw, must be scrupulously clean, and thoroughly masticated. Fruits should be ripe, fresh, and free from punctures by twigs, or specks of decay. Don't give the child a banana that is green, or part-ripened, or punctured through the skin. Potato salad that is carried over from meal to meal—better throw it away, or do without the mixture entirely. See that all cooked food is thoroughly done, especially meats. It is not good policy to eat the boiled ham that you had left over from the picnic, especially if it reposed in the basket on the ground for a few hours. The same is true of cake, wrapped in newspaper and kept in the same basket. Flies haunt outdoor picsics. They love to crawl on deviled eggs, potato salads and like it. It is not pleasant to think of what they may shake off from their little feet and bodies. It goes without saying that all drinking water these days should be attested in purity, by a canable rather than a political official. A child in time saves more than nine. But putting a dulce purity into your mouth, and be careful not to overload. Jules Verne AT THE PYRAMIDS "EMPRESS OF AUSTRALIA" AT YOKOHAMA John Henry Mears and Capt. Charles B. D.

"Zippe like——; walke back a mile!" Another way to circumvigate the globe is to board a palatial steamship like the Empress of Australia, which sails from New York December 1, 1928, and devote 136 days to visiting and actually seeing the wonders of 21 countries and 26 ports on a grand tour of 29,100 miles, 9,100 miles longer than that of the mirepid Mears and Collier.

In this sensible age, you know, no one denies the appropriateness—if not the psychological neces- tions of a road over country hills when one is confined at kitchen tasks. Or perhaps the picture might be of some fragrant, old-fashioned garden, or of a child at play.

Drop half-teaspoons of batter three inches apart on an inverted pan. Bake in a slow oven until medium brown. Asparagus and Egg Salad A nice way to combine canned white asparagus and hard-boiled eggs in salad is to mold them in alternate layers in lemon gelatin. Strips of pimienta may be added if desired.

And we are immensely pleased with this little close-fitting model that molds itself so perfectly to her charming head. With the hat a shortjacket set of brown and beige checked velveten is worn, and the underbouse of beige has the new hick collar and side frill developed in a very soft, becoming way. The hat is a silky felt, of course, in the dark rose-brown shade that is so popular. We unhesitatingly recommend it as a splendid type for wear with the jacket suits of fall. Broader Brims Also Appear Among the late arrivals are also soft felts with slightly lower crowns and brims that, while they retain their short backs and fronts, broaden perceptibly at the sides. Dance Caps in Gold and Silver For dining, dancing or the theatre the very latest conceit is the snug little cap of metallic crochet woven to fit the head as tightly as a skull cap. Usually the braid pattern is swirled in great rosettes on each ear, while the balance of the cap is knitted in a straight mesh weave. Now—The Hip-Line Fur Coat It has been many seasons since we have enjoyed the chic of the short fur jacket—but today it is a Parisian piece of great importance. One hip-line model of mink, with a soft roling collar, is with a shade of olive crepe; another of gray goatskin, with Tuxedo front, is worn over a rough purple wool crepe in two tones.

Suddenly John Drane is murdered, and a Blessington examiner examines the murder, making sure that John Drane that her "uncle" is a woman who cannot a man. The detectives in the household are elderly, and it is revealed that John Drane never discharged a servant for ill health. Blessington, detective, arrives at the house and makes thorough investigations. He is acquainted with the annual John Drane with whom he (Judd) was acquainted in Riverbank. Judd proclaims that he is Blessington, and Brennan in the solution of the crime. Brennan accepts, then Judd declares that Any is not John Drane's niece or any relative. Brennan, an housekeeper, teaches from among the chronic patients at the hospital. Dr. Blessington is asked if Brennan ever noticed any special change in her. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY "As if, up to some time, he was the real John Drane and from then on was this woman playin' she was him," explained Simon Judd. "Why, since it is brought to my attention with this mystery in mind," Dr. Blessington said, "there was a time when I noticed a change in John Drane, a shocking change as I thought it. The time is pretty well fixed in my mind, too. As a matter of fact there have been two very distinct changes in this John Drane. One was when he returned from California; I hardly knew him. The other—the most shocking one—was some five months later. As a physician, coming to the house frequently, I noticed it particularly. Just before he went to California this John Drane—man or woman —was decidedly run down in health; in bad shape, I thought, although I was not asked to advise him. Then he went to California and when he returned he was like, as we say, another man. He was brisker, more cheerful, and he had put on quite a little flesh for such a thin man. He walked better and stood better. At that time his hair was dark, but he probably used a dyel. The man who went to California may not have been the woman who returned. On the other hand the change may have been wrought by rest and the warm climate. "And the other time, five months later, said Brennan. "A more striking change," the physician said. From the time Drane returned from California looking so well he began to run down again. I did make so bold as to speak to him about it and he said he knew he must do something; he said he thought he would go south, to Hot Springs, and take a long rest. A week later he went and he was gone three months. He came back with his hair absolutely gray, as it is now, his face emaciated, his body nothing but bones. It was a shocking change. Thinking Out Loud! by Samalman A New Yorker charged with making out a false-check tried to eat it in order to destroy the evi- dence against him. When he made out the check, he probably didn't think that he himself would be the goat. * * * * A pickpocket, when arrested for practicing his art, said he was only doing so in an attempt to raise the money for his bail bond. That's what we call enterprise. * * * * The Plumbers' Convention at Atlantic City has voted for a 40- hour week. Do they mean forty hours of work—or waiting for tools? * * * * Add similes: As easy as getting a ticket for the World's Series. * * * * "Silence is Giclden"—but you can't get the producers who are cashing in on sound pictures to be- lieve it. Our idea of a good guesser: The man who predicted that Jack Dempsey would win the fight in the play he is starring in on Broadway. * * * Governor Smith is out campaigning, and wears a brightly hued pair of suspenders. Let's hope this not construed as a slur to the corn belt. * * * Theatrical advertisement: "Jack Dempsey and his wife in The Big Fight!" Say it isn't so, will you? Except for one thing I might be willing to swear that, in my opinion, the person who came back from Hot Springs was not the man who went there. That thing is a scar on this woman's abdomen—the scar of an appendicitis operation. My opinion now is that she probably went there for the operation—if that was indeed where she went—in order that her sex might not be discovered by any one who knew her." "That's a possibility," Brennan admitted. She could have changed into women's clothes at some stop-over en route," the doctor said, "changing back into male garments on her return. If that is the answer she must have had a bed time of the operation to wear down so tremendously. But it is possible that the man who left here that time was not the woman-man who returned here a little later." Brennan said nothing for a full minute. "I'm afraid I don't see much in that idea, doctor," he said finally. "There's too much of the impossible in it. The person who returned from Hot Springs—if that was where the person went—was certainly very much like the person who left here as John Drane, is it not so? Enough so that you were not particularly suspicious? Then how could a substitution have been made? Who was this woman who was so much like John Drane that she could come back here and take his place in the house and at his office and in Wall Street, going on with his speculations without creating question? The thing is rather absurd. Such a woman must have planned taking John Drane's place for years; she must have learned all about his business to the minutest details, and all about his home affairs here. She must have planned to murder him or make away with him somehow. It is to improbable, doctor." "You asked me, you know," said Dr. Blessington, a little offended. Dr. Blessington, a little offended. "And your answer is perfectly good," said Brennan. "Now let me ask you another: did you ever notice anything to make you think this woman was insane? I mean the victim of a mama. What do you think of her idea of having sick servants and no others? What about her friendship with this undertaker?" Dr. Blessington turned these questions in his mind before he answered. "You understand that I am not an alienist," he said then, choosing his words with some care. "I am only what is called a general practitioner. As one of the hospital staff I have sometimes recommended to Drane, at his request, chronic patients still able to do easy work, and it never occurred to me that there was insanity in his desire to aid the unfortunate. To tell you the truth, Brennan, I STRICTLY Confidential by Vera Lovesick Dear Miss Vera I am a young man of 22 and I am deeply in love with a lady of 22. This lady has been married before but is now divorced. She still keeps house for her former husband. I told her I love her dearly. She says she feels sorry for me, but her heart is broken and dead to love. Will you please advise me what to do? I can't seem to find another girl as I am girl shy. I do want a sweetheart, am always yearning for a sweetheart and I am starring for love. Please help me how to find true love. I am proud to be man of 22 to love a divorce of 22? Please advise me, as I am loughick. ★ ★ ★ Dear M. C. M., a woman such as you describe, why has had ill fortune, will respond readily to tenderness and love. Make a friend of her rather than constantly telling her of your affection, and she may come to care for you in time. It is perfectly proper for you to love her—why not? but when you start writing about your desire to find another girl right after telling me of your deep love for her, I begin to suspect that it is Love that you love, and not this particular lady. If so, if you simply want a sweetheart and don't care much who this sweetheart may be, why torment this lady who has evidently many troubles? It is not very pretty to make someone sorry for you. It ought to be easy for you to 亦 thought it was fine of him to give these people jobs in his house. Even when they fell ill he saw that they had the best attention, medical and otherwise. When they died—" "A good many did die, did they?" asked Brennan, and Dr. Blessington colored. "You will remember that they were mostly people doomed to die," he said stiffly. "They had many of them—most of them—incurable diseases." "But they did die," Brennan insisted. "What I mean is this, doctor: this woman known as John Drane had great wealth, if she wanted to help these incurables she could have sent them to sanitariums and she could never have missed the money. She seems to have liked to have the sickly, the dying, and the undertaker clustered about her. I'd call that morbid wouldn't you?" "Yes, I might call it morbid." Dr. Blessing admitted. "I wouldn't say it meant she was crazy." "Well, I don't know that it makes such a difference whether she was crazy or not; she has been murdered just the same, sane or insane," Brennan said. "I'm just trying to get a clear picture of her in my mind. That's all now, doctor; I can get in touch with you if anything else turns up." The doctor opened the door leading into the hall, but Simon Judd held him with a question. "Say, doc," he said, "how long have you known this John Drane, anyway?" Dr. Blessington pulled at his chin, trying to place an exact date. "He came here, I believe, in 1893," he said. "It may have been 92 or 94." I met him first that same year when I called on him for a gift to our hospital. I know that I hoped he might make use of my services if he needed a physician, but I was not called in until two years later—say in 1895. I've been the family physician since then. "And along back there in '93 and '96 he was just about the same feller he looks as he lies up there on the bed!" Simon Judd asked. "Yes," said the Doctor snowly. "Yes, increasing age and illness taken into consideration." "You don't mean to say!" Simon Judd exclaimed. "Well, black my cats! And I dare say it was along about when he called you in that he begun to gather these sickly hired helps around him, huth?" "Yes, I think that is so." Dr. Blessington said. That is so." "And when, doc" Simon Judd asked cheerfully, "was the time when he murdered the first of these sticky hired hands of his?" Continued Next Week meet lots of nice girls. Just be social. Visit your friends often, join clubs, etc., and the right girl will come along before you know it. Don't sit around and mope and think about how lovesick you are. That attitude will never bring you the divine creature you are longing for! the Judge's Josh The maid had been surreptitiously using the bath tub of her er player, an elderly Bishop.

Although the rain was threatening the congregation did not allow it to keep them from the church. Our pastor was at his best, and to many of us he preached as never before. He discussed the subject. "Jesus Our SinBearer." When Dr. Williams took his seat it was not many dry eyes in the church, and it was a consensus of opinion that it was the greatest sermon ever heard on that subject. We were pleased to see in our congregation many friends from the western part of the city. We hope our friends will come again. You will always find the Fourth Baptist Church a Church of welcome. At night there was not much change in the weather from in the morning but our pastor had promised to preach a special sermon, therefore the congregation at night almost equalled that of the morning service. This Sunday, the pastor's subject at 11:30 will be, "The Right State of the Heart." 8 P. M., "The Pride, the Lamb's Wife."
