TIME KEE
(Special by John Mitchell, Jr.)
The simple announcement in the Richmond Times-Dispatch of Monday November 26th that "an unidentified Negro, who is believed to have fallen while attempting to board a moving excursion train at Broad Street Station yesterday, is at the Retreat for the Sick Hospital in a serious condition," was seen by the man's wife at their home, 732 N. Fourth Street and led to a hurried telephone call to the above specified hospital, where the announcement was made that the man had died that morning.
A COSTLY VISIT. ..
The story as told is as follows: Richard Frederick Washington Gray and his brother William Joseph Gray reside at 732 N. Fourth Street with their families. An excursion from Philadelphia arrived here Sunday morning, November 25, 1928 and on it came Mrs. Mary S. Moses, mother of the two men specified. She spent most of the day with them at their home. The train left at 4 P. M. Sunday and the two sons with Mrs. Alice Mosby Gray, wife of the unfortunate man went to the Broad Street station to see Mrs. Moses off.
... WENT IN TO HELP.
They went through the gate in the rush to help their mother on the train, leaving home at about 3:15 P. M. The two sons went aboard the train and in their joy, being in the center of the car delayed and after the conductor had called "all aboard," when they reached the plat form the vestibule doors had been shut. One of these was opened and William J. Gray succeeded in getting off before the train had gotten out of the station. His brother was not so fortunate.
WAITED ALL NIGHT.
Richard's wife wanted to know about her husband, but William consoled her with the statement that if he had been carried to Ashkand the next station he would come on home and they went on to the residence expecting Richard to put in his appearance. Dur n<sub>2</sub> the night, they were expecting him but he never came. In the meantime two white railroad employees found the breathing, but unconscious body of Richard and carried him to the Hospital.
THE MOTHER DID NOT KNOW.
Enquiry had been made on the train about him, but Mrs. Moses did not suspect that the dying man being asked about was her son at though she knew that he had delayed getting off the train. She has been a resident of Philadelphia for about thirty years. Mrs. Richard Gray's brother, Willie Mosby lives at 2341 Van Pelt Street. Philadelphia and it was this address that was found on the person of the badly injured man. His clothes, which were made in New York had the letters R. G. on them.
A HOTEL WAITER HERE.
Richard was employed as a waiter in the Hotel Richmond here. He had a wife and one child. Funeral Director A. D. Price. Jr. took charge or the remains. A singular angle was given to the affair by the murder of Arthur E. Trainer in his
dry goods store at 101 S. Allen Avenue by parties unknown. Nothing was stolen and it was intimated that the man found might have been the one, who was attempting to board this excursion train to make his escape. This view of the situation was exploded when the man was identified as Richard Gray and he was attempting to get on the train to remain here and not making any effort to get on the train to go away from here.
THE HOSPITAL RECORD. . .
Gray was received at the Retreat at 5 P. M. Sunday, an hour after the Philadelphia excursion train pulled out of the station and he died Monday morning at 2:45. Friends were constantly arriving at the residence to sympathize with the mourners.
FAMILY WROUGHT UP.
The family was much wrought up over the publication linking Richard Gray's name with the killing of the white merchant Trainer. Investigation showed that Richard Gray left home early Saturday afternoon due to his having to serve a special party Saturday night. The time he left was 4:45. He was due to go on duty at Hotel Richmond at 6 P. M. The timekeeper's record at the hotel shows that he punched out Sunday morning at 1:35 o'clock.
HEAD WOUND CAUSED DEATH.
Trainer was killed while Richard Gray was on duty and working at Hotel Richmond. The body was laid out in a handsome puscket with an electric light setting. The wound which caused his death was in his head, but no sign of the injury was visible to the host of friends, who came to view it.
NOTHER RETURNS FOR FUNERAL
Mrs. Mary S. Moses, mother of Richard Gray returned to this city to attend the funeral of her son which funeral took place Thursday 9:30 P. M. from 152 N. Fourth St. She arrived in Philadelphia Sunday night about 11 o'clock but had heard rumors and did not know definitely of the happening to her son until Monday morning. She said the train was running slowly and stopped for a while, presumably to another train pass. ..

A NEGRO HERO
Mayor Walker Pays Glowing Tribute
Saves Twenty White People's Lives.
Great Reception Tendered in New York City
A Real Hero
0
Lionel Licorisch, colored seamen of the ill-fated Vestris, proved to be an outstanding hero in the great tragedy. He had charge of Lifeboat 14 and thrus his courage a score of lives were saved.
Lionel Licor sh. Barbadoes Negro quartermaster of the Vestris, who rescued twenty persons after the ship foundered, was guasor of honor at a reception at the City Hall yesterday. After being passed by Mayor Walker United States, Attorney Tuttle, Nathan Stains, and James Weldon Johnson secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Licorish said in brief address that his accession had been prompted by a sense of duty.
Members of the clergy and Negro residents of the city attended the reception. Throughout, until he finished his own speech. Licor sh.'s demeanor was modest and grave. As he closed his remarks with a boy's declaration that "the Americans treat me so nice that I hope I never get out of sight of them," he laughed quickly. The roomful of people aplauded vigorously and laughed in response.
Mayor Walker dwelt on tolerance in his address saying at one point: "When you left that ship and reached out your hands to save some one else's life, it is fair and reasonable to suppose that no one asked
you what race you belonged to—no one asked you where you were born and no one was interested in your Color. They were mighty glad to have your arms around them and they were mighty glad to accept the assistance you brought them. . . "That was all right out there in the raging waters. That was fine when the ship was going down. But I am rather inclined to believe that if we did a little more while the ship was sailing safely, along the same line, if we had the same willingness to accept assistance and the same absence of discrimination, even this would be a greater country than it is today."

MORTGAGE BURNING AT THE
PROVIDENCE BAPTIST CHURCH
A Mortgage Burning Jubilee was held at the Providence Baptist Church, Hanover County, Va., Rev. William H. Stevenson, pastor, November throughthe 8th. All of the Curches of the vicinity were invited to participate in this program and they all responded in a most helpful way.
Perhaps this occasion was the most joyous in the history of the church largely because after having struggled to remodel the church which has been most excellently done, and because the work has been accepted by the members and frends of the county as a blessing not only for themselves, but for incoming generations. To have made a debt of $2,500 in remodelling their church and to have paid it off in three years time, they thought it befitting to stop and return thanks to Almighty God for blessing them to finish the work, pay the debt, and burn the mortgage.
The church is foud in its praises for the excellent services of their pastor for these twenty five years. The Jubilee was closed with an elaborate supper in honor of the pastor, to which many of his associates in the ministry were invited and a large number attended.
Rev. and Mrs. Stevenson wish to hereby thank the many members and friends who contributed gifts to them on this occasion: namely: Mrs Rosa Lee Abrams. Ann Louse Cash, Bessie Cash. Cade Cash, Ella Hewlett. Cindertilla Gwathney, Henry Cash. William Jackson. Pearl Jackson Abram Henry. Patsy Lawrence. Mr. and Mrs. James Cash.
WHITE MERCHANT MURDERED:
Arthur Trainer, a white merchant, age 60 years was found dead in his dry goods store late Saturday night, 24th inst. at 101 South Allen Ave. rue. His head had been crushed by repeated blows from some blunt weapon. Nothing had been d sturbed and fifty dollars in cash were found in the place.
All efforts to trace the crime to colored persons have failed up to this time. No one is known to have had a grudge against him and the detectives are puzzled. Photographs have been made of the hand prints on the door, but to find the person whose hand will correspond to the handprints is the puzzle.

Trapping of furs during the '28-29 season will prove immensely profitable for trappers, farmers and others engaged in this activity because of the big demand for practically all kinds of American raw furs, according to the U.S. Shubert, Inc. of Chicago, the largest house in the world dealing exclusively in American raw furs.
"American furs are more fashionable than ever." Mr. Omo declared, "and we anticipate an excellent year. Last season the raw stocks are about exhausted, with the exception of muskrat, yet a brisk demand exists for the freshly caught muskrat as well as other raw furs—mink, skunk, wolf, coon, opossum, otter, lynx, marsh. It is especially true in the Chicago market, which today is the raw fur metropolis of the world, annually paying in millions of dollars for their collections.
"Chicago is the local American law fur market, because of its geographical location and its industrial leadership, and because of the important fact that trappers shipping to this mart are the best paid trappers in the world. Trapping of furs this year will be a more lucrative occupation. Not only is the American market dependent upon the trappers for furs, but European centers, as well, are making heavy inroads upon our stocks. The outlook for the coming season is most encouraging to the man or boy who can devote some time to the trap line."
In recent years Chicago has risen to new industrial heights, not the least of which has been a topmost run in the list of American raw fur markets. Prices at the receiving end are most attractive to shipers, and the fact that the largest house in

the world dealing exclusively in American raw furs is located in the great Illinois city has done much to gain its rating as a fur market. A. B. Shubert, Inc., supplies the entire world with American raw furs, having been established back in 1881. Raw furs bring an annual income of more than $100,000,000 to trappers throughout the United States and Canada, according to statistics on the subject, and a goodly share of the vast sum is paid in the Chicago market. "Ship to Chicago" long has been a slogan of trappers, and each year finds the number of shipments to the city by the lake on the uprise. They find that long established raw fur receivers are the best concerns with which to do business.

SATURDAY..DECEMBER 1, 1928
A LEADER'S VALEDICTORY
Benjamin J. Davis of Atlanta is a picturesque character. He reminds us of Coulon William (Bill) A. Pledger, who for so many years dominated political affairs in that State. He was a fitting and worthy successor to the late lamented Henry Lincoln Johnson, whose political pupil he was. He never possessed though the political sagacity of the latter, but in oratorical ability, he was h's equal if not his superior. His "Open Letter to Whom It May Concern' has affected us deeply and he's entitled to a hearing through out this Republic.
out this election.
Ben Davis is pre-eminently a fighter. He has the tenacity of a bull and the courage of an African lion. Here is how he goes about his task of dissociating himself from the political leadership of the Republican Party of Georgia. He says:
"In view of the political conditions affecting my group in this country and my relations to the Republican Party, I feel it my duty to make an explanation to the public with reference to the National Committee-manhip from Georgia.
"First, I am, and was, the choice of the Republicans of Georgia, expressed in open convention, to succeed myself as National Committeeman at Kansas City, Missouri June 12, 1928, and the delegates from Georgia were so instructed to vote for me as such.
"Second. I was unanimously elected in my State, without opposition, and the delegates were instructed to cast their votes for me."
It is needless to discuss how and why these delegates disobeyed these instructions. They could not wth stand the pressure. He continues:
"Third. A bunch of delegates repudiated their instructions and defeated the State of representation on the National Committee. Hence Georgia is without representation on the Republican National Committee.
"Fourth. The National Committee is the highest authority of the Republican Party in the country when the National Convention is not in session, which meets once every four years. During the interim it has charge of party affairs."
"Fifth. In case or vacancies. It devolves upon the Republican State Central Committee of the State or territory, in which the vacancy occurs to nominate a person or persons to fill the vacancy subject to approval by the Full Committee, or recognition by the proper authority until the Committee shall confirm the nomination of a State.
"Sixth. The National Committeemanship is a position that pays no salary, and the incumbent is required to meet his own expenses I matters not how large or how small and under the law, he is not permitted to solitic funds or accept funds from any person as a consideration for appointment, or contribution for his personal services; hence only those who are wealthy and can afford to spend five or six thousand dollars per annum for the honor of serving their party can aford to accept the place.
"Seventh. There is no way, then for a National Committeeman, or woman, to receive remuneration for services unless they graft, and if they graft in violation of the plain statutes, which prohibit them from soliciting, or receiving by gift or otherwise any money, or thing of value for services they may expect to take the consequences. I have no desire to violate any law of my country and being unable to finance myself, in accordance with the dignity of the position. I do not ask the Comm'tree for the nomination."
This tells the whole story of just how he was throttled. He was denied the right to secure funds to meet the legitimate expenses for the services he was rendering. The white men, who succeed him will find a way to get the money and absolutely nothing will be said about it. Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt will be absolutely deaf and stone blind as to the proceedings. And again:
"I have no fear of reorganization as is being agitated by lily whites and some few Federal officeholders for the reason, we are regular. We
have had our experience with bottlers and disorganizers. Yes, we were organized in the interest of a white man's party in 1921, and we put the irregulars out of business and have been in charge since. We have an abiding faith in the integrity and regularity of the President-Elect, and believe that the Organization will control the patronage. If any abortive action is taken to the contrary, we will be able to lick the bottlers, lily whites, or meddlesome Federal officeholders, as we did in 1924 at Coveand."
Ben Davis evidently knows what he is talking about.
"Twenth. I am firmly of the belief that if any colored man accepts the nomination for National Committee man for Georgia, and he is recognized, as he would be, by the National Committee he would be frame t discredited, and sent to the penitentiary, just as Perry Howard has been framed in Mississippi and Cohen in Louisiana. if perjury could do it. Of course, Cohen was acquitted; and Perry Howard has not been tried, but doubly indicted." Evidently he sees a storm rising should he continue his opposition. 'Slap jack' indictments are in store for him or for any other citizen of color, who sees fit to display the elements of true manhood. And yet again:
"Twelfth. Under all circumstances I am going to do what I consciously feel is for the best interests of the Party, and in taking this action, it is not purely selfish to save myself from threatened danger, but in my humble judgment I think it will help the Party. I am a Republican and will ever remain so, long as it stands for the principles and policies that have characterized its existence since 1856. The white yths, and nobody else can put me out of the party.
"I will take my place humbly among the ranks and do whatever I can to defend the rights of my people, who are sinned, proscribed and discriminated against."
This is a note of defiance. Still he has been forced to surrender, but he still wears his accoutrements of warfare and notifies his constituents that he will take his place in the ranks with them. This is his conclusion:
"The election having been held. I think it is time for a settlement and I am no longer an applicant, and return to my constituents, unsullied, the banners they placed in my hands in 1925."
Our hat is off to Benjamin F. Davis of Georgia. It may be that when the smoke of battle has cleared away so that he can see "the whites of the eyes" of his enem' es, he will come again. Selah.

High Lights in Burroughs' Case Here
Instructions
(1)
Every homicide in Virginia in the absence of other evidence, is presumed to be murder in the second degree, and in order to elevate the offense to murder in the first degree, the burden of proof is upon the Commonwealth and in order to reduce the offense to manslaughter, or to show justification or excuse, the burden is upon the accused to introduce evidence to show extenuating circumstances, or justification, unless it appears from the evidence of the Commonwealth.
(2)
The Court instructs the jury that malice in law may be inferred from the use of a deadly weapon.
(3)
The Court further instructs you that to constitute a willful, deliberate and premeditated killing, it is not necessary that the intention to kill should exist any particular length of time prior to the actual killing; it is only necessary that such intention should come into existence for the first time at the time of such killing.
(4)
The Court instructs the jury that the law of self-defense is the law of necessity and the necessity relied upon to justify a killing must not arise out of the prisoner's own misconduct.
(6)
The Court instructs the jury that if they believe from the evidence that W. B. Burroughs, the accused killed Sharpe under a reasonable belief that his own life was in danger and that such danger was imminent or that he was in danger of serious bodily harm, as the facts and circumstances reasonably appeared to him at the time, he was excusable in so doing, although such danger was unreal. The question for the jury in its case was not whether unrestricted of the life of Sharpe, which have been safely avoided, but whether the accused under the circumstances might reasonably have believed and did believe it was necessary to shoot it did resulting in the death of Sharpe, in order to save his own life or avoid serious bodily harm; then and in that event the jury should find the accused not guilty. The jurors are instructed that if they believe from the evidence that the accused started firing at the deceased in self-defense, then they are further instructed that the accused had right to continue to shoot at the deceased as long as it is his standpoint that he was not still danger of losing life or suffering serious bodily harm at the hands of the deceased. The accused is to be judged by the circumstances and conditions as they reasonably appeared to him at the time.
(6)
It was not necessary that such danger did in fact continue to exist, provided I believe from all the evidence that it reasonably appeared to be defendant from his standpoint that such danger continued to exist. (7)
The Court instructs the jury that if they believe from the evidence that the accused was discharging what he reasonably believed to be a lawful duty and engaged in a lawful act, he did not retreat, but may repel force if needed he to the extent of making his adversary. This is justification a defense.
(8)
In this connection, the Court tells you that if they believe from the evidence that Officer Burroughs approached James Sharp for the purporting him and informing him that he was a police officer then of the said James Sharp to submit to the officer even bad commit- and the officer had no just reason for arresting him as a
(9)
The Court instructs the jury that an officer in the performance of his duty as such stands on an entirely different footing from an individual.

This is the law.
(2)
This is the law.
(3) This is the law.
(4)
This is the law. Did the alleged necessity to kill James Sharp arise out of the prisoner's (W. B. Burroughs)' own misconduct? By his own sworn testimony, stenographically reported it did. Legally, he could not get on James Sharp's premises without violating Article 1. Section 10 of the Constitution of Virginia. This was misconduct on his part. He had neither a general warrant nor a search warrant. He wore citizen's clothes and he did not display his badge. Section 23 of the State Prohibition Act roads:
23. WHEN OFFICERS MAY BREAK AND ENTER HOUSES
'If any house, building, boat car or other place as in herein before mentioned, the sale, offering, storing or exposing for sale of ardent spirits is carried on clandestinely, or in such manner that the person or persons engaged therein cannot be seen or identified by the officer or officers charged with the execution of a warrant, under any section of this act any such officer may, whenever it is necessary for the arrest or identification of the person or persons offending, or or selzing such ardent spirits, break open and enter such house, building, boat, car or place, or any room or part of any of them.' (Code Section 4619; Id. Section 29.)
(5)
This is the law, but it is applicable to a legal arrest made elsewhere than in a citizen's own home, where a citizen is surrounded by the guarantees of the Constitution of Virginia and those of the Constitution of the United States, which entitle him to protection in his life, liberty and pursuit of happiness "with none to molest him or make him afraid." Hs. and G. and M. p. 55 says "if the party slaying made the first assault he must quit the combat and retreat as far as he safely can."
"Nothing herein contained shall be construed to permit the issuance of general warrants whereby an officer may be commanded to search suspected places without evidence of a fact committed, or to seize any person or persons not named or whose offense is not particularly described and supported by evidence." (Code Section 4612: 1916 p. 215; 1918 p. 577. Section 22)
(6)
This is the law.
(7)
This is the law.
(8)
This is the law. See Article 1
Section 10 and H's G. and M. p.
95.
This's the law. It is also the law that a citizen who has committed no crime and who has not been suspected of having done so by any evidence present or implied and who is resting quietly after night-fall and after a day of honest toll as such stands on an entirely different footing from an individual who has habitually violated the law.... Section 17. "It shall be unlawful for any person knowingly to resist, impede, or obstruct, or in any manner to hinder or delay any legal officer having in his hands any search warrant, issued by any officer of this State having the right to issue the same, under the provisions of this act, in the execution of such warrant. Any person so resisting, impeding, obstructing, or in any way hindering or delaying any officer in the execution of a legal search warrant in his hands shall be guilty of a misdemeanor." (Code Section 4614 id. Section 23 12.2.)
---
He is a minister of justice and is therefore entitled to the peculiar protection of the law and the respect of citizens as such.
(11)
The Court instructs the jury that in order to convict the accused as charged in the indictment, the evidence must not only be consistent with the guilt of the accused, but it must be inconsistent with every reasonable hypothesis of the innocence of the accused, and if said evidence is consistent with any reasonable hypothesis of his innocence, then they must find him not guilty.
(12)
No amount of suspicion of guilt, however grave or strong, is sufficient to find a verdict. Nor is it sufficient that the evidence shows a preponderance in favor of guilt, the burden being upon the Commonwealth to prove every necessary element of the crime charged beyond a reasonable doubt—and if after consideration of all the facts and circumstances in this case, you have a reasonable doubt as to any of these matters, it is your duty to give the accused the benefit of such doubt and quit him.
(13)
The Court instructs the jury that in order to call the accused to an acquittal on the ground of self-defense, the accused is required to sustain his plea of self-defense only to the point that the evidence in support of it when considered along with the other evidence in the case raises in the minds of the jury a reasonable doubt of his guilt.

James Sharp, a respectable, hard working colored man was killed by Officer Walter B. Burroughs in his (Sharp's) own home August 3, 1928.
Sharp had committed no crime and Burroughs had no warrant for his arrest or warrant to search his premises.
Burroughs was chasing boys (juveniles) who are under the Juvenile Department of Virginia and subject to trial for offenses only in the Juvenile Court here, presided over by Judge J. Hoge Ricks. These boys had committed no crime. They were seen loitering on a corner and when spoken to ran from the officers.
Burroughs mistook James Sharp, a man fifty years of age for a boy, William Branch and he killed Sharp. He admitted he beat him with a blackjack and shot him three times inside of Sharp's own house, the length of a room from the entrance.
Burroughs was in citizen's clothes. He did not display his badge of authority and he did not read a warrant to James Sharp. It was too dark to see a badge and he had no warrant with him to read.
What do the liberal minded white citizens think of this happen ing and what will they do about it?
(H's. G. and M. p. 95)
Before killing, the accused must have retreated as far as he conveniently and safely can, in order to avoid the assault, and that not to invite a continuance of the assault, but from a real tenderness of shedding human blood. But in his own house one need not retreat, but the assault, as in other cases, must be immediately dangerous. If the party slaying made the first assault, he must quit the combat and retreat as far as he safely can. Otherwise no necessity will make the killing excusable, even though retreat is made impossible by the adversary's fierceness. He cannot allege a necessity, which he himself wrongfully occasioned.

This is the law that did not go to the jury in the Walter B. Burroughs' case, the accused being charged with killing James Sharp after he had invaded his home in search of a juvenile, who admittedly had committed no crime and for whom he had no warrant, and in a house, for which he had no search warrant. Burroughs was acquitted.
"Equality and Rights of Men: That all men are by nature equally tree and independent, and have certain inherent rights, of which, when they enter into a state of society, they cannot by any compact, deprive or divest their posterity; namely, the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the means of acquiring and possessing property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety.
The above is an extract from the Bill of Rights, Constitution Virginia and not from the Amendments in the Constitution of the United States. It was not read to the jury in the Burrough's case, concluded Wednesday hight, October 24, 1928 with a verdict of acquittal.

This is the law and it might be added that W. B. Burroughs, according to his own statement was a minister of injustice and by his own illegal act was not entitled to the peculiar protection of the law and the respect of citizens as such. But this was a question for the jury to decide and it was decided in the light of the information before them.
This is the law. W. B. Burroughs statement, stenographically reported will clear up this phase of the situation. The specific provisions of the State Prohibition Law settle it. Here it is:
"If there be no complaint on oath that ardont spirits are being manufactured, sold, kept, stored or in any manner held, used or concealed in a particular house or other place, in violation of the law, the justice of peace, police/justice, circuit or city judge and mayor of any city or town to whom complaint is made, is insified that there is reasonable cause for such belief shall issue a warrant for such house or other place, the property of a public service corporation such warrant shall describe with reasonable certainty the baggage, container or package to be searched.
"If any person shall knowingly and wilfully make any false complaint under this section, he shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and fined not less than $50 nor more than $500 for each offense.
This is the law. The preponderance or evidence was overwhelmingly against Burroughs, not being even supported by the testimony of his Brother Officers, for they were not present at the time of the tragedy.

This is the law.
ARREST BY OFFICERS, WITHOUT WARRANT.
By Section 4789. "It shall be the duty of every conservator of the peace to arrest without a warrant for felonies committed in his presence, or upon a reasonable suspicion of felony and for breaches of the peace and all misdeanors of what ever character committed in his presence."

ADAMS AND BROAD
Increasing numbers tour around the Wonder Sea, the Mediterranean, every year and cover much of the itinerary that Paul followed when he was taken as a prisoner from Caesarea to Rome. Read the entire log of the journey beginning with Acts 27 as written by Dr. Luke who was with Paul all the way. Follow the lines of travel with your map. You will zigzag to the coast of Asia Minor and then along the lower side of Crete. There the captain was deceived when the "south wind blew softly" and set sail against the advice of Paul, whose judgment as an experienced traveler was worth while. Then the real excitement began and thrills were had for fourteen days after the Eraquillo was encountered.
Landing was made on the mainland at Puteoli, in sight of modern Naples. The distance to Rome was about 80 miles and fellow Christians came out to meet Paul when he reached the Market of Appius, about 43 miles from the city. Still others were at the Three Taverns and when the voyager saw them "He thanked God and took courage."
Surely the centurion in charge gave a good account of the conduct of his prisoner since leaving Caesarea. The captain could verify much and gave full credit to Paul's part in caring for all on board. Here was a man to be trusted. Permission was given for him to dwell in his own hired house though he must be constantly chained to some guard in turn. His heart and tongue were not bound thereby and he could proclaim his mission to all who would listen. No hour when on guard could have been dull for any of the soldiers, for Paul's experiences in travel must have made any conversation interesting. His earnestness and sincerity in speaking of Jesus Christ must have won fullest respect.
After a lapse of only three days Paul sent for the Jews who were living in Rome. These men had been banished under Claudius (Acts 18:2) but were permitted to return under Nero. The story of recent years was presented. They expressed general ignorance concerning these facts but asked for a special audience. Then a "great number" assembled for a conference which lasted from morning until night. Similar results were met as when on his three missionary journeys. Some believed in the teachings and others held to their traditions and did not recognize in Jesus Christ their long promised Messiah. In reply Isaiah 6:9-10 was quoted against them and announcement made that now he would give his further attention to the Gentiles in whose behalf he had been commissioned long ago at Damascus.
Another period of two years was spent in this first Roman imprisonment. During that time four wonderful epistles were written—Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians and Philemon. In When Rome four years ago the writer read with increased interest these four letters which Paul sent forth at the time. Each one was to a Christian group established on one of his major journeys. He kept living the declaration in his letter to the Romans when in Corinth: "I am not ashamed of the gospel for is in the power of

WHEAT-A WORLD COMMODITY MEETS WORLD COMPETITION
WASHINGTON. D. C. C.-Roumania farmers and millers are clamoring for a grain futures market. They say it will save them money. Portland, Ore., and Vancouver, B. C., are launching grain exchanges for greater marketing economy. A silk futures market has been opened in New York, and plans are going forward for a crude oil exchange. Hamburg recently opened a grain futures market at the request of farmers and other man grain interests. John Keckey, president of the Southeastern co-operative wheat pool, has joined the Chicago Board of Trade the largest grain futures market. In a word, futures banking based on the economical method of the grain exchange system, is expanding throughout the world.
The situation presents a curious paradox. Leading economists and business men and untold numbers of practical farmers give proof of the value of futures trading to producer and consumer. Yet a small group of politicians and self-appointed farm leaders continue their attack of Futures exchanges and the Populists who radical groups for years hampered the railroads and other institutions and blocked progress.
Right now the cry is being raised
and not without justification, that

stricted to a point harmful to farmer and consumer alike. The investment element that customarily carries the burden when the crop is marketed has in a large measure been driven from the grain market. Some authorities say prices for grain, despite the huge crop, would be higher save for restrictions in effect, and agitation by politicians for further anti-futures laws.
Despite these rigid restrictions of the Grain Futures Act, which gives the government supervision of exchanges, the so-called Capper-Dickinson bill hangs like a cloud over the resource consuming uneasiness and tending to discover investment and speculation which make a liquid futures market with the heading ta-

sea music comes as naturally to the sea, as all pilgrims to a mother, and because its splishs so infectious. It comes naturally because the sea chancy lightens the sailor's work and because from the very beginning of navigation it has fostered teamwork and good feeling among seamen. But the sailor chancies passed away with the sailing ships. They were the seamen's working choruses whose utility declined when steam crowded the canvas-driven craft from the sea. There still remains a great and largely ungathered treasure of sea music which today is remembered only by grazed sailors of clipper ship days. But as these ods salts are bothered by failing memories, the and the words they can still remember must be recorded soon if they are to be preserved for the future. This constitutes the real significance of the oceanic voyage.

cultures farmers desire. The extreme measure has been referred to as the death knell of futures markets. That may be an exaggeration. But the powers it would invest in the secretary of agriculture are regarded as an amazing departure. A market could not even make a rule of regulation or a change without first having approval of the secretary of agriculture. A one-man power would be complete. That is just one feature of a revolutionary measure. Farmers' organizations, bankers, business groups, and others are expected to vigorously combat the proposed unlawful law. In the meantime the markets probably will be disturbed to the disadvantage of hedging for cities so valuable to the farmers.

During these four days will onearad the finest music inspired by the sea from the time of the Vilhaug down to the present day. The programs, arranged by David Eustace Key, by Captain Canada's major music festivals, will recapture the full flavor of the chanties which having passed their youth in sailing ships of the seven seas, now find a haven for their old age in concert halls and schoolrooms. Two groups of senses will be presented in stage settings—the Order of Good Cheer, in a young old French chantress, and hired by Dr. Heather Wilson of the Toronto Choir, in the Sea, introducing meed deep water chantices arranged and cooled by Capt. Frederick William Willis.
Distinguished singers, fine instrumentalists and well-trained choirs will appear at the nightly concert in the Vancouver hotel. The singers include John Goss, famous English baritone; Jeanne Dussau-Cedda's great lyric soprano law of Chicago Opera; Bobbitt, famous Ottawa sea-songs; Marion Copp, rich young contralto of Vancouver; Fon Bal, Danish baritone with a repertoire of Viking songs and Ursus Paquim, French-Canadian music with songs of the voyageurs of Newfoundland. Others are the Hart House Quartet, Canada's most famous group of instrumentalists; the Vancouver Orchestra; the Filippino Orchestra of the liner Empress of Russia; the North Vancouver Society, an active group organized by the Eibel Bassin—a choir of 20 voices and a choir of Vancouver children.

GOOD SOUP, GOOD SERVICE.
WHAT {S A RICH MAN?
CAPTAIN OF YOUR SOUL.
NO SOCRATIC METHODS.
Chiefs of many hotels competed
in New York to see_which could
anake the best soup. Six wise men,
including Clarence H. Mackay’s
French chef, Combes, allotted first
prize to E. Alliott.
‘That cng ‘means more to
human welfare than the average
man realizes; more, for instance,
than any Olympic competition.
Soups contain vitamines and
other valuable nourishment and
stimulate the flow of sactine

and sell a great deal of it is to
render public service.
Income tax returns show 283
Americans with net incomes of

There are several billionaires in
existence that modestly refrain
from talking about it.
Many a young person has
spouted:
“Tt matters not how strait the gate,
How caret with punishment
the scroll,
Iam the master of my fate,
Tam the captain of my souk”
The Reverend E. H. Emmett,
Congregationalist, says those who
talk about being’ “captain of my
soul” are only “whistling loudly in
the dark,” making “an outward
noise to cover up an inward fear
find disquiet.”
It is hard to be sure that you are
captain of your soul in these mod-

haven't any soul, anyhow, and you

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
Acecunting for the short cut across
grove and field, it was about five
frinsacs’ walk up to Bland’s house.
To Duane it seemed long in time and
distance, and he had difficulty in re-
straining his pace.
‘As he waiked there came a gradual
and subtle change in his feelings.
‘Again he was going out to mect in
conflict. He could have avoided this
‘mecting. But despite the fact of his
courting the encounter, he had not as
yet felt that hot, inexplicable expul-
sion of blood. The motive oi this
deadly action was not personal, and
somehow that made a difference.
No outlaws were in sight. He saw
several Mexican herders with cattle.
Bine columns of smoke curled up
‘ver some of the cabins. ‘The fragrant
smell of it reminded Duane of his
frome—that he used to cut the wood
for the stove. He noted @ cloud of
creamy mist rising above the river, dis-
solving in the sunlight.
Then he entered Bland’s lane.
While yet some distance from the
‘cabin he heard loud, angry voices of
man and woman, Bland and Kate still
quarreling! He took a quick survey
Of the surroundings. ‘There was now
fot even a Mexican in sight, Then
he hurried a little.
‘Half-way down thetlane he turned
his head to peer through the cotton-
woods. This time he saw Euchre
‘coming with the horses. There was
‘no indication that the old outlaw might
Ins his nerve at the end. Duane had
fec.ed this,
Duane now changed his walk to a
‘eisurely saunter. He reached the
porch and then distinguished what was
said inside the cabin.
“Ii you do—Bland, by Heaven, Tl
fix you and her!” Thet was panted
‘out in Kate Bland’s full voice.
“Let me loose! I'm going in ‘here,
J tell you!” replied Bland hoarsely.
“What for?”
“] want to make a little love to her.
Haha! Ill be fun to have the
laugh on her new lover.”
“You fie!” eried Kate Bland.
“Let me’ go!” His voice grew
hhoarser with passion.
“No, no! I won't let you go! You'll
choke 'te—truth out of her! you'll
kell her.”
+ “The truth!” gritted Bland.
“Yes, I lied. Jen lied. But she
lied to save you. You needn't—mur-
der her—for that.”
‘Bland cursed horribly. Then fol-
Jowed a wrestling sound of bodies in
violet straining contact—the scrape of
feet—the jangle of spurs—a crash of
sliding table or chair, and then the ery

‘Dane stepped into the open door—
inside the room. Kate Bland lay half
across a table, where she had been
fiuny, and she was trying to get to
her feet. Bland’s back was turned. He
kad opened the door into Jennie’s room
and had one foot across the threshold.
Duane caught the girl's low, shudder-
ing cry
“Good morning!” he called, loud and
cleat.
With cailike swiftness Bland wheet-
ed—then froze on the threshold. His

his gun exploding as it dug into, the
floor, and it dropped loose from
stretching fingers. Duane stood over
him, stooped to turn him on his back.
Bland looked up with clouded gaze,
then gasped his Tast,
“Duane, you've killed him!” cried
Kate Bland huskily. “I knew you'd
have to.”
She staggered against the wall, her
eyes dilating, her strong hands clench-
ing, her face half stunned, but showed
no grief.
“Jennie!” called Duane sharply.
“Oh—is it you-Duane?” came a
halting reply
“Yes, Come out. Hurry!"
__ She came out with uneven steps, see-
ing only him, and she stumbled over
Bland’s body. Duane caught net he

door equslly significant.
“Duane!” cred Mrs. Bland.
Tt was no Hime for wh. Duane
eiged cn, ‘ecping Jennic behind him.
‘At that mement there was a pounding
of iron-sied hoois out in the lane.
Kate Bland bounded to the door. When
‘she turned nek her amaze was chang-
ing to realization
SWherese you_taking Jen?” she
cried, her voice Tike a man's,
“Get ot of my way!” replied Du-
ane. His Icok, perhaps, without speech,
‘was enough for her. In an instant she
vas transformed imto a fury.
“You hound! All the time you were
fooling ine. You made love to me!
You let me believe—you swore you
Joved me! Now I see what was queer
about you! AN for that slut! But
you can't have her. You'll never leave
fere alive! Give me that girl! Let
ne get at her! She'll never win any
snore men in this canup!”
‘She was a heavy, powerful woman,
and it took all Duane's strength to
ward off her onslaughts, She clawed
at Jennie over his upheld arm. Every
second her furry increased.
“Help! Help! Help!” she shrieked
in a voice that must have penetrated
‘to the remotest cabin in the valley.
“Let go! Let go!” cried Duane,
Jow and sharp. He still held his gun
in his right hand, and it bezan to be
hard for him to ward the woman off
His coolness had gone with her shriek
for help. “Let go!” he repeated, and
he shoved her fiercely.
‘Suddenly she snatched a rifle off the
wall and_ backed away, her strong
hands fumbling at the lever. As she
jerked it down, throwing a shell into
‘the chamber and cocking the weapon,
Duane leaped upon her. He struck up
the rifle as it went off, the powder
burning his face.
“Jennie, run out! Get on a horse!”
he said, still low and sharp.
Jennie flashed out of the door,
With an iron grasp Duane held to
the rifle-barrel, He had grasped it
with his left hand, and he gave such
a powerful pull that he swung. the
woman off the floor. But he could not

the same curses, and from her lips
they seemed strange, unsexed, more

Like a tigress she fought him. Her
face no longer resembled a woman's,
The evil of that outlaw life, the wild-
ness and rage, the meaning to kill
was, even in such a moment, terribly
impressed upon Duane,
He heard a cry from outside—a
man’s cry, hoarse and alarming.
Tt made him think of loss of time,
This demon of a woman might yet
block his. plan.
“Let go!” he whispered and felt his
lips stiff. In the grimness of that in-
stant he relaxed his hold on the rifle-
barrel.
With a sudden, redoubled, irresist-
ible strength, she wrenched’ the rifle
down and discharged it. Duane felt
a blow—a shock—then a burni

of the door to the porch. The sharp
cracking of a gun halted him. He saw

into the cabin,
Duane bounded down to the Horses.
Jennie was trying to hold the plung

dead, a bullet-hole in his shirt, his face
set hard, and his hands twisted around
gun and bridle.
“Jennie, you've nerve all right,”
cried Duane as he dragged down the
horse she was holding. “Up with you

she faltered, pointing with tremitns

his gun—and he had sustained a tc.
rible wound.
He had been shot through the bresst
far enough down to give him grave
apprehension of his life. Little pain
attended the injury, and no sense of
weakness yet. The clean-cut-bullet-
hole bled freely both at its entrance
and wheze it had come, but with no
signs of hemorrhage. He did notbiced
at the mouth; however, he began to
cough up a reddish tinged foam.
Jennie, with pale face and mute
lips looked at him.
“T'm badly hurt, Jennie,” he said;
“put I guess I'll stick it out.”
“The woman—did she shoot you?”
“Yes. She was a devil. Euchre told
me to look out for her. I wasn't
quick enough.”
“You didn't have to—to—” shiv-
ered the girl.
“My God, no!” he replied.
They did not stop climbing while
Duane tore a scarf and made com-
presses, whiclr he bound tightly over
his wounds. The fresh horses made
fast time up the rough trail. From
‘open places Duane looked down.
‘When they surmounted the steep
ascent and stood on top of the Rim-
Rock, with no signs of pursuit down
- the valley, and with the wild, broken,
fastnesses before them, Duane turned
to the girl and assured her that they
now had every chance of escape.
“Jennie, we're going to get away,”
he said with gladness. “T'll be well in
a few days. You dox't know how
strong I am. We'll hide by day and
travel by night. I can get you across
the river.”
“And then?” she asked.
“We'll find some honest rancher.”
“And then?” she persisted.
“Why—" he began slowly. “That's
as far as my thought ever got. It was
pretty hard, I tell you, to assure my-
self of so much. It means your safe-
ty. You'll tell your story. "You'll be
sent to some village or town and taken

Meets the Issu pose Segrega Committee
The Baptist Ministers Conference of Richmond and Vicinity meet last Monday at St. John Baptist Church, Ginter Park. This grand o.d church of interesting history and pleasant memory, under the leadership p of its energetic pastor, Rev. J. W Kemp has been completely renovated and beautified. The exterior has been splendidly done in white and mahogany, pews freshly stained, organ refinished in gold and bronze, and new art glass windows installed. Altogether St. John presents one of the handsomest church interiors in the city.
The outside of the church has been freshly stuccoed and the wood trim repainted. In its beautiful location, surrounded by a wide expanse of grass covered lawn, St. John presents an appearance that ought to attract worshippers from far and near. Rev. Kemp and his congregation are to be congratulated upon this forward step and for their foresight in enhancing the worth of an already valuable piece of church property. . .
The session opened; the president called attention to the effort being made to place before the City Council a segregation ordinance. It was the opinion of the Conference that since the minister represents all of the people, and since virtue of his high office he speaks for the masses of the people, both high and low, that a committee be appointed to attend the Council meeting at the time a report is called for on this ordinance.
The personnel of the committee is as follows: Rev. J. E. Fountain, President of the Conference; Dr. J. T. Hill, Pastor Second Baptist Church; Dr. W. L. Ransome, Pastor First Baptist Church, South Richmond; Dr. F. W. Williams, Pastor Fourth Baptist Church; Dr. W. H. Stokes, Pastor Ebenezer Baptist Church; Dr. A. W. Brown, Pastor Sixth Mt. Zion Baptist Church; Rev. A. D. Daly, Pastor Fifth Baptist Church and Rev. O. B. Simms, Pastor Rising Mt. Zion Bap't Church.
Prof. Louis G. Gregory was introduced to the Conference as a world traveler interested in the promotion of better relationship and understanding between the races of mankind everywhere.; Prof. Gregory discussed his work in a very interesting way, which impressed the Conference with the fact that he had the disposition and spirit necessary to carry on this Christ-like task.
The order of the day was a paper by Rev. W. L. Ransome on "New

And among the new vocations for women, you might add—foundation-
garment designing!
A few years ago, corset-designing was a problem in engineering with steel and bone, and it went out along with the other "gentel" occupations, hair-wreathing and quilting-bees.
But the designing of the hundreds of present-day foundation garments for women has come to be one of the most highly specialized in the entire designing field, as attested by the convention of the H. W. Gossard Co. in Chicago, where more than a hundred figure-fashion experts from England, Canada, and all parts of the United States gathered recently.
Miss Kathryn Cunningham, who has designed thousands of garments for women in the last ten years, displayed the latest evolutions of the old-fashioned corresets, foundations for every possible type of female figure at the figure fashion show.
Miss Cunningham has developed her profession from the days when corset-designing required building garments according to an imaginary wasp-waist figure, without regard to the outlines of the human figure, up to the present day of varied figure-fashion.
"The art of the corsetterie used to be simply to pour the human figure into a universal garment and make the ladies like it," Miss Cunningham said.
"In ten years figures have changed from hour-glass to string-bean and back to our present-day figures with moulded curves.

Testament Church Officers". The paper was received with thanks by the brethren and was the subject of a brilliant discussion. The paper developed the following points:
1. The Origin of Church Officers.
2. The Authority of Church Officers
3. The Personnel of Church Officers.
4. The Duties of Church Officers.
Following adjournment a committee of ladies of the church served an appetizing lunch in the newly built anterooms adjoining the main auditorium. Pending another invitation from the hospitable pastor and congregation of St. John the Conference will meet at Ebenezer Baptist Church.
On next Monday the parable of the "Ten Virgins" will be the topic of discussion. Dr. J. T. Hill will open the subject. Brethren who are seeking more light on Bible truth are invited to be present. To hear this parable illuminated and discussed by experienced preachers and learned theologians will be well worth the time spent in the meeting

ST. PETERSBURG, Florida. — This city enjoys the distinction of being the only lighter than air aviation base in the entire southland with the coming to the Sunshine City of the airship "Puritan" and the establishment of its winter quarters from December to May.
Owned by the Goodyear-Zeppelin Corporation of Akron, O., the "Puritan" will attempt the longest flight ever made by an aircraft of its size for the St. Peterburg base, selected by President P. W. Litchfield because of the city's climatic conditions that exist here the entire year around.
In coming to St. Petersburg, the "Puritan" will enjoy the distinction of being the first airship to touch Florida soil and will give

Time is money in big business and for that reason every effort is expanded to acquire time-saving devices and instruments and machines. But what d as the busy executive do when his presence is desired three thousand miles away? A telephone will not do; the mail is too slow; transcontinental limits require days. What then? John H. Kraft, vice president of the Kraft-Phenix Cheese Co., supplied the answer recently. Business interests in San Francisco required his immediate attention in the California metropolis. He was at his desk in Chicago. Three days on the train to California, but that would too late. Mr. Kraft made arrangements with one of the aircraft companies in Chicago, and within 22 hours he was in San Francisco. "Although I previously had flown in Europe," Mr. Kraft declared, "I had not been my master."

The long trip from Chicago to San Francisco—long in mileage only—was made with no more inconvenience than stepping out of one plane into another ship. Every indication points toward a revolutionized mode of travel of business men in future years."
Leaving Chicago at 7:30 P. M., Mr. Kraft was piloted to Iowa City, Ia., where planes were changed, as well as pilots: Omaha, Neb., North Platte, Neb. Cheyenne, Wyo., Salt Lake City Utah, and Reno and Elko, Nev., before the final lap to Frisco was begun.
Our changes of planes were made and five pilots aided Mr. Kraft in reaching his destination within 24 hours—a journey requiring days on a plane.
