CUT TO DEATH A DEADLY ENCOUNTER IN TOBACCO FACTORY James Harrison Kills Harry Jackson While at Work---Charged with Murder. VOLUME XLVI, NO. 15 CUT A DEAD IN TO James Ha at W Harry Jackson 40, colored of 3001 P Street was stabbed to death Wednesday afternoon by James Harrison 32, of 3 River Street, South Richmond. The stabbing took place at the Allen and Ginter branch of the Liggett and Myers Tobacco Company where both men were employed and is said to have been the after math of an altercation over money matters. Jackson was stabbed in the chest and died within a few minutes. Harrison was arrested. (Special by John Mitchell, Jr.) I saw James Harrison in the pen at the Police Court last Thursday morning. Henry Jackson has a nick name, 'Monday'. Harrison said he got off from work last Wednesday at 4 o'clock. Monday, who got on at 3:30 o'clock waited for him and when he saw him, he attacked him with a knife. The man who worked next to him (Harrison) had loaned him a knife, when he heard that Jackson was waiting for him with a knife and it was with this, knife he cut Henry Jackson, although they all now said that it was his (Harrison's) knife and that Henry Jackson's knife and that Henry Jackson did not have a knife. CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE. As to the cause of the trouble, he said that Jackson had stolen some money from him and he got after him about it. Assistant Balliff Mel Folkes came in with an assistant to take the names of all the prisoners and this ended the interview. It is understood that Harrison has secured Attorney Charles W. Moss to defend him. Judge T. Gray Haddon certified the case to the Hustings Court, Harrison being charged with murder. STABBED HER HUSBAND Julia Jones 21 years of age, of 800 W.

Jack Johnson's Own Graphic Story Now to go on with my story of the Johnson-Jeffries fight. Because of the bitterness entertained by Jeff toward me and the persistent hints concerning the rairness of the fight and the importance with which it was fraught for me the selection of the referee for the contest, like that in the Burns fight was a difficult problem. The press and sporting authorities gave it much attention. It was a matter of lengthy daily discussion by sport writers. Count less men were suggested for the task, but neither Jeffries his manager nor myself could decide upon one that was mutually satisfactory. MANY CONFERENCES HELD We held many conferences over the proposition and at times this phase was a troublesome one. It became the source of much speculation and fight fans were consderably on edge because of the suspense that ensued. It was necessary for me to proceed with caution in the selection of a referee because not only were the championship and a fortune at stake, but my reputation was involved. However, I brought this controversy to a satisfactory conclusion by suggesting that Rickard be the referee. He was acceptable to Jeff and his manager and consented to act in that capacity. SECOND TIME IN HISTORY. Thus, for the second time in the history of prize ring contests, the bout promoter was the referee, the other occasion being as I have described, when I won the champion ship from Burns. Tex, I am pleased to say proved entirely satisfactory and his decisions and his conduct of the fight throughout were such as to please all concerned. Despite the hatreds, jealousies and several small fortunes which were involved in this contest, it was as clean and square a fight as ever was staged, and I do not think there is anyone, who will say otherwise. account of Jack Johnson's story on page 5.) MRS. NANNIE JOHNSON'S HUSBAND GONE. Joseph Johnson, husband of Mrs. Nannie Johnson died at their residence 819 St. John St. Monday February 18th at 12:50 P. M. He had been sick about one week.

LOCAL NEGRO PASTOR HONORED BY LEGISLATURE (New Brunswick, N. J., Home News) Last evening when the House of Assembly was called to order at Trenton for legislative business, Rev. Charles C. Weathers, pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church of this city, was announced as the chaplain by Speaker Gabrielson and delivered the invocation. As the House members arose, Rev. Mr. Weathers spoke in brief but impressive tones that could be heard throughout the chamber, and was well received by the packed galleries that heard him. When he had concluded, he was escorted to the office of Governor Larson, who gave him a brief audience. Rarely has this honor been tendered to any of his race, but Rev. Mr. Weathers is well known throughout the State for his able and constructive thinking on matters relating to his people, as well as for his ability as an orator on the platform. He has for the past seven years been in charge of the Ebenezer Baptist Church here, and is an acknowledged leader in the affairs of the community. Assemblyman George R. Morrison, of this city, presented Mr. Weathers to Speaker Gabrielson of the House at the opening of the session. Rev. Weathers attended public schools in New York City, and received his degree of B. A. at Amity Theological Seminary and Boston University. He served in civil capacity with quartermaster's department in the World War, and was discharged with honor. He is now secretary of the Interracial Committee in the State of New Jersey. He also has taken a special course at Rutgers University at New Brunswick, N. J. Dr. Weathers and Governor Larson were classmates in college twenty years ago, and Dr. Weathers is very highly esteemed by the Governor. DR. AND MRS. W. T. JOHNSON REMEMBERED BY MIN/STERS' CONFERENCE. Among the many commendable accomplishments of the Baptist Ministers' Conference during the presidency of Rev. J. E. Fountain was the presentation to Dr. and Mrs. W. T. Johnson of a gas heater to make comfortable the living room or their new and beautiful home on Brook Road. Upon learning of the desire of the many friends of this well-loved couple to express in some form their devotion, the Conference thought it fitting to join with them and express in some tangible way its regard for the man who for nearly thirty years has been in the vanguard of the Baptist Hosts of Virginia and his worthy and efficient helpmate. Among the ministers and ministers' wives of the city, none are more popular nor held in greater esteem than Dr. and Mrs. Johnson. Dr. Johnson is the preachers' preached the brethren regarding it as a special occasion when they can assemble and enjoy a sermon from his lips and heart. The gift was financed by personal contributions from the members of the Conference who felt that they wanted to present something that would last through the years—something that Mrs. Johnson could enjoy with her distinguished husband and the purchasing committee is to be congratulated upon the happy selection of a modern heating apparatus. It is the wish of the Conference that Dr. and Mrs. Johnson can now and then find an evening when the voices that call them from home so often will be hushed and the hands that beckon so continuously will be still: in evening when callers whose knock is always answered, will be absent, and this noble couple who have labored so long together may sit awhile in their living room to rest. And as the Conference gift JOHN T. TAYLOR STRICKEN. PRESIDENT OF SECOND STREET BANK SERIOUSLY ILL. President John T. Taylor is so riously ill at his home, 1406 Kemper Street.

JOHN- REACHES ible Sermon erial Robe Commission I visited Sharon Baptist Church last Sunday morning. The choir, under the admirable leadership of Director J. L. Peters had just concluded an enthusing selection. The members were all robed. The expensive church organ formed an impressive background as Organist W. B. Davenport fingered the keys. The astounding part of the whole business was the appearance of the pastor, Rev. R. H. Johnson, who wore a superbly fitting pulpit gown or ministerial robe the first to be seen in any colored Baptist pulpit in the city. I had not recovered from my surprise, when he expressed his pleasure at my being present and invited me to speak. I spoke briefly. An appreciative and delighted audience was present. The sermon was one of a series on missions. The text was from Matthew 28:19.20. It dealt with the Great Commission. Rev. Johnson declared that Christ anty was not a failure. Men had failed to give Christianity a chance. He turned aside to say that the segregation question would be settled if men would obey the command of the Scriptures: Do unto us as they would have us do unto them. "What rights," he asked can we get out of the courts? It is money thrown away. If the Churches would go down on their knees God would bring about a change. Jesus paid it all but He left something for us to do. We have Baptist Churches in New York who will permit persons to come into the Church without immersion. Can you omit the sacred ordinance of baptism? Rev. Johnson spoke briefly, not exceeding 25 minutes in the delivery of one of the best oratorical sermons ever heard from that pulpit. He made a profound impression. The choir sang, the benediction was announced and the congregation fled into the street many of them voicing their appreciation of the declaration to which they had attentively listened. ROANQKE LETTER Miss Lucy Talferaro is recovering Mrs. Ann Garlow is improving. Mrs. Eliza Scroggins had a relapse but is improving. Mrs. H. C.

Robert Johnson died here recently Rev, P. N. Toliver served the Zion Baptist Church, South Richmond and created a very favorable impression. He served communion in the afternoon. The body of William Powell, 29 years of age was resting on a cool ing board in the morgue of Undertaker A. D. Price, Jr., as a result of an accident last Monday morning at Seventh and Tredegar Streets, where there is a sandbar. He was driver of a large truck for hauling sand, when a nut in the steering gear is supposed to have dropped out and caused the truck to be unmanageable. He was driving parallel with the dock, when the truck swerped and smashed the wooden fence and plunged into the dock at this point. The water was about 25 feet deep and he went down with the truck. It is said that he rose three times and then his body was carried down to Twelfth Street, where it was recovered. The water had to be drained from the canal in order to remove the body and the truck. The unfortunate man lived at 1414 West Clay Street. He was employed by Harry S. Seay, sand dealer.

MANHUNTING ANGER TIME Albert T. Reid AUTOCASTER DR. HEALEY WILLAN The oldest music hitherto recorded on the American continent was unaccented and reconstructed for its first recording at the recent Sea Music Festival at Vancouver. On this occasion were heard three song-dances ascribed to the Indian Chief Minamata to the Lesbian Woman lawyer from Persia who in the year 1600 published an entertaining account of the life of the French garrison at Port Royal in Nova Scotia. Lescrobot, like all educated men of his day, was something of a musician, and wrote down in seltia notation the melody of songs he heard this Indian chief sing, but no modern historian appears to have noted the importance of this notation ever in making an English lyric from the French of Louvigny at Montmartre's 'Ordre de Bon- HERE MISTER C SMELL THIS GIMME TEN WORTH Tempa." John Murray Gibbon of Montreal was so impressed with the character of this music that he suggested to Dr. Healey Willan of the Toronto Conservatory of Music that he arrange it for modern production. To an Indian the melody is only his music and the preface was to disjunct the traditional rhythm. Dr. Willan was able to find in the traditional tribal music of the Mellette Indians, who are descendants of the Sourquoi of Lescarbot's time, three traditional dance rhythms which exactly fit the melodic line of the notes recorded by the French historian three hundred years ago. In this manner three delightful song-dances were reconstructed and incorporated in the ballad Opera "The Good Cheer," which was produced at Vancouver's Sea Music Festival. Hitherto the oldest tour identified with Canada has been the hymn "Jesus Ahatomin." which Father Brebeuf translated into the Huron dialect in 1642 for the Indian converts at Quebec. The song-dances of Chief Mambeton are, however, native to the Mambeton region noted in the year 1606. The probability is that they were old even at that time, as folktunes are handed down by Indian musicians from generation to generation. "L'ordre de Bon-Temps," deals with the garrison life of Champlain and his men more than 300 years ago at Port Royal in Nova Scotia was first sung in the original French may be at the French in New York, and in the music, with the assistance of five major artists from the Metropolitan Opera of New York.

FEBRUARY 23. 1929 The Executive Committee of the National Equal Rights League, Rev. W. H. Jernigan, president, advises the observance of Crispus Attucks Day, March 5th, as an annual observance by assembling and passing resolutions to be sent to the newly installed President asking for the abolition of segregation in the executive departments of the government and the passing of a Federal law against lynchings. This is an admirable suggestion. THAT APPEAL TO THE COURTS The legal fight to test the segregation ordinance as enacted by the Council of the city of Richmond has been launched with every chance of success, if we are to judge by the array of colored citizens as given out to the public. Dr. Leon A. Reid, the chairman, is one of our most progressive and energetic young men, and he is a Democrat in politics, even though his fellow white Democrats have seen fit to disown him by denying him the right to vote in the primary of his own party. J. B. Deans, the secretary, is also well known as being reliable and honest. He is connected with the North Carolina Mutual Insurance Co. Rev. W. T. Johnson, D. D., the treasurer, is one of the leading Baptist divines in this country, being a member of the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Richmond and vicinity and chairman of the colored branch of the Interracial Commission of this city. The Finance Committee is composed of the popular Dr. W. H. Hughes, James T. Carter, a national character, president of the Southern Aid Society and holding the same position in the Commercial Bank and Trust Co.; B. T. Kenney; W. S. Banks, cashier of the Second Street Savings Bank; A. W. Holmes, presiding genius of the National Ideal Society; Mrs. C. C. Sparrow, and that queen among women, Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, president of the St. Luke Bank and Trust Co. The committee to employ counsel consists of that prince of Baptist divines, Rev. W. L. Ransome, D. D.; that brilliant young leader, a man of the soundest kind of judgment, Dr. A. M. Bowles, and also a Democrat without a primary party, being in the class with Dr. Reid; Rev. W. H. Branch; Dr. J. M. G. Ramsey, one of our most brilliant young citizens; J. B. Deans; Rev. A. W. Brown, pastor of Rev. John Jasper's famous church and one of the most powerful and forceful pulpit orators in this country. He leads a multitude on his own account. Dr. L. A. Reid completes this committee. Were we disposed to oppose the movement or its manner and method of conduct, we would be unwilling so to do in the face of this brilliant galaxy of colored leaders. There are many more who could have been added to the list with profit. We looked in vain for our own Dr. G. B. Hancock, Rev. Dr. R. M. Williams, Rev. Junius L. Taylor, D. D., Rev. G. W. Gaines, D. D., and many others. Certainly the directing mind has made no mistake as far as it has proceeded. We see success ahead if these gentlemen will not shirk their responsibility and will do their duty in seeing that what is done shall meet their approval. The next step is to keep the interest to the "boiling point," and this can be done by quick action. If the City Attorney's office will co-operate, as it intimates it will do, the question will be speedily answered and settled. The oyster cases just passed upon by Judge Floyd H. Roberts, of Bristol, Va., at the hearing at Newport News, Va., to our mind is a case in point. Let the legal machinery move swiftly one way or the other, and let us speedily end the suspense. Selah. COLONEL HENRY W. ANDERSON'S OBSERVATIONS On account of his Negro-hating proclivities, which might be modified by calling it his antipathy to the "brother in black," it is not often that we can bring ourselves to approve and advocate anything that he sees fit to say. However, his assertions as quoted in the news columns of the Richmond, Va., Times-Dispatch of March 20, indicate that if his advice is followed, he will give the regular Democrats "a run for their money" in the next gubernatorial campaign. Here is what Col. Anderson said: "Nomination of 'an independent candidate for Governor satisfactory to the anti-Smith forces and the Republicans' was suggested last night by Colonel Henry W. Anderson, nationally known Republican leader, during a talk on current affairs before a meeting of the Hoover Citizens' Association of the Third Congressional District. A candidate 'independent sympathy with the Anderson's administration' was Colonel Anderson's qualifying descriptive touch. The meeting was held at Murphy's Hotel. "That the so-called nonpartisan group, organized at the suggestion of Colonel Anderson, intends to attack in one way or another the Democratic organization in the State was frankly admitted by the speaker, who said he had been accused by the press of dealing 'secretly.' "Nomination of such an 'independent,' as Colonel Anderson described, will be, he said, 'sound politics,' and in addition, will be 'in the interest of Virginia, and in the want to put Virginia ahead of any party.' When Governor is national committeeman of his party, Colonel Anderson said, he necessarily is partisan, and when a Secretary of the Commonwealth also is secretary of his party organization he is too near partisanship. "Colonel Anderson reiterated his charge that Virginia has 'some of the worst laws in the world,' and said that if the Republicans should win they would want to use these laws to punish Democrats 'just as Democrats have for years punished them.' "We are fighting for freedom—nothing else," Colonel Anderson said. I see the press says we've been dealing secretly with Hoover Democrats. There's nothing secret about it. I hold no party position, but I'm willing to do my best to be the Republicans to endorse an independent candidate." Referring to the present oyster situation, Colonel Anderson referred to the 'Teapot Dome principle' involved in the lease of public lands. You might as well lease Capitol Square," he said. You may say what you will, this is the "milk in the coconut," the way to annihilate the present Democratic machine in this State, if a true, independent Democrat can be induced to make the race. On the other hand, should the Democrats pick a man of independent stamina, free from the past embarrassments as between the anti-Smith Democrats and the regulars, the Republicans may find a "rocky road to Dublin." The split in the South was not so much on account of the political drawing power of Hon. Herbert Hoover as it was the anti-Roman Catholic, anti-wet, anti-Smith sentiment against the distinguished New Yorker, who had the eyes of the world focussed upon him during his meteoric campaign for the position of President of the United States. Governor Harry Flood Byrd may devise a plan to free his party and its machine from a most embarrassing situation. Should he succeed, his title ti transient political leadership will be secure. As for the colored people, they will have an opportunity, from a political standpoint that will hardly come to them during the next fifty years.

I did so, and in twenty-four hours after using his medicines, I passed at least a half dozen gravel, since as big as a large pea. Since that time I have not suffered with the gravel.

Daubersville, Pa. --- JACK JOHNSON'S OWN STORY OF HIS GREAT FIGHT WITH JIM JEFFRIES AT RENO. ENEMIES TRIED TO POISON HIM=FRANK SUTTON GOT THE DOSE=WAS SICK FOR MANY MONTHS W (Continued from Last Week) Now to go on with my story of the Johnson-Jeffries fight. Because of the bitterness entertained by Jeff toward me and the persistent hints concerning the fairness of the fight and the importance with which it was fraught for me, the selection of the referee for the contest, like that in the Burns fight, was a difficult problem. The press and sporting anthories gave it much attention. It was a matter of lengthy daily discussion by sport writers. Countless men were suggested for the task but neither Jeffries, his manager, or myself could decide upon one that was mutually satisfactory. Many Conferences Held We held many conferences over the proposition and at times this phase was a troublesome one. It became the source of much speculation, and fight fans were considerably on edge because of the suspense that ensued. It was necessary for me to proceed with caution in the selection of a referee, because not all the championship and fortune at stake, but my reputation was involved, I brought this controversy to a satisfactory conclusion by suggesting that Rickard be the referee. He was acceptable to Jeff and his manager and consented to act in that capacity. Second Time in History Thus, for the second time in the history, of prize ring contest, the boun promoter was the referee, the other occasion being, as I have described, when I won the championship from Burns. Tex, I am pleased to say, proved entirely satisfactory, and his decisions and his conduct of the fight throughout were such as to please all concerned. Despite the hatreds, jealousies and several small fortunes which were involved in this contest, it was as clean and square a fight as ever was staged, and I do not think there is anyone who will say otherwise. Complete Vindication The manner in which I fought certainly vindicated me of any charges of "brookedness," and disproved the countless untruths and damaging hints that were bandied about preceding the fight. There have been charges in recent months that Jeffries was doped and that he entered the ring in a deazed and helpless condition. These charges are absurd and were raked up by those desiring to revolve a controversy which will no longer boxers nor the ring any good. No Other Reason Foebe they were conjectured for the other version than to please sensation-nongers. Certainly, if Jeff he would have realized it at the time, and even though he would have been about as the fight began, beginning to say anything that would make his friends, surely he would have said something concocted in after the fight, if or no other concocted than to explain his downfall. Adjust Condition But he said nothing, and so far as I can learn, has not entered the controversy, either to confirm or deny the declarations. Even though Jill had failed to realize his condition had he been doped, the court trainers, sporting authorities ```markdown ``` and other about him would have recognized any condition in him resulting from dope or poison of any kind. He was an object of great care and solicitation on the part of those about him. They were watching his condition constantly, and when the hour of the fight arrived, pronounced his condition perfect, because he had been thoroughly examined physically a short time before the bout began. Alort and Energetic Had he been doped or dazed, I certainly would have recognized such a condition when he got into action. Instead I found him as alert, energetic and vigorous as any fighter I had faced. There was absolutely no indication of any condition would impact his physical ability. The charge that he was doped, I must assert, was absolutely I must assert, and I believe Jeff is of THE RICHMOND PLANFT, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA like opinion. That there were those willing and capable of doping either Jeffries or myself, however, I do not doubt. Tried to Poison Him One thing of which I am certain is the fact that an effort was made early in my training to poison me, and had not one of my associates swallowed the poison, which was meant for me, the Reno fight might have had an entirely different ending. As it was, Frank Sutton, a member of my training staff, became deathly ill and was constantly under the care of a doctor. The effect of the poison was just as might wish had he planned for a disable a boxing attack, for it left continuous ill effects, and it was almost a hour before Sutton had recovered, and then only after he had been almost constantly under the care of a physician. Another Got the Dose The poison was swallowed in a bar-batroom at the Seal Rock Hotel, San Francisco, where I had established my training quarters. I, myself, and members of my party often went into this particular bar-batroom for a glass of wine. Sutton, who purchased all my food and superintended its cooking, was cautious and watchful. He subjected everything to close scrutiny. On the day he was poisoned his suspicions were aroused and, without saying anything to me, he shifted the glasses of wine, which had been poured for me and my friends. Was Heavily Loaded He got the glass intended for me, and it proved to be heavily loaded with something, as poor Sutton could well attest for many months afterwards. However, he did not slacken in his duties toward me, nor relax his vigilance, for after we had moved to Reno there were numerous rumors about to the effect that they were going to "give me," and all of us observed the utmost caution in eating or whenever we were in public. Rumors that gunmen were on my trail were prevalent, and because of this Governor Dickerson detailed five State rangers to guard me. Hap pily no other attempt was made on me; I finished my training, defeated Jeff and left the Nevada town bale and sound. In Better Condition I feel that I was even in better condition when I stepped into the ring with Jeff than I was on the occasion of the Burns fight. My physical condition was perfect. My training had proceeded to just the right point and I never felt more right nor confident than I did on that memorable July 4th. My training had begun at Seal Rock, but had been interrupted by the stopping of the fight by Governor Gillette. We then moved to Reno, transferred in a special car. We set up our camp at Rick's Road House and we worked earnestly. Camp Trainers In my camp as trainers, sparing partners and seconds were Al Kauffman, Monte Cutler, Kid Cotton, Tom Flannigan, Frank Sutton, Barney Fury, Stanley Ketchell, Bill Delaney and Watson Burns. Bill Little, at the beginning, was my manager and Owen Sigwart was business agent. In my training periods, maintained a particular chief trainer. I never left my trainers to devise methods nor did I look to them instructions. I had work-out my own system, which I believe surpasses all others, and my trainers and others were directed to follow this to the letter. His Own Director They worked under my directions, and they co-operated in a manner which made our associations pleasant and successful. In developing my system it was only necessary for me to have substantial and dependable men around me, and in this matter I was exceptionally fortunate in my work at Reno. The man I had with me knew the game. Any one of them was capable as a trainer and any one could have worked a boxer into super condition. A Great Trainer Watson Burns was one of the greatest trainers of all times. Denley was my chief second, and what a second he was! Others in my corner as seconds were Watson Burns, Harry Foley, Jack Lehay and Barney Fury. Suton, as I have said, purchased my food and engineered the kitchen. He went to Deno daily, obtaining supplies, and never did he buy twice at the same place, if he could help it. He established no permanent purchasing place, because he did not intend to give possible food poisoners a chance to do any of their tricks. Watched the Kitchen He watched the kitchen like a hawk. He inspected every food ingredient and all food after it was cooked before I was served. Every member of my party had confidence in my ability and in my integrity. TEX RICKARD Though Dead Yet Speaketh His Estimate of "Jack" Johnson and the Latter's Description Jeffries=Johnson Fight at Reno, Nevada. All thought that I would win the fight and they backed their beliefs to the fullest possible extent. Of all these stunch fellows, who aided me in preparing for the fight, none has ever had reason to desert me. All of us, to this day, have remained the closest of friends. Four of them, I regret to say, are dead, but I recall their presence with the tenderest of memories. The four who have done Foley, Dalaney, Ketchel and Cotton. They, together with those who are still living, made training worth while and association with them was a privilege and a pleasure. (To Be Continued) ZION BAPTIST CHURCH. 120th dec. Decatur, So.

TEX RI Though Yet Sp His Estimate of and the Latter Jeffries-Jo at Reno, (By Tex Rickard, in collaboration on with Bozeman Buiger.) (Written exclusively for the Richmond Times Dispatch and the North American Newspaper Alliance) Jim Jeffries was not actually knocked down and out by Jack Johnson. In fact, as referee I did not count him out—made no count at all. This statement is made in answer to several requests I have had to tell just how Jack Johnson knocked out Jeffries on that memorable Fourth of July in Reno. The end came after it was very apparent that Jim Jeffries was beaten. Johnson was entirely too clever for him and seemed to have more physical strength. Jack was gradually wearing the big fellow down and had him wobbling about the ring. In the twelfth round, after Jeffries had been knocked down and laid up against the ropes and had showed that he had no more chance of winning Sam Berger jumped in the ring. "That's enough!" he said to me TEX CATCHES JOHNSON'S ARM. Just as he said it Johnson had drawn back for a final blow and I caught his arm. That was the end of the fight. Jeffries was on his feet. It was scored, a technical knockout, of course. In a few minutes Johnson would have had him out. Sam Berger was very wise and sensible in stopping it when he did. For me the end of that famous fight was a great relief. My job of refereeing had been no trouble at all. The men fought cleanly, and there was little for me to do except keep them at it. . . . The greatest relief, though, was that the fight, at last, had been successfully pulled off. I knew it was a financial success before we entered the ring. Hundreds of these holding tickets for the fight in San Francisco had exchanged their tickets for seats at Reno. The arena was full. JEFFERIES MAKES MISTAKE. At the very start of the fight Jeffries made the mistake of trying FIVE Thin Folks! Here's 5 Pounds of Solid Flesh or Money Back Underweight means your vitality is under par, your strength and energy below normal, so no wonder if you are thin, scrawny with sunken chest and hollows in your cheeks, you always feel down in the mouth, discouraged and rundown in health. There isn't an underweight man or woman on earth who wouldn't feel better if their weight was what it should be. That's why every man and woman whose bones are scantily covered and who want to gain in health and have an attractive figure should take advantage of McCoy's offer. McCoy takes all the risk—read this ironclad guarantee. If after taking 4 sixty cent boxes of McCoy's Tablets or 2 One Dollar boxes any thin, underweight man or woman doesn't gain at least 5 pounds and feel completely satisfied with the marked improvement in health—the your money will be returned. Just ask for McCoy's Tablets at any drug store in America. DO YOU KNOW HIM? Wanted to know the whereabouts of my cousin, Raymond Jackson who has been gone about seven years. He is 6 feet tall, dark brown skin with a scar on his head also one on his chin, about 25 or 26 years old. I am very anxious to find out if he is living or dead. Address DOUG SMILEY, 50 Lewis Street, Nashville Tenn. CKARD h Dead eaketh "Jack" Johnson 's Description Jnson Fight Nevada. to box with Johnson. The darky was entirely too clever for him. In the first round however, Johnson was extremely cautious. He feinted around to be sure of his ground. For three minutes, he took no chances whatever. Johnson was a very clever ring general. He was trying to see how far he could go. When Jeffries tried to box him, Jack began to grin. . . . As the fight progressed Johnson knew he was going to win. Then his boyishness came to the surface. He could not resist making lokes. In one mixup Jeffries missed and Johnson soaked him a good one. "Mr. Jeffries," said the darky, his lips parting in a big grin, "ain't no use in talking, dis is one time you use met yo' Waterloo! Jez 'go an' tell 'em I said so. Yas, sir—Waterloo is right!" JOHNSON "KIDS" CORBETT. The Jeffries crowd still had hopes and were yelling encouragement from all parts of the arena. Jim Corbett, second to Jeffries, was following every move and making occasional comment. Finally John son caught his eye. Again he smiled—showed those gold teeth. . . . "Mr. Corbett," he remarked, looking over the edge of the ring, "you better come up here and help out Mr. Jeffries." . . . A few minutes later he spoke to Corbett again. "Cain't do no good out there, Mr. Jim" said the grinning darky, "This Mr. Jeffries needs somebody up here, and right now!" . . . There was never a gamer fighter than Jim Jeffries. He gave all he had, but he was up against it. I don't know if anything could have saved him, there is no doubt in my mind that, the. stomach, trouble weakened him.

PNEUMONIA With all the vast progress in the science of medicine, we are forced to admit that the mortality rate in this terrible disease still continues high; a specific has not yet been discovered. A few common-sense observations at this time, should not be out of place. The beginning of acute lobar pneumonia is almost invariably with a pronounced chill. It is at this time that an heroic attempt should be made to abort the disease. The effectual battle must be waged early—for it does not take long to be too late. Call your physician early. Better be safe than sorry; a few visits by a capable doctor, are many times cleaner than a funeral. Meet the fever following the chill, with medicines which produce profuse sweating; literally "soak" the victim in perspiration. This reduces congestion of the lung by bringing the blood to the surface. Administer a good laxative as well; I tell my patient to drink all the water he can hold; the juice of four lemons in the first eighteen hours, is a good accompaniment. A big mustard plaster over the chest, at this stage, has earned its distinction for usefulness; later, it is too late. I am sure I have aborted many cases of pneumonia by the vigorous steps mentioned. Once the disease is established, your management and outlook are conjectural. care not what moralists may say, I have found the alcoholic stimulants value in the profound weak- pneumonia, combined with in aged cases. If we disease is estab- NOSE PINK, RECORD BROKEN * PEACEFUL FISHING ANOTHER CANAL NEEDED RADIO AND THE SCHOOL For 13 hours and 16 minutes, Elinor Smith, seventeen-year-old girl flier, staved up in the freezing winds above Long Island in an open airplane. When she came down her nose was bright pink, her legs were stiff, her hands were almost frozen, but she had broken the woman's endurance record by one hour. Flying interests women, it is one of the things that they can do better than men. The MOST important thing men can't do at all, namely producing and taking care of children. And that is what should interest women especially. It is better to create an Abraham Lincoln than to be Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Hoover is fishing, calm and peaceful, having written his inaugural address and selected his Cabinet. The country won't know who is in the Cabinet until March 4th. A thousand or more candidates may be sure that if they haven't heard from Mr. Hoover yet, they will not hear from him. The fact that Secretary Mellon REMAINS in the Cabinet will please everybody, something that happens rarely. The Panama Canal set a new high record for business in January, 593 ships passing in thirty days. The country needs another canal, and a Nicaragua canal should be built at sea level to take care of growing ocean-to-ocean traffic. The Nicaragua canal would provide this country with a canal from the Atlantic to the Pacific without the locks, so easily destroyed. What radio means to the world, particularly to this country with its millions of radio sets, is not appreciated. Public thanks are due to the Radio Corporation of America that, at great expense, engages an excellent symphony orchestra with Walter Damrosch leading and explaining, to play every Friday morning at eleven o'clock for school children and all others that care to "tune in." Every public school should have a good radio, and the teacher's duty should be to suspend classes and tune in for broadcasting worth while. If you have a little money to spare, buy a good radio set for the public school nearest you, especially if it happens to be a country public school.

Two circles of colored straw are used for centerpieces and a puff of harmonizing tafeta gathered around them to form a circular bag. A wreath of ribbon flowers is applied on the front circle of straw, and a silken cord used for hanging.

"Vern Latextr" "Vern Latextr" By Cecile VIRGINIA WATSON (featured in the collegiate musical comedy "Hello Yourself") declares the evening frock may possess all the carmarks of the latest boutiful models without being "pretentious — and proves it. Filmy floures, the dipping back line, fitted bodice and all are present —yet here we find none of the grown-upness that characterizes so many late evening gowns. Instead there is youth and a certain sprightly simplicity in every line. Just such a frock we'd like to recommend for our own young dancer—if we had one. Ivory silk sets form the foured section; ivory that crepe the bodice, while applique motifs are of palest yellow-beige outlined with tozap brilliants. The flower spray is in harmonizing tones of yellow; hose a deep ivory with a snail slipper in a pale topaz shade. Three Rules for Color Effects In planning color combination, these rules will prove safe guides for three different effects: The farther apart the color values are the greater the vivacity, while if lighter gradations are used the costume becomes more subtle. A richer effect is secured by joining two deeper tones. Spring Evening Wraps are Flaring To accommodate the flaring hemline of formal evening gowns the new wraps are also modeled along these lines. Sometimes they adopt the circular effect; again fullness is achieved through the use of shirring which permits the bottom of the wrap to fall in a deep, full flounce over the gown.

Without saying a word, Mrs. Rabbit found that hat, the book and her husband's necktie. Then she kissed the bunnies good-bye and waited for the Old Man to come downstairs. Finally he came and she said: "I think we ought to call this 'Where's MY? Family.' I never in my life saw people so careless. The children leave their hats, books, neckties." Now you are hitting at me and my necktie. How did I know I left it downstairs?" Old Man Rabbit was a bit peeved. "I am not talking about that, but what I want to know is WHY everybody around here thinks I am a walking encyclopedia." "We think you are the sweetest, dearest Mother in this world—and that's not all. We ask you to do these things because we love you that's all. You know it's the people you do for in this world that you love, not necessarily the ones who do for you." "You must love me a lot; but where is my frying pan?" "How do I know? You had it last. If I have to hunt for it, that is what you would have to do, so why make two of us work?" "Where's my pocket book?" asked Mother Rabbit. "That's different," said Br'er Rabbit, with a laugh. "Money is in my line, but not trying pans." And with that he started to hunt, while Mrs. Rabbit whispered softly: "It's those you do for you love, my dear!" THE DESERT STATE LOVER By E. Phillip Oppenheim ILLUSTRATED BY FRANK BERUEN Sixth Installment WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE Palermo is the scene. There an exile, Leonardo di Scalia, has come for love, the Englishman, Cartuccio, who spurs him. He meets an Englishman, Lord St. Michele, who falls in love with her sight. He commends her to a sister Margharita, his love for Adrienne is hopeless. But he pleads with her to arrange an accidental meeting, to say farewell, between Adrienne and him. She consents that night the Englishman of an attempt being made to carry off Signorina Cartuccio and寄garita, who is walking, by a triangular employer, a seated officer, on a lonely road. He rushes to the scene, and proves able to rescue the ladies. Inflamed by the failure of his scheme, Leonardo sees Margharita, who shows him, she knows, that he is the instigator of the attack. The Englishman now sees Adrienne often. The Englishman ting in the hotel, find his feet, looking up at the Sicilian, and scambling up "We sat here a week ago," recalls Leonardo. Lord St. Maurice nudges Leonardo and the Englishman quoll, the Englishman at first refuses to accept a challenge to the Italian consents. The two men face each other ready to fight to the death. Margarita stops the duel by coming in on the nick of time to save the Englishman from his fate, with two officers the exile Leonardo. The wows vengeance. After her arrest in jail he is vengeance, after she is old, broken man with only memories left to him. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY For through all his apathy he was conscious of a great sickening disappointment, something gone out of his life which had helped him, day by day, through all that weary imprisonment. Dear to his heart had grown that hope of standing one day before the masters of his Order, and claiming, as his rightful due, vengeance upon those whose word had sent him into captivity. Dear to his memory and treasured among his thoughts had grown that hope. In his prison house he had grown narrower; other thoughts and purposes had faded away. That one only remained, growing stronger and stronger day by day, until it had seized hold of his whole being. He lived only through it and with it. Now he had gone to Signor Bartlezzi, to find that the Order had given up its old purposes and principles—had become a mere social club. Given some soul-absorbing purpose, some cherished end, however dimly seen through the mists of futurity, and a man may preserve his reason through the longest captivity; while day by day, his narrowing life contracts till all conscience, all hope, all sentiment, become the slaves of that one passionate desire. Day by day, it looms larger before him; day by day, all doubts concerning it grow weaker, and the justice of it becomes clearer and more unquestioned. Right and wrong, justice and injustice, according to other men's standards, have no power over it in his own thoughts. His moral sense slumbers. Has it become grafted into his life, he no more questions its right to exist than he does the presence of the limbs upon his body. As surely as the night follows day, so surely does his whole being grafted into the accomplishment of his desire. It is a part of what is left of his life, and if it is smitten, his life is smitten. They are at once sympathetic and identical, so closely entwined that to sever them is death to both. This it was with Count Marioni, and thus it was that, day by day, he sat in his sitting-sroom slowly pining to death. Rude feet had trampled up the desire of his life, and the wound was open and bleeding. Only a little while longer and he would have turned upon his side with a sigh, and yielded up his last breath; and so far as his numbed facilities could have conceived a thought, death would have seemed very pleasant to him. He was dying. Loneliness, of disappointment and despair. The people at the hotel had made several attempts to roose him, but in vain. He answered no questions, and in his quiet way gestured intrusion. He paid whatever was demanded, and he gave no trouble. The manager, who knew his history from a short cutting in a newspaper which had chronicled his arrival in London, was at his wits' end to know how to save him. He had once endeavored to reason gently with his eccentric visitor, and he had been hidden quietly to the room. On his endeavoring to make one more appeal, the Count had risen quietly and pointed to the door. "I wish only to be left in person," he said, with a touch of clamour in his sad calm manner. "If you cannot do that I will go away to another hotel. Chooo." The manager had bowed and withdrawn in science. But he was a kind, hearted man, and he was still trouble-monger the matter. Dav by day the Smith was growing weaker; before he the world doubled due from stress, change of living as much as from national disease. Something else he doing toward communicative skills, if he had any. AUTOCASTER DRUPEN A tall, graceful figure moved forward out of the shadows, and he heard his name softly murmured. With a certain amount of reluctance the manager, as a last resource penned the following advice and sent it to the principal London papers: "If there are any friends or relatives still alive of Count Leonardo di Marioni, who has recently been set free by the Italian Government after a long term of imprisonment, they are requested to communicate, personally, if possible, with the manager of the Hotel Continental, where the Count is now lying dangerously ill." The great room in which the Count Marioni was sitting was almost in darkness, for the afternoon was dull A tall, graceful figure moved f heard his name softly murmured. and foggy, and the curtains were partially closed. There was no lamp lit, and the only light came from the brightly-burning fire near which the Count was sitting in an armchair ludicrously too large for his frail body. The flames fell on his white, worn face, with its deep branding lines, and gleamed in his great sad eyes, so bright and dry that they seemed like mirrors for the firelight. His hair and short unkempt beard were as white as snow, matching even the unnatural pallor of his skin, and his black frock coat was buttoned across a chest which would have been narrow for a consumptive boy. He did, indeed, look on the threshold of death. He had not turned his head at the opening or closing of the door, but presently another sound broke the silence. It was a woman's sob, and as he slowly turned his head, a tall, graceful figure moved forward out of the shadows, and he heard his name softly murmured. His hand went up to his forehead, Was it a dream; or was he indeed back once more in the days of his youth, back among the pine woods which tipped his castle, walking side by side with her whose presence seemed to make the long summer days one sweet dream of light? The familiar diamid of violets and wild hyacinths seemed to fill the room. The fog-bound city, with its ceaseless roar, existed for him no longer. The sun of his own dear country warmed his heart, and the sea wind blein in his eager face. And she was there—his queen—the great desire of his weary life. All his pulses leaped with joy of her presence. Five-and-twenty years of lonely misery were blotted out. Ah! memory is a wonderful magician! Sonardo! Will you not speak to me? Again that voice! Where was he now? Face to face with her on the sands at Palermo, deceived, betrayed given over to the enemies of his country, and by her—the woman for whom his passionate love had been his sole crime. Listen! The air is full of that cry of threatened vengeance. Hark how the echoes ring back from the cliffs. "By the sun, and the sky and the sea, and the earth, I swear that, as they continue unchanged and unchanging, so shall my hate for you remain!" Darkness—a prison cell Year by year, year by year, darkness solitude, misery! See the black hair turn gray, the strength of manhood wasting away, the eye diving din the body wears, it eyes on. What was that serrated upon the whitewashed walls? What was the cry which rang back from the towering cliff! "Hate unchanging and unchanged!" The same—ever the same. "Leonardo, have you no word for me?" He rose slowly from his chair, and gived his eyes upon her. Before their fire she shrank back annalled. Was it a storm about to burst upon her? No! The words were slow and few. "You have dared to come—here dared to come and look upon your handwork! Await! Out of my sight! You have seen me. Go!" Tears blinded her eyes. The sight of him was horrible to her. She faz- got, in her great pity, that justice he been upon her back. She sank upon her knees before him on the velvet pile carpet. "Leonardo, for the love of God, Forgive me!" she sobbed. "Oh! it is painful to see you thus, and to know the burden of hate which you carry in your heart. Forgive me! Forgive us both!" He stooped down until his ghastly face nearly touched her. "Curse you!" he muttered hoarsely. "You dare to look at me, and ask for forgiveness. Never! never! Every morning and night I curse you. I curse you when my mother taught me to pray. I live for nothing else. AUTOCASTER DRUEN forward out of the shadows, and he I had the strength I would strangle you where you stand. Hell's curses and mine ring in your ears and sit in your heart day by day and night by night! Away with you! Away, away!" She was a brave woman, but she fled from the room like a hunted animal, and passed out of the hotel with never a look to the right or to the left. COUNT MARIONI sat in his old attitude, brooding over the fire from the depths of his armchair, with t ad vacant look in his dull eyes. At first he took no notice of the opening of the door, but as the light, smooth foot-steps crossed the floor toward him and he hastened at his side, he glanced wearily up. In a moment his whole expression was changed. He was like a numbed and torpid figure suddenly galvanized into acute life. He passed his hand swiftly across his eyes, and his thin fingers grasped the sides of his chair with nervous force. Ah! he must be dreaming again! It was one of the faces of the past, tempting and mocking him! Yet, no! he stood there; surely she stood there. Mother of God! Was this madness come at last? "Margharita!" he cried, stretching out his hands toward her. "Margharita!" It was no dream, then, nor was it madness. It was truth. There were loving, clinging arms around his neck, a passionate, weeping face pressed close against his. Hot tears, her tears were trickling down his hollow cheeks, kindling his stagnant blood by their warmth, and thawing the apathetic chill whose icy hand had lain so heavy upon him. A sob escaped him. His eager, trembling fingers pushed back the clustering hair from her temples. He peered wonderingly into her face. It must be a vision; it would sunny fade away, and leave him once more in the outer darkness. Five twenty years had passed! She had been like this then! A sense of wilderness crent in upon him. "Margharita!" he exclaimed to. "I do not understand! You are Margharita; you have her, her eyes, her mouth! And yet, of course it cannot be. Ah, no! it cannot be." "You are thinking of my mother, she cried softly. "She loved my so mith. I ahm. Margharita married. "Married! Margharita married! Ah, of course! I had forgotten. Ah, are you her child. My sister's child. Ah, five-and-twenty years is a long time." "It is a shameful,幼时 time," she cried passionately. "My mother used to tell me of it, when I was a little girl, and her voice would shake with anger and pity. Francesca, too, would talk to me about you. I prayed for you every evening when I was little, that they might soon set you free again. Oh, it was cruel!" She threw her arms around his neck, and he rested his head upon her shoulder. It was like an elixir of life for him. "And your mother, Margharita!" he asked fearfully. "She is dead!" was the low muff. "Ah! Margharita dead!" She was so like you, child. Dead! Five-and-twenty years is a weary while. Dead!

EIGHT Remember way back when the possum curled up on the branches of the trees that are now standing in Chicago's parks—and when it was great Saturday afternoon sport to trap the coons and the mink and muskrat along the shores of the Des Plaines River and Salt Creek. Probably not. But it hasn't been so long ago! Chicago is less than thirty years away from the frontier—and it hasn't been twenty-five years since the wolves were at our door—literally! You may take the word of Fred Wegener, trapper extraordinary, who has spent the last thirty-seven years trapping fine furs in the very environs of Chicago, Western Illinois, and Iowa. Wegener remembers the day, some thirty-two years ago, when he trapped a prize specimen of a dark American mink, one of the finest of the species in the west. right near the spot where the Maxwood found, now single. And that wasn't all. Just twenty-five years ago, today, the coons and skunk and muskrats were plentiful and easy to go out to, usually to go out on a single dong side. ```markdown ``` This Is Your Last Chance. A detailed description may be found in another column. Here is the coupon: the course of the Des Plaines River or the Salt Creek and bag a dozen fat healthy specimens, according to the trapper. Wegener is in Chicago today making his thirty-seventh annual trip to Chicago, bringing with him the furs he and his son have trapped within the past five weeks, the height of the trapping season in Iowa. The Wegener trapped more than hundred furs this season, among them the pelts of mink, fox, muskrat weasel, civet cat and coon. They have trapped as many as 500 furs to one season. "Trapping in the middle west is just as profitable as it ever was, although you might think the progress of civilization would have pushed trapping farther west," Mr. Wegener said, displaying his raw furs at the Shubert fur plant at 25 West Austin avenue today. "My son and I cover between ten and fifteen miles every day, following our trap-line in the vicinity of Nora Springs, Iowa. As many as a dozen fine pines are often trapped in a day. Trapping is just as picturesque, and the scenery is so beautiful as it was in the old days before civilization, invaded the middle west."
