Rear Admiral Davis, U. S. N. repre senting the United States, was prea- ent. The ‘commission unanimously elected the Admiral Baron von Spaun, of tho Austro-Hungarian. navy, to be thé fifth member, completed the pre- Mminary organization and adjourned until January 9. The other members of the commission are: Admiral Kas- nakoff, for Russia; Admiral Fournier, France; Rear Admiral Lewis A, Beau- mont, England. A London dispatch tays: The pub- Yeation‘in St. Petersburg of the state- ment that Hull fishermen have volun- tarlly deposed that foreign torpedo boats were among the trawlers off Dogger bank when the latter were fired upon by ships of the Russian Baltfe squadron is probably nothing more than a repetition of similar statements emanating from Hull and appearing in London papers the last few days. ‘These are circumstantial anu It would certainly appear to be true that some men of the Gamecock fieet have made statements before the Russian consul. The name of only one of these has beon revealed. He Is the boatswain of the trawler Ava, and he sald Thursday that he was induced to make the .statement while he was Intoxicated. He admits that he re- celved a certain smount of money, but now says the statement he made ig untrue. The exact tenor of his statement or any others has not been revealed. All published reports from Hult say positively that these atate- ments Were secured by two agents of the Russian government; but the Russian embassy in London repeated tho denfal made on December 21, which was to the effest that there 1s absolutely no truth in the statement that the Russian goyernment or any one jn any offictal capacity, or any one delegated by Russia has been en- deavoring to secure statements from the Gamecock fishermen in support of Russia's position before the Parls commission, ‘The sensational press of England rectly charges the Russlan govern- ment with using underhand means, by bribery and intoxicants, to secure falso statements from men of the Gamecock fishing fleet. The Russian consul at Hall sald the boatswain of the Ava was brought to his office, ‘but that he sent him to the commlesion- er of boats, where the cotsul says the Dostswain swore he saw & Japanese torpedo boat with the trawlers, The consul says he knows other trawlers who are ready to make similar state- ments, but that they are afraid of the consequences. The consul indignant- ly denies that he has.made any at- tempt to induce fishermen to make statements.

In the coming year let us all resolve to save more, and encourage each enterprise of the race. Our young men should save their earnings. There is no reason why they can not save one fourth of their weekly wages. SAVANNAH is dotted all over with churches, and yet but little Christian activity is being shown along practicle lines. During this season of the year, how many of these churches have contributed to charity and thought of the poor in the community; How many of them have extended that influence which benefits the young people of the community and cause them to celebrate Christmas days in a becoming manner? How many of them are trying to reach the great mass of people who never attend church? These are practical things that should cause churchmen to think and act. In our community there are several ministers who are as inconsistent as they can possibly be. Some of these preachers are in charge of flourishing churches and get their support only from our people. They generally get up in their pulpits and elsewhere and preach about race pride and what should be done to build up the race. Do they practice what preach? Do they patronize race enterprises; thereby helping our boys and girls? Do they patronize the Wage Earners Saving Department or the Metropolitan Company? Do they encourage the several insurance companies conducted by members of the race? Do they have their printing done at colored printing offices. This can be answered in the regulations by simply looking at the imprint on any job of printing that they have done. Such preachers are drawbacks to the race and the people should know who they are and treat them as they deserve to be treated. THE TRIBUNE is proud to say that all of the preachers are not in the above category, and are shining lights for race progress. This class of preachers we are proud to know and sing their praises, but the good Lord deliver us from others. THE need of our young men for a place of recreation has never been more apparent than at present. They have no place to go except hanging around the bar or other questionable places. Many would say that the churches are open several nights during the week and they could find recreation and profit there, but that does not meet the crayings of the average young men as has been seen by the perfecting of institutions elsewhere for his benefit. The average young man likes convival associates but this should be curtailed by that which will give them the greatest benefit. The one institution that will be of the greatest benefit to our young men in the Young Men Christian Association. Other cities with less population than Savannah boast successful institutions of this kind. There is no reason why one cannot flourish here. There is a number of young men who are willing to assist in this work if the proper encouragement is given by the leading citizens especially the preachers. These young men must be reached and must be saved, and one of the best ways is by the organization of an institution of the above kind. A few weeks ago a representative number of our people witnessed a game of foot, ball between the local team and one from Orangeburg. Among the attendants were a large number of young men in the prime of life. They were robust and dressed in the latest style. The observant ones present inquired as to the standing of the young men as citizens. From one who knew them very well it was ascertained that they have lived in the city for years, the majority from birth yet not one of them were boni-fide citizens. Not one of them are tax-payers and naturally not voters. From the stylish manner of these young men, they would be taken for young millionaries or else fully abreast of the times so far as citizenship goes. It is these young men upon who we are dependent for the future well being of the race, but alas! unless they mend their ways we will be doomed to disappointment and much of the hope of the race shattered. This class of young men can be seen always in a conspicuous place and making themselves ridiculous in the sight of good thinking people. These young men must be reached and taught the lesson of good citizenship. Collector Rucker and Bad Editor. We have noticed with indignation the results which the Atlantic Independent, an Afro-American weekly, has been making upon Hon. H. A. Rucker, our Collector of Internal Revenue at Atlanta. Because Mr. Rucker wrote during the campaign a political article in which he took sides with Roosevelt against the South, the Independent has attacked him with tooth and nail. What if Mr. Rucker did criticize the South? Is the South so virtuous and holy as to be above criticism? It is disgusting to see the Independent, which professes to be the organ of a people to which liberty is denied, denouncing one of that people for using his constitutional right of liberty of speech. We have watched the Independent for some time with distrust. Its weekly interchange of compliments with the Atlanta Constitution, which were obsequious on the one side and patronizing on the other, nauseated us. But we were silent, because the Independent, which should be named the Sycophant, was degrading only itself. We foreboded; however, its next inevitable step. Whenever a slave became a "favorite" at the "big house," it was a good sign that he was about to turn informer. In like manner the Independent first became the "favorite" of the Atlanta Constitution, and next, inebriated by the condescending pats of approval bestowed on its heads proceeded to denounce one of its own fellows. This is the usual rake'-progress of the "good Negre." If Mr. Rucker were notoriously inefficient and dishonest, the case would be different. But he is a first class, capable and upright gentleman. His office at Atlanta is as well conducted as any in the country, and reflects credit on the capacity of the whole race. But even if his qualifications were less eminent, the Independent should think twice before attempting to discredit him. If he should lose his office, it would surely revert to a white man. There are not so many offices open to Afro-Americans that we can afford to throw a single one away. Our attempt should be to lay hands, on more offices still. We are free to say that the Independent makes us very tired.—N. Y. Age. Has the Time Come? Has the time come for us to Americanize the S. C. of M. by having a Committee of Management in America? Let us reason this matter together. From the drift of what we see in The Independent of Atlanta, Ga., there is an effort to place a condition on the subordinate lodges that some wont stand, and some wont be able to meet, and others will fall by the wayside without even telling the outside world why it was that they had fallen. Now if the order has fallen into the hands of men from whom they can be no escape then is it not time to start out afresh in the world of Odd Fellows? Now it is no use to argue to me that it cannot be done, and it is no use to tell me that there can be but one B. M. C., on American soil, or that it cannot live. Here is my answer to all of that kind of talk, B. M. C., lives through the subordinate lodges, the S. C. of M. lives through the subordinate lodges, the Order lives through what the individual membership pays in the Secretary's desk. The only benefits that any member ever gets comes to him or her through what the individual member pays in. The S. C. of M.; the B. M. C.; the D. G. L.; all lives through what the subordinate lodges contribute for their support, and if it has come to the place where the sovereignty of the local lodges is to be overthrown, then is it not time to start out with a C. of M. of our own with modern improvements inculcated into its organic life. Let the 140 lodges come together and let us reason together, and see if we could not improve upon the future. 140 lodges is more than The Honorable Peter Ogden stated with, and do you mean to tell me that after all that has been accomplished the world of letters, license and Physics, that it is all accomplished, there remains nothing to be done, but submit to the heel of oppression. Only men fit for gally slaves argue that way. Freeman finds a way or make a way to the Highs of Liberty and Equality. When the Bureau of Endowment was first started by the Grand Lodge of Ga, it was the common accepted understanding that those Lodges that had already endowments of their membership would at least be allowed to have a chance to come involuntary, but with lodges that had no such burdens, or provisions for the protection of its members, they would be expected to take out their endowment at once, now since then, it seems that they have the endowment started, and find that it is such a good thing. They are trying to put the heel upon the Savannah lodges, or any other that may hold out for the Heaven given right to decide whether they should go in and assume a debt that they might be able to pay, or that they see no possibility to pay and keep up their present local expenses and because they hesitate the cudgel is held over their heads by the Grand Secretary, expulsion or submission. Now here is a condition that confronts some of the Savannah Lodges, they have gone before the Superior Court and had themselves chartered to carry into effect the provisions of their local endowment, and for them to fall now from any cause would lay them liable to be aued by the Court, but what does the Grand Secretary care for that, Submission, or Expulsion, those lodges can not go behind what they have done, in the way of charms, and would it be wise for them to do so even if they could. How does they know if the new endowment is going to be as well for the relief of the Wildows and Orphans as the local endowment has done. Would it be wise to turn loose the one for the other before experiences taught one that there was nothing to loose, but it would be a gain to those, for whom endowments is gotten up for. But what does the men care that is running The Independent with wounded pride the ering Lodge itself themselves published to the world as defaulters, without even the hope of redress from the mess that holds them up, to be criticised by the outside world that knows nothing about, the reasons whereof, and careless in the cities where some of these lodges are. Men and women never heard their names spoken of before only with reverence, with some is linked the memories of some loved one hurried by the said lodges, but with the Independent no name is sacred. I have thought the matter over from every stand point, and to none can I see a more clear outline of duty than to prepare to stand one by the other. There are hundreds of good Odd Fellows in every part of this country who in the getting of a home starts up the ladder in full flush of health and strength, and sickness overtakes them when they have got their homes two thirds paid for, and the inevitable happens, it reverts back to the white man, thereby helping to enrich another whom you had not intended, and it is so much energy and money lost to, the colored race, with that much given to enrich the white race that is already rich. Every effort thus to rise that is not successful discourages a heap more than if no effort had been made, and it is in the reach of the colored people to change this helplessness by putting a plank in the new constitution that will enable every Odd Fellow in like position as stated above who have the home partly paid for to be purchased by the order for him and thereby give him one more chance to redeem himself and acquire a home for himself in buys the said home, and resell it to the member, and when it becomes so he cannot pay for it and he must loose it, why it is not lost to the race, if to the individual, and it would be only a question of the few, and it would be only a question of the order would be a home-owner, and it would serve to keep the monies of the order safely invested, and not kept as a temptation to every incoming administration. We would never again have to witness the disgraceful squandering of the people's money as we did at the Valdosta Grand Lodge, or the question would never have to be asked as it was in the last B. M. C. what was they going to do with the tremendous surplus on hand, when it, or a part of it, was voted to buy a place for the order in the city of Philadelphia. The monies that will be spent for that one place could if spent in the way indicated for the Philadelphia Home affair, relieve more real human suffering than twenty times that much spent as proposed, and it would form the nucleus of a sinking fund from the returned monies to help every other Odd Fellow down the ages to come, and there relieve the living, as well as the sorrowing, and the dead: I am speaking on the present rate of taxation with the assessment for endowment as now constituted from the monthly payment of the Householders of the order there would always be enough on hard to meet any and all expenses of the order.

Parents should nof; when the evening of life comes, be dependent on thelr children, thus Interfering with the responsibilities those children must naturally have as- sumed. A mother has no moral right to interfere with the marriage of her Anughter; {t-should be the duty and privilege of a mother to teach and fit her daughter for wife and motherhood. ‘A good mother caninot be forsaken in her old age, nowithstanding the nu- mefous duties 2 daughter may assume} that daughter will always find time to cheer and solace the parent stem; the golden quality of mother love will beget love untold. To the aged mother or father, for whom the sands of life have nearly run, every thought of daughter and grandebild will be a solace, Every triumph, every woe of the absent child will be sympathized with by the parents who have: proved themselves worthy, ‘Chere are sure to be days when, with aching Leart and tired brain, the child will give any- thing on earth to creep into the-humble home and’ feel the embrace of those loving, aged arms. What a comfort to the parent who has been 2 worthy one Will such actions-be only the mother heart, tried and true, can tell!’ No woman has the right to’deprive her child of its rightful inheritance. Parents owe it to themselves and their children to make easy the downward path of life; they should also fit them- selves to be companionable, sweet tempered and unselfish to those about them In the declining years of their lives. ‘The mother who has become selfish and irritable in her old age must surely have been amlss in her younger life, for trials and sorrow and suffering tend to make a good woman better; they are brothers to knowledge, be- gause they educate and refine. ‘The mother who has become an in- yalld or $s in poverty should not be deserted by son or daughter; yet some ofher means, rather than the sacrifice of a child's dearest hopes. should be devised for the maintenance’ and comfort of such @ parent. Herein comes the blessing of making one’s self sweet tempered and adaptable. A good mother fs blessing and a joy, one to be prized abore all things else; her name should be breathed with rev- erence. A bad mother is a lasting disgrace to children and the commun- ity. ‘Some mothers will not Ive alone and refuse to have a son or daughter in-law in the house, or to live in the house of a son or daughter-in-law, lest thelr little failings become known— selfish, selfish to the core!’ To the good mother every head should be bowed; earta and heaven will do homage to her.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Huater modestly deny that they have any purpose of teaching by example a lesson to the poor of the elty through the radical ac- tion which they haye taken, But they have at thelr disposal a fortune of $10,- 000,009 and might command a Fifth avenue mansion, a country estate, a private yacht and many automobiles. ‘They might fritter away their time at the opera and the Horse Show and be submerged in the world of fashion and frivolity into which they were porn, but instead they have elected to livea Ufe of simplicity and usefulness and continue together the philanthropte work in which they were separately engaged when blind Cupid entered a sordid tenement with them and con- jured up a romance. LIVING NEAR THE POOR. At No. 88 Grove street they have set up their household’ goods amid sur- roundings which, immediately adjoin- ing, are quiet and refined, but which, not many blocks away, comprise some of the/most hideous aspects of poverty in New York, ‘There Mr. and Mrs. Hunter have de- termined to labor together to do their mite toward alleviating the conditions Which Mr, Hunter so graphically de- scribed. “This {s not a slum district,” contin- ued Mr, Hunter, reverting to the causes which had led him and-his wife to move into Grove street. “We have de- cent and respectable people for our nelghbors, many of them owning thelr own homes. But there are near by sev- eral districts with which I am entirely familiar in which poverty 1s rife, and nelther Mrs. Hunter nor myself will evade any responsibilities Which may fall upon us. “ Slum’ fs a much ill-used word. No place 1s a slum where the residents ‘are decent, respectable and hard work- ing. My idea of a slik faa distriet where the people are whélly steeped fn poverty and filth and are making no effort whatever to help themselves.” Then, going back to his frst state- ment, Mr, Hunter sald: “Do you consider any country pros- perous that bas 10,000,000 of its popu- lation in poverty? When Charles Dickens visited America he sald that ‘A beggar in Boston would be like a flaming sword.’ Forty years later one- haif of the people of the United States are propertyless, and about 10,000,000 persons now living will die of tubercu- Josis if the present conditions are kept up. CONDITIONS GROWING WORSE. “When about 50,000 employes of the railroads, mostly young men just mar- rled, with wives and children depend- ing upon them, are killed every year, and thelr familles left helpless; when about 150,000 die every year from tu- bereulosis, resulting from mal-nutri- tion, and 1,700,000 little chitdren gre compelled to work in factories, sweat shops, mills and furnaces, I think we ‘can expect that conditions will con- tinue constantly to breed a crowing Poverty in this country, and If, thiese conditions are not remedied, we will have poverty in a very’ few years that will exceed that of Europe.” “What remedy would you suggest?” Mr, Hunter was asked, “Birst,” he replied, “we have got to come to the point where we shall bave Government insurance, such as Ger- many has, against sickness, old age and permanentinjury. ‘There industry 1s taxed to pay for all injuries recelved y the workers, who also pay a pro- rtionate share into the fund, “In addition we must glve greater attention to our.tenement house laws, BVILS OF RECENT GROWTH 5+, “Seventy-five years ago we had pracy’ tleally no poverty at all in this cou try, and there is no- reason why’ our condition to-day should be what it is.’ We ate not individually any’ ‘worse off: Economically, however, wa ate much worse off. * “Unquestionably there should be much higher wages paid to’ the works. ere, but that is only one of the reforms needed. = . “Fortunately, it is in the power of: the people to help themselves.

Smith was crossing the tracks and stepped between a signal bell crank and the rail just at the mo- ment that a block operator around a curve was setting a signal for a fast passenger train that war due.

It is amazing how the average arch- {tect avoids planning for more than one bathroom in the moderate sized house, says the Northwest, Horticul- turist. He might be a herald of health and comfort to many a family. He could so easily suggest omitting ‘the “parlor? and putting in three or four bath rooms instead. And every family who could ‘be persuaded to ‘this would sooner or Jater rise up and call him blessed. Of vital things In the house few arc so vital as sufficlent bath rooms.- But one or two bathrooms are thought suf- ficient for all but the rich, while many ‘very ordinary homes have two parlors and a living room or library. Surely, extra bath rooms might take the place of the former by substituting a very small reception room. ‘This is chiefly due to the frightful conventlonalism of womankind. “Whatever is must be,” now and fot- ever more, Js the ideal of the average home maker, and the-architect must live down tothe level of his client if he live at all. - (FRvSERGLDT IZA (aa a “HINTS Ah! a Never put fruit stained table finen into hot soapsuds, because it will set the stains. ° Fine table Unen should be changed frequently, so that {t will not require hard robbing, as that wears it out more quickly than anything else.
