The session was called to order in the Auditorium by Col. H. I. Johnson, Deputy Grand Master of America. The public exercises were then intered upon with much vim and enthusiasm, the Household of Ruth adding very materially to the success of the day. Col. H. L. Johnson of Atlanta made the welcome address in behalf of the date. Judge W. R. Morris of Minneapolis, Minn., responding. The Hon. W. T. Mason addressed the body in behalf of the mayor. Grand Master E. H. Morris making the response. Among the other speakers were Dr. C. T. Walker, J. A. Sheehy, Grant Director; Dr. W. F. Penn and the Hon. W. L. Houston. Miss Dr. Ethel Wright, of Savannah, made the welcome address in behalf of the Households of Georgia and received a roaring applause which lasted for several minutes. Mrs. Mary A. Parker, of New York Grand Worthy Superior, made the response. The music for these exercises was furnished by the Tuskegee Band and the Od Fellows Drum Corps of Atlant. On Tuesday morning the business session began, the Households holding their meetings separately. The greater part of the day was consumed in appointing committees. Wednesday was taken up with hearing the repets of the officers and various committees. Several propositions were disposed of. The most important proposition considered was just dealing with the abolition of the Supreme Court. Up to his time the sessions were very smooth. The roll call of statesmen this proposition proceeded quietly until Georgia was reached when the chairman of the delegation announced nine hundred and eighty seven votes against the proposition. The vote was challengl, thus showing a split in the delegation, the majority being in favor of proposition. Filibustering was then resorted to by the supporters if the Supreme Court and continued until the hour for closing drived, thereby causing the proposition not to be taken up again in ballot until Friday morning. The partisans of the Supreme Court, especially of Georgia, were thus afforded sufficient time to hip the delegate in line with new exceptions and the proposition was lost. On Thursday morning the monster parade will occur. It is estimated that the E and sand were in line, at that time it coossed through the bay. It is harry of the city and was commended.

The king was interesting and harmed up to eleven thirty at night on the Grand Master announced election of officers in order. At this juncture the Hon. J. J. Lewis of Atlanta was placed in nomination for Grand Master, by H. J. Jones of Mississippi. The Gora delegation went wild with hisiasm. As soon as the noisy beheaded, Rev. Nixon of Alabar, was nomination the present Grand Master, the Hon. E. H. M. McMissis Chicago, Ill. At this conclusion Rev. Nixon's remarks pandemonium broke out and J. J. was at leas BEACH INSTITUTE OPENS OCTOBER BEE FIRST Several New Studies Added to Curriculum—Changes in Teaching Force Beach Institute will open Tuesday October 1. There will be two changes in the teaching force. Miss Jessie Folts of Herkener, N. Y., will have charge of the work in domestic science, sewing and cooking. Miss Gladys F. Lull of Mowson, Mass., will teach vocal and instrumental music besides assisting in other branches. Both teachers have had special training in the work of their respective departments and come highly recommended. The course of study which has been in preparation for some time is completed and will be adopted this coming term. The new curriculum provides material for the following courses: (a) College preparatory course (b) Domestic science for girls. (c) Mechanics for boys. (d) Commercial course. (e) Teacher's course. At present the commercial course will include elementary and advanced bookkeeping. Stenography and typewriting will be added as soon as funds are secured to provide the necessary equipment. Special attention is called to the teachers' course which is designed to prepare' students not only to pass teachers' examinations but to drill them in methods of teaching and to, give them some actual experience, in the school room. The new arrangement of studies is better adapted to the needs of the community than the old one and enlarges the school's sphere of usefulness. Printed copies of the new course may be obtained at The Tribune office, Mrs. Mary E. Harper, 2310 Harden street, or Beach Institute, 512 Harris street, east. Beginning with Sept. 23, the principal will be at his home every afternoon and evening and will be pleased to confer with parents and students in regard to school matters. half hour before order could be restored. The seconding speeches were then heard, after which Grand Master Morris turned the gavel over to Col. H. L. Johnson. The roll call of the states for voting was then entered upon. The first three states, namely, Alabama, Arkansas and Florida cast their votes in the order mentioned and it was apparent that the Hon. E. H. Morris was in the lead. Georgia, the next state on roll, was called and cast nine hundred and eighty seven votes for the Hon-B. J. Davis. At this point it was moved that the Georgia delegation rise and be counted as the above states were Grand Master Morris raised an objection on the grounds that there were persons in the Georgia delegation who were not delegates and were therefore ineligible to vote. He then attempted to resume the chair calling for the Georgia delegation to vote by credentials in the hand of the secretary. His attempt was vigorously fought by Col. H. L. Johnson, who was presiding. It is the consensus of opinion that had there been a vote as suggested by Grand Master Morris, Georgia would have fallen short of the number of votes cast by the chairman. On this account the election was not allowed to proceed any further. The meeting was then thrown into confusion and disorder. A few spasmodic attempts were made to restore order but they were of no avail. The leaders of both sides were determined in their stand. Morris was cool and deliberate while Johnson apparently lost control of himself. Neither would allow the other to preside and finally in a heated argument between Johnson and one of Morris' supporters in which blows were about to be passed the police interfered. Johnson was then made by the police to turn the meeting over to Morris, who seeing the impossibility of continuing with the election adjourned the meeting "sine die." The Grand Household of Ruth with over two thousand delegates had a splendid meeting and concluded by electing Mrs. MarytA. Parker of New York, Most Grand Worthy Superior and Mrs. Mamie Hailey of Georgia Grand Worthy Recorder. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 21 1912 BISHOP J. S. FLIPPER WILL PREACH AT MORNING AND EVENING SERVICE-PLATFORM MEETING TO BE HELD AT 4 P.M.-MANY DISTINGUISHED MINISTERS PRESENT. Building Not Fully Completed -An Overwhelming Crowd Will Attend Services—Building One of Most Beautiful Church Structures, in Country. On tomorrow morning at five o'clock the first service will be held in the new st. Philip church, West Broad and Charles streets. While the building is not fully completed, yet the work has sufficiently advanced to allow the formal opening on tomorrow. The fact that the structure will not be finished in its entirety by tomorrow will of course detract somewhat from its beauty and it will be impossible to see this magnificent structure in its grandgur until some time in October. Bishop J. S. Flipper of the Sixth Episcopal district will be present tomorrow and will preach at both the morning and evening services. At three o'clock in the afternoon the Sunday-school, under the superintendent, Mr. Jesse Brinson, will hold some impressive exercises, and at four o'clock there will be a platform meeting at which many distinguished speakers will talk. Music for the morning and evening services will be furnished by the church choir under the direction of Prof. B. S. Reid. The new church, which is one of the finest Negro church edifices of the country, is being erected at a cost of forty thousand dollars. Prof. J. A. Lankford of Jacksonville, Fla., is the architect while Mr. R. A. Pharrow of Atlanta is the contractor. One of the most attractive features of the new church is the twenty-five hundred dollar pipe organ. The building is of pressed buff brick. The church consists of a basement, in which are situated the Sunday-school room, the official board room, a ladies parlor, a kitchen, a dining room, the boiler and toilet rooms; and the main floor, in which are the auditorium with galleries on three sides. The pastor's study and the yestery rooms are on the auditorium floor, while on the gallery floor are the janitor's room and the store room. The inside finishing of the church is of mission oak. A grand fall rally will be held tomorrow and it is expected that a large sum will be raised. Beautiful Display of Fall Stock The Colored People's Millinery Store, 464 West Broad street, has just received a most beautiful line of fall and winter goods—very stylish ready-to-wear and untrimmed hats, also a lovely assortment of children's school hats of which they are now having an advanced showing. Their pattern hats present the styles that have been decreed by Parisian modistes to be authoritative for the fall and winter seasons. They have also a beautiful line of ostrich feathers, fancy feather bands, wings and everything in the way of trimmings. Their fall and winter opening, Oct. 7th, will be the grandest ever. They will endeavor to present assured styles and offer values that will be appreciated by their customers. You are invited to see them before going elsewhere. Prize Fight at Lincoln Park. The prize fight which was pulled off at Lincoln Park last Wednesday night between John Moore and Ike Griffin ended in a victory for the latter in the fourth round of the contest. A large crowd was present and the fight was fiercely waged. Carnegie Library Musical A musical concert which will undoubtedly prove very attractive is that which will be given at Catholic Hall on Friday evening, September 27th for the benefit of Carnegie Library. The concert will be under the management of Mr. Duncan J. Scott, one of the Curators of the library. There will be music after the concert. Price of admission will be twenty five cents. Among the participants will be Miss Charlotte Houston, Mrs. Rosa McDougall, Miss May Steward, Miss Georgia Hurd, Mrs. Charles Lewis, Miss Ella McIntosh Mrs. Alice Ellis, Miss Helen Ellis, and Mr. Fred Taylor. Tribune Colored People South Clean and Industrious SAYS MISS PETERS OF BOSTON IN REGARD TO EVEN THE POORER CLASSES OF COLORED AFTER SPECIAL STUDY IN GEORGIA-HAVE CLEANER HOMES THAN POORER WHITES IN NORTH There Is Also a Large Well-to-Do Class—Let Roosevelt, Who Discards Colored South to Disfranchisement as VenaI And Bad, Read this From a White Woman. That the missionary field in these United States offers more opportunities to workers and teachers than the foreign field, is the opinion of Ruth Marion Peters of Hancock street, Dorchester. Miss Peters is as much a Boston product as the proverbial baked bean. She is the daughter of Sebastian and Edith Peters, both well known in Dorchester. A COLLEGE TRAINED WOMAN. The mere obtaining of a college degree from Simmons college, Miss Hill did not consider adequate for her work as home missionary. Her first actual position in the home missionary field was at Beach Institute Savannah, Ga., where she has been for two years. Here, as part of her work, she has made a study of the Negro race. Next year she is to enter a new field at the American International College at Springfield. NOT PROVIDED WITH SCHOOLS— SHOWS NEED OF BALLOT—WHITES NOT SAFE GUARDIANS. "People in New England find it hard to realize that there is any place in the United States where it is impossible for boys and girls, men and women, to obtain an education. Not because they are too poor to pay for it but because there are no schools for them to go to. At Savannah, where I have been for the past two years, there is no public high school for the colored people. Beach Institute was started by kind hearted people in 1867 to help fill this lack. Of the six teachers at the school five are Northern women. AS BRIGHT AS WHITE CHILDREN. The past year it had 150 students about evenly divided between the lower grades and the high school. A class of 24 was graduated May 22, 1942. On the whole I have found colored children as bright as corresponding classes in the Northern schools. And they are so likeable that one entirely forgets their color." Through her position as a mission teacher Miss Peters has had an excellent opportunity to study the Southern Negro in his home, church and clubs. She finds that in their homes the Negro family of the laboring class is much neater than the same grade white people. "Of course," Miss Peters explains, "there are Negro slums just as there are white slums. But the majority of Negro homes are white-washed and well scrubbed. No matter how poor the Negro family, there is always some musical instrument in evidence. This is usually an organ. ALSO A WEALTHY CLASS: Miss Peters is particularly interested in the poorer students at Beach, who work their way through. "I have also made a study of the wealthy pupils," this mission worker confesses. "There is a class of Southern Negro that is very well financially. The home of such a one entertained me as a guest last winter. The house was a low, spreading one with spacious piazzas. It was throughout a dwelling of luxury and taste. The daughter has everything that money can buy. The family traveled much, spending each summer in the North. They love the south, but I could see that the cultured mother longed to hear good lectures and music and enjoy many other refinements not open to a colored person in the South. It is this culture that the better class of Southern Negro craves. He does not desire to be white. He is proud of his own race. A colored girl who marries a white man is just as much an outcast among her own race as a white girl would be who married a Negro. WANTS ONLY AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY Claim that Majority Members Unaware of Deal—Pastor's Position In Controversy Suit Thursday morning was filled in Superior Court by Messrs. Linton Llyons, Geo. Anderson and Wm. Black, deacons of the Mt. Zion Baptist Church against Mr. W. II. Stillwell, Rey. McD. Spencer and the trustees of Mt. Zion Church to enjoin the said pastor, and trustees from selling to Mr. W. II. Stillwell the church property on West Broad street, and to enjoin the said pastor and trustees from purchasing from Mr. Stillwell other property for the church without first getting authority from a majority of the congregation. The suit alleges that the church property is worth about ten thousand dollars and that it is about to be sold for sixty five hundred dollars, three thousand five hundred dollars less than its market value. That the said pastor and trustees are about to sell the property without first getting authority to do so from the congregation of the church and about to buy other property for nine thousand two hundred and fifty dollars without the authority from said congregation. That Rev. Spencer kept the proposed sale and purchase a secret from the deacons and congregation of the church and they would not now know of the same had not the proposed sale been published in the Morning News of Sept. 8th. It is understood or alleged, that before the agreement for sale was entered into between Mr. Stillwell and the pastor-that another party offered the said pastor eight thousand dollars for the church, but for some reason which does not look good to the plaintiffs in the suit, it is claimed that Rev. Spencer turned down this offer and accepted the offer of six thousand five hundred dollars from Mr. Stillwell. It is also alleged that the pastor, Rev. Spencer, was contemplating leaving the church as soon as the sale was put through. The injunction is signed by Judge C. B. Conyers of the Brunswick judicial circuit, who acted in the absence of Judge Charlton for the State, and besides enjoining the sale and purchase of property as before related, enjoined the pastor from taking any action to expell the petitioners and those joining with them from membership in the church or from their offices in the church The order of the court directs Mr. Stillwell, the pastor and trustees to show cause why the injunction should not be made permanent before Judge Charlton on Oct. 26th, 1912. In the meantime the parties are enjoined as above stated under pain of attachment as for contempt of court. MR. SPENCER'S SIDE. Rev. Spencer states that the charges alleged in the above will be successfully refuted. He says that the church was fully informed about the sale and purchase and that nothing was done under cover, but by action of a majority of the members. He says that at the proper time he will be able to prove that his position and action are correct. meeting of Atlanta University graduates. One of the questions under discussion was why the Negroes in a certain Georgia county should have no industrial school when they pay 45 per cent. of the tax on fertilizer that is supposed to support such schools? "When I heard the earnest and eloquent speakers among those colored lawyers, ministers and physicians, I felt that the solution of the Negro problem lay in the hands of the educated among its own race. Conditions are changing so rapidly that even Southerners see that for their own protection the Negroes must be given at least a grade school education. As for the Negro, himself, he is tired of being solved. He has come to feel that he can solve himself, if given the opportunity. And if he does not given that opportunity, he Miss Peters, he will probably make it for himself." NUMBER1 Teachers Assigned To Public Schools Teachers Assigned To Public Schools HAVEN HOME SCHOOL TO HAVE FIVE TECAERS Many Vacancies Made, by Deaths, Marriages and Resignations Filled—New School to Have Primary Grades Only—No Principal at Present. The assignment of public school teachers in the city and county was awaited with more interest this year since the establishment of the Maple street school twelve years ago. This interest was due to the establishment of the new public school on Anderson street, at the place formerly known as Haven Home, and to the vacancies caused by deaths, marriages and resignations. The opening of the Haven Home property as a public school called for the appointment and assignment of five teachers, while two deaths, two marriages and several resignations required the appointment of several others. The new school, whose work will be confined to the primary grades, will for the present have no principal. The primary building, a wooden structure which, was built several years ago, will be the only building occupied at the opening of the term. While there have been more assignments than usual, the personek of the older schools remains largely the same, this being due mainly to the system in vogue of promoting the teachers. The following are the assignments for the city and county: East Broad Street School—Pro f. Robertt W. Gadsden, principal: Miss R.G. Houston, seventh grade; Miss E. L. Jackson, sixth grade A; Mr. S.

Holmes PREPARED FOR A WARM RECEPTION Mexican Capital Fortified to Resist Zapatistas. THE CITY AN ARMED CAMP. Twelve Hundred Rurales and Five tached to the British provisional ac- Hundred State Police Added Mexico City.—Twelve hundred rurales and 500 state police have been brought into Mexico City to prepare for the attack Emialino Zapata has threatened to make on the capital. These added to the garrison of infantry already here, give a force of about 3,000 men for the defense of this city. The rurales are patrolling the streets and the suburbs in mounted squads of 25 to 75 men, night and day, while the 50-odd church towers of the capital are posted with sentries to watch the streets and see that no rioting starts. An order has been issued forbidding groups of more than five persons to congregate at any point within the city, and the mounted police have orders to ride down and disperse gatherings of more than this number. A searchlight has been installed on the tower of the building occupied by the Puerta de Vera Cruz, the largest store and the highest building in the city. Great beams of light from this large reflector wander at random over the city all night, permitting sentries beside the searchlight to see what is going on in distant sections of the capital. As was done at the end of the Diaz regime, machine guns have been posted on the roof of the Banco Nacional, the National Treasury, the National Palace and Chapultepec, the official residence of the president. Along the three suburbs, Tialpam, Guadalupe and Tlainepantle, through which Zapata has announced he will make his attack, especially heavy guards have been posted, and the barracks in each of these small towns have been provided with rapid fire guns and extra supplies of rifles and ammunition. Zapata has assured foreigners that their rights will be respected and urges them to fly the American flag over their homes and places of business, so that his raiders may know whom to protect in case mobs attempt violence toward any other than Mexicans. YIELD TO THE REBELS. The Federal Garrison At Ojinagua, Opposite Presidio, Mexico. Marfa, Tex.-The federal garrison at Ojinaga, Mexico, opposite Presidio, Tex., surrendered to the rebels, according to advices reaching here from Ojinaga, 50 miles from here. General Sanchez, in command of the federals, was in Presidio at the time of the surrender trying to get more ammunition for his men. Five men are reported killed in the Ojinaga fighting, but on which side has not been specified in dispatches received here. Preparations to establish a wireless station here were begun by a detachment of 24 United States signal corps men under Lieutenant Meyers from Fort Russell. The new wireless station will be available to transmit news of border troubles in the Big Bend country to El Paso. It is expected prompt communication will be maintained in this manner with Presidio, Tex., across the river from Ojinaga. 22 ZAPATISTAS EXECUTED. Mexican Brigands Still Carrying On Marauding Operations. Toluca, Mexico.—Twenty-two Zapatistas who were captured in a battle with federal troops near San Mateo, State of Mexico, were executed under the terms of the proclamation suspending constitutional guarantees. John Gill, a British mining man, was rescued from a band of Zapatistas and brought to Toluca by Lieutenant Liebano, who returned from an expedition into the rebel territory. After having robbed Gill of 1,000 pesos and his clothing, the Zapatistas carried him away. JOHNSON'S WIFE SHOOTS SELE. Tries To Commit Suicide At Prize Fighter's Cafe. Chicago.—The white wife of Jack Johnson, the world's champion pugilist, attempted to commit suicide in a room over her husband's cafe, on the South Side, by shooting. She was removed to a hospital and the attending physicians say she probably will recover. Johnson is with his wife at the hospital. FED SPINELESS CACTUS. Proves a Milk-Producing Diet For Cows. Santa Rosa, Cal. Two cows put on a rigid diet of spineless cactus here a week ago, with the object of exhibiting them at the state fair, are attracting the interest of dalrymen. On the third day their milk output had increased five pounds; on the fourth day seven pounds, and on the fifth day nine pounds. Two hogs also fed solely upon the spineless cactus are said to be thriving. OH! DEAR IM SO GLAD MY DRESS CAME I WAS SO ATRAID I COULDN'T GO TO THE PARTY TO-NITE ANTICIPATION REALIZATION JULES VEDRINE AIR CHAMPION French Aviator Wins the Bennett Throphy. HE SETS A TERRIFIC PACE. The Others Realizing That They Had No Chance Against the French Champion Withdrew. Chicago.—Racing under a blazing sun at a rate of more than 105 miles an hour Jules Vedrines, world's champion airman, won the James Gordon Bennett International Trophy at Clearing, Ill., and will carry back to France the emblem significant of the aviation classic of the age. His time for 200 meters—124.3 miles—was 1 hour, 10 minutes and 58.85 seconds. Maurice Prevost, another member, of the French team, completed the course in 1 hour, 13 minutes and 10.82 seconds. No other contestants competed the course. Andre Frey, the third member of the French team, came to earth on his twenty-third lap, but he was already hopelessly beaten by Prevost, who flew low and steadily and made a beautiful race. Frey said his engine was missing fire and he was compelled to come down. For the United States Max Lillie, flying as the entrant of the Chicago Examiners, saved this country the ignominy of not even having a flyer on the field. At the last moment when all of the other American entrants had decided, not to compete because of the terrific speed made by Vedrines, Lillie, accompanied by Photographer Fred Wagner, mounted into the air. A moment later as he headed for the course, flying high above Prevost and Frey, the crowd was electrified by the news that Uncle Sam was at least entering the race. Round and round the course went the plucky aviator, and time after time Wagner aimed his camera at the monoplanes speeding under them, snapped his shutter and carried away the only photograph ever taken in the air of other racing aerials. Vedrines flew in his own pet Deperdussin 140-horsepower monoplane, with the exception of the engine the same general type of machine in which he won his world-famed Paristo-Madrid race. Prevost also flew a Deperdussin but it was equipped with a 100 horsepower engine. Frey used a 100 horsepower Hanriot monoplane. SUGAR BEET EXPERIMENTS. Department Trying To Raise Domestic Seed For Industry. Washington. Foreign grown sugar beet seed, upon which the entire beet sugar industry of this country now is dependent, may be abandoned before very long for a domestic product. The Department of Agriculture's Bureau of Plant Industry is planning extensive experiments to determine whether or not high grade seed can be raised in the United States. POSSE CLASHES WITH NEGROES. One Person Fatally Wounded, But No Prisoners Caught Brooksville, Fla.—One person was fatally wounded in a clash between a posse and the band of armed negroes who took 11 negro prisoners from three deputy sheriffs near here. 'A posse went from here to Terrell to capture the blacks. 'PLANE FALLS; TURKS GET IT. Italian Bird-Man Made Prisoner In Hostile Territory. Tripoll.—The Turks, who on several occasions have tried vainly to smuggle into Tripoll an aeroplane for scouting purposes, are at last in possession of a machine through a mishap of Captain Molzo, of the Italian Army. Captain Moizo was making a flight from Zourau to Tripoll when the motor of his machine stopped and he was obliged to descend in a hostile country. He was made prisoner. DEATH RECALLS BIG BANK STEAL Note Teller Who Embezzled $690,000 Dead. MONEY WENT INSPECULATION Cornelius L. Alvord, Jr., Who Lived In Splendor Among Wall Street Financiers On $5,000 A Year, Dies In Seclusion. Stockport, N. Y.-Cornelius L. Alvord, Jr., one of the world's record-breaking bank embezzlers, died here at the age of 65 years. He was the note-teller who stole $690,000 from the First National Bank of New York. Alvord's crime was discovered in October, 1900, when national bank examiners went through the books of the big Wall Street institution. Alvord ran away to Boston, but was caught His plan of stealing had been simple As note teller, he handled all the incoming mall which contained notes. He had access to the bank's treasure vaults, and whenever he needed cash he simply helped himself, juggling the books to meet the deficiency by incoming notes. He used to keep some of these overnight and he came down very early each morning in order to forestall detection. He was tried, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 13 years in Sing Sing prison. He served eight years and three months of this and was then released. At the time of his embezzlements he had been living in Mount Vernon with his wife and three children; but, on being released from prison, he joined his family in a new home at Stockport. Diligent efforts were made to discover what he had done with the $690,000. Alvord's explanations of what he did with the money were never illuminating, and the suspicion has always existed in many minds that a considerable sum was "planted." Alvord said the money went in stock speculation. While it was found that Alvord had speculated, and disastrously, the total of the discoverable losses was insignificant compared with the sum of his stealings. It was also found that he had gambled at Saratoga In the summer, and On gambling-houses in town, and that he lived in Mount Vernon at the rate of about $15,000; a year, whereas his salary was only $5,000; but all these expenditures, together with the stock market losses, did not aggregate anything like $690,000. When pressed to tell what had become of his stealings after his arrest, Alvord said laconically: "Six hundred and ninety thousand dollars is a big lot of money, but it goes mighty easy." OROZCO BOTTLED UP. Report That Federals Will Soon Capture Rebel Leader. El Paso, Tex.—A number of disavowed rebel soldiers are crossing into Texas east of El Paso, according to reports brought here to Mexican federal officials. The rebels quit the command of Pascual Orozco east of here. Mexican federal advices are that Orozco is about to be captured by federal troops, who apparently have him surrounded south of Ojinago, Company I, United States Army'Corps, reached here from Fort D. A.Russell, Wyoming, to establish communication along the Texas, Arizona and New Mexico frontier. Steam Engineers Oppose Plan Proposed By Haywood. St. Paul, Min.—The International Union of Steam Engineers, in convention, here, referred to take cognizance of a general strike as proposed by William T. Haywood, of the Industrial Workers of the World, September 30, as a protest against the incarceration in Lawrence, Mass., of Joseph Ettor and Auror Glovannitt, who, after the textile workers' strike in that city, last what TWO ALLENS TO DIE NOVEMBER 22 Floyd and Son Claude Sentenced By Judge Staples. FATHER ADMITTED SHOOTING. Selects As the Time a Recess In the Trial Of Victor Allen When Crowd Had Left To Get Dinner. Wytheville, Va.→Floyd Allen and Claude Allen, his son, convicted of killing William M. Foster, Commonwealth's Attorney, of Carroll county, and adjudged guilty of murder in the first degree were sentenced by Judge Staples to be electrocuted November 22 next. The imposing of the sentences came as a surprise. It occurred in a recess of the trial of Victor Allen, son of Floyd Allen, when nearly all the spectators and the jurymen had left the courtroom for dinner. Floyd Alleh, who had a leg broken in shooting up the court at Hillsville on March 14, supported himself with crutches while standing to be sentenced. His emotion, though silent, was painful to witness. His son, Claude, as apparently unmoved, appeared uninterested. Half-checked tears came to the eyes of Victor Allen, a son, as he sat in his chair undergoing trial for his life. No other relatives were present. Judge Staples in passing sentence said: "Each of you, by the grand jury of your county, was charged with the murder of four men and one woman, as a result of one plan and one purpose. A court of, justice, sitting for enforcement of law and the protection of society, was in one brief moment almost entirely destroyed. This was done by you and associates. "The Judge, pure in character, steadfast in purpose, incapable of wrong, was shot three times where he sat helpless and undefended; the Commonwealth's Attorney, fearless in his vigorous prosecution of one of you, was shot five times; the Sheriff, in the act of taking you, Floyd Allen, into custody was shot six times, falling where he stood. A juror was shot in his seat and another wounded. One woman was killed and the clerk shot near his desk. "You, Floyd Allen, while in custody of law uttered your defence of its authority. Such defiance was never heard of before in the Virginia courts. As your conduct was of your choice, so the consequence is your own creation. It is really your own hand which writes the judgment of this court. Through your own sincere repentance and mediation of our Saviour may each of you receive mercy unto the measure of a full forgiveness." MADE $1 BILLS INTO $10. Expert Counterfeiter Caught At Rare Game. Washington.—An expert counterfeiter, giving the name of Louis Ragmore, has been arrested in Chicago, according to a report made to secret service headquarters by Captain Porter, of the Chicago district. Ragmore was arrested in his room while at work on a $10 gold certificate. Ragmore's plan was to bleach a $1 bill and convert it into the $10 bill with pen and ink. The counterfeit, according to Chief Wilkle, was hard to detect. Ragmore is said to have turned out about four of these bills a week and circulated them in Chicago since last December. This form of counterfeiting, Chief Wilkle said, is rare, and this is the first of its kind to come up in 10 years. NO RECOGNITION OF REBELS State Department Disapproves Senator Fall's Suggestion. Washington.—The State Department does not approve the suggestion of Senator Fall that the United States reconize the belligerency of the Mexican rebels, that it might act as ampire or mediator. It was said at the department that the rebels held no important towns, had no accredited-head and had failed to follow any set military program. Under the circumstances, it was declared, the revolutionists should be regarded only as rebels against a friendly government. NEGRO BOY LYNCHED. Was Suspected Of Murdering the Daughter Of a Planter. Cumming. Ga.-A mob of 2,000 stormed the jail here, secured a negro boy arrested as a suspect In the murder of a planter's daughter and strung him up in the heart of the town. The murder occurred last week, and the town and nearby country has been in a ferment since. Several arrests have been made in the case. MASSACRE OF ARMENIANS Kurds Again Pillaging and Burning the Villages. Constantinople. The massacre of Armenians by Kurds has been resumed. Two villages in Armenia have been pillaged and 29 of the inhabitants killed. Another village has been destroyed by fire. The local authorities are powerless to preserve order. The people of the disturbed district keep inside houses and foreign consuls are meeting to consider the crisis. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS It is a difficult problem to promote harmony among the flocks when the shepherds are estranged: for then the position of both is jeopardized and open to the attack of the destroyer. In a situation where private interest supersedes every consideration for the public weal, great havoc is wrought through the process; and all contentions which arise within the ranks operate to the detriment of the public good. The bitterness engendered by the pursuit of personal ambition is often destructive to the rights of man—especially in a case where obstinacy controls. There are some efforts purported to be undertaken for the uplift of mankind; but the assets are dangerous weapons in the grasp of determined spirits. Schism when nurtured by the remembrance of past grievances never halts to ponder as to the creation of intolerable conditions, but strides onward in pursuit of those attempts which lead to its designs. No atonement can suffice to remove defeat or compensate for the existence of a ruined cause, when it looks back and meditates upon the mischief it begets. Strenuous pretensions are often indulged supposedly in behalf of the people, but their primary object is to gain advantage and satisfy that unbridled ambition which has risen in all ages in its giant might to trample upon popular privileges. In every age and clime, in every stage of man's career instances are numerous wherein shrewd designers have usurped authority and destroyed the rights of their fellows. No man is so deeply imbued with such angelic disposition as to rise above suspicion in dealing with the personal affairs of his neighbor, nor is he likely to overlook the advantages which might greet his gaze. Time only is required to exhibit each individual in his true colors, to establish his just deserts; and should he be weighed and found wanting, he then relinquishes his claim to public confidence and forfeits his rights to loyalty. Every career, however brilliant, has an end to its existence, and a Waterloo attends the fortune of each worker in whatever sphere he strives. Our antagonist is our helper and the obstacles by which we are confronted tend only to strengthen our endeavors in the prosecution of life's pursuits. Let the negro not despair; for "there is a divinity that shapes our ends, rough-hew them as we may."—Ethiopian Phafanx. There were no negroes on the ill-fated Titanic when she went down in mid-ocean. It develops that none were to be permitted to cross the pond on the majestic liner. One instance where race discrimination was of advantage to the black man. There are many white men in this broad land of ours who are sore on Jim Flynn because he could not land on the championship title in the heavyweight class of the world, and these same people knew that Flynn had as much chance to win as a snowball has to keep from melting on a summer's day in the sunshine. They ought to be tickled to death that he was not put to sleep in the first round, which could have happened with perfect ease if Johnson had desired. Coon songs have invaded musical circles in Germany, and rag time is giving battle to the classical selections of Wagner. It is peculiar how negro music is claiming the affections of music lovers the world over. the annual session of the Texas Negro Business league was held in Palestine, Tex. The program was of must interest. The officers of the league are: R. L. Smith, Waco, president; R. C. Houston, Jr., Fort Worth, first vice president; J. P. Starks, Dallas, second vice president; H.

The St. Luke Herald's editorial comment on Howard university's new president is this: "So, Howard university has another white preacher for president," from which we infer that this sprightly little weekly of Richmond, Va., is among the working number of negroes who are saying aloud that they prefer negro laymen with experience in our educational affairs to head our foremost institutions of learning. Thanks to the fair and broad-minded stand taken by President W. P. Motley of the hospital and health board, and Health Commissioner W. S. Wheeler, negro internes will be retained at the old city hospital in Kansas City, which was remodeled at the expense of $15,000 and turned over to the colored citizens of Kansas City last year. The hospital has a visiting staff of colored and white physicians and surgeons, and although known as a colored institution, an effort was made to displace negro internes by white ones. Our sympathies go out to the people of Haiti in the latest calamity that has befallen them. The national palace was destroyed by a gunpowder explosion, when President Cincinnatus Le Conte and many palace attendants were killed and some 400 people were injured. It appears that President Le Conte had stored large quantities of explosives and arms in the cellars of the palace to be in readiness for a war with his neighbor, Santo Domingo, just across the border, which, it was expected, would break out at any moment. The belief is general that an enemy of the president set a slow match to the magazine and thus got rid of the president, the national palace and the precious magazine in one grand explosion. The presidents of Haiti have a hard time to get the office, and a harder time to keep it. Most, of them die with their boots on, by the act of an assassin, some flee from mob soldier wrath and die in exile, often in poverty, and some are blown up. It does not appear by the record to be a very desirable job to have, and yet there is always a long line of men waiting and plotting their turn at it. A roll call of the presidents of Haiti during the past century reads as solemnly and mournfully as "The Death March in Saul." Alrealy there are plots and rumors of revolution all the way from Port-au-Prince to Paris, by way of St. Thomas and Jamaica, by men ambitious to succeed President Le Conte. There is no hope for the future and stability of Haiti while it is governed by revolution and the impulse to revolution. I needs peaceful administration in order to develop its splendid resource of field, mine and forest, and to educate its children at home instead of in France for the work of construction at home. Can it have such administration and education? We hope so, but here is nothing in the history of Haiti to justify the hope.—New York Age The Charleston (S. C.) Messenger is untiring in its outspoken attitude on all vital questions affecting our people. This excellent weekly newspaper has been doing what it could to champion the cause of the oppressed and the unfortunate for nearly 28 years. Like old time it is constantly improving with age. In many Negro settlements the mouths of some Negro preachers can be heard along the highways during week days like fog-birns on ocean tramps. Men of the profession who make a practice of hanging around postoffices and grocery stores all day engaging in wordy arguments are a blickening disgrace our people. The examples are bad before the young men. How can they muster the nerve to preach against looting and vagrancy when they themselves are no better than loafers? Miners are expected to greet people pleasantly on the highway and to enjoy few moments of pleasant chat together when meeting with one another. It is not against this I raise a protest I am protesting against preachers congregating on corners and in front public places for long-drawn-out blamet, verbal contentions and bee-hawtory telling which many of them indulge in out before the public for hours at a time. The preacher who stops to this sort of conduct is void of ministerial dignity and lacks self-respect. Can't they find a more beneficial pay to occupy their spare time so that their actions before the young will speak louder than their words? The death of Dr. F.

She very just- ly says that women ought to decline to wear this fashionable ornament, since {t can only be procured at thé price of much wanton and cruel bird slaugh- ter. Indevé, Madame Ja marquise, I am entirely of your opinion.

Court Codes. In England, we know that feathers areralmost taboved in court circles, thanks to the personal influence of our two Queens. In France we have no such useful guide, The algrette, like the orchid, represents in the eyes of a certain large class In Paris merely a gauge Gf wealth. You must wear twenty or, thirty- pounds’ worth of feathers on your hat, just as you must have a gold bag in your hand, or a long diamond chaia on your neck, In order to prove your a™luence.

When chronicling the movements of the wheel of fash- jon in Paris, we the chrontclere, hold up a mirror in which each sucessive style Is reflected. Hence, aigrettes, ospreys and para- dise plumes are constantly before our notice. The kind-hearted Marquise is of opinion that ribbons and flowers make up hats quite as prettily as those trimmed with feathers. 1 hard- ly agree with her tn this, but I do think that the manufactured aigrette Is quite as ‘soft and effective as the real, and if vomen steadily refused to buy any other, much good might be done for the cause that Madame de Lomellini-Tabareau has at heart.

Suddenly he sprang to his feet, seized the end of the pump log, dragged Jt over nearer the bank of the creek and with his nose pushed it into the water. The squirrel of course came out as soon as the water reached him, and the dog, springing Into the water, easily caught and killed its prey.

Another reader, Mrs. May Jordan MacDonough of Dubuque, Ia., sends two instances to show that animals do learn by Imitating each other. Bruno and Jeft were two dogs be- longing to the same family.

But Bruno observed that his friend's performances was invariably rewarded with a lump of sugar or oth- er canine luxury. Accordingly, he set himself to do the same tricks, and ina short time, without any human instruction whatever. he could beg. “play dead” and roll over as obedl- ently and successfully as Jeff. The other instance ts that of a cat, ‘Toots by name. Toots was a stray kitten that had been adopted by a charitably disposed family, which al- ready owned a cat named Tom, so old that he had lost all his teeth, and had to hook his food from the plate and carry It to his mouth In bis paw.

We wish take this opportunity to express our thanks to our patrons for the unstinted support during these any years. During the past we have made many improve to our business and have right to a successful consuma the hope which we have long enished, that of moving into our building. We shall continue do our utmost to give our paons a clean, bright and whole paper and trust that the present year will allow us the opportunity of further improving our plant. The near beer saloons and private rooms attached to them are a menace to the well being of our younger set, females especially. These devilish places should be closed up, especially the ones that are located near our halls and churches. Our people as a whole should pay more attention to reforms of this kind. Kindness was beautifully reworked this week when the humm, London Burke, only, who was where he Two dozen over night uncle care for himself or call for aid. Burke reported the matter and for his pains was arrested Quite a reward for kindness. Gen'l Gordon was one of Georgia's most prominent citizens. He died Wednesday of last week in West Virginia. His remains were brought to Savannah Thursday and early the following morning he was buried with simple ceremonies. On the same day one of our colored citizens died in this city. His remains were saved until Sunday afternoon when a big brass band display and parade were had. Compare the two; let us draw a comparison and learn a lasting lesson. The time is ripe for funeral reform. Less display and less expensive funerals should be advocated. As the day for the opening of the public schools of our city approaches nearer and nearer, we feel that it is not out of place to call the attention of parents to the same in order that they may make the necessary arrangement for the sending of their children to school. Provisions should be made in every household that will allow every child of school age to attend a during the ensuing year. It is a duty that each parent goes to each one of his children, and it is also one that cannot be shirked by him without causing a self indictment on his part, of a failure to perform his duty. In this enlightened age, some sort of education is absolutely necessary for the perpetuation of one's self and interest. Any young man or woman going out into the world without even the rudiments of a common school education will find himself very much handicapped in his struggle for success and position. Necessarily he will be left far behind by those in competition with him for survival, who have the educational qualifications to make good. Each parent should see to it that his children begin life on an equal footing with others by giving them the advantages of an education (at least a common school.) "A stitch in time saves nine." An educated man or woman is less prone to the ways of the wicked or criminally inclined than the uneducated. Do not be a party to a crime by allowing your children to grow up in vice and superstition, but see to it that an education worthy to be had is given each one of them. When our public schools opens next month they should be crowded to their very doors with our young people. We sincerely trust that the West Broad, East Broad, Maple, Duffy and Haven Home schools will be taxed to their capacity during the entire ensuing school year.

Editor Tribune, Dear sir: Again, as watchman upon the wall endeavoring to guard each and every interest of our people in this immediate community, and point out to us our short comings, which indeed are many, as well as commend us when we do things which reflect credit upon ourselves, as well as the race, The Tribune as usual came out last week in a strong editorial reprimanding us for our Sunday funeral displays. The attitude taken by you on this evil was very favorably commented upon by all of the right thinking people in this community. The wholesale desecration of the Sabbath, as practiced by us in this regard, should be stopped. On West Broad street from Gaston to Park Avenue a distance of only six blocks, there are seven seperate and distinct congregations whose services are abandoned when one of these big Sunday street parades comes along with the body of a deceased brother or sister whom they have seen fit to keep over from Tuesday or Wednesday of the previous week, so as to have a big, jolly crowd to keep steps to the sweet? music furnished by one of our well trained bands. Yes, Mr Editor, the practice is wrong, and those of us who engage in it should be made to feel that it is wrong. I am sure that the Editor of The Tribune nor any other fair minded persons in this community or else where attaches any blame, whatever to the bands that are hired and well paid (so I am told) to give these big Sunday parades, but that all condemnation should be brought to bear upon the organizations that insist on having such unnecessary display at Sunday funerals is the universal opinion of every intelligent person among us. The show and noise connected with Sunday band funerals are a most manifest sign of ignorance and the day is now at hand when a stop should be put upon them. Therefore, it is up to our recognized leaders, the ministry, to break up this growing evil. Waycross Dots St. Peters church held their regular pastorial day services on Sunday, Rev.

Perry Superintendent A. B. SINGFIELD General Superintendent CLAPTRAP BY UNDERWOOD HIS ADDRESS SHOULD BE READ Workers Will Recognize His Distortion * of Figures and Facts and Will Not -Be,Beguiled by It—Shows How Hard Pushed the Democrats Are For an Argument. It Is to be hoped that every Ameri- can worker in the various industries protected by the tariff will regd the address of Mr. Underwood, Democrat- tc leader in the house of representa-. tlves, in which he sets forth as taxa- tion the tariff duties on articles in ordinary use. There fs nothing novel in the Underwood distortion of tariff gures and facts. It is as threadbare as free trade, as threadbare as the American workingman would soon be if he should allow himself to be beguil- ed by Underwood and other votaries of the late Confederate constitution into the surrender of Republican pro- tection. It {s true, as Underwood says, that the tariff taxes he descrives are im- posed on articles such as he describes —woolen clothing, shoes, the tin pail, window pane, carpet, ete, but he is wholly and deliberately wrong and misleading when he cays that the du- ties in questton are !mposed on or ad- ded to the cost of these articles, as used in the ordinary American family. The tariff tax 1s imposed on goods manufactured abroad and imported for sale in competition with goods made in America by American workers earning American wages. The man or woman who Is satisfied with the product of American labor— and nine-tenths of the American people are so satisfied—has no teriff tax to pay, and this {s shown by the fact that the American article, with its manu- facture fostered by protection, is often cheaper in price than the imported would be without paring tariff duties. The tariff duties prevent excessive imports, which would flood the mar- kets, as imported goods flooded the market, under the tariff reductions made by the Democratic Wilson bili of 1894, reducing not only the tariff, but reducing also the demand for Ameri- can goods and for American labor to make American goods. Mr. Underwood's statement is cheap’ claptrap. We had supposed that style ef talk too muddy and cobwebbed for further exercise, and the fact that it is again dragged out of the discard proves how hard pushed the free trade Dem- ocracy is for something to bolster its waning cause. FAIRNESS TOWARD NEGROES ‘Taft's Attorney General Stands for the “Square Deal.” Attorney General Wickersham — re- flects the broad American spirit of himself and his chief, President Taft, in -his splendid fight against the dropping from membership in the American Bar association ‘of his ablé colored assistant, Willlam H. Lewis, It is needless to say that every sup- porter of Woodrow Wilson and every sympathizer with Theodore Roosevelt fn his refusal to recognize the citizen- ship of the soutbern negro, 1s opposed to Mr. Wickersham in his battle for equal rigbts and fair treatment for colored Americans. The action of the executive commit- tee of the Bar association in revok- ing the election of three colored mem- bers, gentlemen of spotless profession- al standing and excellent personal character, by their local committees; was outrageously, cruelly unjust and ought to be repudiated by every reputable lawyer in the United States. It was a concession to that southern Democratic prejudice which reeks to crush the spirit of manly aspiration in the negro’s breast and to tolerate him only as a laborer on the planta- tions and for the households where his anceftors were slaves. It amounts to an attempt to nullify the constitution of the United States, as amended after the rebellion, by men whose sacred obligation and welcome duty it should be to eupport that instrument in thelr every act as lawyers and,as citizens. In their resolute bachthg of Assist- ant Attorney General Lewis against the assaults of rank Bourbonism ‘and racial prejudice, President Taft and his attorney general have the sod- speed of every American who believes in the principles for which Lincoln @ied, and who is determined that the sacrifices which the nation offered up on the altar of freedom and equal rights for all shall not hare been made tn vain.

Bryan and Parker were both elected in Av- gust and buried under a snowstorm of ballots in November, and Wilson 1s jhurrying to the same snow ‘pile. WILSON WOULD REPEAL ALL PROTECTIVE TARIFF LAWS. The following is taken from an address delivered by Pro- Sessor Woodrow Wilson before the tariff board in 1882, showing his view then on the quest.on ‘of the tariff and the distinct an- nouncement of his position as a free trader, opposed to all tariffs except merely for the pur- pose of raising revenue: “But the danger’ of imposing protective duties Is that wher the policy {s once embarked upon it cannot be easily receded from. Protection is nothing more than a bounty, and when we offer bounties to manufactur- ers they will enter into indus- tries and build up interests and when at a later day we seek to overthrow this protective tariff we must hurt: somebody and of course there 1s objection. They will say, ‘Thousands of men will be thrown out of employment and hundreds of people will lose their capital.’ This seems very plausible; but I maintain that manufacturers are made better“ manufacturera whenever they are thrown upon their own re- sources and left to the natural competition of trade.” oe 8 ee te “Protection also binders ccm- merce immensely. The English people do not send tas many goods to this country as they would if the duties were not #o much and in that way there Is a restriction of commerce and we are building up manufactor- tes here at the expense of com- merce. ‘We are holding our- selves aloof from foreign coun- tries in effect and saying, ‘We are sufficient to ourselves; we wish to trade, not with England, but with each other.” I main- tain that It {s not only a per- nicfous system, but a corrupt system. “By Commissioner Garland: "Q. Are you advocating the re- peal of all tariff laws? “A. Of all protective tariff’ laws; of establishing a tariff for. revenue merely. It seems to me very absurd to maintain that we shall have free trade between different portions of this country and at the same time shut our- selves out from free communica- tion with other producing coun- tries of the world. If it is neces- sary to impose restrictive duties on goods brought from abroad it would seem to me as a matter of logic, necessary to impose similat restrictions on goods taken from one state of this, Ynion to another. That follows ap & Becessary consequence: there is no escape from it.” HAS CHANGED AS CANDIDATE Woodrow Wilson's Speeches Now Those of Office Seeker. Scattered among the platitudes of Dr. Wilson's speech of acceptance are some truths. None is more significant than this: * “We stand in the presence gf an awakened nation, impatient of partisan make believe.” Following which he makes believe that he is telling the voters of the coun- try his position on the campaign issues. No one has yet been able‘to determine from a reading of the speech precisely what that position is. Some slight en- lightenment comes from time to time in his later utterances, like, for ex- ample, the declaration the other day that Tammany {s to be safe from his assaults; but none of it Is satisfying. Dr. Wilson, In the preconvention days, was represented to the country as a scholarly “gentleman, too lofty of mind to practice the wiles of the pro- fessional politician, too earnest In the cause of 500d government to be aught but frank and fearless in his expres- sion, towunselfish to-put private ambi- tion above the public weal, foo idealis- tic in character to truckle to the forces of evil in the nation, But how singularly he has masked all of these qualities’ since William Jennings Bryan forced his nomination at Baltimore. * There {s no difference, save in the purity of the English, between his speeches and thé speeches of the pro- fessional office seeker of the worst period in American politics. He steps pussy footed over all the large ques- tions of the day. He exhibits a eus- piciously broad tolerance for all ele- ments in°the body politic, even the elements which. to nominate him Bry- an found it expedient to denounce by name in the convention. There is none of the rugged frankness of ut- terance that characterized bis writings in the days before he was inoculated with the virus of political ambition. He is proving over apt as an advanced student of practical politics. It {s not a pleasant nor a heartening exhibition he makes of himself. The right minded citizen can feel nothing but sadness in contemplating a man of education and culture so intent upon partisan and personal victory that he sacrifices thore ideals of truth and honesty for which he has always stood to fawn upon and honeyfugle the voters. Dr. Wilson as a candidate is not in character with the Dr. Wilson that was pictured to us prior to the Balt!- more convention. This “awakened na- tion, impatient of partisan make be lieve,” detects the difference, “THE SCUM OF THE EARTH” : * RR, “ 3 Ri SS - | ae rN 5 E BA EI} Ke WE ‘ 5 Sa a Eth SNS OR he te Te ‘ cor 2 Bee. ww ee PE SG. ae ye Re Ss ae Ss ee a Se Pes oe" —— ea St! . : ae vet sarreene\s THE- PRESIDENT SIGNED .MOST WILLINGLY ‘The industrious circulation of thé falsehood that President Taft threatened a veto of the Sulloway bill was one of the chief plays of his opponents and worked some infury to his popularity, as his adversaries had planned. That there was no, truth in this every senator, representative and other public man could have known if he cared to inquire. “Yet {t was a good enough Morgan till after the nontination.” . “Now these same men are with equal industry and untruth circulating the report that President Taft signed the act of May 11 most unwillingly and was only coerced into {t at the last moment. Nothing could be more untrue. There had been an overwhelming popular demand for addittonal pension legislation. The people were most“earnest in thelr wish that the veterans who had saved the nation should be properly cared for during the years that re- mained to them. The national encampment of. the Grand Army of the Re- public had asked for such legislation. The remarkable fact of the indorsement cf the Sulloway bill by the legislatures of twenty-seven states was an astonishing development of depth and wide extended feeling on the subject. Could any president be expected to disregard such a manifestation? Cer- tainly not William H. Taft, whose great heart has always appreciated the service of the veterans and who has ever been quichly responsive to the popular will, No one doubted at the beginning of congress that he intended toapprove a pension bill. This knowledge had to be used with the utmost discretion, how- ever. The presidential campaign was opening. There was a general expecta- tion that the Democrats would make a strong effort to “put the president and the senate in a hole” on the pension question. The fear was not allayed until within a few days of the passage of the act of May 11. This required the greatest circumspection on the part of the president and his friends. But as soon as the act of May 11 began to take shape In the senate and months be- fore it actually passed there was no real doubt that the president would sign the bill which would be finally,formulated. At the invitation of senators I was a constant visitor to the capitol while the bill was going through Its various stages. I was also made a mears of communication with the memters of the Invalid pensions committee of the house. With me went most frequently Past Commander In Chief John R. King, “less frequently Past Commander Slaybaugh of Potomac, Commander E. S. Godfrey, Arizona; Commander Granville C. Fiske, Massachusetts; Com- mander N.H. Kingman, South Dakota; Commander N. P. Kingsley, Pennsyl- vania, and other prominent comrades who happened to be in the city and whom the senators wanted to see and counsel with, We met Senators Crane, McCumber. Curtis, Smoot, Burnham and others of the president's closest friends and advisers. They were confident in their as- surances that the president would sign the bill The comrades named felt no doubt of the result at least two months before the bill was signed. As we all know, President Taft put himself to great personal inconvenience in order to sign the bill and let it begin at once its beneficence to the veterans. The bill was not ready for his signature when he left for Princeton, X. J. He made the journey back to Washington expressly to sign the bill. He reached the White House a little before 11 p.m., Saturday, May 11, a‘fixed his signature seven minutes before midnight and had to leave Washington again the next day. Of these facts I was personally cognizant,as I was present when the bill was signed. JOHN M'ELROY, Editor National Tribune. I fully concur in the foregoing. There {s absolutely no truth in the statement that the president was op- posed to any pension bill. On the contrary, we were assured, as stated above, that he would give his apprpval to the bill when finally passed,’ which was evidenced by his hasty return to Washington for the purpose, JOHN R. KING. <=Bvom ‘the National Tethune, ae. eon aie \ ON ane Atl TTT a Be fae App, /, PONS ZS 2 af ii) ome « AY yf aes i By {ih fee epee Yj BC ese Yi, oem, ag ie ics, eed PR By riser ear Re ered S60 Ta Ai a ones Keel oreo Ia OL, gx ee) ia Ss ESI L//AXe )) SR MORIN.

SPEAK OUT!” Democratic Stomachs Revolt Against Wlison-Marshall Mush. “Speak out! Speak out!” is the al- most desperate cry of the New York World, the newspaper chiefly re- sponsible for the nomination of Wood: row Wilson in 1912, as it was for the nomination of Alton B. Parker in 1904. Day after Gay, it seems, the World has been waiting with ears to the windward for some point, some virile, vital expression from its latest presidential Jack out of the box on questions of the hour, some solid positive utterance by the candidate, which it could grab and lay about with as a campaign shillelah, It has waited in yain. Hounded periods of dreary drivel, pedagogical common- places that might have come out of a third reader and which had about as much relation to issues of the cam- paign as “It 1s a sin to steal a pin™ has to Metropolitan opera, have been fed to curious crowds and to editors waiting with whetted pens for red hot meteors of inspiration. Disappointment and disgust are not confined to the World office. » “We asked you for bread and you gave us a stone” {s paraphrased jn Democratic sentiment by “We asked you for meat and you gave us mush.” Nause- ated with Wilson they turned to Mar- shall only to find bim-as aperient of vacuous platitudes as his coadjutor. It’s a hopeless appeal. As well try to seize the elusive tall of a greased pig ata county fair as expect to get anything definite out of Wilson. He was definite enough when he said in his “History of the American Peo- ple” that “the Chinese are more to be desired as workmen, Sf not as citl- zene,” than “the coarse crew crowding in at eastern ports"—that {s, immi- grants from Europe. He was definite enough in saying’ in the same book that congress had “dealt very harshly” in passing the law excluding Chinese from the United States. He was def- nite enough in denouncing immigrants from Poland, Hungary and Italy. Evidently Wilson can speak out if he wants to, and the inference Is that he is afraid to. On the Issue of a navy powertul enough to defend the interests and uphold the honor of the United States he !s silent for fear of offending the Democratic majority in congress opposed to strengthening the navy. On the tariff he is, to quote an old comparison, “nelther a man, nor a mouse, nor a long talled rat,” but more like one of those ancfent Egyp- tian monstrasitles carved on the mum- my cases, with heads looking contrari- wise. On one point he is definite—he wants to be president, and he deesn’t care much how he gets there. He is willing to slosh through a Fea of bosh to the White House; and now that he has the nomination he counts upon the world and the rest of the whang- doodles to follow, whether they like his style or not. Perhaps ther will, notwithstanding grimaces of disgust and protesting cries to speak out. But the people—they want a man for president. “PLAYING THE GAME.” Truly, President Taft.Does Not Follow . System Politically, - That is a criticism often heard of President Taft. It ts the professional politician usually who voices ft, but often it {s repeated by those who are accustomed to take their estimates of public men and their political opinions from others. . Playing the game has been the occu- pation of time serving politicians from time immemorial. Men who regard politics as a game like to see it played deftly. Other men without fixed ideas on the subject parrot the criticism passed by the experts. Playing the game in politics neces- sarily has deceit as its fundamental principle. The public man who sees develop ing an issue that might prove embar- *rassing to him personally, and who manages, by guile, to divert public at- tention to another, a Jesser, but a per- fectly safe, issue, plays the game. The public man wha makes public protestations of his enmity toward swollen wealth and then holds secret conferences with the representatives of that wealth, plays the game. The public man who preaches one code of political morality and prac: tees another plays the gamer The public man who utters sounding but empty phrases, no matter how de- lightful his diction or how superb his eloquence, plays the game. The public man who makes promises impossible of fulfillment plays the game. i The public man who puts the ac- quirement of public favor above ideals of public service plays the game. Truly, President Taft does not know how to play the game. He has been geared in an atmos- phere of service rather than politics, ‘as we have come to know poligics. The thing that has always concerned him is the doing of an act, Bot the spec- tacular staging of it, nor the explolta- tion of it, nor, cn the contrary, the concealment of it. To serve has always been his Sdeal, not merely to acquire the appearance of serving. It has been impossible for him to took upon public service as a game. ‘The public's business, as he regards it, is serlous business. There $s reason for the belief that the American people as a whole share with him this view. The growing in- telligence of the nation is rejecting the {dea that the selection of their pubic gervants is merely a sporting proposition.” WHERE THE CASH IS COMING FROM Women Work at Night to Finance . Roosevelt Campaign. AWFUL FACTORY CONDITIOKS New York State Investigating Commit tee Found Pale, Worn Women Work- Ing In Twine Manufacturing Con- cern Owned by the International Harvester Company. ‘Awful conditions have been found by the state factory investigating com- mittee of New York in the mills of the Osborne Twine company, No. 3, at Au- burn, N. ¥., owned “by the Interna tional Harvester company, of which George W. Perkins, chief Snanctal backer of Theodore Roosevelt in bis scheme to ruin the Republican party, is a director. “The appearance of the women workers in this plant,” said a member of the committee, “was very dis- heartening. They were worn and pale and their clothes, faces and hands were covered with oll and hemp cloth. Many of these worsen, so called, are only children in age and they have to lug huge piles of hemp, weighing 150 pounds each, across the floor, the load In some cases being bigger than the *omenythemeelves. In the spin- ning room, where women are employ> ed alone, to the exclusion of men, who would have to receive higher wages, the clatter of machinery is so fright ful that a voice below a’ shriek cannot be heard. The rooms are dark, though for no necessary cause, and no at tempt is made to remove the dust, which fs kept in constant motion by the line shaftings despite the require- ments of the law. This dust is breathed continuously by,,the women, many of whom coniplain of chronic coughs and colds. The dust and dirt are so thick upon the clothes of the girls that at the noon hour—which in many cases consists of but a few minutes—and at the close of the day's or night's labor, the girls have tq sweep each other clean with brooms.” It is further stated that the custom of working the women all night is permanent, married women being se- lected for night work, their hours be- ing from sundown until 6:30 o'clock 1n the: morning. Of 400 women em plosed in the mills, 200 work all night. When George W. Perkins was asked by a New York Times reporter for an explanation of the conditions in @n establishment of which he Is oné-of the directors, he made, in part, the following remarkable reply: “This night work has been rendeyed neces- sary largely because of the govern- ment’s perfectly unreasonable attitude toward large corporations. which’ has made {t impossible for managers of large concerns to hnow whether they were, on foot or horseback, whether they could expand theirSplans to keep up with increasing demands or not.” The late Mark Twain in bis” bright est moments never uttered anything more grimly humorous than the fore- going explanation by George W, Per- kins of why the company of which he is a director is werking women all night under the frightful conditions disclosed by the New York state fac- tory investigating committee, Meantime it ought to be of interest to millions of Republicans throughout the United States to, know where the money comes from ta finance Theo- dore Roosevelt in, his campaign of “rule or ruin.” BOUGHT HIS SOCKS IN SCOTLAND.

CAUSE OF TERROR Vagaries About Lightning Without Reason. Although It Causes Fewer Violent Deaths Than Any Other Foe of American, It Is Feared Most Washington.—Terror of lightning is mostly morbid. If you are obsessed with such a fear, Uncle Sam's statisticians can comfort you with the assurance that the average citizen of the United States is ten times more likely to be murdered than to be killed by a thunderbolt; eleven times, more likely to be shot dead, through malice or accident; twelve times more likely to die of heat or sunstroke, twenty-eight times more likely to die of burns or scalds, thirty-four times more likely to be drowned. Only about 276 people in our land are annually put to death by Jove's fiery darts. Of course the death rate from this cause varies from year to year. It was above the average in 1909, and even heavier in 1906. Some astronomers believe that the severity of thunderstorms is increased by sun spots, others that it varies with the phases of the moon, but meteorologists generally deny these theories. They agree that your danger from the celestial artillery depends principally upon the locality in which you live, and your shelter at the time of the storm. The weather bureau, by careful observation and tabulation, discovers our zone of greatest danger from lightning to include an irregular area of the east, covering all the Atlantic coast states from Massachusetts to Virginia, inclusive, and biting inland until it takes in southern Vermont, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana and eastern Illinois. Thunderstorms therein are more fatal though less frequent than in the Gulf states. If you wish to escape thunderstorms almost entirely, pitch your tent upon the Pacific slope, where such storms are practically unknown. Or, if required to dwell within the danger zone, select for your castle a house in the midst of a city block with continuous tin roofs connected to well anchored waterspouts. The fact that lightning annually strikes four times as many people of outdoor occupations as people in general emphasizes the wisdom of keeping indoors during such disturbances. But if caught in the open bear in mind that you are far safer in the dense heart of a wood than at its outskirts, and that the shelter of a single tree is particularly treacherous, especially if near the edge of a body of water, even a ditch. But if you must be near a tree, seek the companionship of the beech, which is struck least often of all, and avoid particularly the oak, which attracts lightning more than any other. The oak is hit fifty-seven, the fir thirty-nine and the pine five times as often as the beech. Avoid above all else a tree or other shelter where-under a group of men or beasts are huddled together. While in the shadow of the thunderhead, monarch of all clouds, be exclusive. The weather bureau also warns you against doorways, particularly of barns and stables; also a house connected with a metallic clothes line. While successful in tabulating the destructive and fatal effects of lightning and, by deduction, formulating such common-sense rules as the above, our weather bureau, in common with other great meteorological institutions, finds the force behind the flery cannon balls and projectiles of Jupiter Pluvius too illusive and vagarious to be reduced to law. For years the bureau has been gleaning from all parts of the world reports describing the eccentricities of this awe-inspiring phenomenon, of which Flammarion has said: "It is like an elementary spirit, eccentric or rational, clever or silly, farseeing or blind, headstrong or indifferent, passing from one extreme to the other. It wriggles through space, it moves among men with surprising agility, appearing and disappearing like lightning." But the most weird of all lightning pranks on record is that of killing a man and leaving him standing erect, as in life. Such a phenomenon was lately reported by a Canadian observer, C. Baillarge, who near Beaumont saw a man struck by a thunderbolt while walking in a field. Although dead, he remained motionless, standing with one foot in front of the other in the attitude of taking a step. PRESIDENT FOR A DAY. In the talk about electing presidents of the United States it is recalled that Senator David Rice Atchison of Clay county, Mo., claimed the unique distinction of holding the office of president of the United States for one day. The terms of office of President James K. Polk and of Vice-President George M. Dallas terminated by limitation on Saturday night at midnight, March 4, 1849. Gen. Zachary Taylor, Polk's successor, was not inaugurated until Monday, March 5, 1849. Senator Atchison was at the time president pro tem of the United States senate: The expiration of vice-President Dallas' term left a vacancy to which Senator Atchison instantly succeeded. This made him ex-officio vice-president of the United States, but at the same instant there was likewise a vacancy in the presidential office, to which in turn Atchison instantly succeeded.

"If there were a retirement law for the clerks employed by Uncle Sam in the various departments at Washington, the civil service would not be cluttered up by a small army of aged and inefficient clerks," said W. R. Hayes, former congressman from Nebraska, the other day. "As it is now, no head of a department or bureau chief will discharge, a man or woman who has been a faithful worker for 30 years or more, because old age has impaired the usefulness of the employe. As a result, there are hundreds, if not thousands, who are kept on the rolls merely as a matter of humanity. If dismissed they would in many instances be thrown upon the charity of the world, for it is utterly out of the question that private employment could be obtained for them. The stupidity of the clerks themselves has been one of the chief reasons why a liberal retirement law has failed of passage for all these years. The clerks can never agree on any policy among themselves. Many of them obstinately contend that the government has no right to withhold a dollar of their salaries to go into a pension fund for retired clerks, ignoring the recognized improvidence of that large per cent. of employees who never save a penny of their salaries, it would be an act of beneficence toward this class if a portion of their wages was regularly retained. "Unquestionably, it would be cheaper for the government to give a pension outright to those whose faculties are decayed, and to put young and vigorous people in the place of the superannuated. Every other first-class nation in the world save the United States has some kind of pension scheme for its civil servants, that of Canada, especially, being a model." MICROBE LOST HOPE. A lonely microbe, disheartened and ready to die because the public health service is rapidly putting all his ilk where they can do humanity no harm, peeked over the edge of Assistant Surgeon General George Rucker's desk the other day and heard the doctor humming a ditty that went like this: "A fly and a flea, a mosquito and a louse, all lived together in a very dirty house. The flea spread the plague and the skeeter spread the chills. All louse spread typhus, too. Folks in bills. The fly spread typhoid and the louse spread typhus, too. Folks in that house were a mighty sickly crew. Along came a man and he cleaned up the house. He screened out the skeeters and swatted the louse. The fly and the flea he cracked on the wall. Now the people in that house are never sick at all." "Well," piped up the microbe, "that's all right as far as it goes, but it strikes me you've been a bit partial in this thing. How about the bedbug? Where does he get off?" "He's going to get off pretty quick," returned the doctor. "So far the bedbug has been able to prove an alibi, but I've put the sanitary detective on his trail and I'll get him yet." Whereupon the microbe, seeing the jig was up, committed suicide by jumping into the inkwell. 11,221,624,084 CIGARETTES. If cigarette smoking is as deadly as some of the antis make out, this country will soon be inhabited exclusively by imbeciles. During the fiscal year 1912, the tidy number of 11,221,621,084 cigarettes was smoked in this country, an average of about 128 for every man, woman and child. Inasmuch as not all men and women and few children before the walking age smoke cigarettes, the average consumption for those who do is considerably larger than 128. This eleven billion odd is an increase of two billions over the consumption of 1911, and Secretary MacVeagh and his department officials confess they cannot explain this vast jump. LIGHT HOUSEKEEPING DISCON- CONTINUED. Secretary Franklin MacVeagh will not permit any more chafing dish parties in the Treasury building. The noonday parties, the daily teas and dainty hot luncheons have been discontinued. For many years clerks of the treasury have made-merry over the chafing dish at noon, but there will be no more of that and everybody will have to go out to get lunch. The sanitary committee of the department recommended that the secretary have the little eating parties discontinued and all cooking utensils removed. $ ^{4} $ Light housekeeping in Uncle Sam's money chest is a thing of the past. Driving an Alligator. Using a child's toy wagon and allowing himself to be drawn about by an alligator, is one of the queer methods adopted by a German sportsman to win a wager, says Popular Mechanics. He claimed in a conversation with a friend that there were no less than 10,000 methods of locomotion, and in the dispute that followed he wagered that he could prove it. The bet was taken up by the friend and a trip around the world was undertaken to try out all the various kinds of transportation, and incidentally to devise some new ones. The alligator stunt was carried out at the alligator farm at Los Angeles, Cal. Wagg—Quite natural! there are more people worrying than working. COLD-BLOODED SLAUGHTER HAS STIRRED ALL MEXICO. More Than Two Hundred Rebel Suspects Are Lined Up Against Adobe Wall and Shot to Death Without a Trial. Mexico City.—Proofs of one of the most horrible massacres of innocents ever recorded in any country pretending to the usages of civilization were received at the office of the ministry of war the other day when the announcement was officially made that 214 human beings had been ruthlessly slaughtered in the name of the law at Puruandiro, State of Michoacan, in revenge for an attack made on the city by rebels a few weeks ago. Although every effort was made to keep the facts from the public as well as from the government, letters and telegrams of protest were received by President Madero indicating that the Prefect of Puruandiro, Angel Loza, had been crazed by a thirst of blood and at his orders all the prisoners suspected of rebellious tendencies had been herded in a corral and shot down in cold blood. Orders instantly were given by President Madero, that a rigid investigation of the facts be made at once and that all persons responsible for the massacre should be arrested and held for trial. According to the information received at the War Office the carnage was the result of denunciations made by former rebels, who for a consideration agreed to point out the culprits who were engaged in looting the city, the details of which were published exclusively in the Times, a few days later. Irregular soldiers acting under the orders of Prefect Loza were sent in every direction looking for the criminals and those who were unable to prove their innocence of all complicity were immediately thrust into the city jail which as a result soon became overcrowded with suspects. With no provision for the accommodation of such a large number of prisoners, the unfortunates became desperate with hunger and enforced servitude until their cries of anguish are said to have irritate the Prefect until his wrath was changed into a form of frenzy. Almost without warning, twenty-two of the most noisy prisoners were marched into the patio and at a signal from the official in charge all were shot down in cold blood before they had a chance to either escape or fight for their lives. It is admitted as a fact that the blood of these victims trickled under the doorways and threw the populace into a state panic that almost resulted in a riot in front of the prison. Unable to appease the indignant citizens, the Prefect is alleged to have then ordered the massacre of every person suspected of sympathizing with the uprising and company after company of helpless prisoners were led before their executioners and shot down without, further ceremony. It has been established as a fact that the butchery was not entirely confined to men alone and at least two bootblacks believed to have stolen a few trinkets when the city was raided, also were killed. Several prominent residents of the city called upon the Prefect and attempted to dissuade hlm from following such a bloody course but without avail and the callers were told to make themselves scarce if they did not wish to court a similar fate. A few hours later, it is claimed by eyewitnesses, many of the relatives of the protestants were taken prisoners and subsequently lined up against the dobe wall. Overcome by fear the populace kept silence and the affair probably would never have been made public had not a public-spirited citizen sent a letter to the government asking for an investigation. In order to make the massacre still more horrible, it is charged that Loza ordered a list of victims printed and placed at the portals of the cemetery, where all might read. 44444 WORM DIET FATTENS DOG Canine Grows Sleek Ridding Tomato Field of Pests—May Be an Epicure. Fulton, Mo.—A dog owned by J. B. Britts, north of Fulton, may be an epicure, as far as tastes go in the canine family, but Britts and his neighbors have a different name for his gastronomic preferences. It all comes about through the dog's fondness for big green worms that inhabit the Britts' tomato fields. Britts operates a canning factory and this season put all of his land into use for growing tomatoes. About the only objection he saw to the catup business was the thought of keeping the patches free from the green worms that regularly infest the tomato plants. With him, however, it was counting troubles before they arrived, for when he anticipated a rush of the worms to his patches and went about looking for them it was a repetition of the cupboard scene in Mother Hubbard—there was none. But, unlike the dog in that nursery jingle, the dog "got his." According to the neighbors, the dog dotes on the green worms as a diet and spends his time in the tomato patches taking care of the vines. The fat, sleek appearance of the canine is ample proof he thrives on his meals of worms. WADIES.

The fact that, Masonry is ot ancient origin is not the primal cause of its greatness. To claima pace for Mason- Fy solely for its having lived in the ages past would be as sheer folly as to exalt A fool simply because he came from a noble ancestry The resson that Ma- sonry has survived the by-gone cen- turies is because its hol,’ principles have gone down the corndors of time ttving hope and kindling love in the aching hearts of men — Just so Jong as Masonry helps _ the weak, comforts the widow and dries the tear drop upon the cheek of the orphan, just. so long will the light of eternal youth glitter upon its majestic brow.—The Trestle Board. PROPRIETIES OF THE LODGE All the ceremoniais of Masonry, when properly performed are of a very dignified and_ impressive character. From the opening sound of the gavel inalodge of Entered Apprentices, to the sheathing of swords in 2 comman- dery of Knights Templars, there is not a single ceremony performed, word ut- tered, or, instruction given ‘that was not desigfied to produce a good ettect. There is no time nor place for indulging in levity, jesting, or any “tree and easy.’' “go as you please” sort of per- formance. Thisis especially the case while initiating a candidate into any degree of Masonry. He should be treated with the greatest politeness and respect from the time he first enters the preparation room until he has re- ceived the final charge and is seated as a member. When this is done the im- pression made upon the neophyte is al- ways good, and his favorable opinion of Masonry, conceived before he knock- ed at the door of a lodge, is fully sub- stantiated He enters upon his new sphere of life with zeal, and with bright anticipations of happiness in the society of those who now surround him, and with a full assurance that in becoming a Mason he makes no mistake. Thus the body into which he has entered is strengthened and the whole institution is benefitsd,—Masgnic Advocate, : OUR MOTTO: First Class Material and Workmanship ‘LET US DO YOUR__sem. zx, coe Shoe Repairing eo Wehaye Neat and WELB FITTED Shoe shop.

SCATTERING SUNSHINE The ‘badge of a true Mason is mace manifest in his daily life; in his rever- ence for Deity, his love of his neighbor and fellowmen and the example he sets for his brothers. All through these de- grees you are taught that Masonry should’ exemplify toleration, harmony, peace, brotherly love, justice, forbear- ancé and doing good {o your fellowman. A celebrated German writer has given usa story which uponthis occasion may not be inappropriate. A man, rough in garb, rude in speech, fierce in manner was walking the highway, 2 sort of hu- mau monster, when across his path came a beautiful child, golden-haired, innocent ard sweet. The monster in a ‘coarse yoice said, “What are you doing here?” Our little maid, being armed with love, was not afraid, and auswer- ing said, “I am scattering sunshine.” When Io! the monster in darkness fled, My friends, this little child wasa Mason. bound not by that which binds us more, her acts. She was doing good. Let us do good. _ Imprint your ideas upon wood, they will rot, engrave them upon bross tablets they will be effaced by erosion of the elements and time; build 2 mighty structure, it will crum- ble into dust. But work upon the minds and hearts of your fellowmen, imbue them with correct principles, and engrave upon those tablets something which neither the elements or time can dim, something that will act as a beacon- light upon the shores of that beautizul land where are no storms and where the rainbow never fades. The highest duties of a Mason are to scatter sun- shine in the paths that all humanity treads; and where sunshine is, there is light, where light is there is love; love, duty, every noble aspiration of the hu- man heart, And where all these emo- tions dwell, there dwels close to the grace of God, the honor of men, happi- fess awd sweet content—George M. ‘Shelley, 82nd, Kansas City, Mo. _ SAVANNAH PHARMACY Lee Chemical Co., Props. | The Only Megro Drug | Store in the City. | a . eo AFUMULine Of _& | FRESH DRUGS, TOILET ARTIChES Cigars, Delicious Creams, Sherbets and Sodas THE ONLY PLACE IN TOWN TO GET __ Dr. King’s New Bfood and Rheumatism Remedy AND LEE’S.LUNG EMULSION 81x West Broad St. Phone 3570 | .
