VOLUME XXVIII Capt. R. J. Davant Elected Mayor Capt. R. J. Davant Elected Mayor WON BY MAJORITY THREE HUNDRED VOTES OVER OPPONENT Four Walker Aldermen Elected —Davant Men Make Early Rush for Polls—Interest in Election Most Intense—Many Apply for Appointments Perhaps not in the history of local politics was there ever such intense interest manifested as was shown last Tuesday when Capt. R. J. Davant and eight of his twelve candidates for Aldermen were elected. Capt Davant's majority over Capt. George P. Walker was 304 votes. The result of the fierce conflict that was waged during the entire day was quite a surprise to the Walker men whose confidence in their ability to carry the election was unbroken even in the face of the overwhelming vote which was cast against them during the first two hours the polls were open. During the late afternoon as the hours for the closing of the polls drew near neither side would concede that the other had won, each claiming a victory, and it was not until several hours after the closing time at the polls that definite word was received that the Davant forces had triumphed. Although this election has been one of the hardest fought in years and the crowds in and around the court house all day were keyed up to a very high pitch, yet good order was maintained, there being but a few slight brushes which amounted to very little and were scarcely noticed. In order to convey the voters who could not spare much time away from their work to the court house each side used about a dozen automobiles which were kept busy until late in the afternoon. At the approach of each car load of voters the crowds around the court house who would recognize them as Walker or Davant adherents by the large placards attached to the car would break out in a deafening yell. The arrival of each car was the signal for a hearty welcome from one side or the other. Adhering to the plan which has been found profitable in former elections both factions sought to get an early advantage by voting their men as quickly after the polls opened as possible. In this respect the Davant forces responded more readily to the call of their leaders and in the first hour of the balloting their voting was about two to every one which the Walker men put in. However the advantage which they gained in this way was gradually cut down and by two o'clock in the afternoon the race seemed to be evenly waged. The aldermanic race was very interesting. Eight of the twelve Davant aldermen were successful, four of the twelve being defeated. Now that the election is over there are several positions among the colored people which will be filled. These are: two city physicians and the keeper of Laurel Grove cemetery. The position of city physician pays $750.00 per year and it is understood that there are seven applicants for the positions. The present incumbents, Dr. P. E. Love and Dr. C. B. Tyson, it is understood, are going to make a bid to succeed themselves. Aside from these those whose names have been mentioned for the places are: Dr. F. S. Belcher, Dr. B. W. S. Daniels, Dr. C. C. Middleton, Dr. Geo. W. Smith and Dr. I. D. Williams. The position of keeper of Laurel Grove cemetery is also one which is receiving much recognition at this time and at least four persons have been spoken of as applying for the position: The present incumbent is Mr. Henry Willis. The successful aldermanic candidates were: Pierpoint 3,121 Wright 3,059 Schroder 3,048 Daniel 3,040 Foy 3,024 Livingston 3,009 Williamson 3,009 Slater 3,001 Elton 2,984 Pigman 2,971 Kayton 2,930 Grimshaw 2,926 The Savannah Tribune THE HISTORY OF THE HOLY TRANSITION The above is the cut of the Old Jerusalem Baptist church, this city. This was the first Negro Baptist church organized in North America. The church was established on the 20th of January in the year 1788. It was built on the site now occupied by the First Bryan Baptist church, Bryan street. Shortly after the establishment of the church the name was changed to the First Bryan Baptist church, under which name it has continued ever since. Baptist Church Anniversaries. The attendance at the two Baptist churches which are celebrating their one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary this week has been very large and gratifying. The two churches who have the privilege of celebrating such a long life are the First Bryan Baptist church and the First African Baptist church, the former pastored by the Rev. Daniel Wright, and the latter by the Rev. W. L. Jones. The exercises at these two churches will continue until Tuesday night and those who have not had opportunity so far of attending services at one of these churches will find it very interesting and profitable to go down one night. The music which has been rendered at both churches has been very enjoyable and the services in general very enthusiastic. Mr. and Mrs, W. S. Hornsby Entertains. (O. Bernard Quick.) Augusta, Ga.—On Tuesday afternoon, January 7, Hornsby, Manager and Mrs. W. S. Hornsby entertained a few of the visiting superintendents and agents of the Pilgrim Insurance company at an elaborate two-o'clock luncheon at their very attractive home. Covers were beautifully laid for twelve and a most dainty and enjoyable lupcheon was served to the complete satisfaction and delight of all present, Mr. and Mrs. Hornsby make a delightful host and hostess, and thus this generosity have ingratiated themselves in the hearts of those who were present to participate in the very pleasant repast. Such occasions only tend to heighten the esteem in which Mr. and Mrs. Hornsby are held by the very efficient staff of field workers, who were their guests on the occasion. Among those who enjoyed the hospitality of this young couple were: Messrs. S. W. Walker, Atlanta; A. B. Singfield, Savannah; O. B. Quick, Columbus; Cornelius Drake, Athens; S. F. Bynes, Cordale; Virgil Vincent, Albany; W. H. Patterson, Americus, S. L. Johnstone. Thomasville; J, L. Fambro, and L. H. Burdell, Macon; R. P. Davis and T. J. Walker, Augusta. Honesty.

SAVANNAH, GECRGIA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 18, 1913 EVENT ONE OF MOST DELIGHTFUL IN HISTORY OF AUGUSTA. Many Prominent Men Among Those Present Business Last Year Nearly Quarter Million—Interesting Program. (O. Bernard Quick) Notable among the business and social circles of Augusta and incidentally, throughout the entire state of Georgia, was the annual meeting of the policyholders of The Pilgrim Health and Life Insurance Company, the pioneer institution of its kind in the state which convened in the city of Augusta January 7th. Quite a number of the Company's representatives from various parts of the state were present at the meeting and enjoyed a very profitable and instructive session The meeting was called to order by the president, Mr. H. C Young, and reports of the various executive officers of the company were read showing the volume of business done by the company for the year ending December 31, 1912. These reports were highly gratifying and exceeded almost beyond comprehension the most sanguine expectations of the most optimistic. Especially does the report of the secretary, Mr. T. J. Walker, command consideration which shows the volume of business done for the year among the Negrees of Georgia by this company to be close to the quarter million-dollar mark, a fact that appeals very forcibly to all serious thinking minds. As a fitting culmination to the business and marking the beginning of a new era of progress, the Augusta agency tendered an elaborate banquet to the out-of-town guests and invited friends of the company, who were present. The scene of festivity was laid in the auditorium of the Colored Y. M. C. A. which was beautifully decorated for the occasion and the long festal board laden with every kind of luscious fruit with covers for one hundred, presented an imposing spectacle. The Pilgrim banquet after all is said marks the climax of the social doings in Augusta and the close of a day in this city which shall long be remembered in the hearts of the agents and the grateful guests of the company. Among the notable guests present were Pro.. John Hope of Atlanta, Georgia, Dr. C, T. Walker of Augusta, Georgia, Prof. S. X. Floyd, Rev. J. W. Whitehead, Mr. J. H. Kendall and others. The menu, consisting of eight courses, was one sumptuous affair, fit to tempt the digestive organs of the gods and reflecting great credit upon the culinary skill of caterer J. D. Parker. The courses were daintily served by the very charming girls of the Home office force, consisting of Misses Essie I. Morrison, Genevieve T. Smith, Mattie B. Wiley, Emie H. Henson and Lucy Scott. Rev. J. S. Ellis presided a coast master and throughout the evening the occasion was interposed with Continued on Page Four Work to Commence on New School Soon CENTRAL PARK NORMAL AND INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL A CERTAINTY Brection of First Building to Begin Within Ninety Days—To Hold Chatauqua at New School in August At a meeting of the trustees of the Georgia Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church which was held at the New St. Philip church, West Broad and Charles streets, on last Wednesday, it was decided to give the executive board power to begin work within ninety days on the new school which the A.M. E. church is going to erect on the land which they have been given for this purpose at Central Park. It will be remembered that the A. M. E. church was to be given a certain number of acres of land in Central Park for school purposes by the Central Park land company if the church succeeded in selling a definite number of lots. This offer was made a little over eighteen months ago and as the church has carried out its part of the agreement the land has been given the church and the erection of a school building is to begin within ninety days. Central Park is situated about five miles on the White Bluff road and is considered by the trustees a fine spot for the school. The erection of a school on this tract of land will greatly relieve the large overflow of students which occurs at Morris Brown College, Atlanta, Ga., every year as the students in this section of the state can take advantage of the school at Central Park for at least their first two years' schooling. The meeting of the trustee board Wednesday was very enthusiastic and all the details for the beginning of the work at Central Park were gone over. It is the plan of the church to erect a substantial brick structure on the ground given them by the land company. This building will be modern in every respect and no opportunity looking toward the comfort of the students and teachers will be lost sight of in its construction. The single building which it is planned will be erected this spring, will be added to as the demand for more room is created. In event greater space is wanted after the first building is erected additions will be made to it by building a wing to the original building. The new school, as its name implies, will make a specialty of industrial and normal work. It is the idea of the trustees to build up a great educational institution at Central Park and with the backing of the African Methodist Episcopal-Church of Southeast Georgia there is no apparent reason why they should not succeed in their work. During the month of August, it is planned to hold an educational chataqua at the new school. This meeting will be held for about three days and all of the prominent educational workers of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in this and surrounding states will be asked to take part in the meetings. Among the Masons. When you leave the lodge room, leave its business affairs there, but live your Masonry on the street, in public, everywhere, and at all times.—Masonic Home Journal. To know a man as a true Mason is to have a sort of reverence for him that demands one's full confidence in his earnestness and integrity. Commend me to the man who lives up to his Masonic obligations.—Masonic Home Journal. It is doubtless the proudest moment in the lives of certain pompous and badge-bedecked persons, when they strut down the street, at the head of a procession, imagining that every eye is turned with admiration upon them. Very often these same eyes convey to the brain the suggestion that man in his uniform and his vain glory is close akin to the peacock. Gossip, not in the ordinary meaning of the word, but concerning affairs of the lodge, is a pernicious, and it might be said a vicious habit. Masons should be deeply impressed with those virtues, silence and circumspection. The doings and sayings in the lodge room should not be discussed on the streets, in public places, and, in fact, it's a good plan to discuss them only in the lodge when opened and at labor; then every brother should have opportunity to speak his opinion freely, with the full as surance that it would never be repented. Talk, talk; too much talk is the rock on which so many lodges have been wrecked. Talk is repeated, and after a few repetitions it can't be recognized as the original, having become so distorted and misshapen. A legacy has come into our possession, and our acceptance of the trust carries with it a responsibility that closely borders upon the sacred in its nature. What is this thing that has come to us, that we must preserve inviolate, and in turn pass on to our successors? It is an association of men with which we have voluntarily allied ourselves, having as its basic principle belief in God and in immorality, with accompanying lessons and admonitions, which if accepted and practiced tend to lead us, step by step upward and onward towards the high ideals of life. In brief, it is the betterment of the human character along lines which all good men accept as essentials, for which this great fraternity of ours is striving. We succeed only as we cling tenaciously to those essentials, which we profess to accept, and which have attracted to our membership the wisest and best of mankind. It is something real, something right, something eternal, that binds us together. It is vitalizing influence, affecting us according as we permit it to guide us in our strife to gain mastery over our baser inclinations, and to become in approximate measure that for which we are created. We do not interfere with the religious duties imposed upon men by divine authority, but supplement in practical fashion the various associations that would rightly direct our footsteps towards the immortal life, distributing as we labor, comfort and consolation here, helpfulness and cheer, there and love everywhere, and is so genuine, so quiet, so true, that it is surprising that to its work good and able men freely devote so much of energy and of strength.—Henry M. Cheney, P. G. M. Central Regalia Company Exhibits at St. Philip Church What will be of great interest to all social, benevolent and fraternal societies of the city will be the exhibit of regalia which will be made at the new St. Philip church, January 24th by the Central Regalia Company of Cincinnati, Ohio. The Central Regalia Company is the only known Negro concern of the kind in the country and it is likely that a large crowd will be out to witness the display: Smart Set at Savannahanah Theater January 28th The Smart Set Theatrical Company will appear in this city at the Savannah theater, Tuesday, January 28th, matinee and night. Seats can be secured in any portion of house. Tickets will be on sale at the Savannah theater Saturday morning, January 25th, at eight o'clock. Seats can be secured by colored people for any portion of the house. NUMBER 18 Standard Life Begins Next Month Standard Life Begins Next Month FIRST STRAIGHT LIFE NEGRO INSURANCE COMPANY ORGANEIZD Required Bond $100,000 Raised By Company - Directorate Composed of Some Most Substantial Negroes of South- Two Savannahans on Board. The Standard Life Insurance Company is the name of the new insurance company which will begin business on the first of February. This company is the first straight life insurance company ever launched by Negroes and the undertaking bids fair to be one of the finest endeavors ever started by our people. The company's headquarters are in Atlanta, Ga. where a meeting of the board of directors of the company was held last week. It will be recalled that an attempt was made to get the company on foot last year but the necessary amount to be deposited by the company, with the State was not raised. However, the renewed effort of the company to raise the hundred thousand dollars has been successful and on the first of February the company will begin business. The company is backed by some of the most substantial as well as most prominent. Negroes of the south. Among the members of the board of directors are two Savanah men, Mr. Walter S. Scott and Mr. Sol. C. Johnson. Large Crowd Attending Pekin Theater Although the attendance at the Pekin theater for the past six months has been very gratifying to the management yet the large crowds which have been flocking to this delightful play house since the first night in 1913 have given the proprietor just reason to believe that the present year is to be a record breaker in point of attendance. The reason for the splendid attendance is very apparent to the regular patrons of this house, which is the extraordinarily high class pictures which have been presented. Some of the best and most entertaining photo plays that are to be seen anywhere in the country have been shown at the Pekin theater during the past six monts and the appreciation of the theater goers of the city for Mr. Stiles' endeavors to satisfy his patrons by giving them the best shows which he could procure is demonstrated by the packed houses which he has enjoyed. During the present week the house has been putting on three shows a night and each performance has been crowded. There has been some talk here of late to the effect that the management is going to enlarge the house. When approached on this matter Wednesday, although perfectly willing to discuss the necessity of larger quarters Mr. Stiles would not commit himself. It is known, however, that improvements are to be made on the house in the near future but the exact nature of them has not been disclosed.

Po: es ~ « \ AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Does the negro in our country have a fair chance a3 compared with the native black man in Africa, the home of the negro? asks Boofler T. Wash- Ington, wha, in the Century Magazine, discusses the question, “Is the Negro Having 4 Fair Chance?” In the midst of the preparation of this article, I met Bishop Isaiah B. Scott of the Metho- dist Episcopal ‘church, one of the strongest and most Intelligent color- ed men that I know. Bishop Scott has spent the greater part of his life in the eouthern states, but during the last seven years he has lived in Li- beria and traveled extensively on the west coast of Africa, where he has come: into contact with all classes of European white people. In answer to my question, Bishop Scott dictated the following sentence, which he au- thorized me us use: “The fairest white man that 1 have met in dealing with the colored man 1s the American white man. He un- derstands the colored man better be cause of his contact with bim and he has more respect for the colored man who has accomplished something.” Basing my conclusions largely on conversations which I have had with native Africans, with negro missionar- fes and with negro diplomatic officials who have lived in Africa, especially on the west coast and in South Africa, I am led to the conclusion that, all things considered, the negro in the United States has a better chance that he bas in Africa, * In certain directions the negro has had greater opportunities In the states in which he served as a slave than he has had in the states in which he has been for a century or more a free man. This statement is borne out by, the fact that in the south the negro rarely has to seek labor, but on the other hand, labor seeks him. In all my experience in the couthern states, I have rarely seen a negro man or wom an seeking labor who did not find it. In the south the negro has business opportunities that he does not have elsewhere, Reduced to its lowest terms, the fact {s that a large part of our racial troubles In the United ‘States grow out of some attempt to pass and execute a law that will make and- keep one man superior to another, whether he is intrinsically superior or not. No greater harm can’ be done to any group of people than to let them feel that a statutory enactment can keep them superior to anybody else. No greater injury can be done to any youth than to let bim feel that be cause he belongs’to this or that race, or because of his color, he will be.ad- vanced in life regardiess of his own merits or efforts. Make yourself agreeable to a man and he will-want to borrow money from you. Make yourself agreeable to 3 woman and she will want to mar- ry you. The American negro {s progressing. When he was given his IMberty, prac. tically half a century ago, only three per cent of the blacks could read and -write, Now 68 per cent of the negroes are educated. The negroes are rapid- ly acquiring farms in the south and are making good farmers, thanks to the education and training at such in- stitutions as Tuskegee. Of the 10,- 000,000 negroes in the country 1,000, 000 reside in the north.

It was established by negro club women in 1908. In a city of fewer than 2,500 ne- groes, this library has had 2,200 visits in one month; has loaned 150 books in the same length of time, and has added to its shelves 765 volumes. ‘The report of the third quarter {s as follows: Registered visits, 2,000: ‘books loanéd, 1.00; books added, 265; members to date, 800. Since the opening in 1908: Registered visits, 27,056; books loaned, 10,810; books do- nated, more than 2,000.

There is no such institution in the state doing so much for race uplift. Mrs. J. C. Horton is the Hi- brarian.

During the next eight or ten months it will possibly be true that a dozen Prominent colored people in the Unit. ed States will be put out of prominent federal jobs, and a smaller number be put into prominent federal jobs. All this will affect the individuals concern- ed, but will affect only in a very slight measure the progress of the millions of our race. The future of the roil- Hons of black people 1s not dependent upon a few individuals being put out of office or being put into office, but is dependent upon the success of ,our people in getting land, building houses, organizing schools, colleges, universt- tles, churches and securing justice in the courts and in public travel. We advise that for the next few months our people cease to discuss politics, cease political activity In a large measure and devote themselves to the importance of conditions in their community. We advise that a Negro Business league be organized in every community, that a literary society be organized, that a woman's club be or- ganized wherever these organizations do not now exist, and wherever they do exist new work should be cut out for them and the organization strengthened. Let us get down to busineés in rela- tion to the uplift of our race material- ly, educationally, morally, religiously, spiritually and civilly. There is plenty of work to do in every community. What is done {n Washington will con- cern the people at home very little, but what is done in each individual com- munity will mean the uplift and strength of 10,000,000 people.

A rather turgid orator, noted for his verbosity and heaviness, was once assigned to some campaigning in 2 mining camp in the mountains. ‘There were about fifty miners present when he began, but when, at the end of a couple of hours, he gave no sign of finishing, his listeners dropped away.

Fixing his gaze on him, the orator pulled out a large six-shooter and laid it on the table. The old fel- tow rose slowly and drawled out: “Be you going to shoot if I go?” “You bet I am!” replied-the speak- er. “I'm bound to, finish my speech, even if I have to shoot to keep an audience.” The old fellow sighed in a tired manner and edged slowly away, say- ing as he did so: “Well, shoot if-you want to, I may Just as well be shot as talked to dedth."—Tit-Dits.

Importance of That Arm of Government's Organization Is Shown in Recent Reports Received at Treasury Department. Washington.—Six reports from the commanding officers of vessels of the revenue cutter service regarding aid rendered vessels in distress were received at the division of the service, Treasury Department, in the past few weeks. Capt. A. L. Gamble, commanding the new cutter Miami, which has been kept busy since her arrival on the Key West station giving aid to a big coasting schooner and a steamship, in trouble in the vicinity of Key West. The schooner Lydia McLellan Baxter, one of the big coal carriers from the Chesapeake to Florida points, was caught in the channels leading to Key West in such a position that she could not go ahead or turn around to go back and was forced to anchor to keep from going ashore. Word of the vessel's predicament was sent by the consignee of the vessel at Key West to Capt. Gamble. The Miami went to the aid of the schooner and assisted her to her dock at Key West. --- The liner Colorado, bound from New York to Galveston, via Key West, got ashore in that harbor and was floated by the Miami, uninjured and able to resume her voyage under her own steam. From far away Honolulu comes a report from Capt. C. S. Cochran, commanding the cutter Thetls, which in the past summer did duty as a floating court in Alaskan waters, regarding the floating of the American schooner Sophie Christianson of San Francisco, which had gone ashore while trying to work out of the harbor at Honolulu under sail. The vessel was in shoal water and the cutter could not get to her, but the men of A. H. Frank MacVeagh, Secretary of the Treasury. the Thetis, in the ship's launch and with the assistance of other launches, soon had the schooner in deep water. sooth and the schoobet in deep water. The cutter Acushnet was called to the aid of the steamship Penobscot ashore on the eighteen-foot lump. Pollock Ripp shoals, on the Massachusetts coast. When she reached the vessel she found the United States army dredge Navaslnk alongside the stranded vessel. With the powerful dredge dong the pulling and the Acushnet holding her bow in the position to make her work most effective, the floating of the steamship was accomplished, and it was able to continue its voyage without further aid. It is not always commercial ships that want the aid of the cutters to get them out of trouble, for once in a while they are called upon to aid government-owned vessels. A report from Capt. De Otte, commanding the cutter Onondaga on the Norfolk station, tells of being called upon to aid the lighthouse service steamer Holly, which had gone ashore on the Portsmouth flats, Elizabeth river, in a heavy fog. The lighthouse service steamer Orchid was also on hand to pull on the ship, but after she broke four hawers in the effort she gave up the task and the cutter worked the Holly into deep water. The master of the cutter, according to Capt. De Otte's report, expressed his appreciation of the service rendered. Work for Money but Stay in School They do not allow working to interfere with going to school in Hammond, Ind. Special arrangements are made whereby boys and girls may work half a day in certain commercial establishments and attend school the balance of the day. Hammond is a manufacturing community, where the temptation to boys and girls is strong to leave school and earn a living. Superintendent McDaniel's plan makes is possible for boys and girls to earn money, remain in school, and also make themselves more efficient industrially. The plan at Hammond is based on a full realization of modern social and industrial conditions. Superintendent McDaniel proceeds on the theory that, while there are certain general principles underlying all education, each community has its own special problems that are too often disregarded in the making of the schools. Besides the co-operative school and shop arrangement, Hammond maintains a night school with an attendance of 700, where boys and girls may not only make up elementary deficiencies, but also receive practical training in specific phases of commerce and industry. Vocational guidance forms another feature of the Hammond plan. The schools furnish information about the various industries in the community, the salaries paid in different lines of work, the opportunities for advancement, hours of labor, permanency of employment, and all the details that are of value in determining a choice of employment. As early as the sixth grade the teacher tests the child's interest and ability in various forms of elementary industrial work, so that he may come to have some idea of a future vocation. The school authorities also maintain an employment bureau, where present and former pupils are registered and their qualifications carefully investigated. Foreigners Are Interested In American Education Canadian educators are impressed with the facilities for educational information in the United States. Dr. David Soloan, principal of the Nova Scotia Normal school, considers the federal bureau of education at Washington one of the best and readiest sources of information about the schools of Canada. Dr. Soloan is not the first educator who has paid tribute to the wisdom of congress in providing a central bureau for the diffusion of educational information, but as an expert on education his opinion deserves to be quoted. After speaking of the history of education in the United States as "illustrious" and describing the part the government, through its bureau, of education, has played, he says: "It has saved uncalculated millions to educational effort merely through its punctual record of each and every educational enterprise, every attempted reform, every individual initiative. It has prevented duplication of experiment, reported educational progress in foreign countries, slifted statistics, and from conflicting reports gathered the facts the leaders of education in America needed to be certified of." Education is international. No matter how local and national certain of its problems may be, the fundamentals of education are identical in all civilized countries; and it is surely worth knowing that in this international exchange of ideas the United States bears no small part. Rich Rhode Islander Elected to Congress There comes to the new house of representatives Peter Goelet Gerry, one of the richest young men in the country. He is the son of the late Peter Gerry of New York, but himself lives in the Second Rhode Island district. He was married two or three years ago to Miss Mathilde Townsend, of this city, one of the very wealthy young debutantes of a very few years ago. The Townsend home is one of the most spacious and magnificent in Washington, and the young couple will make their home with Mrs. Gerry's mother, so some splendid entertaining is promised for the new Democratic administrator. Mr. Gerry has filed his statement of campaign expenses, and they were within $15 of being $5,000. He also gave $800 to the Republican state committee of Rhode Island. It is said that Mrs. Gerry herself from her own private fortune gave a goodly sum. Opinion of High Court Hits Everyday Citizen No matter how much loss a person suffers because a letter carrier delays delivery of mail, a policeman fails to walk his beat, a fireman neglects an alarm or a water company omits to install fire plugs, the sufferer cannot recover damages. Such is the statement of Justice Lamar of the Supreme court in an official opinion filed the other day among the records of the court. This utterance was made in arriving at the conclusion that an individual inhabitant of a city cannot sue a water company for failure to install plugs and mains it had contracted with a city to install. The case arose in Spartansburg, S. C. The opinion is contrary to the law in, Kentucky, North Carolina and Florida, but upholds decisions in numerous other states. Increase in Canal Zone Stamp Sale The canal zone government has turned into the United States treasury a sum of $87,550.21 revenue received from the sale of stamps and post cards during the fiscal year ending June 1, 1912. This is an increase of $4,800 over last year. During the past year 145,633 registered letters were handled by the postoffice there. Forty-seven per cent. of the registered mail was sent under official stamp; 43,823 registered letters were sent to foreign countries. There were 227,680 money orders issued during the year, representing a value of $4,915,077.29. On February 1 last 16 postal savings banks were established on the canal zone, carrying total deposits of $356,947. There were 2,402 depositors. Sure Proof.

CIGAR-BOX STORY CIGAR-BOX STORY How Two Lovers Were Reunited by a Label on a Box. By H. M. EGBERT: It was in the splendor of the Florida sunset that Ned Murdoch told Dolores of his love. He was resting upon his oars, half way between the mainland and Cypress Key. Under their boat the blue tides ran swiftly; the rustling palmetto filled the air with murmurs; the scent of the blossoming orange trees was borne out to them from the inland groves. And from west to east the sky was afame with crimson. "Dolores," said the young planter, "will you stay here and marry me?" She started and looked at him intently. A warm red colored her cheeks, and the slanting, sidelong glance of her eyes became direct, and then her eyelids velled it. "Your wife!" she murmured, and her fingers clutched the rowlocks convulsively for a moment. "No!" she continued hurriedly. "You don't know who I am or anything about me." "I don't care," Murdoch cried. "I know that I love you. It isn't much I offer you—it's very different here from what you have at home in Tampa—" "At home in Tampa," she repeated mechanically, in her quaint Spanish accept. She had drifted into Big Cypress in May, when the last of the tourists had left Florida and the hotel was closed. She had come from Tampa, she explained languidly; a touch of fever, a need for rest, for change. No, she had never been so far north before, or to so little a place. She rented a little cottage near the house. Since then two weeks had passed, and on the morrow she was to go. She would never come back, they knew, that brilliant bird of passage who had lingered there, talking with the fishermen, petting the fat children upon the wharves, or reclining lazily in the shade of a palmetto tree, puffing at her vanilla cigarette—a habit admired by the men but made the subject of vicious comment by the fishermen's wives. Sometimes Ned Murdoch would take her in his flat-bottomed boat from key to key, to hunt for the elusive tarpon or to gather a catch of mackerel for the evening meal at her cottage upon the shore. They had grown intimate, he and she, and she had exercised her arts upon him during those lonely sails, during their long walks on the beach, and, seeing the worship in his eyes, she had made her conquest sure. Why should he not succumb, this simple countryman, rich, according to local standards, but hopelessly ignorant of the world, gauche, rustic, and simple? It was thought at Big Cypress that she must be the daughter of some one of the Tampa cigar kings—men who had built up the prosperity of the town in a generation, and yet retained their Spanish speech and customs amid the ceaseless changes, the Americanization of the old Spanish city. "No," she answered Murdoch in agitation. "I must go home. It is impossible." Ned Murdoch rowed her back and left her at the cottage door. He raised his hat and, turned at the end of the beach and looked back to see her standing there, watching him, a slight and graceful figure framed in the rustic door. Next morning she left for Tampa. He did not see her again. She was gone, and Big Cypress swiftly forgot her. The summer passed; new tourists came in October; only Ned Murdoch remembered her. His loved increased with its hopelessness. Often he would timidly inquire concerning her from some Tampa visitor, veiling his inquiries discreetly; but none recognized his description. Then the event occurred which changed his life. One evening, at the hotel, a tourist offered him a cigar from the box. He took one and then snatched the box from the man's hand and stood staring at it like a man hypnotized. For there on the inside of the lid was Dolores. It was impossible to mistake those features: the dark hair, the beautiful eyes, the mouth, drooping a little wearily, half petulant, half sad. "I peg your pardon," he stammered, handing back the box. Then he could no longer restrain himself. "I know her!" he cried, indicating the portrait on the lid. "She was here last summer and—and—" "And you want to find her again?" inquired the visitor in amusement. "Well, my boy, why don't you go to Tampa and inquire of the makers—Juan Desproches y Ca? There's the hame on the lid." "She must be his daughter, then," said Murdoch eagerly. "Without doubt, answered the stranger drily. "Take another cigar." That cigar seemed the best that Ned had ever smoked. All night he paced the beach in an ecstacy of happiness. He would find her now—why had he never thought of going to Tampa before? He would find her and, bring her back to his wife. He felt superhuman strength and resourcefulness. He was sure she had loved him, and he, could make her love him again. He would devote a life of service to her. He knew he would succeed. He took the morning train for Tampa and made his way to the cigar factory. There, having obtained an interview with the manufacturer, he statied his case boldly. "You are under a mistake, senor." sald the Spaniard coldly, when Mur doch had finished. "I have no dugbter. If I had one I might find your suggestion insulting, sir." "But—" stammered the other. "It is not our custom, sir, to place the portraits of our daughters upon cigar boxes for the inspection of the world. However, I think you are sincere, and, as I happen to know where you can find the Senorita Dolores. I will tell you. Go to number 193 Avenida Otranta at nine o'clock this evening and you will assuredly meet her there." He bowed and, with a cynical smile, passed into his office, shrugging his shoulders. He was a very busy man, and whatever of sentiment there had once been in his nature had long ago been driven out by Americanization. Still, it was droll, very droll! He wished he could spare, the time to go to the Avenida that evening in order to witness their meeting. However—he shrugged his shoulders again and speedily forgot the matter. In Bull's cabaret, No. 193 Avenida Otranta, the usual throng was assembled at nine o'clock that evening. Senor Bull, an enterprising Yankee from Philadelphia, certainly knew how to cater to the tastes of his patrons. Senor Bull's wines, for example, had never seen any but European suns; they were not doctored, homegrown admixtures. And Senor Bull's singing and dancing ladies were no fifth-rate cactant entertainers, but celebrities from New York and Havana. As for Senorita Dolores, he had picked her up in an obscure music hall, and it was shrewdly said that the ten days' scandal which had brought her into the lime-light had been actually engineered, if not invented, by Senor Bull himself. Certainly the senorita, whose portrait adorned cigar-boxes, bill posters, and other such places, justified her fame, for few could dance more divinely or set the hearts of Tampa's youths beating more wildly. When she came forward on the stage that night the audience at the little tables broke into a storm of bravos. Attired as a matador, in short scarlet skirts, holding her dart with its fluttering banderole, she bowed and kissed her hands to the audience and capered forward and began her song. It was a fine song and it went to the hearts of the Cubans who heard her. It told of wine and love and battle, so rousing their spirits that they saw in the senorita the vertible incarnation of these things. They stood up on the floor, upon the chairs, waving their hats, shouting for an encore. And, whirling in the play of colored lights, until she seemed like a sea fairy entangled in masses of filmy drapery, the senorita spun. Then, all of a sudden, she stopped. She stopped and stood perfectly still, her eyes fixed on the audience—no, on one of the audience; on a man who came forward, elbowing his way through the crowds and pushing forward toward the stage. He tossed aside the men who stood in his way, flung the ushers aside as though they were puppets; tables went crashing down, with their assembled glasses, and chairs sent spinning among the audience. And still he pressed forward; he gained the stage, leaping upon it over the footlights. Still the senorita stood dumb and motionless, but there was a look of horror in her eyes, and now she put up her hands as though to hide her face. That was all that the audience saw, for the curtain fell and hid them, and in front of it a heaving multitude of men raged and shouted and demanded the senorita; while some, suspecting a tragedy, began crowding toward the exit, to intercept the senorita at the stage door. But Murdoch knew nothing save that he had found her again. He drew her into the wings, and, holding her hands, stood gazing at her triumphantly. "Come!" he said. "Come? Where?" echoed the senorita, for the first time finding her voice. But it was broken with tears and filled with shame. The banderole, fluttering from the lance which she still held, the spangled dress with its abbreviated, scarlet skirt, looked pitifully tawdry now. "Why did you come here?" she sobbed indignantly. "Why couldn't you have forgotten me? You have no right to judge me because I am just a dancing girl." "I haven't judged you," said Murdoch quietly. "I want you to come with me. Answer me one question, Dolores. Do you love me—or rather did you love me that day when I asked you to be my wife?" "Yes, I loved you," she said. "But how could I tell you what I was—you, who would never have understood? You have never met women like me. Do you want to know why I went to Big Cypress? I hated my life, I wanted to be free. I wanted to forget myself and never remember what I was. But when I met you I saw how deep a gulf lay between. I knew then that I never could escape my destiny. I was just a Cuban dancing girl, making a spectacle of myself night after night for money, and if I had married you and not told you that I was the notorious Dolores Gracia some day you would have discovered it. I couldn't bring that dishonor upon you. So I came back. Now leave me." Murdoch laughed rather grimly as he found her cloak and folded it about her. "Come, Dolores," he said. "I haven't found you to lose you again. Perhaps you never had a chance to be anything else. But there's happiness enough in my heart just now to fill yours too." He raised her hands and pressed them to his lips. (Copyright, 1912, by W. G. Chapman.) Course of True Love Never Smooth, but It Can Be Helped Over Rough Places. They had been visiting a friend of hers who had recently married and gone to housekeeping. The atmosphere of the new home had evidently affected both, for she would not look him in the face, and he seemed unable to find just the proper thing to say. Finally he put his hand over hers as it rested on the seat, and giving it a sly squeeze, awaited results. Nothing happened, however, other than she did not remove her hand. "No! You should." "Nellie," he whispered. "What is it?" turning her head half way toward him. "Will you?" "Will I what?" "Take a try at what they are doing?" "No," with finality. "Why?" "I just don't want to, that's all." "Anybody else?" No answer. "Who is it? Bob Winton?" "No, not necessarily, although he is in business for himself." "Since when?" "I don't know, but he has a place on Ninth street." "Huh! Selling collar buttons on the corner. I know something about these fellows who are in business for themselves." "Oh, I don't know. Don't you suppose that when a girl is out in the business world, she can tell a good fellow when she meets him?" The car stopped; they got off and walked in silence to her home. The hour being early, she asked him in. Hats and coats were removed, the fire lighted in the grate, and everything seemed to take on a cozy air. Nellie fluffed her hair, and seating herself at the piano commenced to play a lullaby. Fred in the meantime had seated himself in a comfortable chair and was looking over a magazine. Whether it was the magazine or the lullaby is hard to say, but he had his arms around Nellie. "Oh, Fred, don't be silly; go sit down." She tried to push him off. "I shall do nothing of the kind," he said quietly, moving her around on the stool until her head was on his chest and he could see her face. "I am tired of this business. You've known my mind for some time past now, but every time I bring it up, you say no. Now I'm going to make you say yes." With a new note of tenderness in his voice, "Come, sweetheart, can't you care just a little? Or are you stringing me along in order to force Winton to a showdown? There, there, dear, don't fight." With one shove, she had pushed him away from her. "Winton! Winton! Can't you find something or somebody else to talk about besides Winton? If you keep on I'll hate you instead of trying to love you as you want me to do." Fred didn't know what to do. With an air 'b of utter dejection he took a seat in a far corner of the room to thresh it out with himself. Nellie, taking a quick glance, laughed inwardly. Deciding, however, to leave at least friends, he went over to where she sat. "Please, Nellie, forgive me if I said anything to offend you, but, oh, I can't help it. That little home we visited tonight makes me hanker more than ever for one of my own—and with you. Come, sweetheart," bending over the side of her chair, "don't let me go away with hard feelings between us," and, stooping, kissed the back of her hand as it rested on the arm of the chair. Without moving, she simply turned her hand over, the palm uppermost. Again stooping, he kissed the palm. "And when am I going to kiss the girl?" he asked. "Haven't you had two already?" from the other side of the chair. "Nellie, turn around this way, won't you?" "What for?" and turning her face toward him, portrayed an entirely different countenance from that of a few minutes before. "Nellie!" and she didn't push or fight this time when he put his arm around her. "When shall it be, dear?" "Oh, some time next. spring." "Next spring nothing! Next month's more like it. We'll start house hunting this Sunday. Please, dear," and drawing her head over to his shoulder, kissed her long and tenderly on the mouth—as a girl dreams of before, and dreams of after. Buffalo Express. She Had Been Reading History. She Had Been Reading History. He had told her by telephone during the afternoon that he wished to speak to her that evening about something very important to him and he hoped, to her. So, when he arrived, she had two chairs drawn close together in the living room. Her parents had gone out for the evening. Her little brother had been sent to spend the night with his cousin, and the beautifully shaded lamp had been so arranged that it shed a soft, subdued light. Having shown him where to hang his hat, she led him to the chair that had been placed in a proper position for his use and made herself comfortable in the other. Then she crossed her dainty feet, folded her soft white hands in her lap, smiled at him in an encouraging way, and said: "When you are ready, Gridley, you may fire."—Chicago Record-Herald. AS FATE WILLED IT Cindy's Matrimonial Affairs Not All Her Own. Town Gossips Had Their Ears Close to the Ground and Very Little of Real Moment Gct Away "Yep, I got that hoss when it was a teeny colt 'long back'—let's see—well, 'bout the time Cindy conterplated metermony. Ma made that rag carpet the year of—yep, the year, Cindy thought of gettin' married. The old Baptist church was the biggest thing in town the year—well, the year Cindy was serious 'bout hitchin' up, you see. Was it or it was not the year afores or after? By heck! it was the same year she was thinkin' if she'd—Cindy, I mean—take Si Slocum or Ez Pembrook. The blacksmith shop burned down. Abe Foot's corncrib, as well as fourteen hens, six pullets, and nine Pekin ducks, went up in feathers and smoke—strange how dates up. It was when Cindy got the mix in her foot head that she'd lived a life of singleness enough. Then the new school teacher come and took the new deestrick school just 'bout when Cindy got hotheaded and tarned down Li Jenkins; he had a new buggy; and Slim Coot had two colts. Sim didn't have any new buggy, but he had a mor'gage on Li's twenty-acre farm. Cindy got left on both deals; but she held on to her passhun for doublin' up, she did." "It seems that about everything hinged upon Cindy's affair of love. All starts or ends about the time she contemplated matrimony." "Yep, that's what it does. Ma got her teeth then the same, year, pa bought a new hayfork and had the new cow barn paletted red, the colt run 'way with the milk wagon and we lost forty quarts of milk that summer; the dern crick slushed over and the hog pen was split into kindlin' down on the flats; Jim Parker broke his collarbone littin' a keg of cherry brandy, on a bet in Perkins's place; Mose Judkins was beat for pathmaster and I was put in postmaster at The Corners the same year; Tildy Brown went to the town high school, and the steepele fell down the year Cindy contemplated—" "And how did Cindy come out?" "Come out? Say, she went and done it." Not the Royal Salute. It happened to the queen as princess of Wales, when she was at one of the great cities of Upper India, and is here quoted from a recent book entitled, "An American Girl at the Durbar." The princess wished to see the place quietly for herself, and asked a young police officer to escort her, and to be sure to tell no one about it beforehand. So off they started on foot through the bazaar; and the princess, who was dressed, in a thick vell and topi, enjoyed it all immensely. But at the first police outpost on the road the constables, seeing their police sahib coming, turned in full force, and saluted with a clatter of arms as they passed. "Now I particularly asked that there might be none of this," reproached the princess. "Oh, it's not your royal highness they are saluting; it's I!" explained the young officer, blushing mightily. Education in Samos. If Stromboli is the lighthouse of the Mediterranean, Samos possesses what a native writer has described as the "Lighthouse of the Levant." A moral and intellectual lighthouse, that is to say—the college named Pythagoreum, after the greatest of Samians. This college attracts students from Crete and many other islands, and stands at the head of a remarkably creditable educational system. Fourteen years ago Mr. William Miller noted that Samos had one school for every thousand of the population, and was far from content with that, there being a strong movement for agricultural, kindergarten and higher female education. Samos, as a rich island with no national debt, is not crippled by the rates difficulty which tempers popular enthusiasm for education in some countries. Underpaid Ambassadors. Mr. Bryce, in resigning his post at Washington, resigns also $50,000 a year, a sum which probably gave rise to Sala's phrase concerning special correspondents, that they have the "salary of an ambassador." On the other hand, the American ambassador in London has to represent the United States on a salary of $17,500. Mr. Reid's predecessor, Mr. Choate, used to declare that $50,000 would scarcely cover the expenses of the office. An American biographer tells how a man was found wandering in the dead of night around Trafalgar square by a kind hearted constable, who recommended him to go home. "Home!" exclaimed the wanderer. "I have no home. I'm the American ambassador!" They Never Drown. "What's Hardluck doing these days?" "Teaching his sorrows to swim." "Teaching his sorrows to swim!" "Yes, trying to drown them in booze." €he Savannah Cribune, Established 1875 By JOHN H. DEVEAUX Published by + ,S08) C JOHNSON Editor’ and Proprietor - = JAS. HH. BUTLER. Asso.

Again thé hands of the law have fallen heavily upon Jack Jolinson, our ever present twenticth century humbug. While we have long since ceased to be admirers in any respect of the pugilist, yet we fail to see the cause for so much trouble for him except that a large part of it comes from down right persecu- tion born of prejudice and race hatred. ‘Things are breaking bad- Jy for the champion and we feel truly sorry for him. We cannot escape the conviction however, that a large part of his trouble is due to misconduct on his own part. During the week we received no- ification to the effect that the Philadelphia Tribune had removed ‘into its own new quarters at 256 South 16th street, Philadelphia Werare delighted to learn this of ‘the Pribune which we consider one ‘of the most ably edited and most worthy publications which our people have. We congratulate the Tribune in this forward step, and wish them unbounded success in the excellent work which they are doing, May the next twenty- five years be filled with as much if not more success than the past quarter of acentury through which this estimable contemporary of curs has passed, Fifty years of progress-in the history of the Negro marks the year 1913. What has been your contribution to the progress of thé race since you have reached your majority ¥ If you have not made any substantial contribution to the race during the year that you have enjoyed your maturity, then see to it that you do something worthy for your pcopje during the present year. If you have donesomething for the race that has helped to lift it, and that is worthy of emula tion then strive during the present year to make your contribution to its suecess greater and more sub- stantial than eyer before. To do something substantial for the good of the race should be a determi- nation within the breast of each of us. Now that Capt. Davant has been elected Mayor of our city we trust that he will do all in his power for a continuation of the peaceful and harmonious relations existing be- tween the races here. Much has been said of the kindly attitude which Mayor-elect. Davant bears toward the Negro and much is therefore expected of him by the Negroes of the city. It is alleged by a committee of Negro men who approached him prior to election with certain requests relative to the betterment of the Negro’s condi- tion in the city that he had given them his promise to grant them if elected. Among the things asked for were the appointinent of Ne- gro sanitary inspectors, a new school building, the paving of the road leading to Laurel Grove ceme- tery, the segresytion of the houses cf-ill repute on’the west side, po- lice protection and other things. There seem to be a growing ten- dency on the part of a number of our young men to so congregate themselves in front of and imme- diately insidé some of our places of business, that it is at times both difficult and embarrassing for a young lady to enter such places. And too, a young lady in passing through such a crowd, is subjected to such stares and muftering e m- ment that she Feelsquile ill Tease when in close proximity to it. 1415 wy isdeed to be regretted. Our femaies are entitled’ to more re- spect from our young men than this, ‘The management of these vlaces:of business deserve more consideration than this from these young men ‘who make the r places of business their “bang out” Do not think young inen that becuuse you spend a nickel fora cigar ura glass of suda-water once a. week that such generous patronage en- titles you to a lounging place at the place that enjoys your patron- age. This can ouly be tolerated at the expense of patronage much more valuable perhaps than you. Put yourself in the place of the proprictor and then think. A word to the wise is sufficient May our young men catch the hint and gov ern themselves accordingly. campaign ever waged sithin our midst, in the history of our muni- cipality. At that time the voters of Savannah showed their prefer- ence of the men offered them for mayor andaldermen of their city for the next two years. Asa re- sult, Captain Richard J. Dayant was elected mayor of Savannah for the next term with 2 board of aldermen consistiny of twelve men, eight of whom are of his own faction and four of the fac- tion that opposed him. From the inception of the campaiga until its close on last Tuesday night, when the yotes were counted nad announcement made of the victor ‘and vanquished, the, most virile juggressiveness was indulged in by the partisans of both factions. Fiery speeches and bombastic oratory were the order both day night. Charges and counter charges of graft, incompetency and the lixe, were made from time to time. Personalities were indulged in and mud slinging galore was carried on. Friends were arrayed against friends, brothers against brothers and partuers aainst partners. The citizens were divided on the issues of the campaign as never before But alas! It is all oyer now. ‘The red lights have been burned; midnight oratory bas spent itself; the bands haye ceased to dispense their campaign airs. « The election is over, A good man has been selected mayor of our city anda good man has been defeated. The issues of the campaign are no more. Savannah has selected anew mayor and board of alder- men. A majority of the voters have so expressed themselves at the polls. On thé side of the victors, we find some of our city’s most successful and progressive citizens. On the side of the van- quished, we find some of our most. prominent and loyal citizens. From time immemorial, the ‘citi- zens of our beautiful and pro- gressive municipality have been uoted for the co-vperative spirit that existsamong them. Notonly in times of war when a common enemy was to be feared, have we found this to be true, but in times of peace as well. Our city is now on the threshold of a /jnew era. ume of the greatest op- portunities for development in her history will be offered ber within the next two years. Among theso is the opening of the Panania Canal. By active co- Operation on the part of the citi- zens of our city without regard to race or religion party affiliation or alhtances, our,city, the- location of which is the must strategic on the Atlantic coast tor the coming Panama trade and travel, can be made the greatest of our South Atlantic sex ports. True to the| traditions of the past, it is bee lieved thut the wounds of the re- cent political war will soon be healed and that our citizens both rich and poor, young and old, and black and white will immediately resume the unusuul march of pro- yress which our city has been mvking for the pust decade. We must move on. ‘The signs of the times point to such. The world looks on and expects such. What shall we do? = {he answer is plain. With the great ~svannah spirit which knows no defeat, ever urg ing us onward, we shalf present a. united front to the world, The opportunities which shall come.to us shall be grasped and made the most use «f ‘The years of 1918 and 1914 will be epdch makers jn the development of oer city. Together we stand for ull things that pertain to its welfare and progr-ss. Here’s greeting to the pew mayor and aldermen of our municipality and the assurance that so far asin us lies, no stone will be left unturned that pro- mises success and progress to our, beautiful and wide awake city— Savannailr. . =) . .

MANY SICK AND MORE DYING. Russia Mobilizing Her Fleet To Join In the Coercion Of Turkey, If Necessary-A Peace- London. Official news received by the Bulgarian delegation describes the situation at Adrianople as desperate. Several soldiers, who deserted and succeeded in reaching the headquarters of the allies, say the town is in its last gasp. Provisions are so scarce that the military authorities have requisitioned the food possessed, even by private individuals and are making only one distribution, comprising a half ration daily. Conditions have been rendered graver by the great number of sick, who overflow the hospitals, where the attendance is inadequate. Thus the death rate is very high. The Bulgarians have allowed medicines and Red Cross workers to enter under the escort of a Bulgarian detachment. Would Rather Die The commander of the fortress has declared that he would rather see all die of starvation than surrender the town; that is why all who can are encowarding to escape. The Bulgarians believe that even independently of any action the powers may take the question of Adrianople will soon be solved. It is understood that Constantinople has accepted the views of Rechad Pasha, who recently asked to be authorized to reconvoke the conference, he being president for the next setting. The difficulty now lies in the determination of the allies not to participate unless they are notified in advance what Turkey intends to propose. They do not wish to revive the discussion of unacceptable terms, but desire to have it as a certainty that Turkey is ready to cede what has been pronounced as the irreducible minimum of the allies—Adrianople, after which it will be possible to discuss the frontier line, which must leave that town in the hands of the allies. Must Unofficially Agree. In other words, the allies do not wish to play into Turkey's hands by re-entering the conference room without a definite program which may lead to the definite conclusion of peace this time. Before the meeting the Turks and allies must have unofficially agreed to the main points of the territorial clauses of the treaty, so that official ratification of those agreements can be had in the conference. It is also suggested that the British foreign secretary, Sir Edward Grey, in his capacity as honorary president of the conference, might take the initiative, thereby obviating the necessity of either of the parties appearing to make the first advances. This could be accomplished only if the allies were assured that Turkey was prepared to give up Adrianople. PARCEL POST EXTENSION. Likely That Printed Matter Will Soon Be Included. Washington.—It is likely, in the judgment of authorities of the Postoffice Department to be only a short time until books and other printed matter, now handled as third-class mail at eight cents a pound, will be made mailable as parcel post matter. Steps a**ady have been taken to induce Congress so to amend the parcel post act as to permit printed matter to be sent by parcel post. In line with this idea, Postmaster General Hitchcock decided that senders of parcel post packages containing merchandise might Inclose printed matter descriptive of the contents without affecting their classification.

ANTICIPATION REALIZATION MILLIONS COULD BE SAVED IN END Economy and Efficiency Commission's Report. MR. TAFT ASKS FOR $250,000. The President, In a Special Message, Wants Investigations To Continue and Points Out Value Of the Work. Washington.—Congress is asked to appropriate $250,000 for continuing the investigation of the commission on economy and efficiency into the executive departments of the government, in a special message by President Taft transmitting to that body the report of the commission. In his message the President points out that "there is no greater service that can be rendered to the country than that of the continuance of the work of the commission until some form of organization is provided for continuously doing this kind of work under the Executive." The President expresses the opinion that the technique and procedure of every branch and office of the government should be submitted to the same painstaking examination as that given those on which reports have been made. To do this, however, President Taft says that ample funds must be provided and he asks that Congress make the $250,000 available by March 4 for the incoming president. Money Not Unwisely Spent. "In my opinion, says the President, "this is not a matter in which the Congress should assume that public money will be unwisely spent. At a total cost of about $230,000 during the 21 months covered by the work of the commission, facts have been developed and recommendations have been made that, if followed up, will result in savings of millions of dollars each year. This has been done under the handicap of inadequate funds and uncertainty of continuation, which interfered with the making of plans which could not be completely executed within a few months. It would be very much to the advantage of the administration if the president were authorized to spend whatever amount he may deem' to be necessary within the next two years, the only condition attached being that he render an account of expenditures." Referring to the fact that it has not been possible for the commission to make final detailed reports on more than a few of the hundreds of offices in Washington and in only one office outside of Washington has work of this character been undertaken, the President says the report submitted will serve to illustrate the character of results which may follow an extensive investigation of office technique and procedure. Some Interesting Facts. "It is further to be noted," continues the President, "that the offices which have been reported on are those which have been frequently under scrutiny. From what is known of the offices outside of Washington it is thought that it is in this field that the largest opportunities for economy will be found—partly due to the fact that these offices have not been brought under scrutiny, and partly due to the fact that a large number of them are dominated by political appointees." THIRTY-ONE GO DOWN. Tanker Rosecrans On Rocks At Peacock Spit, Ore. Astorla, Ore.-The oil tank steamship Rosecrans, Capt. L. F. Johnson, from Monterey, Cal., for Portland, Ore., ran aground on Peacock Spit, while crossing into the Columbia River, during a 55-mile gale and was lost with 31 members of her crew of 35. One survivor of the wreck was reported to have reached shore at Tiloga, Wash., six miles from the scene of the disaster, and the Point Adams life-saving crew, which, with the life crew from Fort Canby, had been, at work since early morning, rescued three other men COLD WAVE HAS COST MILLIONS Hopes of California Citrus Fruit Growers Blasted. BIG SHORTAGE IN 1913 CROP. Temperature Drops Way Down and Every Acre Of Oranges and Lemons In the Belt Has Been Frozen. Los Angeles, Cal. — From San Bernardina to Los Angeles, every acre of oranges and lemons has been frozen. This was the statement that came from Pomona, center of one of the heaviest producing sections of the citrus fruit belt. Only a fifth of the crop may be salvaged, it was asserted. If this be true the total loss on 150,000 acres of fruit will amount close to $40,000,000. More conservative estimates, however, figured the total damage at $20,000,000. Between $5,000,000 and $8,000,000 of this sum will be the loss to railroads in curtailed freight receipts. While Pomona reported a damage of 80 per cent. of the crop, San Bernardo county appeared to be the heaviest sufferer. San Bernardo includes the large Redlands orange section, adjoining Riverside, and it was declared that 90 per cent. of the crop was ruined. In this county alone, it was asserted, growers would lose from $9,000,000 to $11,000,000. COUNTY OFFICIALS ARRESTED. Graft Charges Brought Against Two Illinois Supervisors. Rock Island, Ill.-Alleged grafting among county officials resulted in the arrest of Supervisors S. R. Wright and E. H. Sleight on charges preferred by Police Magistrate C. J. Smith.

COTTON CORNER VIDLATION OF LAW Supreme Court Decides Patten Indictment Is Valid. VIOLATES ANTI-TRUST ACT. The Tribunal In a Majority Opinion Asserts That Corners Of Inter- State Commodities Are Washington.—The Supreme Court of the United States laid down the far-reaching principle that "corners" of interstate commodities, such as articles of clothing and food, are violation of the Sherman anti-trust law, and held that, as far as the Sherman law was concerned, the indictment in the New York Federal Court of James Patten, Eugene G. Scales, Frank H. Hayne and William P. Brown for "conspiring to run an alleged cotton corner" was valid. The case against them was sent back for trial or other proceedings. Justice Van Devanter announced the opinion of the court. Justice Lurton delivered a dissenting opinion in which Chief Justice White and Justice Holmes concurred. The majority of the court held that the Circuit Court for Southern New York had decided that the indictment charged a "withholding" of the cotton from the market, a necessary element of a corner, as admitted by the government. The minority held that the Circuit Court found the indictment did not so charge, and for that reason the indictment was fault. According to all the justices, the correctness of the holding of the Circuit Court as to the indictment charging a "withholding," and as to the sufficiency of the indictment on other technical points had to be accepted at this time without question by the Supreme Court. The points thus left undecided may be made the basis for bringing the case to the court again if the defendants are convicted upon trial. BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS. Bill Provides For One Hundredth Anniversary. Washington. — Representative Dupee, of Louisiana, introduced a bill for the celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the battle of New Orleans, January 8, 1815.

POLO Official announcement is made by the Polo Association that the first match for the international cup will be played on Tuesday, June 10, 1913, the second on Saturday, June 14, and a third contest, if necessary, on a date to be arranged later. SWIMMING In the most thrilling and spectacular mid-winter aquatic event ever held on the Pacific coast, and possibly in the world, John McMurray, a stripling of 20, won the annual Christmas day 100 yard swim in the Willamette river at Portland in the remarkable time of 551-5, setting a new world's amateur mark. BOWLING It was asserted in the New York Supreme court on the hearing of an application on the part of the Corinthian Bowling club of Brooklyn for an injunction to restrain the New York Bowling association from expelling the club from membership in the general organization, that Billy Hein, the star bowler, had used a loaded ball in the 1912 tournament. WRESTLING Harry Ordemann, heavyweight wrestler, defeated "Hercules" Johnson in straight falls at Minneapolis, winning the first in $19\frac{1}{2}$ minutes and the second in $9\frac{1}{2}$. George Lurien, one of the greatest of all the European wrestlers, is in Chicago prepared to meet any of the heavy fellows now in this country. Constant Lemarin won two falls out of three at Ottawa, Ont., in a wrestling match against Dr. Roller of Seattle. It was mixed style. Roller won the first fall, catch-as-catch-can, and the Belgian took the next two, Graeco-Roman style. GOLF There is every possibility that another notable invasion of English golf by American cracks will take place this winter, the matter having been broached by Douglass, the metropolitan champion. Among those who may cross the water are Herreschof, Byers, Kirbry, Fownes, Perrin, Wittemore, Watson and Ward. If the opinion of an official of the Metropolitan Association is to be valued, Jerome Travers, the greatest comeback of going history, will be the only player rated at scratch on the association 1913 handicap, despite the fact that Travis, Kirbry, Herreschof, and Seclel all receive that rating now. FOOTBALL Cornell football players at a banquet elected James J. Munns captain of the 1913 team. Munns played left guard during the last season and is a junior. He was the only Cornellian mentioned by some writers for the all-American team. $^9$His home is in Pittsburgh. Bill Roper, former Princeton head coach and chief adviser to the present football officiliary, will recommend that the football rules be changed to make the attack still stronger. The onside kick, he believes, should be restored, and the forward pass should be restricted, with the exception that it be from behind the line of scrimmage. PUGILISM Joe Thomas, the California middleweight, handed Willie Grupp, a St. Louis boxer, a beating in a ten a ten-round bout at the New Orleans Polo A. C.

The Montreal club, it is said, will pass up the Virginia training camp next spring and go farther south. Perhaps to Wilmington, N. C. A Considered to Be the Best All-Round Athlete at Princeton. TENNIS Abolition of the rating of tennis players in the United States is being considered by the officials of the United States National Lawn Tennis association, which will hold its annual meeting. It is declared the rating committee finds the-work too great a tasks because players fail to co-operate by sending in the data required for the ratings. George Standing, champion recquet-player of the world, retired from competition, according to announcement at the Racquet and Tennis club, where he is instructor. With the exception of Tom Pettit of Boston, Standing is the oldest raquet and court tennis player in the United States. AQUATIC The board of the Schuylkill Navy has decided to make application to the National Association of Amateur Oarsmen for next year's national regatta, to be held on the. Schuylkill river. Yale has again changed head crew coaches in midseason. Captain Snowden naming Averill Harriman, son of the late Edward Harriman, to that position, and announcing the resignation of James Otis Rodgers, who was named head coach this fall. Rodgers was also selected for head coach last year, but gave way to the veteran Bob Cook after the Ell crew arrived in their training quarters at New London. Harriman has been made chief of the coaching staff because of his investigation of English methods and styles of rowing during his visit to that country last February. He was then freshman crew coach, his eight proving the only Yale crew that defeated Harvard on the Thames last June. HORSE RACING In deciding that Anna Axme is a three-year-old, and was eligible to the futurities which she won, the National Trotting association board says that a horse's age cannot be told by the teeth. John R. Gentry, the famous pacer, twice holder of the world's record and sire of sixty-four turf winners, was taken to Tennessee from New York on a special car to spend the last days of his life there. The Abbe, 2:04, will be given a great opportunity in his new home in Tennessee, where he will be mated with the choicest of the Hal mares. That a great pacer will come from him there is little doubt; also he is apt to get a lot of speed at the trot. At W. H. Phaellin's Horso Bazaar, Orloe, Md., 26 head of horses and mules were sold at fair prices. In the lot were Somerset Boy (5), by Cooper Hannis, a half brother of Alice Mctrial, 2:14% pacing, for $955, to-William Darnack, of Whalleyville, Md.

One charm of the algrette, whether made of fur, feathers or rib- bon, is its lack of prejudice as to the position accorded to it. If posed in an upright maner, it will stand erect- ly and assume military, nay, a mili. tant air. But it is quite as willing to droop languidly from one side or from the back of a shape, or to cling af- fectionately tq the under edge of a olling brim. Paradise plumes have a similar happy faculty for adjusting themselves to the characteristics of -a chapeau, while marabou bands pos- sess the witchlike quality of making a releve-brim shape look well above 2 middle-aged face. What wonder that these three types of garnishings are used on tiny chapeau which, at last, have definitely arrived. They are seen in various shapes. but are smartest in a toque which fits closely to tho head and shows a short fringe across the brow and a mass of hair over both ears.

It is the popular idea among milliners that a woman— no matter how regular may be her features or how flawless her com: “plexion and teeth, cannot be pretty if her ears show. When posing her toque, the Parjsienne places its rear against the nape of her neck, then presses its crown forward and brings its sides against the curled or waved or puffed locks covering her ears. If she arranges these tresses with a due regard to the shape of her face. the new toque cannot fail to become her—providing that ft is of the right color. This rule may be applied to almost any of the new small shapes and notably to the Tam O'Shanters of velvet or corded silk matching the gown and garnished with aigrettes of fur or bands of marabou like the trimming on the skirt and the jacket. The huge puff of flexible material dropping over the narrow brim and concealing its hard line makes a soft halo which {s flattering to any face, no matter how youthful and lovely.

Small turbans of the tailored velvet type such as every true Parisienne considers a necessity for the winter season, are flat of crown and broad of brim and so severe of line that they «would be tmpossibly unbecoming were. it not for their pose. They are placed squarely upon the head and so far forward that the eyebrows are covered. From the front no hair can be seen excepting the puffs covering the ears, but happily the velyet brim casts a soft shadow which, by mak- ing the eyes look larger and darker, adds to the attractiveness of the face. On some of these hats are two long loops of sash ribbon, wired, and root- ed in a long twisted knot forming an algrette which projects stralght out- ward from the side of the brim and in no way marring the sharp outline of the shape. But if a perfectly flat ensemble is preferred (some millin- ers maintain that the tailored hat should be guiltless of projections), there may be placed against the brim and extending from it part way over the crown, a large, square cabochon ef Oriental brocade, of cari-hued| beads working out a Grecian. design or of heavy tinsel lace embroidered with coarse floss. Tableau Chapeaux. Even the socalled Tableau Chapeaux are noticeably smaller, of late. Those worn by the bridesmaids at a recent smart wedding, had low crowns against which were pressed four-Inch-wide brims that flared at the right side and pointed sharply beyond the left ear, making a new variation of thé Napoleon. They were of skunk- edged corbeau blue silk beaver decor ated at the left front brim with a clus- ter of roses and follage in pale ‘gold tinsel. Still smaller was the maid of honor’s headgear—a hat having a perfectly flat circular crown of cream colored fine felt into whith was ‘shirred a drooping three-inch brim of golden brown chiffon velvet. It was posed at a decided tilt toward the left ear and from tho right side of its brim fell a bird of paradise matching the shade of her sable-band-trimmed yellow chiffon frock. In Silk Beaver. Vastly becoming and decidedly out of the ordinary, is the Trelawny tableau chapeau of moderate size. This shape {s most of all chic in silk beaver, and has a rounded low crown, a plush or yelvet faced brim which rolls very slightly at tke back and is correspondingly depressed at the front. Its outline should be soft- ened by a band of marabou or fur about the crown, and to be: truly pic- turesque and unusual looking there should be an extremely long ostrich plume, matching the color of the bea- ver, but centred from root to tip of stem with a narrow band of fur or marabou, projecting upward and back- ward from the left side. Velvet blouses for the house are immensely chic. In black and all tha fashionable dark shades they appear as belted coats—very short over the hips, very loose above the waist line and in front opening over a silk skirt with a soft collar and a lingerie frill. The long, wide sleeves are gath- ered into a wrist band but are opened at the other side to the elbow through which slit is drawn the lngerie frill on the under shirt's sleeve. 7 House Blouse for Winter. Spotted white net veiling satin fs eniployed in the development of a sen- sible sort of winter house blouse which has long sleeves set into slop- ing shoulder seams and fronts cross- ing over a high-collared guimpe of plain net. Despite its simplicity of jesign, this blouse is not severe, for wo deep frills of the spotted mate- lal cross the fronts diagonally from he waist Ine, and just below the shoulders under cabochons of gold |. nd silver tinsel. . Brocade in pale blue ‘or rose or} mauve trimmed with dark fur narrow | ands is made into a charming typs | ft dinner blouse. This model closes | nvisibly at the back, has a rounded- ut neck that is moderately low, half- | ' ength angel sleeves, and a cluster |‘ f silk and tinsel flowers. These |. hree distinct classes of blouses are | ‘ specially liked by women of rathor | | imited income whose social position | | equires smart dressing. s The illustration shows a velvet cos- ume without coat—this, is a delight: |! ul suggestion for a velvet gown. The | ' kirt is severely cut and is quite |" lain save for a hem of skunk ard)! ve silk tassels on each side. |: WIDE CHOICE IS ALLOWED Many Different Colors and Materials May Be Employed as Coverings for Large and Small Tables. White coverings are not best for tha table In the living room and it ts not necessary that the cover should hide the whole surface. There are many attractive materials which can be utilized as covers for table tops. Pieces of old brocades or embroideries can be picked up at reasonable prices at upholstering shops and if bound in a plain color or with wide gold braid are charming. Oval or oblong pieces of plain yelours, lined with "soft felt.or flannel make attractive and equally satisfactory covers for the Ort- ental rug environment. For small tables, Japanese mats, with their rich blues, greens and golds (or stripes of Oriental embroidery are just the thing. And what is more ap- propriate for the little old time sew- ing table than an old sampler with ita soft bits of color? Old-fashioned chenille covers if the colorings are right and not too gay are in vogue again, French cretonnes come in soft, rich colorings and soma. times in such odd designs that they have the appearance of tapestry. When finished with gold galloon no handsomer covers could be found than these cretonne squares. For rooms furnished {n the mission style strips and squares of heav7 crash bound with coarse colored lines: | make suitable covers, | Odd Sleeves. ‘The novelty of the moment in Paria is detected in the various kinds of sleeves completing our simple Greek. ‘draped gowns. There is a tendency, and one likely to spread, to make the sleeves in a material and color differ. ent from the dress. One would be it- clined to believe that this interesting innovation is partly due to the grad- ual shortening of the kimono sleeve. Some of the most clever effects are inspired from the middle ages in France. A few of these specimens ap- peared recently on the stage. The sleeves alone give the cachet to a sim- ple dress of white crepe de chino. They are tight fitting trom the elbow, and covered with raised flowers in cro- chet wool of polychrome eastern de- sign. Another old world touch Hes in the band of dark fur encircling the neck and crossing to the waist at the side. WORKED AS A NAN Sex of English “Longshoreman” Is Disclosed by Accident. cue e “Rather a Quiet Lad,” Say , Fellow: Workers of “James Palmer,” Toll- Ing With Them as Lighter man—Husband Tells Story. Newcastle-on-Tyne, Eng.—"Rather < quiet lad.” This was the descriptior given the other day by the employers of “James Palmer,” the victim of ar accident that resulted in the astound ing discovery that “he” is a woman. She underwent an operation at New castle infirmary and afterwards was visited by her husband, a sailor, from whom she had been separated. For.six months the woman, whose name {s Margaret Neilsen, has worked on the Tyneside as a man that she might support’ herself and two chil- dren. . During summet it is known she slept on a wherry or in the cabins of other boats—working during the days as a lighterman. It was while she was helping to load a wherry with steel plates that one of the plates fell on her, causing severe injuries. Then she had to re- vedl her secret and told the doctor thatsher husband was a German sailor, whom she had left. Both the employers and _ fellow- workers of “James” express the great- est surprise at the startling disclosure of her sex. They said “James” kept much to “himself.” Where the woman lived is still un- known, as she declines to give any further account of herself and the po- lice have been unable to find the chil- dren she mentioned. After identifying his wife, Neilsen gave some ‘astonishing details of her life. ‘He said he had not seen her since February last. “This,” he remarked, “is not’ the first time she has figured as a boy. For some time, years ago, she was ‘liftboy’ at one of the big houses in the West End of London.” ! Neilsen stated that he met his wife while he was a«steward on a Tyne- side boat running between London and Newcastle, and they married nine years ago. He became a chef and she linen maid at a temperance hotel. but owing to financial difficulties they decided to return to Newcastle. Then they quarteled and his wife summoned him for persistent cruelty. rhe charge was, dismissed, but on:a ater occasion she obtafned an order, ind since then, he said, his wife had iad him arrested for maintenance ar- ears. He added that he was a German subject, and his wife became German mn her marriage. He had sued in the serman high court for restitution of onjugal rights and obtained an order or his wife to pay costs, which she 1ad not done, nor had she obeyed the irder. In February last he met her casual- y and, as she réfused to return, he nstituted divorce proceedings. These; vere to have come up on the day be ore the accident, The children were eing looked after by his wife's peo- ri ROBBERS PASS BY @ DOGS They Stop Chase and Meant Well, but Canines Attack Wrong Persons in Excitement. € Chicago—Two dogs frustrated the capture the other night of three rob- bers, who added the latest crime to the long list of recent months, and probably prevented the obtaining of information which might have led to the apprehension of the band, which 1s thought to be organized for depredations in Chicago. The dogs, instead of capturing the thieves, as brave canines in the “movies” are shown to do, allowed the robbers to pass them unmolested and turned their attack.on the pur- suers, * The robbery occurred in a jewelry store In West Twenty-sixth street, when a display window was broken and gold rings valued at $500 taken. Two passengers on a Twenty-sixth /street car leaped to the pavement and gave chase to the robbers, only to be stopped within a few feet by the onslaught of the dogs. The canines are owned by Peter Dreyje. The pursuers were forced to turn back and were chased for more than a block before Dreyje called his dogs off. * CART ONLY HOTEL FROM TOWN County Attorney Asks Santa Fe Resl- dents to Shelter Jurors— Frosty Sleeping Outside. Santa Fe, Kan.—Because of a mir- der trial that opened here the other day in the district court and the fact that the only hotel in Santa Fe was carted away on trucks to Sublette, a new town, last month, many villagers prepared to sleep in the postoffice and livery stable. The following notice was posted in the public square: “People who have spare beds are re- quested to report to the county at- torney in order that the jurors, at torneys and others interested in the Hartley trial, may be taken care of. We have no hotel now, and it fs a lit- tle frosty sleeping 6n the buffalo grass.” , The trial was that of B. F. Hartley, a wealthy -cattleman, charged with killing E. O. Balla, another cattle dealer.
