The Appeal

THE APPEAL KEEPS IN FRONT BECAUSE: 1- It aims to publish all the news possible. 2- It does so impartially, wasting no weeks. 3- Its correspondents are able and energetic. VOL. 30. NO. 13. PILOTS FOR SHIPS THROUGH CANAL CAPTAINS MUST ABDICATE Official Pilot Will Be Deputy on Every Vessel That Passes—Engines Will Be Locked With Special Device From Entrance to Exit—To Furnish Supplies at Mouth. Colon, Panama.—That the Panama canal will not only be ready for commercial shipping in July, but so safe as to be "bool proof" from a sailor's point of view, is the assurance by Captain Hugh Hugh Umpan, U. S. N., who will have entire charge of all the details of putting shipping through. According to Captain Rodman, the meteorological conditions are more favorable for shipping at the entrances of the Panama canal than at almost a port in the world of anything like the ocean of Colon, Balbon. At Colon the completion of one breakwater and the far advance of another give a still water entrance to the canal. The aids to navigation through Gatun lake have been made so clear that, as he believes, captains will find the passage through, day or night, as safe and easy as a walk down Broadway and the Culebra cut passage as safe as any large river. All vessels entering the canal will have a canal pilot, who will take the ship to an anchorage, from which she may not move without permission of Captain Rodman or one of his port captains, conveyed officially through the plato. The officials who visit ships must report to Captain Rodman as head of the department of canal operation. As soon as the quarantine officer releases a ship one of the other canal officials will go on board. As soon as a ship moves toward the canal its wireless and all signal arrangements will be under the immedi- CAPTAIN HUGH RODMAN. ate control of the canal authorities, represented by the canal pilot. In addition to the wireless and the international code signal systems each pilot will have with him certain "shape" signals. At three commanding points on the line canal signal stations have been provided, so that from one of them every ship will be practically in sight during its entire passage. The engines of a ship will be turned over to the canal authorities the moment the vessel ties up to the approach wall of the canal locks. The engines will immediately be locked by the canal officials by means of a steel chain and a sealing device. This lock will be under the constant watch of a canal guard and an engineer of the ship until after leaving the locks, when its removal is ordered by the canal pilot on board. The pilots have been selected by Captain Rodman, and for three months he has been instructing and training them. Four of them are from the canals of the great lakes, men who have had experience taking the large ore ships through the Sault Ste. Marie canal. With these will be associated a number of picked men who are thoroughly familiar with conditions at the Panama canal. At the Pacific entrance to the canal, Captain Rodman says, ships will find a hide interference whatever and an abhorrence of an anchorage room. When a vessel enters the canal authorities in advance of its arrival as to what supplies are needed they will be put on board in the quickest possible time. The law authorizing the furnishing of supplies to shipping at cost is interpreted here to include the making of repairs at cost, and this also will be done. Captain Rodman graduated in 1880, and all except six years of his service since has been at sea. He has been around the world five times and has commanded ships in nearly every big port in the world. It was Rodman whom Admiral Dewey sent to demand the surrender of the Spanish batteries on Corregidor island, outside of Manila bay, and later those at Subilbay. GENERAL SELECTS HIS COFFIN John P. Taylor, in Good Health, Makes Funeral Plans. Philadelphia—General John P. Taylor, a civil war veteran and member of the Gettyburg battlefield commission, although apparently in good health, is making advanced preparations for his funeral. He has placed an order for a solid bronze coffin to be cast from old cannon, and a vault has been sunk in the private Taylor burying grounds on his estate, near Reedville, Pa. The general plans to have this covered by a big granite block to be surmounted by a bronze statue of himself. The firm which obtained the contract for the coffin has been instructed to ship it to a Lewistown undertaker to be held until needed for the execution of the contract he holds for the burial of the veteran. General Taylor despite his eighty-six years is still robust and enjoys a backsearce rialmost daily. He is a member of the National Monument club and a former commander of the Legion of Honor. CAN'T KEEP OUT OF JAIL. Of His 29 Years Almost 20 Have Been Passed In Prison. Topeka, Kan.-Arthur Patton, who in his twenty-nine years has had only nine years of freedom, is in jail charged with stealing wagon wheels. Patton when nine years old was sent to the reform school for petty thievery. He was paroled, but had been free less than a week when arrested for stealing food from a home in Osage City. After finishing his expired sentence in the county, he returned to Osage City, where he was arrested for burglary and sent to prison. Last summer Governor Hodges paroled Patton from the penitentiary on the ground that he had never had a chance. He was given a job in a packing house. He had worked hard and conscientiously until his recent arrest Oxford, England. — The annual report of the Rhodes trust shows that the American scholars during 1913 had a better scholarship record than in any year since the system was started. The whole number of Rhodes scholars in residence during the year was 175. Altogether the Rhodes system now represents about an eighteenth part of the whole student body. Only three Rhodes scholars are working merely for a pass degree. Most of them are out of college or of whole they seem to be standing the test of Oxford standards well except in classics. Only one first was obtained in classics, and this was by an American from the Pacific coast. In the other departments the scholars held their own. In jurisprudence they gained five firsts out of seven awarded. The question of what becomes of the Rhodes scholars after their many years of study is answered in the report: More than one-fourth of the 431 Rhodes men who have been graduated from Oxford since the system was started have kept on with education as their work about 70 have done in law or lawyery into the civil service of the British empire, the United States or Germany, twenty-five have become physicians eighteen have gone into business, eighten have turned to the church and a small group is divided among journalism, agriculture and science. SELECTS GRAVE AND DIES. Pennsylvanian Had Premonition That End Was Near. Grove City, Pa.-M. E. Vogan of Erie, a former resident of this place, dropped dead a few minutes after he had selected the site for his grave. While Vogan lived several years ago his daughter died. Since then he had visited her grave from time to time. One evening he took Jack Ewing, a girl in a spot beside his daughter's grave, said, "Ewing, I have a premonition that I'm going to die, and I want to bury me right there." Vogan then left the cemetery, walked 500 yards and fell dead from heart disease. He was buried beside his daughter. MOLASSES STICKS A SHIP. Too Cold to Run, Vessel Can't Unload and Loses Charter. Hostaon.—The proverbial slowness of cold molasses has been demonstrated again. As a result the tramp steamer Ixia has lost a charter. She is a tanker equipped to discharge a full cargo in two days and arrived here two weeks ago with 500,000 gallons of molasses. The cold wave thickened the molasses. Pipes were clogged, pump made of little use, and the Ixia worked two weeks instead of two days to discharge the freight. Mule Footed Hogs Sell High. South Boston, Va.-E. B. Craddock of Chester Springs, Va. has been raising mule footed hogs in quantities for four years. He sells them for a big price. They are said to be immune from cholera, but this is disputed. THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN.. SATURDAY. MARCH 28, 1914: IDENTIFIES J. C. R. AS HER LOST SON SAYS HE IS EARL RANDOLPH. Left For Gold Fields, but Never Returned-Superintendent of Infirmary Believes Mystery is Cleared After Seven Years-Tattoo Mark Similar to One on Arm of Her Missing Son. Chicago—"J. C. R." the "man of mystery," who has been confined for seven years in public institutions in Illinois and Minnesota, has been identified again, this time as Earl Randolph, who went to the Nevada gold mines from his home in this state. Mrs. E. I. Randolph, who says she is his mother, made the identification. In the opinion of James Fullenbach, the superintendent, the identification is complete, though at the woman's request he refuses as yet to tell where she lives. "That is my son, I am certain of it." Mrs. Randolph said when Mr. Fullenbach confronted her with his patient. "I cannot be mistaken. He left home seven years ago for Nevada, and we have never heard from him since." "J. C. R." looked at her and smiled, but gave no sign of recognition. A circle tattooed on his arm was shown to Mrs. Randolph, and she said her son was marked with just such a design. She will see "J. C. R." again and try to make the identification positive. Mrs. Randolph, who is an inmate of the Minnesota Asylum for the Insane at Rochester for more than six years, during which time one claimed or identified him and he was unable to say a single word in elucidation of his past. He had been picked up on the station platform at Wasca, Minn., in July, 1907, partly paralyzed and a victim of aphasia. He became a public charge and was removed to the Rochester institution. where an operation was performed. The surgeons found the brain cells in such a state of deterioration that they doubted whether he would ever recover his memory or speech. He was predicted though that he might succeed. This prediction has not yet been realized, though "J. C. R." in time became able to understand a part of what was said to him. He has never spoken a word since his treatment began. The man is described as about forty-five years old, of medium height, with hair tinged with gray and appealing brown eyes. Several times he has been "identified," once as Lieutenant Rostrom, an officer of the navy, who was said to be the Spanish himself at Matanzas in the Spanish, and then mysteriously disappeared. This and other "identifications" failed to stand the test. DOG LEADS TO CHILD. Tugs at Mother's Apron Until She Understands What Is Wanted. Harrison, Ark.-If Mack, the English settler belonging to the family of Jim Jones, one mile west of town, did not save the Jones baby from injury he at least eased the little fellow's fear from being lost when he summoned help. The baby strayed from the Jones home to the main road a quarter of a mile away and succeeded in losing himself in the underbrush and weeds. His cries did not attract the one. They worried the dog, and seized her apron and tried to make her follow him toward the door. He repeated his effort before Mrs. Jones guessed what was wanted. When she started, Mack ran before her to where the child was hidden in the weeds. CLASHES WITH PANTHER. Hunter Wins, but Gets Pretty Well Clawed in the Fight. Ulkah, Cal.-Albert Jeans, a rancher of the Anderson valley section, is nursing brushes received in a hand to claw fight with a panther. The animal sprang upon him while he was bending over the body of its mate that he had just shot, and it was only after a desperate struggle that he managed to break the hold of the beast and to shoot it. Jeans caught the first panther in a trap and shot the animal. It measured nine feet five inches from tip to tip. The second, with which Jeans had the fight, was only a trifle more than six feet long. SHIP ORE BY PARCEL POST. Mail Carriages in Mining Districts Face Hard Problems. Butte. Mont.-The mail carrier on the route between Sites and Elk City, Idaho, got notice that three mines in the Elk river district will ship three carloads of concentrates in fifty pound packages by parcel post to the smelter at Butte. A requisition will be obtained from the postoffice department authorizing the carrier to employ freighters. Mines in the Elk river district expect soon to ship all their concentrates by parcel post instead of by freight as in the past. REALLY A BROADSIDE. Trucks & Trailers Tests on New Ship Shoek Teeth in Mouths of Her Crew. Boston.—With rubber juds between teeth and cotton stuffed into their ears to ease the jar, the crew of the new Argentine Dreadnought Rivadavia stood on tiptoe while twelve twelve-inch guns and six six-inch ones were fired in one broadside from the port side of the giant fighter. Just to show that she could do it and still float—that was the condition of her acceptance by the Argentine government. The Rivadavia survived the test and the builders said that every requirement was fulfilled. The Dreadnought was somewhat shaken and some glass was broken, in spite of special copper shutters, but the structure stood firm and another test salvo was fired for good measure. The Rivadavia is called the heaviest ordnance warship afloat. She will carry 1,300 men and cost $11,000,000. SAY HE ATE THE CHECK. Accused Man Is Nevertheless Bound Over to Grand Jury. Portland, Ore.-Although he ate the documentary evidence against him while on the witness stand in full view of court attaches and spectators, according to officials, Samuel Matesheon, a Seattle contractor; was bound over to the grand jury by Municipal Judge Stevenson on a charge of passing a bad check for $35. Matheson, while testifying in his own behalf, asked to be allowed to examine the check, retaining it while being questioned. He was noticed holding his handkerchief to his mouth, and court attaches said his jaws were busily working. Later, when the prosecution called for the check, the prisoner declared he did not have it. A search failed to reveal the slip. Berlin.—Ex-Queen Natalie of Servia has decided to forgive and forget her tragic history in the country where her unhappy married life was passed and where her son, King Alexander, and his spouse were assassinated. She has turned over 27,000 acres to the Belgrade university, a valuable collection of arms made by King Milan and King NATALIE, EX-QUEEN OF SERVIA. Alexander to the National museum and the libraries of her husband and her son to the Academy of Science at the Servian capital. Natalie became the wife of King Milan of Servia in 1875 at the age of sixteen. Her son, the ill fated Alexander, was born a year later, but by that time she and her husband were scarcely on speaking terms owing to his dissolute life. They separated in 1882 and Natalie went to Wiesbaden with her son. Two years later Milan succeeded in getting possession of Alexander and induced the metropolitan to grant him a divorce. This divorce desired elicited. Milan abdicated in 1889 in favor of Prince Alexander. Queen Natalie, who thereupon returned to Servia, was forced to go into exile in 1891, but in 1894 both she and her husband returned in triumph to Beilgrade and they were apparently reconciled. Their triumph, however, was short lived. The hand of Russia was seen in Servian politics under the sway of Alexander, who drove his father into exile, and Queen Natalie again left the country, never to return. The tragic death of Alexander and Queen Drnga followed in 1902 and Peter Karageorgetvich was called to the throne, the Obrenovich dynasty being extinct. Milan had died in Vienna in 1901 **Child's Prayer Answered.** Sagainn, Mich. "Dear Lord, tell mamma we are in the trunk and tell her to come quick." Mary Eight years old, this prayer when she and her brother, Leon, aged six years, found themselves trapped in a trunk into which they had climbed. Their mother, Mrs. Michael Hart, felt impelled to look in the trunk in an unused upstairs bedroom. Both children were unconscious, but were revived. Aggregate Loans Estimated at $5000, 000, and the Average Interest 150 Per Cent, or $750,000—Law of Congress Evaded by Money Lenders Moving Across Potomac to Virginia. Washington.—Of all the shady interests which are carried on by government employees in every department the "loan shark" evil is said to be the worst. For years department heads and bureau chiefs have failed to stamp out the class of men who carry on the business among their associates of lending small sums at excessively large rates of interest. In the office of the United States attorney for the District of Columbia are filed at the present time no less than fifty distinct charges of "loan shark," the offenders including professional money lenders. In a preliminary statement recently given out Assistant District Attorney Given said that no less than 1,000 complaints of violation of the loan shark law have been received from persons who requested that their names be not made public. A little over a year ago congress enforced a law against "loan sharking," which formerly ranged from 60 per cent to 300 per cent a year, were cut to 1 per cent a month. For a time it was believed that the business in Washington put their heads together and several of the professionals who maintained offices in the downtown section of the city tried the first evasion of the law. It is about twelve city blocks from the western edge of the downtown district to the Virginia side of the Potomac river. Within fifteen feet of the high water mark on the Virginia side of the river two or three of the lenders built offices and hung out three bails. An interurban electric line gave easy access to and from the city. Signs giving notice of the change of location were displayed before their downtown Washington offices and several other shops bore signs of a change of residence to Alexandria, Va., five miles down the Potomac. Thus by co-operation among the money lenders the entire professional "loan shark" business of Washington was moved to Virginia, with the exception of the "amateur" money lenders in the government departments. This, the police found, is the thing that the district attorney's office is determined to stamp out. It is said that a negro messenger in the treasury department accumulated over $50,000 during his thirty-five years' service through loaning small amounts at excess of interest. One of the money lenders established his Washington office and his office on the Virginia shore a half hour automobile livery service for clients in downtown Washington, across Potomac park and the Highway bridge into Virginia. It proved too expensive, however. Washington, filled with residents whose homes are elsewhere, has probably the most apathetic civic conscience in the world. 'its population is nearly as cosmopolitan as that of Atlantic City, and there is a spirit of rivalry as to dress and "front" in the very municipal atmosphere. A man with a government position has a prestige in his home community that few other positions of employment confer. The incumbent thinks he must live up to it by aping the dress and manners of the idle rich. The messenger with a salary of $600 or $700 a year aims to be the most important person. He does not want the public to think he is a mere messenger. The clerk would be a division chief, and he aspires to dress the part. He goes the messenger one better by allowing himself to be drawn into the ultra atmosphere of petty social affairs in Washington, which rarely get him anywhere. The division chief likes to be mistaken for an assistant secretary. And thus the merry game goes on. HEARS LAST RITES BY PHONE Telephone Enables Dying Man to Attend Wife's Funeral. Paterson, N. J. - Ex-Judge James Inglis, confined to his bed by pneumonia, heard by telephone the funeral services conducted over the body of his wife in the parlor below. A bell-like transmitter was installed in the parlor, and wires updrapt to the room where Judge Inglis lay. When the Rev. Davis Stewart Hamilton, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal church, began the service a receiver was lifted to Judge Inglis' ear and was kept there until the last word was spoken. spokes. ____ Operate For Old Dog Bite. New York.—Physicians have found it necessary to operate on Miss Els F. Hobby for an infection of the left leg caused by a dog bite fourteen years ago.

Cambridge Boy Gets the Family Doctor to Fix the City's Books. tor to Fix the City's Books. Boston. After being registered for sixteen years as a girl in the city clerk's office at Cambridge, Frederick Melanson of that city forced the clerk to correct the official birth registration book. The boy wanted to go to work and applied for the necessary birth certificate. At city hall a clerk searched through the files and said, "The only Melanson we have in that year is a girl born to J. A. me." said Fred. "I can't take your word for it," said the clerk. Frederick hustled to the office of the family physician, Dr. Lancaster, and brought him to the clerk's office. "I remember perfectly the day he was born," the doctor and took the required oath to this. The clerk's book now reads, "Frederick Melanson, boy, born April 30, 1888." GIRL WANDERS IN SLEEP. Kalamazoo Miss Awakens In the Streets of Battle Creek. Battle Creek, Mich.-Walke in the streets of Battle Creek and asking a policeman where she was, Miss Myrtle Green of Kalamazoo, fourteen years old, was taken home by Captain Putnam and County Agent Thayer of her home city, ending a search that had been instituted by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Green. The theory is that the girl, in a somnambulistic state, boarded an interurban car at night and came as, far as her money took her, to Urbandale, the walker of a family and when seen in Kalamazoo was on her way to church. She seemed dazed when found here, but recovered her senses later. New York - Tobacco smoking causes a decrease of 10.5 per cent in mental efficiency, according to a series of experiments by Dr. A. D. Bush. There was a series of 120 tests on each of fifteen men in several different psychic fields. The subjects volunteering for the experiments all were medical students ranging in age from twenty-one to thirty-two years, of varying previous experience, from the farm laborer to the lifelong student, of divergent mental capacity, from the failure to the honor student and of differing habits as to tobacco addiction. The subjects were attendants at the University of Vermont, where Professor Bush is an instructor in physiology. Among his findings are: The greatest potential loss was in the field of imagery, 22 per cent. The three greatest losses were in the fields of imagery, perception and association. The greatest loss in these experiments occurred with cigarettes. Nicotine was found in the distillates of all tobacco tested. Nicotine was not found in the smoke of any tobacco except that of cigarettes, and then only in traces. Pyridine was found in the smoke of all tobacco tested. Pyridine is one of the decomposition products of nicotine, the latter being almost twenty-two times as poisonous as pyridine, so far as its action on the human body is concerned. This was the first extensive investigation of the mental effect of smoking. The recent tests at Columbia university and elsewhere were chiefly for the physical effects on students in athletic training. HARVARD LEADS IN CONGRESS Has Forty Representatives There. While Yale has Only Ten. Cambridge, Mass.—Harvard university takes all the honors in representation in the Sixty-third congress, with Yale running a poor second and Princeton in third place. There are seventeen graduates of Harvard in the house of representatives, many of whom are from Massachusetts, and there are twenty-three Harvard alumni in the senate. The total Harvard representation is forty. Yale, which is runner up in the collegiate political competition, has a total of ten, with five alumni in the house and five in the senate. Princeton, with a graduate in the chief magistrate's chair, has two graduates in the house and two in the senate. MAY WAR ON CATS. Extermination is Asked by a Game Protective Association. Tacoma. Wash. -The domestic cat is doomed if the recommendations adopted by the Pierce county branch of the Washington State Game Protective and Propagation association, at its annual meeting at the Tacoma hotel, is adopted by the Pierce county game commission. War on tabby was declared because she has turned out to be an enemy of wildlife life. The association requests the commission to offer a small bounty for each domestic cat killed to further extermination. --- $2.40 PER YEAR UNEMPLOYED GET WORK ON FARMS State Lends Aid In Solving Vexing Labor Problem. EXAMPLE FOR ALL CITIES. Following Recommendations by Governor Glynn of New York, Labor Bureau Sends Jobless Men to Farmers, Who Find Great Difficulty In Obtaining Laborers. Albany, N. X.-In his efforts to solve the problem of providing labor for the vast army of unemployed men in New York and in order to set an example for other cities where similar industrial conditions exist Governor Glynn and his investigators have hit upon a novel scheme and one which, it is hoped, will in a measure solve the vexing question. Investigators for the state get into communication with farmers who need farm hands. Their expenses are paid to the farms, and the men accept jobs that pay from $20 to $35 per month, including board. This was the first practical application of Governor Glynn's plan of solving the problem of unemployment in the cities and meeting the unprecedented demand for labor in the rural districts. Two car loads were shipped first under the direction of C. W. Larmon, deputy state commissioner of Photo by American Press Association. C. W. LARMON agriculture, in charge of the state's labor bureau, and it is expected that they will be followed by many more before the supply in New York city is exhausted. The farmers round about Fonda, N. Y., were on hand to offer the men jobs as soon as they arrived. A part of the courthouse was set aside to accommodate the influx of farmers and job hunters, and the local grangers made all the other arrangements for the bringing together of the men who want work and the men who want workers. Two or three of those who started are married men, and they were permitted to take their wives with them, as there is opportunity for women to get work on the farm as house workers. "I have every reason to believe that this plan will succeed," said Larmon. "Most of these men are honest men very eager for work. The vagrants and the perennial out-of-works don't care to go into the country to work because of course. I am not technical enough to think that this is going immediately to remedy the whole unemployment question in New York, but even if we only send up state 4,000 or 5,000 men it will help. "Just as the supply of laborers is greater in the city this year than ever before the demand for laborers in the country is greater than in any year I can remember. As soon as the laborers arrive in these places they will be met by an agent from the department of laborers in a few hours later. We are sending naturally, only such men as we are satisfied will make good on the farm. "What we are doing in the majority of cases is simply correcting the fault the men made when they drifted to the city. We are carrying them back again from where they started and, contrary to a prevalent belief that they won't want to go, they are enthusiastic about it. The department feels humiliated to see eggs, meats and all the farm products coming in from the Argentine and even from countries as remote as Siberia. There is no reason why there should be such a falling off in agricultural production. During the past year there has been a decrease of 45,000 in the number of cows kept in New York state. This example is typical." Eagle Comes to Town. Pittsburgh—An eagle perched on the window sill at the office of John Burrell, general passenger agent of the Pennsylvania lines in Union station.

Every true Christian should be glad to learn of the remarkable growth of Mohmmedanism. Among the colored peoples of the world it is outstripping Christianity. This may seem a queer statement but it is true. Christianity is so decadent in America today that there are few real Christians except Afro-Americans. The souls of American Caucasians have been so warped by the infamous color prejudice rampant in this country that in the majority of cases they are not true followers of the Nazareme. Before the awful color line American Christianity stands paralyzed and dumb. There are today 5,000,000 more Moslems than Christians in the British empire. One-seventh of the whole human race is Mohammedan and the proportion is not at a standstill; it is increasing yearly. In Asia and Africa more natives are becoming Mohammedans every year that are turning to Christianity. Today nearly all of the sacred places named in the Bible are under Mohammedan rule. There is a reason why the colored races cling to the religion of Mohammed. It is a religion in which there is no color line. The brotherhood of man is not a mere figure of speech as it is in Christianity, but a living reality. The orientals are too shrewd to be caught in any large numbers by a jimcrow religion, for that is what it means when Caucasian Christianity gets them into its clutches. The conquest of Colored America for Mohammedanism has not yet begun, but it is coming some day, THE AP-PEAL believes and predicts and the brotherhood religion will spread like wildfire. FAVORABLE TO TERRELL The Senate Judiciary Committee has favorably reported the nomination of Robert H. Terrell to be Judge of the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia. This was done only PROTEST AGAINST WRONG. To submit in silence makes cowards out of me The human race has Had no voice been in ignorance and lust; the serve the law, and guild disputes. The few who dare, again to right the wrong To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust; the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our last disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. after a long and heated discussion of the matter. The opposition to Judge Terrell was made entirely on the ground of race, for the members of the committee admitted that seldom had an appointee received better recommendations than had Judge Terrell. The sub-committee to which the Terrell nomination had been referred, consisted of Senators Shields of Tennessee, Fletcher of Florida and Root of New York. Senators Shields and Fletcher opposed Judge Terrell's confirmation and Senator Root favored it. The matter was finally decided in the full committee. Although the committee has reported the nomination of Judge Terrell favorably, the fight against his confirmation has just begun. Senator Vardaman of Mississippi, who has announced that he will oppose with all his strength the confirmation of any Afro-American to high office, will lead the opposition to the confirmation and he will have strong support from other Southern Senators. It is possible that the nomination may be held up for months. JEEF DAVIS IN THE CAPITOL. A statue of Jeff Davis, the arch traitor who tried to disrupt the Union in order that human slavery should be preserved and extended, is soon to be added to the collection in Statuary Hall in the Capitol at Washington. The statue will be a contribution to the Nation from the state of Mississippi. The more or less grand old Commonwealth of Mississippi has contributed the arch demagogue Vardaman who represents the state in the United States Senate, because its Afro-American citizens have been robbed of their votes. Mississippi has also contributed to the world the greatest number of lynchings which have taken place in any state in the Union. The unlawful and unjustifiable slaughter of Afro-Americans has made Mississippi a veritable shambles. Whither are we drifting? What is to be the end of a Nation which permits its citizens to be murdered by mobs; accepts as Senators men who openly boast in the Senate Chamber of the murder of their fellows; a Nation which attempts to degrade some of its citizenry by discriminatory laws and allows the segregation as lepers of men and women who have won their places after severe tests and in spite of the prejudice against them? A statue of Jeff Davis in the Capitol at Washington! ALWAYS RIGHT TO PROTEST. A number of colored newspapermen met recently in Nashville, Tenn., and among other things decided not to protest against segregation "owing to the changing attitude of the Southern whites." The attitude is undoubtedly changing but it is for the worse. There were more lynchings in 1913 than in 1912; the unjust franchise laws are still in force; segregation in the government service is a matter of fact; ghettoes are being established in many Southern cities; the jimcar car is still running; discriminating laws are being enacted by "our good friends" in the Southern legislatures. Thousands of wrongs are being done every day. THE APPEAL believes that the newspapermen have made a very serious mistake in this the greatest crisis since the civil war. We should always protest against wrong. It is not necessary to use violent or abusive language; a protest may be couched in courteous terms. The principal mission of the colored press is to aid in righting the wrongs of the race. If it falls to do this there is really no excuse for its existence.

Through its body runs the black blood of coarse lust, suspicion, jealouay and persecution and all the darkest poisons of the human soul. —H. G. Wells in N. Y. Independent. God preserve our Nation! Ella Wheeler Wilcox. ored employees in the government departments was introduced in the House of Representatives recently, by Congressman Edward of Georgia. The Edwards bill provides that "white clerks or employees shall not be required to occupy the same offices or work rooms with clerks or employees of African blood or descent, nor shall any white clerk or employee be placed under the orders, direction or supervision of any person of African blood or descent." The bill was referred to the committee on reform in the Civil Service. The following is a list of the members of the committee. It would be well to write to the members from your state protesting against the bill and asking that it be killed in the committee: Hannibal L. Godwin of North Carolina. Charles D. Carter of Oklahoma. Martin Dies of Texas. C. O. Lobeck of Nebraska. Lewis L. Morgan of Louisiana. Stephen A. Hoxworth of Illinois. Denver S. Church of California. Lathrop Brown of New York. George C. Scott of Iowa. Martin B. Madden of Illinois. James Manahan of Minnesota. Silas R. Barton of Nebraska. James W. Bryan of Washington. It would also be well to make a general protest against the enactment of jim crow legislation of any kind by Congress. AFRO-AMERICAN RIGHT WORD. We congratulate our up-to-date contemporary the Chicago Defender on its new "make up." It is chock full of news and presents a fine appearance. We are especially pleased that the Defender has adopted the word Afro-American as a racial designation. It is a shame that it is necessary in this alleged land of the free to differentiate between Americans, but it is true. Who has not been disgusted by the use of the word Negro with a small "n" as is almost invariably the case in the daily newspapers. Although the words Jew, Mexican, Filipino, Chinaman, Japanese are always capitalized, Americans of more or less African blood have been described as "negroes" and "negresses," as if they were wild animals. In view of the fact that not more than one-third of the Americans of African descent are of pure Negro blood it follows that the word Negro is not correct, while Afro-American would include people of various percentages of admixture and if generally adopted the daily papers would be compelled to capitalize it. The word Afro-American has been used by THE PEALF for thirty years. UNJUST JUDGE DENOUNCED. Judge Willis of the criminal department of the Superior Court of Los Angeles, California, sentenced a young colored man to thirty years in the penitentiary for highway robbery, although his only loot was a white girl's kiss. When the fact became generally known that so unjust a sentence had been imposed white women sent in protests, threats of recall and denunciations. Deputations of white women visited the judge to demand that action be taken to save the young man from such severe punishment. Telephone messages informed him that petitions were being prepared for his recall. Other women called in person to say that steps would be taken to procure a pardon from the governor. The action of the women shows the difference between California and the South. If the "highway robbery" had occurred in Vardaman's state there would have been a lynching. Is it not about time to start another petition to President Wilson asking him to stop segregation in the departments? The Afro-American must learn never to give up the fight against injustice. SCORES SEGREGATION Oswald Garrison Villard, Grandson of William Lloyd Garrison, Writes a Strong Article for the North American Review. On October 16, 1912, Woodrow Wilson, then the Democratic nominee for President, declared that: "Should I become President of the United States, they (the colored people) may count upon me for absolute fair deal for everything by which I could be in advancing the interests of their race in the United States." This utterance complete satisfaction to those leaders of the colored people and the friends of the race who were urging them to break away from their thraldom to the Republican party and to vote for the governor of New Jersey on the ground that the country would profit most by the victory of the Democratic ticket. Qualified voters believe that many more colored men voted the Democratic ticket in 1912 than ever before. It was with dismay, therefore, that early in the Administration of Mr. whose Cabinet is equally divided, the Southerners and Northerners, and given the chance to certain quarters a distinct chance to the colored people. For a long time no appointments of Negroes were made by the President. Then Mr. Wilson, the Adam E. Patterson of Oklahoma for the Secretary of the Treasury, a place by colored men. Patterson's nomination was the signal for outbursts from the most violent negrophobes in the State, Solent like Hoke Smith of Georgia, and the white women clerks. With object cowardice, Mr. Wilson declared that Patterson should not be confirmed, or any other colored man, for an office which would put the white women clerks. With object cowardice, Mr. Wilson declared that White House and demanded his name be withdrawn. Unwilling at this time to meet the issue thus raised, Mr. Wilson consented to his and Rosevelt's Presidents Cleveland and Roosevelt, similar circumstances, put the responsibility the Senate by continuing to nominate the colored candidates for office and giving them recess appointments when not in session. Instead, Mr. Wilson appointed a Cherokee Indian as Register. * When a group of citizens holds so far Federal offices as do the colored people, each one takes on a significance far beyond any question of the salary or powers that may be attached to it. This is particularly true of the Minister of Haiti and San Dominic, one of the stock Southern objection not one of the appointments holds here; these ministers accredited to colored people where the bogie of social equality cannot be raised. Under Mr. Wilson both of these posts have gone, temporarily and doubtless for reasons satisfactory. Bryan, to white men. The colored posts accepted this as notice from the White House that the remaining offices herefore given to colored men were to be taken from them. Alarming as this was, on top of it came the startling news that for the first time in the race prejudice the Federal Government race prejudice had not swing in some of the Departments inington. What had not been dreamed of under Mr. Cleveland, though begun in one office under Mr. Taft, was being attempted under Mr. Wilson—the segregation of Negro clerks, both men appeared it appeared that the Secretary of State had planned to put Patterson at the head of theclusively colored division upon the plea to use Mr. McAdo's own words —"that it would give the Negroes an opportunity of national dimensions, to prove their fitness to run, unaided by whites, an important bureau of the D.C. Department, why this benefit undertaking was why it was as it appeared that an Indian and not a colored man was to head the division has not appeared; if it had all the merit claimed for it, the colored people should not have been deprived of opportunity of collectively demonstrated success in the individual, has long been known to all familiar with the Government's operations. good enough to die alongside of white men in saving the day at San Juan Hill are now learning to know the gratitude of Republics. These colored people are that branded are not rostahoutbs, or corpse eaters, or worthless laborers. They are men and women, college graduates and them, from all over the country who have their civil service examinations and entered the Government's employ with full faith in its justice, asking the right to serve on equal terms with their fellows. The readers of The North West Review will understand the bitter humiliation of the segregation orders if they can imagine themselves set apart as unworthy by brute authority, but they can hardly appreciate the added sense that which comes from the fact that this is the Federal Government. The colored people born as patiently as the children of Israel bore their burdens, the wrongs of disfranchisement, the lynchings of burnings of innocent and gully, the car, the constant peeves of insults of low whites; these were the men of individuals or of States lately in rebellion. But that the Federal Government, under whose flag they have fought in every war, under whose flag they burned, in which struck their fetters from being scared, should now take the side of the oppressed in the year of the fiftieth anniversary of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation this is what hurts and ranks one of the slaves. Is it any wonder that one of the national race of national renown writes that he has never seen his people so discouraged and so embittered as to-day? They rightly declare—as must every fair-minded man free from prejudice—that this spells castle. They believe that it is intended to drive them out of the public service by serving it in an iterable for Negroes with self-respect; to enable them to the Assistant Secretaries of the Treasury has already held up the promotion of two colored clerks because of their color. Segregation is, beyond doubt, an entering wedge, and here a precedent of significance of it all. Let a precedent be established, and who shall say what we want to what lengths despicable officials will take their way by means of discrimination, intimidation, by aboveboard or underhand methods? Who shall prophesy to what extent this caste idea may not be developed in the decedent? If colored people can thus be set apart, colored people can be the spirit of the civil-service law and Constitution itself, why not Jews, for instance? * * * * * * * * * indeed, it may come to pass that Mr. Wilson will go down to history as the man who set in motion terrible forces that amount to adequate conception or provision of the dangers he was inviting. What he does not see is that if only one colored man or woman has been segregated it gives the deliberate lie to Mr. Wilson's promise to advance the interests of the race and violates his pledge of abolition. The man is injuring the President are not une defenders of this Government's reputation or honor and of the rights of the colored people, but those subordinates who by their official actions have made jubilous the President's word. Wittingly or unwittingly the Wilson Administration has allied it to the white people but put itself on the side of every torturer, of every oppressor, of every perpetrator of racial injustice in the South or the North. But the folly of raising this race issue does not stop there. It differs but very little from the one that rent the Union. The United States was, in its simplest terms, nothing else than an attempt of an aristocracy of cotton and land to create two classes of human beings in this country, the slaves and the landowners, to deprive the Union and everything else to this end. Those who in this day and generation are seeking to establish two classes of citizens, the distraught and the landless, shall be two kinds of Government employees—as does Mr. McAdoo's Cabinet associate—they are on the high road to convulsing anew this land of liberty, which will never be freed. There are discriminations among its citizens. Upon their heads will be the responsibility of forcing the issue. To oppress any group of human beings, or to den them full equality, in this region there is certain to come a terrible reckoning.

THE ONLY SOLUTION. Recently at the Church of England Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica from 1907 to the end of 1912, put forward the claim that no solution of the American color question was possible except by a resolute disclaimer of the color line and the race differention theory. Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows what he is talking about. In the island of Jamaica, where he was governor for five years, there are about 800,000 colored whites and only 20,000 whites and yet there is absolutely no friction between the races. Jamaica is a British colony and the government is just. Colored men enjoy every civil and political right which white men have and there is no color line. Among other things Sir Sidney said: "My study and comparison of conditions in the United States and the West Indies," he said, "has brought me to that conclusion. American and colonial politicians and public men are not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor evangelical Christian missionaries. I do not expect them to adopt the methods of missionaries, nor do I sympathize with all their programmes. But it cannot be ignored that it happened that the faiths of the men who laid the foundations for the peaceful development of the mixed community in Jamaica were democratic and humanitarian and, above all, uncompromisingly Christian. "Were race differentiation held to it must increase civil discord. The balance of numbers is as it is in the South in America it must tend to foster obscure preparations for civil war and rebellion. If statesmen and citizens face in the contrary direction I do not say that they will attain immediately civil peace, but I am confident that they will be travelling the only road toward it. "I do not suggest that race does not greatly affect facilities for combination between humans in healthy national life, but race difference is only one of many schismatic agencies. The solution of the difficulty involves discipline for the white man as the black." WORK FOR VARDAMAN AND SMITH. Investigation of the history and habits of the parasites of the cotton boll weevil in a more comprehensive way than ever is proposed by Secretary Houston of the Department of Agriculture. He wants more funds appropriated with which to employ experts. Here is an excellent opportunity for Senators Vardaman and Hoax Smith and Representatives Heflin of Alabama and Clark of Florida to employ their talents. Instead of spending their time in vilifying Afro-American citizens over whose backs they have illegally climbed into power they might make speeches in Congress in favor of an appropriation to eliminate the boll weevil. This would really aid the South. It is said that President Wilson wishes to show the Afro-Americans that he is not inimical to them. He can do it easily and without fear from the opposition of Vardaman. Mr. President, just pass the word down the line that there is to be no more segregation in the service of the United States government; revoke the separate toilet order and declare that Afro-Americans are to be treated just the same as other classes of Americans.

A MILLION YEARS Recently a leading daily paper said that the Afro-American had been in contact with civilization only fifty years and therefore was not yet ready for higher education. Some Afro-Americans are also telling us that we that a child race only fifty years old and although we have made remarkable progress we must not go too fast. Now comes Dr. Hans Reick of the Berlin University and reports the finding of a fossil human skeleton in German East Africa which is possibly a million years old and is held to prove that a highly developed race of men inhabited the African continent. The oldest skeleton found in America is claimed to be only 100,000 years old and skulls have been found in Europe which are supposed to be from 200,000 to 500,000 years old, so brother Afro-American whether you are a mixed blood with American, European and African blood or a pure African, and any body comes around handing out any dope about the child race just tell him he is a—a prevariator. In whatever else 1913 was unlucky it was not in the matter of lynchings, for there were only 44 recorded, the lowest number of recent years, 250 being the highest. Of the number lynched only one was a white man. Nineteen of the victims were accused of murdering white men and four of killing white females. Attempted criminal assault was responsible for nine of the lynchings. Two were lynched for frightening white women, one for insulting a white woman, another for being concealed under the bed in a woman's room. Two were lynched for shooting or assaulting white men, one for robbery and shooting, one for assisting an Afro-American murderer to escape, another for horse stealing. In one case the crime charged against the victim was not stated. The record is horrible enough, but it gives some hope that this favorite pastime of the southern whites is on the wane. Regulation by the federal government of elections of representatives and senators was proposed in bills introduced this week by Senator Sherman of Illinois. He urged the right of the United States to protect the election of its own officers. MALE STENOGRAPHERS AND TYPEWRITERS IN DEMAND.

Portland, Me. — A story, which for novel features has few parallels is told by the crew of the schooner yacht Lydia, scuttled about ten miles off this port late in August, with the cremated body of her owner, James Freeman Bush, a wealthy paper manufacturer, resting on a table in the cabin. The sending of the handsome craft to her find anchorage with the ashes of Mr. Bush board was the result of a request from the wife in a hospital here, where he had been operated on and where he died. According to the story told by members of the crew and not denied by Mrs. Bush, the Lydia, aboard which Mr. Bush had spent a great deal of time in late years, left Portland late in August with all sail sgt. and towing a motorboat. Mrs. Bush was aboard. So were two close friends of Mr. Bush. On a table in the cabin lay the ashes of the owner. Captain Frank M. Skolfield of Cundy's Harbor, who had sailed the vessel for Mr. Bush, was at the wheel. About ten miles off the port the vessel was headed into the wind, the persons aboard were placed in the motorboat, and with an ax a hole was cut in the craft. Slowly she filled and sank to her grave.

I have no power to control myself when the impulse to do wrong seizes me. I am going to kill myself at the first opportunity." Pincus says he left home when he was eighteen years old because he was bad and couldn't help it. CONDUCTING INQUIRY INTO COST OF LIVING CONDUCTING INQUIRY INTO COST OF LIVING Washington.—An investigation into the reasons for the high cost of living which is nation wide in its scope has been going on quietly for some time at the direction of President Wilson. Administration officials are devoting particular attention to marketing methods in an effort to get at the root of the matter. The greater part of the work has fallen on Secretary of Agriculture Houston and his department. The problem of the high cost of living embraces two divisions, so far as the investigators are concerned. These are: How to afford means to the farmer to increase the production of his land and how to lift the burden of the steadily increasing cost of food from the masses. It is recognized by administration officials that scientific farming alone will not offer a solution of the problem, but that a study must be made of marketing facilities, organization and community effort in order that something effective may be done. It is admitted that there is considerable alarm over the fact that indications point to a sharp rise in the price of foodstuffs during the coming winter, and is purportedly the case with eggs and beef. The former beaumont been said, will rise to 75 cents per dozen, while warnings have been issued that beef may reach the dollar mark before long. Secretary Houston has formulated a list of questions which are being sent to farmers in all parts of the country. These questions deal with ownership, tenure, and the answers. Secretary Houston hopes to build the groundwork for his investigation. IN RUNAWAY WITH DYNAMITE. Yellow Jackets Attack Horses, and Explosive Is Tossed 'About. Wilkesbarre Pa. - While driving a team of horses attached to a wagon which contained 1,000 pounds of dynamite, George Willis had an exciting experience when a swarm of yellow jackets attacked the horses and they ran a way. For three miles the team dragged the wagon, dynamite and driver over a rough road. Willis realized that if he jumped the team and wagon would surely be blown to pieces, and he decided to take a chance and keep them in the road. Several times the wagon nearly upset, and the dynamite was tossed about. The horses stopped when exhausted. Another Comet Located. London. The fourth comet of the year was discovered by Senior Delran, assistant in the La Plata observatory in Argentine. It is of the tenth magnitude and is probably identical with Westphal's comet of 1852, which is due and with which Metcalf's comet, which was discovered a month ago, was mistaken identified.

W. Kelly and O. Lobbins, living side by side on St. Anthony avenue to celebrate the great event. The guests, principally the "old settlers," gathered at the residence of Mr. Kelley was very tastefully and appropriated. On the dinner table was a very large cake on which the figure "70" was outlined with tiny wax candles in little rose holders. The house was packed to overflowing and the gathering was most unique.

After the crowd got too large for comfort the male portion of the guests repaired to the residence of Mr. Lobbins, next door, where, as they, as the Hardwell Sloat says, in the "Almighty" had a H. T. O. (high old time). It had been intended that Mr. W. A. Hilary was to act as master of ceremonies, but owing to the sudden illness of his wife he was unable to be present and his place was very ably filled by Mr. G. W. James.

The ladies who had been left in the other house had a very good time among themselves, but they did not like it one bit, because they were shut out from the old stage. The man that preceded it presented a number of other useful and valuable gifts. Of course elegant refreshments were served in abundance. The entire occasion was most highly enjoyed and the guests, at a late hour, left the room. The man many happy returns of the day.

ACTIVE WORKER IN MANY FIELDS KNOWS HOW TO GET RESULTS Man Who Sold Newspapers on Streets of Chicago When a Boy Wins Distinction as a Legislator, Promoter of Big Business Enterprise, Secret Society Leader and Soldier. Chicago. Foremost among the young men in Chicago who are making good is to be found Major R. R. Jackson of the uniform rank of the Knights of Pythias of North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. He is a charter member of the Eighth regiment, national guard, and is at the head of the largest printing establishment operated by the race in this city. Major Jackson was born in Chicago Sept. 1, 1870, and received his early education in the public and high schools. He obtained his early business training by working as a newspaper merchant. He sold papers at Harrison and State streets nearly forty years ago, and by this he was able to care for his grandmother for a number of years and at the same time attend school. He also worked as an elevator conductor. Jackson only used his elevator position, however, as a means to an end, because while in this position he met many of the leading men of the city. He took the civil service examination, made good marks and was appointed to a clerkship in the Chicago postoffice, where he made a good record, serving twenty-one years. For twelve years Major Jackson served as assistant superintendent of Armour station, the highest position held by any member of his race in the Chicago postoffice system. While in this position in the postoffice Major Jackson proved his interest in his people. He was instrumental in having appointed 124 men and boys as clerks, carriers, janitors and special delivery messengers and has assisted over 100 men in securing positions in the various railroad offices in Chicago. For a young man he has a splendid record as a soldier. During the Spanish-American war when the Eighth Illinois regiment was ordered to the field Major R. R. Jackson was ready for duty. He made many friends in Cuba and showed while there his military ability. He is now working to secure for his regiment a military home and hopes to see this realized at an early date. Major Jackson was elected a member of the Illinois legislature, but was counted out by the machine. He contested his election and was seated just a short time before the legislature adjourned sine die. He made good use of his opportunity. Immediately upon being seated in the house of representatives Speaker McKinley recognized his worth by appointing him on the following committees: Chicago charter, fraternal and mutual insurance, federal relations, military affairs, miscellaneous subjects and municipal courts of Chicago. The first thing to claim his attention was the various jimcrow legislation pending in the house, and he went about the matter immediately and used his influence to check this unfair legislation. The intermarriage bill was brought before the committee on miscellaneous subjects, and Major Jackson, being a member, right there and then helped to bury it in an unknown grave. Then followed his good work on the "full crew bill," which would have put many men of the race out of the railroad service. This, like the other bill, was killed after the major had got in his work. In this he scribed his race and the state at the same time. The fifthth anniversary of the emancipation of the slaves claimed his attention, and he introduced a bill appropriating $25,000 for that purpose, which went through without opposition, receiving a unanimous vote.
