U. S. MEDIATORS ARE BROAD MINDED
Why Lamar and Lehmann Were Selected by President.
BOTH EXCELLENT LAWYERS
Men Able to Handle Delineate Legal Questions as Well as Show Patientia and Diplomacy Were Needed, and Wilson Named Prominent Attorneys For the Positions.
Niagara Falls.—When President Wilson was casting about for two men to represent the United States government at the mediation conference on the Mexican situation he made up his mind that an essential qualification of this government's representatives was a mastership of knowledge of law. He felt time came that the conference might be long out and that the mediators and the men from this country and Mexico must be told their respective interests would be confronted almost daily with legal problems of a more or less intricate nature. Furthermore, he felt that the men he selected must possess broad gauged

minds which would be able to grasp the problems of diplomacy as well as those of the law.
Consequently he selected two men who so far in their careers have advanced solely on their own merits as lawyers of extraordinary ability and men of unusual poise. One of them has arisen to the highest pinnacle of his profession, a position on the supreme bench of the United States. The other is a judge by a majority of the members of the supreme court to be the ablest lawyer practicing before that tribunal.
One of them, Joseph Rucker Lamar, associate judge of the United States supreme court, is a Georgian by birth, a southerner of southerners and a member of one of the most distinguished families in the country—a family which has given many strong men to public life. The other is a native of Prussia, who came to this country as a soldier during his early life in Iowa. Catching him in the young, the great middle west put its stamp on him forever, and any one would now recognize Frederick William Lehmann as a typical citizen of that section of the country.
As in their origin Uncle Sam's two representatives at the Niagara conference are totally dissimilar, so are they utterly unlike in personal appearance. Justice Lamar is tall, angular and austere looking. Mr. Lehmann is short. The dissimilarity between the two men really ends with their origin in training, for, while their outward appearance indicates that they are different in nature and general makeup, the fact is that their natures are really quite similar. Mr. Lehmann indicates in every movement and expression that he is genial, good tempered and fond of the society of his fellow men. Justice Lamar is the same sort of man, but does not look like a man of life and devoted to social intercourse. In the matter of their work and their careers they have reached the same point by different routes. Although one of the youngest members of the supreme court, Justice Lamar is noted for the inclidity of his opinions, the depth of his thought and the literary taste which he writes on legal topics. Mr. Lehmann is noted for his clarity of thought, the most tender care with which he prepares and the masterful manner in which he presents it before the higher judicial tribunals of the country.
FORTUNE FOR EDUCATOR.
Is Notified That He Is One of Three
Heirs to $25,000,000. Estate
Lawrence, Katie, taking the wealthiest schoolteacher in United States is the situation which has been followed upon Professor E. M. Wollank of the Pittsburgh Normal school, who has been notified that an estate of $2,500,000 has been left to him and his son and a Louisiana banker. The fortune was left by a great-uncle who died several years ago in Berlin. The will provided the money go to the male descendants of the Wollank line. Professor Wollank, his son and a banker, Delh, La., are the only heirs, and one-third of the estate. "Of course, will be glad to get the money," Professor Wollank said, "but I intend to keep on teaching." Professor Wollank has been at the normal school five years. He is a teacher of languages and is a widower.
GOSPEL AUTOS IN CHICAGO.
Will Try to Reclaim Wealthy as Well as Pennille "Savages."
Chicago. — Gospel automobiles were put into service here on the theory that there were more "religious savages" in Chicago than in "darkest Africa." Moody Bible Institute dedicated the first of several such gospel autos which will tour Chicago. The speakers will consider the wealthiest residence districts and the poorest tenement sections equally "savage" and will work in both. Five hundred men and women will take turns preaching every night for weeks, first in ghetto districts, then along the lake shore.
"We expect the wealthy will listen to the sermons just the same as the poorer people," said the Rev. W. W. Ketchum, who preached to a crowd at North Clark and West Division streets.
CONVICT MAY HARVEST CROP.
Kansas Governor Paroles Man Whose Family Needs Him.
Topeka, Kan. — Governor Hodges granted a parole of sixty days to W. F. Richards, a prisoner at the state penitentiary, so Richards might go to his home in Saline county and harvest his wheat crop. Richards entered prison last January under a sentence of from one to five years for selling mortgaged property. He was heavily in debt and, according to reports to the governor, his family has been dependent upon neighbors. He recently informed the governor the wheat which Richards planted last fall required to yield an abundant crop. The governor decided the family needed Richards for the next sixty days more than the state of Kansas did.
Norwich, Nornch. — Mr. and Mrs. Charles Courtney Haskell have just been celebrating the twentieth anniversary of their adoption of a "no breakfast" rule. Flaky oils, fragrant coffee, crisp bacon and eggs and delicately brown griddlecakes may have tempted them to break the rule, but they declare they have never yielded. Twenty years ago Mr. Haskell was fifty-four years old and an invalid, hopeless of regaining health, he says. After eight years of "doctoring" he met a certain D. Dewey of Meadville, who advised him to omit the early morning meal. Mrs. Haskell had suffered from asthma for fifteen years, both received to cut out breaks. "Now, for twenty years," says Mr. Haskell, "we have followed this plan of natural, hygienic, scientific, divining living, without the break of a single day, and whereas I was an old, worn-out man twenty years ago, today, at the age of seventy-four. I am in the enjoyment of permanent, perfect health, doing better and more effective work than ever before." Mr. Haskell says he persuaded Wu Ting Fang to adopt the no breakfast rule. During the most severe winter weather Mr. Haskell has given and carried his hat, baring his head to the sun, and seeming to enjoy it and grow rudely by it. Mr. Haskell was at one time a wealthy bookman. He published James G. Blain's life when Blain was running for the presidency and was said to have lost heavily when interest in Blain slumped.
BURGLAR LEAVES A NOTE.
Writes That the Children Make Too Much Noise to Suit Him.
Spokane, Wash.—A. L. White, president of the park board, was awakened by a servant calling that the house had been robbed. Investigation showed jewelry and clothing valued at $700 had been taken.
The burglar left behind a note which read:
"Your kids make too much noise and keep waking up, and it is now 5 o'clock so I cannot finish the job. Goodbye! see you did not buy a new overcoat."
Some weeks ago the White home was robbed of an overcoat, and it is believed the same thief was in the house a second time.
THE APPEAL MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
AFTER RIVER PIRATES.
Posse Organized to Exterminate the Wholesale Fresheners
Martinez, Cal.-River pirates, whose depreciations in the Carquines straits and the tide lands of the San Joaquin valley have caused farmers a loss of many thousands of dollars, are to be exterminated, it was learned here. With the co-operation of the federal authorities Sheriff R. R. Veale of Contra Costa county has organized a picked posse to wage war on the inland freebooters.
The chief source of revenue of the pirates is the merchandise producer pilled along river levees awaiting shipment. The method of the gangs is to moor a scow at night in midchannel and row to the wharves, from which the produce is removed and brought to the bay cities and sold. The delta section has been a rich field for the gangs.
CASPIAN SEA SINKING.
Steamships In Many Places Unable to Reach Landing Stages.
St. Petersburg.—The scientific world in Russia has for some time been occupied with a curious natural phenomenon. The surface of the Caspian has since June, 1910, been continually sinking and is now beginning to be inconvenient for navigation, as steamers in many places cannot reach the landing stages.
Professor Shoralaiki, commissioned by the government to study the subject, has ascertained that the amount of water contributed by the rivers flowing into the Caspian, especially the Volga, has considerably diminished. is therefore quite possible that the river water flowing into the sea is not sufficient to make good the loss caused by evaporation.
DOG FIGHTS FIVE MULES.
Result Is Four Dumb Patients For the Veterinary Hospital.
Clinton, Ind.—A bulldog attacked five mules in the barn lot near here. The dog took them one at a time, leaping at their throats. Repeatedly the mules shook off the dog, and twice they kicked him.
One mule picked the dog up by the skin of the back and shook him. When thrown to the ground the dog caught it and held to its throat until it willed its knees. The men who saw the combat and that another mule then pawed the dog so fiercely that it lay unconscious till carried from the lot.
The dog and three of the mules are now at a veterinary hospital.
Baltimore—Dr. Shosuke Sato, who has been studying the Japanese question in California at the direction of the emperor of Japan, said here that he would report to his sovereign that the only way the California land problem could be settled would be for the United States to grant citizenship to the Japanese now holding land in that state. He also said he would recommend that no more Japanese immigration be allowed.
"I have made a careful study of the California situation," said Dr. Sato, "and in my report to my government I will state that, in my opinion, there is but the difference between the settled states over the California question, and that is by granting citizenship to the Japanese now holding land in California. When this is done Japan will further trouble with the United States. There are at present about 100,000 Japanese in the United States, and over half that number are qualified to become citizens of this country.
"I will also recommend that no more immigrants come to this country. The matter can very easily be arranged by making an agreement or new treaty between the countries.
"Japan will show her friendship for the United States by not pressing the California matter until the Mexican question is settled. The Japanese government is the opinion that the California question is matter entirely within the jurisdiction of the federal government and should be settled in Washington.
"The Japanese in California are now in a very bad way, and the people of California do not care what becomes of them. By giving them citizenship and a vote the tension would be relieved. Japan has nothing to gain by going to the United States, and I personally wish that think a conflict between the aliens will occur. "As to Mexico, there are no number of Japanese who have gone to that country to engage in agricultural pursuits, but in my opinion it would be better for them to go to Brazil or some other country in South America. There is one thing certain—Japan will not meddle in the Mexican muddle."
This On Was a Whopper.
Hillsdale, Mich.—About the largest hide ever received at the town annery has just been dressed. It was a white ox and was received from Lake View, Mich. The hide measures eighteen feet from the nose to the tip of the tail and twelve feet across. When green the hide weighed 165 pounds and when dressed twenty-five.
16,000,000 SEE MOVIES EACH DAY
Gongress May Pass Censorship Law at This Session.
TO AFFECT 18,000 THEATERS
Film 'Makers Protest, Saying Their Products Are Good-Advocates of Proposed Measure Say Children Are Led Into Crime by Some Photo Plays. Some States Cannot All Reels.
Washington - Sixteen million persons daily attend the 18,000 moving picture theaters now in operation in the United States. A large proportion of the patrons are children. There are approximately 20,000,000 school children in the United States. The attendance of the picture shows therefore represents four-fifths of the daily enrollment of the public schools and far exceeds that reported by churches, libraries and other institutions of human betterment.
These facts, or what are represented to be facts, were brought out before the house committee on education. The committee has under consideration a bill to establish a federal censorship commission over moving pictures. The measure has strong support, and the chances are that it will be enacted into law at this session of congress. It has been indorsed by clergymen, educators and some moving picture exhibitors.
Other exhibitors oppose it on the ground that film makers censor their product and that federal censorship would interfere with the business. Another objection urged against the bill is that its passage might serve as a precedent for legislation abridging the liberty of the press.
Those who voice this objection argue that if the federal government undertakes to censor moving pictures it may extend the authority to print matter. Advocates of federal censorship of moving pictures say that these exhibitions are hurtful or beneficial to the youthful mind according to their character. It is asserted that many crimes be prosecuted to children who had witnessed delicateness in moving picture houses.
For this reason it is argued that competent inspection and effective censorship of films are needed. The two sides of the story were told in the house committee.
"Many parts of moving picture exhibitions are perfectly proper," said the Rev. H. N. Pringle, assistant superintendent of the international reform bureau. "Other parts may be objectionable because they present at times pictures of robberies, holdups, assaults, burglaries and nearly the whole catalogue of crimes.
"Every few days you may see in the newspapers allusions by criminal court judges to the connection between juvenile crime and the demoralizing presentations just mentioned. This bill proposes the examination and censorship of picture films so that tainted and diseased amusement may not be sent out from about fifty film manufacturing firms and importing firms to nearly 20,000 moving picture theaters to injure millions of immature persons whose productions "works," W. Stephen Burke of New York, representing a moving picture publication, made a defense of American made moving pictures.
"Respect for the ordinary decencies of life characterizes the producers of moving pictures," he said. "They are anxious to please, not to offend. It is important that the American producers supply not less than 75 per cent of the world's market for moving pictures. 'No matter where you go in Europe, you will find a strong percentage of each program is made up of pictures made in this country. Why? Because the American pictures with negligible exceptions are clean.'
"They are made by men whose eyes and ears heed public taste and sentiment and who do not want to cater to eager and inwardly craved taste. Now, censorship has been made in countries of Europe for a great decrease in the number of pictures made, and absolutely no good is accomplished by the censorship such as exists in Russia, Germany and other countries."
It was brought out that Ohio, Kansas, Pennsylvania and California exercise censorship over moving pictures. Also, in moving picture censorship also are in New York, San Francisco, among them New York, San Francisco, Chicago and Cleveland. Censorship laws are applied to the business in England, Germany, Austria, Denmark, Russia and Canada.
HIS INCOME TAX 2 CENTS.
Costs United States More Than Levy to Send Bill to Philadelphia.
Soho bill to Philadelphia.
Philadelphia among the most income tax bills to be paid in the local office was one for 2 cents, addressed to a resident of this city. This is the sum total of his tax, computed on a net taxable income of $2, minus all exemptions and deductions allowed by the law.
Computation of this return required the sum of several claims in this city and Washington. The expense and the paper cost the government more than the amount of the bill.
WOMAN BASEBALL MANAGER.
Gets Out and Plays. Too. With Her Boy Team.
Galesburg, Ill.—Like Mrs. Helen Britton, owner of the St. Louis Cardinals, in interest in baseball, and like Mrs. Britton heading a playing organization, Miss Sophia Mathis of the physical training department of the Galesburg grade schools goes the St. Louis magnate one better in that she takes a position on the diamond in directing her players.
Miss Mathis, one regret is that she can't wield a bat and twist the ball with the kids in the eighth grade league, of which she is head. She's too busy keeping the teams in running order.
No smoking and no swearing are rules in the disciplinary code of this amateur league, both strictly regarded.

Damages For Singular Mishap.
Damages For Singular Mishap.
Washington.—A wooden leg, broken in a street car accident, and a number of hurts and bruises are valued at $25,000 in a suit instituted in the district supreme court by Eustace Lee Nobile, a general agent and broker, against the washington Railway and Electric company.
In his declaration Noble says one of the company's cars on which he was a passenger, became, derailed at Four and a half Street southwest and his wooden leg was broken and rendered of no further use to him. The leg. he says, cost him $200.
Nobile further complains that he was thrown against the seat in front of him and that he suffered severe bruises. He spent $200 for a new leg, he says, and $600 for medical attention.
INOCULATED RABBITS GONE
Animals Carrying Deadly Virus Stolen From French Laboratory.
Marseilles.-Rabbits which had been inoculated with the virus of rabies, tuberculosis, typhoid and other deadly diseases were stolen recently from the laboratory of a bacteriologist in the suburbs of Marseilles. The bacteriologist had been experimenting in the production of vaccines.
The police are making every effort to recover the animals before they are sold or eaten, but so far have found no trace of them.
HAS PLAN TO SOLVE
FARM LABOR PROBLEM
Michigan Man Taking Census
to Aid In Colonization.
Lansing, Mich.-Mich. Commissioner James Cunningham has started what he thinks will result in the taking of a complete census of Michigan farm land.
He is sending out blanks to every supervisor with the request that they be filled out and returned. The blanks ask for the number of farm hands employed by the month, the average number of months they are employed, the average monthly wages, the number of farms operated by tenants and whether or not there is a scarcity of farm help in the district. Some of the supervisors close to Lansing have altered data.
"We hope if possible to get some data by which we may be able to start a sort of colonization system which may eventually relieve the farm labor market.
"So far we have found that day farm labor is what is scarce. On the other hand, we have reports from some sections which show that there are many farms-large ones-which are only partially cultivated.
"Our plan is to have the owners of those large farms cut them up into small parts and put on them Hungarian and other foreigners who are natural born farmers. Give them space enough to live on, and, if enough for their own needs and at the same time guarantee them a certain amount of day work in the vicinity. We think in this way we can relieve the problem of day farm labor."
Mr. Cunningham has received the cooperation of fifty-three county clerks who have them act as agents for a free emigrant bureau at their respective county seats.
LOSES FIRST BATHTUB.
Relic of the Old Days of Seventy-three Sent to the Scrap Heap.
Lorain, O.-Lorain's first bathbath has been dismantled. Installed forty-one years ago in the Farrell House, historic bostery, once the object of amazement to the entire countryside, it felt the plumber and was relegated to the scarcity. The Farrell House, still standing, was built by M. J. Farrell in 1873.
It was a wonderful building then, but more wonderful still was the copper lined, wood encased tub.
Flaxseed Sprouts in Eye.
Findlay, O.—After consulting several physicians, one of them an eye specialist, a Findlay woman rid herself of severe pains in one of her eyes when she extracted a flaxseed that had been placed there several days ago to draw out another object. When she examined the seed she found that it had begun to sprout, the rough edges of the sprout scratching the eye.

BIDS $500,000 FOR A BABY.
But Rich Virginian's Offer is Spurred by the Child's Mother.
Washington. — According to women connected with the Florence Crittenton mission, which is having a baby exhibit here to help raise funds for a summer camp and hospital for babies a wealthy man from Richmond, Va. offered to endow the mission with $500,000 if he was permitted to adopt a boy infant he had seen at the exhibit. Mrs. Kate Waller Barrett, national president of the Crittenton mission, said that the Richmond man told her that the boy, who is known as "Baby Frank," rescued a portrait of one of his ancestors "arrange for me to adopt him and will have my lawyers draw up the papers turning over that amount of money to the mission at once." Mrs. Barrett quotes the man as saying.
Mrs. Barrett said she told the man that the babies at the exhibit were not for sale and that she knew "Baby Frank" mother would not consent to an adoption.
In a statement Mrs. Barrett said that man who had visited the exhibit was accompanied with the baby's mother because she was part with him. Almost all of them had a substance, according to Mrs. Barrett: "They ought to think of the child and its future. This man is rich and can give the child every advantage."
TO DRINK RUM 214 YEARS OLD
That's What Wistar Institute's Directors Will Do In 1992.
Philadelphia—Jamaica rum 214 years old is promised to the directors of the Wistar Institute of Anatomy of the University of Pennsylvania at the centenary of the institute. But the only directors who will be allowed to drink it will be those who are in office in 1992, when a dinner will be arranged for them for the specific purpose of drinking the rum. The centenary of the institute will be in 1992.
A bottle of Jamaica rum was left unopened in this city by British officers upon their evacuation of Philadelphia in the Revolution, and its history since that time is recited on a card tied to the neck. The card was written by Isaac Wistar, founder of the institute.
Mr. Wistar inherited the bottle from his uncle, Franklin Jones. In 1894, two years after he founded the institute, he presented the bottle to the institute, with the request that it be held for the centenary celebration. The bottle is of green colored glass and holds about three pints.
Revised Calendar Would Cause Easter to Fall on Fixed Date.
Paris.—Recommendations by the international calendar commission at the meeting to be held in Berlin shortly by the International Association of perpetual calendars and a fixed, unchangeable data for the commission also advocates giving thirty-one days to June and February, thirty days to February and cutting down other months.
The idea is to give to each month an equal number of working days, and it has been so arranged that the first, fifteenth or thirtieth of the month never falls on Sunday. So far as Easter is concerned, the commission will take no action unless it is sanctioned by the religious authorities.
M. Lecolte, director of the Royal Belgian Institute of the German interested, says the warm partisans of the proposed reform are not utopians, but practical men. They are, he says, financiers and business men.
M. Lecolte recalled that at a meeting of chambers of commerce the German delegates declared that German commerce lost millions of francs when Easter came in March. The two academic semesters, separated according to universal custom by Easter, are declared also to cause inconvenience in teaching, while spring vacations are carried out during bad weather when Easter falls to March.
As to the actual division of the year, it is true, say those interested, that one is accustomed to the anomalies, but that it is nevertheless highly desirable to do away with them.
BRIDAL HAT 59 YEARS OLD.
Eler Wears it on Every Anniversary, of His Wedding.
Jamesburg, N. J. - When he was married fifty-nine years ago Matthew Eler, now eighty, promised his bride he would wear the silk hat he wore then on every anniversary of the wedding. Mrs. Eler died sixteen years ago. Eler wore the hat the other day.
The hat is a little less shiny than it was when Eler was a bridegroom of twenty-one, and it is slightly out of fashion. But he has kept it carefully, and, with the exception of the year of Mrs. Eler's funeral, has worn it on each year.
Euler. Euler one of the oldest pensioners on the relief fund of the Pennsylvania railroad, said that he hopes to wear the hat on many more anniversaries.
"I bought it from John G. Stewart of New Brunswick, who died at the age of eighty-four two months ago," he said. "I remember the day well."

Food Consumed in a Day by Explorer Weighs but Thirty-five Ounces and Has Highest Nutritive Value—Ship For South Pole Expedition is Almost Complete.
London. — With the thoroughness which has always characterized his work Sir Ernest Shackleton is about to make a preliminary trial expedition under arctic conditions in the glaciers of Norway. This will be for the special purpose of testing the rations for his trip across the arctic continent, which he hopes to make in four and a half months. No party ever started out without having food depots to make such a distance as that in a straight line, but Sir Ernest and his men have made special preparations for the attempt.
They have with the aid of the royal army medical corps evolved the "perfect ration." It will average only thir-

Sr Ermest will be accompanied by five members of his staff when he goes to Norway to conduct experiments with these rations and also test his tents and motor sledges. The party will don polar kit and travel among the girders. When the cold will not be as intense as in the polar regions, the country will furnish the same sort of sudden blizzards as are experienced in the antarctic.
The party will test the effect and potency of the rations in most detailed fashion. Such an experiment never has been made before.
Shackleton's new ship, the Endurance, has been almost completely fitted in Norway. The vessel is eightteen feet longer than his last ship, Nimrod, is a beautiful specimen of wooden shipbuilding and it probably is the last of its class that will be constructed. The whole keel is made of solid olive and a half feet thick, and the sides are two feet thick. The vessel belongs to the barkentine class and has the latest triple expansion engines and will steam at the rate of ten knots.
The ship is fitted to consume both oil and coal. When in the ice oil will be substituted for coal, which will mean economy if it is delayed in the pack, as the boilers can be kept warm when he has generated quickly. When the oil has been filled with water ballast, the tanks will be filled with water ballast, theance will take on 100 tons of coal briquettes at the South Shetland islands, so it will enter the Weddell sea with full bunkers.
The second ship, Aurora, intended for the Ross sea side of the expedition, has been purchased and will be delivered at Hobart, Tasmania, at the end of August.
The Endurance, which is to operate on the opposite side of the antarctic, will leave England early in August for Buenos Aires, when it finally will start for the antarctic base in October. Most of the members of the expedition will leave England in the Endurance, but Str Eric Shanklin will travel later by mail stainer and join his ship at Buenos Aires.
The dogs, which constitute an important factor in the expedition, are a cross between a wolf and a Scotch stag hound and have been bred in northern Canada. The lightest of them will turn the scales at eighty pounds.

SEGREGATING REPUBLICANS.
The Central Afro-American of Saint Louis in a timely editorial protests against the action of certain branches of the Republican party in Saint Louis in putting the Afro-American voters off to themselves and shutting them out of the party councils in the formation of campaign plans. The Afro-American says: "Especially is it true of some wards in this city, where the Afro-American voters are directed to hold separate meetings, where the only work they can accomplish is to carry out the instructions given them by the advocates of this segregation` idea. It is an idea entirely foreign to true Republican principles, having no place upon the roll of honor with the names of Lincoln, Sumner, Grant, Douglas and others, but very properly belongs in the category of ideas advocated by Vardaman, Tillman, Blease and their ilk.
No separate meetings are necessary for the German, Irish, Jew, Italian or any English-speaking race of Republicans, then why in the name of all that is honest and fair are such meetings necessary for Afro-American Republicans. Afro-American do not demand more than their share of recognition in appointments, based upon their numerical strength, and they will never be satisfied with less. All voters in the Republican Party should have the right to express their preferences for men who desire their support at the polls, and this can only be done by Afro-American representatives being admitted to the party councils where the selections of the party organization are discussed. This is the only method we know of where by the party organizations can in all truth act for a "government of the people, by the people, and for the people."
Let us have ONE PARTY COUNCIL participated in by representatives of ALL NATIONALTIES, then we shall have TRUE HARMONY, and a

THE APPEAL does not object to the collection of funds for proper educational purposes but is opposed to some of the methods of these uncious collectors, who are evidently more interested in providing food and drink and raiment for their own fat and sleek bodies than in uplift work. In order to curry favor with the whites, they make false and disgusting statements in their speeches, praise their Southern oppressors, uphold segregation and laud their own degradation. If the South is so attractive as they picture it, they ought to stay there and not come North to injure their brethren by their jim-crow utterances. They have done incalculable harm in the North and they teach the same stuff in their schools that they talk when on this side of Mason and Dixon's line. God help the students under their control.
DEATH OF SEN. BRADLEY.
In the recent death of Senator Bradley of Kentucky, the Afro-American people have lost a great friend. He was one of the most distinguished Republican leaders of Kentucky in his generation. An orator of unusual ability he had been prominent before the people of his state and the nation.
At the national convention in 1896 he was the choice of his state for president, and received 105 votes for vice president in the 1888 convention. He seconded the nomination of Grant in 1880 and that of Roosevelt in 1904. In 1884 it was his oratory largely that prevented the reduction of southern representation in the convention.
In 1895 he was elected governor of Kentucky by 8,912 majority. Victory again settled on his banner in 1908, when a Democratic legislature, by eight votes, after a deadlock, finally elected him to the senate. His term would have expired March 3, 1915.
Many years ago, the writer was the secretary of a state convention in Kentucky, over which Mr. Bradley presided, and was well acquainted with him and knew personally of his many kindly traits and his deep interest in the welfare of the Afro-Americans.
PLAYING WITH FIRE.
The Afro-Americans in Atlantic City who are bending every energy to get a jimcrow principal for their jimcrow school ought to be in better business. They are making a great mistake. Instead of extending jimcrowism they ought to fight it and have the jimcrow school abolished as it is contrary to the laws of the state of New Jersey. Segregation NEVER plays. Perhaps the children of the men who are agitating this matter will curse them in the days to come and they will be justified in doing so. Any man who at any time justifies and fights for the segregation of his people from other American citizens

is not only an enemy of his race but he is also an enemy of the Republic. Caste begets caste. If the Afro-American people are segregated why not the Jews next? Then perhaps some numerically weak class of citizens of foreign birth. Then perhaps the rich and the poor will be separated in the schools. Who knows? The jimcrow agitators of Atlanta City are playing with fire.
"RETURNING" TO AFRICA
The Richmond, (Va.) Reformer speaks of the colored people "returning to Africa." "Returning" is not the proper word; it should be "going." The people who are going to Africa are possibly descendents of Africans who were brought here against their wills a hundred years ago or more. The Afro-Americans who have started for Africa are poor deluded creatures who have been imposed upon by soundreels of the Chief Sam ilk. They will sup sorrow by the ladle full. Africa is not the place to go in order to better one's condition unless the immigrant is a white man. An Afro-American with a little capital who wishes to really improve his condition should go to Brazil. In that country he will find no color line and his advancement will be limited only by his own capabilities.
Fifty years ago when we were going to school one of the things that greatly impressed us was the universal contempt that was held for the traitor Benedict Arnold. But things have changed now according to press dispatches in the daily papers, one of which is as follows: "Atlanta, Ga., June 3.—Memorial exercises in many cities of the South marked the observance of the birthday of Jefferson Davis today. In several states the occasion was designated as a legal holiday." Just think of honoring the day that arch traitor was born! One of the causes of the conditions in this country today is because treason was not made so odious that no one who wished to be tolerated in any community would admit he was one of the traitors of 1860-3.
IS CASTE BREAKING UP?
Sir George Macalpine says that caste in India is breaking up and that Christianity is doing the work. He gives caste ten years to die and says that when it is dead there will be a great infux from India into the Christian church.
The Hindu who gives up his religion and even his caste to get into the Christian church is a fool—he's jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.
The Christian church is really the greatest promoter of caste in the world and if great numbers of Hindus break into the Christian church they will promptly be organized into segregated churches in violation of the alleged basic principle of Christianity.

Towards. Pa — Feeble with the weight of years, yet determined in manner, Mrs. Hann Harrison entered the courthouse and handed the papers in a divorce granted by twenty-eight years ago. Prothonotary Bestseped two hours searching the records and finally found that back in the eighties Mrs. Harrison had been granted a divorce from James Harrison on the grounds of desertion. The decree was to become effective when Mrs. Harrison paid the costs of the case. The conditions were explained to the aged woman, and she said she knew all about it and was ready to pay the costs as required.
Then she explained that about the time the divorce was applied for she had the husband was dead, and she decided that a divorce was not necessary.

REBELS COIN MONEY.
Coins Not Pretenious and Look as H
Made by Armeture
Juarez, Mexico—It is not generally known that the Constitutionalist forces in Mexico have coined money in silver and copper. These coins were struck in Chihuahua and are very crudely done—in fact, are about the most amateurish pieces of money that have been produced in many years. The peso or dollar has on one side simply "H del Parral, 1913," in a wreath, and on the other side, "1 peso." The half dollar is more pretentious. On one side is the inscription, "Fuertas Constitutionalistas, 1913" (Constitutional forces), and in the center a liberty cap surrounded by rays, a copy of the older style of Mexican coins. The reverse has "50 centavos" in a wreath, a poor copy of the present coinage of Huerta. The copper piece, which is said to have been made from trolley wire melted down, is similar to the 50 centavos, but has a "2 C" in a wreath for 2 centavos.

EDISON BRAVES DOCTOR'S IRE
"Wizard" Burns 'Midnight Oil to Perfect Talking Movie.
West Orange, N. J.-Much against the advice of his physician and his family, Thomas A. Edison is again burning the midnight oil. It became known here that in a week Mr. Edison has spent less than six hours in his home, Glennport in Llewellyn Park.
Practically all day long and the better part of the night the "wizard" is on the third floor of his laboratory working on the talking movie.
"Any person who knows Mr. Edison is acquainted with the fact that he will never give up interest or work or experiment with a thing until it has become as nearly perfect as possible," said William H. Meadowcroft, his private secretary.

FIND NEW INDIAN TRIBES.
Party Discover Ten In British Guians
Dr. Farabee Writes.
Philadelphia—Colonial Rosevelt as the reported discoverer of a jungle in Brazil will have to share the laurels in that field of exploration with the University of Pennsylvania's Amazon expedition, whose leader, Dr. William G. Farabee, announces, in a letter received, the discovery of ten hitherto unknown Indian tribes. Dr. Farabee writes that the party relied on the gorgetown, British Guiana, on April 10 and 11, 1813, Amazon basin and the highlands which divide Brazil and the Guianas. The party, the letter proceeds, experienced terrible hardships while traversing the jungle and were compelled to live on monkey and alligator flesh when their regular food supply was exhausted. The energy emerged from the jungle bareheaded, barefooted, hungry and feveracked
"From Dec. 16 to April 1 we were among tribes that had never seen white men before." Dr. Farabe continues. "None of them had ever seen gums or salt or clothing or matches, and beads and knives. All wanted fishing equipment and movements of men and women, took photographs and recorded languages.
"We visited the following tribes in southern British Guiana: Walwal, Parkutu, Waihe, Chikena, Katiwanu, Toneyan, Dlow, Kunayonas and Urukun. None of these tribes is mentioned in Brinton's list of American races.
"Several new tribes were found on the Brazil side of the divide."
WALKS 17 MILES TO PREACH
Missing Train For First Time In Years.
Sets Out on Foot.
Quitman, Ga.—Proving that the notable exploits of the old time circuit rider are not beyond the clergy of today, Rev. A. M. Rich walked seventeen miles to keep his engagement with his Quitman congregation at St James Episcopal church.
Mr. Rich intended catching the afternoon train at Quitman from Valdosta, where he has his residence and is pastor of Grace church. He missed the train, however, for the first time he insisted. He determined to keep the appointment here and started out to walk the distance. It is seventeen miles by railroad and longer by the highway.
Mr. Rich arrived ten minutes late, and none of his congregation was aware until afterward that he had walked.
12,000 DAILY PLAN SUICIDE IN CHICAGO
Psychologist Shows How Populace Looks on Life.
Chicago.—Twelve thousand persons are daily contemplating suicide in Chicago, according to the deductions made from Coroner Hoffman's figures by Psychologist Parker H. Sarcomb. This number about 600 annually kill themselves. "One thousand attempt self murder," says the coroner, "but 400 recover." Spencer's law of momentum is quoted by the psychologist to support his analysis of the coroner's figures. He says:
"So uniform is the operation of the natural law which controls the fate of mankind that we know under the present conditions that in 1914 and until new educational systems have had a chance to take effect about 150 will commit suicide by poison, of whom 90 will use carbolic acid, 15 corrosive sublimate, 7 cyanide of potassium, 6 arsenic, etc.
"While it is impossible to name the unfortunate. we know, too, that, with the present population and until our social, economic and educational systems undergo fundamental change, each year approximately 140 will commit suicide by shooting, 120 by asphyxiation, 60 by hanging, 24 by stabbing, 20 by drowning and 14 by jumping out of windows."

Jewish Girl Outraged and Crucified by Berlin....One of the most revolting crimes in the dark history of Russia was reported here in a special dispatch from St. Petersburg, telling of three Russian youths having outraged and then crucified the daughter of a poor Jewish fisherman in Stavropol, on the Volga.
After outraging the young girl, the dispatch declares, the three youths dragged her to a cemetery, where they were taken to the graves. Nails were driven through her hands and feet and even through her eyes. The three murderers were but their friends in the town released them and they escaped, it is asserted.
WHEN IS MIXED BLOOD INDIAN?
Many perplexing questions have propounded to government experts, but they are all mere incidents to the puzzle now before the Supreme Court of the United States. It is: "When is a mixed-blood Indian?" It is the contention of the government that the term mixed-blood can be applied only to those Indians who possess a quantity of white blood amounting to one-half or more. This question arises over the term "mixed-blood" Indians, as employed in the Clapp amendment to the Indian appropriation bill of 1806, removing restrictions as to sale, incumbrance and taxation of the allotments.
The circuit court of appeals for the Eighth circuit held that every Indian who had an admixture of other than Indian blood, however small, is a mixed-blood. In the three cases decided it was stipulated that one of the Indians had one-eighteen white blood, another one-sixteenth, and the other one-thirty-second, so the court dismissed the cases. The Department of Justice then appealed the case to the Supreme Court.
By the way, the question: What is a Negro? has never been decided by the Supreme Court and it would probably be as interesting as the Indian case. THE APPEAL has always contended that Negro is not a proper racial designation for Americans of African descent. To hear men who are not more than one-thirty-second Negro yelling themselves hoarse about being "Negroes" presumably for the purpose of making themselves popular with black men has always seemed very ludicrous. Afro-American will cover all the various admixtures.
THE REPUBLIC'S SHAME
For the first time in the history of the United States, the machinery of the government of 90,000,000 people is being used to humiliate and degrade 10,000,000 of its loyal and law-abiding citizens. In some of the departments of the Federal Government at Washington Afro-American employees have been segregated from their former associates and fellow workers and ordered to use separate retiring rooms. In some instances cages have been built to separate Afro-American and white government clerks. No other class is obliged to wear this badge of degradation. There is no warrant in law for these orders of subordinate officials. The facts have been brought to the attention of the Department heads and thousands of petitions, memorials and letters have been sent to President Wilson, but up to this writing he has not seen fit to rescind this infamous un-American policy.
The clerks who have been humilized by the segregation orders are in no sense wards of the government. They have won their places by examination and women and the government which they have so faithfully and efficiently served has no right to place upon them this badge of dishonor. It is not a question of social equality that chimera which so many Caucasians claim to fear, but of civil equality which is the right of every citizen. Heretofore the attempts to degrade the citizenry have been the work of individual states in the Southern titer; the Federal Government must be held responsible for this new attempt to establish that impossible thing, caste in a Republic.
dent and we believe that he will carefully consider the many protests which have been made and give the word which a Christian Statesman should give, that during his administration there shall be no segregation or discrimination on account of race, creed or color among the servants of the government.

Afro-American Woman Lynched by
Americans.
Muskogee, Okla.-Lemuel Peace, a
Caucasian, went into the colored
section of the city Sunday night and
mistreated Marie Scott, an Afro-American
woman. To defend herself, she killed
him. She was arrested and put into
the Wagner county jail for safe keep-
ing. Tuesday she was taken out of
the jail by a masked mob and hanged
to a telephone pole. The mob got into
the jail by strategy. The mob pulled
the screaming woman from her cell,
tied a rope about her neck and
dragged her some distance through the
streets before reaching the telephone
pole.
Honest fair mind Americans feel
that the fair fame of our country is
being trailed in the dust; they hang
their heads in shame. It is the Nation's shame.
We hold President Wilson responsible because in the final analysis the acts of his subordinate officials are his and he has the power to end this injustice by a word.
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 lychings 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 jimcrow 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 fails to do this there is really no excuse for its existence.
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 capiAfrican blood have been described as tallized. Americans of more or less "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 capitalise it. The word Afro-American has been used by THE APPEAL for thirty years.

UNIST JUDGE DENOUNDED.
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 men protested, 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 he had recalled. 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 highway robbery that occurred in Van Nuys where there would have been a lynching.

Rev. G. W. Camp returned Tuesday from his trip to Chicago. He claims to have had the time of his life, at the 126th general assembly of the Presbyterian church. There were about 50 African and Afro-American representatives present. One of the Africans represented a church at Elah, Africa, with 8,000 members, and is the largest Presbyterian church in the world.
CORRECTIONS—The name of Mr. Errol S. Horn, of New York, was inadvertently omitted from the list of those who were bidden to the birthday party of Miss Adina Adams. Since the party she has received a pair of embroidered white silk gloves from Mrs. Wm. Alston and a string of amber beads from Miss Laura White of Chicago. Also the name of Miss Mayme Goins was accidentally omitted as a donor with Miss Elenor Barksdale of a pair of black silk hose.
Mr. David Wallbom, one of the candidates for County Commissioner is a member of the Wallbom Furniture Co. He has been a member of the School Board for six years and was the last president of the Board, which went out of existence June 1st. It was mainly through his firm stand that the segregation which was attempted at the Mattocks school near the Crispus Attucks Home a few years ago was knocked in the head, now everything is moving along securely there.
Pioneer Lodge, F. and A. M. held its annual election of officers last Monday evening with the following result: George W. Edwards, W. M.; John Strawder, S. W.; J. A. Roberts, J. W.; J. H. Dillingham, Sec.; Noble Pryor, Rec. Sec.; Walker Williams, Treas. The annual reports of the secretary and treasurer showed receipts of $1,513.65 and that $200.00 had been paid on the principal owing on their property leaving a balance of $3,750 due. The building committee reported that it had plans under which it was confidently hoped to pay off the debt on the property and remodel the same within the next year.
The entertainment given by the Banner Club of Mars Lodge at Pilgrim Baptist Church, Thursday evening, was a very pleasant affair in every way. The members of Mars Lodge were present in a body in full regalia. Mr. F. D. Parker was Master of Ceremonies. The program began with an organ solo by Mr. Robert S. Strong, followed by the repetition of the Lord's Prayer by all present. Miss Elenor Barksdale gave a vocal solo, and won a recall. Then followed the presentation of the beautiful $100 banner by the Banner Club. Mr. A. V. Hall, president of the club, took first, and followed by Mr. W. T. Pendible and Chas. H. Miller. The banner is an elegant specimen in red and black silk gold tinsel lettering, fringe and decorations. On the front is a picture, in colors, pertaining to the Order, and the words "Mars Lodge No. 2202 of St. Paul," and on the back "Instituted at Fort Randall, April 29, 1881." It is a beautiful piece of work. Mrs. Hattie Hall sang a song and encore as also did Mr. C. H. Miller. The Alpha Quartet—Messrs. Earl Walker, A. V. Hall, B. C. Archer, Claude Jackson—rendered a quartette written for the occasion. Then followed the splendid moving pictures of the Odd Fellows great parade on Sunday, May 10, and a number of other pictures. It was a very satisfactory entertainment in every way.

Candidate for Re-election as Sheriff of Ramsey County.
John Wagener, the present Sheriff of Ramsey County, is a native or St. Paul and has lived here all his life and has been actively engaged in business.
He has always taken a lively interest in politics and has made good in every position he has held. When he was elected four years ago he promised to distribute the patronage of his office so as to recognize all nationalities and so far as the Afro-Americans are concerned he has recognized them. Mrs. Grace Booker and Mr. Frank Kingry are among his present force and will of course remain if he is elected. This ought to recommend him to the voters.

he started home on a late car a care

promptly arrested Lewis—of course
Some of the passengers insisted thal
if one was to be arrested the other
should be also. Lewis was given 2
chance to tell his story to the police
man who at once turned Lewis loose
and took the other fellow in tow. This
was a little surprising in a St. Paul
policeman, wasn’t it? But it just goes
to show you some policemen have 4

white man admitted ‘his failure tc

Dedicated to my Sister,
Mra: Mi. 3 Browe.
Far away in distant lands
I see thee with out-streched hands,
To reach our Savior's Crystal
Throne, *
Amidst the forest all alone.
And in the darkiiess of the night,
Our Saviour took you in his flight,
To mansions prepared for those,
‘That from the sepulchre he arose.
Now wearing his eternal crown,
And clothed in sweet ethereal gown,
‘We know thy heart so full of love,
Will revel in delights above.
While we are left alone to grieve,
Dear Sister, we will still believe,
‘The pure in heart shall meet again,
When all our sorrows have an end.
